The Meizu M5 (MT6750, M1611/M1611-verified) is popular for its value and reliable hardware but faces persistent problems for many users. The most common issues include bootloop after updating, complete signal/IMEI failure (“unccorect IMEI” no SIM detected), battery draining faster than expected, and Google Play Store errors. Many encounter laggy UI or crashing apps after firmware corruption, and a few report dead or bricked devices from failed flashes. Upgrading to official stable files—such as Flyme 5.2.10.3G, 5.2.10.5G—has fixed overheating, signal dropout, battery and IMEI recognition bugs for most users. Recovery firmware is especially critical for restoring a phone that won’t boot or accept SIM cards.
