It will do a factory reset. But there is a trick you can use to prevent that.

You will need a copy of your seccfg partition from when you are in a locked state.

You use so flash tool and flash that locked state partition image and phone will show as locked without needing a reset. Same goes for the other way around. You make a copy of the partition when unlocked, you use flash tool when you are locked and flash the backup from when you were unlocked and you are now unlocked again, all without extra factory resets.

Do not get confused with this method, you can't share the file between devices, it will not work. And has potential to do harm
[Android General] InTheY2K:
Nice trick, thank you!

There's only one thing:

I don't have a backup of this partition. Phone is unlocked now, so there's no going back without a lot of extra work setting it up from scratch again.

Given the risk and effort, the benefit of not seeing the warning message doesn't seem so big any more. [emoji4] I guess I will leave it like that.

I do not understand why you want to relock bootloader ?

Couldn't it be bypassed by flashing a new boot splash screen ?

This trick was used on LG G4 to avoid the ugly warning message when bootloader was tempered.
[Android General] InTheY2K:
Merely for cosmetic reasons because I wanted to get rid of the warning message during boot up (and save 5 seconds of waiting time). And because the manual implied that it was as easy as using the command "fastboot flashing lock".

[MENTION=9938840]Damir2018[/MENTION] Made some progress with trying to change the debug level to 'Engineer Mode'. Referenced the link below and had some positive responses trying to activate log features then change debug level. So far under the 'Log and Debugging' section, I enabled the Telephony Log Setting. After doing this and restarting, attempting to change the debug level no longer presents the toast message. So that's the progress. My guess is that there is one more log setting that needs to be enabled.

Has anyone with a rooted device tried unlocking Camera2 API Level_3 and attempted to capture RAW in OpenCamera? I just realized that the Helio P60 chipset usually can't handle 48mpx camera, and usually when I take a 48mp photo, it automatically downsamples to 16mp in Google Photos.

Can this device actually even take 48mp photos? :eek:

I'd check this myself but this is actually my daily driver right now and I don't wanna move data around too much.
[Android General] BlurtFlabber:
If you take a photo on 48mpx mode and click on it within the camera app just after taking it, it appears to be full 48mpx. When viewing later via Google Photos is appears to be downsampled.

Hello..

Need your help here...

Bought this phone from official store at AliExpress it has ROM UMIDIGI_F1_v1.0_20190124. The OTA said the phone is up to date which is no true.

At the UMIDIGI official forum found this old ROM version and it is in the subforum of UMIDIGI F1 and not in the subforum of the UMIDIGI F1 Play.... Could some one point me in the right direction to download the last ROM version for this phone..??

UMIDIGI F1

UMIDIGI F1 Play

I'll try to do a manual OTA update....

Thanks

Besides the power button... How do you implement the OPEN/CLOSE in this phone ..?? I* miss the "double TAP to open" and the "drawer lock icon" of the xiaomi phones

Still, that is a bad way to name an updated version of a ROM lool
[Android General] cml.snc:
You rock... so in your opinion we already have the update that people are talking about.. ?? concerning the fixes for camera etc..etc... ??

Last but not the least... some people use the fingerprint to open/~close the phone. I would if there is no other choice but without pin, password etc. etc . I miss the implementation of the rocket volume to open/close, the double tap to open/close etc. etc. how do you implemented it..??

thanks...
[Android General] amdeng:
Yep, you should have whatever is in the latest update's fixes.

As for the gestures that you are talking about, this phone doesn't seem to have those ones built-in. You could install apps for those if you want. I think some 3rd party home launchers include a gestures feature such as Nova Launcher, so you can try that out. I don't really use such gestures so I can't really help too much.

Can take full 48 MP shots.

Works: Lens Blur, Pano, Camera, Photo Sphere.

But I really wanted night sight... I wonder how the p30 pro does it. It uses the Sony IMX 586, which other than being a true 48mp sensor as opposed to our fake stuff... We should have similar results, no?

Just received an OTA update. Despite the device being unlocked and rooted.

Root is lost, so is unlock.

New camera app on top of the old one (which is still there).

New camera has night mode (working quite well).

All my custom ringtone settings have been overwritten with stock ones.

Android security patch STILL on January version. >:(

[Android General] BlurtFlabber:
After you mentioned this I went into the System Update option and "checked for updates".

Settings / System / Advanced / System Update

It said my system was up to date.

So, I went into:

Settings / System / Advanced / About Phone / Wireless Update

.... and it found the update!

Mine updated and added the new camera app, not to the main screen, but to the app list screen. It still isn't the most functional app (and yes, now there are TWO camera apps). I agree, night mode is amazingly good.

My system info is different than yours! It doesn't have an E in the number and ends differently. I'll attach a photo in my follow up post. I can't seem to locate where I saved it at the moment.

Oh, and the reason it's still on the old security patch, is that it seems this update was created back in January!

Not sure why they're sending out updates from January, and different versions as well.

I didn't say that. But the phone is neither unlocked nor rooted anymore after the update. To root it again I would have to unlock it once again and that would mean another factory reset. And I don't feel like going through all the pain again to set up my phone like it is right now. All the settings, all the apps would be gone. [emoji20]

flashed the latest OTA update and now I can't boot into system; only boot into TWRP... Guess I'll take this opportunity to flash a GSI bliss rom.

Anyone know what ROM I should pick? Are we A or AB Rom?

EDIT: Fastboot flashed Bliss ROM, when I rebooted it automatically took me to TWRP recovery again instead of booting up system.

