Stock Blocks (img) & TWRP for A3_Pro_N_V1.1_20190103

WARNING :

This post is reserved exclusively to the Umidigi A3 Pro "N" version.

DO NOT flash these stock blocks or this twrp onto the A3_Pro_V1.2_20181221 !!!

ADVICE :

What I am proposing are the most important stock blocks (img) and the twrp for A3 Pro "N" 16GB version.

Its seems that there are on the global market two different A3 Pro "N" versions (16GB & 32GB of storage).

Both stock blocks and twrp have successfully tested onto A3 Pro "N" 16GB version.

I am not sure they are compatible also onto A3 Pro "N" 32GB version.

Maybe they would be compatible also onto A3 Pro "N" 32GB version (but I can not test it).

Stock Blocks (img) :

TWRP :

https://mega.nz/#!Ho0DDKrA!9qGSDxJRF9aXZWeJo2opS7PdzSo-xzksLb-knJgQSV4

For a proper installation of the TWRP, follow very carefully all the steps at the first post.

P.S. :

A special thank you to Maurizio (the owner of the A3 Pro "N" 16GB version).
[General Questions and Answers] Kylesvet:
Much appreaciated...

I have been following this thread and finally after much thinking, I flashed the Light ROM. Everything works and I decided to go straight to the Light ROM and I am glad. Thank you very much for a great ROM for this very good phone. 32 GB version...

Dear nikita Petrovich,

You misunderstand me.

I was not referring to Umidigi forum website.

But I was referring to my post number 54 on XDA.

Two days ago, I have made the stock blocks and the twrp for A3_Pro_N_V1.1_20190103

I dit it to help the Umidigi A3 Pro community.

Look at the date of the following post :

There is much difference between "to ask" and "to make".

Do you know the difference between "to ask" and "to make" ?

Your TWRP is working on the 32GB Version of A3 Pro V1.1N

but i hat to Flash the TWRP via ADB because when I tried to Flash with SP-Tools (5.1844) I got Error Status Preloader Invalid.

But with ADB i could Flash your TWRP and then root the Device

thank you very much for this TWRP
[General Questions and Answers] Cleopatra Bianchi:
answer

Thank you for the confirmation that my TWRP works well also onto A3_Pro_N_V1.1_20190103 32GB version.

Little information about SP Flash Tool error :

Sometimes that happened to me too (my A3 Pro is not N version).

That happened not only flashing the twrp, but also flashing the firmware.

Little suggestion :

When something like that happens, try to follow the next steps :

1) SP Flash Tool returns error --> remove the usb cable from the pc.

2) Close SP Flash Tool.

3) Open SP Flash Tool.

4) Load the scatter file and click on Download.

5) Connect the usb cable and see what happens.

7) If this error persist, remove the usb cable and repeat once again the steps.

Or is it better to flash the update.zip in TWRP?

And will the TWRP recovery be over-wtitten with the update?

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] Kylesvet:
Remember we are more than one...

We are more than a someone!

I for one find your work excellent and you have allowed me to utilize this budget phone to its max. Because of the work you are doing some of us here have much better phones...

I try all and everything you give us to try. Like right now, I just today went back to the light ROM. It still works the best and indicative of your personal work the best. I realize that we are not a huge group as in a Samsung phone type of response, but we need someone to help us make the phone better...

The "someone" can find someone else to irritate and somewhere else to irritate, please...

---------- Post added at 01:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:20 PM ----------

I tried the OTA update while on the Light ROM and it crashed my phone. Thus, I installed the complete ROM (304) and flashed the new TWRP (per instructions in first post.) That worked just fine. I liked the Light ROM better and went back to it the next day and realize that I cannot install OTA updates on top of TWRP and Magisk...

I also froze the WiFi update app to keep the nagging down about update... What I do not see is better than what I see and want to update... :confused:
[General Questions and Answers] Cleopatra Bianchi:
answer

I am glad that there are good people like you.

Let me say thank you for your kind words.

Okay, you have convinced me to continue helping the A3 Pro community :)

Regarding your question about OTA update :

Do not try to install an OTA update while on the Light ROM.

Do not install an OTA update over twrp and magisk.

Every time that Umidigi release an OTA update,

I suggest you the following steps :

1) Before, flash once again the previous stock rom.

2) After, install the OTA update.

3) Then, flash the twrp and install magisk.

However, Umidigi published the stock rom V1.3_20190304 :

https://community.umidigi.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=18641&extra=page%3D1

Suggestion :

If you are on the Light ROM,

flash the V1.3_20190304 using Firmware Upgrade option (onto SP Flash Tool).
[General Questions and Answers] kozmo2k4:
Thank you for the reply. I suspected as much.

