bencebacsi

This is the SP Flash Tool + OTA release of the

V1.9_20210226 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:

• Android Security Patch level updated
• Minor bug fixes and system improvements
  

FOTA version: UMIDIGI_A5_Pro_V1.9_20210226_20210226-1124

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.

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_V1.9_20210226_20210226-1124_update.zip <<<

It can update version 20201022 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.
• Here you can move with the vol-up button and select an item with vol-down. Select Recovery.
• Your phone boots into Recovery and you see a lying android figure with an exclamation mark in red triangle on its tummy + 'No command'.
• Press and hold the power and vol-up buttons (in this order) together, then release them 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 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.

Olá!!!
Meu celular continua congelando a tela mesmo trocando varias versões diferentes. Essa ultima apresentou o mesmo problema. Em qual versão esse problema foi corrigido?

I have had the A5 Pro for a year and I had almost no problems (I did not know that these updates were there), now I have updated to version 1.9 and I improve a lot (especially the functions and quality of the camera).
I have been reading some threads and I see that all the problems are common and recurring in this device! Therefore I think that the failures are not isolated facts! Personally, I think that android 9 already has many failures and I think an update to version 10 would be a good option.

Hi,

Your issue is not related to the system software. Perform a factory data reset but if that doesn't fix it, your phone might have a hardware defection.

I have upgraded the rom and now I cannot sign into Google account and the phone crashes after I try do do anything even go into settings. The phone will crash on it's own if left with the screen off even. Any advice?
