my experience is very good .ive rooted the phone and flashed also adblock gps is working good internet very fast lte for the price just amazingUpdate is alive: http://community.umidigi.com/thread-5751-1-1.html
But got many problems saving files son internal SD and the bartery is draining fast. LTE is working good.
Use flashtool to reflash firmware.After the 7.0 Update, i have an issue. If my Umi Plus is connected to my WLAN AP (with other devices no such error), it is rebooting every 10 seconds. If i turn my Access Point off, it stops rebooting itself and if i turn it on again, it is restarting after 5 seconds over and over again. My mobile carrier internet works fine, without any such errors.
I dont want to use my mobile carrier with limit, but my home wlan.
Anyone has similiar issues? If anyone knows the solution please write it
Root is possible using TWRP 3.0.2 for umi.So far so good. Android 7 has made a big improvement to my Super.
Does anyone know if root is possible with this beta and / or whether there's a version of TWRP that will work with it?
Thanks,
Steve
No worries. There's no need to wipe anything after you flashed Supersu in TWRP. One of the best things about Nougat 7 is that it use a different file system then Lollipop and Marshmallow, so you will never again sit and wait while the OS optimize apps (sometimes hundreds if you had a lot of apps installed!!) Just reboot after flash and you good to go. The first boot might bootloop once or twice, no need to do anything it will di everything on its own. Enjoy full root mate.Brilliant, thanks for that @Creedo4Life.
Can you remind my poof befuddled brain please - does flashing TWRP / recovery wipe the device? I should know this but can't remember.
Thanks again.

That's correct, you browse the img file on the ticket recovery (the only one that should be ticked.) click on "download only" while your phone is switched off and then connect it through the usb. It will then flash TWRP and let you know when its done. Now disconnect your phone and hold in power button and volume up simultaneously. When you see the umi logo let go of the power button but keep holding volume up. When you see the TWRP logo you can let go. The first time you boot into TWRP you need to swipe the bar which will allow modifications, you will only have to do that once, the system will then remember it. Good luck and happy rooting.
Quick question - I've only flashed recoveries using adb before, how do I point SPFlashTool at the recovery .img file?
Do I replace the recovery.img file inside the UMI ROM folder, with the TWRP .img file?
And then tick 'Recovery' inside SPFlashTool per your instructions?
Thanks,

That's very odd. I used the exact same supersu myself and never encountered that problem. That version is also compatible with Nougat. Try one of the other versions on https://www.chainfire.eu/Thanks.
Hmm, this is odd though. I managed to get TWRP flashed but whenever I flash that SuperSU and reboot, all my apps complain and keep quitting when I try to launch them. I've been careful to wipe cache after flashing, as usual.
In fact I've rried wiping everything cache, dalvik, - even started again from an entirely factory-wiped device, including data.
Flashed a fresh copy of the Nougat beta ROM, booted up fine. Flashed TWRP, booted up fine but then I reboot to recovery, flash SuperSU and bingo - on my next reboot all the apps starts complainin that they have stopped - even Launcher.
Weird...

I follow this procedure but I only obtain partial root. I cannot cut and paste in the system partition even though I can run some apks that require root. Is there a way I can obtain full root?Root is possible using TWRP 3.0.2 for umi.
I've attached a zip file of the TWRP version below, unzip it and flash using SPT flashtool, you need to untick all the other boxes and just tick the recovery and direct it to where you unpacked the zip file.
I've also attached the Super su i used to root the beta 2 for the umi super. Flash it in TWRP.
You have full root, you just don't know it.I follow this procedure but I only obtain partial root. I cannot cut and paste in the system partition even though I can run some apks that require root. Is there a way I can obtain full root?
No, you need to flash beta 2 using SPFT, there is no zip file to use with TWRP for this.Hi,
I'm on 3.02-20161121 version and my phone is rooted: may I flash Nougat via TWRP, instead of using SP Flashtool?
Thanks
I have a similar problems. However in my case many of the apk still working include play store. Just the apks that needs internet quit working.Thanks.
