Whats new in v1.1
--- Full Tweaking init.d Support enabled and added 4.4.3 compatible tweaks
--- Network Tweaks for faster server response
--- Deep Sleep Tweak Enabled
--- Battery Backup will improve noticeably. ZERO DRAIN when screen off.
--- Ram Optimization after every reboot
--- Sqlite3 Optimization after every reboot
--- Auto Cache Management
--- Fixed FC in FactoryTest Mode (Hidden menu Calibration)
--- Wifi performance improved
--- Faster UI rendering via GPU
--- Improved photo and video recording quality
Whats wrong/missing?
--- Off-screen gestures is intentionally removed for better battery backup, because it is main culprit in faster-drain of battery. It will not be added in my ROM now or in future. But you can try any Free App available on Google Play Store for the same. Kindly do not send request for adding it. I don't want freaking panic reports for battery drains.
Important: Screen Gestures are still working perfectly. For GOD's sake read and understand that Offscreen gestures and Screen Gestures are different things. Those who will again ask it will be recognized as nothing but n00bs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Question 1) My phone is not rooted. Can I go with this 4.4.3?
Answer: Yes of course. This can be directly flashed on Unrooted phones with SPFT method. So with this flash you automatically get TWRP 2.7.1.0 Recovery and Fully Rooted ROM! SPFT Unbricks Phone. UNBRICK MEANS, when phone is dead or everything is messed or bootloops or partition table damaged or blank screen or corrupted rom, etc. etc. Just flash with this method and you are back on FRESH 4.4.3 ROM. Flashing Rom from recovery may always get issues if method is wrong or tables not compatible or any wierd issues but Flashing with SPFT means resetting of partition tables and flashing all content in every partition like A COMPANY gives you.
Question 2) My PC/Laptop is not detecting my Phone while flashing. What to do?
Answer: Above drivers worked for me flawlessly. Phone was detected in first try but there are members who reported that they did it 2/3 times and then phone was detected. Well it is weird but you can try installing driver and rebooting pc and repeat it 2/3 times. When it installs the flashing tool will show COM3 serial port connected message at bottom right corner as shown in this image.
If everything fails, try this new USB2Serial Driver which I have recently found from iBerry's official rom package and it should help. DOWNLOAD USB2Serial Driver
Question 3) SPFT Flashing fails with message "PMT changed for the rom it must be downloaded" What to do?
Answer: That error means that the partition table present in the phone is different from the partition table that the rom ur trying to flash to the phone needs. There is drop down with few flashing modes. "Download only" mode doesn't reformat the phone's partitions to what the new rom needs, so you have to choose the "Firmware Upgrade" mode option, that will apply the new formatting table following the settings of the rom you are trying to flash.

Downloading sir. Thank you.
A small clarification please sir.

Working on 4.4.4 now. It will come for sure before iBerry even can think of :laugh:
Android update was major task for me. I can not even think of custom roms when the features are not working fine in stock rom. So first mission is perfect camera , battery etc. Just check camera is improved like hell in 4.4.3. Sure some custom roms will follow....

Great job Mahendra! Thank u Thank u Thank u!!!!!!
Great job Mahendra! Thank u Thank u Thank u!!!!!! The RED patch in camera is completely removed
Not only the camera, Battery , the speaker volume improved. Its Rooted. Has ES explorer preinstalled.
Proximity sensor doesn't seem to work. Please check. I dont have any issue with that as I'm using the phone with flip cover and hence no chance of my ear touching the screen. Have you purposely done away with that to improve battery?

