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 A9 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:

• Minor bug fixes
  

FOTA vesion: UMIDIGI_A9_PRO_128GB.E_V1.0_20210128

Please note, this one is the last EEA (light blue title) update for the A9 Pro 2020 128GB. If you need further system updates, please flash the latest global version with SPFT on your phone, then you'll be able to receive future updates wirelessly.

OTA (recovery) update

Manual (local) OTA update method instructions

• Copy the downloaded .zip file to the internal storage of your phone
• Go to Settings → 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_A9_PRO_128GB.E_V1.0_20210128_update.zip <<<

It can update version 20201221 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. As soon as the boot screen flashes up, release the power button and keep only the vol-up button pressed.

• Press and hold the power and vol-up buttons (in this order) together, then release them (first the vol-up button) to call the recovery menu. Now you can move with both 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 update 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 recovery 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.

The headphone output only gives mono sound and the WIFI disconnects out of nowhere.

These problems still persist. I hope they solve them.

Check under Settings > Accessibility > Mono Audio and make sure it's switched off...

Also make sure the aux cord or earphones you're using doesn't have just one ring (has to be at least 2 rings to channel stereo sound)... Mine works perfectly...

Sorry about this issue mate... It seems to be a hardware defect. Have you tried a full reset via the recovery menu?

Sometimes they can fix defects like this... I'm assuming you've tried it, but if not... Give it a shot... :-)
