I noticed this too, and Viper4Android can actually fix this too (I'm a huge fan of this mod if you couldn't already tell from all my previous posts about it lol). If you install it and max out the "Playback Gain" under "Speaker" it seems to affect both the regular phone speaker and the earpiece at the top of the phone too. It's not a night and day difference on the earpiece, but it's definitely louder than before. The bottom speaker gets considerably louder though, and you can adjust the bass/EQ to make it a bit thicker and less 'tinny'. The only downside to enabling the Playback Gain boost is that when you pause and play something (like a YouTube video for instance) it takes a short second or two to fade in to full loudness.
If you don't want to install Viper you can try out toggling "BesLoudness" under Settings >> Sounds >> Advanced >> Sound Enhancements. Although this seems to only affect the bottom speaker and not the earpiece or calls.

I haven't encountered that error... I hope you were able to sort it out by now, but if not would you be able to elaborate?
For instance, do you get that message as it boots up on the UMIDIGI logo screen or somewhere else? Did you try reflashing again with SP Flash Tool to make sure everything went through properly?
Do you try this website if it help?

I am still waiting for my phone....
No, this TWRP is made for version 1.3 and after the firmware puts the phone into a cyclic reboot. It is not finalized until the end.
Nobody wants to do TWRP for this phone - because the phone owners are very passive people. They do not want to write and discuss - they are able to wait for someone to make READY TWRP,

orange status
After receiving Ruth - you received an incorrect bootloader with a delay in loading and with an orange status.
It is very easy to fix, you only need to flash one file via Flash Tools: lk.img
These are new files and they are the same - I just indicate that this is for version 1.5
And the bootloader error will disappear and the 5 sec bootloader delay will disappear
I laid it out and 72 people downloaded it - Nobody said thank you, nobody wrote a single line in response. I will have a working TWRP the other day - I ordered it from a competent person who is professionally involved in TWRP. And I ask again - is this TWRP only for me?

It is a pity that on version 1.5 of UMIDIGI POWER no one wants or cannot do TWRP. I asked everywhere - and they are silent everywhere - there is no answer. Only one person promised me to do TWRP.
Only I need this TWRP? Then it’s clear that no one will create TWRP for one person. When one of the owners of the phone crashes the system - then you will search for recovery because you have not previously backed up the system and data, you have not saved IMEI ..... Anyway, this time will come .. After all, this is a regular phone.

TWRP for the UMIDIGI Power
Finally I got TWRP for version 1.5
I checked it - it works fine - makes backup and restores all my partitions. I am very satisfied!
Now I can experiment with firmware and applications - I can always roll back to normally working firmware.
Read the preliminary page above this post. After that, I will not upload ready-made working files for this phone model. After all, nobody needs it

Why during all this time no one wants to ask ghost45 about TWRP
I asked him - he never answered me
Sorry, I'm a bit confused. Are you saying you've found a working version of TWRP for the UMIDIGI Power, but you're refusing to share it because no one helped you with finding a working version of TWRP recovery? I don't mean to sound rude, but this sounds like some backwards thinking.
If you did happen to come across a solution it would be much appreciated if you shared it, if you did not find a solution and are just frustrated with the lack of activity here, that's fine. But this isn't a very popular phone, we can't expect to see a lot of support or activity around it in general.

---------- All you think is your problem. Nobody owes anything to anyone here - it's the Internet --------------------
I ordered TWRP and they collected it for me personally for me with my initials in the header TWRP - I financed it. On what basis should I upload it to the network? If you need it, you can get TWRP for free through the Order Table on the page : https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=789936 . Download the stock BOOT, RECOVERY AND SCATTER FILE FROM OFF Firmware 1.5 - After a while you will receive TWRP for free
I already posted a link to version 1.3 for this phone model https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?s=&showtopic=947978&view=findpost&p=87864709 - it is working. You can ask this developer to collect TWRP for version 1.5 - He will collect it for you completely free within an hour.

