MAX V1.01_20160819 ROM - SPFT version

bencebacsi

This is the SP Flash Tool version of the

V1.01_20160819 firmware

for UMI MAX

Flash tool operation is recommended for experienced users only. Do not use it if you cannot understand the whole process!

UMI MAX receives all updates automatically via FOTA method. You need this tool only in case of emergency (if you've bricekd 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.

Changelog:

First release

Resources:

Flashtool tutorials: UMI Forum or androidxda guide or YouTube guide (you can google a lot of other solutions and guides)

ROM: 20160819_c239v55_kw_u11.rar - Extract the .rar file before use. The scatter file (MT6755_Android_scatter.txt) is inside the extracted folder, together with the other elements

SPFT: SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1628.rar (use this one instead of the old version linked in the UMI forum guide)

VCOM driver: MT65x3_USB_VCOM_drivers.zip or Mediatek_Driver_Auto_Installer_1.1352.00.rar

Here's an optional solution to start the flashing process on your UMI MAX if the standard method doesn't work. It's especially useful if your phone is bricked or is stuck in bootloop.

1. Connect your UMI MAX to USB.

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.

4. Wait until the flashing process finishes.

Dear Users,

The V1.01_20160923 ROM has been released for UMi MAX. If you have touch screen issues, it will solve them. It's weekend now but as soon as possible I'm going to publish the flash tool version. Until that, if you have a USB Type-C OTG adapter, you can process the update from the Settings --> About phone --> Wireless update menu with using a mouse.

Thanks for that Information.
Are there big changes between 20160810 and20160819.

Just would be nice to know. I am having issues with Touchscreen Sensitivity.

Thanks

Typically. The Umi Max doesn't install Updates via OTA while all other smartphone manufacturers since 2016 have long left the SPflashtool Shit behind. On my Windows 10 PC it doesn't work. So what now.... Shall I keep the old firmware now? On the Umi Max there is defenetly no update found even though it exists, what I can see clearly in this thread.

Anyway... I got it. You need to press the Power Button and the Volume-Up Button together. Not just the Power Button

Hi,

1. You don't have to press any button to start the flashing, just connect your powered off phone to USB. Only in that case if your phone is in boot loop (cannot be turned off) you have to press and keep pressed the power button for about 10 seconds until the flashing process starts.
2. UMi MAX will receive OTA updates but not even the first one has been released yet. First buyers are just receiving their handsets now and this ROM here is not an update but the first final version. If your phone works well, you have no reason to flash it.

The para partition is not in use, that's area of the flash ROM is empty. What would you want to do with that?

Probably not but you can make a try, of course. Please try to connect to different wifi routers.
