        @speedracer08861 It was Chinese version days ago , 99% like-new status .

        I found 3 huge challenge while loading UT

        1. Changing it to international version
        2. Unlock bootloader
        3. Repartition 4 partions
        4. Make fingerprint work.

            @Stefano you can do this regarding the fingerprint reader, I did it on 16.04:

            Meizu Pro 5, Meizu Pro 5, Meizu Pro 5, Meizu Pro 5 (Yes I have 4 of them)
            Never forget that they are much more ideas inside two heads than in one...

              @Daelaam Also, some people with Td-lte have problem with wifi not remembering password. They might complain about it later on.

                the chinese version of this phone has many problems such as the call quality dropping as the conversation gets longer. The other problem is that the battery's fast drain and overheating issue. Have you been able to fix that? $300 for the chinese version is way to expensive. THere is no wya to change it to the internation version if you have the chinese version. THe radios are also different, the processors are different. xda did an article on this and so did the ubuntu touch forums. I would have to find it so you can see all of the differences.

                  @speedracer08861 Strange, I had to replace my mother board on my Pro5, I got one from AliExpress in chinese version, after a lot of try, I was able to root the phone, change a partition and transformed it to international. The phone call are working fine, I have 4G LTE and H (in France), the battery is during 1d 1/2, no over heating.

                        @speedracer08861 AFAIK the processors are the same , samsung 8 core,
                        I am agree with you that radio and modern thing itself is problematic .
                        I checked this post
                        https://forums.ubports.com/topic/929/update-meizu-pro-5-baseband

                        some people are ok with td-lte version , maybe it is vary and depends on the country and carrier.
