Upgrade Firmware Meizu M3sI just got my Meizu M3s (from US stock), and I noticed that the firmware is a few versions old.
I currently have 5.1.5.2A but want to see if I can install 5.1.12.0G. I have downloaded the firmware file from the official flymeos site and transferred to my phone, but it does not recognize it, perhaps because one is the CN/US version and the new one is the Global version. Can someone help me on upgrading? Is it adviseable to upgrade from A to G? If not, can I get the latest A version somewhere? What are the steps for upgrading? Will I lose all my data/se | |

if the phone is a version you can have some problems to update with the g version. if your phone is g version download the g version from the site and open the file with the file Manager. if you want to use the Flyme a version download it from the Flyme.cn site or find it on the forum.

and use the option to erase your data, or you can have problems post upgrade.

vinnybear create on 2017-01-14 12:25 you can make a backup with the backup app that are included with the Flyme or can use one of your choice. | |

Fastbyte01 replied at 2017-01-14 17:01 Okay thanks. I have downloaded the firmware file and it is saved on my phone "update.zip". I am unable to process the update though. How do I proceed? Thanks! | |

Fastbyte01 replied at 2017-01-14 20:49 does it matter where the file is stored? i locate the file with File Manager and tap it, and I am just prompted to: open it with ES Zip Viewer, Extract, or View. Those are my only options. It has a zip icon and not an update flyme icon. I'm not sure what I may be doing wrong, but thanks for your help. | |
