If your bootloader is locked you can't install gcam without losing your data.

Before installing April Rom you need to unlock bootloader.
This will reset your phone.
That's why i said it's impossible.

It's okay if my phone is reseted. Do you have April rom link? Do you know how to install that?

Stock OTAs and Security Patches Index

I'm making this thread to have a centralized location where people can come looking for stock OTAs and flashable monthly security patches which our device gets.
Stock 6.0 MRA58V (Thanks to @AC DC for these)
For White variant : https://r3---sn-85po58p-itqe.gvt1.c...d745d585625bd9c565ce9e80693.s031-full-ota.zip
For Gold variant : https://r3---sn-85po58p-itqe.gvt1.c...587bf89bff5bdaa8b444b398bff.s110-full-ota.zip
Security Patches :
I am putting up the link grabbing procedure for OTA updates here so that anyone can help me keep this index updated
1.When you get the notification, download the OTA but DON'T install it yet.
2. Fire up a terminal, go root, then type :
Code:
bugreport> /sdcard/ota.txt
3. This will take some time (two to three minutes). When that's done, type this in :
Code:
grep system_update /sdcard/ota.txt
4. You should see a similar screen : http://i.imgur.com/9ywII0q.jpg
5. Only common sense is needed from here on
NOTE : I manually remove all verifications from each security patch I upload here, so the signatures will be broken.
Security Patches :
WHITE VARIANT
March Security Patch : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwL6sFI5X7ahcFJZVENMU3A1ZWs/view?usp=drivesdk
April Security Patch : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwL6sFI5X7ahMEt5bXR6U2ZWZUU/view?usp=drivesdk
May Security Patch : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwL6sFI5X7ahUHhjYmktSDFwTW8/view?usp=drivesdk
June Security Patch : Google couldn't care
July Security Patch : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwL6sFI5X7ahclFHcWhTZnczcnM/view?usp=docslist_api
@aaryan45, if you can contribute links for the Gold variant it'd be great!
HOW TO INSTALL THE FULL MARSHMALLOW OTA CORRECTLY
Google shipped out a buggy updater-script with their marshmallow OTA update so you cannot simply flash it normally without any modifications. You will have to replace it with the one @AC DC provides in his thread here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/lav...-to-upgrade-to-marshmallow-bypassing-t3315319
HOW TO INSTALL A SECURITY PATCH CORRECTLY
This may not be a question for some people, but there are some *complications* you must keep in mind. I remove ALL checks from the updater script. ALL. I do it to reduce flashing time but this also increases the chance of you ending up in a bootloop. There's only one thing that has been an issue for me as of now, and that's XPOSED. Uninstall it, flash OTA, boot, and install xposed back. In my case I just wiped my system partition, then installed stock 6.0 full OTA, then March and April security patches and it worked. Please make sure to use systemless root whenever possible and REINSTALL it after each OTA or patch.

If you're using systemless root, you can restore your stock boot.img and go ahead with the security patches, otherwise it's a full system restore first. Use the full OTA links on the first post to do a full system restore if the need arises.

The updater script has to be replaced only for the OTA 5.1 -> 6.0
The terminal method is to *grab* new links of the security patches that arrive each month. The patches I provide need no changes, just download and flash.

Btw, what's the difference between White and gold variants?
One more question..
Is lava v1 still running on 6.0, there's no 6.0.1 ota?

Thanks for the appreciation! The white and gold variants differ in the button placements, since the gold variant has capacitive touch buttons at the buttom for navigation while the white variant has on screen navigation buttons. The Pixelv1 received the 6.0 OTA, then subsequent security patches upgraded it to 6.0.1 . I'm still waiting for the June patch, if you can go back to stock (I can't, testing out CM13) and see if it arrives. Use the steps in post #2 to get updated to the May security patch (you won't get June OTA without it)

Download the latest miflash tool, the correct tissot images (I personally used the oreo December patch) and the drivers. You can also flash via the batch file but miflash is recommended. Download the required dot net framework.
Please just have a look at this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/how-to/ota-official-fastboot-image-n2g47h-7-12-t3728929
It includes a guide and already a lot of answered questions.
Thank you guys... Today i will not flash anymore...cause i have a huge headache... of trying and trying,and trying... In a couple of day i will do it again...

