MAX V7.01_20170329 Android 7.0 ROM - SPFT + OTA release

bencebacsi

This is the SP Flash Tool + OTA release of the

V7.01_20170329 Android 7.0 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 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.

WARNING!

It is an Android version upgrade. Always flash this ROM as 'Firmware Upgrade', not 'Download Only' if you are upgrading an Android 6.0 system!

Changelog:

• Dialer and power saving mode bug when your phone is set to Russian language fixed
• Missing caller picture on the phone call screen fixed
• Power-saving mode will automatically be turned on when "15% battery remains"
• Other minor bug fixes
  

Known bug: Fast charging is still unstable causing much slower battery charging at some handsets!

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.

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 power and vol-up buttons (in this order) together, then release them to call the recovery menu. Now you can move with the 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 sdcard 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'

It's definitely manual focus as it can work on touch screen. The ZSD function does nothing that makes your photos blurred, it just prevents the camera to refocus before capturing.

I received and installed the newest version, 20170413. I don't know what is changed or fixed, because it said only "minor bug fix".

Will there be manual focus in any future update? It would help us to take better pictures. It's supported so why not to do this? Pictures are blurred often because they're not focused properly.

You can manually focus by tapping a certain point of the screen. Turn on ZSD (Zero Shutter Delay) in the settings menu to avoid refocusing before you take the photo.
