From G version to A version and vice versaCurrently, I run latest (that's a joke but anyway) G version and I'm seriously considering moving to A version for all the obvious reasons.
Is there a guide for that? Also, If and when I wish to return back to using again the G version (from A), is there anything I must know about? | |

.if your model is 721h the proccess is simple .no id changing is required .there are 2 ways of doing it through stock recovery and through the file manager the G recovery is smaler than the A recovery the G firmware zip file is smaler than the A so when you are in G and want go to A the firmware size is biger than the recovery size you can only go from G to latest A use 2nd method with file manager this is not an issue when moving from A to G 1st method .for A go to https://www.flyme.cn/firmwarelist-143.html.for G go to http://www.flymeos.com/firmwarelist?modelId=94&type=1 .download latest beta or stable(named trial) flyme 7 CN . have in mind not to select Q or M but the A version .make sure you have at least 2,4GB of free space in your internal storage .put update.zip you downloaded in the base of your interal storage .not in sd card , not inside a folder just the base of internal storage .kepp the name update.zip it is important for the system to understand it as an update file .navigate with the stock file manager to that fiile .when you hit it it is automaticaly identified as an update file from system .you are prompted to select if you also want to wipe data or only update .select both .phone reboots to recovery .after a while you are updated .remember to delete the rom file to fre up space you no longer need it 2nd method using your pc go to https://www.flyme.cn/firmwarelist-143.html for A and ., http://www.flymeos.com/firmwarelist?modelId=94&type=1 for G .download latest beta or stable(named trial) flyme 7 CN . have in mind not to select Q or M but the A version .hold down power offf .press restart .hold down vol up & power buton .your phone vibrate and you see the meizu logo .release keyes. .phone enters recovery .conect phone to pc .a recovery folder apears to pc(its size is 2GB when you are G and 2,4GB when you are on A rom .move update.zip from pc to recovery folder .tic both update and clear data on phone .hit start .after a while phone boot up updated .the update.zip file automaticaly deleted from system | |

User5207232056 create on 2018-06-04 03:35 yeah flashed the Chinese rom by just downloading the zip file and updating through the file manager. I had to go back to global rom though as i had problem with Google play store. Flyme 7 is really beautiful. | |
