4. Download and install that APK - drive.google.com/open?id=0B_Gd_o_kBWgLNHFuZW5kMlFzV2s
5. Open that app, and provide root permission.
6. Press "Press to UNLOCK BootLoader" - and wait, you will see "Unlock Finished"
7. After, will be available recovery mode, and you press to "Enter Recovery Mode"
8. Your phone reboot and enters for normal recovery - TWRP 2.8.6.0.

Thanks for the great work!
At last we're getting closer to opening up our meizu phones.
Can the phone with this, unlocked bootloader flash "I" international roms from OTA?

Or flash stock uboot

Successfully upgraded MX4 "A" edition phone to "I" using following method:
Installed 4.2.8 "A" stock firmware.
1. Installed apk method unlock (this thread).
2. Downloaded 4.5.7 "I" firmware, extracted and created system.img using (linux):
$ sdat2img system.transfer.list system.new.dat system.img
for windows, see this guide from Meizufans.
3. Boot into fastboot mode (now unlocked) using "VOL -" + "POWER"
4. fastboot flash boot boot.img
WAIT
fastboot flash system system.img
WAIT
5.Reboot into recovery
6. Full wipe
7. Install super su
8. Reboot
VOILA - 4.5.7 "I"
Remember to block/deactivate system updates once system has booted for first time.

Is it possible for someone to upload recovery.img of TWRP please ? I'd like to try

Good, but there is easy way download that rom, and install it for TWRP(select full wipe, include internal storage) - emmaus.pro/MX4_custom_roms/Flyme/4.5.7i_twrp.zip
and there all stock Flyme roms for twrp - emmaus.pro/?dir=MX4_custom_roms/Flyme
Author all rom "nikk3d" russian 4pda users - 4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showuser=2196261

And this method works even on newest firmware, let's say 4.5.6i downgraded to 4.2.8i via 4.0.4i? Or is a easy variant of previous method, patched uboot by meizu remains after 4.5.6i upgrade if i understand, no matter if you downgrate to Kitkat?

update for TWRP : http://www.mediafire.com/download/f6a65ccpgrfaopw/TWRPr5.img
Changelog :
I corrected "Select storage" position, corrected some shifts on the main screen

I have an MX4 originally with Ubuntu touch, I tried to flash 4.5.7i from emmaus.pro.
It failed, updater binary error. I checked the recovery log and it says write error, no space left.
Does anybody have any clue?
Thanks,
Note: I already tried a wipe out (even internal storage). No issues with the cyanogenmod roms from emmaus.pro.

Is someone trying to make fom Meizu MX5?

i think, mx4 ubuntu touch version, and standard china version, - internal partitions(storage) name - different, so you gives write an error.

Thanks to all user's who making this for MX4. They are really engineers! I hope they will try for MX5.
Yes, the problem it is not official, and we cant get new update.
Why we don't write a email to Canynogen and tell them that we open the bootloader and put CM. But we want they make CM for MX4 and MX5, with new CM and updates?

root on Zenfone 3 laser (zc551kl) ?

Has a method for rooting the zc551kl been made available?
Why is it taking so long? Is it because there is no bootloader unlock available yet? I've tried kingroot, TWRP, SRSroot, damn I think I've tried them all. Can someone help me?

No BL unlock, no root. It's that simple.

OK, Here we go; You downloaded bootloader unlock tool from Asus and want to root: https://www.asus.com/us/Phone/ZenFone-3-Laser-ZC551KL/HelpDesk_Download/
FILES TO DOWNLOAD:
-First you need to download the unofficial TWRP that works for this phone (twrp-3.1.1-unofficial): https://depositfiles.com/files/ux8w5thp6
-Second, you need superSU file (Many thanks and credits to @mauam for the links): https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/v2-64-2-66-supersu-mode-t3286120
-Third, if supersu doesn't work, you need Magisk v.15.3 (Lots of thanks and credits to @topjohnwu for providing us with these tools): https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
-Fourth, download ADB drivers and install them in your PC: https://gsmusbdriver.com/asus-zenfone-3-laser-zc551kl
-Again many thanks and credits to @Gt5228 for the original helpful "Idiots Guide" of how to root ZC551KL. If you have issues, follow this thread for info, links and solutions: https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-3/help/how-to-root-zenfone-3-laser-zc551kl-t3502606/page5
NOTE: For some phones, superSU doesn't work. I run Android Nougat 7.1.1 stock on ZC551KL, and using superSU soft bricked my phone. I had to flash the stock again and try Magisk instead supersu, which worked. Others used successfully another version of SU, so please read the original thread before you start if you still have questions. I am not responsible for bricking your phone or any other issue you may encounter. Just to be safe, make sure you backed up your device, and have access to the original firmware file just in case you need to flash it again.
HOW TO:
-Install adb drivers;
-Enable debugging on your phone;
-Copy "twrp-3.1.1.unofficial.img" on your installed ADB folder (PC);
-Copy "Magisk-v15.3" or "superSU" on your phone's SD Card;
-Go in adb folder where your files are and pressing and holding "Shift" right click on nothing inside your folder and choose "Open command prompt here"
-With your phone still on and connected to PC, type "adb devices" You should see a serial number, that means your phone is connected via adb and you are good to go;
-Next, type "adb reboot bootloader"
-Once in bootloader type: "fastboot flash recovery <file name>.img (fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1.unofficial.img);
-After Flashing, DO NOT REBOOT YOUR PHONE INTO SYSTEM!!! Reboot into Recovery!
-Using vol up/down choose Recovery and wait to reboot on TWRP. You'll be asked for your pin if you have one;
-In TWRP (Recovery) press "INSTALL" from main menu and navigate to your saved file on SD Card (superSU or Magisk) and select it;
-After the installation, clean cache and restart. Now your phone has TWRP recovery and is rooted. Enjoy.
This is not entirely my work, all i did was just collecting information and links from web and put them here together.
P.S. I used Windows 7 Ultimate 64bits, USB 2.0 port.

