That means that the partition scheme is AB and you have to use a generic system image as there is not a proper custom rom available for the device
[Android General] hardbodyrichert:
Hey dude! Could you tell me which GSIs you have tried, and which two worked the best? I'm going to try to build a ROM for it, and am going to use one as a starting point. Can you list them in order of most --> least stable for you?

CHEERS!
[Android General] kallum7:
BLISS OS

ARROW OS

LINEAGE OS 16.0

Lineage os 17.0

Resurrection remix android 10 gsi image

ZICORRIUM OS

These are the ones I have tried
[Android General] Nickthegr8:
[MENTION=10214509]hardbodyrichert[/MENTION]

Havoc

Bliss

Pixel experience

colt os

Of2apk microg rom

I would suggest havoc
[Android General] Zahr:
Do any of those roms do away with the super annoying issue with the touchscreen randomly acting like it's rapidly being touched when it isn't?
[Android General] kallum7:
Not any of the ones I have tried
[Android General] MikeyLee:
I have to wonder why nobody can port an Android 10 ROM like the Umidigi F2 ROM. It's the same device with a few camera upgrades.
[Android General] kallum7:
Because mickey the kernels are different for the phones, and the rom is designed for the f2 and you would have to re write most of it so it would work
[Android General] kallum7:
Has anyone tried an otg cable on this phone because I have tried two and they won't work
[Android General] kallum7:
Hey guys I have some great news I have just got android 10 running on my S3 pro it is very stable it has Google apps built in never tried rooting it so I don't know if that works
[Android General] hardbodyrichert:
Whaaaaaattttt?????? Android 10? What rom???

Did you port a gsi or just tweak some other umidigi rom?

Please share! If you want to publish it, I'd be happy to start on fixing the bad wifi/lte problems this phone seems to have ?
[Android General] kallum7:
The ROM is pixel experience android 10 gsi ROM but I forgot to mention that I have found a bug yesterday and the bug is that for whatever reason it doesn't show up the full entire internal storage for whatever reason it keeps saying that it has 8 gigabytes available so unless you can fix that it would work champion

The link is https://sourceforge.net/projects/expressluke-gsis/files/PixelExperience/Ten/ARM64/AB/
[Android General] kallum7:
Hey Guys update got another android 10 rom installed and got full storage showing up this time
[Android General] Nickthegr8:
Other than the pixel one? And whats working and what isnt
[Android General] kallum7:

Could you please provide a link to the ROM page (or thread) so we can see a bit more detail about it before downloading?

Thanks in advance.

[Android General] kallum7:
Yes that is it

Did you install the rom
[Android General] xxlren:
Am I the last sorry soul that can't restore their IMEI numbers? I get the -19 error on SN writer even after adding to the host file

Did you set the host file up like this

Also download the first ever ROM for the device you will have to have a look on the back of the box of your phone to see if it has the blue sticker either saying EEA who's is European version of the phone or the United States version of the phone once you have the first version format the phone and then try putting the IMEI numbers in and the tee stuff again using the an write tool with tee support
[Android General] xxlren:
Hey Kallum, yes I saved it exactly as bencebacsi had explained. I noticed that others have been able to recover IMEI even without the special turkey SN writer. Where as with me, I've been trying to do this since October and nothing seems to work. I wasn't concerned about the red 未激活writing because this problem is still bothering me. I've flashed and tried almost every rom. My phone is non-eea, but I've tried both eea and non-eea roms.

Btw the easiest way to check if original rom is eea is the home button has two rings
[Android General] kallum7:
Well open the flash tool and there is a tab called format use that first then flash the ROM then try the tool
[Android General] xxlren:
Hey the reason I'm in this situation is because I used format. I've tried to format it multiple times since then, and still no results. I'll go through exactly what I do and write a post with the results. Unfortunately I've tried different computers, different USB cables, almost every stock rom available, almost every SN writer available. Formatted. Tried alternative software called Maui. Asked for help on umidigi community forum. Still no results, my phone has no IMEI numbers, even though I wrote down the original IMEIs before I formatted it
[Android General] kallum7:
Well the only solution I would recommend then is to contact umidigi themselves and explain your situation

