Meizu smartphones differ from other phones in that the buyer can root without losing the factory warranty. Why do you need this root and what does it give? In general, why delve into the phone if everything works well? I'll tell you more about this.

What is root?

Educational program for beginners. In general, the term “root” in the Linux environment is given to the so-called “superuser”. In simple human language, this is Account with expanded access to files. Full access to all features.

Android may be an open system, but most manufacturers limit access to system resources. Rather, not out of greed, but out of concern for the user, so that people don’t accidentally spoil anything, and they don’t violate security, so that they don’t inadvertently damage files or parameters necessary for work. Otherwise the phone will stop loading and working. So for most phones, gaining root access will automatically void your warranty.

In the case of Meizu, everything is different, but more on that below, but for now there are a few additional terms if you want to know a little more about root.

Root access comes in 3 types: Full - permanent access to system folders and settings; Shell is a trimmed version of Full Root, so as not to destroy anything important; Temporary - this root only works until the device is rebooted.

In general, we have read the text up to this point and are thinking: “No warranty, problems with the device, different levels of access, why do I need all this?” They laugh at Android users that they need complete freedom, so Root gives it, complete freedom. You can remove standard icons and applications, completely remove them, and not disable them, hiding them from the menu! In fact, everything depends on imagination and knowledge of code, and the availability of applications.

You can install special firmware on a rooted phone, and you can revive a phone that has been killed by firmware. It turns out to be a kind of construction kit for those who like to delve into the device and customize the device for themselves throughout the program.

However, you need to understand that if you delete some important system file or applications, the smartphone may begin to work unstable, glitch, freeze, quickly discharge, and in the worst case, become bricked, which is why you will have to visit a service center. Therefore, without extreme necessity and without self-confidence, root is better not to receive, especially from Russian versions MEIZU smartphones there is no need to remove “unnecessary” applications - they simply don’t exist.

Meizu and root

Now let's move on to Meizu. We said above that Meizu maintains a factory warranty for phones with root access.

After the release of Flyme OS 5.1.2.0G, the company’s servers began to be transferred to Europe, and at the same time, both root and Flyme accounts were cut out from the international version of the firmware. But this can all be solved quite simply, the procedure does not take much time.

On this moment this is not a problem, you need to do the following.

Go to Settings - Security - Installing software from unknown sources, we allow such operations by moving the lever.

To get root, download the MzAccount application and install this MzAccount.apk file. IF ON YOUR SMARTPHONE, for more new firmware than 5.1.2.0G, ALREADY HAVE A USER CENTER APPLICATION OR A MEIZU ACCOUNT- no need to install the apk file from the link! Let's move straight to the next step!

Then open the MzAccount application on your phone, go to the Login/Register section and enter your data from your Flyme account, activate the Internet connection and click “Login”. If you don’t have a Flyme account yet, register there.

After connecting to the servers, we think about whether we need synchronization and phone search, if not, then uncheck the boxes and click Finish.

After manipulating the application, go to Settings and open the Security section, it should appear at the bottom new line Root access, select it.

The text of the agreement will open, scroll to the end, click Accept and Ok, you will need to enter the password for your Flyme account again, after which the smartphone will reboot. After the restart, superuser rights appear, and that’s the whole operation.

According to rumors, the move to new servers will last another 3-5 months, so this method remains relevant for now.

If your firmware is not 5.1.2.0G, but older, then rooting is even easier.

First of all, you need to log into your Flyme account; if you don’t have one yet, then create one. The path is: Settings - Accounts - Flyme account. After logging into your account, click on the Personal Settings section, look for the item Open access to the system, select Ok, accept the warnings, and enter the password for your Flyme account again. After confirming the password, as in the first option, the device will reboot, after which Root rights will work. You can check the success of the operation there, in personal settings Flyme account.
