request to have the bootloader unlocked then.
I assume we'll have to manually install google apps. I'm updating it via the updater app and seeing if that'll work even tho I've got twrp .

Is it better flashing with Recovery or Fastboot?
Why the Full ROM size is 1,5 GB and the Fastboot is 1,7 GB?

I was able to use the updater app to install the recovery rom no problem. very smooth.
But now my work application doesn't work because something to do w/ work profile not supported maybe.

Hi.If you flash fastboot rom do u loose the TWRP recovery

Yes I lost twrp.

But the bootloader remains unlocked.Are u able to flash twrp and root again?

Can someone tell me if I'll be able to get OTA updates if I install this global rom? Thanks

I think you should be able to. When I used the MIUI Updater app, it rebooted into TWRP to auto-install the Global firmware with no issues on the touchscreen. But it's possible to think that twrp may need to be updated to be used w/ Global like it did in RC1 or RC2.

It would make sense to do it this way. Once you have global, any new global updates would be updated via the MIUI Updater OTA.

Thanks.And how do I find the rom.No FC or random reboot issues.Google app fc's

Flashed using MI flash tool and relocked boot loader so I could have android pay. Did a factory reset after flash and have had no problems so far. Stable clean rom. Had issues with flash tool that resolved when I out all the files in a folder at the root (I put them in c:\rom). Flash tool didn't like a long nested folder name (sip aid the name was too long)

So does Android Pay works?

Yes once you lock the boot loader. Safety net helper comes up green and I can add my card. You do have to update play services after ROM install as it's been updates since the rom was built. After your first reboot after installing new rom you will get a notification to update play services

Mine works fine. I had other issues w/ google but I ended up resetting the phone to factory and everything runs as expected without major issues.
The Global Rom still has the
1. wallpaper carousel issue if using 3rd party launcher
2. cannot search for bluetooth devices for the Xiaomi auto unlock feature, the google option can add the devices, but it doesn't unlock the screen
3. google map feature does not work w/ a dual app that I use.

Can someone install football manager mobile 2017 and test? I have force crash. And ps I purchased on play store

Hey All, just got a MIX so I'm a newbie and apologies if my question has been covered extensively in a past thread.
The rom that came with my mix was xiaomi.eu. I used the Recovery Method to flash the Official Global Rom. However, when I did I didn't loose any data AT ALL.........it took a while for the recovery flash to go through (like 5-10 minutes), but then my phone just rebooted and all my apps, wallpaper, etc were there.
I checked, and the current MIUI Version is MIUI Global 8.2 Stable 8.2.1.0 (MAHMIDL).
Also, I tried to use Android Pay, got the error message, downloaded and ran the CTS app, and still failed. Does this mean I should get my bootloader unlocked (already submitted request) and fast flash and relock the bootloader??

Need Help To Recover to Stock ROM

SOLVED: https://xiaomifirmware.com/roms/download-official-roms-xiaomi-mi-a1/
I rooted my Mi A1 and was on December 1st update.
So I had free time just now and decided to flash stock rom and update to December 2nd update.
As I was using Mi Flash tool to flash the ROM, it somehow stopped working and I don't think it flashed the ROM properly.
My phone has been in bootloop state since then with the bootloader unlocked warning screen.
Been trying to flash the ROM but Mi Flash tool kept stopped working randomly when I flash the ROM.
I tried the following with no outcome:
1) Boot into TWRP and factory reset
2) Boot into stock recovery and wipe data/factory reset
3) Flash stock ROM via Mi Flash tool (stopped working randomly, but it shows success flashing screen, just that the phone doesn't reboot)
4) Tried different version of Mi Flash tool (beta and non-beta), all stopped working randomly
5) Restarted my PC (still Mi Flash problem)
Extra info that might help:
As I am in TWRP, I can see that my phone internal storage is empty with only 1 folder (TWRP)
My bootloader is still unlocked till now

Anyway, good to see that you figured it out

Bricked Mi A1

Managed to brick my A1. The only screen its able to go to is either fastbook, or recovery. And even then, doesn't always necessarily boot into recovery, have to plug into computer and go into command prompt (fastboot boot oreo_3.2.2_recovery.img) to get it into TWRP.
Currently can't seem to flash *any* roms, I have a stock rom ("tissot_100108_stock" cant remember where i got it from). Which successfully flashes, but then on reboot gets stuck on the Android One screen. Longest i have waited before giving up is an hour. Even when i flash this rom and reboot, i get a message on TWRP saying "No OS installed"
Tried doing this: [wont let me post link] (MiFlash) method and got an error, basically does not work.
Super frustrated, at my wits end, would just like to flash stock rom and sell this thing or let it sit in a drawer at this point. Thanks in advance.