---------- Post added at 09:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:58 PM ----------

Have you got your bootloader locked

---------- Post added at 10:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:59 PM ----------

Because if you have your bootloader unlocked it won't work
[Android General] kallum7:
Hey peeps I have put the stock rom back on and I dont know if I should root the rom
[Android General] kallum7:
just got bliss android 10 working it is very stable and had no problem what so ever if anyone wants any instructions and zip files to install this just let me know
[Android General] kallum7:
Hi to install bliss os 12.5 on this phone you need to have the latest original rom installed

then you need to have the material version of twrp installed then wipe everything except the internal storage partition

then reboot to bootloader and flash the bliss system img file and boot img file from original rom folder then let the rom boot up then reboot into recovery and flash the gapps which I have included in this message. And install root if you want.

If you have whatsapp YOU MUST install google drive first then install whatsapp because if you do not you will not be able to restore any of your chat backups from google drive as it will not find your google account.

The telephoto lense is working in this rom but you have to install camera mx from google play store

This rom is android 10 by the way and when installing this rom you cannot come from a different android custom rom you have to install it directly after installing the original rom otherwise you will get bootloops and I am not taking responsibility for anything that happens to your device this up to you to install it

And if you bugger your device kiss goodbye to your warranty because it is not supported and you will not get any support from Umidigi

here is the link for the files : https://drive.google.com/open?id=1D1blmthrrOJkAhZtnF3Pzl_iMTsiy2UU
[Android General] Amiga1000:
Hi Kallum7

Can you give the link for youre twrp version?

Is it possible to give step by step how you did eveything?

Thank you. :)
[Android General] Paul Over:
Hi, I'm installed the firmware according to your instructions, but I installed TWRP 3.3.1 from this thread.

This rom is awesome!

But I have some problems.

One of them is a locked section in twrp, because of this there is no access to files in memory, a password is required.

And another, more important, failed to activate GPay, tried through Magisk, but after installing the fix the phone goes into the bootloop. Using EdXposed, the phone does not pass certification verification.

If you managed to activate GPay, I would really appreciate help in this matter.

P.S Thx for this ROM and sorry for my bad english!
[Android General] kallum7:
I don't use Gpay but I have another rom you could trywhich I am running at the moment as I had a few issues with that rom
[Android General] Paul Over:
Ok. If you provide firmware, I will definitely try.
[Android General] kallum7:
Hi Paul yesterday I decided to put the original rom back on and I regret to say this I will not be putting anymore custom rom's on my device as i need it to be stable and have everything working on my phone all of the time I cannot be tampering with my phone anymore
[Android General] Paul Over:
Well, it's fine. After testing with Bliss OS, I also returned to the stock firmware.
[Android General] kallum7:
Anyone got any suggestions for a launcher
[Android General] Amiga1000:
I use since day one, nova launcher (prime) works great!!

[Android General] kallum7:
To be honest I have given up on android 10 they are quite buggy because we dont have official custom rom so gsi images are always going to be buggy

do you know of any roms that will let me use google daydream vr features without leaving root on or a way to edit the OS with root but keep the changes after removing the root??

[Android General] galaxis3:
Anyone has the problem with Volume level control?

[Android General] diabloksm:
Now i'm running the havoc 3,5 and all seems to be working good, except the screen mirroring. When i use the mirroring the phone, reboot itself.
[Android General] xxlren:
Thanks to Nickthegr8 for your earlier post dated August 14. I had been struggling to restore my IMEIs after 'formatting all' in SP flash tool in October until now. I followed just as you described and it worked perfectly. I think it was that I was completing the initial phone setup that was interfering with SN writer, but I'm not exactly sure why I had difficulty with the process.

Now that's fixed, I'm getting to experiment with more GSI roms. I had tried Havoc 2.9 earlier and I was very impressed.