* NewWorld Version 7 *​
for EVA L09-AL00-AL10-CL00-DL00-L19-L29-TL00 - but not P9 Plus and not P9 Lite​
Continuation and further development of the popular Custom Rom of Senior Member @Blackball from the Thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/development/rom-huawei-p9-fromfuture-newworld-t3390820​
NewWorld 7 Thread for German Users is here: http://www.android-hilfe.de/thema/huawei-p9-rom-6-0-newworld-7-by-tecalote.799824/
So far, I develope Custom Roms for Huawei P8: https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p8/development/rom-huawei-p8-gratitude-tecalote-t3468118 and newest creation: https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p8/development/rom-huawei-p8-arrow-custom-rom-based-t3561615/
I am happy to present you now a Custom Rom for Huawei P9! Have much fun with it
Note:
If you don't come from NewWorld 5 or 6.6 - you must be (or go back to) on the latest Official Marshmallow Stock Firmware for your Device - Fingerprint would not work whitout this step!
See Requirements and Instal Instructions...
Features:
- based on Firmware b198 with the KangV Framework (Kang Tools / K-Settings) - which allows you a maximum customation!
- pre rooted with SuperSU 2.79 in System-Mode
- BusyBox 1.26.2 YDS by YashdSaraf
- deodexed and debloaded
- Callrecorder in Dialer-app for manual recording
- Recording of Calls automatically
- NFC ported from latest Marshmallow-Build
- Google Apps are up-to-date (2017-01-19) - (Google Login, Gmail, Exchange, Playstore, Google App, Chrome
- Special Restart Menu: Normal reboot, Hot reboot, Recovery mode, Bootloader mode
- included in K-Settings: Xposed Framework 87.1 from Wanam (install it from there: K-Settings, More settings, Xposed Framework - install Xposed) Reboot about 10 min.
- Management of Xposed Framework and Modules with Material Installer in K-Settings
- Special Phone Manager (Permission Manager, Autostart Manager, Notification Manager, Spamfilter, Virus-scaner, Dropezone Manager...)
- Maximum battery life
- some Apps preinstalled: TitaniumBackup, BlackPlayer and MiXplorer (very good Root-Explorer)
- Dolby/Atmos™ with Viper4AndroidFX™ (Atmos on Homescreen - but Viper4Android in K-Settings, More settings)
- Dual-Window-Mode can be started from 583 Apps - but added in the second window to the started App in the first window can only 28 Apps - experimental feature...
- some nice Themes (Porsche Design from Mate 9, BlackPyramid Theme from blackbell....) by the way, Online-Themes are working, but you have to register a Huawei ID
- a lot of more
Themes:
Some Useres had problems to activate Themes after installing the Rom. This problem occurs normally not and it is not an issue of the Rom.
Thats why I recommend following:
Before flashing the new Rom make a Backup of your Themes.hwt(s) from the folder HWThemes on internal memory and store this in another folder on your external SD. After delete the HWThemes folder on internal memory (it will created automatically again)
If you make a Nandroid Backup before wiping previous system and flashing the new Rom, reboot your TWRP within the main menu of TWRP "Restart" ...restart TWRP. After you can make a wipe and flashing the Rom.
TWRP (everyone for Marshmallow p9, my linked same as the one from paulobrien) has sometimes problems with mount and unmount Partitions.
The result is (not copied) missing files, like Themes. Themes will be installed in NewWorld 7 not in /system/themes (there are just the icons - for saving place in system Rom) but in /data/hw_init/system/themes. If you have already such a problem with Themes, just flash the ThemesFIX.zip with TWRP (without making anything before and no Wipe of Dalvik and Cache after) - this solve the issue. As I said, it occurs just sometimes.
General Requirements:
1) Marshmallow-Bootloader - if you are on Lollipop or Nougat the Rom cannot be flashed!
2) Bootloader unlocked http://emui.huawei.com/en/plugin/hwdownload/download
3) TWRP P9 for Android 6: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767122229
Note: TWRP has sometimes after an Nandroid Backup problems to unmount data or system. If you do Nandroid Backkup - please restart after TWRP from the main menu (Reboot Recovery) before wiping and flashing new Rom!
4) If you come from NewWorld 4.1 - or from nanoROM MallowPOP - be sure making the steps from the Installation instructions, otherwise Fingerprint-Scanner would not work!

If you came from NewWorld 4.1 you must go back to the last official Huawei Firmware for your model. Without these steps your Fingerprint-Scanner would not work! Please check by yourself the Download of the last Full Marshmallow-Firmware for your model. Only for EVA-L09 Cust 432 (official - not Leak) you can Download it here: http://www.carbontesla.com/2016/11/download-huawei-p9-b182-marshmallow-update-europe/

12) With: adb reboot bootloader you start the Phone into Fastboot Mode
13) With: fastboot devices you check the connection (Phone must be listed with Serialnumber - fastboot)
14) With: fastboot oem unlock xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (instead of xxx.... you must write your Unlock-Code from Huawei and enter) your Bootloader will be opened
15) Phone makes automatically Factory Reset!
16) Go to settings, activate Developer Options and in there USB Debugging and OEM Unlock and in Advanced Settings "Unknown Sources"
17) Connect your P9 with USB to your PC
18) With Minimal ADB and Fastboot (opened as Administrator) restart the Phone to Fastboot Mode

