Meizu M5c review

Pros: camera, battery
Cons: didn't find any
I decided to buy this smartphone because of the positive feedback from a friend. Like budget, but according to the characteristics of a higher price segment. I was interested in a smartphone inexpensive, but with a good camera.
The appearance, of course, of modern smartphones is not very original.
Quite an excellent solution for its price category, the quality of the camera, in particular the photo, is the highest, when photographing during the day, even in unclear weather, the pictures are high-quality and clear, the zoom works with a bang and when approaching the quality of the pictures is not blurred, moving objects also capture enough clearly, does not "lubricate". Close-ups and portraits are simply gorgeous, thanks to the excellent detail. Night shooting is certainly not a “fountain”, but in principle the photographed is visible, and legible enough, even in motion.
In addition to an excellent camera, I want to note an excellent battery - I play toys an hour a day, my daughter watches cartoons for two hours, I call, take pictures, write SMS all day long, I don’t surf the Internet through my phone, with such a load it keeps two or three without recharging day!
All in all, it's a great machine for the price.
Pros: cool design
Cons: The camera is not very good, it freezes hard
My husband dreamed about this phone, but my lg spirit even works better, as it turned out, and it’s not worth it. In general, the design is cool and comfortable, lightweight. Everything else is a three. During the day, the camera sucks.

Restoring Meizu M5 after an unsuccessful firmware

There is a small introduction. While the bootloader is not unlocked on your meizu m3 mini, it will not work to flash some regions using this instruction (for example, EMMC_BOOT - where the preloader lies). So for severe cases, such as damage to information in EMMC_BOOT, etc., this instruction, at the moment, will not work. Also, corrected (patched) images will not be sewn.

1. Download SP Flashtool with our scatter file.
2. Install the drivers from the VCOM Drivers archive folder
3. Run flash_tool.exe, the developer recommends running it by right-clicking and selecting "Run as administrator".
4. Select Download-Agent -> DA_PL.bin, Scatter-loading File -> MT6755_Android_scatter.txt (on the scatter3 screen, don't pay attention, just an old screen).
We also click in the Location column opposite the partition that we want to flash (in the recovery example) and select the appropriate image. I don’t post the images themselves, since everyone who was able to turn the body probably has them, and besides, it’s worth taking images from the version of the firmware that is on the body.

5. I note that it is probably worth making a dump of what is now stitched on the body. Backup has never harmed anyone
There are added lines that almost completely cover the flash, for example, EMMC_USER is backed up up to the cache section.
If someone wants to back up a specific partition, add a line with the Add button, double-click on the added line, select where and with what name we will save the backup, then in the newly opened window select the region from which we want to back up, from which address to start and how much read bytes. This information can be viewed in the scatter file (fields region, linear_start_addr, partition_size)
- Next, click the Read Back button. The flashtool enters the device waiting state.
- We take the switched off phone, hold down the Vol + button (this is mandatory) and connect it to the USB port of the computer. Flashtoop will load DA onto the body, after which information on our chip will appear under the picture of a black smart.
If this did not happen, and information about the error was displayed, re-read what was written above again, you definitely did something wrong as described here.
6. The backup is done, it's time to sew. We go back to the Download tab and here we do all the same manipulations as when creating a backup, namely:
- press the Download button;
- take the switched off phone, hold down the Vol + button (this is mandatory) and connect it to the computer's USB port.
FlashTool will start the firmware and at the end of it you will see this notification

If the question arose about how to update the firmware on the Meizu M5, then first of all you should try to do it directly using the smartphone itself. It does not imply any complex manipulations, so it is suitable even for inexperienced users.

Download firmware from the official site

The entire flashing process is always based on a special file that needs to be downloaded to the device from the developer's official resource: for Mi5 - , for Mi5s - . It offers licensed firmware for certain device models. It remains only to select a model and start downloading. You can do this both on a smartphone and on a computer, and in the future, simply reload the file to a mobile gadget. It's more convenient for someone here. It is worth emphasizing that the new firmware "weighs" a lot.

After the download to the device is completed, you need to find the downloaded update. The file is usually located in a folder called Download or folder of the browser with which the download was made. The default firmware name is update.zip.

To start the whole update process, this file must be placed in the internal memory of the smartphone. To do this, through Conductor"Select the firmware by long pressing, then -" Move", and the end address will be " Inner memory". Now you can move on to the next step.

We start the smartphone in Recovery mode

In order not to lose any important information, you should make a backup copy . The most reliable firmware option is the standard developer menu recovery mode. When all backups are made, it remains only to start installing new software. It can take some time. Do not panic if this takes a long time, because the entire system needs to be updated. After the firmware installation is completed, the phone will start the desktop in standard mode.

To get into it, first you need to turn off the device, and while turning it on, hold down a certain combination of buttons (for each smartphone it has its own, for Meizu it is the power button + volume button). The update installation developer menu will open. Click on System Upgrade' and, if necessary, on ' Clear Data” (note that this will delete documents, video games, videos, music and other files you downloaded). Then click on “ Start" and start the update installation.

When the flashed desktop has already started, it is recommended to restart the gadget for more stable operation. That's all - you can use and enjoy the new system.

Using a computer

In continuation of the answer to the question of how to update the Meizu M5, you can consider another option. It has already been said above that the new firmware is often large, so the easiest way is to download it and install it via a laptop or PC.

Download firmware

The Meizu M5 update can be easily found on the official website of the manufacturer, focusing on the available phone model: for Mi5 - , for Mi5s - . A standard computer browser is fine for downloading, the main thing is that the Internet connection is reliable.

Before starting the whole flashing process, it is strongly recommended that you back up all your data. It will be unpleasant if any difficulties arise during the update and all important files are deleted. You can make a backup through the standard settings of the device.

Connecting the phone in Recovery mode

After the necessary update file has been downloaded, you should connect the gadget to the computer using a USB cable. Now you need to launch the menu recovery mode. It is in this situation that it will be responsible for the flashing. We turn off the device. To get to the menu, hold down the key combination that was mentioned above (power and volume up).

Checking the file name and extension

Before proceeding with the flashing, once again make sure that your installation file has the correct name and has the correct extension. The original name is update.zip. This is an archive that in no case should be unpacked, renamed and generally opened so as not to accidentally make changes to it.

Firmware

So, to flash the phone through a PC, you need:

1. Connect the phone to the computer in Recovery mode.
2. A Recovery folder will appear on your computer. In it, transfer the installation file to a mobile device.

In the Recovery Mod, you can see two functions: the first is responsible for flashing, and the second is for clearing all data. It is recommended to activate both and start the process. Now it remains to wait for the updated flagship to reboot.

It should be noted that for firmware it is required to use only a reliable, and even better, original USB cable. A bad or interrupted connection can lead to complete damage to the operating system of the mobile device.
