[Help] Unable to receive any Ota - Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers

Hi,
before upgrading to January Oreo patch i was rooted with magisk, when i recived the notification of the update, disabled all the modules and restored the stock boot.img, then i installed magisk on the second slot for rooting the update and i rebooted.
When the device started i realized the is was with oreo december patch
Since then i can't no more receive any update through Ota.
I flashed the first nougat build in a desperate attempt of fixing my device but even with that i solved nothing, currently i'm on 7.8.23 build and it can't find any update.
I've checked my imei is it was in any blacklist but nothing, it's clean.
I've serched everywhere but i haven't found nobody with my same or similar problem.
Please don't answere with something like try to clean google framework data or do a factory reset.
Currently I'm desperate my only hope resides in this community.
thanks so much for any help!

Either wait for the update, because there are yet many people that haven't received yet, or wait for Xiaomi to release latest fastboot rom and flash it with Mi Flash.

The issue isn't the fact that i haven't received the latest January update, i can't receive any ota, as said, even from the first build it don't find anything.
I now, i can flash through fastboot or MiFlashTool but I'm trying to fixing my issue not pretending to forgot it.

he just told you to wait - oh wait can you still see your imei? in case the number is gone than you have a bigger problem.....

Dont panic, there nothing wrong with your phone, the only thing that wrong is Xiaomi and their updates. Just wait for the next update.

The truth is, that Xiaomi temporally suspended all updates due to amount of bugs. Also try restore your phone with Mi Flash and latest firmware version ( Android O) from http://en.miui.com But as I said it is Xiaomi's fault.

Thanks so much for the help,
Yes my imei still there, i know the issue with ota that xiaomi had but i guess that at least i should be able of seeing something, i can understand not receiving the latest update but i don't get anything at all.
I hope there isn't nothing wrong with my phone or at least something i can fix.
Again, thanks for the support to everyone

Ok, i was sure about the latest update but i wasn't thinking something of this scale, can someone with my issue can confirm that now is impossible to receive any ota?

Bored by waiting 2 days ago I got my OTA clearing google framework data and reboot. After that OTA was here.

Kind of... I still didn't got the January update either. I just read some articles about it being resumed again. But I didn't get any update. I can see my IMEI number and flashed Oreo thru MiFlash (cuz I didn't get Oreo OTA) and yet no update whatsoever. Hope I'll get it soon?

It's seems to be pretty similar even if i received oreo through ota.
Funny fact, before uninstalling magisk and all the modules i was downloading the jenuary update, obviously i got an installation error, since than I'm fallen into a word without ota

Trust me that I feel your pain? Since I was playing around with flashing beta versions of Oreo and hard-bricked my phone twice. After second restoration of the OS no OTAs. So I thought it is because of false OS they put on it. So I flashed official Oreo through MiFlash but nothing yet so far. Meybe you or me can ask Xiaomi what to do or what is happening.

Ops! Sorry.
But to be ontopic I have another 2 A1's (yeah, I bought 3 of them) in family and both are on Oreo December update. No OTA for them until now.
Dunno if it helps but that's all I have. Mine forced 2 days ago from Nougat to Oreo 1 jan and my wife's and daughter stuck on Oreo december.

Sure is. It shouldn't be called Android One phone. The phone itself is great but software wise it is horrible. We are still not fully on 8.0 but there's 8.1.1 so Xiaomi should finally do something!

Thanks!

Be happy that you have fully working software. Major problems have been introduced in the October Security update, and even more problems are in the Oreo beta. I'd recommend staying on 7.1.1 August.

It might be that in your region updates aren't available. If you're willing to take the risk, you can try registering for the oreo beta update. Personally I haven't had any issues with my phone, but that's me. You might not be so lucky

Problems? I understand that in Oreo beta you can get more bugs but what are the problems with 7.1.2?

I'm talking specifically about the background tasks bug. Search the forums, it absolutely cripples the phone and requires a reboot twice daily to keep the phone running normally.

Unfortunately it isn't fixed in the Oreo beta, neither is the SMS receiving bug (although that can be resolved by installing a third party SMS app). The Oreo beta has also introduced a load of Bluetooth problems (connection issues, poor quality audio, remote buttons not working).
It is currently not known if HMD will actual fix the issues in the final Oreo build.
I have never experienced any of these issues.
One thing I wonder is what if you rolled back to 7.1.1 then upgraded straight to oreo beta (if that's possible)? I'm just wondering if the issue doesn't have something to do with 7.1.2

How to get back the oreo update?

I have received the OTA update for Oreo. But decided not to update right away because i know there's some bug/issue about the oreo. And today i decided to update my phone, but i cant find the update anymore. I tried to check the system update but it says that im on the latest update.
I tried to clear data of the google services framework, and restart the phone. Still nothing. I also tried to spoof my location to U.S. still nothing. I also tried to use VPN (HMA VPN). But still nothing. Can anyone help me? I want to update to oreo withouth factory resetting my phone. Thanks!

Clearing google framework is not good idea. Anyway, there is no other then to wait till it pops up again, it seems that Xiaomi has suspended the update.

What will happen if you clear data the googles framework? I do that because i've read some thread here about that to force update my phone to oreo. Anyway. I will never do that again.
Did xiaomi suspend the updates? I hope not. Coz im sure im not the only one whos not upgrading to oreo. By the way. Thanks mate.

I got my phone on 7th January and got the December security patch on 1st startup, but I am not getting the oreo update.
I tried all the methods mentioned in the forum to get the update but I did not get the update after that I did a bit of digging and found out from some members of mi forum that the update has been temporarily suspended but the reason is still unknown. It is assumed that some people are facing some bugs after the oreo update and after a factory reset the fingerprint gesture is not working.
Many people who have not yet updated or have recently got the phone have to wait until the roll out is resumed by Xiaomi.

