Hey guys, Today I am creating a Guide on How to Convert Mi A2 to Mi 6X without triggering ARB.
This guide is based on Guide by @yunusasik(Telegram : @dejavutr ) so All credit goes to Him.
First of All Download the Convert.zip from here
All files needed to be replaced have already been replaced in convert.zip.
Then, Follow the Following Steps to Flash Mi 6X Firmware on your A2
First Make Sure you already unlocked bootloader flashing and flashing critical ("fastboot flashing unlock" and "fastboot flashing unlock_critical")
1) Install Qualcomm Driver (next next next) (Also Windows update can do this trick when you plug )
2) Install QPST (use setup from the QPST Alternative folder. )
(find QFİLL on start menu or qpst installed directory), open QFİLL from start menu or opst installed folder.
3) Select Flat Build Mode
Select Programmer File prog_emmc_firehose_Sdm660_ddr.elf ( already changed no arb risk )
Select XML files rawprogram0 and patch0.xml
4) Put the phone on the edl mode
navigate to ADB Folder and Open tikla.bat, it will open command windows in that directory.
Use "fastboot oem edl" command to Enter "Emergency Download Mode ( EDL )"
Press Download
When install finish. Power up the phone.
MIUI 9 Ready to BOOT (First boot may take time you can hard reset via pressing vol up - down and power together )
5) You dont need to setup miui 9 just go fastboot again (vol down + power ( when phone closed ) )
From this section you can either install MIUI 10 (OREO) or Custom ROM ( Which one you want )
Guide will be Resume about flashing MIUI 10 ( OREO )
Flash TWRP
" fastboot flash recovery twrpwayne.img "
" fastboot boot twrpwayne.img "
If twrp start chinese you can set language on that screen
6) Wipe / Advanced Wipe
7) System + Dalvik + Cache + Data + Internal
8) Flash MIUI 10(no arb).zip via adb sideload (put file into adb folder and use adb sideload MIUI 10 (no arb).zip) or put file on the
storage via mtp, if its works
" No need for gapps "
If you want root Flash Magisk.
Welcome to MIUI 10 without arb
You can use MiFlash Tool 2016 64Bit only this one works good others may stuck sometimes and risky because if you unplug when installing you have to use test point method for saving phone.
You can enable camera2api with "Camera2api enabler" on play store (ONLY MIUI 10 OREO)
If qfill installation somehow corrupt use "QPST Alternative" folder or Miflash from above
You can Download Newer MIUI Releases from here
Just make sure to delete the "firmware-update folder" using winrar etc.
-------

Download MIUI 10 PIE from here (if you are in mobile press "try download anyway" )
Open zip file and delete "Firmware Upgrade" folder from the zip (Most İmportant)
Boot into TWRP
Go Wipe / Advanced Wipe
Wipe "System + Dalvik + Cache + Data"
(Make sure you are using ext4 file system on Cache and Data partition)
Flash MIUI 10 Pie zip
Flash Hex Kernel download from here (We need this because we are not using fw update folder for updating kernel etc (because its trigger arb 4))
Flash Magisk if you want root
Reboot to system
Welcome to MIUI 10 Pie
You can check new mıuı eu updates from here.
For enabling camera2api on MIUI 10 Pie you have to edit build prop download this application from play store
Give root permissions
Search for HAL3 then change boot of them 0 to 1
Restart the phone.
For stable gcam use this

Download latest a2 stock rom.
Put phone to edl mode again (fastboot oem edl)
Flash stock rom via QFİLL with same method (Select .ddr and xml files from stock rom folder) and power up.
Done.
(If you have wifi camera or splash screen problems. Flash stockrom with miflash on fastboot (vol down + power ) again.)
(Alternative) You can use MiFlash Tool 2016 64Bit to convert back.
Select A2 stock rom folder.
Put phone to edl mode (fastboot oem edl).
Flash Rom when its done, power up the phone to fastboot (vol down + power ) and flash rom again. (for solving any camera wifi etc issue)
FAQ

It does take a long time than Mi Flash. I check from time to time where it stopped and it does move a bit, like a snail's pace kind of slow.

