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 Z2 Upgraded and Special Edition receive 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:

• Updated app UI translations
• Camera bugs fixed
• Swipe gesture navigation bugs fixed
• APN settings updated
• APN settings not editable bug (related to some specific carriers) fixed
• Other minor bug fixes
  

The system will show UMIDIGI_Z2_V1.0_20180622 as Build number and the Wireless update screen ...20181226... after this update but the real version is V1.0_20190124.

FOTA version (what you see on the wireless update screen): UMIDIGI_Z2_V1.0_20180622_20181226-1455 (wrong version number by mistake)

Please note, this version is NOT compatible with the Z2 original version

ROM: >>> UMIDIGI_Z2_SE_Up_2019012414_g36v63c2k_kw.rar <<<

Extract the .rar file before use. The scatter file (MT6763_Android_scatter.txt) is inside the extracted folder, together with the other components

SPFT: SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1916.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 Z2 if the standard method doesn't work.

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

1. Connect your UMIDIGI Z2 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.

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.

Hello,

The microphone of my Umidigi z2 Upgraded doesn't work during phone calls and VoiP. My microphone only works with the sound recorder. I already tried to update / reset or reflash the ROM with SP Flash Tool but nothing has changed. I already sent an email at ben@91umi.com more than a week ago but i had no answer and i can't return the phone to the reseller... What can i do now ?

Best regards.

Same here. No response from Umidigi whatsoever. Guess sending it back is the only option. Shame, otherwise beautiful phone.

hello buy a z2 special edition in gearbest and they do not want to make me validate the warranty, the phone is re-launched and it does not work. Who can help me solve my problem? They only want to return me 36 dlls, and not make me validate the guarantee, of 1 year.

Can we use 2018101921_g37v71c2k_kw_mic.rar for Z2 Special edition?

Probably not because the Z2 Pro doesn't have the same hardware than the z2 SE / Upgraded. Umidigi need to remake a fix for these phones.

Do you know if any Umidigi phones support Camera2 API