1) Download Blackballs NewWorld 4.1: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24591000424954817
2) Backup your Apps with data
3) With TWRP make Advanced Wipe of Dalvik, Cache, data and system - after flash NewWorld 4.1
4) Do all 24 Steps written above!
Push-Notifications
The Push-Notifications are working for sms, mms, email....
But for WhatsApp, Viber, Skype and other Chat/Net-Call Apps the push-notifications work only perfectly if you convert them into a system app.
After flashing the Rom and the Setup you install your Apps and may restore some Apps with data from a previous backup.
Example: WhatsApp. Install it from the Playstore. Dont open it. Install Link2SD from the Playstore. Link2SD give you a list of all Apps - for example "WhatsApp" - just press long on it and you get a menue - use: convert to system-app. Then reboot your Phone. This time open WhatsApp and you have to authentication WhatsApp again. WhatsApp is searching for a Backup and offer you to restore it. You do this and now Push-Notification will work (dont forget to make a Google-Drive Backup of the Chat-History in Settings of WhatsApp before flashing the Rom)

Tutorial for return from NewWorld to Stock Marshmallow Firmware
If there is a reason to return from NewWorld to Marshmallow Original Stock Huawei Firmware - you can use this steps:
1) Backup what you need to backup! Use Huawei Backup and also Titanium Backup. NOTE: In the new Firmware or Rom dont restore system-apps or data from system-apps from previous system! Restore only USER-APPS. For Chat-Apps like WhatsApp, Viber, Skype use the built-in Backup function - but keep or backup the folder from those apps on internal memory (because you need them on the same place if you reinstall those apps)
Battery must have minimal 80% doing those steps....
If you have Xposed Framework installed - uninstall it (K-Settings /Xposed Settings /Install Xposed confirm - Reboot needs about 15min)
2) Open K-Settings /more settings /flash recovery - Flash official Recovery (grant Root-Permission) - this flashes Stock Recovery in half a second.
3) Download the Full Firmware (no OTA.zip) for your model, unzipp it on your PC (mostly you get update.app and meta.inf)
4) Create a folder on internal memory or external SD and name it: dload
5) Copy only update.app and meta.inf (if meta.inf is present) in this folder. After DISCONNECT USB from Phone!
6) Reboot to Stock Recovery - with Restart menu (also possible with pressing Vol+ and Power-Button at the same time as long until Recovery is displayed)
7) Wipe Cache with Stock Recovery (it uses another engine than TWRP) and do after a Factory Reset. There is no need to restart the phone to system now.
8) Press Vol- and Vol+ (in the middle) and Power-Button at the same time, until phone reboots and EMUI-Software-Installing is displayed
9) Let the EMUI-Installing finishing - it reboots automatically to system and starts the EMUI-Optimizing - wait until Language-Selection (new setup for you phone) is displayed.
Now you are back on Stock Firmware - Bootloader was automatically closed during Firmware-Installing
You can stay now on Marshmallow or update to Nougat if you like. But note: Once you are on Nougat - the Downgrade to Marshmallow is possible but not recommended (cause people reporting errors after Downgrade)
If you want to stay on Marshmallow and flash another Marshmallow based Custom Rom, continue from step 9 as follow:
9) In this case make just a short set up (You can skip the most) - but it is important to arrive the homescreen.
10) Go to Settings / About the phone and tap 7x (times) on Build-Number. It activates developer options.
11) Go to Developer options and activate USB DEBUGGING - and OEM-UNLOCK - after open Advanced settings /security and activate "Unknown Sources"
12) Connect Phone with USB to your PC (Accept the Fingerprint query with "always" on your Phone) Look, if Windows installed the right drivers so you have access to phone - if not install HiSuite http://consumer.huawei.com/minisite/HiSuite_en/index.html and make a connection with HiSuite. Allow installing HiSuite on Phone. If you have access now, close HiSuite (also in Background).
13) Copy the new Marshmallow based Rom to your Phone.
14) You need your Bootloader-Unlock-Code from Huawei!
15) With Minimal ADB and Fastboot unlock your Bootloader
16) Your phone will wiped with Factory Reset.
17) With Minimal ADB and Fastboot flash TWRP.
18) DISCONNECT USB Cable now from your Phone
19) Press Vol+ and Power-Button at the same Time until phone reboot (at the moment, Huawei Logo comes you can leave Power Button, but keep holding Vol+ until TWRP is displayed) - Reboot to TWRP takes a while
20) Set up TWRP (allow modification, set language, screen timeout, time zone...)
21) There is no need to wipe internal SD (but if you like to do this, do it at first and restart after TWRP - then you must setup TWRP again)
22) Go to Wipe, Advanced Wipe and wipe: Dalvik&Cache, Cache, data and system
23) Install the new Rom
24) Restore User-Apps, but dont restore any System-Apps (or data from it) Chat-Apps install from Playstore, and use the built-in restore function.
Huawei-Firmware-List:
Use only Marshmallow Full Firmware to retourn from NewWorld to Stock (mostly b182 or b181). Choose the right one for your model and cust! As far as I know all versions over 300 are based on Nougat (those you cannot use)
EVA-L09: http://hwmt.ru/oth/HWFF/info/view.php?find_model=eva-l09
For EVA-L09 - I would recommend following Firmware: http://www.carbontesla.com/2016/11/download-huawei-p9-b182-marshmallow-update-europe/
EVA-L19: http://hwmt.ru/oth/HWFF/info/view.php?find_model=eva-l19
EVA-L29: http://hwmt.ru/oth/HWFF/info/view.php?find_model=eva-l29
EVA-TL00: http://hwmt.ru/oth/HWFF/info/view.php?find_model=eva-tl00
EVA-ALxx: http://hwmt.ru/oth/HWFF/info/view.php?find_model=eva-AL (not sure, but maybe work on CL and DL variants)

