Hello All. There is such a problem, a solution which can be find only on this forum... I have bricked MX4 (M460 - Universal Model, Non International) Flyme Ed., when I tried to flash uboot.img from 4.5.5I, but my phone can work only with uboot.img from A firmware.
Now my phone can't boot, screen is always off, can't go in Recovery. No vibro and sound, real BRICK :cyclops:
Phone can connect to PC only with VOL DOWN + POWER. I tried to unbrick with method for Ubuntu Ed., but it was unsuccessfully... (http://forum.xda-developers.com/meizu-mx/general/meizu-mx4-how-to-flash-ubuntu-touch-t3210039)
In Device Manager my phone now recognize like "PreLoader USB VCOM Port". When i try to flash Ubuntu ROM, i have 5000 Error (BROM ERROR: S_AUTH_HANDLE_IS_NOT_READY). On fastboot commands does not respond.
In use now I have MX5 International, but I do not want to leave MX4 with nothing to do. Any ideas to rescue this Chinese scamp?

Phone haven't display working on now, don't know about bootloop. But when plug to PC with VOL DOWN- Key it connect in short time, dosen't look like bootloop. Drained? You mean unplugged? No it's not. Fully uncharged? No, before trying to flash, I charge phone from AC about 1 hr.
Can't turn it On

I was under FlyMe 5.6 and I flashed uboot the patched version... Basically I realized manipulation to unlock the bootloader but without downgrade to 4.8.2.
I do not know if we can consider that I have the bootloader unlock?

I have the same problem, i just flashed the preloaded_m75.bin form unzipped file (ubuntu touch). And then i booted it into preloader model, after that i tried to use sptool to flash ubuntu touch but failed. Got the same error code, it seems that we can't get the auth file from this rom. Anyone can suggest where can find the auth file?

- If give : XXXXXXXXXXXXX fastboot (the drivers are ok)
- Write on terminal: fastboot flash system (don't do "enter" but move the system.img on the terminal, now you can do enter)
(This process need more time 5-10 min you can see the % of transfer on phone)
- When system go, don't reboot the phone, write in the same terminal: fastboot flash boot (don't do "enter" but move the boot.img on the terminal, now you can do enter)

Any tuto for flyme to UTouch...?
Flyme 4.2.2.2A - Unlocked ( MX4 32GB )
sieload or update
Thanks for the tutorial.
Everything worked fine on EU MX4 Ubuntu ed, except for last step of sideloading supersu. Adbd does not recognize device.
I wonder if it is possible to rename supersu.zip to update.zip and then run it as an recovery update instead?

Thanks to @RusLion__ for finding it!
I packaged everything into a zip file so it's flashing would be noob-friendly. You can get the it from here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/k3d0hm34issmkz6/Flash_TWRP_Asus_Zenfone_2_Z00D.zip
DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible for bricking your phone. Follow these instructions at your own risk.
Edit: For anyone using ZenFone 2E (AT&T) model, you can try unlocking your bootloader using the method in this post (thanks, @saltii): http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/help/zenfone-2e-root-rom-t3174135/post64716579#post64716579
If it works, your splash screen will change as described in the instructions below.
Instructions:
1. Install drivers for your phone and ADB/fastboot (this might work: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48915118#post48915118)
2. Download and extract the zip from the link above
3. Unlock the bootloader using the official ASUS Unlock Tool: https://www.asus.com/Phone/ZenFone_2_ZE500CL/HelpDesk/ - you can find it in Driver & Tools > OS: Android > Utilities
If you unlocked it successfully, your splash screen will turn from black to white, like this: https://cdn-images.xda-developers.com/direct/3/4/6/3/6/0/0/zenfone_2_splash_screens.jpg
4. Turn off your phone and connect it to your PC via USB
5. Boot into bootloader (press and hold power+volume up buttons until the phone vibrates, and then release ONLY the power button while still holding the volume up button until you see the fastboot screen)
6. Go into the previously extracted folder and run the "FlashTWRP.bat" file
7. Then press volume down 2 times until "Reboot recovery" shows up and press power 1 time to boot into recovery
It works thanks

Hi, and thank you, I already had downloaded the BETA3 version from needROM.com but it seems this is updgraded
---------- Post added at 06:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:33 PM ----------
Just a question, I have to use the Flashtool to flash the firmware and after that the TWRP and Supersu options?
I've been using beta4 (and beta3 previously) for months and quite like them. Also, since the original factory rom is filled with adaware, isn't as up-to-date with Android's security patches and doesn't pass SafetyNet, you're gaining a lot and not losing anything switching or rooting for that matter.
Though I still prefer magisk over rooting since it's more secure and more than enough for adaway.