Oh, sorry. I was a little confused by your messages, and I wasn't aware of the development going on over on the site you linked. These links help a lot. Thank you very much.
A big thanks to venso - I was able to find the necessary resources to install TWRP 3.3.1 for version 1.5 as well. I hadn't even heard of that forum site until now. Also, credit goes to user nemo-nemo and Chela_vek over on the 4PDA forums for providing the files necessary. I will go ahead and write up a step-by-step guide in English within this thread as soon as I get some free time this weekend.

Many thanks to "SUPER ADMIN" MR. MIKE7UMIDIGI Power Root + TWRP Guide
Sure thing. I planned on doing it last weekend but I ran into some issues after installing it. I wanted to clean up the process a bit before I posted anything. But here ya go, for anyone looking!
-----------------------------------
**IMPORTANT**
THIS PROCESS WILL COMPLETELY WIPE YOUR PHONE TO FACTORY SETTINGS.
YOU WILL NEED AN EXTERNAL SD CARD FOR THIS (USB OTG will work too).
This guide is designed for the v1.5 update for the UMIDIGI Power. You can attempt to use this guide on newer updates when they're released but they may or may not work (I can't test them because they don't exist at the time of writing lol).
Back Up EVERYTHING you want to save!
My Recommendations:
Apps: Titanium Backup (Paid app that only works if you're rooted. If you're not currently rooted, just use Google's automatic app backup.)
Calls / Messages: SMS Backup & Restore
Photos/Videos: Google Photos
Anything Else: Copy to your External SD Card
So let's get started.
If you have already followed my previous "Root Only" Guide, you can skip Steps 1-4 (Step 4 might still be good to verify though).
-----------------------------------
Step 0 - Download the Attached Zip File Below
Google Drive Mirror
Mediafire Mirror
MEGA Mirror
Also, downloading the stock firmware is not necessary for this guide, but here's the link in case you run into issues or need to factory reset with SP Flash Tool.
You can download the latest firmware(s) from the official UMIDIGI forums here.
-----------------------------------
Step 1 - Drivers
Install the MediaTek drivers by running "DriverInstaller.exe".
-----------------------------------
Step 2 - Install ADB Interface
Install the Android SDK (ADB Interface). To do this drop the platform-tools folder (from the Step 2 folder) into your C:\ directory. Press the windows start button and search for "Environment Variables" and click on "Edit environment variables" from the results. Under SYSTEM VARIABLES on the bottom (not User variables above it) click on the "Path" variable, and click edit. In the new window that appears, hit "Browse..." and click on the "platform-tools" folder that you placed in your C:\ directory.
All this does is allows you to easily input adb commands into command prompt with no issues. This will be used to verify that the device is appearing properly and issue commands in case of emergency.
-----------------------------------
Step 3 - OEM Unlocking/USB Debugging Mode
On your phone, go to Settings >> System >> Developer Options. (If you haven't activated Developer Options yet, do that by going to About Phone >> Build number, and tap it a bunch of times, but I'm sure you already know this lol)
In Developer Options, turn on "OEM Unlocking" to unlock the bootloader, and "USB Debugging".
-----------------------------------
Step 4 - Verify That Your Phone is Detected with ADB
Connect your phone to your PC. Make sure you click the "Allow USB debugging" prompt on your phone when it's connected. Then open up Command Prompt. Now, type in "adb devices" and verify that your phone is detected by your computer. If it's detected, then that's perfect you can move on to the next step. If not, then your drivers may not have installed properly.
-----------------------------------
Step 5 - Transfer TWRP Files to SD Card
Copy the "TWRP" folder (from the Step 5 folder) to your external SD card. (The folder cannot be on the phone's internal storage, as it will be wiped!!) You may also replace Magisk with whichever version you prefer, the one included is version 19.3.
-----------------------------------
Step 6 - Set Up SP Flash Tool
Open up SP Flash Tool on your computer by running "flash_tool.exe" in the SP Flash Tool Folder. (If at any time it shows a "Processing" window for some reason, just close and reopen the program if it doesn't go away on its own.) Set Download-Agent to "MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin". Set "Scatter-loading File" to "MT6765_Android_scatter.txt". In the green and white table below set the preloader, recovery, and lk files to the respective files provided in the Step 6 folder.
