Hi! Now that Meizu MX4 started selling with Ubuntu Touch, is there any documentation or any other resource about switching from an installed Android to Ubuntu Touch on Meizu MX4?
I think it will not be possible , knowing strategy of meizu. you will have to buy ubuntu meizu mx4 if you want ubuntu
I really want to try Ubuntu in MX4... Please Meizu!!
Source code of meizu mx4 (m75) ubuntu. https://github.com/meizuosc/m75
Good news!! People can install Flyme on ubuntu version (like a dual bot, can change the os)
Really?? Do you know how to do it?

I have no certainty . But if my brother can go from ubuntu to Flyme I think we can do the same from the international version of the phone .
You cant put ubuntu on flyme meizu mx4. It is only for ubuntu mx4. If you have ubuntu mx4 you can put flyme, and not vice versa
But so we can put flyme on ubuntu mx4 isn't logic we can't go from flyme to ubuntu.

The phone aren't loked like normal MX4. More then 1 user in the Meizu Forum write a method for install FLyme on Ubuntu Edition, just check and watch the photos (the imei is the same)
MX4 Ubuntu to Flyme 4.1.1A
The method mentioned https:// lists.launchpad.net/ubuntu-phone/msg13848.html works, but as referred, for the moment, you can't upgrade from Flyme 4.1.1A.
I've tested with a EU phone (made in china, shipped from Italy).
- 1.st activate adb in Ubuntu Phone (System Settings, About this Phone, Developer Mode)
If linux adb desktop also add "x2a45" to .android/adb_usb.ini
- Download adb.zip referred in the chinese URL, recovery.img is inside
- After Flyme rom installed.... recovery will be back to Flyme recovery
"you can't upgrade from Flyme 4.1.1A.!"
I care they have different MBR
I have an MX4 Ubuntu Edition, and noticed that there is an Android folder.
what does it mean? can we have dual boot?
I also have the international version, can I install ubuntu?

Hey!
I went through almost every firmware of Flyme MX4, and the only working version was as "ruilapa" mentioned Flyme 4.1.1A. But, I didn't give up and keep trying until I got Flyme 4.0.4A working perfectly with my MX4 Ubuntu M461 phone, and most importantly that I got an OTA upgrade to 4.2.8.2A :good:
So now, I am running Flyme OS 4.2.8.2A Android 4.4.2 on my MX4 Ubuntu Edition

Could you please share a detailed instruction how-to flash Flyme on MX4 M461. Where did you find Flyme 4.0.4A? Was the Flyme 4.0.4A working really perfectly, as the guy from launchpad had some issue with colors: lists.launchpad.net/ubuntu-phone/msg14056.html
Thank you in advance!

I have followed the instructors in this link lists.launchpad.net/ubuntu-phone/msg13848. html , and got the recovery.img of Flyme from the internet.
I also had a look at that guy in the link that you mentioned, but for me, Flyme 4.0.4I didn't work for me, but Flyme 4.0.4A worked instead.
Got the 4.0.4A from the following link
meizufans.eu/forum/topic/751/flyme-os-4-0-4-stable
Will provide some screenshots of my phone later when I arrive home.
Hello
Can install ubuntu touch on meizu pro 6 ?
BOOMP .... !!!!
There's no official build... Guess only option is port/built it yourself, or wait for someone to do it
Hey, I foolishly bought an meizu mx4 pro, thinking there wouldn't be any real difference to the mx4 and that I could flash ubuntu on it.
Well shame on me, what are my options now, I mean besides flyme and android?
Because the omnirom project appears to be dead, as does the cyanogenmod version for this model.
Is there any good alternative, that runs smooth, with decent app-compatibility and without 4 GB's of spy- and adware?
Or should I just resell the thing?
Thanks in advance.
How can I do dual boot on Redmi Note 7 with Ubuntu Touch?
I saw different answers for that, but they are all for another phones.