Phhusson's AOSP 10.0 v217 is running well. I was having trouble connecting to WiFi network while using Havoc-OS-v3.5-20200522 GApps version. I'm going to try again and see if I can get it working

Flashed Vanilla Havoc-OS-v3.5-20200522 and WiFi is working
[Android General] Nickthegr8:
Google phusson gsi github and look for igor roms there's one called ancient os... Highly recommended

Enjoy buddy

@xxlren status? feedback ? Plz thks
[Android General] kallum7:
Cheers Nick as I am getting a new device in November as I have accidentally smashed the screen near the bottom right hand corner and it goes over the three nav bar buttons so I can still use it but I am getting a upgrade in November
[Android General] Nickthegr8:
Gonna miss u on umidigi thread
[Android General] xxlren:
Just a quick update on the experience. Do not enable the CPU monitoring feature in settings on that specific Ancient OS v3.7, it caused my screen to go black and had to re-install. Even after restarting the phone, it's like the system UI had permanently crashed. Other than that, the ROM is fantastic. I'll be using this ROM instead of havoc for a while and see how it goes
[Android General] Nickthegr8:
Yep even the old one was fantastic ... Enjoy
[Android General] xxlren:
I'm curious, has anyone else had an issue with the phone charging slowly? At the lock screen it always says either 'charging slowly' or charging at 1100mA and 4.9V. I've tried various chargers. At this rate it takes like 2 hours to charge
[Android General] kallum7:
Yes I have it all of the time just reboot the phone problem solved
[Android General] kallum7:
Hi I had dropped my S3 pro as some people might know and I am just wondering if I bought a F1 screen would it fit
[Android General] diabloksm:
Hi friend, the recent task button is working for you? For me no, and also the screen mirroring is not working.

if working for you, let me knew what to do, Thank's.
[Android General] Nickthegr8:
I tried the civilization rom, everything is working except wifi & usb tethering, same as the old one,

For screen mirroring try bubbleupnp app, if u are trying to cast a video fr your phone to tv it will work fine

If u r referring to mirroring as in stock, yes that's missing as well but i rarely used it
[Android General] AgustinH:
it's there any no android GSI rom? Sailfish? UBPorts?
[Android General] xxlren:
I own 2 S3 Pros. The one I'm using every day I've gone back to stock ROM with because I'm having difficulty with Google Pay, Android Auto, and mobile hotspot. I think it's related to the verification within magisk app on custom roms
[Android General] kallum7:
does anyone still use this and if so what are you guys doing with the device
[Android General] Spatry:
I just ordered one on Ebay and it should be here in a few days... got it for $150 & I doubt I can get anything better at that low price point. I have seen the Umidigi ROM page and I noticed you mentioned going back to stock. Is there any particular official firmware you would recommend? I doubt I will install TWRP, I will just use SPFlash to install magisk and then use adb shell to uninstall (user 0) apps I will not need. Would be nice if there is a debloat script for this...
[Android General] kallum7:
Hi I would not recommend any stock ROM in fact I am looking to get off the stock ROM and just trying different rooms but I still cannot find any that I like yet so if I was you I would install twrp then once I get back with a custom ROM I will tell you how to install it

---------- Post added at 08:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:45 AM ----------

Also that ROM page you linked to is for a total different device
[Android General] Spatry:
Fixed the link. I did not get the device for the camera. I see people griping about that... after seeing numerous reviews on youtube, it appears this device will adequately serve my needs. My other device is an ONN tablet running stock with OTA updates turned off + twrp, mostly for web surfing and light games; my requirements are not hefty but I do enjoy customizing pie... The Onn is very laggy so it will be nice to have a processor with more muscle. So long as I have Magisk with my favorite modules, I should be good to go... I see that there is an official twrp for this so I might as well grab that too, comes in handy for lots of things. I run Arch Linux as my main OS and it works well with adb and SPFT so I am sure I will not have much difficulty modding this device.
[Android General] marathon2422:
I have had one since they first came out, never done anything to it. ( they are very slippery, dont drop it )

is it easier to debloat it and degoogle, than flash a GSI AOSP rom .the battery life then ,would be amazing . ( without all that wifi triangualtiion and stuff eating your battery)

i have a A5 pro also ,there are a lot of roms for that ( bliss, aosp by phh ) i am using AOSP with f-droid and aurora store
[Android General] Spatry:
I plan on turning off anything I do not use. I prefer Aurora store and Fdroid over GPlay. I will drop chrome in favor of bromite and other stuff. I found a utility which will allow me to uninstall the stock apps I do not need. I should have the device tomorrow or thursday, I already downloaded the latest rom from unidigi and I am ready to flash it along with twrp and magisk. Also grabbed the Gcam build and hope that will be nice. I was able to get acceptable battery life out of my Onn tablet through debloating and I am sure I will get insane power with the 5150mAh battery. Cannot wait!

