This is the SP Flash Tool version of the

V3.03_20170504 firmware

for UMI(DIGI) London

Flash tool operation is recommended for experienced users only. Do not use it if you cannot understand the whole process!

UMi London receives all updates automatically via FOTA method. You need this tool only in case of emergency (if you've bricked your phone), if you want to apply a clean install or if you want to clear all root access and custom recovery to make your phone able to receive FOTA updates again.

This one is an update under the new brand name 'UMIDIGI' and it won't be available via FOTA update (due to the brand change), you can flash it only with SP Flash Tool.

UMIDIGI London is not a different model, it's just a new brand. You can update your UMi London smartphone with this ROM without risking its usability and without voiding your warranty. It is an official update for UMi London.

If you are updating an earlier version, it is recommended to flash this ROM as 'Firmware Upgrade'!

Changelog:

• New screen type added

VCOM driver: Windows 10 can automatically install it. Please make sure that your Windows is logged in with administrator rights and your computer has a working internet connection when first time connecting your phone.

Here's an optional solution to start the flashing process on your UMI London if the standard method doesn't work.

It's especially useful if your phone is bricked or is stuck in bootloop

1. Connect your UMI London to USB.

2. Start the flashing process with the Download button in the flasher app.

3. Press and keep pressed the power button of your phone until the flashing process starts (red bar appears at the bottom of the app window), then release it. In this process you have to keep the power button pressed for about 10 seconds.

4. Wait until the flashing process finishes.

I gave up and installed Android 7.1 from 4pda forum, because I got tired of the phone periodically downloading and installing adware apk's without my permission because of infected SystemUI.apk as I later found out (and you can't uninstall it even when rooted, because it is system core apk).

So far everything is working fine and now I am happy Android 7 nougat user

Hi, I have been searching for the ROM for Umidigi London 3g v3.03_20170415. However, I cannot find it anywhere and none of the ROMS provided on an official forum works for my device. It has screen and wifi issues. Could you provide a provide a fix for this ?

Thank you.

That was a mistake to flash your phone without checking your current version. If you bought your phone in 2017 January, try to flash a V3.02 ROM in Format All + Download mode. After that process, you'll have to recover your original IMEI numbers with SN Writer Tool.

I bought the phone on aliexpress at the end of January 2017 if that is any help.
At the time I tried to root it but the existing method would not work for the rom it came with and older roms did not work with this phone, so I assumed some hardware change had taken place.

Now the screen is corrupted even if I hold down VOL+ and power, or VOL-1 and power

After installing latest update (for 5002W) my screen is unreadable. I have also tried the latest w370 rom, just in case I got wrong the model, but same result. What can I do to fix this?

Yes, I also tried that version, and it goes very well.
The problem is that the battery runs out too fast.

Yes I was thinking OTA too ;)

OTA updates never work on rooted devices, so yes, you have to install a flash tool ROM. Theoretically I share the flash tool releases of all available updates here, so maybe a newer version is not available, not even via OTA.
