Don't buy MEIZU Products !!! Dangerous and not fixable
#1
Exclamation 
Guys, this is my experience with Meizu MX4 (International version)

Tried to flash a custom recovery made by me using adb commands and after reboot phone it was stucked on Meizulogo. Bootlooped without any chance of boot OS .

Meizu Engineers have locked all !!!!!!!!


On the all android products if you fail to flash a wrong recovery you can always boot on the normal system , on MX4 not. They have locked all OS to have their recovery !!!!!!


This is a shame !!!!!


Now my phone is bootlooped and i can only have allow to boot in FASTBOOT MODE but here you can't write any commands cause "SECURITY ERROR" .

Now waiting Meizu contact me in PM and tell me how to fix from fastboot mode.

I will know you how Meizu answer.



At the moment i can say you : ATTENTION !!!


Don't buy any MEIZU Products. No MX4 , No MX4 Pro , no nothig is branded MEIZU . They sell rubbish not fixable by single user !!!!!!

Waiting their solution.
Let you know

I think is not good and is not serious for a Company that if you for some reason change or try to change the recovery the phone will brick and OS will not start anymore !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


This is a bad company, MEIZU : SHAME OF YOU !!!!!!


You know this companies :

LG
Samsung
Xiaomi
HTC
ONEPLUS
Lenovo
Huawei
and ALL OTHERS IN THE WORLD

if you try to change something using adb commands for the recovery and you fail (cause locked bootloader) you can ALWAYS boot from OS and fix problem restoring original recovery and/or you can ALWAYS reflash Stock FW using official tool from your PC or MAC .


Here with MEIZU (bad company in the world) and with this shame of MX4 if you SIMPLY loose you recovery they have worked on a bootloader that check the recovery status and if changed THE OS DON'T START ANYMORE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shame of you !


You can boot from Fastboot mode but write allow are all closed , but i'm pretty sure they could send us or make public a Restore to Stock situation starting from Fastboot state or open this LAWLESS bootloader to write recovery from fastboot to recover phone by self without send the in HK to repair !!!!!!!! With shipping and custom costs !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Guys, save your money and use them for other products and companies that don't make Die your devices if you simply try to change a recovery .

Stay away from MEIZU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bro, they have replied me .

They wrote me this:

"Dear Sir/Madam,
We are sorry that it's the only way to upgrade/reboot from the recovery mode by pressing power and Vol up. If it doesn't work, please take your phone to nearest MEIZU store or send your phone to Hong Kong for check and repair....."

so, their dictatorship is Lawless in all the world

I could fix my phone in 30 seconds if they release something to flash from Fastboot state (a stock signed recovery too) or a PC Tool to reflash all stock firmware and instead according to their words I should even send the phone in Hong Kong :lol :lol :lol

Absurd.

Simply NOT SERIOUS Company

Reply for what? The OP took it upon himself to mess with his phone. That's his choice. The manufacturer's warranty is voided, just as it would be with any brand on the planet.

Meizu has no responsibility here. If you can't accept what happens with your phone when messing around with it, don't do it. If you brick your phone or mess up your phone otherwise, it's your responsibility.

never seen a locked fastboot to be honest.

Meizu is the first company in the world that has done it.

Bye Bye Meizu.....

Thank you very much for relaying this information about one of "those" companies. It took guts to put this up, despite some of the odd negativity here.

If none of us ever played with our Android devices, pushing the limits of the hardware and software, then nothing would ever be discovered.

As for those that seem to be more on the side of a bad corporate decision which harms the individual user, maybe they should continue their pro-corporate, anti-user shamings on the Microsoft or Apple boards... after purchasing suitably closed software products from those vendors.

Being right from a legal point of view does not confer a moral high ground from which to throw barbs at those below. Meizu has made a bad decision which has caused serious issues for a member of the community, against industry norms. They should indeed, be called out for it.

Hopefully, the OP will continue to get whatever support we can provide while also giving us a play by play of how Meizu handles their bizarre fastboot lockdown.

I agree and would like to quote wolfgart:

"Bye Bye Meizu....."

That is unless, of course, they impress with how they handle their purposeful actions against users.

I'm pretty sure if you Meizu are looking at this thread, you must upload for public a signed zip for fastboot to restore MX4 and restore all devices in the world could in the future be bricked and be a problem for your Service center.

Release a signed zip for fastboot please.

Not only signed zip for OTA like at the moment you do, but it has to be a signed zip for fastboot

Those are your morals Ed. From the view of the company (indeed any electronics company in the world), don't mess with the way it came unless its an official method or update and unless you're willing to accept the results, whatever they may be.

The user took it upon himself to modify his phone. He needs to take full responsibility for that. Anytime you flash or attempt to modify your mobile or any electronic product for that matter, the results are on you and nobody else.

It may not be fast boot lockdown at all, but more likely the OP has made some mistake in flashing. Its called being bricked.

Frankly, its amazing they replied to him at all.
