Hi all. I will try to write an tutorial for all who want to root your new update firmware.
First lets consider that you have updated your firmware and booted at least one time.
Now what we need is: one PC,cable to conect your phone to PC, and 2 tools: TWRP 2.7.1.1 for KK and Superuser or SuperSU at least 2.16, no less.
Lets begin.
1. Connect your phone to your PC and install phone drivers correctly.
2. Copy superuser.zip or SuperSU on your SDCARD. Remember: only one is good. DO NOT FLASH BOTH. Flash the one you like.
3. Disconnect your phone from PC.
4. Extract files from TWRP 2.7.1.1 or the newest one TWRP 2.8.4.0 rev 2 archive on some folder on your PC.(Remember the folder )
5. In your folder that you extracted your archive you should find recovery.img and one scatter file.
6. Now you must have this FlashTool - SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1304.0.119 or SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1352.01. Not Optional.
7. Power Off your phone.
8. After power off your phone open FlahTool and browse for the scatter file your folder where are the recovery.img and scatter file.
9. Now comes the tricky part .
10. Load the scatter file and mark DA DL with check sum in SP Flash Tool v3. In SP Flash Tool v 5 dont need. They are allready selected. Recovery.img should appear checked.
10.1. I have updated the post with some custom scatter files for 4GB and 8GB Firmware. Iff you get diferent errors when you flash the recovery file use this custom scatter files.
11. Press Download NOT FIRMWARE UPGRADE.
12. Now, just now plug the cabble on your phone. Download should start and a green circle should appear.
13. After this you should have custom recovery TWRP installed.
14. Then boot directly to recovery your phone by pressing power with vol + and vol - butons together. Not Optional!
15. From TWRP flash Superuser.zip or SuperSU 2.xx. SuperSU is fixed. Works fine now.
16. Voila you have your KitKat rooted.
17. Now go to Magazin Play and download an RootChecker app and verify.
Hope this helped. For me worked with no mistake.
Waiting for feedback.
Update:
I have uploaded TWRP Corrected by Javum. Thanks Javum. And it is working on ROW 226 and 227 tested personaly by installing patches, superuser and making backups.

If the 12 point doesn't work it means that you don't have the driver installed or installed correctly. Check the drivers.

Your phone seems to be produced in 2014. For this phones must do this:
1. Must flash with another preloader.
Look for this ROM : P780_S136_140306_Lang.7z
Flash this Rom then OTA update.
Then tell me if it works.

Hi all as the title suggests is there anyone who has a fairly detailed Unbricking guide or a way to reflash the stock meizu software via fastboot, QFIL or anything that has worked.
The current problem I face is I have the m6 note with Chinese firmware and wanted to flash global firmware via flash fire as the TWRP APK didn't work for me . I can't enter recovery and fastboot gives me a failed message (remote: partition flashing is not allowed ).
Thank you in advance

hi thanks @consumimur , but the first method is for mediatek devices isn't it? The second method doesn't work for me at all because i can't enter my recovery , i need some sort of flashing too QFIL doesn't work for well at the the one i tried (2.0.0.5) as it ask for "Rawprogram.xml" and "patch* " which is not in the update.zip

Folks, today I've had the fortune to brick (corrupting the devinfo partition, screwing up recovery and OS boot as well) and unbrick (stock recovery and OS restored and working perfectly) my Meizu M6 Note without opening it up. If anyone is still interested, instructions are here:

Hi, I have a problem with my m6 note. I have WIFI MAC address between 2: 00: 00: 00: 00: 00 and I can not turn on wifi. I found a solution to upload persist.img and this should help. However, I can not find the persist.img file anywhere. Can you help?

thank you so much for this @consumimur. It saved me from going down a rabbit hole, after getting a bootloop with meizu x8 m852h, having followed these instructions:
Meizu X8 - Обсуждение - 4PDA
Meizu X8 - Обсуждение, Смартфон, 6.2"

Download (litter, files lost) archive and unpack to the root of the C drive
Charge your phone at least 50%
Disable signature verification using the following instructions:
For WINDOWS 7-8: Run Command Prompt as administrator, execute two commands in turn and reboot
Code:
bcdedit.exe -set loadoptions DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON
For WINDOWS 10: press start, hold shift, press shutdown computer. The computer will boot into a recovery screen. Select custom boot options and disable driver signature verification.
PS personally, I recommend installing on win7 or 8.1 - less haemorrhoids
Install QFIL
Install Qualcomm 9008 driver
Install standard drivers from the phone (connect to the computer in the CD-drive mode and install from there)
Run QFIL and select "flat build"
Select programmer: "prog_firehose_ddr.elf"
Select XML: "rawprogram0.xml"
Select XML: "patch0.xml"
Turn off the phone
Clamp VolUp + VolDn + Power
The Meizu icon appears, followed by a black screen. The keys can be released.
Connect your phone to your computer. It should be detected as Qualcomm 9008.
Press DOWNLOAD
QFIL is very moody about the system and drivers. If you did everything correctly, but you get an error while flashing, then you need to try it on another computer. Preferably on where windows was recently installed ...
When FINISH is written in QFIL, you can turn off the phone and restart it by holding down the power key until it vibrates.
For WINDOWS 7-8: Run Command Prompt as Administrator, execute two commands in turn and reboot
Code:
bcdedit.exe -set loadoptions ENABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING OFF
I did this with the QFIL archive linked in https://4pda.to/forum/index.php?act=findpost&pid=88712568&anchor=Spoil-88712568-6
and received a bootloop on meizu x8 m852h. Then I did what @consumimur wrote
I did this on a windows 10 machine
I did this on a w10 machine
This is unbrick firmware. Enjoy free. Download Unbrick Meizu M6 firmware.
Hi everybody , today I will share very easy way to unbrick your Lenovo Vibe Shot Z90a40 device .
In my case this device was bricked while instaling custom twrp recovery and custom android 7 OS I got device in that state so the problem was that you are unable to flash your device in diagnostic 9006 mode with to many read only partitions , which I was unable to format or delete in read only state , but actually the problems was not it those partition at all, is about to get
HS-USB QDLoader 9008 mode so you can flash stock firmware on it .
Preparing Steps to do before we start :
1. Disable or remove your Antivirus (because sometimes antivirus can block instaling drivers , ports or running flash tool)
2. Uninstall all the previous drivers you used for flashing or unbrick use free tool called USBDeview
for 32 bit users:
https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usbdeview.zip
for 64 bit users:
https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usbdeview-x64.zip
3. Put your windows in Test mode
To put your Windows in test mode just Run As Administrator Command Prompt and insert one of the following command:
bcdedit -set testsigning on ( to enable test mode)
bcdedit -set testsigning off ( to disable test mode)
Or Disable driver signature

