Thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry, then my job is suspended until I get my UMI Super.

\n\nI found a way to get root without OTG mouse.
flash TWRP UMI_Super_TWRP3_NO_TOUCHSCREEN.img
in the phone memory sdcard put SuperSU installation package renamed to root.zip,
execute commands through ADB
echo "install /mnt/sdcard/root.zip" >> /cache/recovery/openrecoveryscript
restart the phone into recovery, do not touch anything until the full load
you have root

Hi all

So this (TWRP TWRP_3.02_UMI_Super.img) is fully working with touch screen? What is the difference between this image and the one from Jemmini (TWRP_302_for_UMI_Super_20160525.zip) over on XDA forum?

New to this forum and hoping to get one of these phones once I get a refund from my Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro which has been nothing but a pain from start to finish! All I want is a nice stock android phone with root for ad blocking, possibly xposed and other bits. Hoping this phone fits the bill.

Dear Tetsuo,

That .zip file contains the same .img file but in a compressed format, that you have to extract before use. The creators are skilled experts, tested it and stated that, it works.
Anyway that's pointless to archive a such (raw data) image file in zip or any other compressed format for storing since its density cannot be compressed more. The size of the compressed file will be almost identical to the size of the uncompressed one. So I store the recovery image files in their original, uncompressed formats to make them immediately usable and to avoid somebody to try to use them as recovery installers.

Regards,
Bence
