bencebacsi

This is the SP Flash Tool release of the

V1.0_20210714 system software

for UMIDIGI A11 4GB/128GB

Flash tool operation is recommended to experienced users only. If you are not yet an experienced flash tool user, please carefully read the flash tool tutorial before proceeding, and strictly follow each instruction.

Except if an authorized or responsible expert directly asked you to do that,

never format the flash chip of your device or you instantly lose your warranty!

UMIDIGI A11 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. Moreover, flashing with SPFT is the only option to repair (replace) damaged system software.

Changelog:

• P-sensor optimized
• Minor bug fixes
  

FOTA version: UMIDIGI_A11_V1.0_20210714_20210714-1743

ROM: >>> UMIDIGI_A11_4GB_V1-0_20210714.rar <<<

Extract the .rar file before use. The scatter file (MT6765_Android_scatter.txt) is inside the extracted folder, together with the other components

SPFT: SP_Flash_Tool_v5.2136.rar

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 UMIDIGI A11 if the standard method doesn't work.

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

1. Connect your phone to USB.

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

3. Press and hold 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.

Kind request from users:
Please report any kind of new issues you experience after installing this update only if you've already flashed this ROM with SP Flash Tool in Firmware Upgrade mode. In rare cases a FOTA update can cause more or less serious malfunctions but that means only the update process went wrong, not a badly developed ROM. An updated stock ROM, especially related to the basic functions will not cause any new issues but will solve some of the existing ones.

Hey - can you please post the .zip to do update from SD card?? I don't want to flash the whole phone AGAIN just to do this update fresh. I'd like to do the update over the recovery option if available. OTA for THIS rom does not work well when using the system update option. The update hangs at 2% and takes a very, very long time to complete. Multiple reboots are issued before the update finishes.

Plus, still having issues with screen wake on notifications - all these settings are disabled to enable the screen when a notification is received. Very annoying.. And the proximity sensor still doesn't react well with the phone app.

Also another little issue: sometimes when I restart the phone, the notification sound gets reset to the default sound defined by the system.

Thanks!

Also still - screen resolution for any video playback SUCKs... and seems like with this update the Camera sucks too. Can't take a clear picture due to the unfocused Camera...... Video playback is not 1080p as selected, nor does the phone record in 1080p - very close, but not at all HD picture quality..

Uh, hey guys - when I try to load the scatter file for this ROM through SP Flash Tool, I get an error stating the file is not valid... WHY

Here's a screenshot of the error in action..

Note: this is the error for the scatter file in ROM V1.0_20210714

Scatter file still corrupt - or ROM files. May we get an updated scatter.txt file?

Just rename the folder by deleting the '(4+128)' part from the end. The problem is caused by speciel characters in the folder name that makes the scatter file inaccessible by the flash tool. No problem with the scatter file but thank you for reporting this issue. The ROM file will be reuploaded with correct folder name.
