Hello.

Not via the built-in settings since Meizu has disabled the root feature (although you might still see it)

I am not going to try, but if you wanna risk it, you can try Kingoroot (beware, contains maleware)

Besides root, I would love a twrp version for the 16th.

So, appears that I've bought meizu right in time, when rooting is all pain again! lol hell, I was hoping that this time I won't need to scratch my brain untill it bleeds haha

No news meantime? Need to wait for someone to solve that rooting 16th stuff?

I'm waiting for root also.
I have asked meizu seller on AliExpress but so far they didn't respond to it

I'm sorry but they are the most unlikely people to help you out with this.
You will have to wait for either a twrp or a release of the root option restriction in an upcoming flymeOS update.

Since both options are rather unlikely to happen soon, you might be stuck with unrooted stock for a while. Sorry.

I've heard that there are succesfull tests of unlocking and flashing twrp done already! They aren't letting it go public yet tho.

Yeah, I'm waiting for using tweaks too. I've read about it at 4pda.ru but nothing certain besides someone varified there is a tested way but it will take time till it goes public.
I believe you can just check on here, it will pop up eventually since xda is the biggest android dev solutions pool as far as I know.

If I'll read anything new at 4pda, I'll post it here.

Also watching 4pda.ru for news.

Flashed Chinese firmware, applied for root through painfull online application and waiting for root authorization code.

Phone runs great, chinese firmware is ok, everything is in english and completely usable.

Hm, may be I should switch to cn version also But I don't have that many bugs, only common. Thanks for the idea anyway! Somewhy didn';t think of that.

Successfully rooted. Chinese firmware. Titanium backup working.

Will post a complete tutorial and share links.

Few more posts - newbie account.

Found a little tweak for mback.

Installed gravitybox for oreo in xposed.

In navigation keys actions enabled double tap action to home for all keys ( menu, home, back, recents). Will explore more which one is responsible...

Now when i double tap mback it goes to home.

Reason, sometimes its hard to press mback to go home when you are holding phone with one hand. And when surfing in browser it goes back and you lose current page..

Anyone with russian language knowledge.

There are flymetools for flyme 7 on 4pda ru. Cant register and download because of russian captcha.

Flymetools is and xposed module for tweaking flymeos.

PM me the link, I'll get it for you.

PS I'm using gesture system, it's pretty ok to me so far.
PPS chinese version runs ok? No special bugs and all? Wonder if there will be a way to add more languages, never used flyme before... Not sure I want to keep using english all the time.

 

[fatjoez]

Thanks everyone. can you please PM me guide for chinese firmware.
The russians use Global firmware right? If they have root maybe we can get it soon on global firmware rooted

Hi.
Exploring combination of mback and xposed egde gestures. So far so god.
Chinese version runs ok. I have frozen few chinese apps i really do not need and the rest is ok. In chinese firmware there are only english and chinese system language - so you know.

Not sure about RU firmware root. I would say no because members of 4pda ru are aslo switching to chinese firmware to get root...

Quick chinese firmware flash tutorial:

Go to flyme cn. Find firmware for meizu 16th . Download latest A version.
Site is slow but downloading update was ok.
Copy update.zip and copy to your phone.
Shut down.
Power on + Volume up.
You will boot into stock recovery.
Update and clear data.
Wait 5 minutes.
Done.

Root is another story. PM google translate link.

Please could we have the step by step procedure?
Why do we need to install the Chinese firmware - why does it not work with the global version?
Could we please also list the bugs people are observing (ideally needs a separate thread)

I think this is my 10th post. Now i can? post links. Will write a complete tutorial in english with links.

Meizu made it only possible for chinese firmware to have root so far. Period.

My only bug so far is that camera sometimes shows a message that by turning on wifi scaning something something... i always click cancel, didnt have time to explore yet.

Yes a separate thread and section would be nice. You can vote, comment, make a request somewhere on the forum...


Test, can i share links and images... Google play with chinese A firmware.

Yes i can...

OK, is there a way to backup my Global Rom before I install the chinese firmware ?

link to chinese firmware - v7.1.1.2A

link to manual firmware upgrade. Could someome please detail this in English?

My 16th is on its way, but those could who already have the global version confirm if they have the current ROM (Flyme 7.1.1.0G) as listed here?
