bencebacsi

This is the SP Flash Tool + OTA release of the

V1.3_20190720 system software

for UMIDIGI Power

European Version

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 Power 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:

• Improved camera performance
• Other minor bug fixes and system improvements
  

FOTA version: UMIDIGI_Power.E_V1.3_20190720_20190720-1239

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

1. Connect your UMIDIGI Power 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.

• 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.

hi everyone. I'm JB from Italy. I need some help. I bought a new Umidigi power eu version. When I agreed to install fota update, phone switched off and started to install, battery was fully charged, but installation went wrong on itself and little robot appeared showing 'error'. since the phone is stuck on bootloop, no manner to enter recovery because when I select recovery robot appears with 'no command' writing. I tried so more times! So I followed guide to flashing, it worked but phone was still in bootloop with empty recovery. I tried all. I done 'auto format chipset' (I though, no damage, since phone was bricked...) then I saved phone, now I can power it. But it is unusable. Initial setting gets stuck everywhere, I can't migrate from my previous phone or set my google account. Gapps are always stopping and other apps too. so my question is: I must flash all versions from first to last one after other, or just last version is good? What difference from eu and non eu versions? I damaged something erasing chipset? Thanks a lot. Seller did'nt provide me with any assistance...