6. Install first right Qualcomn driver download from here :

7. Install Lenovo USB driver download from here :
https://lenovousbdriver.com/tutorial/install-lenovo-usb-driver
8. Install Qpst (Qfil flash tool) download from here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1Sms71Oe6FIVTRwbWpSdEZfM2c/view
9. Install Minimal ADB & Fastboot 1.4.2 command tool download from here
(while you start installing tool check to be in desktop is easy )
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120698566
in order to install run ADB & Fastboot 1.4.2.exe with Administrator and just write y and hit enter for all .
10. Download twrp recovery for fastboot flashing and extract to Desktop, download from here :
http://lenovo-forums.ru/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=56391
11. Download stock firmware for QPST Flashing ( inside is drivers and tools also but don't use that one's ) download from here :
https://cloud.mail.ru/public/HCn4/auVy8DVo1
Also extract stock recovery for later one inside adb folder
12. Very important is to use Original usb cable ! otherwise your device won't be recognized property!
13. Make sure your battery is charged if you are not sure put in charger for about 2 hours in charger on in pc!
If your device immediately show up Lenovo logo just hold Vol - and power button together release power button once is rebooting put keep holding Vol - it should be black screen now with white indicator while is charging if not , repeat this proces without charger. This is secure because if you let your phone to be charged with Lenovo logo device will be hot and probably the lcd will hot burning effect !!!
So Let's start
1. Make sure your device is OFF first !
2. Hold Vol + and Vol - buttons together in order to enter into FastBoot mode and hold it like that plug usb and see if windows is detecting your device then release buttons.
3. Now once the drivers are successfully installed run Minimal ADB & Fastboot tool .
4. Write command :
fastboot device and press Enter
(you should see your device available )
5. Now write :
fastboot flash recovery (drag inside command tool with mouse "recovery.img" extracted from stock recovery from preparing steps on 11.) and press Enter
6. Next write each command one by one :
fastboot erase cache and press Enter
fastboot erase system and press Enter
7. Now unplug your device from PC.
8. Enter to Lenovo stock recovery by holding 3 buttons :
Vol + & Vol - & Power button at the same time , release just power button once your device vibrate .
Once you see Lenovo MAIN MENU screen press on ''wipeuser data" and wipe each one ,
one by one :
fuse wipe data ( press on YES )
fuse format data ( press on YES )
wipe cache ( press on YES )
Now there is two method for fix :
#First method - Flashing ota firmware from stock recovery
This method is from forum.lenovo.com which doesn't work for me is fail at 49% probably because S208 is old version which is maybe not allowed because I flashed recovery from S363 firmware I don't know but you can try .
1. You need 4 gb or more micro SD card , also make sure is formatted with Fat 32 .
2. Download Z90a40_USR_S208_1507141216_Q2020131.4_ROW_OTAFull.zip, rename it to "update.zip"
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8CarqWdS9gZZmJmVGp6NkFWRlk/view
3. Copy it to micro SD card again 4 GB or more !
4. Go into recovery menu:
- turn off the phone
- hold both vol+ and vol- buttons
- power on phone, keep both vol+ and vol- keys pressed until it enters recovery
5. From recovery menu choose install update package
After that go back and press on "poweroff"
#Second method - Flashing stock firmware with Qfil
1. Hold Vol + & Vol - buttons and plug usb cable to enter into fastboot mode and open Minimal ADB & Fastboot to again .
2. Now to put your device in EDL mode and open HS-USB QDLoader 9008 for flashing write this command:
fastboot reboot edl and press Enter
Now you should see that your device is detected like "HS-USB QDLoader 9008" so wait for instalation of that driver.
If you are unable to reboot into EDL mode , flash twrp.img from "twrp/img" folder .
In order to flash twrp recovery probably you need to unlock bootloader , but try first without unlocking if is not flashing then unlock bootloader , if is flashing without unlocked bootloader skip this!
https://www.cyanogenmods.org/forums/topic/unlock-bootloader-android-phone-using-fastboot/
To do that just write :
fastboot flash recovery (drag inside command tool with mouse "twrp.img" from " twrp/img" folder ) and press Enter
3. Once is installed go to QPST directory in my case "C:\QPST\bin" and Run as Administrator "QFIL.exe."
.
Rest you have here here explained ...
https://www.gsmhelpful.com/2017/07/how-to-flash-lenovo-vibe-shot-z90a40-with-qfil-flash-tool.html
If for some reasons flashing is fail , plug usb in another usb port USB 2.0 (recommended) and repeat process.
DOWNGRADE from Marshmallow 6.0.1 to Lolipop 5.1
For those one's who want to downgrade device back to Lolipop try this at your own risk !!!
