Meizu Pro 7 from A firmware (chinese) to G (Global) method

[DiogoSepultura]

hello friends today i will share a method that i found on youtube how to switch from chinese to global firmware on Meizu Pro 7

all the credits are for Uncle MokuS

i just wanted to help people that is searching for it like me

so just follow the totorial - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDp...5wdjofattwgksn3zi1jpw03c010c.1508299039136556
the totorial is in russian so if you have any doubt just read the coments in video discription

that method is different that the one that i use in my old mx5 by terminal emulator... i really would prefer the terminal emulator method because just change the phone and you can install any G firmware by flyme recovery and keep with ota updates and without the phone rooted (i dont want root because i use some apps that doesnt allow me use if i have root) but i didnt find a diferent mode yet i hope some one could show a diferent method like i did to mx5

everything works because its original firmware the only thing is that to next updates you´ll have to do by flashfire
anyway i hope you all enjoy G firmware

Hi, thanks for the good news.

Does anyone know whether this method also works with the Meizu Pro 7 PLUS?

 

[DiogoSepultura]

The people in comments say that its not working

You can find an english Guide for the installation of the Global ROM on the chinese Meizu Pro 7 here:

Lost imei

I have lost my imei numbers and they become null.
Also i have lost root access after intalling the update.zip from flymeos.com. Because i cant login into meizu account after installing the update.zip,
it says ''invalid parameter ''.
Phone has locked bootlader. Cant flash anything..
Any suggestions ?

I've got this one working for Pro 7 Plus, model M793Q:

1. Download Flyme 6.7.10.31 beta rom from official chinese Flyme site and put it to your phone's main folder
2. Enter Recovery mode (Volume Up + Power), select "Update firmware" and "Wipe data", then wait until the update is done
3. Download Flyme 6.1.2.0G rom from official site and also put it to your phone just like the chinese rom
4. Enter Recovery mode again and do the same things - select "Update firmware" and "Wipe data", then wait until the update is done

Thanks for your Method..It is working great on Meizu Pro 7 PLUS Model: M793H to :good:

Just one thing you still have ota updates right?

im trying in my pro 7 (standard) and when i try to install the G firmware in recovery i got the message firmware corrupt do the people with pro 7 plus is lucky

its not working in the standard version i give up xD

 

[TedGok]

1. I have still my ota updates on Meizu pro 7 plus with the global version that i recently update from A chinese firmware to beta chinese then to Global version.

2. You need to have the Chinese Beta version first on your phone to update to Global version.

3. You can download the chinese flyme firmware beta version from Meizufans. Search Meizufans on the Google.

4. Allways backup your Imei number so you can restore it. That is only if the Imei NR gets NULL.Best place to have your backup is PC.

5. Download the global version from the flymeos.com

6. It should work on the standard version because it has the beta version too.

Good Luck :good:

lets see...

so i download the firmwares from flyme websites (they are the same that we have in meizu fans) so i installed flyme 6.7.10.31 beta
after that i went to recovery and put the G firmware inside the phone main folder, the only G firmware version that pro7 standard has is 6.1.3.0
and in recovery i try to update and always say that the firmware is corrupt

Try to do this:

1. Get Root permissions in settings and download Root Explorer
2. Put Global rom into your main folder
3. Start Root Explorer, grant root permissions to him and go to /dev/block/platform/bootdevice/by-name
4. Open devinfo as text file and change it from 0x79101001 to 0x79151001, then save it
5. Open the standard Flyme explorer, click on your global rom and agree with wipe

I can't guarantee that it will work but if it won't nothing bad will happen - the phone will just reboot

In that case change it to 0x79251001, "5" means european device
Do you have Pro 7 HE or something? I thought there are only 2 IDs:
PRO 7 Plus 0x79351001
PRO 7 0x79151001

pmartin did you tried this already? let us know what happend

pmartin did you tried this already? let us know what happend

I've already tried it on my Plus device and nothing happened
The problem is that the developer has made a protection against changing ID - there are several scripts named loop, so if you change ID in devinfo and reboot they will roll back the changes.
Also I've searched for previous scripts that were working on old meizu devices, there are several ways of doing that:
1. Rewrite devinfo by using unix commands - as I understood the program finds a sector where the ID is based and replaces it. The problem is that you need to know an exact binary address for the ID but I don't know how to disassemble .img files :<
2. Get devinfo straight from the same EU device and replace it - it's easier but I don't have an EU file (If someone has it please contact me)
3. Use flash tool to write the ID directly in chipset - the most dangerous way but I can't find binary files for Helio X30, and also you need to know an adress of ID

So the easiest and the most safe way is method 2, because even if something will go wrong you can just reinstall rom from recovery mode, but if someone here knows unix\assembler he can try to locate the ID, I have extracted devinfo file (it's still has chinese ID but I believe we can find a way out)

Hi
I just tried the devinfo method with no success, as stated before, it rolls back to it original stage, I even change the permissions of devinfo file with read and exwcute only, but the permissions Also rolls back
I purchased a meizu pro 7, spanish model(global model) And I will probably Return it since I purchased Also one meizu pro 7 plus, but if you want, I can accept it a few days in order to get the files needed from the European model.

Thanks!
