UMIDIGI A5 Pro V1.5_20191009 ROM - SPFT + OTA release

bencebacsi

This is the SP Flash Tool + OTA release of the

V1.5_20191009 system software

for UMIDIGI A5 Pro

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 A5 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. Moreover, flashing with SPFT is the only option to repair (replace) damaged system software.

Changelog:

• Call end message bugs fixed
• Video call bug in third party apps fixed
• Other minor bug fixes and system optimizations
  

FOTA version: UMIDIGI_A5_Pro_V1.5_20191009_20191009-1033

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.

OTA (recovery) update

Manual (local) OTA update method instructions

• Copy the downloaded .zip file to the internal storage of your phone
• Go to Settings → System → Advanced → About phone → Wireless update
• Tap the 3-dot menu button in the top right corner and select Local Updates
• Brows for the ...update.zip file and select it
• Select INSTALL NOW, then OK in the Warning window. Your phone reboots into recovery, the update gets installed, then your phone boots into Android. Your updated system is ready to use.
  

Update file for manual OTA update:

>>> UMIDIGI_A5_Pro_V1.5_20191009_20191009-1033_update.zip <<<

It can update version 20190827 only

Optional method (in case if the manual OTA update gets stuck): Install from recovery

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.

• 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 SD card 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.

Stock Camera App is still broken, vertical color streaks and/or sometimes blank screen, other times - white screen.  There are no Date/Time stamps option - On/Off - a very basic feature on simple Camera Apps, please FIX them.  

Camera App needs more fixes, fine tuning to improve clarity, color sharpness and focus

Android Security patch level still not updated to at least Sept 2019 - still on June 2019 - there are CRITICAL patches & security updates by Google that has been pushed out to other devices including our Motorolas running stock Android 9.0

Android Security update/patch is getting outdated, still using June 2019 - needs to be current !!

Stock Camera App is still buggy and NOT fixed, unable to open except in wide angle mode with main/rear camera.  Focus & clarity are still NOT good.
There is NO Date / Time stamp option or function when camera photos and videos are taken - this is a very, very, very basic option on all "modern" smartphone camera app ... Well, except for Umidigi's "triple camera" value king ??  Seriously !!  Add it & fix it - it should be a simple line or two of programming codes.

Wireless Emergency Alerts do NOT work at all, it is there - did anyone actually TESTED it to see if it work.  Mine does NOT !
