[UMi ZERO Guides, News, & Discussion] Ties(to):
HEEEEEELP!!!!!!

Hi all,

Really ****ed it up right now, as no mobile connection (phonecalls, sms, data) with http://www.needrom.com/download/arcatarcs-umi-zero-emumi/ ROM I decided to try http://www.needrom.com/download/umi-zero-miui-v5/ ROM and did as below:

01. Copied the rom (umi_zero_miui_4.12.11.zip) and recovery (recovery.img) to an external SD card root directory

02. Upload CWM by installing mobileuncle via Playstore

03. Run mobileuncle

04. Clicked on "Recovery Update"

05. Pressed on the box with the recovery.img and went into recovery mode via mobileuncle

06. Wipe Data / Factory Reset -> delete all user data ***THIS DIDN'T WORK***

07. Wipe Cache Partition -> Wipe cache ***THIS DIDN'T WORK***

04. Return to recovery main interface Install zip from sdcard -> choose zip from sdcard -> Select your ROM

05. Restart the phone

06. Now only thing I see is startup logo from MI and phone keeps starting up and starting up

WHAT CAN I DO?!?

BACK IN BUSINESS!!!!!! Now on official 3.01 ROM again via http://umidigi.com/forums/topic/3-03-update-installation-manual/ by doing under Windows 8.1:

– Be sure you also have correct drivers installed, install http://pdanet.co/a/ and VCOM http://goo.gl/aeFWr3

(for Windows 7, if your in Windows 8 you need to manually install the mt6592 vcom drivers! More info here http://thebroodle.com/android/install-mediatek-mt65xx-usb-vcom-drivers-windows-8-8-1/ or http://thetechnolyte.blogspot.de/2014/04/installing-vcom-drivers-in-windows-81.html)

– Please use SP Flash Tool V5.13.52 or newer – as older versions can crash! and give you problems!

– Start the SP Flash Tool

– Unzip ROM, select the Scatter.txt in ROM

– Wait file to be added into Flash Tool

– Untick Preloader (DON’T flash the Preloader!)

– Turn off your phone

– Press F9 (hit “Download” button in SP Flash Tool)

– Then connect your phone to your PC via USB cable WHILE YOU HOLD VOL DOWN! IMPORTANT!

– The process will start and a red progress bar will appear (now let of the Vol Down button) after color purple, yellow.

– And green circles display

– Finish !

– You can now safely disconnect your phone.

– Now we go to the Recovery. Hold down VOL down and Power button,

– 2 second after the ZERO logo appears let go of the buttons!

– You should now be in the Recovery (you see a green Droid laying down)

– Press the Power button once, and the Recovery menu should appear

– Use VOL down button to go down the menu, to wipe cache and press VOL UP to confirm

– After that also Wipe Data Factory/Reset. (You will now delete everything on the phone!)

– Go back and reboot the phone, done!