Hello Thanks for informing me. Nobody told me in the German Thread, that's why I didn't know.
I always use the manual call recording and have not tested the automatic one. I make a test today in the evening and tell you!

Is there anyway to install this on a EVA-L09C34 (Optus/Australia) model.

It was hard for me to go to the german forum and regisster, post etc..... I am glad you moved here...... U`ll have more support, u`ll see...
Also I am happy that someone still works on this rom. It is the best and most complete rom for P9 .

This rom should work with all L09 variants, the C34 is pretty much the carrier model, so C34 means Optus and I think Vodaphone Australia also has a different carrier model. Ultimately, L09 all have the exactly same hardware.

Vielen Dank!
I downloaded this from android-hilfe.de last week (with the help of Google Translate!). An excellent rom and a worthy successor to @Blackball 's fine efforts. No obvious bugs or glitches that I can see, runs very smoothly.
Can't wait for your efforts with Nougat!

I have tested it on my phone right now and it works in NW 6.6 - and also NW7
You must open Dialer and there the menu symbol right below.
Open settings, in there enable record settings (see Screenshot)
If you call somebody or get calls it will automatically record the calls to external SD in the folder record
Test it again please. If it doesn't work for you, tell me.

Hello Thanks for the positive message!
I am working on the Nougat Version.
There are a few impairments at the moment:
TWRP for Nougat doesn't support data encryption yet...
The Google Security Level is very high.. Difficult to manipulate some processes..
Xposed Framework is not released yet for Nougat. Hopefully @rovo89 can get it work for Nougat...
KangVs Framework is working already on Nougat, K-Settings working - but modifications are only possible in system and boot, Root with SuperSU is possible - Manipulations on cust or vendor in the moment not.
The development is in progress

Hi Themes should work. I flashed even from b182 and Themes are working.
Same issue had one Person of the German Thread.
Please check the MD5 on Filehost (I post it later in OP)
Make wipe of Dalvik and Cache, restart TWRP and flash the Rom again please.
Edit :
Before you should go to the folder HWThemes on internal Memory. There is a hidden folder .cache - delete everything in it. Backup in the HWThemes folder the .hwt files you want to store. Store it on another place on external SD. Delete every .hwt in HWThemes on internal Memory.
I don't know, why this issue sometimes occurs, cause normally it does not.
Please inform me.

