How to Root Meizu M3 Note without PC

Meizu M3 Note runs Android 5.1 Lollipop skinned with the company’s own Flyme OS. Like most smartphones these days, M3 Note has the app drawer integrated with homescreen. The smartphone uses a highly customized version of Android, with everything from app icons to notification panel which is different from what they are in usual Android phones. The phone doesn’t even have key with the ‘back’ icon, and instead offers the arrow on top left of the screen like iOS devices. 

The device is pretty much interesting & fun to explore. The best part that attracted me was the inbuilt Root features. This means, the device comes pre-rooted & you just have to enable it by following few steps which are pretty easy to follow unlike any other rooting tutorials.
