Sorry about that. It looks like MediaFire may have modified the zip I uploaded because it's missing those files. The other two mirrors (Google Drive and MEGA) look completely fine though. I assume it may have been some automated "virus remover" thing or something (there aren't any viruses btw) on MediaFire that removed the files because the file I uploaded to those three different sites was identical. I'll take a look at that link when I get a chance.

It was entirely my fault, sorry! I linked to the "ROOT ONLY" guide file by mistake rather than the new file I had uploaded. The other links were all fine though.

As for your ROM issues, (assuming you were able to get ahold of the proper preloader/LK/recovery files) if you haven't already attempted to restart the whole process from scratch and downloaded the stock firmware to reflash it, you should try that. Otherwise it could be that maybe the files I provided are not compatible with the update version you're on. (I am currently on the Aug 26th v1.5 update, I haven't yet set aside the time to test out the latest update on my phone yet.) Sorry you're experiencing these issues, I'll try to find some time to test stuff out myself, but I hope you are able to get it resolved.

Thanks man, just have a problem, when I will format the data in TWRP you can not write yes, I write yes on the keyboard and no key works, another thing, when I will install the magisk TWRP simply restarts all in Russian and I Don't flash the magisk.

Dude could you please make a backup of your ROM, it could be any good now, please could you make a backup so I can flash it via SP_FLASH_TOOL, please dude I already tried I tried to install a GSI ROM on my device, I tried magisk, I tried TWRP and nothing works, please man I really beg you to help me, I'm totally desperate, I install the ROM stock of the device everything is bugged, no matter what version of rom stock, fingerprint does not work, google play does not work, quick step does not work, no password, can not clear any data and applications, can not uninstall applications, please man I really beg you to help me God will reward you 100x please man.
[Android General] SeekerofLight.iz:
I noticed from your screenshot your scatter-loading file says " UMIDIGI_Power.E_V1.2_20190531". First thing to note is that everything in my guide is design for V1.5, not V1.2. The other thing is the "E" after Power.E. Could it be possible that you have an EU device and you've been flashing the Global ROMs on it, or vice versa?

And I don't have any special stock ROM, I'm just on the "UMIDIGI Power V1.5_20190826" version which can be found here. Providing my own ROM to flash wouldn't be any different from you flashing v1.5_20190826, which has already been provided on that site, and either way I have encountered issues attempting to deconstruct the firmware on my phone to be usable by SP Flash Tool, so I couldn't provide it anyways, unfortunately. Sorry.

I'm not sure if you've already been to this link, but if you're looking for all of the available ROMs you can find them below.
[Android General] GBytesBluue:
So man, there was one of the ROMs I was testing, I already tested all ROM Stocks, including 1.5 I tried all the European versions, and all still have this same problem.

I don't know what to do anymore.

Look, I'll tell you everything I did, when I received the smartphone it was working normally, then about 1 hour later appeared a software update, oh beauty.

I went to update and then that came the problem, the phone just went into bootloop, he restarted the phone and went to the update and kept repeating it, I really tried to enter the recovery mode of the phone to give a factory reset but always entered the instance, so I took a ROM stock from the umidigi.com official site and tried to install it, but when I hit "Download" to install the phone it turned on again at installation, so I saw that there on SP_FLASH_TOOL I had the "Format" option so I I put in "Auto Format" and "Format whole flash" and gave Start, oh well he formatted and I was able to install Rom Stock, but there was the errors of the image above, most functions of the smartphone does not work, as digital, play store, and many other things that could not be used on the smartphone, since then I am trying to find a solution, tell me if I did something wrong, if it was Format or something, please.
[Android General] SeekerofLight.iz:
Oh, so what you're saying is you never actually tried to mod the phone at all when these issues started appearing? The issues began occurring only when you tried to update normally through the built-in "Wireless Update" software? I'm inclined to believe that maybe your device is faulty if it's having issues running perfectly clean stock ROMs. I know this probably isn't exactly what you'd want to hear, especially with the time you've already put into this, but you may consider contacting the supplier for a working replacement. Most software issues are fixable by completely wiping everything and starting from scratch, but you've clearly already tried that. So at that point I'd consider maybe it has more to do with the specific device you received more than anything?
[Android General] GBytesBluue:
So I requested a dispute on aliexpress, and aliexpress offered me two bids, one refund and one refund and return, I wanted to choose the refund and return but I don't know how much it is to send the smartphone from Brazil back to China, if you know please let me know.
[Android General] SeekerofLight.iz:
I wouldn't, sorry. But if you check out the website of some of the international shipping companies that might deliver in your area like DHL, they usually have shipping estimate calculators on their sites to give you an idea of the cost I think. Click on the "Get a Rate and Time Quote" button for example and put in some approximate from/to locations and they'll give you some estimates.
[Android General] GBytesBluue:
Okay I'll try, just one question you thinks if you could install a GSI ROM on the phone would the problems go away?

