Now It's Time To Flash Cm 12.1
Note: As i Told You To Flash Flyme 4.5.4i(international Version)First.If still not installed then you will not able to install Cm12.1
Why?
Ans: As this rom is for Meizu M2 mini and model number of both devices Meizu M2 and Meizu m2 mini are not same so in this rom its developer had scripted a script in that it will not allow you to install Cm12.1 until it Check Ether Its Meizu M2 mini or not(Our is meizu m2) if it had some problem it will decline further installation process
Like this "Error In Executing Updater Binary In Zip"
Steps for installing rom
1.Unlock bootloader
2.Install Twrp
3.download Cm12.1.zip in SD
4.reboot to recovery
5.wipe everything( It Can Wipe Your Internal Storage too So i recommend You to Get Internal Storage Backup Too)
6.install zip
8.reboot to system
It will take time for first boot so don't worry.

}
Note: Still Not Able to flash error still comes
then try this two below given steps
1)Try with Flyme 5 beta version it can be flashed(untested)
2)Decompress Cm12.1 custom rom then go to bin folder there will be a file name"otasigcheck.sh"
Delete that file recompress whole rom again.
not recompress whole folder just recompress all files wich will be there eg :boot.img,system,bin etc (tested working 100%)
After this you may not able to get features update so you if you want to update download manually

Dear murtaza1326,
I'm sorry I'm nagging, but maybe you have a link to how to make the switch between the versions?
I need the device urgently, and I don't want to ruin it again, especially after I paid for the repair.

In the Steps given in the guide, it says- "go to
File_root.zip folder copy all files and Paste it in the Minimal ADB Driver Folder then Install Minimal ADB."
I have installed Minimal ADB driver from the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790 mentioned earlier in the guide. Do i need to copy all the contents of the File_root.zip folder to the folder which is created upon installing ADB from the link you mentioned (because it also asks to replace 4 files which pre exist there) or copy the contents to a new folder because i am having problem understanding this step.
Thnx!

Download and install TWRP recovery. Special thanks to @shakalaca for the first TWRP builds for our device!
Warning!
Always have your original firmware, recovery and boot files in case things don't go as expected
Backup all of your personal data!
Prerequisites
Adb and Fastboot installed. I recommend you to install it from HERE.
Drivers installed. Try using these or Universal ADB Drivers
Download
Grab the recovery img file from any of the mirrors:
MEGA (Shakalaca builds)
AndroidFileHost
Try it!
This is for you if you just want to temporary boot into TWRP recovery without replacing your current installed recovery. In case you need to flash a single zip, or just becuase it's your will not to install it!
Connect your device to your computer and boot it into bootloader mode. Turn off the device and press Volume up + Power button. Or by using adb command:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Now open a terminal window inside the folder where the twrp recovery img file is placed and run the command:
Code:
fastboot boot <twrp img file name>
This command will NOT replace yout current recovery, it will temporary boot into TWRP recovery. This means once you are done using it, reboot your device and you will still have your current recovery untouched.​Install it!
In order to install TWRP and replace your current recovery follow the next instructions.
Connect your device to your computer and boot it into bootloader mode as described in the previous step. Now open a terminal window inside the folder where the twrp recovery img file is placed and run the command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <twrp img file name>
Done! Enjoy your fresh installed TWRP recovery!​

Thanks

Just a heads up, With shaka's TWRP for the zenfone 3 zs550kl, I recieved ERROR 7 when flashing the Android 7 zip file. Flashed stock recovery and everything was fine.
Tried after that to boot from TWRP and it never booted into android, gave it a good 20mins. Figured you might want this information here.
Thanks for the development!

Hello, i tried fastboot boot <twrp img file name> but FAILED (remote: bootimage: incomplete or not signed) can you help me please?

This is not a boot.img, this is a recovery.
Google the steps to flashing twrp and you will find a guide for flashing the recovery.

try download the first image on support asus and open recovery to flash and try again

So unlocked bootloader is not needed to flash twrp and then root?

TWRP can't decrypt device even with the right password...