EDIT: Flashed other other stuff too, but they all brought me back to the modded twrp during reboot to system... Is the F1 Play an A/B Slot device?

EDIT: Had to finally resort to flashing stock 2019070915 UMIDIGI ROM via flash tool; finally worked. Got Magisk back up and running, but I think I'm going to avoid TWRP. God damn, I spent so long setting up my phone.
[Android General] amdeng:
Not sure if it was the update or not, but I was also stuck booting to TWRP no matter how many times I selected to reboot to system. Used flash tool to just get a fresh install and then rooted without TWRP instead. So far, I haven't had any recovery bootloop issues, so maybe there is a problem with TWRP and latest update right now. Anyone else have similar issues or know why this might have happened?

**After update and rooting via TWRP, I was able to boot into system for a few restarts but then got stuck booting to TWRP only.
[Android General] convolution:
Must have been the OTA update... Do you have the Ghost#45 modded twrp from umidigi forum?
[Android General] amdeng:
I didn't have the modded TWRP but the latest one from the TWRP site for the F1 Play.
[Android General] mrmazak:
These recent post , about loosing root after an OTA , are , well obviously correct.

OTA update is supposed to update the system and boot partition (even though this is system as root device). And this update process will remove root.

Because magisk root is on the boot.img.

As for the bootloops to recovery after the update, well that a known issue. And a somewhat simple solution.

The Stock system sets a reboot code into the misc partition. Or call it the " para" (parameter) partition. Stock recovery wipes this data on an update or reset. Twrp is not doing this. But you can clear the reboot recovery command using terminal in twrp.

I have even added the wipe command to my Own port Of twrp. (Added to fstab).

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/bootdevice/by-name/para count=1 bs=32

Same thing I mentioned in this post a while back in the F1 thread.

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=79638705&postcount=2
[Android General] InTheY2K:
Thanks for the explanation.

In other words, there is no getting back to root without wiping the phone and reinstalling/setting up everything from scratch?

I'll pass then. :(

Gesendet von meinem F1 mit Tapatalk
[Android General] mrmazak:
Choose your own, but that is not quite what I am said.

Well, if the bootloader is getting relocked, then yes, that forced locking step , most likely will trying force a wipe. HUM, which might be what is causing the bootloop.

. ok , im off the download the update so i can read the updater-script.

--- nothing special in the script.

;(
[Android General] InTheY2K:
Alright, I checked again and take back everything.

In the developer settings the switch "OEM unlock" is disabled and says bootloader is unlocked. Therefore I rebooted the phone and the splash screen still shows the warning message that the device is unlocked and can't be trusted.

I'll push the modded boot.img again and see if that works.

EDIT: IT DID! Hooray! As easy as 1, 2, 3... Indeed the bootloader unlock was left untouched by the OTA update. I managed to flash the patched boot.img again, and back I have my root access. Yay!

Now I can try to change the WiFi settings according to the recommendation of [MENTION=8895309]BZ0RG[/MENTION]

Didn't work. I backed up the WiFi connection from my old Samsung Galaxy S4, which is able to connect to the hidden network, and restored it onto my F1 Play. But alas, it behaves the same way as if I entered the details manually. Shows the network but does not connect to it. :(

Sorry if this sounds a little nooby but does this device support Substratum theming? I love the phone but not all the bright white theme.

[Android General] d1876j:
It can't be themed google block pie unless you root the device
[Android General] Coffee Freak:
Thanks, but some devices running Pie still won't theme rooted. What I am trying to find out has anyone who rooted this device successfully themed?
[Android General] Coffee Freak:
Well, since nobody knew, I bit the bullet and rooted the phone. Tried Substratum. It doesn't work on this device. The firmware isn't stock enough I guess. So in my opinion it's a good device but what's the point of rooting if you can't mod it. Maybe custom ROMs in the future but right now it's a waste of time. I have been buying Umidigi devices for 3 years now. They never get security patch updates or major os updates just minor bug fixes. When they get to be a year out of date on the security patch I give them to my kids. Shame, because they are good solid hardware.

GSI ROMs are available, you may have to deal with backing up and restoring IMEI beforehand.

Ask umidigi advanced user about what is currently (/not) working ?
[Android General] Coffee Freak:
I have read through the threads on the GSI roms. Maybe some day but some of the features, hot spot, Verizon I need right now. Thanks for the suggestion.
[Android General] PunkJax:
You don't lose your IMEI as long as you properly read the instructions on how to use SP Flash Tool (their translation on the app itself is weird and the "obvious selection" in English is the wrong option and deletes your IMEI). Regardless, you should make a copy of your IMEI or take a pic of it when you get a new phone.

I WOULD still look into ways of backing up stuff because unlocking the bootloader factory resets the phone.

From what I hear, GSI ROMs generally have issues with VoWifi and VoLTE. There may be ways to get around this, but I am not too familiar at the moment. Will have to do some tests when I get the chance next month.

[Android General] InTheY2K:
We can't expect to get any Android Security Updates any time soon, I'm afraid. The UMIDIGI support (harshly) responded to my request that they are not aware of any vulnerabilities currently, that they are not informed ahead of time of the releases of such updates and that they generally cannot and will not support their devices for a longer period of time because they "produce 30 new models in three years and as they are no premium vendor cannot support their devices for three years" like I suggested.

Cheap, really cheap.

It's a shame. The hardware seems wonderful given the price tag.

They seem to simply not care. Develop a new device., throw it out onto the market and forget about it. Like "Done, on to the next one. "

Bluetooth off, can't even change codec. On, can change, but resets when leaving developer options. Connected, changes after leaving developer options.
