In anticipation of the release of the final version of Flyme 6, we would like to tell you in detail how to correctly update the firmware on MEIZU smartphone... Today we will consider the option with data cleansing and subsequent recovery. backup as this method is fast enough and recommended by the Flyme community. Note that updating the software without clearing the data is permissible only within one version of Flyme, while the stable operation of the device is still not guaranteed. When you change the Flyme version, for example, from Flyme 5 to Flyme 6, cleaning is required, and a backup with its subsequent restoration will help you not to install or configure the device again, since all data will be saved in its original form.
You can check out the complete changes. Latest version software included in the beta version of all devices officially sold in Spain. No, upgrading the firmware without a factory reset does not mean that you will lose the data you have backed up. However, it is important to clarify that in order to avoid incompatibilities, it is recommended that you keep a backup and update a clean one. This step is especially important in the following cases.
When the device is rooted. Please make sure you have backed up before following this step. In many cases, there is no need to make the update clean. However, we always recommend that you make periodical backups in case of device damage or when updating errors. Steps to be taken before upgrading.
Let's get started!
Download firmware
You can download the current firmware version on our website in the section or on the official Russian MEIZU website at this link. In both cases, we need to select our smartphone and download the firmware specifically for it.
You can download the update either directly to a smartphone via the built-in browser, or to a computer, followed by copying the firmware file to the device.
Update error due to low battery
When the firmware is updated using recovery mode, the device can stop the process and notify you that the battery is less than 20%. You can charge your mobile phone to the minimum battery required to complete the update. Once you reach this minimum, the Start button will be activated and you can click it to complete the process.
Once we purchase a phone, the hardware is supported through a software service center and through firmware updates. These processes optimize, add, or change terminal functionality, bringing the latest and greatest improvements.
Personally, it is more convenient for me to download the update immediately to my smartphone, so as not to waste a few extra minutes copying the archive to the device.
As soon as the firmware download is complete, we need to transfer the update archive, which has the name "update.zip", to the root folder of the smartphone's memory. To do this, go to standard application"Explorer", in it, click on "Local files", select the "Download" folder. Depending on the Flyme version and the built-in browser, the firmware file can be located either here, or in the "Browser" folder, which is located in the "Download" folder. In our case, "update.zip" was downloaded to the "Download" folder.
Will we lose information during the update process?
However, there are exceptions in which we have to make sure that certain data is erased during the update process. If they are not removed, the phone may stop working.
- The device is out of date.
- The cell phone is rooted.
Make sure the battery in the terminal has enough charge to complete the process. Make sure to back up important data. ... Select your device model and firmware version you want to update. Click to download to start downloading.
Press and hold the volume up and power buttons while the terminal vibrates. You will type directly into the update window and select the "Update System" option and click the "Start" button. Go to your desktop to see if it's updated correctly. To check this, you can do one of the following methods.
We make a long tap on the "update.zip" file so that it is highlighted with a tick and press the "Move" button, then press "Internal memory" and "Move ...". That's it, now our update file is in the right place. We leave it here for now and go to the backup.
Log in and click the "System Update" button to view current version and check if it matches the one you downloaded. As before, make sure the version displayed is the same as the one you downloaded. Log in and click on "About Phone" or "About Phone". ... If this is your case, follow these steps.
Displays the top bar menu and clicks the notification that appears in the update. Wait for the update to download completely. Make sure you have more than 20% battery to update. Once the update is complete, the system will display several options. You have to click "Restart". After a few minutes, the system will enter the desktop again. The top bar should display a notification that the update was successful.
Back up SMS and call history
The first thing I recommend to start creating a backup is this backup of messages and call history. For this I suggest using free program SMS Backup & Restore. You can download it in Google play by this link.
We can back up your smartphone or your computer. Phone reservation. Perhaps yes, if you didn't have a cell phone a few years ago. It has multi-stage ability to use two apps at the same time, many customization possibilities, great battery saving, new security encryption and many other benefits. As we can see, the process turns out to be too complicated and tedious, at this stage Oreo arrives and eats Nugu. We expect updates to be sped up so that users can use a system that will provide more speed and performance for mobile devices.
Download the application and go to it.
Before us will be a simple and intuitively understandable interface. We are interested in the "Make a backup" item. The program will offer to create a backup in Google Drive, Dropbox or in the smartphone's memory itself. The shortest way is to save the SMS backup on your smartphone in the default folder. So we will do it by clicking on "Local Backup" and "Default Application Folder".
