You should probably flash the latest ROM, either 7.12.19 Nougat through Mi Flash or Oreo through Jamflux's flasher script.

You don't need to unlock your bootloader to flash via MiFlash or Jamflux's flasher I think they do it automatically if they ever need it.
And they can also relock it after if you want.

Don't relock bootloader with MM ROM.
(if you already have N firmware, right now)
After flashing MM, you will receive OTA for N, and it will brick your device.
Do it with latest N september patch (available in guide section)

You can, but you need to remember that "don't take OTA in future, never tap update notification"
Also if you sell or give your phone to someone else, give them latest N.

Yes, fastboot commands are same.
hi! i know this is something irrelevant but since this is related to bootloader unlocking,i wanted to question that if i wanted to relock my bootloader which was on the sept 01 patch when unlocked;would i have to flash the same build from the fastboot again to relock it?and will it be safe to install ota updates after relocking the bootloader and reverting to the stock rom?

Only for taking OTA, locked bootloader is not necessary, you can take OTA with unlocked bootloader too.
things to take care of,
don't flash older firmwares than you have at the moment,
As you have september patch, flash september (while relocking too), don't downgrade.
If you downgrade, then don't take OTA. Warned..

My bad!
GPT and bootloader won't get flashed if you downgrade, it will fail, you can't flash older versions.
I don't know if it's possible to lock without flashing them, You can try flashing without GPT and Bootloader.
Just a suggestion! You don't need to flash the firmware again, if you are already on it. For eg, If you are already on Sept patch and want to relock, you don't need to flash the ROM again to relock it. Just use the fastboot commands.
I would recommend to leave it unlocked, because if anything went wrong with your device, atleast you will be able to save the data of internal memory atleast!

Hello!
I have recently installed November Update and now I want to root my phone. Does anybody know a method so I will root my phone after that update (or maybe it isn't necessary)? I need certainty, that it will work.
Cheers!
Root using same method as previous updates https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/how-to/tool-xiaomi-mi-a1-aio-tool-t3680211

Heh, I have noticed that. I think I'll just wait for November patch, then use AIO Tool.
A: Yes, you'll recieve official OTAs as long as you have stock recovery installed. But there are chances that after rooting if you install any OTA then it might brick your mobile.

Does it mean, that there is a chance, that after installing OTA update (with root), my phone may got bricked/bootloped/etc.?
Hi, I received my MI9T and I want to unlock the bootloader, flash TWRP and the EU rom and then Magisk...
But before doing this... How do the OTA updates work?
I can update the phone or should I un-root the phone every time?
Every week i flash new update throw twrp, works fine
Gregor, which twrp are you using?
I've already asked this, and after some experimentation I can confirm this way works:

The most recent update PPWS29.116-11-13 has OTA downloaded, but failed to install (even after factory reset). All previous updates had always installed without any problem.
I have XT1926-7 "Evert" (from Amazon) with unlocked BL, but otherwise stock un-rooted, unmodified PPWS29.116-11-11.
Could unlocked BL be a reason?
The unlocked BL can't be the reason for this. Try flash the 116-11-11 FW and just boot your device without any changes. Then you will be able to install the update.

Moto OTA update s have been failing for many model s
Seems like the only solution is to reflash the current version of firmware that phone and try OTA again
Or see is new version is posted on
https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto
Just download the correct software channel version.
Flash with Rsd lite or fastboot.exe

Will EVERT_RETAIL_9.0_PPWS29.116-11-11 be good for AT&T and T-mobile frequency bands?
I do not care too much about LTE though

I flashed "EVERT_RETAIL_9.0_PPWS29.116-11-11" with fastboot and then device OTA updated to PPWS29.116-11-13.
It works OK.
However, if go to System updates, I get the following:
System integrity is compromised
Android version: 9
Current version: PPWS29.116-11-13
Security patch: November 1, 2019
As your device system integrity is compromised is compromised, it is no longer eligible for software updates

So I am wondering if it might be because of (possibly) incorrect software channel? My original device software channel was and still is "retla".
Or because of the unlocked BL?
I have not made any other FW modifications nor did I root

I'm not sure.
Someone else posted same warning, that had unlocked bootloader.
It's not a normal warning.

Install Magisk and this message will disappear.
This a normal warning screen caused by a corrupted AVB due to your unlocked bootloader. Magisk will fix it by the AVB 2.0/dm-verity option.

Yet, there is no such warning with earlier FW versions, for example, PPWS29.116-11-11

Yes, there is. Everytime I flashed a new FW and Magisk wasn't installed the system showed me this warning. As soon as Magisk is installed this error will disappear. Just try it.
Since the moto g6 plus was updated to Pie you got this error.
