GUIDE FOR UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER OF MEIZU PRO 7
(Sorry for the inconvenience, but there are some issues in posting pictures. Therefore requesting you to please check the attached files for images)
This guide can also work with many other Meizu devices. Checked on 15, 16 all options (s, t, x) and on Pro7I post the archive and instructions in pictures.
Step 1: Download. Unpack. Run meizublunlocker.exe
meizublunlocker:-https://drive.google.com/open?id=1yEm_vZo4rsqEtii279AU6l1mBajiSPQ2
See Image 1 in Attachments.
Step 2:-We connect the phone to the computer in fastboot mode (hold down the Vol. Down and power buttons), click refresh. The program must identify the device.
See Image 2 in Attachments.
Step 3ress CheckBL to check bootloader status.
See Image 3 in Attachments.
Step 4:-Click the Create Request button. This will create a file with the end of req.dat in the folder with this program
We send it to the e-mail [email protected] and wait for the response file to unlock the bootloader.
(This takes usually 1 week to receive the unlocked file, but you can donate to get the file within 3 hours)
See Image 4 in Attachments.
Step 5:- After we received the unlock file with the end of res.dat, click UnlockBL and select the resulting file.
See Image 5 in Attachments.
If the file is correct then get this answer
See Image 6 in Attachments.
That's It. We successfully Unlocked the Bootloader.
Now the next thing is to install the TWRP in our Device. ( Further credits goes to{ sergpolov} )
Step 1: Download and install "adb_run"
adb run:-https://drive.google.com/open?id=1y4wdL53-P7mybKsj5XeimHRoMSpokMkQ
Step 2:- Download the required Files.
Stock Recovery Pro 7:-https://drive.google.com/open?id=1e2tRdqLi5jsT8J854RMcIA-jvZyR7xhT
Twrp Pro 7:-https://drive.google.com/open?id=1uYOT9HGractYuoJvRidgAgh8IBLhzFtu
Step 3:-We load the phone into fastboot mode, flash through the fastboot the recovery you need.
Launch the application shortcut
Step 4:-Click "3" - go to fastboot mode
See Image 7 in Attachments.
Step 5:-Click "3" - recovery
See Image 8 in Attachments.
Step 6:-Here we select the recovery file: - in the window that opens, we throw the file itself and close the window with the file and press any button.
See Image 9 in Attachments.
The process has begun.
See Image 10 in Attachments.
Step 7:- Choose "Y" and "Enter"
See Image 11 in Attachments.
The recovery firmware process is over!
Next Few Steps are Extremely Important , so follow with caution!Step 8:-Reboot into Recovery Mode(hold down "Power" and hold, as soon as the screen goes blank, hold down the second button "Volume +" - hold it until vibration and release "Power", and after it release the button "Volume +")
Step 9:-To disable encryption of the "Data" section (who installs TWRP), we immediately flash the zip archive - tool-root_unlock-Testing-Pro7.zip
(disables encryption of the "Data" section, disables Boot and Recovery checks, installs Magisk and disables system root) and reboot into the system.)
tool-root_unlock-Testing-Pro7.zip:-https://drive.google.com/open?id=1a3Gyyuoo2Jv3EN7EWPwj389tXorSwkxT
Attention ! When installing custom recovery (TWRP) on your device, for the full TWRP functionality, you should format the internal memory (Data section) of the device using TWRP itself, since the "Data" section on Meizu smartphones is encrypted, I highly recommend it before installing custom recovery , on creating backups using the internal Flyme firmware (after creating the backup, it is located in the "backup" folder of the internal drive), as well as copying all the necessary data from the phone’s internal memory to the computer!
NOTE:-No One shall be responsible to any damage ocurring to your device
Doubts and queries are welcomed .
Hi, but doesn't this only work on Qualcomm processors? How does it work on a Meizu Pro 7 which is a Mediatek? I tried it on my Meizu M5C and it doesn't work.

Yeah you r right and this guide is also taken from meizu 16th only, but this is tested now because qualcomm devices requires port_traces.txt and unlocked bl.bin files whereas for pro 7 we are using to res.dat which uses fastboot driven commands only.. Thats why it got successfull. I am also posting pictures for proof. (Shared by diabloss).

i know you have already tried this method with your device and it didnt worked. I am not sure that m5c will get another method in future or not. Bcoz we also got lucky with pro 7 that it got successful by the help of guide ported from Meizu 16TH a Qualcomm device.

i am not sure about this but yeah 5$ is not a big cost for this. Like sincerely there is no other verified method to work and unlocking bootloader gives u many advantages. You can have magisk now and various other thing . You can directly flash service firmware now by flash tool. Custom roms are also there. Like 5$ dollars for a mediatek device is reasonable.
In this TWRP, could we install anny official ROM (Global or Chinese) in it's standard form (update.zip)? Or some file modification in the zip archive is required?

