Following that link it starts with the caveat that you need an "'A' 
version of MX4".  Can someone explain what this means?  How many 
different versions of the MX4 are there?

"About this phone" just reports "Meizu MX4 Ubuntu Edition".

I wanted to switch my phone to Android months ago but after reading 
about it carefully, came to the conclusion that there are different 
kinds of MX4 and mine wasn't compatible with most of these howtos. It's 
a Chinese version, whereas most MX4s described on English-language 
boards seem to have been produced later.  Also while I appreciate the 
efforts of "Naphtha", the instructions are not quite detailed or precise 
enough to inspire confidence.  It seemed too risky so I gave up.
