UMIDIGI S5 Pro (EEA) V1.0 20200422 ROM - SPFT release

bencebacsi

This is the SP Flash Tool release of the

V1.0 20200422 system software

for UMIDIGI S5 Pro

European version for EEA countries

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 S5 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:

First release for manufacturing

FOTA version: UMIDIGI_S5_Pro.E_V1.0_20200530-2333

Extract the .rar file before use. The scatter file (MT6785_Android_scatter.txt) is inside the extracted folder, together with the other components

SPFT: SP_Flash_Tool_v5.2124.rar

VCOM driver: Windows 10 can automatically install it. Please make sure that your Windows is logged in with administrator rights and your computer has a working internet connection when first time connecting your phone.

Here's an optional solution to start the flashing process on your UMIDIGI S5 Pro if the standard method doesn't work.

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

1. Connect your UMIDIGI S5 Pro 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.

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.

Please ask to the Dev Team to add RAW mode to camera2 api so that we can ysare third app cams as Google Cam Mods. There is already one (google cam mode) that works all but not photo for no raw func in carmera2 api.

I know it's unbelievable for Umidigi but yes, there is no bug on this S5pro.
On the other hand an update to optimize the cameras and especially I capture digital fingerprint will be welcome.

If there is maybe a bug, I can't make my screen stop lighting up by itself....

There's a known bug when calling the recent apps list when using a third party launcher which will be fixed.
The fingerprint scanner performance will be further optimized.
If you want to avoid the screen lighting up when you move your phone, go to 'Settings -> Fingerprint', and disable 'Off screen display fingerprint'.

Your camera problem is not a generally present issue, actually I can't reproduce it. Try to perform a factory data reset. The navigation color bug will be fixed.

Hi,

Comment #3 in this thread: "If you want to avoid the screen lighting up when you move your phone, go to 'Settings -> Fingerprint', and disable 'Off screen display fingerprint'." So different name in a different place but the same function.
