Hey all,
I have a redmi note 4G (global) running 4.4.4 (whoa, outdated as hell). It is running mi 66.55.11.00 which upon some research turns out to be a custom mi (and a bad one because it give u a popup ad on wifi every from minutes). I've checked, the phone is original.
I download the mi 7 images from mi's website and upon trying to update the phone, it failed (surprise surprise).
Can anyone please suggest another way to go about it.
Thanks in advance
Hi,
I have the same issue. Did you find a solution for this problem?
Thanks
Hello,
Maybe someone can give me an advice about this phone.
I have problem with application crashing and constant system restarting (google play, google services, camera and other apps).
I get phone with Nougat 7.1.2. I tried with hard reset but didn't help. After that updated with december patch and after that to Oreo (OTA, february patch).
I thought some of this steps would solve problem but I am still facing the same.
Phone is unusable that way.
Any idea?
Thanks

hello sir
i have mi a1 ...water damaged dead set then i solved that problem . now mi a1 is working . but any app open then unfortunatly stop ..then restarting how to solve...this problem please advise
I have a rooted Xiaomi mi a1 tissot running Android 8.1.0 and I want to install the CSIRO soilmapp app from google play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=au.csiro.soilmapp&hl=en_US
It says it's not compatible with any of my devices. I assume it wants to run only on tablets. I do not own a tablet.
I have the prod build editor but I'm unsure exactly which lines I should change and what I should set them to. If Xiaomi has a similar tablet product I could try that or perhaps the settings for a galaxy tab of some sort.
Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
just download the apk from here (https://apkpure.com/in/soilmapp/au.csiro.soilmapp) or other sources, and try to install directly at your phone.
No need to change anything

That worked brilliantly. Thank you.
Hi, I bought a privately imported Xiaomi Mi A1 64, and it has the latest OS on it, Android 9 build PKQ1.180917.001.V10.0.8.0.PDHMIXM.
However, it has a few non-major, but annoying quirks, such as: when you are in any application, and you get a phone call, there is no visual indication of an ongoing call, you have to switch to the call (e.g. like the iPhone has the green line at the top of the screen whenever a call is in progress). I tried to install a 3rd party app that provides call status at all times, but it didn't work well. I consulted a cellular repair lab, and they checked it and said that this device doesn't have the "international" android Firmware, but some kind of Chinese derivative, that's causing the issues. There are no signs of this, because everything is in English. But they said, it is too risky to try and root it and install some kind of mod to set things right. I consulted several other labs and got similar answers.
I already tried a complete factory reset.
What mod would be recommended for this phone that would be a "normal" Android build for this device, that comes with all the basic features built in?
many thanks

Flash latest stock rom via MiFlash. Check YouTube for some tutorials.
Sent from my Mi A1 using XDA Labs
Be careful. If your phone is imported from chinese, then It could be the Mi 5X, which has an different system compared to Mi A1. Installing Mi A1 roms directly may cause brick.

Many thanks for all of your responses. How do I find out if it is an A1 or not? the model in "About" says A1....
Where to find the "Stable Global ROM"?

Thank you for all your help. I found out that there are two types of ROMs, "Stable Global ROM" and "Stable Chinese ROM". How do I check which one I have, and where do I get the "Stable Global" version from?
Thanks again

Your best bet is finding a IMEI-checking website. However, if yours is imported from China then it's high chance it is the Mi 5X, which is Mi A1 in Chinese. There is no "international" or "chinese" rom version for Mi A1 because in Chinese it's a different phone. Mi 5X ran MIUI and doesn't have A/B like Mi A1.

ok, in this case shouldn't I see Chinese characters in the interface or something?

I have seen Mi 5X running a ported version of Mi A1 rom and it's very hard to distinguish from real Mi A1. Have you check the IMEI?

Stock rom is "Stable Global". And there is no Stable Chinese for Mi A1.

As far as I understand, if you have one of the fake Chinese ones the stenciling will be different on the back.
A real one will say:

Hi,
I have a Redmi Mi A1 phone which got bricked when I gave to a local mobile service shop to downgrade OS since VoLTE was not working. After which I got only White Light notification or sometimes just a vibrate. Tried to install Firmware through EDL mode and tried all possible ways but no luck. Hence my cousin who was working in that service shop changed motherboard from another device which was Chinese board. He installed MUI11 after which it was asking for MI Account credentials as it was locked. Then he again tried various ways and disabled Mi Account check. Now I am able to use the mobile but there was no Gapps installed so I was installing all apps through apk. Now question is
1) If I flash a custom ROM or StockROM will the Mi Account check get enabled?
2)If I can flash StockROM with VoLTE fully fuctional which ROM should I flash?
3)Can I flash StockROM with TWRP will that not create any issues?
Sorry I am a newbie so kindly request to give me solution in detail.
i think he replaced your motherboard with mi 5x that is similar phone to mi a1 and work on Android 8 MIUI Firmware. and i think you cant flash stock 9.0 rom on it. before doing anything just make sure it's mi a1 motherboard or not
Hi ranjodhricky,
Yes u are absolutely correct it shows model as MI 5X. Problem is whatever i open it shows chinese language like browser etc., Also as i said gapps are not installed so there is no play store etc., I wanna install fresh ROM with full english version with all essential gapps installed can u guide me pls. I need to get rid of chinese language.
you can flash a custom rom like Lineage os or Pixel experience

Hi,
Thanks for the reference link. I will check out for sure. One more thing is since it was asking to unlock Mi account he removed something and when I start the phone I get below error message. Let me know if I install new firmware will that cause to lock my device again???
It says " Application Find device(processcom.xiaomi.finddevice) is waiting for the debugger to attach"
goto "settings" and find "Developer Option"
scroll down and find "Select Debug App" and choose "Nothing" in it. i think it will solve the problem.
if you can't find Developer Option goto About and tap 7 times on "build number" or "Miui Version" to unlock developer option.
Thanks for suggestion. I am not able to install ROM as bootloader is locked am not able to unlock it since I do not know the credentials......so tried flashing MIUI 11.0.3 ROM again using Mi Flash tool through edl mode.....everything went well and rom got installed but to my surprise again it showed Mi Account locked I am not able to do anything.....
Let me know if there is any way I can by pass mi unlock....or let me know if there is any other way I can install new ROM???
for bypassing mi account search the the Google or youtube I think you'll find some solution
I have flashed the custom ROM and I try to install google pixel experience Android 11 ...but at the time of installation getting Error :1...I don't know what to do..
