so i got my Plus, was still on Marshmallow. It took two OTA updates, then I got around to using this. so i installed twrp, then did a full nandroid backup. after that flashed the stock Nougat update minus the recovery. all was fine, and i let it update and restore all my apps. then i went back to twrp and flashed the newest SuperSU zip from their site. now im rooted on nougat, & totally loving this phone. best $200 ive spent in a long time

I would advice to use the official TWRP & root method that is already provided by UMi -> http://community.umidigi.com/thread-2962-1-1.html
It covers all their recent phones (including the PLUS and the PLUS E).

No need to reinvent the wheel

 

[raupe]

No need to reinvent the wheel

Hmm - I think I was wrong :-/
The wheel has to be reinvented because of an non working TWRP with (some) devices that have been upgraded to Android 7 Nougat.

Some users (including me) facing the problem that the recovery won't start properly even after successful flash of recovery partition with the most recent available version of TWRP (provided by UMi).
These users got the "no command" text presented.

An common but not helping tip in the UMi forum is to press VolUp + Power Button but it changes nothing.
Also downgrading to Android 6 and installing TWRP is mentioned often.
When downgrading to Android 6 some users are running in the next problem: an black screen

Some users are reporting an working TWRP even after upgrade to Android 7.

In conclusion i'd like to speculate:
There are at least 2 different hardware versions.
A new one that can't be run with the downloadable Android 6 provided by UMi and an old one that can be down- and upgraded.
This may also be the reason why TWRP is running for some users and for others it did'nt.

I would be pleased to read your feedback.
Did you run in similar trouble and do we have a mass problem?
Did you found any solution?

Hey mate,

I have the same rare UMi PLUS. Here is how I fixed mine.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ge...y-twrp-cwm-t3385733/post70644780#post70644780

There is a custom built TWRP, with no touch screen functionality. You need to use OTG mouse/keyboard or console commands to root. Took me ages to sort it out, but the SOLUTION is in the above link.

I would love if @jemmini could create a working touch screen TWRP for us! Hint hint, nudge nudge, poke poke! I have tried to create/toyed with porting TWRP myself but am not skilled enough with the kernel modification required to make the touchscreen work. If anyone can explain/teach us how to fix the kernel ourselves, I would be eternally grateful! :good: 'Teach a man to fish' and all that!

Hey @shadimar69!

Thanks for the hint & link.
I found it also earlier but had not posted an self-reply here

There is an incoming new OTA and SPFT (http://www.mediafire.com/file/hh1069alx7v8i6i/PLUS.V3.02_20170208_c239v55_kw_u3_no-DB.rar) maybe it's worth to wait for that because TWRP has should be modified again ...

I could'nt state feedback for that because my girlfriends UMI PLUS is broken and has been send back to amazon for refund :-/

Hi @raupe,

I have been running this 'update' for the last 12 days give or take. It seems good, only BIG bug I have is the touch sensitivity around the ROM is very low. You have to press the screen really hard to get a touch register, but in some apps like Chrome its fine. GPS works fine, bluetooth, etc all the other issues people seem to have are fixed. (for me anyways) Will be good when the next build is released.

Don't you wish Android rooting process was a lil bit easy rooting the LGV20 was a real pain somewhat unstable but it has its ups!

Is there any progress for a new TWRP with working touchsreen for these rare UMI Plus?
I have the same problem like @raupe and since I'm new to UMI, I read a lot of pages in a lot of forums, but no one seem to have a properly working recovery for this kind of UMI Plus.
These days I updated to 20170412_c239v55_kw_u3 firmware and managed to boot successfully the "no-touch"-TWRP.
Now I ordered an OTG cable, but meanwhile I was wondering, if there isn't any new TWRP without this little problem?

Thanks,