Yes, i did some research too. I think Xiaomi stop or suspending the update. I think its because of the bugs reported and they want to make it more stable in the next update. I just hope that i receive the next update without a problem. I was too excited on oreo update because of Arnova's pixel 2 camera ported.
I have also tried but don't get link from 24hr for update

The ported pixel 2 camera would not work as a1 does not have camera2api support.
You will have to root your device to get camera2api support.

Sideloading

Hey guys I recently sideloaded the latest oreo beta version on my s8 and now I am wondering if when the oficial oreo 8.0 comes out I will be able to get it OTA or will I have to use Odin to go back to BQL1 and then do the OTA update? I am obviously not part of the samsung beta program.

Theoretically, we are strongly advised to wipe out everything and start from scratch. However, I would rather do it once Oreo is out.
I couldn't help noticing an error occurred during the installation process, some SYSTEM folder or partition that couldn't be mounted due to ACCESS DENIED. Perhaps this is something related with having the device encrypted?

Yes I remember I saw the error as well, but everything seems working fine so far. I have T mobile and I know that the release of Oreo is going to take a while because they are not even in the testing phase yet.
Do you think we're going to need to flash back to BQL1 and then Oreo? Btw which Baseband version you have installed? I got ZRA6

I have ZRA5, which comes from the leaked build shared a couple of days ago. It has January 2018 security patch and build date is 01/09/2018 22:49:09.
Are you sure you have ZRA6? Perhaps you have different build from a different source. If that is so, where did you get it?
Thanks!

Yes I am positive I have ZRA6 I got it from: https://samsung.firmware.science
I came across this website looking for ways to update to Oreo. I understand that all the firmware versions he has in the website are officially released by Samsung (including the Betas), the only downside is that he does not specify which software is which, you have to know the baseband versions you are installing.

That site only featured the build intended for the Snapdragon variant of the S8, also known as 950U. If you installed that build on your 950F I'm surprised you haven't bricked it.

Thats the thing, my phone is 950U not 950F sorry I did not specify that little detail. Thats why I was able to install throught the sd card with no trouble at all.

Help me, I'm special

Does anyone have a reasonable explanation as to why one isnt getting certain updates?
The only available update I have is the December 2017 one, but afaik that one is riddled with bugs, and I don't rly feel like risking it. The January never popped up, yet alone february and march one. I've tried all those possible "tricks" with Google Services, from data clean up, signing up for the beta program, factory reset; nothing worked.
I've been told by the support to wait for the batches to arrive; 3 times now.. On the Mi Forums I've been told to sacrifice goats to Chthulu.
My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined.
Download and flash the fastboot ROM by Mi Flash Tool.

You are probably on nougat. You need to update to the december Version (oreo preparation) and then you can update to march from there.
The OTA updates are incremental updates from a specific firmware version so you have to go through the sequence of all the updates. You can't just jump over several in one go.

Update notification?

Did anyone else get an update notification that failed? Oxygen 11.0.1.1? Not on oxygen updater
Sent from my IN2025 using Tapatalk
Yes just checked and it's there.

Yup got it earlier today. It's weird cause it looked different than normal update app, and I'm on OB3 so I shouldn't get notif from stable channel. Tried to download it anyway to upload later and share on forums, but fails every time so I gave up.
Same. I try to install and it says failed.
I installed it. No problems so far.
cant see anything for eu, is that global one?
Not present on the UK/EU variant by OOS or OU.
Soon as it is I'll update my update thread.
It self installed on my OB3, and after reboot, that was inevitable, it wiped my phone
what the actual f....k
It's almost midnight here, and I'm just trying to figure out how to restore and setup my phone.
Hi after updating to 11.0.1.1. the volte icon on the status bar is missing
Did it happened to anyone? How did you fix it?
Just popped up on oxygen updater
Updated and got wiped. Noice.

Did you update from Beta or Stable?
I just got the notification this morning, but I don't want to risk wiping my handset or losing root. (I'm on Stable, rooted with Magisk. I'm new to OnePlus so am cautious about how I update...)

I was on OB3 (Beta). Looks like now I am on stable again.
Yeah, I got the update notification as well. I woke up in the morning, and it was already installed, couldn't do nothing. After restart, my device was wiped. I installed Magisk before restarting, didn't do anything.
My current firmware is 11.0.1.1.IN11AA. Is that Open Beta 3 or the stable 11?
Also updated to 11.0.1.1.IN11BA and the Oneplus Launcher, navigation gestures and the notification bar doesn't work...
Well done OnePlus :/
Very glad I didn't switch to beta. I need everything to work on my phone every day for work and restoring exchange email etc isn't a quick easy task, which is why I didn't go with beta even though people were reporting better luck with ob3 than the last stable.
That's a pretty bad screw up on OnePlus this time.
On the upside, no issues so far with the update on mine.

OnePlus have halted the roll-out until they have resolved the issue with forcing the update (and wipe!) to those on Beta.

OMG
...you can't make this sh.. up
After my phone self updated and wiped lat evening; I downgraded to OOS 10, then updated to OB3 again, with full wipe; turned off Auto-download on wifi in settings. Thought that would fix any future updates...
HA! I just woke up to the same update notification. Saying phone updated please reboot. It's has now self updated and wiped itself again
FML and F.. OnePlus engineers responsible for this
Wow, this is one crazy roll out update!
hold my beer...
after my phone just wiped itself again, I was about to do the same thing from last night, when I downgraded to OOS 10 then updated to OB3 again
but now I'm looking at the About section of the phone and it still says OB3
Naturally, what did it it exactly download to update to wipe itself, if I'm still on OB3 right now
What did OnePlus push this morning..
And why was the not to auto-update flag ignored...
Phenomenal