same problem here...
I have the exact same issue and also came here for that to ask for help.
Xiaomi Mi A1 was running 8.1 OTA updated and then I tried to flash Lineage, but it did not work. I wiped my phone and now it can't install anything, not via TWRP nor with Mi Flash.
I hope we can find a solution.

hopefully! i posted on the xiaomi subreddit but no help. i was on 8.0 when i started this whole misadventure.

I got somewhere, I think.
I went into TWRP, switched from B to A booting. It then starts Android but gets stuck in the boot screen of Android one with the colored bar.
I then tried MiFlash again, going directly to the folder which containts the .bat files. It started flashing it finally.
I am back to a working system.
Let me know if it works for you.

you guys should try flashing the latest stock rom 8.1 July running the bat file of your choice located in the factory image through fastboot
the different custom recoveries and miflash are sometimes buggy
run the script directly on fastboot

[Solved]MiA1 shutdown after Booting UP

Hello guys,
I am providing Log-cat(Removed) for issue present.
Only thing I am think of is that I have restored EIS,Modem,Android Secure,persist from TWRP recovery than this started
For current situation this is stock Rom flashed with Mi Flash tool.
Also lineage OS 15.1 shutdown before showing Bluetooth stopped.
Any idea how to solve this?
or I have to visit Mi Service store?
In last few line in logcat there is something related to Bluetooth.

It's never a good idea to restore data because the stock rom has encrypted data, so once you restore stock rom with twrp you'll end up in a bootloop (happened to me). All I could think of is for you to reflash with mi flash tool.

I have encountered that same problem last June as i returned to stock in preparation of android 9, this is what i did
1. using MiFlash to flash - tissot_images_V9.5.4.0.ODHMIFA_20180226.0000.00_8.0_5773957dcd.tgz - in fastboot
2. i followed Method 2: (skipping to step 3) as described in this link - https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/how-to/guide-how-to-restrore-persist-partition-t3765643
3. i used this persist.img instead - https://drive.google.com/open?id=1SyzQsyCv_dfxrOUYetG-dtx3RW_4p9H6
4. reboot - hoping that your device will not restart again
5. flash your desired rom as you wish
Hope this helps - it took me almost 2 weeks to crack this case. This could help you also
After that incident I continued to flash other roms - right now im on liquidremix
Goodluck

Xiaomi Mi 9T Wiped Of All Software And Data Via TWRP But Can't Flash Pixel Experience

I accidentally wiped everything on my device when following a not-so-informative youtube video, it was my own fault for not questioning their steps at all, and I was going to install an update to Pixel Experience as it wasn't letting me do it normally. I have TWRP installed and I can boot into either that or fastboot manually but it won't let me transfer files from my PC onto my Xiaomi Mi 9T via Sideload, Mount, Drag and Drop, MTP is enabled and no other means I can think of work. Everything on my phone is able to be replaced as it was all in the cloud but I need my phone at the moment and from the research I've done I believe this should be a straightforward fix however, since I can't get the software onto my phone I can't boot to it. It also won't let me transfer the firmware required and so I get ERROR: 7 and "This package requires baseband from atleast V12.0.2.0.QFJMIXM. Please upgrade firmware and retry!" My PC recognises the phone is connected and can view the files on it but every time I try to drag anything into it it looks like it's going to work and then it just stops.
If you have any other information you require to assist me I will try to be as helpful as possible however, I am quite new to this so using laymens terms would be preferable.

Did you read the instructions on the pixel experience topic? First you need to flash the firmware package for your device from here: https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/firmware/davinci/
Then flash the rom and format data. This should work.

I installed pixel experience this week and so far it is going well, I had to update from miui 11.0.1.0 android 9 to miui 12.0.3.0 so that ALL the system will be updated to android 10, and then I proceeded to install the pixel experience via twrp. Try to install Miui 11.0.1.0 and configure it, then from the system settings you look for the latest update, make sure the system has been updated to Android 10 before installing pixel experience. Try to use xiaomi flash tool to make a clear install

After "Format Data", you need to reboot your phone in TWRP to fix that.