What are these files?
PRELOADER: The preloader. Flashing it is not always necessary, but SP FLash Tool frequently requests it, so I included it.
RECOVERY: TWRP 3.3.1. (Provided by nemo-nemo.)
LK: This file flashes over the stock lk and prevents the "5 Second Orange State" message at boot from appearing.
Note: The lk.img file provided is only confirmed working for the v1.5 update. (Provided by Chela_vek.)
-----------------------------------
Step 7 - Flash TWRP
Power off your phone and make sure it's UNPLUGGED. On SP Flash Tool, click "Download". This prepares the program to begin flashing your phone as soon as it is connected. Grab your phone with one hand, and with your other hand plug in the USB cable. Your screen should not turn on at all throughout this process, but if it's successful, you should see that the program begins to flash your device after a second or two. Now just wait until it reaches 100% and says "Download Ok" with a green checkmark. TWRP is now installed. But don't boot the phone up just yet.
-----------------------------------
Step 8 - Format and Flash the Zips with TWRP
Your phone is currently encrypted, and you must format the data in order to unencrypt it so TWRP can access its storage. Hold Volume Up + Power and boot into recovery. You should see the TWRP splash screen. The following screen will ask you for a password to decrypt your phone. You can set your language and then skip this. (If you don't select your language, the next screen will be in Russian. Refer to the second image provided for help if you get stuck there.) On the second screen swipe the "Swipe to Allow Modifications" slider.
Once you arrive at the main menu click on Wipe >> Format Data >> then type "yes" to continue. Once the format is complete go to Install >> Select Storage >> Micro SD card and select the TWRP folder you copied over in Step 5.
In this order flash:
1. Magisk
2. Disable Dm-Verity ForceEncrypt (Prevents the phone from automatically encrypting upon boot.)
3. Decrypt Power
(Note: I am not 100% sure if the third file is needed as using it alone didn't seem to work for me the first time [hence the 2nd file I provided], but it is what was provided by nemo-nemo on 4PDA, and I went ahead and just flashed both files on my phone.)
-----------------------------------
Step 9 - You're Done!
Your phone should be good to go. You may now perform a backup using TWRP and boot up your phone!
TROUBLESHOOTING
EVERYTHING WORKS - HOWEVER - PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE ARE A FEW MINOR ISSUES I HAVE ENCOUNTERED.
BOOT ISSUES
There are some issues with it getting stuck at boot and the phone just sits at one of the two "UMIDIGI" boot screens. If your phone does not boot up within 2~3 min, try powering it off and back on again (*I'd wait about ~5 min for big changes like system updates before rebooting). I've found that you may have to reboot up to two additional times from the inital boot up. You will likely encounter this issue each time you perform a backup or flash a major zip file.
One technique that I have found to consistently work should your phone have issues booting, is to open up TWRP, go to one of your backups, and restore "md1img", then boot your phone. Other times I've had to restore everything starting from logo, expdb, (...) all the way down to the bottom with dtbo, vbmeta, etc... and that resolved the issue for me in other cases. I have yet to really narrow it down to a single file (or files), but restoring the md1img usually seems to resolve it for me.
RESTORING BACKUPS
Another thing I found is TWRP sometimes seems to get stuck on restoring System Image or Vendor Image when restoring a backup, so I often skip these, or restore them individually from the rest of the backup.
-----------------------------------
Anyways, sorry for such a long guide. I wanted to be clear and thorough. Hope this helps some of my fellow UMIDIGI Power owners out there! And thanks to the people at the 4PDA forums for providing these files to the community.6Root UMIDIGI Power with Magisk
Sure thing! Here's a Magisk root guide for anyone just getting started that I wrote up just now. (All mentioned files are provided in the zip.)
Step 0 - Download the Attached Zip File Below
Google Drive Mirror
Mediafire Mirror
MEGA Mirror
Step 1 - Drivers