I have the same cust and was on b182, flashed the Rom and Themes working...
I don't think, its an issue of cust.
I believe it is a problem of TWRP.
If I make a Nandroid Backup and flashed after wiping immediately the Rom, TWRP has sometimes problems to unmount and remount partitions.
This produce then an error in the shown install script (system or data couldn't unmounted, they are busy - something like that...)
The Themes are in this Rom not located in /system/themes (there are just the icons to save place of system Rom)
The Themes are in /data/Hw_init/system/themes
If TWRP produce an error in mounting data after doing something before flashing the Rom, then Themes don't work cause the files were not copied as they should.
That's why I recommend to Reboot TWRP before flashing the Rom.
This was also the reason by a German User from Android Hilfe Thread.
He flashed the Rom again, and with the second flashing, Themes are working..
Edit: if you have flashed cust C432 it could be that the Phone Manager loose some parts like Permission Manager, Autostart Manager and so on?

i think i have the nougat recovery. testing in progress now. will let you know
edit: tested nougat recovery of r9s/r9sk but FAILED
tested windows 10 method of flashing via MiFlash tool. flashing goes success but mobile keeps vibrating but no life
tested twrp 3.1.1.0 and 3.1.0.0. both are working fine but the latest twrp is in chinese language. will figure out to change its language

Hi, i recently update my oppo F3 plus (CPH1613EX_11_A.18_180413 marshmallow), and i try to root it using this method, it's always boot on the stock recovery when i finish (i did step by step every single world you said).
I think that's a security renforcement about this version of colorOs, i wonder if there is a way ton downgrade to the last version without losing my data (lots of apps), because i did root it whit the version that i had once.
Thanks you

Re: So, i flashed my oppo with the msmtool that you put on your post (all images expect datauser partition), and changed the recovery image before the phone boots..... and it woorks perfectly now.
PS: dont upgrade to the version CPH1613EX_11_A.18_180413 if you want root your phone, it won't work.

Did you uncheck "Reset After Download" option in msmtool ?

No, i didn't ; in all case i didn't let the phone boot after passing the recovery.img.
Wich version of rom do you have please ?
EDIT: when i downgrade the rom, it worked perfectly
NB: after downgrading , the first time, the phone boot directly and it was the new version (wich causes me problems) that was on it, even when i had flashing all the system

1. U need to uncheck reset after download option to not let the tool to reboot it phone into os
2. I have upgraded to a.18 build via ota 65mb and root worked. Tested with my own hands
3. Caution: if you dont CHECK userpartition in msmtool, after reboot it asks for Android password to proceed and we don't know that password. It's a checkmate. You need to wipe everything to boot
4. If you have patience please flash Magical 16.0 and test it. For me Wi-Fi is not turning on after flashing magisk.
5. I suggest you to use the twrp 3.1.0. bcoz the latest 3.1.1 does not flash oppo ota (.ozip)

Thank you for replying, can you please sent me a link for this OTA updates , beacause the one which is proposed for me on my phone weights 1.7Gb , and the only link i found is on a vientnam website wich doesn't work (probabely because i'm in algeria lol)

dear.......followed procedure....but... ( error is set warranty bit kernel..)...now any soln...pl reply..
thanxs with deep warm regards

I have the SM-C7018 version of this phone and, by following your guide, I was able to set up TWRP on Android 7.0 and flash GAPPS.
Thank you very much for this!
EDIT: Maybe it was just in my case, but for those of you that wish to install GAPPS on this device, keep in mind that you must not reset it to the factory conditions after installing GAPPS, as the Play services will FC once the phone boots up, and you will not be able to use it anymore. I had to re-flash the firmware. Also, I've used the Pico package, ARM x64, Android 7.0.
EDIT 2: Unfortunately, I couldn't manage to get the GApps working. The Google Framework Services would always crash when opening any google application for the first time or when trying to add the account from the Settings Menu. Anyone had any success with adding GApps on the Nougat firmware?

I want to try this but my phone (c701f-ds) never boots into download mode or recovery mode consistently. I bricked the phone trying to root it throught the magisk app, using this very version of twrp. I got it back. I was able to flash the original stock oreo rom using odin
But to get the phone back I didn't go through the (blue screen) Download Mode, Instaed I got into the recovery envoronment (very hit and miss) then chose to reboot into bootloader mode, where I saw it yellow at the top of the screen "download mode" but not the blue screen of the usual download mode.
In this bootloader/download mode environment I connected the phone to the laptop. Odin recognised the phone and I loaded the stock rom into AP, and the appropriate files into the other boxes (I used Home_CSC instead of CSS, essentila for getting VOLTE to work). It flashed successfully. (a status bar appeared on the phone which corresponded to the download process)
But that wasn't the method that anyone else recommended.
I would try flashing the twrp tar file in the same way but there is no guarentee I could get into the twrp environment since holding [VOLUME UP] + [HOME BUTTON] + [POWER] doesn't always, or even often, get me into recovery mode.
I can use adb to reboot into recovery and from there get into bootloader/download mode but not again if the os doesnt load
Any advice?
And you say that eventhough the phone is already in download mode, that after you connect the phone to the pc where odin is loaded and has initialized the tar file, you have to press and hold [VOLUME UP] + [HOME BUTTON] + [POWER] and then press start on Odin. Then continue to hold these 3 buttons till the phone reboots into twrp. Why not just press start on odin without holding these 3 buttons? If the phone just shuts off after flashing twrp, would turning it on by holding those 3 buttons bring the phone (except mine perhaps) into twrp recovery?
What happens if the phone doesn't boot into recovery/twrp? Is it bricked? And if it does boot into the os, could you use adb to get into twrp?
I am being cautious due to the difficulty in getting the phone back after bricking it last time and because there is no guarentee that an ke combos will definitely get my phone into recovery or download mode.
Help is appreciated.