You can but you don't have to. I had a problem flashing beta4 and twrp at one go but booting the phone once with just beta4 and then powering off and flashing twrp and\or rooting afterwards solved that.
Btw, the dev is developing gesture modules for the kernel (built-in beta4) and an app to go with them: http://getbest.ru/kernel_gesture.htm I didn't find the feature useful enough to keep around but it works as advertised and, once again, magisk was enough.
Overall, the rom is an absolute must as far as I'm concerned and I wouldn't be using this phone if it wasn't available. It would have been nice if the dev could keepup with android's patches better but seeing how he's doing a better job than doogee and for free I can't really complain.
Do the camera and fingerprint work?
Hi. I wish to give my really thanks to the developer of this rom.
It solve my problems:
Stock rom R16:
sim card WIND (IT) poor 4G/LTE reception
sim card VODAFONE (IT) no 4G/LTE reception
(tested switching 1-2, various city zones)
This Rom:
both full 4G/LTE reception!!
M.A.
Hello Maria and thanks for your experience.
What can you say to me about the fingerprint and camera functionality?
Do they work fine on this rom?

I've tried with and without battery, I have installed Android USB driver, and I've followed this guide: https://androidmtk.com/flash-stock-rom-using-smart-phone-flash-tool
Please help!

Hello Maria and thanks for your experience.
What can you say to me about the fingerprint and camera functionality?
Do they work fine on this rom?

Hi.
My phone (X5pro) hasn't fingerprint reader.
The camera seems to work in normal way.
M.A.
P.S.: May be it depends by my phone, but sometimes touch is not reponsive; I have to push the power button ("stand-by") and push it again to have normal touch response.

The flash guide you linked is the right guide.
What exact model of phone you have?
Does the scatter and other files are in the same folder? (unzipped, you know).
Does the flashtool give any error message with the 32bit version?
Regards
M.A.
I tried both the 32bit and 64 bit versions of this rom, it's pretty good for a beta. However I had a problem with the screen going dark while using it and once the screen inverted colours randomly. Has anyone else had this problem with this rom? I'm currently using the android 6 stock rom but would love to get 7.1.1 working perfectly.
installed with SP flash tools x5pro-7.1-x32-BETA4 from a stock kernel 6.0 (R16)
with no luck. At booting snowcatPDA logo shows for a while and continuously reboots.
Flashed from ubuntu linux 16.04:
Download Only option (should I have choosen Firmware Upgrade?)
Scatter-loading File MT6735M_Android_scatter-WIPE-CLEAN_INSTALL.txt (should I have choosen MT6735M_Android_scatter.txt?)
I had the bootloader locked in development options (had it to be open?)
I also had USB debugging ON
Any tips?

Hi.
Now I'm at home.
Tomorrow morning, when I'll be at office I'll write down steps by steps I did.
(home... office..., reverse of natural manner, because I do all my mobile hobbies at lunch pause; at home PC is used by others )
Hello, here I am.
The follows are the steps, more or less, that I did.
(maybe you already did some of these)
1-Start from official R16 ROM
2- Developer option
#a. Enable USB debug#b. Enable OEM unlock
3- Security: allow unknown origin installation
4- Unlock bootloader
#a. Connect in fastboot, from ADB command mode:type: adb reboot-bootloader ___ (Wait 1-3 second)type: fastboot devices ___ (verify device is detected)#b. verify bootloader unlock statustype: fastboot getvar all ___ and you get= warranty: yes= unlocked: no#c. unlock bootloadertype: fastboot oem unlock ___ and you get-> start unlock flow---> on screen appear:vol UP=Yes; void warranty, clear ALL datavol DWN=no; no unlockPress Vol UP#d. verify bootloader unlock statustype: fastboot getvar all ___ and you get= warranty: no= unlocked: yes#e. May be phone restart
5- shut down phone ___ AND ___ get out battery
6- Flash phone with
MT6735M_Android_scatter-WIPE-CLEAN_INSTALL.txtas per normal way (You know this , after some trying...)
7- WITHOUT starting phone, ___ Flash TWRP with
MT6735M_TWRPx32_scatter.txt (or the 64, according to the ROM you flashed)
9- Put battery in ___ AND___ start in TWRP recovery
#a. hold Vol Up, press ON button until appear a micro menu, release buttons#b. choose recovery with Vol Up and confirm with Vol Down
10- in recovery, choose wipe, and on bottom of the screen slide for factory reset
11- on TWRP main, choose reboot, power off
12- get out battery for some seconds
13- get in battery and start up (It can take a lot, may be leave the phone connected to main)
This is what I did (if I remember all the single steps...)
Try and report to us.
M.A.
Nope!, in step 9 when trying to start in TWRP recovery I get a continuous bootloop showing SnowcatPDA logo

Hummmm....
It seems won't go in recovery mode, I think.
Try this:
1- flash entire stock ROM
(may be take this ===http://www.doogee.cc/bbs/viewtopic.php?t=29=== just in case)
2- start phone normal, up to home screen (so the phone is as just brougt)
3- power off and try to enter stock Recovery
If it works (and your bootloader is unloked) then try this
Connect phone to PC in fastboot
and enter
fastboot devices (I do this each time, just in case PC don't detect phone)
fastboot boot recovery.img
where recovery.img is your TWRP
The phone should start in TWRP recovery
The fastboot boot recovery.img command
send recovery (kernel?) image to temp phone folder/ram
and boot from that.
It unaffect normal rom/recovery.
By this step, we check If your phone accept this TWRP and sort out some possible troubles.
M.A.
when doing 'fastboot boot TWRP-3.1.1-X5PROx32.img' I get:
USB transferring...
USB transmission OK
and doesn't reboot into recovery but it boots normally
since I'm doing this from stock kernel R16 I wonder whether it's 32 or 64 bits
However I've found recovery-twrp-3.2.0-git-20171204.img that boots!. But I don't have scatter file, only .img! This recovery is from Lineage 14.1, but since this custom ROM installs from TWRP there is no need of scatter file
I've found another TWRP that boots with fastboot boot img: the TWRP recovery for 6.0 in needrom. This one has a scatter file

