Hi everyone,
I have some weird root on my Meizu Pro 5 with 5.1.6.0 G. Root permissions are ON in the Settings/Fingerprint and Security/Root Permission/ . I have a list of apps with Allow permission, including SuperSU, BusyBox, Root Explorer and Terminal Emulator. When I launch any of these apps for the first time I get a prompt for permission and I choose Allow.
However, Root checker does not recognize the root and Kingroot failed to root the device. When I boot device into fastboot to unlock the bootloader to install TWRP, I see "Fastboot [locked, rooted]" message. Whenever I try to use "su" command in the Terminal it returns access denied or something similar. SuperSU app fails to update the binary, although, ES Explorer has root access to explore files.
I tried to Reset to factory settings - same issue
Tried to Factory reset + Format internal storage and test root on clean device without even restoring from a backup - same issue
Tried to flash update.zip from File Explorer and from Recovery itself - firmware corrupt and does nothing.
Not sure when and what went wrong. I updated to 5.1.6.0G via terminal commands, hence I had su access with no problems.
Do you have any ideas? Now I just want to revert to the original state of the device and repeat the rooting from scratch, but unable to do so since any firmware I tried was "corrupt" and terminal does not let to use commands.
P.S. After "Factory reset + Format internal storage" in the very first boot of the device I noticed that Root access was already ON, even though I skipped the Flyme account login step. The phone is working fine - no bootloops, not bricked. Even Xposed is installed and working fine. The only issue is with the root, which appears to be incomplete.