I tried to flash a GSI rom and STOCK rom but appears an error: UPDATER PROCESS ENDED WITH SIGNAL 4
Pls for cc9e also twrp
Install method explained
Hello!
Since the install steps provided on OP maybe confusing I thought on sharing here the steps I've made in order to get TWRP working....let's call it a "noob friendly guide", ok?
Here he we go:
0 - Your bootloader must be unlocked. If it's not, then follow step 1 of the instructions provided HERE.
1 - Download both twrp-3.3.1-15-laurel_sprout-mauronofrio.img and twrp-3.3.1-15-laurel_sprout-mauronofrio-installer.zip files present on OP
2 - Download latest Magisk Installer, Magisk Uninstaller and Magisk Manager from HERE.
3 - Copy all of the above to your phone internal memory (since current TWRP doesn't allow sdcard nor USB OTG yet...)
4 - Connect the phone to your PC
5 - Reboot to bootloader
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
6 - Check your current active slot
Code:
fastboot getvar current-slot
7 - Flash TWRP image into the current inactive slot (we do this just to leave the current active slot with no changes...at least for now)
If your current active is slot b, then run:
Code:
fastboot --set-active=a
Or, if your current active is slot a, then run:
Code:
fastboot --set-active=b
And afterwards, run:
Code:
fastboot flash boot twrp-3.3.1-15-laurel_sprout-mauronofrio.img
(of course that img file must be on the same path where you have adb and fastboot...)8 - Reboot to TWRP:
Code:
fastboot reboot
NOTE: Long press Vol+ button before hitting "ENTER" and leave it pressed until you see the Android One logo (just to force boot into recovery)
Just a heads up:
Now we are on TWRP booted on the "previously inactive slot". The "previously active slot" continues unchanged. Nothing "bad" really happened until what we decide to do next. If we want, we can just make a TWRP backup of the current slot and nothing else. Afterwards, we could always reboot to bootloader, change to the "previously active slot" again and boot system. If we do this, we continue without TWRP and root but we would now have a TWRP backup of the system present on the "inactive slot". Anyway let's presume you really want to permanently install TWRP and ROOT your device....so let's continue.
9 - While on TWRP, install twrp-3.3.1-15-laurel_sprout-mauronofrio-installer.zip
Note that, by doing this, TWRP will be permanently installed into both slots. This means that, if someday, you want to revert to stock, you'll need to reflash stock boot.img on, at least, one of your slots.10 - After installing TWRP zip, go to reboot menu, change to the active slot (the one you had on the beginning of these steps) and reboot to TWRP
11 - After TWRP reboots, install Magisk installer zip
12 - Finally, reboot to system
13 - Enjoy
Thank you @mauronofrio and Jyotiraditya Panda for your work on bringing TWRP to Mi A3 (laurel_sprout).
I just hope you're able to fix USB OTG and SDCard bugs and, of course, make this TWRP official.
Cheers!

Uninstall method explained (aka revert to stock)
Get boot.img, system.img and vendor.img from your stock ROM build type (EU or Global) and store them on the same folder you have adb and fastboot
Uninstall all Magisk Modules you have installed (do the same for Substratum themes, if any)
Reboot to TWRP
While on TWRP, Flash Magisk Uninstaller Zip
Reboot to bootloader
Code:
fastboot getvar current-slot
(just to make sure which slot is currently active)
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
(from your stock ROM build type)
Code:
fastboot set_active [B]b[/B]
(or a, if you were on slot b)
Code:
fastboot erase boot
Code:
fastboot erase system
Code:
fastboot erase vendor
Code:
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
(from your stock ROM build type)
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
(from your stock ROM build type)
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
(from your stock ROM build type)
Code:
fastboot reboot
By doing this your phone will now boot to the previously inactive slot, where an older system build is installed, with all your userdata preserved.
Now you just have to wait for the OTA to arrive and install it in order to have the latest stock Rom build installed without TWRP and Magisk.
NOTE:
This procedure is also intended for everyone that want to install latest stock OTA without losing userdata. The Magisk OTA Installation Tutorial could fail if you tampered with system or vendor partitions, that's why I've decided to share this procedure
There's a way to relock the bootloader???
Instructions to unlock the bootloader and install TWRP:
1. Install this, fastboot/adb : http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2588979

Both ROMs are completely stable but my personal favourite is LineageOS.
Ps. You should have asked this question in one of the ROM thread.
Is not working for me, it goes to the stock recovery menu ... I download many times and tried to install in different ways including from the MicroSD and using another TWRP to install this ...

TWRP and root guide for 5S and 5G on Android 10 only - (these steps will NOT unlock your bootloader) - these steps use a bypass method to install a recovery without unlocking bootloader. the command below is to allow flashing of partitions. bootloader status is still locked during and after process is complete.
Note. if you already have ADB and fastboot drivers installed, this folder will work as is. if not I put an installer in the folder too to install a mini adb fastboot setup. which needs windows driver signing turned off (windows 8-10) this can be done by going to advanced startup and choosing to boot without driver signing.
1. Download zip file found at the end of this post
2. Extract to root of C: drive
3. open CMD prompt with admin privileges
4. CD to the ADB folder you extracted. (CD = Change Directory)
5. Connect your device in Fastboot mode (power off. hold volume down +Power until it vibrates. then release power but continue to hold volume down)
6. Once in fastboot mode, with cable connected to the computer run these commands
7. fastboot oem nubia_unlock NUBIA_NX659J (this allows you to flash the device partitions)
8. fastboot flash recovery TWRP-xxx.img (xxx being the version number of the TWRP image you choose to install)
9. fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta_skip.img
10. reboot to recovery (from the fastboot menu) it should load TWRP
11. if TWRP does not ask you to keep recovery from being over written, go to advanced and choose disable replace TWRP. to keep TWRP as your recovery, and stop the system from re writing the stock recovery.
12. Reboot to system for the first time and complete the initial setup. this is to create the user space partitions data/media ( preferably do not make a pin or pattern at this stage)
13. once in the rom, connect to PC and copy over the Magisk zip to the internal memory. then reboot holding Volume up
14. once back into TWRP (if you created a pin during setup TWRP will ask you for your pin to access data) go into install and flash the Magisk.zip you moved in step 13 then reboot. once back into the rom, you will see a Magisk app, tap it and allow to update, the APK will install latest version of the manager.
More NOTES.
this must be done on a clean system. you need to wipe all data partitions to boot to system. re writing VBMETA causes encryption to break. until you reboot. so you lose everything Make a backup of your data partition on to your PC before doing anything.
its also recommended to have an update.zip of your current rom (which you can download from the post above), incase you need to reinstall the rom after flashing the new recovery or VBmeta.
OEM unlocking in the developer options is NOT needed. since you are not unlocking your bootloader. this step can be ignored.
I'll update this tutorial with newer steps if needed.
Thanks to those that created all these great tools.

