For BBS dump and screenshot check the attachments.

bbpdump is fake
bbs dump site is fake, they don't have any update for exam., no response in the chat, please don't waste your money and choose wisely.

I could not find Google Playstore. How do you go with it?
My Meizu MX3's model number is M353. Is it HK version?(international?).
I like the hardware and looks of its OS, but is there anywhere I could get some information about the OS?
Have you done rooting? If yes, can you tell me how to root? (I need some root applications, but will not flash kernel nor roms)
Sorry for too may questions.
actually i don't have it yet, I should receive it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow
and I asked the seller if it comes with all the google services and the play store and he answered me yes, he also told me that the phone doesn't come root. it's the hong kong version btw.
so maybe ibuygou doesn't have the same version, but it's weird you don't have play store and stuffs.

meizu support rooting directly in their OS. you can easily root by one click.
for the rooting,
in your MX3 setting, in "accounts" of setting menu, you can see "more" below "flyme synce" and "account balance". click "more" menu. meizu MX3 will request you to make flyme account for rooting and restore. make it. after rebooting,you can click "open system privilege" option below "receive method" menu. after accepting and agreeing the terms, it be just rooted. you can use rooting MX3. for restore, you need to update flyme OS with update and clear data. of you update OS, it will be unrooted.
for the usage of google play store, you don't need to root your device. in the google web, input "google play apk". download "google play apk", and excute it. in your MX3, google play store will apear. just use it. it's all.
Hello guys I placed the order for the mx3 32gb HK version at meizumxon website. Do you think it is a reliable seller ?
HK version should be the m353 model. Which is the latest flyme os is available for this model ?

I ordered mine off Amazon. So far so good. Running on TMO. Love the size the screen and the minimal interface. Had to delete several chinese apps. I also had to download Google Play in order to get my apps. Call quality and texting is good. I havent updated to the latest FLYME as i am stil on 3.1.4 i believe. Overall very satisfied that I branched out and tried a different phone.
Amazon,Ebay,meizumart,meizu-shop.

If your phone really has a Mediatek processor then it is a fake. But as already mentioned, not all programs correctly identify the chip. You should confirm the finding with another program and preferably provide us with a lot more details about your phone so that we have more confidence in the verdict.
Photos of the phone and any literature? In particular the top exterior, the label under the battery (you may wish to obscure part of the IMEI number) and a screen shot of at least the Settings menu > General > About Device. Particularly helpful would be installing the Phone Info app and tell us the results.

I'm also wondering the same thing. Running CPU-Z returns MediaTek MT6592, 8x ARM Cortex-A7 @ 1.66 GHz.
I've looked at some other videos and discussions online on how to tell a fake one apart, but for the most part it looks real, has waterproofing seals, a 16MP camera, heart rate monitor (though i have my doubts as to its results), etc. The Android version is 4.4.2. The fingerprint scanner doesn't seem legit, though, as i don't really need to slide my finger over the home button and any finger will unlock it. All in all i'm not really bummed as it was a third of the price of the other S5's listed online and still is much better than my previous phone. Really i just wish i could find a way to root it... I actually never really considered that it might be fake, though i was a little curious after reading about some of the things here:
ibtimes.co.uk/samsung-galaxy-s5-10-amazing-hidden-features-you-never-knew-about-1445367
...notably the touch sensitivity, which i don't have as a setting.
The battery life is also really weird, when opening certain apps (QQ, Anki) the battery life rapidly falls (completely gone within a couple hours) and i've got to restart the phone for it to stabilize again. I can watch movies or listen to music for what seems like days, though.
Try connecting via usb the phone to the PC and opening Kies 3
Hey, thanks for the reply. I just managed to root it using the tutorial here (though CWM is upside down??):
youtube.com/watch?v=s66e-kwvKUU
Also, KIES 3 doesn't detect it, should i take that as a good sign it's a fake?
I think it's fake
Does the fingerprint sensor work? If not then it's absolutely fake.
Next is how much was the selling price? Too cheap means probably fake.
Now about the processor, the second you see anything other than qcomm or exynos, it's already fake.

Yep, it says that it can only be used with Samsung phones. I guess that settles it.

Here is pictures showing proof of root and recovery
Found root w/o pc
Took the the plunge and tried framaroot,towelroot, then tried Kingroot version 3.5.0.
Its in Chinese so what I did was just hit the green button till it showed a check mark then a blue bar popped up then I hit that then restarted my watch.
Then I saw an app called kinguser so I installed root explorer.
In addition to deleting apps from the system/app using root explorer you have to start in
R/O then delete any app you want , It will ask you if you want to change to r/w and delete say "yes"obviously :good:
Battery removal
The battery is removal, which is good, it would be good if spare batteries were available, I'll let you know if I come across any.
Here's a good video (long vid) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQR6lQR1EbM
WHERE TO BUY? guys (& girls) if you find a good seller, please share the details, as more people buy this watch, we get more support and hacks
I don't about the cheapest** site to buy, but DX.com seems like a safe place to buy and not too expensive, they accepts returns if a fault occurs.
** On AliExpress most sellers are selling clones as iMacwear M7, they are not iMacwear, be aware! However one can argue they are all clones, if you look in DX and GearBest they have similar ones, some are described as 1.3 Ghz, but these sites are not to be trusted.
Recovery?
Has anyone tried to put truesmart twrp 2.8.6.0 on their imacwear m7 using twrp manager?
iMacwear clone comparison
I know this thread is for the iMacwear, but just wanted to make sure people make an informed decision before buying. I found some interesting comparison with other clones on this thread from Jan 2015.
Also there are other clones which people have purchased:
Z01 which is 1.3 GHz, faster clock speed, and Android 4.2. $122 at the moment from DealsMachine. Z01 thread
AOKE Z15 - Android 4.0, but cheaper, but $112 from DX
There are loads more but these two have a thread or mention in XDA. The questions is why would you say that iMacwear M7 is better?. Here are the specs.
Updated
Update with how to for recovery and added pictures:good:
Hi, i'm thinking to buy this smartwatch but stilo struggling to understand in xda threads if it was updated to android 4.4 by the vendor or if One of the 4.4 omate TS firmwares available are supporter on it.
Moreover i'm intersted in smartphone companion app such ad SWAPp link ti get phone notifications on smartwatch, is it or any similar good app working on imacwear m7 on either the 4.2 or 4.4 versione?
And, furthermore, various specs are cinflicting in regards to sensors, FM radio and camera resolution: has it got proximity, compass, accelerometer, gravity and lightvsensors? FM radio yes or not? Is camera 5 or 3 MP interpolated? Is it possibile to unlock the screen with wirst movement if it has accelerometer/gravity sensor?
Thanks for any info or confirmation.

