@emailforfor Thanks for your reply, I just thought we were missing something

@AppLee
A new Aliexpress policy, doing it at source.
but gives an idea what to expect,no nasty surprizes

@kugiigi
taxes taken at source for a umidigi phone thru Aliexpress was $17 ,on $ 177 phone shipping to usa

I am in USA, so far no taxes,( on delivery)but I have had stuff diverted to be inspected

Is this related to our problems, anybody with the knowledge, look at this video,and see if this is a ,behind the scenes way of fixing this problem, or if it is nothing related.
Because our devices are keeping the ssid and password, but don`t do anything to reconnect, after being rebooted, unless we have changed the WIFI /WIFI_CUSTOM ,files

or ,are the 16.04 ubports os (unknowingly) being made with this problem : but it is only affecting certain devices.

@emailforfor
I got an error using the terminal version ( step7,could not find files ).
So i used twrp ,(file manager) to delete and replace,wifi/ wifi_custom,files checked it worked, YES.
Then did chmod 660 with twrp.
Now to reflash regular recovery. (for ota updates)
Thanks

@aclifton314
does your device need to be authorised IE, an "allow " window clicked on ? . To Allow adb connection

@Josele13
I have not seen any yet, I like to ,at least ,have a silicon or plastic cover, to protect the corners if dropped .
