When buying a Meizu smartphone, users often receive a non-Russian device with dozens of unknown Chinese applications. Today we will tell you how to install international firmware with Russian language using the Meizu M2 Note as an example.

Meizu smartphone firmware

Firmware for Meizu comes in five types: Unicom (U) and China Mobile (C) - operator versions intended for China, YunOS (Y) - version developed jointly with Alibaba also for the Chinese market, Universal (A) - universal firmware, suitable for all countries, it can be installed instead of all the previous ones, and finally International (I) - the international version, it is with this firmware that Meizu smartphones are officially supplied to the markets of Russia and Ukraine.

As you understand, last option that's what interests us. The international firmware contains Russian and Ukrainian languages, installed out of the box Google services and it does not have pre-installed Chinese software. But here’s the problem - if you “roll” it instead of any other version, we will get the “Firmware corrupt” error. From our instructions you will learn what steps you need to take to prevent this from happening.

The whole process can be divided into 3 stages:

1. Install A firmware via Recovery;
2. We obtain root rights and change the ID using a special script;
3. Install the firmware via Recovery.

Looking ahead, I want to say that fulfilling the second point will be the most difficult. In general, I won’t bore you any longer, let’s get started!

1. Installing A firmware

9. Go down and click on “System privileges”.

10. Check the box next to “Accept” and click “OK”.

11. Enter the password for your Flyme account and click on “OK” again.

13. Now you need to download 3 files from our website and transfer them to Meizu in the root folder:

• SuperSU APK | Download
• Terminal Emulator for Android APK | Download
• Script file "Chid.sh" | Download

14. Open file manager“Documents” and run the installation of SuperSU and Terminal Emulator for Android one by one.

The system will warn you that the ability to install applications from unknown sources is blocked by default. Simply click on “Settings” and you will enable this option.

Then just click on “Install”.

15. So we installed 2 new applications that we will need to run the “Chid.sh” script.

16. We go to SuperSU and see a notification about the need to update the SU binary file. Click “Continue”.

17. On the next tab, select “Normal”.

19. The installation process will begin. Wait a bit, it lasts about a minute.

20. At the end you will receive a message that the process completed successfully. Click OK.

If the message “Installation failed” appears on the screen, then try again.

21. Now open Terminal Emulator and after the dollar sign type:

su

And press "Enter".

22. A Superuser prompt will appear. Grant root access to the application by clicking on "Grant".

23. Remember about the file “Chid.sh”? It should be located in the root folder on your smartphone. If everything is so, then enter in the terminal emulator.

Everything changes, and today on the market budget smartphones“ruled” by the lines from Meizu and Xiaomi. These phones are good and easy to use. But there are no problems, for example, when you try to update the firmware of your phone, the Firmware Corrupt error pops up. This problem is common to almost all devices from Meizu (Note M2, M3, M5, MX4, MX6, etc.). Today we will talk about the causes of this error, and also describe several practical methods for solving it.

Reasons for failure

So, the error itself may appear during a firmware test, updating it via Recovery, or at the very end of the installation. There are two main reasons in this case:

How to fix the crash

There are several solutions to the problem and they depend on the cause itself. Next, check all the solution options, starting with the simplest:

Transition to the international version

If you run into the Chinese version (indicating the version with the letters U/A/C), then converting the device to the international version may help you. This is done by changing the device ID. The general process looks like this:

1. To get started, create your Flyme account and activate it on your phone.
2. Download to your phone international firmware(it has an index I) for your Meizu model.
3. Drop a script (in .sh format) into the root of your phone's memory, which will change your ID to an international one. Attention (!)– for different models, it is different. Type in the search: change ID indicating the model and download this file with the script in phone memory root. If this is an archive, unpack it.
4. Go to "Settings"– account "My Flyme"– click on the user – look for the item below “System Privileges”– we agree and click OK – we confirm the password and reboot.
5. Open the menu again “Settings” – "Safety"– activate "Unknown sources".
6. Install SuperSu. Once the download is complete, DO NOT launch the program.
7. Next, download the Terminal Emulator for Android program to your phone.
8. Now go to SuperSU and update binary file through normal mode– we allow everything – we reboot the smartphone again.
9. Launch the terminal and enter the first command: S.U.(the script will provide superuser rights).
10. Then enter the command sh /”location path to the script”/”script name”.sh and confirm via Enter. Example: sh /storage/emulated/0/global.sh if this is a memory card sh /sdcard/chid.sh.
11. The phone will reboot and the phone ID version will change from Chinese to International. Next, in normal mode, we start the process of downloading the firmware you need. Here visual instructions by changing the version to Meizu phones MX5 and M1 Note.

Conclusion

These steps will help get rid of the Firmware Corrupt error. If you initially have an international version, and these solutions suddenly turn out to be useless, then you should check your phone for factory bugs - contact the service. In the second case, it happens that you need to change the Chinese version to a later or earlier one.

The rapid spread and growing popularity of smartphones from the Chinese brand Meizu are associated not only with the excellent price/performance ratio, but also with the presence in the devices of the proprietary FlymeOS operating system based on Android, under which all the manufacturer’s devices operate. Let's look at how this OS is updated, reinstalled and replaced with custom firmware on one of the most popular models from Meizu - the M2 Note smartphone.

