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.

Hi Umidigi !

I can't shake the impression that the previous version of the UMIDIGI A9 Pro 64GB.E V1.0_20201228 was better at screen sensitivity and fingerprint scanning.
In this version, the display is too sensitive, sometimes it responds without direct contact. When you unlock the phone, the fingerprint sensor is a disaster. I tried to upload a fingerprint several times. Several applications respond well when taking a fingerprint.

Are you ashamed of your products? What is the manufacturer of HXY?

Why can't I create a Second Profile? In A5 Pro it is possible, A7 Pro and A9 Pro not.

Intente restaurar la configuración de fábrica en su teléfono. O vuelva a cargar Android a través de SP Flash Tool.

Hi Umidigi !

I use SIM 1 for a mobile internet connection. When you call SIM 2, the mobile data on SIM 1 is interrupted - it does not work. Is this how it should work? I would understand if mobile data would drop out when calling outside the 4G network on SIM 1, but why it will interrupt the connection even when calling on the other card.

Hi Umidigi team!
I was a big fan of your brand and I wanted to participate in your visibility, especially in Europe. I have A5, A7 and A9 in the Pro version and I'm not looking for another phone. We are satisfied with pure Android, HW equipment and price.
I see that you have a clear strategy - to churn out new models. Older models have minimal or no support and I think some bugs still need to be picked up.
I am no longer interested in your brand.