Finally, as a specialized cow, we are in the best Chinese mobile phone, we offer you a list where you will find the models. The new software registration program begins tomorrow, June 25th, and runs through July 2nd. Please note that the update will come at a later date because they are the latest devices released on the market. The first new thing that slips into the eye is the new design. With a fluid and clean style, the user offers a new visual experience.
Many of the system's features have been completely reimagined, such as the Notification Center. Another important change in both graphics and functionality is the multitasking menu. When in secret mode, you can "obscure" the contents of the application in the multitasking menu.
I recommend leaving the checkboxes on the next screen as they are. Unless, if you use MMS, you can additionally save MMS messages. Now click on "Archive now", wait for the end of the process and see how many SMS and calls were copied.
Thanks to the multifunctional features, you can use multiple windows if your favorite application supports them. Another important change is reserved for the camera app, which has been completely overhauled. Moreover, thanks to the colorful mode, you can make your selfishness even more special. We know that the release date was repeatedly delayed, and at the same time, we had misunderstandings at the level of communication that made us doubt the validity of our work. We apologize for this, but at the same time we know that working with professionalism and competence can justify the delay in the release date.
At the end, the program will offer to set up automatic saving of backups. We click no, since we only need a backup copy to update the firmware.
It is important to make a copy using SMS Backup & Restore before the main backup, so that both the program and our backup are saved along with the full backup of the smartphone.
Creating a backup copy of settings and programs
To create a backup copy of settings, programs (with settings), contacts, calendar and photos, we will use the built-in Flyme backup utility. To do this, follow the path: Settings - About phone - Memory - Copy and restore.
Press the big BACKUP button and tick all the boxes except SMS, MMS and Call Logs, since we created a copy of them earlier.
The process of creating a backup will begin, which will take some time. As soon as copying is completed, the utility will notify you of the success of this operation. Click DONE and proceed to the direct flashing.
Firmware upgrade
The firmware of the device can be started through the "Explorer", so go into it, click "Local files" and scroll down to the file with the firmware.
We tap on the file name, be sure to put a tick in front of "Clear data" and click "Update now".
The flashing process will begin, which will last about 10-15 minutes. I recommend keeping the smartphone on charge all this time so that it does not suddenly turn off during the flashing.
Restore backups
After flashing with data cleansing, we got a pristine smartphone, just like after the purchase. We need to do the initial configuration and then restore our backups.
If you do not know how to make the initial configuration, then I described this process in detail in this article.
As part of the latest presentation by Meizu, two new smartphones were announced, one of which can be safely called the flagship (we are talking about the musical Meizu Pro 6 Plus and the glass Meizu M3X), and also talked about the upcoming update of Flyme OS to the sixth version.
The Flyme platform update will be available for all current models of the brand, including the MX4 and M1 Note, as well as the Meizu Pro 6 Plus. Full list models that can be updated looks something like this: Meizu Pro 6; MX4, MX4 Pro, MX5 and MX 6; M1, M2 and M3 Note; U10 and U20; M3 E and M3 Max; M2 Mini and M3S Mini (by the way, a cover for the Meise M3 Mini can be bought at http://roscase.ru) and, finally, Pro5.
The new platform was presented by the head of Flyme Yang Yang, who said that the system received many improvements and new functions. Flyme 6 OS now has a significantly redesigned interface, which is convenient to operate with one hand, even despite the large screen diagonal. More than 200 new animations have been created, application icons have been redrawn, some interface elements have been added, new basic colors are used, etc. The updated platform still supports gesture control and some traditional options, including phone call recording and Root access in a few clicks without fear of losing the warranty.
The manufacturer noted that when creating new version The OS focused on security: now the user can set three fingerprints to activate normal, guest and private modes. The system also uses encryption of photo content, phone contacts and user files. According to Meizu, Flyme OS 6 will be powered by an artificial intelligence called One Mind, which was developed by the company itself, but Meizu did not provide any information on exactly how it works.

After the invention of the camera a couple of hundred years ago, mankind fell in love with this technology so much that it seems almost impossible to do without it now. The functions of photo and video shooting are equipped with absolutely all devices, wherever it is possible to build a camera sensor.

Cameras in as many devices as possible can become part of a smart home and ultimately make a person a little happier. But our today's story is a little about something else.