Hello, I have received my UMIDIGI POWER European version and as much as I try I do not get the custom recovery TWRP 3.3.1, Every time I try it stays in bootloop.

What am I doing wrong or, is there a different version of the TWRP for the UMIDIGI Power.E V1.4 20190829, UMIDIGI_Power.E_V1.2_20190625 and UMIDIGI_Power_V1.4_20190611 or if to implant the TWRP I have to flash another version. Please help.

Thank you PS: I have followed the common fastboot procedure that worked with my previous UMIDIGI F1, changing the TWRP logically, but with good results unlike the UMIDIGI POWER.
[Android General] venso:
For the European version, there is TWRP at this link: https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?s=&showtopic=947978&view=findpost&p=87864709

You need to go through a simple registration as in regular mail and you can download from there both files and instructions.

If you do not want to download from 4pda --- I already made links to these files for FlashTool and for TWRP

Here is the instruction for the firmware:

First unlock the bootloader: - Firmware (Post nemo-nemo # 58113672)

Next, the firmware plan:

0) Record or Move the archive with Magisk and the archive to disable encryption on the EXTERNAL memory card

https://www.mediafire.com/file/9b15e7fvvtcr4pt/TWRP_Decrypt_Root_1.3.zip/file

1) Flash a TWRP file via fastboot or via Flash Tools - it’s faster

https://www.mediafire.com/file/z48i0ayz0vq79xg/FlashTools_TWRP_3.1.1_1.3.zip/file

2) IMMEDIATELY immediately after the firmware, enter TWRP without booting into the system, otherwise TWRP will crash to the drain.

3) When prompted to enter a password, answer Cancel

4) Make data formatting. Through - YES

5) Restart immediately again to TWRP mode

6) Sew the file in the TWRP --- disable encryption of the Flash archive.

7) Again, immediately reboot into TWRP mode

8) Flash the Magisk file

9) Reboot into the system, the root is received.

I was flashing both the European version and the Global one on the same phone - I did not see any differences. And also TWRP - they just make confusion - it's the same phone.
[Android General] lmmerono:
All OK at first following your instructions and downloading the files and APK you indicated.

I am very grateful, I repeat, Thank you very much.
[Android General] venso:
I'm happy for you!

(Thank you, it's customary to click on the Thank you button under my post)
[Android General] lmmerono:
I have to expand my information so that it is also useful to the rest of the classmates:

Following your instructions I got the version that came installed, the "UMIDIGI Power (EU) V1.4_20190829 ROM - SPFT + OTA release" and I remain in brick soft for more than always repeated the same brick.

Thinking about the logic of, "If it worked for others, why not me?" which immediately made me understand that it was the version, that the one I had was more recent with what the previous version flashes, the "UMIDIGI Power (EU) V1.2_20190625 ROM - SPFT + OTA release" and so on It worked almost well because the included file "lk.img" did not correspond to the one that version v1.2 had, the solution, edit my lk.img leaving the Orange message in spaces etc. etc saving it and flashing that file in lk1 and lk2 the warning disappears and everything, I repeat, everything worked at least 150%.

Thank you very much and you already save, if you do not enter the first version V1.2 and clean the file OF THAT version and everything OK.

Greetings to all.;)
[Android General] venso:
I can not understand from your post. Did you install TWRP or not?

Does TWRP work ---- does backup and restore from backup?
[Android General] lmmerono:
Hello, I said, I installed the TWRP + LK.IMG in my version 1.4 and there was softbrick. .

Then I installed the TWRP in version V1.2 plus the LK.IMG included in the package and there was again softbrick. .

Then install only the TWRP included in your link and NOT the lk.img in version V1.2 and eureka, it worked perfectly, delete data twice and then decrypt in mobile, restart in TWRP and flashing Magisk and after all that process, reboot into System and then back to TWRP to make the backup that came out perfect.

The biggest problem lies in the LK.img file,

which must be of the same version as the stock,

otherwise softbrick

.
[Android General] venso:
It's a good news.

The LK.IMG file removes the inscription Orange and a 5sec delay when the system boots. The LK.IMG file I gave from version 1.3 for version E

In any case, TWRP booted up and you made a backup copy of the phone. Have you tried to restore some part of what you saved? For example, Date or any other small section. How does the reboot process go to the System?