I'm working on a process that will update to Android 11, through TWRP and root, without losing data. Much like a stock update.
I will update the thread once my tests are complete.
Hello. I can not flash (i cant even copy) the zip via TWRP. I see the storage device on my windows laptop. I have wipe data cache and dalvik, but it does not copy it and i can not restore my device. Help will be appreciated

Try putting update zip on a USB key and connect via OTG and flash this way. Moving files with TWRP for some reason corrupts or does not complete transfer.
Make sure to factory reset. If you're coming from a used update, backup your data partition and wipe everything. Then check to see if the partition is in fact empty. ( I noticed sometime my data partition did not erase)

Working fine after full data partition wipe.
I have an additioal question regarding further updates, and i would not want to open a new topic. so, after flashing the zip, i "lost" TWRP but i already have root access. I wonder if is possible to flash upcoming updates with the default recovery built in on the phone, if not, i would assume i need to install TWRP again.in any case, will side loading update make any problem with the current system? i hope my question and context is clear
As these are official ROMs, they will replace the recovery and remove root from the phone.
If you do not have root, flashing these zips from the system menu local update should work. But if you have root or TWRP it's better to flash through TWRP.
You could just flash TWRP again after flash, but I personally modify the zip and add the recovery to it to save me going into fastboot after each update.
Is it possible to install the US rom on a device with EU rom?

I've spoken with another EU rom user, that has the same issue before. it seems it was an error in the stock rom.
reinstalling 7.07 from the links above should fix your problem.
both 7.07 (the EU rom) and 8.07 (the US rom) are exactly the same. the only difference is the languages from what I can tell.
I have a silly question. Unfortunately i unlocked bootloader and i lost the fingerprint capability. I have tried many times to do the calibration without success. I wonder if a factory flash (EDM or any nubia tool) can restore the capability and then use this guide to do the rooting? Thanks

No it wont.
There is a specific step by step that is required to get it functioning again. And it only survives until your next full wipe, which i assume you will do more often flashing non official roms.
I can grab the steps and edit this post for you.
Edit -
Prep.
have a black / very dark brown leather. (belt, wallet, etc)
a soft gel plaster / Bandaid
(something skin textured and in a pink / light beige colour) texture and colour are important.
First step is clear data in the infingerprint app in app info and remove permissionfor data memory - (you need to show system apps to find it)
- digit in call phone code:
*#9959#
(android 11 use Activity launcher (playstore) to enter fingerprint menu)
- uncheck performance checkbox , check only calibration checkbox
Steps -
1. Press start then wait.
2.Press next and with plaster / bandaid press on circle
3.Press next and use wallet / belt ( the display becomes black for black calibration)
4.Press next and use gel plaster / bandaid again but pinch it in so only the part with your finger touches the circle.
If you are lucky see success alert in green color
In system app in setting In-Display-Fingerprint allow access to data memory then reboot device.
Enjoy your Finger Print once more!
P.S. = do this procedure in a very dark room to improve the chances of it succeeding.
Thanks to qtr1st (Salem) and mikekrunk (Mike) for the steps and information.

if you have not removed your pin before flashing any of the roms. it asks you for YOUR own pin that you made when you setup the phone. so use your own pin.
the process of rooting your device, clears a security partition. (the VBmeta partiton)
this deletes the encryption you had on your phone. so the devices partitions are unaccessable and need to be wiped before you can boot to system.
you need to clear data. all data. then check in TWRP file browser if your data partition is clear. .. if you see folders with random letters its not been formatted correctly.
so, in the wipe menu on TWRP you should go into advanced and change the partition type to ext4 then back to f2fs to clear the partition of data.
once your phone is clear you should be able to wipe cache and davik then reboot to system for it to start like a factory reset.
