You don't need any tutorials, just download the firmware you need and open it in the file manager. That's it. Any global phone may have Chinese firmware installed at any time with no additional operations needed. You can switch between versions any time you want.
Alternatively, you can place the firmware (update.zip) into the root of your SD card and install it from the recovery mode, but it's not necessary unless you want to pass the clearing data, which I would advise you to do. | |

You literally can't go wrong with any method, Meizu made sure of that. You can only flash genuine Flyme ROM which can only be flashed if the phone's recovery has checked it's checksum and confirmed it as genuine. So don't worry and flash in whatever way you see easier for you. If you try to flash directly from the OS itself by opening the downloaded update.zip, it will tell you if it is necessary to wipe a data or not, so there is literally no way for you to make something wrong.
Last time I used the second method (flashed from the recovery) because the first method would not allow me to flash without a wipe and I wanted to save my data, so I had to use the recovery in order to bypass that. Still, even though the update app told me it is strongly recommended that I wipe my data upon upgrading and I didn't, it is still working perfectly fine for me except some problems that are just unfixable for a moment, namely the incorrect work of google maps API in the third-party apps which makes it impossible to use some apps dependent on that API like Uber. It is a problem but it is pretty much an inevitable compromise you have to make when you are planning to use a Meizu phone because global ROMs are inherently worse than Chinese ones, and you can cube it in case of Pro 6 Plus. | |

If you root the device the update app will likely force you to wipe your data on update, so I would not recommend to root. In case you already rooted and wish to save your data, use the second method as it allows you to uncheck the wipe checkbox in the recovery mode which is impossible via the first method.
As I said before, if you have a global device you can install both global and Chinese ROMs without restriction. You can switch whenever you want. | |