Having problems with wifi calling and the phone connection randomly dropping

I haven't rooted phones in awhile, but I was wondering if anyones had similar issues with the wifi calling not working and the phone connection dropping as well? The bar at the top will just say no network connection, then I'll have to restart it to get it going again. Also, when I'm on wifi and have the wifi calling on, it'll say no service or emergency calls only at the top, but sometimes I can still get calls and texts. And when I send a text, it takes 3-4 min to go through. Has anyone rooted the phone and have seen these problems go away?
[Android General] venso:
I rutted the phone and I have no such problems with WIFI. Everything works fine, quickly and without breaks.

I would advise you to flash only the System section for your firmware version through FlashTools. Perhaps this will fix the problem with Wi-Fi
[Android General] mg95tux:
Hi guys, did anyone try flashing a gsi over twrp? If yes, how did it go? Works well or there are some major bugs? Note that I'm willing to do some tests here, stock rom is pretty sluggish for my usage, and I think the phone could run smoother without it
[Android General] Alamoo:
Is there any additional news about orange state?

I'm in that situation. No high speed access at the moment so no factory image to restore to.

In a boot loop, can't download from TWRP links

Can't seem to finish downloading those TWRP files.

So I'm in fastboot mode waiting. It's got a great battery life while I'm trying to download working recovery image. Can anyone put it on WeTransfer, I can't seem to get it from the other links.

Anyone backed up lk2?

I accidentally flashed lk2 with lk1.img and now it won't boot into system.
[Android General] venso:
I flashed LK2 and LK1 from version 1.3 to 1.5 separately and together through Flash Tools and nothing affected the system boot. No cyclic bootloaders. If you have a problem, then it’s very easy to flash these files through the scatter file from the official firmware and flash them through Flash Tools

---------- Post added at 08:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:29 PM ----------

Download the official firmware and flash it again ------ Who and what are you waiting for?

---------- Post added at 08:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:32 PM ----------

Can't you do it yourself, or are you waiting for someone to do this for you on your phone? Take it and then share your experience. No need to wait for someone to do this for you.
[Android General] Alamoo:
You say it's very hard to kill this phone...I may have found a way! I decided to lock the bootloader with fastboot. Now when I boot up, there's no display, nothing happening. As a glimmer of hope, when I plug it into a computer, it recognizes it by playing 'device connected' sound but then 'device disconnected' sound soon after like it's in a loop. I think I'll try to get factory image somehow and flash as a last attempt.

It's actually a great phone, maybe I should have just accepted it as is; those first hours with it were magical. Cheerio
[Android General] venso:
Try to download this ROM - this is a fully finished official one and through Flash Tools write it down - it will restore your phone without a single error. The phone will work 100 percent. I just requested this ROM. I had Ruth - everything returned to the factory settings - everything works

Prior to this, I wrote down firmware from version 1.3_EU on version 1.5_Global and vice versa - everything works fine. On one phone, I changed the firmware from different versions of 1.2_EU to 1.4_Global - 1.3_EU to 1.5_Global, there were no problems. Launch Flash Tools and through the scatter file download the firmware and click on the Download Only button. As soon as the phone screen goes blank (You have a cyclic bootloop) - immediately connect it to the Computer. The firmware will start - a maximum of 3 minutes and everything will work

My phone came with version 1.4_Global - I have already flashed it 10 times and gave Ruth rights - but now I have installed 1.3_Europe. Installed Ruth rights and installed TWRP - formatted the Data section and TWRP sees the internal memory.

Mount system rw

Finally got the TWRP and root to take.

I'm not able to mount system read write tho.

The whole point was to make changes to APN conf files, but I can't save files in read only /system.

Was the decrypt zip supposed to allow write access to /system.

Everyone able to mount /system rw?

And explain how?

Thanks
[Android General] venso:
I downloaded the link 20 minutes ago that I gave you and updated my phone with this file - there are no errors.

Maybe your flash drive is not of good quality, or your unpacker is damaged, or is the Anti-Virus system abnormal? Look for the problem in these three points.

The problem is only on your side - From writing to a USB flash drive a downloaded file to unpacking it on a computer. Replace the flash drive - or format it.

I have the Total Commander - it already has all the unpackers.
[Android General] Alamoo:
Edited system file, it got restored to original!

For those wanting to edit system configuration XMLs, FX File Manager is a great app from Play store. Once it's granted root access, u can click an icon and it will mount system partition read/write.

