Meizu pro 5 is named turbo.
Download the ROM you need.
You can show images use
Download the
kernel-OTA-10.2.zip
which I packaged here for OTA 10.2.CAUTION: If you want to install other version then OTA 10.2. you need to replace 4 files in the above
kernel*.zip
from thedevice*.tar.xz
file you had downloaded.boot.img
,dtb
andlogo.bin
are in partitions folder,ldfw
is in blobs. DO NOT FLASH bootloader and recovery! (meaning do not put these files into the abovekernel*.zip
file)Enter to recovery mode (TWRP) by pressing the volume up + down + power buttons for 5 seconds.
In TWRP wipe data,cache,system.
In TWRP install
kernel-OTA-10.2.zip
(with the replacedboot.img
,dtb
,logo.bin
,ldfw
)In TWRP mount the
system
partition (remove the readonly mode).In TWRP run commands below in terminal:
Reboot to system.
Notes:
It may not get OTA updates without a recovery provide by Ubuntu edition.
You can do all the steps above without external sd card, the mobile can be seen all the time through usb.