Install the MediaTek drivers by running "DriverInstaller.exe". These are the drivers that worked for me. But if you have issues with them in Step 5, Google "Mediatek MT65xx USB VCOM Drivers" (or some variation of that) and try some others you can find.
-----------------------------------
Step 2 - Install ADB Interface
Install the Android SDK (ADB Interface). To do this drop the platform-tools folder (from the Step 2 folder) into your C:\ directory. Press the windows start button and search for "Environment Variables" and click on "Edit environment variables" from the results. Under SYSTEM VARIABLES on the bottom (not User variables above it) click on the "Path" variable, and click edit. In the new window that appears, hit "Browse..." and click on the "platform-tools" folder that you placed in your C:\ directory.
All this does is allows you to easily input adb commands into command prompt with no issues. This will be used to verify that the device is appearing properly and issue commands in case of emergency.
-----------------------------------
Step 3 - Install Magisk
Copy the Magisk.apk to your phone and install it.
(This is where you can then copy the boot.img to your device and patch it via the Magisk app to create the "magisk_patched_boot.img" file, however I have included the already patched file in Step 6 for the UMIDIGI Power so you don't need to.)
Also, this is the Magisk v19.3 Beta, but you can install another version.
-----------------------------------
Step 4 - OEM Unlocking/USB Debugging Mode
On your phone, go to Settings >> System >> Developer Options. (If you haven't activated Developer Options yet, do that by going to About Phone >> Build number, and tap it a bunch of times, but I'm sure you already know this lol)
In Developer Options, turn on "OEM Unlocking" to unlock the bootloader, and USB Debugging.
-----------------------------------
Step 5 - Verify That Your Phone is Detected with ADB
Connect your phone to your PC. Make sure you click "Allow USB debugging" on your phone. Then open up Command Prompt. (Protip: Type "color a" and press Enter if you want to feel like a REAL HACKERMAN.) Now, type in "adb devices" and verify that your phone is detected by your computer. If it's detected, then that's perfect you can move on to Step 6. If not, then uh... you may have to try and find some other MediaTek drivers mentioned in Step 1.
-----------------------------------
Step 6 - Set up SP Flash Tool
Open up SP Flash Tool on your computer by running "flash_tool.exe" in the SP Flash Tool Folder. (If at any time it shows a "Processing" window for some reason, just close and reopen the program if it doesn't go away on its own.)
On the first line choose "MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin". And the third line "Authentication File" can be left blank.
On the second line where it shows "Scatter-loading File", hit "choose" and find the "MT6765_Android_scatter.txt" file in the Step 6 folder. It'll load up and show a bunch of green/white rows in the space below.
Now this looked intimidating to me at first, but it's actually quite simple. As far as I understand (and I could be wrong but), the scatter file just tells the program where to place certain files, like a map for the program to follow. The scatter file I provided is for the UMIDIGI Power. The only thing we'll worry about for now is the boot.img file (but in the future, this is where you could also install a TWRP recovery once we get one that is confirmed to work.)
So in the white/green list, scroll down to where it says "boot" in the "Name" column, and click on the blank area in the "Location" column. It will bring up a window where you can browse to the "magisk_patched_boot.img" that I provided.
-----------------------------------
Step 7 - The Big Huzzah (Rooting)
Power off your phone and make sure it's UNPLUGGED. On SP Flash Tool, click "Download". This prepares the program to begin flashing your phone as soon as it is connected. Grab your phone with one hand, and with your other hand plug in the USB cable (if you only have one hand, use your mouth I guess). Your screen should not turn on at all throughout this process, but if it's successful, you should see that the program begins to flash your device after a second or two. Now just wait until it reaches 100% and says "Download Ok" with a green checkmark. And you're pretty much done!
You can then boot up your phone and check the Magisk app, as well as download a root checker from the Play Store to confirm that your phone has root access! Have fun!5If 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:
Code: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
