If you are the owner of a Chinese smartphone, sooner or later there will come a time when the device will no longer receive system updates over the air. This is a signal that it’s time to take matters into your own hands and do everything yourself. For Meizu M3s, firmware is needed if the smartphone’s performance has decreased, “glitches” have appeared, that is, in general, the entire operation of the gadget has deteriorated. The new firmware helps stabilize the system and return it to battle. Again, you will have to do this manually if the developer has stopped supplying update files. There are two possible options: directly through a mobile device or using a PC.

Even an inexperienced user can understand how to update Meizu M3s without third-party equipment; just study the detailed instructions and strictly follow them.

Download the firmware from the official website

In order for the smartphone to be updated, you need to download the update for M3s. This can be done on the official website of the developers. The Internet offers many different third-party sites with firmware files, but using them is not recommended, as this may lead to a complete failure of the phone's functions.

So, to download the official firmware version, you should go to the manufacturer’s resource and select the name of the desired model in the list of updates. The device's standard browser is quite suitable for downloading.

After the file has finished downloading, you need to check that the name and extension are correct. You need to look for the downloaded firmware in the folder " Download" or " Browser"using the built-in " Conductor" The update must be called " update.zip"and be in the archive. Under no circumstances should it be removed from the archive. This will damage the downloaded firmware.

If the name and extension are correct, then you can move the firmware file to the internal memory of the device so that the system can detect it in developer mode.

We start the smartphone in Recovery mode

Now all that remains is to signal the smartphone to start the flashing. To do this, you need to turn off the gadget, and when turning it on, open the menu “ Recovery mode» by simultaneously pressing the power key and increasing the volume. The following are two simple steps:

System Upgrade»;
Clear Data

That's all. The flashing process has started, all that remains is to wait a while.

To stabilize the operation of the smartphone after installing software updates, it is recommended to do a complete reboot. That is, when the flashing process is completed and the phone turns on the desktop, you should immediately reboot it.

For Meizu, an update can serve a good purpose and return it to its former performance and functionality.

Using a computer

If for some reason it is not possible to download the update from the Internet directly to your mobile device, there is a second way - use it to flash your PC.

It is worth noting that no one gives a guarantee for manually updating the system. That is, the user will have to perform all actions at his own peril and risk. Please note that to flash a smartphone firmware via a computer, you need the following:

The mobile device itself;
USB cable for connecting PC and smartphone. It is recommended to use only the original cord;

Download firmware

Just like in the first option, first you need to download the firmware for Meizu M3s from the official resource. You should choose only the firmware version that is suitable for your smartphone model. If you upload the wrong file by mistake, the device will turn into a “brick” after the update. Therefore, everything must be done very carefully. By the way, it is only necessary to use the manual flashing option when manufacturers have stopped offering automatic device updates from the cloud. In any other situations, it is better to give preference to an automated firmware update system. We save the firmware to the root of the memory card (micro sd) and insert it into the phone.

Checking the file name and extension

In this case, you should double-check the file name and extension. It should be called " update.zip“and nothing else, but must be strictly in the archive.

Connecting your phone in Recovery mode

The next step is to enter the developers menu. It was described above how this is done on Meizu phones (after turning off, press the power and volume buttons).

In the list that appears, select “ System Upgrade»;
From the proposed options, select " Clear Data" If there was any important data on the device, you must back it up or move it to a memory card before starting this process, otherwise it will be lost.

Firmware

All that remains is to wait for the flashing process to complete and you can enjoy the operation of the updated smartphone.

Many of us, when buying a new smartphone, feel as if it Meizu, Xiaomi, Huawei or other famous brand, always want to have the most . After all, this is, first of all, an improved version of the previous one. updates and it always carries something new and better. But wanting and installing are completely different. After all, on every smartphone, installation happens differently. For some, it arrives on its own and you update without wasting time and without using a PC. Secondly, you definitely need a PC, a cable and many programs installed on your stationary device. While on the third, using the phone they download and install directly through it.

How many ways are there to update Meizu?

Today I want to tell you about how to properly update Meizu smartphones. New firmware has recently been released for most devices. There are a couple of models that are still waiting, but they will also receive an update soon. There is information that these models do not receive their update due to the fact that the robot is working on Android 7.

And so, there istwo ways to update your smartphone:

— By air
— Manually

1. Over-the-air update

This is the easiest way. You go to the Update app and see that you have an update. You can either immediately click and update and enjoy the new updated firmware. Or listen to different opinions and advice and do a factory reset, which In some cases, it will help to avoid possible problems in the robot phone a (overheating, battery drain, etc.). To do a reset, you need to go to the “settings” of your smartphone in the “backup memory” section, find the “reset to factory settings” tab and use it. Attention! All information will be deleted from the phone: applications, contacts saved on the phone, accounts, settings. which before this it is advisable to save either on a PC or make a backup of the data. And after the reset, you can safely press the update button in the Update application. Next will be a reboot and within 15-20 minutes, you will have new firmware installed on your smartphone.

2. Manual update

Now let's move on to a more complicated option. This works both when updating to a version higher and to a version lower. For example, you have Flyme 6.1.0.0G.

And it hasn’t arrived by air yet. There is only one way out - install it manually. Using our website, you can After downloading, go to Explorer => local files Fig. 1 => Download Fig. 2. We see there the file we downloaded. Select it and choose to move. We move it to the root (simply to local files where the Download folder is located. Fig. 3). Next, click and check the box next to “Clear Data” and confirm the update. When installing an update to firmware older than yours, you don’t have to clear the “Clear Data”. But still, this is done for the correct operation of your smartphone (when you click “Clear Data”, some data from your smartphone will be deleted from applications, contacts, etc.). When rolling back or switching to a firmware that is lower than the one you have installed, you must select “Clear Data”, otherwise there may be blue screen, but there is a solution.

After you have decided how to proceed, you will still ask again, click on the firmware and wait 15-20 minutes and your phone will already be updated. Enjoy your use.

On July 10, Meizu representatives published information about the start of testing Flyme OS 6 firmware with Android Nougat. The basis for testing was the Pro 6, Pro 6s and MX6 smartphones - they meet the technical requirements of the new Flyme 6.7.7.10 daily build. The update requires 1.41 GB of memory, which corresponds to software innovations and improvements.

The assembly is based on Android 7.1.1 Nougat OS; it was originally supposed to use Android 7.0, but the new version has proven to be more promising in terms of convenience and performance. The firmware is equipped with a security patch released in June 2017. Users are already highlighting the first problems with Flyme 6. There are glitches in the main camera when working in HDR mode. Errors in the AliPay payment system. The most significant drawback is severe overheating of the device.

It is too early to draw conclusions regarding the assembly of Flyme 6. It is in the testing and development stage, so any problems that have arisen will be fixed soon. After that, Pro 6 Plus, M3E and M5 Note devices will be connected to testing, and on July 31, Pro 5, M3 Note and M3 Max are expected to be added to the list. Such diversity will allow for large-scale testing on devices of different performance and price categories.

The company is trying to create an assembly that will suit owners of Meizu devices with functionality and speed. After the completion of closed tests, open beta testing will begin, the start date of which depends on the activity of the testers. Updates for them are sent by air daily.
