        I had similar problems trying to install on Oneplus 1 and followed the same recommendations for new cables without success. I suspect the problem is actually the socket in the phones that is damaged.

          That's a shame, but yes I guess hardware problems are often the case when all frequent solutions are exhausted.

            It's easy to see how the sockets can be damaged if there is any strain on the cable during charging. The power connections may be unaffected yet the data connections are bent. I only charge mine wirelessly nowadays to avoid that possibility.

              Hurra Hurra,finally managed to install it with an old laptop with antix linux on it,including deb file for ubports-installer, adb and fastboot and my new original meizu usb-cable.
              in the beginning doesn't work ,stuck on transferring data.Than changed channel to rc and everything works fine,took some time but finally its showing up on my MX4. not bad for an old man with no skills in PC,Linux and phones,but forum helps a lot and with copy and past most of I can do....
              Thanks for helping

                  Well done, my MX4 is still stuck on Canonical Ubuntu Touch. I will have to have a go with antix linux.
