1. Extract drivers and install.

2. Extract flash tool to desktop.

3. Place your trwp.img wherever you like

4. Open program folder and run program.

5. Deselect the first check box, then check the recovery box.

6. Click on the highlighted section, and navigate to wherever you put the recovery image. Then click download.

7. To flash, shut off phone. Plug into computer, hold down power, and volume up. Listen for notification sound. Once done, unplug, and do not power on.

Note: You must boot into recovery after flashing, or twrp will get overwritten if you allow phone to boot. Recovery= vol+up. Once you boot into recovery, you must swipe to allow modification to your system. Enjoy.

Also, if your using windows 10 and having driver issues, check next post.

If your having driver issues, try this.

1. Hit Windows key + X, select device manager, keep window open.

2. Connect phone, via USB cable, and navigate to development options in your device. (Tap build #6x's )

3. Find MTP section and install every driver there, keep an eye in your task bar in your computer to know when driver are fully installed.

4. In devices manager, where you see, a exclamation click to install drivers, but choose the option to manually select, it should give you a drop list. Scroll until you see portable devices, and select.

COM port configuration for LG-Flashtool.

This setup is for LG devices, but UMIDIGI require these drivers. They may need reinstalling, so just follow the same steps as MTP, but look for port/com from the drop list.

1. Hit Windows key +X, and select device manager, keep window open.

2. You must boot into download mode. Phone must be connected. Power off, then hold power + up, and listen for notification sound and let drivers install.

3. In device manager, click LTP/COM3 and choose advanced option to change to COM41, save and exit.

Having problem with Titanium BackUp, not mounting external sdcard. Recently I decided to move the app to /system/priv-app. Now the app mounts properly. Any explorer app that gives you root access, will do the trick. Once you move, create a profile, if you have to re-root the application will detect your device from that point on, always choose to keep device's ID #, that's how Titanium identifies your device.

Xposed not working? I found a mod that will help xposed install properly. All mods are in folder.

There is no serious development for this device, so you have to tweak the hell out of this thing.

There are mods to tweak your CPU, sound. also try Substratum Theme engine, some, Lineage OS/CyanogenMod, themes have been ported over, good news for those of us who hate vanilla.

WARNING: If you try Substratum, stay away from the transparent and vanilla themes, they will break your system, if it's happened, don't panic, if you have a backup just boot into recovery and restore the system partition only. You will lose apps and settings changed after the backup, if you dont, then panic. You should always have a backup, then backup your back, and so on. Just go dark.

I just bought a Mi5 and it's sweet still. Goodnight umidigi, it's been really real. And just got 7.0 update and bootloader unlocked and rooted within hours, that's the kind of support that will keep a company around a long time.

I haven't used GravityBox in a couple of years. I no longer use this device. I'm running AICP, and everything is pretty much baked in.