Absolutely not.
This thread is reserved exclusively to the Umidigi A3 Pro

Can you help A3 users?

A3 Pro V1.2 LIGHT
Umidigi A3 Pro V1.2 LIGHT version
It is a debloated version of the original stock rom V1.2_20181221.
Added TWRP 3.2.3 and Simple Gallery.apk
In the original stock V1.2_20181221 the free space onto System is 155 MB
Instead, in the A3 Pro V1.2 LIGHT the free space onto System is 625 MB
Download the A3_Pro_V1.2-LITE.rar at the following link :
https://mega.nz/#!jsVTUCCQ!qg4WabDN5U2QKHaSDFWjYZNBrMFv2mSKoVQ6dszEMUA
Please follow very carefully all the next steps :
1) Flash the A3 Pro V1.2 LIGHT through SP Flash Tool.
I strongly recommend the "Firmware Upgrade" option (on SP Flash Tool).
2) Turn on your phone.
3) When the setup wizard will appear, turn off your phone.
4) Enter onto twrp recovery (volume up + power buttons simultaneously).
5) Select the first white line with volume up.
6) Press volume down to confirm.
7) Select language
8) "enter password" tap on cancel
9) Tap on WIPE
10) Tap on FORMAT DATA (type yes)
11) Return to the twrp main screen.
12) Tap on Reboot and choose System.
13) Complete all the requirements of the setup wizard.
14) Tap on Settings --> System --> About phone
15) Tap seven times on Build number
16) Then, tap on Developer options.
17) Enable OEM unlocking & USB debugging.
18) Tap on Magisk icon.
19) Upgrade to full Magisk Manager.
20) VITAL : Reboot the phone (it is needed for the fully functioning of Magisk).
21) Tap on the Play Store to update the apk.
In the Play Store, the first time that you update (apk), it takes a little time.
DO NOT update the A3 Pro V1.2 LIGHT to a newer version (no OTA)

If somebody will take Lineage OS 16, it must be suitable for A3Pro and A3

Android pie custom rom
Great work in bringing twrp to our devices. It will be so much nicer if lineage 16 os or any other treble gsi custom rom running android 9 would work without ussd or sms issues on mtk devices like the a3 and a3 pro

Also my A3 Pro V1.2 LIGHT version looks pretty sweet.
Regarding the Project Treble, I am already working on it.
But I cannot confirm anything at this point.
Please be patient (and fingers crossed).

Thanks thats all i wanted to know. Waiting patiently.

Do I need to install each ROM in order, or can I just go straight to the light ROM?

Thank you.

I went straight to the light ROM with no issues at all. Thank you for your work on this project.

Grande Cleopatra!
I've just bought the phone for my uncle, so I'll follow your thread with pleasure.

Thank you @Cleopatra Bianchi for working on this phone.
Very much appreciated.
Got the A3 Pro yesterday, connected WiFi, let it OTA update to V1.2_20181221.
Turned off, followed to OP directions to install TWRP and got it rooted with Magisk.
Works like a champ.
This is a really nice phone for the price ($99 on Amazon, minus some gift cards). We will see how it holds up in everyday use.

Bought Umidigi A3 Pro on Amazon for $95 free shipping.
Installing straight to the light rom then Magisk.
All work out, has no problems at all.
Thanks Cleopatra Bianchi...
Today 1/17/2019
***It is reduced price on Amazon $89.99 -%5 ( clip the coupon) = 85.50$ free shipping***

I think I bricked my A3 non Pro. I firmware upgraded the light rom with sp flash tool and it said ok.
Now screen stays black volume up + power doesn't work.