When buying ANY new watch battery, be very very careful of the the thickness of the battery.
1. Some sellers sell any generic battery to make money
2. If it's too thick even by few mm then it will damage the screen and watch.
Best to measure your current battery thickness very precisely (using a digital caliper if you have one) and after you have asked them to double check the thickness, measure it again when you have it before installing it.
Ok, very useful advise. I'll do so before installing any replacement battery in the watch.
My only issue at that time will be to find a caliper
Many thanks again simple1i.

Your welcome.
Once you have the new battery you should be able to compare the approx thickness using your fingers or by using a spirit-level, making sure the surface is level first.
I bought mine about a week ago and it came with 4.4 which is awesome, I like this watch so far. The only issue I guess I have is that I can't seem to get it rooted. I've tried kingroot and towelroot. Every time I trying it ends up restarting my watch. Are there any other root methods?

Hello
I want the Mate 9 6GB version. I've searched the forums as much as I can understand and found that Wondamobile seems to be the legit place I can buy it from for the UK but there's still stuff I don't get and any help will be appreciated:
1) Will the AL00 international version be in full English, with google play and full UK functionality working on UK SIMS in the UK? (conflicting answers on their website maybe due to different dates)
2) From what I read I understand google play may work but does that also mean will everything else be ok? I mean, is google play just one aspect of it, but the rest may be in chinese (like settings, facebook, email etc). Or if google play works can I be certain that basically it's totally fine and will be a UK phone. I don't want a Chinese phone that just happens to have a UK version of Google Play on it!
3) Can it be rooted?
4) Would I be able to run my own Nova Launcher (pro)?
5) They say they refund any customs - does anyone have experience of this? (I don't see how/why they could)
Thanks in advance even if you can only answer 1 or 2 of the above
As I know, there is only chinese model Mate 9 that has 6 GB RAM. It can be rebranded onto international firmware, so you can use Google Apps same way as you're using international model Mate 9.
Sure, it can be rooted
You can use Nova Launcher (there were some troubles with specific functional, don't know does it hurt you). Search thread in Q&A.

That's very helpful thank you.
Yes wonda have replied to say that it should be fine too.
they also say I'll be able to do updates without losign the google play which is great.
I've the 6gb version. It's AL00 but I've rebranded it to L29c636 in essence the international version. I have no a launcher working perfectly too. All apps work apart from a Barclaycard app. Google integrated so no issues on that front. I bought mine from Gumtree, a chap has his folks send it over and he didn't want it. Paid... £600 for it! It's a brilliant phone.
Ah thats helpful thanks.
Im having second thoughts about the phone now though having seen techzilla's 1 month update review on YouTube. He claims the battery is rubbish and no better than S7, iphone etc.
Are you finding its not much different or does it seem to last more?

Why 6gb ram? Android can't work with more than 4
Mate 9
From what I've read that's contentious. One plus 3T only allow 4GB unless rooted but does huawei do the same?
If so I'll just buy one in the uk
My suggestion is to buy whatever is sold and supported in your region. Unless you realy have a knack for tinkering just get a device from an authorized local retailer and spare yourself the headache of having to deal with customs, rebranding, cross-flashing, etc.
Legal warranty = peace of mind. Just my 2 cents.

Well techzilla is talking out his rear end. I had the S7 edge exynos, got rid of olive after a few days for the Mate 9. The battery life is fantastic. I absolutely love the Mate 9 (6Gb Duane sim b158) and the battery life is why I love it so much. Also, when the time comes the battery is pretty easy to replace...
I'll tell you something, a lot of these review sites talk rubbish and hype. I did my own research, based on videos and then going out and trying. The Mate 9 had the best battery life of any smart phone I've owned. Period.

THanks mate yeah with the replies I'm getting here and his BS comments of getting a whatsapp every 3seconds and an email every 7 seconds etc I'm coming to the conclusion that there's a bit of BS in that review. Not a single person seems to agree with him.
Out of interest - how do you find your 6GB version? Do you find you are going beyond 4GB usage at all? Is it useful for having lots of progs in memory? Or using the camera (I red somewhere high RAM is useful for cam). If you do go beyond 4GB RAM usage are you noticing more battery drain with this?
Sorry for all the Qs but if I'm gonna drop close to £600 on this thing I want to make sure it's worth it!
