This is the SP Flash Tool release of the

V1.0_20210406 system software

for UMIDIGI BISON 2021 6GB

Please note, this software release is compatible only with the 2021 edition of UMIDIGI BISON with 6GB RAM

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 BISON 2021 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:

• Amorphous software does not add watermark
• Add customer wallpaper
• Change the built-in method of the intercom application to solve the problem of two intercom icons
• Prepared for FOTA update to Android 11

Extract the .rar file before use. The scatter file (MT6771_Android_scatter.txt) is inside the extracted folder, together with the other components

SPFT: SP_Flash_Tool_v5.2136.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 BISON 2021 if the standard method doesn't work.

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

1. Connect your phone to USB.

2. Start the flashing process with the Download button in the flasher app.

3. Press and hold 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.

Hi. I think my phone is running this version from FOTA.
Build Number in System Settings: UMIDIGI_BISON_1_V1.0_20210406
And Board Information using CPU app shows: g2033upt_v1_ga_ym_bison_1_q
But the Android Version shows Android 10, not Android 11.
So I am very confused as to whether I have a Bison 2020 or a Bison 2021.
I am unable to update using FOTA anything beyond this 20210406 version as it says it is up to date, but I see that the 2021 has more updates.
I also have a big audio problems with using this as a phone. The other party often cannot hear me. And I would also like to hear them a bit louder.
So I am hoping a firmware update will resolve this because as a phone it is pretty useless to me at present.

The scatter file for the post I am replying to (https://community.umidigi.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=20145) that seems to match what is installed on my phone includes:
      config_version: V1.1.2
      platform: MT6771
      project: g2033upt_v1_ga_ym_bison_1_q
  file_name: preloader_g2033upt_v1_ga_ym_bison_1_q.bin

And the post above says: "Please note, this software release is compatible only with the 2021 edition of UMIDIGI BISON with 6GB RAM"

So, is my phone a Bison 2021?
If so, why can't I update beyond 20210406 over FOTA?

Is it safe for me to update directly to the latest ROM  UMIDIGI_BISON-6R_V1-0_20210813.rar which is:
LInk: https://community.umidigi.com/fo ... 0461&extra=page%3D1
6R_V1.0_20210813 system software for UMIDIGI BISON 2021 6GB
FOTA vesion: UMIDIGI_BISON.6R_V1.0_20210428_20210813-1146
And Scatter includes:
    - config_version: V1.1.2
      platform: MT6771
      project: g2033upt_v1_1gb_ym_bison_1_r
      file_name: preloader_g2033upt_v1_1gb_ym_bison_1_r.bin

If I do this, will it also update the phone to Android 11?

And will it resolve my phone audio issues?

Is it possible to do some form of image backup of my whole phone to restore it as is with all the apps configured etc prior to doing a major upgrade to an Android 11 version, so I can revert back if it is problematic, without having to reconfigure everything again (maybe ideally something like TWRP availability?)?

Thank you
