THIS VERSION OF DFU TOOL WORKS ONLY FOR M6SL. IF YOU HAVE A SP OR TP VERSION (check the first 4 characters of the serial number on the back of your meizu), PLEASE REFER TO THE FAQ.
Thanks to a person here in the forum, i've received a version of DFU TOOL that works with S5L8700A02 Samsung ARM9 chip mounted on M6SL. This version appears to be more complicated than the precedent ones, with much more options, and it's made to work with any device wich has this chip. So i have spent my sunday afternoon trying to understand how this version of DFU TOOL works, and how to make it compatible with M6SL. And finally i think i've reached the goal.
I've tested the result two times on my M6SL using Win XP SP2, loading first 2.004.4 and then 2.004.5 firmware with DFU TOOL, and in both cases was a success.
But i have used my M6SL as a tester, because it was working perfectly before using the recovery program, so i don't know if this procedure works also on a broken M6SL. Anyway i'm not responsible of its use.
(Update: as you can see in the following posts, this method works also on a broken M6SL)
This version of DFU TOOL seems to be much more stable than the precedent for SP or TP (no need to try many times before it works). I don't know if it's Vista compatible.
Here how it works:
1. Extract the zip file to desktop.
2. Copy 'M6SL.EBN' to the extracted folder.
3. Power off M6SL. Hold down the 'M' button, then press and hold down 'Play' button. Continue to hold down these two buttons simultaneously while connect the player to the pc with the usb cable. Windows will detect your player as a DFU device. Now you can stop to keep pressed the buttons.
4. Windows New Hardware Wizard appears asking you if you want to install automatically or using a specific location (advanced). Select the advanced option, and put :
C:\(path to the extracted folder)
\Driver
Windows must now recognise your M6SL as "Blues USB DFU"
5. Open DFU Manager. Be sure that there is only one device: "Device 1 = S5L8700 Rev.2". If not so, you have connected the M6SL to an usb hub. Disconnect or power off other usb devices connected to your pc like printer, ecc. You should get a screen like the one below that i have posted.
6. Press 'Download'. (Unlike from the previous version of the program, no anymore need to keep pressed any buttons on the M6)
7. When the 'Download' and 'Abort' buttons become gray, wait 1 or 2 minutes to be sure, then physically remove the usb cable from your PC. Perform a hard reset (Press and hold both "Play" + "|<<" buttons). After that,
if a green screen appears saying 'No Resource! Please Upgrade Resource Again!', don't turn off the M6SL but reconnect it to PC →→ Copy correct resource.bin inside the M6SL →→ Unplug the usb cable from your pc →→ Power off M6SL →→ Power on
8. If the resource fail to install press and hold "Play" + ">>|" buttons and format the player, then try installing the resource.bin again.
If you want to try, let me know if it works
NOTES:
Some people tell me that the procedures to perform a hard/soft reset and to format the player are different from a M6SP or TP version. For a M6SL, follow these istructions:
-
To Format the Player: Power off the player. Press and hold down first
"Play" and then
">>|" buttons. Keep pressed the two buttons simultaneously until a yellow screen appears.
-
To Perform a Hard Reset: Power off the player. Press and hold down first
"Play" and then
"|<<" buttons. Keep pressed the two buttons simultaneously until a purple screen appears.
-
To Perform a Soft Reset: Power off the player. Press and hold down the
"Play" button for about 20-30 seconds until, after a black screen, "loading" reappears on the display.