I was able to find apn-conf.xml and add the correct APN and settings and save it. However when I re-entered SIM, the file reverted back to original! I had even changed it to read only. I think Android and the carriers don't want u messing with their default configurations.

I don't mind except that when I turn on hotspot, I can connect but get no internet.

Still researching more, but it appears with each succeeding Android version, the carriers have more control of the system. It may not be solvable so I'll have to keep switching my SIM out to my older phone just to get a working hotspot ?.

If anybody finds a better solution, please let me know.

At least now I got a functioning rooted phone thanks to all the info I found here.

Cheerio
[Android General] venso:
All this is in the application Total Commander

Writing and reading, 2 panels for any actions with folders and files, changing attributes - clearly. Unpacking and packaging - a lot of opportunities.
[Android General] venso:
I understand that it was possible to restore the phone to working condition, plus make Root and install TWRP?
[Android General] Alamoo:
Yes, thanks for all your help, I followed your steps and it's fully working!

I was able to attempt to modify my apns-conf.xml file but I still can't get hotspot to work properly. I think the carriers are making it harder. I'll see if there are other workarounds.

Cheerio

If anyone is interested, I built twrp for latest 1.5 firmware (v1.5_20190826)

twrp: drive.google.com/open?id=1JYEX-UBQ8kWiZVu0TtGTZ2Wq21-mLxZ5

lk.img needed to suppress annoying orange state warning: drive.google.com/open?id=1nDbQJZ5exkES7QTF_jdL-KiNf5dOzaSO (flash it on both lk and lk2)

stock vbmeta.img, in case you don't already have it: drive.google.com/open?id=1MoF8iyJBN_u-uHi8myMwJZRnVTzAq6IZ

scatter file, if you don't already have it: pastebin.com/i6dcUwMa

Flash those files only on top of v1.5_20190826 firmware!. flashing lk.img in other firmware versions will cause your ROM not to boot 'till you reflash the stock one, while if you flash twrp in other firmware versions, it won't boot only the recovery. With firmware I mean at least the needed partitions from that version, you can ofc flash other roms or GSIs on top of that

Unlocked bootloader is needed!

I'm not responsible of damages caused by wrong, interrupted flashes and so on

After flashing twrp you'll have to disable dm-verity (in case you didn't do it before), otherwise, when you boot to recovery, the device will just reboot instead of booting to twrp.

To do that, boot the device to fastboot mode and flash stock vbmeta.img (I provided it in case you don't want to download stock rom) with this command:

fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

sources: github.com/DeadSquirrel01/android_device_umidigi_power

The recovery is still under testing, even though I've already tested the main features

Update 02/20/2020 : Add busybox to have useful command line tools

So I got a question. Does the bootloader need to be unlocked prior to trying to follow the TWRP and/or the Magisk process? Because I tried to do the Magisk flashing process listed here and my Power got a Red State error and got stuck in a bootloop. Unless I missed something, then I would appreciate the help.

First of all, you need to unlock the bootloader and only then do the rest

Clarification

Hi,

i have spent a few hours with installation instructions from other sites ... to no avail. Would you please excuse me for asking for a few clarifications, before I try this method? I have downloaded the files linked above. since my flashtool invariably hangs I would like to flash using adb. I have "UMIDIGI_Power.E_V1.4_20190829" and I think I cannot change that, again, since flashtool, as I said, freezes on me when I try to start the process.

So then I:

On my PC:

- adb reboot bootloader

- fastboot flashing unlock

- fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (from the folder TWRP_3.1.1_1.3)

- fastboot flash lk lk.img (from the folder TWRP_3.1.1_1.3)

- fastboot reboot recovery

On my phone:

- 3) When prompted to enter a password, answer Cancel

- 4) Make data formatting. Through - YES

- 7) Again, immediately reboot into TWRP mode

- In TWRP, flash "Disable_Dm_Verity_ForceEncrypt_08.18.2019.zip" (which I copied onto my phone)

- In TWRP, flash "Magisk_19.3" (which I copied onto my phone)

- 9) Reboot into the system, the root is received.

Is that the correct sequence?

UMIDIGI_Power.E_V1.3_20190720

UMIDIGI_Power_V1.5_20190720

In this case, everything works and there is no bootlap.

After that, the firmware came out in the month of August - 20190826

UMIDIGI_Power.E_V1.4_20190829

UMIDIGI_Power_v1.5_20190826

And on these firmware glitches begin when installing TWRP.

My advice to you --- Sew your phone one version below, namely on UMIDIGI_Power.E_V1.3_20190720

And then you can flash TWRP.
