bencebacsi

This is the SP Flash Tool + OTA release of the

V1.4_20220414 system software

for

UMIDIGI A7 Pro

Unified software for both the 64GB and 128GB variants

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 A7 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 to 2022, January
• Minor bug fixes
  

FOTA version: UMIDIGI_A7_PRO_V1.4_20220414

OTA (recovery) update

Manual (local) OTA update method instructions

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.

• 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, There's no such an issue. Just tested right now with Hungarian Vodafone and Telekom SIM cards, and VoLTE is available as the same as before. Which mobile carrier are you using?

robikahun

Hi!

Hungarian telekom. Volte doesn't only work on 4G.

Now it looks like it got better. Still have bugs when downloading
some files through the browser or applications in the store, the device does not respond promptly, the heating continues, but it is lower than before, when watching videos it suffers glitches and freezes the images. It seems that it suffers when there are too many images, it becomes unstable and freezing.
Initially I did the installation directly by the device, and still suffered a little, so I did the update by SP Flash Tool with the ROM file without formatting and I noticed improvements.
Video glitches and freezes could be a GPU issue or the Kernel needs to be worked on better.
Maybe it's better to update through Flash Tools with formatting, I haven't tested it because I have files on my device and I'm out of space on my notebook.
I leave a tip, update with ROM file using SP Flash Tool formatting

Pls urgent help needed. My phone crashed a week a go and since then I have tried flashing it with various stock versions but it still unsuccessful. My phone is still stock on boot loop. I have even tried checking if its a hardware issue but I haven't been able to detect any fault.
I need support and assistance on what to do. The phone is an Umidigi a7pro 64GB global version.

The On Body Detection suggestion in Settings will not go away.

And the following does not work to resolve the issue.