It provides link to all roms (stable, beta & incremental) & Mi flash tool. Download the latest platform tools zip for windows & update your .net framework. You should also make sure you've installed your adb & fastboot drivers correctly.

Unlock the bootloader and flash the last firmware with MiFlash tool man. You have to put it in:
Local Drive C:// tissot_images_7.12.29_8.0
Then click on refresh and then Flash.

You have to download the 7.1.2 Nougat (N2G47H.7.11.18) firmware for mi A1.

And you can update stock ROM while keeping Magisk & TWRP with this : https://forum.xda-developers.com/as...to/rom-update-stock-firmware-keeping-t3808269

[ROOT] Get Android Pie OTA Update without factory reset

If you still not upgraded your Mi A2 to Android Pie 9 follow these steps to get it without factory reset:
You need root access (magisk) for this guide
1- Download and install my Android Market Enabler app
2- Connect to a Netherlands VPN with good speed
(You can use a free VPN like Psiphon but for better speed and stability get a paid VPN)
3- Open Android Market Enabler and set "[NL] T-Mobile" as your provider
4- Check update, the Pie OTA update should appear to you!!
5- Restore images with magisk, install update, install magisk to inactive slot then reboot
6- Enjoy!!
It worked for me smoothly, thanks a lot mate

Yes, it should works if your device is rooted with magisk!!
Why would you root ? Just reset, install vpn, update and you are done.
Ehm, unlocking the bootloader will wipe data and is required for rooting. So yeah, following this workaround will still factory reset your phone.

A lot of people root their phone on very first days (like me) so they don't need factory reset for pie update
Also you still have root access with this method

Well yeah...but the guide claims "...without factory reset", and the first step is fo factory reset.
Edit: to clarify, guide only works provided you're already rooted, otherwise a factory reset/data wipe is still necessary.

Razer Phone 2 got new update today with a lot of improvements. ( that's why i want update)
Build number : P-MR2-SGT-RC002-RZR-190918.3666
The problem is if the phone is rooted it won't update until you restore or flash factory image because uninstall Magisk won't help.
So i flash my phone to 9 Pie and install the new update but i cannot Root it i try many times with no luck.
And the weird thing every time try to root and fail the phone go back to 8.1 Oreo not the 9 Pie !!!

Yes i try the arter kernel way 3 times not work too phone stuck on boot logo.
arter kernel work on the previous update like magic but this new update is not work.
@kountry83
Ok i think the problem is with the slot A/B.
The previous 9 Pie is install on A slot and when you update the update use the B slot.
I Root 9 Pie it show the slot is A.
When i update and try to flash the patched boot.img it show B slot.
also check Magisk says : https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html
Devices with A/B Partitions
Due to the fact that these devices have two separate partitions, it is possible to have the OTA installed to the inactive slot and have Magisk Manager to install Magisk onto the updated partition. The out-of-the-box OTA installation works seamlessly and Magisk can be preserved after the installation.
@khaled1881
Try flashing arter kernel or patched boot image to slot a and b.

Build number : P-MR2-SGT-RC002-RZR-190918.3666
The problem is if the phone is rooted it won't update until you restore or flash factory image because uninstall Magisk won't help.
So i flash my phone to 9 Pie and install the new update but i cannot Root it i try many times with no luck.
And the weird thing every time try to root and fail the phone go back to 8.1 Oreo not the 9 Pie !!!

Of the changelog for example. Did you get it by OTA? Already installed, I guess. Then, Screenshot of system info (build info) would be nice. Thanks.

I already return to global firmware because i cannot root. But the new update is this :
If i can get the new update image i difintly can Root.
Is there any way to pull the update from the phone.

I used method #2 to capture the OTA link. You'll have to search for the link and then you can copy it and share with us here if you don't mind?
Which firmware are you running when you get the update??

Nice . Did you Root the new MR2. For me still cannot root.
Is the Boot image from MR1 same the MR2 ? Because if it is the same i think we can Patch the image and root.