I did locate the OTA package (zip) once it downloaded, and have it in my gDrive, if anyone needs it.

Would it be possible to make a TWRP flashable zip from that update package? That way we could avoid going back to stock recovery and such....

Thanks for all you do, [MENTION=7332068]Cleopatra Bianchi[/MENTION]!!!
[General Questions and Answers] Cleopatra Bianchi:
answer

There is no sense in making a flashable OTA update via twrp.

It is because each new OTA update (or each new stock rom) needs its own properly TWRP.

Unfortunately, as already written earlier (post 96), it is necessary to follow the three steps.

Suggestions (these have nothing to do with the OTA) :

To surf faster than default browser,

you can try the apk called "CM Browser - Ad Blocker , Fast Download , Privacy".

Do not disable/remove the default browser.

You can compare the two browsers (take the test with the same webpage).

You will see that CM browser is faster than the default browser.

I suggest you to set "DuckDuckGo" as default search engine.

Why "DuckDuckGo" ? You can find the explanation in the main page.

Do not put "DuckDuckGo" inside Google Chrome.

Thank you for your compliment.
[General Questions and Answers] kozmo2k4:
Thanks.

For browsing, you can use the "DuckDuckGo" app, or Brave Browser. Both are lightweight, fast and secure....

And DuckDuckGo should be the default search engine in ALL your browsers! Better that the "big players"...
[General Questions and Answers] Kylesvet:
Oh My, it is better...

I have been using it since you posted about it. It is better and I decided to switch. I have been using the Samsung Browser, but this is better than that even and that is good...

Isn't there TWRP for the UMIDIGI_A3_Pro_N_V1.3_20190301 yet?

Thank you.
[General Questions and Answers] kozmo2k4:
Following the OP directions, got the update, v1.3, installed.

Steps:

1. Restore stock (v1.2) recovery using SPFlash Tool.

2. Boot to ROM, take OTA update

3. Boot to ROM.

4. Install TWRP (A3_P-NEW-twrp_04.rar).

5. Boot into Recovery (TWRP), install Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_12.16.2018.zip, then Magisk 18.1 and Busybox).

6. Reboot system.

Done. :good:

[General Questions and Answers] Kylesvet:
Anyone...

Anyone having issues with Magisk and the new 304 ROM? Magisk stops working and I have to reboot the phone to get it to respond no more than two times and it stops working again.

Actually I am not sure if it is Magisk and or simply the ROM has issues after using it for a few days? It seems that I have had the same issue (slowing down and no Magisk or TWRP at all installed) after a few days with a non-rooted ROM...

Just wondering. I have tried a dozen times and tried different ways to set everything up, no help, so I keep going back to the light ROM... :confused:
[General Questions and Answers] kozmo2k4:
No, I do not have a problem with Magisk on the 304 ROM. Are you using the latest version of Magisk (18.1) with the correct recovery? Maybe re-trace your steps installing it... Other than that, I have no other suggestion, sorry.

The phone is working as it should, here, no issues whatsoever. And based on the lack of activity in this sub, I guess that's is the case for just about everybody else...
[General Questions and Answers] WelldonePL:
is there any custom rom for A3 PRO?
[General Questions and Answers] Kylesvet:
None except the light ROM in this thread...

I consider the Light ROM custom as it has been modified to a point and very easy to install. But as far as something like LineageOS or so, not that I can find and I have looked long and hard. Project Treble is being somewhat promoted by 4PDA with the A3 Pro and I am getting ready to try that. They have half a dozen ROM's to use...

I was also hoping that someone would build a custom ROM for this phone...

Project Treble still confuses me... :eek: But then that is not a hard thing to do...
[General Questions and Answers] erunran:
I am using a v1.4
[General Questions and Answers] WelldonePL:
Hi guys!

First of all, thanks OP for this thread!

I wanted to root my device, but I'm on v1.4 rom. So have I downgrade to stock v1.2? And then install OTA again to 1.4 and after that TWRP?

Sorry for noob q :)
[General Questions and Answers] Cleopatra Bianchi:
answer

Hi,

Umidigi has produced two different models of A3 Pro.

I mean, an A3 Pro without N letter (inside Build number) and an A3 Pro with N letter.

If your A3 Pro contains the v1.4 rom, it means that you own an A3 pro with N letter.

It is because Umidigi has released the 1.4 firmware only for the A3 pro with N letter.

Take a look at the following post :

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=78876483&postcount=54

For your information, you can NOT install any OTA updates when your phone is rooted.

I own an A3 Pro without N letter.

However, I will try to make a twrp recovery reserved exclusively for 1.4 N letter firmware (as soon as possible).
