Mi A1 Pixel 3 Cam With Night Sight + Without Root and Data Loss (How to do?)

I have just received the Pie update today and installed it. Before today I had the Oreo update from December. Now my A1 version is updated to January 5, 2019. I'm from Bangladesh.
I didn't use any GCam in my Oreo update. Now I want to install Pixel 3 camera with Night Sight for Mi A1 Pie update.
Can anyone suggest me the exact procedures to install the latest version of Pixel 3 designed for A1 Pie? I don't want to root, neither I want to lose my data.

Though you install gcam, focus doesn't work in pie.
So no point.
Please delete this thread and keep following other gcam threads to know more

nope..just stuck at recovery screen

Problem solved

Could you say how you solved it?

Just an info: For android 11 (and devices that ship with android 10): Just boot into TWRP, don't flash it. There is no TWRP (official or unofficial) that's working without problems with android 10 and above.

Maybe it applies for Android 11
But for Mi 9T, MIUI 12, A10 it works flawlessly.
Please what exactly does not work for you with TWRP 3.4.0.x on Mi 9T, MIUI 12, QFJEUXM 12.0.3?
I have used official and unofficial OF, and TWRP from 3.3 to 3.4.0.2, from MIUI 10, A9 and then MIUI 11/12 A10 (eea, now I switched to Xiaomi.eu, weekly but still A10)
The only thing that does not work is if you have dual apps (I use dual WA), that when you enter pin it gets access to storage for user 0 ('normal' user) but not for user 999 - which means that it cannot backup data for my second WhatsApp
Please be aware that Mi 9T was originally released with A9 and the layout of partitions did not change when it upgraded to MIUI 11/12, A10 - hence we don't have an issue with TWRP like on the phones that were already released with A10

I own the same device and that's why I clearly posted:
Devices that ship with android 10.
As you said that's not the case for the Xiaomi Mi 9T, it was released with android 9 (MIUI 10.x).
TWRP recovery never had an official update to android 10.
And full backup/restore (data, system, vendor) weren't possible for me at all.

For Mi 9T there is official TWRP for A10 (MIUI 11 and 12):
https://dl.twrp.me/davinci
Again, because the phone was not initially designed and released by A10.
For that reason 3.4.0.0 is the official and valid TWRP for Mi 9T, both for A9 and A10 (we'll see how about A11 when Xiaomi officialy releases, currently there is only A11 beta from Xiaomi.eu)

Hopefully Xiaomi/Redmi will also release a reworked Version like for the K30 5G (MIUI V12.1.6.0) ( https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/picasso/ ) where they seem to fixed that issue? Took them a whole month (from January to February) for the K30 and they still release MIUI 12.1.x for other devices and are cripling google services. . .
Are they incrementally testing how much ****storm they will get if they really remove google services for MIUI 12.5 for all non global devices?

From the comments - Amadan (18 February, 2021): " I tested most of the models in a Mi Home store in China today. Basically, it seems that all China only models that don't come with Google services pre-installed no longer have access to downloading Google in the app store. They can't be downloaded on the k30 ultra, Redmi note 9 pro 5g, Redmi 10x, and Redmi k30s. I tried those today but they can on the mi10 and mi11 as they are models that are also available internationally and have been certified by Google.

Xiaomi blocks users from installing Google's GMS on its smartphones in China - Gizmochina

google translated from the announcement: "Some domestic models have pre-installed the GMS service framework, and these models will not be affected. For models that do not have a GMS framework pre-installed in the system, users will no longer be specifically supported to install the GMS framework by themselves. In the future, we will add more models of GMS systems pre-installed to meet your needs."

Am i interpreting it correctly that GMS is not preinstalled in MIUI 12.1.1 so GSF is not working. They removed GMS from already sold phones by OTA updates?
They now are testing how much needs/questions arise for already sold phones?

