Cannot receive OTA updates... - Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion

I currently have the September patch on my Mi A2, but I cannot install the October update. The update downloads but fails to install. I heard that rooting can cause issues but is that really the reason?

hmmmm yes, that's really the reason.

You must flash stock boot and instlal it and again flash patched_boot

If you rooted by magisk, first restore stock images (Uninstall -> RESTORE IMAGES), then you can get OTA !!

The truth, this update so poor, I hope better from here to December, for now zero updates ..

Lol. Look at the screenshot you posted...
On a more serious note, hopefully DrakenFX is able to whip up a flashable zip for us rooted folks.

Im talking about the size of the download. Usually these minor updates are 200 MB.
Btw, this doesn't even include April security patch.
Just received B25 OTA but when I ask it to install, phone reboots into TWRP and I can't install from TWRP. Later I get a notification that update failed. I tried FlashFire, it detects the B25 OTA but will not install gives message "Unencrypted ....".

To get the stock OTA to work , you need the stock recovery (TWRP won't work).
Not sure about Flashfire?

It is 7.1.1 and is the March 2017 security updates. It does add night light and is supposed to fix the DND issues. It also has a modem patch.

Currently I am on 7.1.1 latest update and I am unlocked and rooted. Should I flash the 7.1.1 again?

Everything you need to know is in this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/rom-guide-updates-to-stock-files-via-t3469484
Make a backup first, it (should) completely wipe your data.

Can you prove this?
Problem that I have found was with the Fingerprint sensor. Before I could unlock my phone easy. Now I have to stick my tongue out, while standing on my head, one leg horizontal, and he the other leg vertical. Wiping cache helps a little but not a lot. I removed fingerprints and re-added them. Helps a little.

I don't understand the question. If you're on B25, there is no need. If you're on B19 and want the B25 update, you'll either need to be stock or wait for a flash package before updating, since you've modified some partitions.
The OTA files only work directly on fully stock phones.

Try high end high ohm headphones, you will be surprised to see that they work correctly.

Sorry if I weren't clear, currently I have Nougat 7.1.1 and my version is 0B19 and I want to install the 0B25 that was pushed OTA yesterday. I thought I was running B19 stock. I am Unlocked, TWRP and Rooted. If there is something that has been modified in my system then as you stated, I guess I have to wait for a B25 ZIP to flash.
Thank you for your help.

Not true... I installed the OTA to my setup using TWRP just needed to delete a few lines from the updater-script to make it possible

Finally got the real 7.1.1. For the z play droid!

As of 3:45 a.m. this morning I couldn't believe what I was seeing thanks Verizon it's about time still messing around with it (7.1.1.) I'll let you know how it goes like it so far oh yeah I'm on the east coast S.C. THANKS AGAIN AND GOD BLESS EVERYONE!!!
Downloading right now.
Mike
I'm in the United States and I got 7.1.1 last night ?
got it today also
Yep, it's finally here, downloading.
Update 7.1.1 is here on RETEU
Just got the 7.1.1 OTA for the Moto Z Play on RETEU
Will keep you posted as soon as installed and tested
Just downloading 7.1.1. in Germany
I'm doing the 7.1.1 update in France
I'm here on April patch RETEU, but I'm rooted, with custom kernel and modified system.
What is the safe way to install the 7.1 OTA? I've already been notified about it.
Safe way is to flash everything from bootloader with a full package... OTA is to be avoided if you modified system and recovery.

Safest way is to flash my 7.1.1 stock rom, if you decide you don't like 7.1.1 you can safely move back or forth to any rom. Taking the OTA means you can't or should downgrade or you could end up hard bricked.

Yeah, I see. But the latest avaible full RETEU firmware is NPN25.137-24-1 and flashing this is not safe. Can I flash RETAIL april patch instead?
Got the update too but is your home button with Google animation? Mine turned into pixel home button 2 hours after the update

I rooted my phone. When manually looking for updates it says that OS was modified without permission... Will I be able to upgrade to Nougat? Do I need any workaround? Thank you.

Rooting after November Update

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.?

Question: Can I perform an OTA update on my Magisk rooted S10+?

Hi,
I rooted my S10+ using the magisk patch on the firmware. I've read an article on thecustomdroid where it says I can perform an OTA without losing root. Is this correct?
Thanks in advance
Yes it can be. just make sure it's not UI update (just security/fix) update. because if it a new UI update may you not get stable experience with magisk app for incompatible issues

If you on stock rom (official that by Samsung) then you can update normally.
