Only concerns about engraved type-c port

I don't know why they design in that way, only few adaptors and cables fits correctly, the others don't go inside and make stable connection for charge and data trasfer [emoji33] [emoji25]
How about the camera quality, and battery performance ?

My Unboxing and Review (Italian Language comment)
Good device for the price, really concerns about engraved type-c, bad choice by the designers, incredibile to see for a brand that had many models with correct type-c

Is anyone able to advise how to flash the UMI Plus Android N rom provided in their beta testers group?

I can't seem to get the mediatek drivers installed properly so i can flash with SP Flash Tools on windows 10 x64?

When i turn the power off to the UMI Plus & connect it to the computer i can see the device appear in device manager (with exclamation mark) but then it immediately disappears?

The procedure is the same, for Android 6 and Android 7.
You have preloader/VCOM driver issue in windows 10 caused by necessity to put unsigned drivers.

When you turn off and connect to pc, it's normal to see it in the devices, but only for few seconds.. it's preloader phase..
So please check driver and windows 10 following this guides:

Thanks for the info however i have already followed these steps to install the driver on windows 10 x64 by disabling driver signing.

This is what i'm doing:
  • turn phone on & enable usb debugging
  • turn phone off
  • open sp flash tool (v5.1640)
  • select the scatter in the Android N rom provided by http://community.umidigi.com/thread-5099-1-1.html
  • uncheck preloader (not sure if this is correct), leave everything else checked
  • select download
  • connect phone immediately

Once phone is connected nothing happens.

Must i put the phone in download mode or something?

UMi Plus’ Android N optimization continues, second beta pushed to testers!



Some weeks ago, we received the news that UMi was going to start a beta test program for the Android N release on the UMi Plus, which has the goal to collect the most possible feedbacks from the community in order to better understand what users would like to see in the next major update and to find and address the issues of the Beta software.

Now, we received the news that a second beta was pushed out at here ( http://community.umidigi.com/thread-5206-1-1.html ), which addressed the aforementioned bugs and introduced the Pro-photo mode, like in the Marshmallow version.

The beta test ROM is only available for installing via Flashtool, UMi claimed that experimenting with the system software of your phone may permanently brick it driving to lose your warranty. And retailers are not obligated to deal in warranty with devices ruined by overwriting the system software by the user.

So if you are not experienced users, we recommend you to try it when OTA is pushed.