Some users reported that they can directly install the official update zip. But i would recommend you to modify the updater script before flashing. You can request your firmware to make it TWRP flashable we can help you with this.

Well, it would be nice if some very talented enthusiast developer or team of devs would build a custom ROM based on Android 8 or higher (if it's possible, of course).
I saw there is single custom ROM, AOSP, but it's still based on Nougat, like stock Flyme. This makes it uninteresting for me, because it brings nothing new over already very-good-full-of-options Flyme ROM based on Android 7.0.
Maybe time will bring us custom ROMs based on a newer Android, at least Oreo.

theoretically its not possible to update android version.. Because we dont have the source code to develop a higher version kernel .. But still there is a hope to port a rom based on android 8 but cant sure for stability.

I remember that Lenovo P2 smarthone officially stopped at Android 7 but people could install different custom Oreo, Pie and Q ROMs. This means that Lenovo published the source code?

Lenovo P2 is a snapdragon device. The source code and device tree can be found easily. Unlike mediatek , snapdragon never hides such things that's why the development is high on SD devices. Mediatek released kernel sources till Helio p10 then never disclosed anything. For higher android version roms we have to port kernel to higher version. Meizu pro 7 is right now on 4.4.15 kernel ver. For higher version we need kernel of 4.4.15+. I hope i cleared your doubts.

So, it's all about the source code, kernel sources and so on.
From my point of view (and my knowledge), there are two major steps or two issues that need to be addressed to successfully develop ROMs and kernels for a phone:
1. As you said, the source code must be released publicly.
2. The bootloader must be unlocked (or easy to unlock), for all these mods and kernels to be installed through a custom recovery (IF a custom recovery is developed).
Please correct me if I'm wrong (I'm seeing these things from consumer/user point of view, not like a programmer/developer/coder).

Official Team Win Recovery Project for Alcatel Tetra (5041C)
First things first, any and all potential risk to a device due to choosing to modify it in any way is the responsibility of said devices owner AND NO ONE ELSE.
Requirements:Boot loader unlocked and root permissions. Or, boot loader unlocked and fastboot. for these refer to PizzaG and LgPWD's previous post located here. Some of the links my not be working at the moment but the instructions are sound.
If you already have bootloader unlocked and root permissions, simply download the official twrp app and select your device and let the app do the work.
If you have bootloader unlock but no root, use the tool from the above tutorial to access fastboot. Then using fastboot issue
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <path/to/twrp/image>
*Be sure to replace <path/to/twrp/image> with the actual path to where you have saved the recovery image.
Official TWRP image lives here
Credits:
1st thanks to Team Win Recovery Project for making this possible by remaining open sourced and flexible.
Thanks to bigbiff from TWRP for helping me through the process to get this device approved for official support.
Last but certainly not least, thanks to PizzaG, LgPWD, and all my people at A-Team Digital Solutions for all the support and allowing me to keep my skills sharp as a team member. I built the initial device tree for the Tetra, but it was through much trial and error that PizzaG, LgPWD, and I were able to finally get to this point with the recovery image.
Amen brother, good work and appreciate the mention. Keep up the good work

Hi,
I just happened to google how to unlock Nokia 7 Plus' bootloader again and stumbled upon this site:
[Guide] How to unlock the bootloader on Nokia Android Phones for free
Detailed guide to help you unlock the bootloader of your Nokia Android device. You can unlock bootloader on many Nokia smartphones, including Nokia 7 Plus, Nokia 8, Nokia 8 Sirocco, Nokia 8.1, Nokia 7, Nokia 6, Nokia 6.1, Nokia 5, Nokia 2, Nokia 2.1. etc.
www.techmesto.com
It was updated today with a free way to generate bootloader unlock keys for Nokia 7 Plus apparently. Now I can't test this myself at the moment (in a week at earliest), but do you think this is legit?
At least I can generate a code apparently, so this part is actually free.
Hello,
has anyone tried this unlocker, because I'd like to use it, but since I use my nokia 7 plus as my primary phone I'd like to have some confirmations before using it
I use my Nokia 7 Plus as primary phone as well, but I guess I'll just risk it
However, I can't promise anything here. Hopefully I will get around to it within the coming week.
I tried it yesterday and it work flawlessly.
Just follow the steps on the page, I had no issues unlocking the bootloader.
That being said, I nearly bricked my device when trying to flash Lineage OS onto it (because all TWRP and Lineage OS step by step guides seem to be out of date?), but this guide helped me get back to stock: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...m-flash-tool-nokia-7-plus-b2n_sprout.4023961/
Might keep it handy if you are like me

