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
Hi everyone,I managed to succesfully install it with the given steps above. Thanks a lot. But, I want to switch to "A(Chinese)" from "Global" software again. I tried the methods i already knew but i get the error "too old". What should i do? Is there anyone tried both softwares and can help me out?I want to go back to A(Chinese) version of the software from Global version. How can i do that? Please help.:crying::crying:

Hi everyone and Shakh28,

I can use a scatter file too..
Because my phone in stucked in the bootloop and I can't update the firmware.
I got the annoying message "too old version".

Otherwise there is a scatter file in the firmware, but it is not compatible with SP FLASH TOOLS.
(Maybe with some modifications that can work.).

Shakh28 did you find a working driver for your phone ? The latest VCOM for MTK67XX is not working for me.

For those who can help you can use MTK Droid Tool for create a scatter file.
(but you need to find a working driver).

Hi bro! Hope ur fine)
Unfortunately until now there is no mtk tool, that can get scatter file from working pro 7 plus cuz MTKT don't works with 64 bit platforms (Pro 7+ is on 64-bit). That's why i've sent my phone to China to the service center. One month I tried to fix this. But no success... I'm from Uzbekistan and here we don't have service center =(. Scatter file for SPFT can be extracted only with mtktool i guess (sorry for English)

Pro 7-H

Apparently the Pro 7-H (128GB X30 model) is having some issues with the global firmware.

Mine came with an old (6.0.0.1A or something) ROM, no OTA updates. Decided to grab the latest ROM from the Flyme website and update. This failed instantly. After some ROM's, found that the ROM's from the Chinese Flyme site actually did flash to the phone but the Chinese site does make a clear distinction between the Pro 7 and the Pro 7-H. The global Flyme sites only seem to know the 64G P25 model. With what Google Translate enabled me to do, I got the phone running with the latest beta. A few posts back I saw that this can be used to sort of recreate the global ROM functionality, but simply put I don't think that any global firmware exists for the Pro 7-H (yet?). Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

One thing I managed to do to "fix" the boot loop was actually put the SIM-card in. But since only Chinese "A" ROM's even flash, this doesn't exactly help
@Lifeforce: Thanks. I had figured out as much, but hopefully the Pro 7-H will see a global release as well. For now the phone works good enough to replace my Lumia 950 and as a Windows 10 Mobile user, basically everything right now can be considered an upgrade XD
@Lifeforce: Thats's great to hear! Patience is no problem, the phone is worth it :)

Hi!
I've got the solution, have some patience.
The Pro 7-H for the time being only for Chinese market.

sorry for bad English
@Mahatma_Dude: I build the international firmware, I've testing for two days, it's okay so far
@Mahatma_Dude: The firmware is ready, the update process is a bit complicated, I'm trying to simplify it.
And yes, phone is worth it!
Very fast, comfortable to use, and stable!

Hallo Lifeforce!
At first thanks for your work!
I have tried to flash with your "batch file" everything work fine. But after restart the build number is "a" again. Is this correct, that there is no "g build nr".
Is this only a misstake or is it right?
thanks for feedback!
best regards
peter

Hello!
The firmware build number does not depend on what it contains, but what I'm write to build.prop.
No mistake, I just leave the build.prop file in its original state.
Fortunately, it's easy to develop the device, if it would be spare time, then I would build it twrp

FINALLY I've found a method!!! It works for 7 Pro H. (Chinese version on a Helio X30, 128 GB)
1. Go to needrom.com/download/meizu-pro-7-h-no-pro-4gb-128gb-helio-x30-custom-international-firmware/
Register, and download .zip file from above
2. Unpack on a desktop
3. Connect your 7Pro H as a CD-rom, - adb drivers should be installed automatically.
4. Run adb.exe, restart a computer
5. Create a txt file (right mouse click) with only a line - 0x2a45. Save as adb_usb.ini Copy this file to C:\Users\USER NAME\.android
6. Activate a Developer mode on your phone by tapping several times on a “Firmware version” in “About a phone” menu.
7. In a “Dev. Mode” turn on “USB debugging”
8. Connect a phone as a MTP
9. Run “Start.cmd” from a folder on a destop (step 2)
10. When appears “Connect via ADB, please arouse your phone and allow the connection in the popup window…” - confirm an access on a phone screen
11. In a window of Start.cmd
a. Press 1 to perform a full backup
or
b. Press 2 to flash
12. There is no progress bar, so just be patient.
13. It takes about 10-12min.
14. After you receiving 2 messages about flashing 2 files (of 500 and 2500 MB) press any key.
Phone will boot into recovery, press CANCEL

Wipe or not data – it’s up to you. I’ve flashed over Chinese beta 6.7.12.12 with no wipes – everything (apps) works fine.

ROOT access is also remains from a previous fw.

Done. Enjoy!

NB. There is no Flyme account and no OTA as well. If you need root - root your current fw, then flash as above with no wipes.

Firmware works perfect!

What is the result of the change? Did i have then real the "g-rom" on my phone?
What do you mean when you write "connect as cd-rom"?

Hi Peter
A Global multilanguage firmware as a result. At least for Russian language it works for 100%
Connect as a CD-ROM - one of the options (among MTP, Charging etc.) on a screen of your phone when connecting with a PC.

NB: mentioned steps are works for Pro 7 High Edition (China, 128 GB) - no any guarantees for a standard Pro 7

Hello Citymax!
I have tried it, but i can connect a flyme account but no "Update" and i have the buildnumber Flyme 6.2.0.1A.
So no "g-rom".
Is it at your phone different?
Best regards

Hi, I bought a pro 7 from aliexpress. It came with 6.1.3.0G Installed but with no OTA. Lots of apps wont work as its telling me the device is rooted. I myself did not root it so it came from the shop like that. I cant remove this rom. I cant find oem in developers options and i cant unlock the bootloader. Any suggestions?
