Enable root
 Enable root by tapping on Settings-> Accounts-> My Flyme-> Personal settings (first
option) -> System privileges and set it to open - accept disclaimer and confirm.
2. Download and successfully install Busybox (from Google Play or see .apk
below)
3. Download and install a Terminal Emulator (from Google Play or see apk
below)
4. Download the correct and desired international (i) ROM/firmware
(update.zip) for your device
 from http://www.flyme.cn/en/firmware.html (CN)
 or from: https://***/firmwares (EU)
 or from: http://www.flymeos.com/firmware.html (IN)
Note: I (international) = G (global) from now on.
5. Download and use the update.zip (firmware) converter that creates the
required system-i.img
 Click here to download converter first
 Copy system.new.dat and system.transfer.list (from the update.zip) to the folder “in”
(see converter folder)
 Then start the converting process by starting System-conVERTER.cmd and pressing
option 1 [enter]
 If successfully converted you can find the system-i.img in the ‘‘out’’ folder.
6. Copy the converted system-img from ‘‘out’’ to the internal memory of your
Meizu device
7. Go to Settings-> Display-> Sleep (locking)-and set it to at least after 10
minutes.
8. Start the Terminal Emulator and run (type) the super user command
su
 A permission popup will come; give permission by tapping allow (always allow).
9. Now run (type) the command for installing the system-img.
dd if=/sdcard/system.img of=/dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/by-name/system
 Replace XXXXXXX with the correct partition system for your device
MX4 Pro = 15540000.dwmmc0
M2 note = mtk-msdc.0
MX4 = mtk-msdc.0 (OR mmcblk0p6)
MX5 = mtk-msdc.0 (OR mmcblk0p18)
Pro 5 = 15570000.ufs
Example for M2 note : dd if=/sdcard/system.img of=/dev/block/platform/mtk-
msdc.0/by-name/system
Note: Pro5 might require: dd if=/storage/emulated/0/system.img instead of
/sdcard/
10. The installation should start after the ‘‘dd if’’ command, but please note…
 …it may seem that the copying/process did NOT start because you didn’t notice it,
but it DID start.
 do NOT type a new command or whatsoever, just…
 …be patient and give your device 5-10 minutes to process.
11. When the process is done you’ll see a # at the very end
 Your device should be unresponsive by now - this is normal
12. Now just shutdown your phone (hold power button) and reboot it
13. Once successfully booted your device should be running an I-rom
 Once in Flyme again it is wise - but not necessary - to completely reset your phone.
Go to settings->about phone->memory->factory data reset-> check both boxes and
click start cleaning (this could take 5-10minutes). Always backup your stuff if
necessary.
END OF METHOD 2If you follow the exact steps, you will succeed to update !!
Good luck.
