          @rubencarneiro I just switched channel to Devel and fingerprint function is gone. Normal switching on phone, not by installer or manually.

            @Stefano It doesn't matter. Switching channels is a full flash of the rootfs, so changes made to the rootfs will be overwritten.

                Hi,

                I have an International Meizu PRO 5 32Gb

                Everything worked, except STEP 5 (I'm not sure why).

                My Alternative Step 5 was (thank to Matteo in the UBports Welcome & install group on telegram):

                • download the appImage: https://github.com/ubports/ubports-installer/releases/tag/0.2.6-beta (this specific version/binary)
                • cd ~/Downloads
                • chmod +ax ubportsinstaller.appImage
                • switch phone to fastboot (adb reboot fastboot or just hold [Volume down] + [power]
                • sudo ./ubportsinstaller.appImage
                • Ignore the ubports installer about more recent version
                • Select 16.04, then devel or stable for example, then wipe, and continue
                • keep following instructions
                • tadaa \o/

                And any other steps worked !

                Thank you very much for your work !!!

                -t

                    Can you explain why you offer for download your files? I need open source or more verification files. Thanks

                        @rubencarneiro do you have any issue as for instance the lack of automatic connection to the wi-fi Access Point at phone start-up? Every time, I need to manually re-instate the credentials to my home wi-fi to get connected to it.

                            Hello, ever though it is an old topic, I have done the modem update recently as I had an issue with the long switching time between WiFi and 4g (or no switching at all). Problem only is that since I have no hotspot possibility any more, which was working flawless before. what can be done to restore this?

                              Hi @swisskoala
                              Yes this is a very old thread.
                              It's better if you create a new one in the dedicated Meizu category.

                              You can refer to this thread so people know what you're refering to.
                              Also specify what is your initial issue as updating the modem might not have been the right move to begin with...
