SOLVED:
Hi,
I just bricked my MX4 after trying to update system image from 4.5.6 to 4.5.7 using this guide:
Extract I version update.zip
use sdat2img to create system image
dd system image to system partition on live phone and reboot.
I used the same procedure successfully before, x-updating 4.5.4A ti I then updating to 4.5.6I.
After updating to 4.5.7, the phone goes into an infinite loop of Meizu splash screen, Flyme balloon, reboot.
I can enter fastboot and official recovery, but can't flash any partition from fastboot.
The bootloader is still locked.
Does anyone have any advice for unbricking?
Update:
The bootloop suddenly froze up for long enough for me to use adb to push an update.zip to the "sdcard" root. Have now flashed 4.2.8A from recovery and booted the phone.
As I had to clear all data I will unlock bootloader before trying anything else.
Try do flash 4.2.8.2 with uboot.img modded (to reunlock bootloader) and reboot fastboot and tell me

Hi,
I managed to push 4.2.8.2 to sdcard then do a normal recovery reflash.
Have now successfully unlocked using the .apk method.
Now I need to find out if I can use that unlocked bootloader to flash recent "I" firmwares, or if I can only flash the unfinished cyanogen (would like to wait 'til that's a bit more polished before using it.
Anyway. Happy to have my phone back!
Maybe that newest 4.5.7I need a new kernel so you'll need to update to 4.5.7A before flashing system.img or you can flash directly 4.5.7I but you'll need to use fastboot flash boot boot.img
If a rom/firmware needs a specific kernel it'll bootloop if you don't flash it
Can I flash 4.5.7 I now that I have unlocked bootloader and custom recovery? If I understand the unlock threads correctly, I think I will relock the bootloader, or even brick if I try to flash the complete update.zip. Can I flash system and boot partitions using fastboot?
Fully BRICKED.
Now I FULLY bricked it (no more recovery).
Had successfully upgraded to 4.5.7 "I" and was installing super su for full root, before disabling update, but had forgotten that I still had official 4.2.8 rom as update.zip on "sdcard" root.
rebooted to TWRP recovery for full su install and recovery found the update.zip and flashed it.
Result: Bootloop, No recovery, locked fastboot, no possibility to flash anything.
Aaargh!
Where do I find a 4.2.8 recovery.img for this phone?
Maybe there's a possibility doing a fastboot boot recovery.img ???
NOPE:
[email protected]:/home/marius/Downloads# fastboot boot recovery.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.662s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
Fixed with large hammer! Goodbye Meizu!

fastboot boot recovery.img isn't a command at all... It's fastboot flash recovery C:/path/to/recovery.img

Mine says failed every time I flash anything by fastboot, even stock firmware... Even though is says failed it should work. After you flash twrp switch it to reboot directly to recovery. Twrp should come up
Hello I have managed to brick my P9 lite with the nougat rom. I can only access bootloader, the phone is both oem and bootloader unlocked and currently it's on bootloop. I have tried the upgrade with 3 buttons pushed but I can't get the phone to accept the package(put in the dload folder on SDcard) it only shows 'install failed - Incompatibility with current version please download the correct package'. I have also tried the fastboot flash system command it went without errors but the only result is that it no longer bootloops and only shows black screen after the warning that I have unlocked bootloader. So is there anything else I should try? Thanks.
Fastboot??

I don't understand what you mean. Could you give me some commands to use? If I flash recovery with fastboot I can't get into the recovery (nougat rom) and if I flash system with fastboot flash system I only see black screen and nothing boots up.
fastboot flash zip gives me FAILED command not allowed.
@zgomot
Well, either I'm really dumb or doing it wrong but once I flash the meticulus recovery with fastboot flash recovery recovery.img nothing really changes and I can't get into the recovery.
To flashing oem info I get FAILED (remote: command not allowed). I will post it here but I doubt it will be of any help.
IMAGE
edit: I really don't know how but I'm in the recovery so I think I will manage to flash the stock image from there and make it work. I will once I resolve the problem or brick it once more Thank you for the link.
This is my first time trying to root my android.
I have successfully unlocked oem but can't seem to flash twrp.
I have downloaded twrp 3.2.1 on my desktop and renamed it to "recovery".
Entered fastboot on phone, used the command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" but it just says "error: cannot open 'recovery.img' "
Can anyone please tell me how to get twrp installed?