Before proceeding with the procedure for reinstalling the system software, it should be noted that the process of updating and reinstalling the firmware on Meizu devices is one of the safest and easiest compared to Android devices from other brands.

There is some risk of damage to the software only when installing modified solutions from third-party developers. However, we should not forget the following.

The owner of the smartphone independently decides to carry out certain procedures with the device and is also independently responsible for the results and consequences! The site administration and the author of the article are not responsible for possible Negative consequences user actions!

Before the installation procedure for the system software in Meizu M2 Note begins, you should find out what firmware is installed in the device and determine the ultimate goal of manipulating the device, that is, the version of the system that will be installed.

Currently, the following firmwares exist for Meizu M2 Note:

• G(Global) – software installed by the manufacturer in smartphones intended for sale on the international market. Software indexed G is the best solution for users of the Russian-speaking region, since in addition to the appropriate localization, the firmware is not replete with Chinese applications and services that are unnecessary in most cases, and can also be equipped with Google programs.
• I(International) is an old designation for the Global firmware, used to classify software based on the outdated and practically unused Flyme OS 4 today.
• A(Universal) is a universal type of system software that can be found in M2 Note devices intended for both the international and Chinese markets. Depending on the version, it may not be characterized by the presence of Russian localization; Chinese services and applications are present.
• U(Unicom) C(China Mobile) - system types for users living and using Meizu smartphones on the island part of China (U) and inside the rest of the PRC (C). There is no Russian language, as are Google services/applications; the system is replete with Chinese services and applications.

To determine the type and version of the operating system installed on the device, you must do the following.

Where to get firmware

The manufacturer Meizu provides the ability to download firmware from its own official resources. To receive FlymeOS packages latest versions For M2 Note you can use the following links:

All packages and tools used in the examples below are available for download from the links that can be found in the corresponding instructions in this material.

Preparation

Proper preparation determines the success of almost any event, and the software installation process in Meizu M2 Note is no exception. To achieve the desired results, we do the following.

Drivers

As for pairing Meizu M2 Note with a computer, the phone usually does not provide its users with any problems with this issue. The drivers necessary for interaction between the device and the PC are integrated into the factory firmware and are most often installed automatically.

If automatic installation of the necessary components is not performed, you should use the virtual CD built into the device’s memory, which contains the installer.

In case M2 Note does not load into Android, and using the built-in SD is impossible, the contents of the latter can be downloaded from the link:

Flyme account

By purchasing a Meizu device running branded shell Flyme, you can count on the opportunity to take advantage of all the benefits of a fairly developed ecosystem of applications and services created by the smartphone developer. To gain access to a number of functions, including those that will be needed in the process of preparing for the firmware, you need a Flyme account.

Note that registering an account and adding it to your phone greatly simplifies obtaining root rights, as well as creating backup copy user data. This will be discussed below, but in general we can say that a Flyme account is necessary for every device owner. You can register an account directly from your smartphone, but, for example, on Chinese versions of FlymeOS this may be difficult. Therefore, the most correct thing would be to carry out the creation process account from PC.

1. Open the page for registering a new account by following the link:



2. Filling out the input field telephone number by selecting the country code from the drop-down list and entering the digits of the number manually. Then click "Click to pass" and complete the simple task “You are not a robot.” After this the button becomes active "Register now", press it.



3. We are waiting for an SMS with a verification code,

   

   which we enter into the appropriate field on the page of the next registration step, and then click "NEXT".



4. The next step is to come up with and enter in the field "Password" account password and then click "SUBMIT".



5. The profile management page will open, where you can set a meaningful nickname and avatar (1), change the password (2), add an email address (3) and security questions to restore access (4).



6. Set the Account Name, which you will need to enter on your smartphone:
   

   

   Please note that as a result of the manipulation we obtain a login for access to Flyme account kind [email protected], which is both a login and by email in the Meizu ecosystem.

7. On your smartphone, open the device settings and go to "Flyme account"(“Flyme Account”) section "Account"(“Account”). Next, click "Login/Register"(“Login/Register”), then enter the Account Name (top field) and password (bottom field) specified during registration. Click "Log in"("ENTRANCE").



8. At this point, account creation can be considered complete.

Backup

When flashing any device, a situation arises when all the data contained in its memory, including user information (contacts, photos and videos, installed applications etc.) will be deleted is a standard and quite common case.

To prevent the loss of important information, you must backup. As for Meizu M2 Note, creating a backup can be done using various methods. For example, you can use one of the ways to save information before flashing Android devices from the article:

In addition, the manufacturer has created a good tool for creating a backup copy of important data for Meizu smartphone users without using third-party tools. Using the capabilities of your Fly account, you can fully or partially save a copy of almost all your data, including system settings, installed applications, contacts, messages, call history, calendar data, photos.

Additionally. Synchronization with Meizu cloud.

