Just received my 128GB phone which i bought for $157. First step is to unlock so I can install other ROM.
1) Login account on phone, enable Developer options by going Settings > My Device > All Specs > Click MIUI version 7 times
2) Go to Settings > Additional Settings > Developer Options > Mi Unlock Status. Tap on “Add Account” to bind to phone. Also enable OEM unlock option
3) Restart to fastboot (hold volume down + power button)
4) Apply for permission to unlock if you have not done before https://en.miui.com/unlock/download_en.html
5) Download Mi Unlock using the above link, unzip the contents.
6) Open miflash_unlock.exe and login to account and try to unlock, you will have 168h timer

Here mate works for me

Open a terminal emulator
Type su
Then enter the following after the #
echo -n ON > /efs/FactoryApp/factorymode
(yes ON is the correct setting to turn it off)
Then I had to reboot for the change to take effect. FYI, I had to go through initial setup after the reboot.
Often in many custom ROMS we find that GPS doesn't work or GPS takes a lot of time to fix. So here is a quick solution for fixing GPS on our Canvas 2 Plus (Will work for most MEDIATEK phones):
1. Install MobileUncleTools from the play store.
2. Go to Engineering Mode from the app.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
3. After that press “Engineer Mode (MTK).
4. Go to “Location” and then to “Location Based Services”
5. Tap on EPO and check that “Enable EPO” is enabled and then press on “EPO IDLE”
6. "EPO IDLE” will change to “EPO DOWNLOADING”, so you will need to wait few minutes to download a file.
7. After downloading is over. It will change to "EPO IDLE". Now Press back and enter YGPS:[
8. In YPGS, press HOT then FULL then AGPS RESET.
9. Enjoy!!! Your GPS should now work much better.
If your like me and are still in school you know that the schools now are "block happy". At my school they dns blocked the play store and google books and other apps and services I use everyday. So that's when I came up with this little fix here it is:
1) Download and install the latest adaway you can get it from HERE
2) Once you have adaway installed you will see a 3 dotted line unless you have a phone with a menu button
3) Then press "host sources" and delete all the sources by long pressing on them and press delete/remove
4) Then press the "+" symbol and ad the following four sources:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
5) Once everything is added and all of the sources are good go back to the main menu
6) Once in the main menu press "Download and apply"
7) DONE
Following the standard protocol:
1. Went to dev options
2. Mi Unlock Status
3. Registered the phone with my number
4. Downloaded Unlock Tool
5. Logged in into Unlock tool
But no phones show up.
I can't see how many days are left for the bootloader unlock. I know it's one week but it would be great to know the time left. I've seen in the forum some users have this info available.
What I'm missing?

Had the same problem. You need to update / download miflash_unlock-en-5.5.224.55
Lets go!
Hi, I'm having the same problem but I cannot find miflash_unlock-en-5.5.224.55 online. I've tried the check version on miflash_unlock-en-5.5.224.24 but it says that is the latest.
edit: i swapped the ".24"s in the download link on the unlock site to 55 and i got a download.
1. First setup a Meizu account on your phone, you can easily find the Meizu account option in settings
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2. Next Go to Settings > Fingerprint & security > Root Permission > click on i agree and next/continue, (this will not wipe your device, it will only restart it to apply root)
4.Download SuperSU app (from this thread), and open it
Important: After rooting, don't go to settings root permission and allow there, SuperSU itself will take control.
Note: You need to install SuperSU, because the root provided by the system isn't compatible with most apps.
5. Click on new user, then SuperSU will take some time to install.
That's it your phone is rooted.
Enjoy.