Thanks for the useful infos.
I suppose I will unlock my phone in the upcomming months but right now I just factory resetted it and it's working almost nicely.
I really want to unlock and flash a custom rom on my phone, because the stock rom it's buggy and tends to have some performance issues, but right now if I mess with it I can't afford to change the phone so I guess I'll have to wait.

Yeah, the tutorials seem to be a little outdated...
In general, follow this guide here (its from the same person that created the official twrp.me site I believe):
[CLOSED][OFFICIAL] TWRP 3.4.0-0 | Team Win Recovery Project | Nokia 7 Plus | Onyx |
Note - Iam Not Responsible for bricked devices About Team win recovery project TWRP is an open source, community project. TWRP development is done by roughly 4 people at this point. We also have a large support community with many people who...
forum.xda-developers.com
I wasn't sure if I have a OOB or POB device, but I haven't had any issues using both (currently using OOB since I'm pretty sure my Nokia 7 Plus is that old )
Secondly, what the instruction somehow failed to mention is how to get the install.zip. It is on their sourceforge page in a subfolder:
B2N_sprout - Browse /TWRP-TEN/OOB at SourceForge.net
sourceforge.net
This is for the OOB variant, you can replace OOB at the end with POB to get the other files
You can verify, that I'm sending you the right link by following the links from the forum post to download the image to boot from. For example:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/b2n-sprout/files/TWRP-TEN/POB/twrp-3.4.0-0-B2N_sprout-POB-10.0-20200829.img/download
Now you can just remove the "twrp-3.4.0-0-B2N_sprout-POB-10.0-20200829.img/download" part of the URL and you get to the folder where all the other images are located. Download the latest "twrp-installer-*.zip" for your device and install it.

Hi @Znert, did you use TWRP for Android 10 or Android 11?

I use the Android 10 version, but I'm not sure what the difference is anyways (it's a bootloader, shouldn't that be OS independent?)
Regarding your second question, yes, I unlocked my bootloader with the latest official stock ROM (so Android 10).
Yes that's what I thought also... Maybe we need to use the Android 11 version to install a Android 11 ROM.
Now I see there is a new version of TWRP 3.5.2 on the official website.

In my experience with every older fone, it does format it, but i wanna make sure.

Yes, unlocking the bootloader will wipe your phone. As far as I know, this is true for all Android phones.

Hi
I just successfully rooted my OnePlus Nord CE 5G, but I didn't use a custom recovery to do it. I still miss the features of custom recoveries, essentially the low-level backups.
I searched the Internet for TWRP and OrangeFox, I like both and have used them on previous devices. However, I couldn't find anything for this phone.
Does anyone know how to get that working on Nord CE? Or if there is any low-risk way of trying random recovery builds in the phone, and be able to re-flash the stock recovery if it goes wrong?
Did you make any progress on this?

None at all. I was waiting for answers here.
I guess that
- nobody really has specific knowledge about this on Nord CE
and
- the people who have generic knowledge about whether it's risky or not to flash random recoveries and recover with stock recoveries... those people aren't reading this thread.
I personally can't try anything risky, I am already relying on this phone as my main professional tool... and personal gadget.

Well, then you have not bricked your phone as I did trying to root it without making a backup first
Good to know, I haven't found a solution yet
Right now orangefox android 11 tree is not released (if yes , i dont know), but twrp has. And already custom twrp compiled for ce but needs development and testing.
Right now I need storage on my personal pc , this weekend i will insert new ssd for development on CE (4. SSD ) . First target to see stable twrp (hope it will be official maybe) and then we can compile some roms kernels etc. But i will compile only gapps inbuild roms .
And second news, trying miui cam port to CE . Hope it will work . OxygenOS cam software is trash for me.

Can you please tell us exactly how you bricked it? Was it by installing the new TWRP available in the thread I linked?
Yes, by flashing incorrect TWRP to device and trying to update afterwards. Ended in booting into crashdump all the time.
Now discovered the a/b slots could have been the issue.