Been using QFJEUXM Android 9 and 10 all stock versions, absolutely never ever had or heard (go through the other threads) that Google Play Services dont work.
Also, since December, using MIUI 12.5/A11 Xiaomi eu weekly builds, with no problems (related to Google Play Services), neither me nor anyvody else reported ib rhe corresponding thread.
When stating such things, fully state the name/version of your firmware. Also, if you were playing with firmwares/ROMs (out of official stock and OTA), make sure to Factory reset
Edit:
Ok, I was talking about European and Global, not Chinese stock. Don't know if Chinese supports Google
However, Xiaomi.eu weekly and stable (I also used Xiaomi.eu Stable latest A10) are based on stock CN, and Google (Playstore, Play Services, apps) work out of the box

Exact Version name for Redmi K20 (CN) where it happend to me is
MIUI V12.1.1.0.RFJCNXM
It is a stock rom (china non global) without ever done any modding. So no unlocked bootloader or root available or other non stock rom installed.
Previous stock rom was i think MIUI V12.0.6.0.QFJCNXM with Android 10 which got OTA upgraded. At least up to the Android 10 (non global) Version it had functioning google services included which could be used after installing google play store.
Seems like it happend to other non global stock devices too while upgrading from Android 10 to Android 11 to a MIUI 12.1.x version
Here a thread about the CC9 Pro MIUI 12.1.3
https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/comments/kzd2f5
custom rom Xiaomi.eu seems to insert GAPPS even if they are not included in the rom
"Moreover, Chinese MIUI beta builds don’t really include any Google apps and services which the guys at Xiaomi.eu take care of as well"
MIUI 12.5 Xiaomi.eu update released for many Mi, Redmi & Poco devices
The MIUI 12.5 beta 21.3.3 update is now out and about for a bunch of global devices already, thanks to Xiaomi.eu community builds.
piunikaweb.com

Oops, interesting, I was not aware of (the very recent) RFJCNXM 12.1.1:
Xiaomi Firmware Updater

xiaomifirmwareupdater.com
Did you try Factory reset (Format Data in TWRP)
Btw, on Xiaomi.eu weekly (latest 21.3.3), MIUI 12.5/Android 11, based on CN, Google Play, Services, apps work out of the box
Btw, in Settings, About, does it say for you MIUI 12.1 or 12.5 (Android 11) and what is the Security Patch date?

Haven't made a factory reset yet. Currently making a backup of my data. But after reading the other links i am skeptical if a factory reset can get GSF working again. Maybe i'll try waiting 3-4 weeks to see if they release a new fixed version like for the K30 5G
In Settings All Specs
Android version: 11
Android security update: 2021-02-01
MIUI version: MIUI 12.1.1Stable 12.1.1.0 (RFJCNXM)

So it's like Indian MIUI, where it messed device to point where it was unusable.
Stick with stable a10 and research what they do to make a11 daily

Maybe switch to Xiaomi.eu weekly builds, MIUI 12.5/A11, Google out of the box
Already 6 or so releases since December, stable (I'm using for daily driver), tomorrow expecting new release
You can find a thread here on XDA with instructions (basically, flash the zip from TWRP, wipe Dalwik and Cache and first time when jumping from stock do FORMAT DATA - not just wipe)

Seems like i'll need to wait a month to get a functioning phone with GMS again. Have just seen that the current version MIUI V12.1.1.0.RFJCNXM got Rolled back https://mirom.ezbox.idv.tw/en/phone/davinci/roms-cn-stable/
Under the OTA updater the last changelog is also no longer available. Now it reads only "You don't have permissions to access the update log. Make sure the account you signed in with has the required permissions."
Maybe they will have released a new version without broken GMS by then. At least it took them about a month to release new versions for
rolled back versions of https://mirom.ezbox.idv.tw/en/phone/cmi/roms-cn-stable/ and https://mirom.ezbox.idv.tw/en/phone/picasso/roms-cn-stable/

EEA/(EU i think this is the same as EEA?)

mirom.ezbox.idv.tw
Another site i found is https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/davinci/. But it seems like that site does not factor in roll backs and has all versions mixed in one list.
I am still sitting on the rolled back MIUI 12.1.1 (CN) version.

Thanks. For EEA I forgot I had to try "eea", not "eeu"

MIUI14 Bug report:
Miui14 Stable Beta Chinese:
Contacts are missing and come back after some hours.
Some apps uninstall by itself.

Plenty of reasons to go back to Crdroid.
Lets hope Crdroid will add some new miui14 features to their ROM,s
Installing Crdroid 9.2 from MIUI 14 base works!