Click to expand...

About custom roms, at this time there's absolutely none ported for ZenFone 3 Laser. I've been looking for weeks now, here on xda and everywhere else and found none to 0... No CM, no AOSP, no Lineage, no Viper OS, no nothing... disappointing, as there's lots of ZC551KL users waiting. As posted here, twrp, bootloader unlocking and rooting is possible, but beside the privacy apps we can install over root, we still have to live with all this blootware on Asus Zenfones. We'll get the Oreo update in August though, if that makes you feel better...

And here is the thread for How to download and install Xposed Framework. Must read as there's a different solutions for everyone. Works for my device. All thanks to @topjohnwu , @rovo89 , @wanam : https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-systemless-xposed-t3388268

[Q] [HELP] I did a mistake while rooting

Hello,
I need your help because I did an error while rooting my U Play.
I've successfully unlocked my bootloader, and then I flashed the twrp recovery, installed the supersu zip, and I was pretty much tired and now I'm not sure of what I've done but I'm left with a phone with access to download mode, bootloader mode and custom recovery, but no rom on the phone.
I am on a single sim europe, with Orange 1.30.89.6
I've tried to flash an europe rom but I got this message "cid mismatched", because it was a non orange rom I assume.
Now, I've no rom to flash, no backup. And no idea how to get a rom.
Can you please help me to find a rom and a guide to finish to root my phone then please ?
My girlfriend have exactly the same phone than me, stock everythning. I don't know if it is possible to "extract" her stock rom...

First of all, you should do backup before flashing any third-party zip, rom etc, it is a common sense.
I'll upload a stock image backup [Orange, 1.30.89.6] for you, please flash separate .img file through TWRP recovery, you can follow this guide.

In last, I suggest that use Magisk to get root access for HTC U Play.

Original BOOT

Dear friends,
I'm a bit tired of custom roms and I have installed the last official b12 (the one from this week)
now, I would like also to remove twrp in order to remove the message that appears when restarting (the one that says is not official, wait 5 seconds...)
Can you please advise on which boot should I install?
Thanks a lot!!!!

Anyone?

I'm a bit tired of custom roms and I have installed the last official b12 (the one from this week)
now, I would like also to remove twrp in order to remove the message that appears when restarting (the one that says is not official, wait 5 seconds...)
Can you please advise on which boot should I install?
Thanks a lot!!!!

how did you install b12? if you do it in edl,twrp should be removed.And the warning is ther because your bootloader is unlocked.Lock your bootloader again and the screen/message is gone.I cant help with locking bootloader,i dont recommend it

Or keep TWRP and unlocked bootloader and install NFound patch (modified aboot) to remove warning.

just leave twrp as-is and use one of the "remove inscription" zips. You should use Raystef66's zip.
unclear what "boot" has to do with this, but FYI the kernel doesn't really change this at all.
Don't relock the bootloader, it's just plain stupid. If you NEED OTA updates then you can extract the recovery.img from one of the stock ROMs (provided that you already are on stock ofc) and TWRP - Install - Install image - Recovery. The bootloader doesn't need to be locked for anything really, hell they don't even check it if you send it in for repairs lol

Thanks a lot my friend.
i'm just reading the whole post and I'm not sure if I should use the zip.
I have the android bootloader, not TWRP and I'm on the B12 stock ROM from this week.
Shoud I?
I tried also the method with ADB but it says permission denied!...
Sorry for so many question.

Also I have to say that in my setting says that my phone is encrypted...
So I guess NFOUND option is not valid as per his warnings

you mean fastboot? Then what do you have as recovery? Stock MiFavor recovery?
Get TWRP and flash raystef's stuff, then also do what i said and flash the stock recovery (first flash the remove inscription zip, then test if it worked, THEN install stock mifavor recovery)
