Forgot my meizu password. How to do a Hard Reset on Meizu smartphones - reset settings to factory settings

Some MEIZU smartphone users are faced with a problem where they have registered a FLYME account on their MEIZU smartphone, but have forgotten the password when trying to unlock the device. Today I will tell you how you can recover your FLYME password.

MEIZU smartphones are becoming more and more popular in Russia, and I think many will find this article useful on how to recover the password to your FLYME account. I’ll write about my own shell for Android called FLYME for MEIZU smartphones another time, there’s also a lot of interesting stuff there. Including about its unusual and very useful features, for example, how to find a lost smartphone using FLYME.

The FLYME account will help users protect and save their data, and, if necessary, find their device. But what if you forgot your FLYME password, accidentally locked your device and now you can’t use it until you remember the password? In fact, there are several ways to recover your password.

The key parameter when registering a FLYME account is filling out the third line of the form - “Mail Security”. This is exactly how the name of the line is incomprehensibly translated, where you need to enter a backup mailbox address, to which, if something happens, you can recover the password from your FLYME account. I recommend entering an active and valid email address in this field.

In general, there are two ways to recover a forgotten FLYME password. The first, which we will consider below, is suitable both for owners of MEIZU smartphones officially sold in Russia, and for those who ordered a version of the smartphone for the Chinese market. The second method, in case the first did not work (for example, you don’t remember which email you specified as a backup), will only save those who bought the smartphone officially in Russia. It works through a remote call to the MEIZU RUSSIA service center. Does not work for versions of smartphones intended for the Chinese domestic market. How to contact support and what you will need for this is described in the official MEIZU RUSSIA forum. It is worth noting that this recovery method is quite lengthy and may take several weeks. But restoring a password to a backup email will usually take no more than half an hour, and more often - only a couple of minutes.

So, if you have forgotten your FLYME password, you need to go to cloud.flyme.cn. The site is in Chinese, alas, it has not even been translated into English at the time of writing. If you have a Google Chrome browser, I recommend downloading and installing the “Google Translate” extension, with its help you can quite correctly and clearly translate the Chinese website interface into Russian in 1 click: . Below I will post screenshots of the site with translation, if anything - you can navigate which buttons to press :) All pictures are clickable!

Click the Password Recovery button located on the right under the login and password entry form.

We find ourselves in the password recovery interface, where the system asks us to indicate our FLYME login (your email for your account looks like [email protected], where sample is the login that you came up with, the entire email address must be written in the input field). There you also need to correctly and accurately enter the CAPTCHA, symbols that check whether you are a robot.

We enter the login into FLYME and the captcha, press the big blue button, we get to the second step, where the system will notify us that password recovery will occur through a backup email (for the Chinese, recovery to a Chinese phone number would also be available, but for us this is not relevant) . We press the button.

In the third step, you need to enter your backup email address in the top line. The system will not remind you of it; you need to know it yourself. But it will check whether your intended email address is in the database (if not, a red message will appear after entering). After entering your backup email address, you need to click the “Get code” button.

If everything is entered correctly, a pop-up window will appear informing you that an email with an activation code has been sent to your mailbox and should arrive in the next 30 minutes.

I’ll add on my own behalf that sometimes the servers are overloaded and a letter with a code can arrive in either 1 minute or 30 minutes, sometimes the mail does not arrive for several hours. Check your backup mailbox, be sure to look at the SPAM folder, sometimes the letter ends up there. If the letter has not arrived for a long time (a couple of hours), you can request that the code be resent.

In the letter, the code is in the middle line - several numbers. Your account in the FLYME system will be indicated at the top.

Having received the letter, enter it in the second line and press the big blue button.

In the next window you will be prompted to enter and repeat a new password. The password must be a minimum of 8 and a maximum of 16 characters, contain Latin letters and numbers (both), and the password is case sensitive (capital or regular letters).

After entering and repeating the new password, press the left blue button (reset password).

The next page will inform you in Chinese that the password change was successful and the password has already taken effect. The new password must also be entered on your device.

I hope this article will help many users!

Important addition. In the FLYME 5 update, MEIZU has temporarily disabled FLYME accounts due to the transfer of servers from China to European countries, including Russia, as required by local legislation. During a large-scale transfer, the FLYME servers may be unstable, which is why the service was temporarily excluded in FLYME 5, but continues to work in FLYME 4, but can sometimes generate errors. MEIZU promises to complete the server move in the first half of 2016, after which the cloud service will again appear in smartphones in the next FLYME 5 device updates.

Hard Reset (hardware reset to factory settings) is needed in cases where, for example, you have forgotten the password to your Meizu smartphone, or you are selling your old phone and first want to erase all your data from the device’s memory.

When we encounter a phone lock, it causes a lot of confusion. What exactly is blocked? Smartphone bootloader? Or SIM?

What is the difference between different types of locks and why is it important?

What is unlocking

Unlocked. This word is used many times on mobile technology websites. And most people who are somehow involved in the mobile world are sure that this is good.

But is this really so? And what dangers are hidden behind custom unlocking? Is it possible to damage a smartphone irrevocably?

What is a "brick"? There were too many questions, which means it was time to sort them out.

For many of us, the words “unlocked bootloader” conjure up thoughts of wonderful, distant lands where unicorns play Half-Life 3 around a campfire at night. Or something similar.

