bencebacsi

This is the SP Flash Tool + OTA release of the

V1.1_20170703 (Android 7.0) system software

for UMIDIGI Z1 Pro

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

UMIDIGI Z1 Pro 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.

Changelog:

• Blurred screen fixed
• Front camera preview and imaging optimized

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

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.

You need a microSD card (with at least 4GB capacity) installed in your phone!

• Copy the ...update.zip file to your SD card
• Press and hold the volume-up and power buttons together until your phone restarts in the boot selector mode. It needs about 10 seconds or a little bit less if your phone was already powered off.

• Press and hold the power and vol-up buttons (in this order) together, then release them to call the recovery menu. Now you can move with the volume buttons and select an item with the power button.
• Move to ‘Apply update from SD card’ and select it.
• On the next screen brows for the update file and select it. The updating process will start and needs a few minutes to be finished.
• After a succcessful installation you can read the ''Install from sdcard complete'' message and the receovery menu is available again.
• Select 'Reboot system now'. Alternatively you can perform a factory data reset here by choosing 'Wipe data/factory reset'
  

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.

Than ...

My polite answer is the same as it was earlier. We are sorry but currently it's not planned to release the source code of this or any other UMIDIGI ROMs, since that would violate inter-company contracts.

Got my device today, 3 question:
1: Is it normal that the text is a bit frayed when you look close? Is it full HD?
2: Why isn't it possible to disable apps like Calendar?
3: Is the DualCam fake..?

Got my device today, I have a question.

Why tne brightness is always adjusting itself. Just browsing or in tweeter, when there are many dark images the brightness gets down and when there is a more white area it becomes more brightner.

This pass always with automatic or manual brightness. Just taking the lever to the minimun brightness it does not happends.

Is there any way to fix it? Thanks
