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.

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.

THANK YOU UMIDIGI FOR EXIST. FINALLY I PUT MY POWER 3 IN GARBAGE AND BOUTH A POCO X3 NFC FROM XIAOMI. NO I HAVE A PHONE WITH UPDATES.

This is the first and last Umidigi product I will ever buy. The support for the Power 3 is down right embarrassing. If you cannot support your own products please stop selling them. You cannot launch smart phones and abandon them weeks after launch and also expect repeat customers. The Power 3, on paper, was a great buy. However, now that I have seen how much Umidigi actually cares about support, I regret my decision. Never again.

I was told the updated software would be released end of May. Ha! We are in July now and not only is the software nowhere to be found, Umidigi won't even tell us what the hell is going on. Sad.

I would not hold my breath. It's likely they have already abandoned the phone to work on the Power 4. This company does not support their products. They just keep launching new devices every couple of months. And the very few "updates" that we do get do more harm than good. Clearly no testing is done either. When I first got my Power 3 I was quite happy but now, 5 months later, I regret my decision. Also, being on Dec 2019 security patch is very alarming and you really should not be using an Android that is that out of date. They don't even push security updates (at least not for last 7 months) which should be a big concern to anyone with this phone.

Can we please get some updates @Ben...

This is terrible support. Don't do that either @forse - the phone is the hardware; which is fine. The software is the issue..

If it weren't for me losing my info, and SMS, I'd be flashing to Lineage17 or Arrow 10.. but I can't get the flashing down for the 10 partitions. I have a 'Super.img' and not a 'System.img'.. which with my A3X I couldn't get Lineage17 to flash due to that..

Ben - I know you read these, you delete a lot of my truthful postings. Give some updates on the Power 3 please. You stated that there were improvements in the works coming in the near months.... months ago.. don't leave us with hopeful insights and then no delivery. As I said before, WE are your testers. Hell, most of us could be your development team; but empty promises go an extremely long way in terms of customer base and support. It's time for some answers, and it's time to deliver some degree of level playing field here. You're losing your testing - for every person that is deterred from a phone, that's a lost insight. Now, we did pay. Now, you deliver.

The problem with crackling sound from the speaker is back. This time I havn't found any easy solution. In last update E_V1.2 you just made a phonecall and the speakersound was fine again. This time nothing works. Tried phonecall on different bluetooth devises. Running sound through a couple of devises. Nothing works...... Soundproblem fixed.....I don't think so. Did the automatic OTA update

xicofaro

Hello, now is my sound that have a problem. Until today never had This kind of problem. Now crackling in YouTube videos, in calma, in Facebook videos also. Now when you going to resolve my problem? Did update from you and also try from sd card and it is the same.

If you phone is ok, do not update. I did the update and i get the sound problem.

I did not have an audio problem before this update and don't have one after updating either. I suggest that you all try to a "firmware update" using the tool.

I have tested this some more and it seems that the call audio is shared with normal audio.

You can test this by adjusting the sound sliders one by one while playing audio in a split screen. The quality of the audio changes while changing the call volume (the example sound is always high quality btw).  If I wait for a while, the audio quality changes back to old radio.

Umidigi please resolve This problem my sound now is horrible