That is, it is completely different from what this process is actually connected with.

An unlocked bootloader is important for those of us who want to change programs that have been installed on a smartphone.

Loader

A bootloader is a program that boots when the computer is turned on.

Typically it does its thing in the background and downloads things to the user's normal state, but the bootloader can also bring other interfaces such as recovery or fastboot.

This is something that first runs every time you turn on the gadget, and is usually configured so that only "official" software can be installed and will work.

Factory lock

The bootloader is locked from the factory.

This is good because in this case the user cannot make changes to the software and cannot harm his favorite gadget.

But this automatically means that there is no possibility to modify the software, which is why many of us want an unlocked bootloader.

This is where everything the user does becomes “at their own risk.”

The user cannot contact the service to solve warranty problems.

Look, most likely you will see a printed logo on the back cover of the smartphone.

It will help you understand for which cellular network operator it was produced. It is on them that the blocking of the smartphone depends, and not on the manufacturer, be it, or.

Of course, the cellular operator will be only too happy if you pass this problem on to the manufacturer, but the latter has nothing to do with it, although this is still their product.

The simplest solution to make sure that you have a device with an unlocked bootloader is to ask a consultant in the store before purchasing.

For most people, this is not a big problem. But this may be a problem for you.

SIM unlock

During the unlocking process, data from the smartphone will most likely be lost.

- Turn off Meizu M3.
- Press and hold both buttons (Volume Up + Power) at the same time until the Android recovery menu appears on the screen. Most likely, you will see a green robot with an open puddy or a robot with its arms raised in the air.
- When the robot appears, press the Volume Up key to display the Recovery menu
- Select Factory reset /wipe data (all movements are made with the volume up/down controls)
- Confirm your selection by pressing the Power button once.
- Go to Yes - delete all user data. Confirm your selection by pressing the Power button once.

Once you have done all this, press the Power button to restart your smartphone.

If the SIM lock was at the software level, it will be deactivated after erasing the data.

There are situations when you have forgotten the pattern code or password to unlock your smartphone.

In such a situation, you can use a method that is often used to recover from unsuccessful firmware.

Meizu m3 note hard reset

If you have forgotten your Meizu m3 unlock pattern, PIN or password, please note that the only option is to reinstall its firmware using the Smart phone Flash Tool.

If there is no "factory reset" option in the Recovery menu on your phone/tablet or you cannot access the Recovery menu using physical keys, you can install the software from the SD card.

The worst option is to flash the MTK chipset using the software package.

It's not easy, but it's the only option to bring your smartphone back to life and make it fully functional again.

Follow the instructions to flash Meizu m3. It will also be described below how to reset the device to factory settings using the SP Flash tool or ADB Android Debug BridgeFlash.

How to update firmware on Meizu M3 Note

You can update, install and reinstall stock or custom firmware on your device using two different methods.

One of them is using an SD card. The second is by connecting the smartphone to the PC and using the Smartphone SP Flash tool.

If your device supports updating from an SD card, you can copy custom firmware files to it.

It is important that they are located in the root directory of your SD card. Insert the card into the device, enter it into download mode, and the gadget will begin updating.

Earlier in this review, we described how to put your phone into Recovery mode.

If you have copied the correct firmware version to your SD card, the update will begin automatically and usually only takes a few minutes.

But what to do if you cannot update Meizu m3 using an SD card? Will your phone remain locked?

Download SP Flashtool and extract it to the root folder on your PC.
Download the latest firmware or custom ROM for your device and extract it to a folder on your PC. You can find Meizu m3 note ROM files on the official website of your device. Also, a huge variety of custom firmware can be found on thematic forums.
Turn off your phone and remove the battery. (Note: in most cases, you have to remove the battery during a firmware update, when connecting the device to a PC, and if the PC does not recognize the phone, try the same manipulations with the battery inserted. Do not forget to install the drivers first)
On the Download tab, find the Scatter-loading button.
A submenu will open. Find the txt file with the name of the firmware. The correct firmware name will have the following format: MT6572_Android_scatter.txt
Click on the “Download” button, remove the battery from the phone, and only then connect the device to the computer using a USB cable. Enter the phone into firmware mode.
Wait for the flash firmware procedure to complete. Do not under any circumstances disconnect your smartphone from your computer while flashing the firmware. You risk getting a “brick”. A green checkmark indicates that everything went well.

You did it. Turn off your phone and insert the battery. Now you can turn on your phone and it will boot into normal mode.

If this was not enough, you will have to go through the ROM update procedure:

Download the universal Android driver and install it on your PC if you haven't already. Open Windows Device Manager to check if the driver is installed correctly. Please use the latest drivers.
Download SP Flashtool and extract it to a folder.
Download the firmware ROM file for your phone and extract it to a folder on your PC.
Turn off your phone and remove the battery. (Note: in most cases, you have to remove the battery during a firmware update, when connecting the device to a PC, and if the PC does not recognize the phone, try the same manipulations with the inserted battery).
Find and open the flash_tool.exe application on your PC.
Select the Format tab.
Click the Start button. Do not touch the other settings, otherwise you may end up with a “bricked” device (a completely inoperative device with a damaged bootloader that cannot be restored without contacting a service center).

If you did everything correctly, the firmware process will begin, after which you will receive a fully unlocked, functional device.
