Meizu Pro 5 Flyme OS To Ubuntu Touch + modem Update + Fingerprint Function.

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

Stefano

@dobey Ahh, ok then, did not know that. Thanks for the clarification.

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 !!!

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

@matteo Hi, Mine is a TD-LTE Version.

@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.

@matteo thatś not normal, didi you try a clean install.

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...