I half fix the problem, it boot but i had to go to ASUS support, download UL-ASUS_X01A-WW-16.2018.1905.42-user ROM, change update-script device name because script says ASUS_X01A_1 and TWRP says X01AD and i had to delete this lines to:
Code:
getprop("ro.build.version.release") == "9" || getprop("ro.build.version.incremental") == "15.2016.1902.159-20190227" || abort("This FULL package is SPECIALLY for 9.0 and S159(15.2016.1902.159-20190227) on 8.0!!!; this is a \"" + getprop("ro.build.version.incremental") + "\".");
(!less_than_int(1557109512, getprop("ro.build.date.utc"))) || abort("E3003: Can't install this package (Mon May 6 10:25:12 CST 2019) over newer build (" + getprop("ro.build.date") + ").");
Like this i manage to flash with TWRP... But is not all...
I had to go to Bootloader and execute this command:
Code:
fastboot format data
It give a fail info but do the trick!
Format with TWRP doens´t encrypt again, like this it works.
Then need to flash TWRP again, and then format data, factory reset.
Now it boot show 2 screens with that info from above, 1 says 5 sec with White font and the other 30sec with red font, but if press power screen blinks, release power key and system boot.
Is there any way to fix this mess??? And find stock recovery???
Thanks.

I used only with PE FE

I'm getting mi a2 booting to fastboot after install latest magisk canary and can't boots to android

Is it worth using as a daily driver considering the useful features in Android 11?
Or is it better to stay in PE rom?

FAQ
Q: Can i use this recovery with other firmware then mentioned in compatibility?
A: Only with same Android version or Rollback protection might kick in and you won't be able to pass the lockscreen.
Q: Where do i get vbmeta.img?
A: From here, download the one you need according to install instructions.
Q: TWRP can't mount data partition, what to do?
A: Make sure you formatted data partition.
Q: Phone is not booting even after 20 minutes
A: Try to reboot. If still not booting, make sure you flashed multidisabler zip / formatted data partition.
Q: How to format data partition?
A:
Q: Phone is showing only Samsung logo
A: Try to reboot. If still not booting, consider installing an older TWRP build or a more recent firmware. If you still don't succeed, post here some details about your device and previous firmware and we might be able to help.
Q: Why do i need to format data partition?
A: Because old firmware encrypted your data partition and new rom can't decrypt and use that content / root needs access to data partition to place misc files / phone not booting after flashing root until data partition gets formatted.

Updated first post with official pages from twrp.me, but since the builds are not up yet, i posted latest test builds in post #2.

well done sir

Hello! I have a rooted sm-n980f exynos European version. I rooted my phone using magisk patched AP file through odin. I am trying to flash twrp 3.6.1 above and vbmeta.tar using odin but it fails. What shall I do? Thank you!

Can you attach a screenshot of Odin and eventually tell me if you see anything in particular changing on phone screen? It should throw an error or something below the usual download mode lines. A pic of phone screen would be nice but i'd assume it's your only phone..

I installed twrp but it seems that it does not read the internal storage.

And how to flash the multidisabler? it seems that everything is encrypted and is impossible to locate it in twrp?

I found it!
1. enter into TWRP (after flashing twrp.tar and Vbmeta.tar via odin), format data and reboot again in TWRP
2. Being in TWRP, transfer from PC to your phone multidisabler.zip and magisk zip.
3. flash them both
4. reboot system
That is all!

I'm still trying to find the issue, for whatever reason multidisabler needs a second flash to work as far as i seen on my device. So for now please flash multidisabler 2 times in a row, until i find a better solution to this.

Thank You very much. It worked!

A big thank you, it works fine.

hey.
i did everything from this guide, and i got root access+twrp installed.
the problem that i am facing, is that i canot install anything from twrp, due to insufficient space.
the system size that twrp is reading is only 8384kb, so every installation of gapps is failed.
i tried to wipe ,format data, and changing the file system, but nothing helped.
please give me an idea how to solve it.
thanks.

Good day
Does this work for Android 13 One UI 5.1?
