      @Lakotaubp That's the idea! 🙂 Will this also resolve the FAILED (remote: unknown command) issue?

      I think I'm actually going to try @AlainW94's modified code first, as as far as I can tell it seems like ubports-installer is just trying to reboot the phone into recovery, but Meizu phones don't support that in the way it's trying to do it.

        Exactly

          @AlainW94 Just as a side note before I move forward with this - is there a way to download the source for a snap package, a bit like apt source? Or should I just pull it from GitHub?

            @jamieweb pull it from github, here are my personal notes when I did it :

            git clone https://github.com/ubports/ubports-installer.git
            cd ubports-installer
            npm run-script dist:linux
            ./setup-dev.sh
            npm start

                  @AlainW94 Now I'm working on being able to use the device without using the lock button (https://forums.ubports.com/topic/2462/ut-on-meizu-mx4-without-using-physical-buttons/15). Just set up adb shell and monitoring dbus for the right commands to lock+sleep the phone using a launcher icon rather than the physical button.

                  Also @AlainW94, I'm working on a blog article about my whole UT setup experience. Would I be OK to include a section on your ubports-installer code change? I will give full and clear credit with your name, Twitter, own blog, whatever you want.

                    @jamieweb Of course, no problem at all if that can help other people experiencing this with their Meizu 😉 If you need help for your script, please post in your original thread and I will try to help you. Good job.

                          @AlainW94 I'm just working on my article now. Which credit would you like me to give? Do you have a website, Twitter, etc that you'd like a link to? As well as a link to your forum profile?

                                  @jamieweb Thanks Jamie good article, should prove very useful and helpful. Couple of very small things with my Ubports hat on that you are probably aware of, one that the UBports foundation is not yet incorporated into German law and that other versions of the installer are available https://github.com/ubports/ubports-installer. That aside once again thank you for your time and effort in writing the blog really enjoyed it.

                                    @Lakotaubp Thanks for the feedback! Regarding those two things - do you want me to clarify the UBports Foundation bit in the article, or is this not a concern for now? Also, I will add a link to the other versions of the installer.

                                      @jamieweb Thank you. Might help if you do clarify, maybe in a similar way the the linked page does, but I leave that upto you. Thanks again for the work.