Hi.
You have to select the file direct from the Needrom site.
www.needrom.com
(up)categories-doogee
on the right, click: Serial X
again, on the right, click: X5pro
and select the TWRP you desire.
(second line, second from left)
(click on "TWRP DG X5Pro (977 dls)")
Regards
M.A.
P.S.: even the link is
https://www.needrom.com/server/download.php?name=/2016/12/TWRP_DG_X5Pro.rar
you have to download from the site.
I'll try all this at the weekend, but my two cents are that it won't work. At first attempt I flashed BETA4 with MT6735M_Android_scatter-WIPE-CLEAN_INSTALL.txt (so no need to enter recovery and wipe cache/Dalvik) with a bootloop result.
My guess is that there are different ROM versions of X5 pro, and newest are incompatible with SnowcatPDA 7.1.1 firmware. Will see in a few days...
As I was suspecting I get a bootloop after logo. Now the question is: Is there a stable custom ROM (7.1 or newer) that I could use daily instead of MM 6.0 (R16) stock ROM?
Ported by Danct12 his Discord: https://discord.gg/SXcJqK and Asriel
This is not my work I only compiled it
IMPORTANT: THIS BUILD IS OUTDATED Developer of this rom officially released it: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/3682/xiaomi-redmi-4x-santoni
Instalation
Just flash zip file in TWRP
You don't have to wipe anything
Note: installation won't format /data , /system , /vendor partition. So you won't lose data but make backup anyway.
What's not working
Bluetooth
Screen rotation
Sound
USB MTP
Probably USB HDMI desktop mode (not tested)
etc
Password and username
Default username is: phablet
Default password is: toor
(password can be chanched with sudo passwd phablet command)
Dual boot (this is not officially supported method, I found it myself)
(Sometimes this doesn't work reinstalling Android should fix it)
Make a backup of boot partition in recovery before installing Ubuntu Touch
Then flash Ubuntu Touch zip file
To boot Android restore boot partition backup from recovery
To get back to Ubuntu Touch flash boot.img as boot partition (scroll down for download)
APT-GET fix
To get apt package manager working you need to make root of Ubuntu Touch writable
Type these commands to terminal:
sudo mount -o remount,rw /
sudo touch /userdata/.writable_image
SSH
To SSH into Ubuntu Touch connect phone to PC.
IP of the device is 10.15.19.82
Type ssh [email protected] in terminal default password is toor
Sound and Bluetooth fix
Follow APT-GET instructions upper in this post.
Open terminal app and type sudo apt upgrade

Hi
what are your first impressions with UB Ports ?
Even if it's not stable for moment...
Well, stuck on boot logo...
Flashed above Miui 10 stable.
edit 2 working for me, only after full wipe and clean flash.
Looks nice, I didn't try a lot of time, but I like interface. I'll wait anbox working good to flash rom again.
edit 3 : dual boot works with lineage OS ! Great !
Do you plan to update compilations ?
Some screenshots please

Install the ROM you want… The one you were using before replacing it with this one, I presume.

Recovery is volume up and down at some time. Are you sure you choosed boot partition when flashing boot.img . You can try flash recovery and the boot.img with fastboot. If nothing helps try flashing stock room with miflash.
Hi,
It is not written specifically in the installation instructions, do I have to install also boot.img after flashing the ununtu touch zip? (I thought I have seen something about boot.img during flash of the zip)
I had RevengeOS 10.0 custom ROM installed, then in TWRP I have just flashed UnuntuTouch zip, then rebooted and was also stuck at the Mi screen without anything happening.
The phone does not boot into recovery just by pressing power+volume up, I used "fastboot boot recovery.img" and I reflashed RevengeOS - but power+volume up+volume down boots into TWRP.
Thank you

So you flashed both zip and img and still no luck? Have you resolved the problem, does at least your previous ROM work?
Maybe this is not compatible with all of the custom ROMs... in previos posts it seems clean flash helps - I will try official Lineage OS, with flashing both Ununtu zip and boot.img.
Thank you

Hi, I did exactly that:
1) I have TWRP 3.3.1-0 and latest Lineage OS 16 installed
2) I flash Ubuntu zip without wiping anything - I am stuch at the initial MI logo
3) I tried to flash boot.img on top of that - still no luch, stuck at the initial MI logo
I have backup of Lineage OS, so no problem (just need to carefully press volume up+volume down+power to get to recovery)
but I would like to find out what is the proble and try Ubuntu...
Thank you
Maybe you could try another recovery ? Like Orangefox ?