Update: I got the device and it was a PITA to root, it took several attempts. I had to flash magisk19.3.zip in the 'material' twrp mentioned on the umidigi forum. For good measure I also flashed the orange state disabler. There appears to be a problem with the latest magisk, it freezes when I try to upgrade magisk from 19.3 to 20.04. I can work with 19.3 until there is another update, maybe a bug in the latest manager? Also, I lose touch when trying dm_verity so I gave up on that. Anyway... I did everything else that I planned to do and so far I am pleased with the performance of this device. Much nicer than any android I previously owned.
[Android General] Zahr:
I just use mine for music now since I have Viper4Android on it & haven't been able to root my OnePlus 7 Pro that I bought in April. The touchscreen randomly going crazy on its own was convincing for me to look for a new device.

Have custom ROMs gotten any better for it?
[Android General] Spatry:
I have not seen any information on working roms for this device... I will say that the stock rom this comes with is pretty nice now that I trimmed off the applications I do not use. This phone is pretty lean and mean for the money. They are still on sale @ ebay. I would be interested in knowing if there are other good rom options available in the PIE flavor but I am not in a rush to flash another image as this is satisfactory so far...

I mentioned in my last update that there was a problem with attempting to upgrade magisk. The latest MM (8.0.2) which came out today was able to patch 19.3 to 20.4 so it looks like everything is in good shape. I am still running with forced encryption, I just hope I do not run into problems later because of that.

Update: Magisk handles disabling forced encryption in the boot.img when those settings are set.
[Android General] Frizzle101101:
I cannot for the life of me get a gsi to work, it just boot loops no mater which method i do or how hard i try lol, it just boot loops on my s3 pro, i flash system with fastboot, ive tried wipeing and formating data after and befor nothing is working. Ive also tried flashing magisk and even just stock boot img
[Android General] takenoprisoners:
HELP!!!

So i have an umidigi s3pro that was rooted with twrp and magisk and was running just fine.

Then one day the battery died and it went into a bootloop, which wasn't that big of an issue since i could boot into recovery and reflash.

However, eventually, it no longer booted into recovery. To make things worse, it wont boot into stock recovery either. In fact, i can't get it into anything other than the umidigi bootloop screen. When i try to put it into fastboot or into recovery it just gives me the broken android screen and reads

"No Command".

So this rules out all of my ADB options, Fastboot command options, and of course the message:

"error: device unauthorized. Please check the confirmation dialog on your device."

which obviously, i cannot.

((adb devices returns the device ID and the status "unauthorized"))

Does anyone have some insight into something i can do? or is it time to give up and just chuck this phone into the trash. i've lost way too many hopeful hours trying to restore this phone to no avail.

PLEASE HELP!
[Android General] Nickthegr8:
Goto edl mode and install stock rom using qpst

Then when u have a bootable rom do whatever u want, search this thread for how to do this or umiddigi forum, cheers

using the newest magisk v22.0

Rename it to magistik.zip and flash it in twrp,

Or extract boot.img from the rom file, copy it to ur internal storage and patch it then flash it in twrp replacing boot.img

Is there any rom (android 10 or 11) where the cams works well? Which roms do you suggest to use (no stock please)?

[Android General] kasumik77:
Well I guess my s3 pro is now dead. See, just 2 days ago I was using it normal, suddenly turned off and got me to the TWRP. Installed the stock rom, oem unlocked and tried to reinstall the TWRP, after that, is not booting unfortunately. Flash tools doesn't recognize it and I have all the drivers. Seems like a hard brick, any solution to this problem? If not, gonna search for another phone to get some games on it hehehe. 5 Years, bye old Umidigi, you will be missed.
