Will i receive updates after root - Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers

Hey...
After unlocking bootloder and rooting MI A1 will i receive OTA updates in future??

I have the same question can anyone clarify this

You should but it won't install because of having a custom recovery but you could flashfire to flash any OTA updates you get

Yes you will as long you don't modified or install custom recovery or custom rom

Yes you will, as all above said. But DON'T INSTALL THEM, it will make you phone enter into a bootloop since root modify the boot partition. If you want to keep yor phone updated and rooted you shouldn't use OTA updates, it's hard to say that it will install correctly.

Hello, I think it may be good thread to ask my question. Please forgive me but I am a super newbe.
I have Mi A1. I have unlocked bootloader and phone is rooted. My goal was to be able to edit buildprop to add lines to activate google camera with EIS stabilization and HDR+ - and in fact I made this.
I have september security update - it was before root.
Please explain me what does it mean that bootloader is unlocked - is my phone unsecured?
So how to install next updates without loosing camera options? I understood that if I have OTA updates I will loose root, so I also loose camera option. Am I right?
I want to have camera options and safe phone.
I would be really grateful if someone could help me understand this things. :fingers-crossed:

[ROOT] Newbie Question

I am planning to root my ZE551ML. I have .194 firmware.
Will it work fine to root using method 3 with my current firmware? And I can update OTA if ever there's an update right?
Another thing, will I be forced to reset my phone or wipe data? I hope not coz most of my accounts like steam, etc. are already linked.
Thanks for the replies. I appreciate all input as I am still learning.
I hope to receive any response..
If you don't want to unlock your bootloader or reset/wipe your phone's data(like me) then use method 2 from this link:

Guys, I want to know whether the Asus official bootunlocker tool can be used in the MM .111 beta build.
Also, can I move to cm 13 directly from MM beta build after unlocking bootloader??....or should I downgrade to lollipop to do so....??

There's no official asus bootloader unlocking tool for any MM rom coz there's no official MM rom for zf2. So you should to downgrade to official LP
and then you should unlock boorloader and then you can install whatever you want.

Help installing OTA Update!

So recently huawei released android oreo on the p10 lite and i want to get the ota update but i rooted my phone so i searched online how to install ota updates on a rooted phone and i clicked on the first guide available in there it said that i could use flashfire to install ota updates and sure i installed flashfire and opened in and the first thing i see is a warning along these lines : Warning for huawei devices it is really easy to hard brick huawei devices by installing custom roms and frimwares and it is strongly advised against unless you consult with an expert. I do understand this is an ota update and is not a custom rom or firmware but i am still very worried as i dont have cash to get a new phone if i hard brick this one. Thanks in advance!
Sorry for posting this in q and a it says my post count is too low to post in roms and kernels section.
You can't flash the firmware in flashfire or you will brick your device.
Try upgrade your device using this method.

I've never seen this method shouldn't i just flash the original recovery through fastboot and perform the ota update and then re-root my phone?

bootloader unlock Can You Receive Updates via Ota or No?

I am curious about these issues, my question is the following when I unlock my Bootloader I can do an update via OTA when it arrives on my device? Or is my phone going to have Hard Brick?
I want to give a Downgrande on my smartphone but it is still in stock without any modification. And through the tutorials I read ask for the unlock Bootloader. My intention is to only downgrade. A friend of mine gave the following idea: "unlock the bootloader to then downgrade and after it has been successfully done." I search how to lock the bootloader again using CMD to put a system with the bootloader locked and so in the future I will be able to receive updates via Ota. " Does This Worker Ideas In Practice?
This my Frist Post here If I make a mistake, tell me, we will not repeat.:fingers-crossed:
When it comes to being able to receive updates when bl is unlocked, that's a yes, it will work fine and won't affect your phone's functionality.
On the other hand downgrading is generally a bad idea. The problem is, when you update your phone your bootloader also gets an update. All parts of the OS except for the bootloader can be downgraded to a previous version, and if you do that, the downgraded OS can function normally on the newer bootloader.
Now comes the tricky part. If you try to do an OTA on a downgraded OS with a new bootloader, the OTA will treat the bootloader as if it were the old one, and will overwrite parts of it that it shouldn't, which will corrupt it. And there you have a pricey paperweight.
The only way of updating a downgraded device is to flash it clean with a newer version (or the version same as the bootloader).
Now what is the reason you'd want to downgrade?

My bootloader is unlocked.
I wanted to upgrade to the latest firmware and because I was rooted I flashed the firmware I was on at that moment (no down - or upgrade) again and after that I was able to apply and install every single OTA up to the latest. I could have flashed the latest Oreo firmware directly too but I wanted to test this way and to update by flashing latest firmware would have been possible after that too.
So updating via OTA with an unlocked bootloader was no problem for me.
In the end you get the unlock code from Motorola itself and it would be kind of strange if they won't deliver updates anymore for a feature they provide for their devices.

I used this guide on pie: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/how-to/guide-enable-camera2-api-eis-stock-t3883017
after using this guide you should be able to use Gcam with your bootloader locked
I recommend to backup your data as unlocking and locking the bootloader can trigger a wipe, which can be bypassed if you do it according to the guide, but backup just in case.