In addition to creating a local backup, Meizu allows you to synchronize basic user data with your own cloud service, and if necessary, restore the information by simply logging into your Fly account. To implement constant automatic synchronization, do the following.

Obtaining root rights

To perform serious manipulations with the Meizu M2 Note system software, Superuser rights are required. For owners of the device in question who have registered a Flyme account, the procedure does not present any difficulties and is carried out using the following official method.

Additionally. In the event that using a Flyme account and the official method of obtaining root rights is impossible for some reason, you can use the KingRoot application. Manipulations through the program carried out in order to obtain Superuser rights are described in the material:

ID replacement

When switching from software versions intended for use in China to Global firmware, you will need to change the hardware identifier. By following the steps of the instructions below, the “Chinese” Meizu M2 Note turns into a “European” device into which you can install software containing the Russian language, Google services and other advantages.

1. Make sure you have Superuser rights on the device.
2. Install the “Terminal Emulator for Android” application in one of the following ways:
   



3. Download the archive containing a special script for changing the Meizu M2 Note ID.
4. Unpack the package with the script and place the file chid.sh to the root of the smartphone's internal memory.



5. Let's launch "Terminal Emulator". We write the command su and press "Enter" on the virtual keyboard.

   

   Grant root rights to the application – button "Allow" in the request window and "Still Allow" in the warning window.

6. The result of executing the command above should be the change of the $ symbol to # in the terminal command line. Write the command sh /sdcard/chid.sh and press "Enter". After this, the device will reboot automatically and start up with a new identifier.



7. To make sure everything was successful, you should perform the above two steps again. If the identifier is suitable for installing the global version of the OS, the terminal will issue a corresponding notification.

Firmware

Below are two possible ways installation, update and rollback to an earlier version of the official FlymeOS in Meizu M2 Note, and also provides instructions for installing modified (custom) solutions. Before performing any manipulations, you should study the instructions for the selected method from start to finish and prepare everything you need.

Method 1: Factory recovery

This official method of installing the system is the most preferable from a safety point of view. Using this method, you can update FlymeOS, as well as roll back to earlier versions. In addition, the method may be an effective solution if the device does not boot into Android.

In the example below, FlymeOS 5.1.6.0G version is installed on a device with FlymeOS 5.1.6.0A and a previously changed identifier.

1. Download the system software package. The archive used in the example is available for download at the following link:
2. Without renaming, copy the file update.zip to the root of the device’s internal memory.



3. We boot into recovery. To do this, with the Meizu M2 Note turned off, hold down the volume up button and, while holding it, press the power key. After vibration "Inclusion" let go, and "Volume+" hold until the screen appears as in the photo below.



4. If the update package was not copied to internal memory device before entering recovery, you can connect your smartphone, which is in recovery mode, to your PC with a USB cable and transfer the file with the system to the device’s memory without booting into Android. With this connection option, the smartphone is detected by the computer as removable drive "Recovery" with a capacity of 1.5 GB, into which you need to copy the package "update.zip"



5. Place a check mark on the item "Clear data" which involves data cleaning.

   

   If you are updating the version and using a package with the same type of firmware as the one already installed to install, cleaning may not be necessary, but in general, this operation is highly recommended.

6. Press the button "Start". This will begin the process of checking the software package, and then start the installation process.



7. Waiting for the installation to complete new version Fly, upon completion of which the smartphone will automatically reboot into the updated system. You just need to wait for the installed components to initialize.



8. All that remains is to carry out initial setup shell, if data was cleared,

   

Method 2: Built-in update installer

This method of installing system software in Meizu M2 Note is the simplest possible. In general, it can be recommended for updating the FlymeOS version on fully working smartphones.

When using this method, all data contained in the smartphone is saved, unless otherwise specified by the user before installing the update. In the example below, we install official firmware FlymeOS 6.1.0.0G on top of version 5.1.6.0G installed using the first method.

Method 3: Custom firmware

Technical characteristics of Meizu M2 Note allow third-party developers to create, and device owners to install and use very functional versions of system software, which are based on modern versions Android, including 7.1 Nougat. Using such solutions allows you to get the latest software without waiting for the developer to release an update to the official FlymeOS shell (it is likely that this will not happen at all, because the model in question is not the “freshest”).

Many modified versions have been released for Meizu M2 Note operating systems, based on the decisions of such well-known development teams as CyanogenMod, Lineage, MIUI Team, as well as ordinary enthusiastic users. All such solutions are installed in the same way and require the following steps for installation. Follow the instructions carefully!

Unlocking the bootloader

Before it becomes possible to install modified recovery and custom firmware in Meiza M2 Note, the device’s bootloader must be unlocked. It is assumed that before the procedure, FlymeOS 6 is installed on the device and root rights are obtained. If this is not the case, you should follow the steps of one of the system installation methods described above.

As a tool for unlocking the Meizu M2 Note bootloader, we use the almost universal flash tool for MTK devices SP FlashTool, as well as a set of specially prepared image files. We download the archive with everything you need from the link:

If you have no experience working with SP FlashTool, it is highly recommended that you familiarize yourself with the material describing the basic concepts and purposes of the procedures performed through the application.
