Mi A1 Flashing - Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers

Hi,
I have a Redmi Mi A1 phone which got bricked when I gave to a local mobile service shop to downgrade OS since VoLTE was not working. After which I got only White Light notification or sometimes just a vibrate. Tried to install Firmware through EDL mode and tried all possible ways but no luck. Hence my cousin who was working in that service shop changed motherboard from another device which was Chinese board. He installed MUI11 after which it was asking for MI Account credentials as it was locked. Then he again tried various ways and disabled Mi Account check. Now I am able to use the mobile but there was no Gapps installed so I was installing all apps through apk. Now question is
1) If I flash a custom ROM or StockROM will the Mi Account check get enabled?
2)If I can flash StockROM with VoLTE fully fuctional which ROM should I flash?
3)Can I flash StockROM with TWRP will that not create any issues?
Sorry I am a newbie so kindly request to give me solution in detail.

i think he replaced your motherboard with mi 5x that is similar phone to mi a1 and work on Android 8 MIUI Firmware. and i think you cant flash stock 9.0 rom on it. before doing anything just make sure it's mi a1 motherboard or not

Hi ranjodhricky,
Yes u are absolutely correct it shows model as MI 5X. Problem is whatever i open it shows chinese language like browser etc., Also as i said gapps are not installed so there is no play store etc., I wanna install fresh ROM with full english version with all essential gapps installed can u guide me pls. I need to get rid of chinese language.

you can flash a custom rom like Lineage os or Pixel experience

Hi,
Thanks for the reference link. I will check out for sure. One more thing is since it was asking to unlock Mi account he removed something and when I start the phone I get below error message. Let me know if I install new firmware will that cause to lock my device again???
It says " Application Find device(processcom.xiaomi.finddevice) is waiting for the debugger to attach"

goto "settings" and find "Developer Option"
scroll down and find "Select Debug App" and choose "Nothing" in it. i think it will solve the problem.
if you can't find Developer Option goto About and tap 7 times on "build number" or "Miui Version" to unlock developer option.

Thanks for suggestion. I am not able to install ROM as bootloader is locked am not able to unlock it since I do not know the credentials......so tried flashing MIUI 11.0.3 ROM again using Mi Flash tool through edl mode.....everything went well and rom got installed but to my surprise again it showed Mi Account locked I am not able to do anything.....
Let me know if there is any way I can by pass mi unlock....or let me know if there is any other way I can install new ROM???

for bypassing mi account search the the Google or youtube I think you'll find some solution

I have flashed the custom ROM and I try to install google pixel experience Android 11 ...but at the time of installation getting Error :1...I don't know what to do..

Mi Max Helium 3gb/64gb - first review (and ROM flash tips)

Hi,
guess this will be more of a review as it is hard to say which feature i like BEST:
Got my MAX 3gb/64gb (helium) delievered yesterday. Since it came with the 7.3 MIUI first thing i had to do was read up on how to install the MIUI8 China dev rom to the device. After a bit of fiddling and translating chinese / indian websites i came up with a workable solution, even with the bootloader locked. So since yesterday evening i got MIUI8 6.6.23 running on the device - weeded out some apps i did not understand (chinese) and installed Play Store.
So far i must say - this phone is glorious. MIUI8 is fast and seemingly stable, i did not come across any big bugs and there doesnt even seem to be the typical micro-stuttering. Im really happy i bought the phone and hoping there will be a multilanguage (i.e. german) MIUI8 for it. For now im perfectly good with the Dev Rom and english localisation.
Thanks Xiaomi!
To anybody interested - flashing the China Development ROM (MIUI 8 6.6.23) with the locked bootloader was not exactly easy, here is how to:
- get the rom image from here: http://en.miui.com/thread-299033-1-1.html (be sure to download the Mi Max Pro fastboot image - 1418mb)
- get MiFlash Beta from here: http://xiaomitips.com/download/new-miflash-beta-one-click-install-miui-fastboot-rom/
- extract tgz fastboot image - keep folder structure!
- enable developer options -> usb debugging in additional settings then turn off phone
- boot phone into EDL mode (phone off, press simultaneously vol+&vol- then connect usb cable)
- open miflash beta - there should be an entry with "id 1" and "device" something like "COM10" in the bottom table now - SEE ATTACHED SCREENSHOTS!
- select the folder where extracted image is located
- tick "clean all" in the bottom right
- hit flash
- enjoy.
First of all, thank you for sharing this. I went step by step (vol up and down didn't work for me, tried power and vol up and device didn't show up in fast boot, did vol down and power and it showed up) then I flashed the image and it successfully flashed, when the device booted it still showed the 7.4.16 global stable Rom the vendor installed : /, I did it again and the same thing, the rom didn't change. could you please help/?
Sorry, I followed the steps exactly as described and it worked out perfectly, thank you very much, its just that when I pressed vol + and - I didn't see anything on the screen so I thought it wasn't working, miui 8 is nice indeed, could you explain how you installed the play store, the one on the Mi store is crashing on me.
it's a little tricky but there is a thread on here that should get you started. you have to use the Google installer and then update some Google components before you restart your phone.

Hi, friends
I bought my first Xiaomi device, it' MI MAX Pro (snapdragon 652) I found other link MIUI 8 China Developer ROM 6.7.7 from en.miui, so I'm very confused what is difference between

6.6.23 is older (june 23)
6.7.7 is the newest sofar (July 7)
I use the weekly multi rom on my MI Max since its better tuned with translations and the china apps that I don't use are removed
https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/6-7-7-11.32639/
the process for installing the new Version does not change with the newer miui8 6.7.7 so you're good to go with the same Instructions from OP.
Meanwhile on my Max I have boot loader unlocked and root. Works flawlessly with the new MIUI weekly Releases.

Would you mind pointing that thread where it's explained?
Thanks a lot for you experience sharing,
I was wondering maybe you solved this: i can't get whatsapp to run on this rom, even with all permissions given, whatapps and skype cant access my contacts. I got my contacts on the system using the old google installer apk which worked wonders except now i can't get past the looking for backup screen in whatsapp.
If anyone has ideas pls let me know and in the meanwhile i will try to flash other roms to see if one works..
I answered my own question playing with the settings. You have to register under accounts mi accounts to unable contact sync for all apps .... ? anyway it all works now!
BTW I have updated MUIU using http://en.miui.com/download-302.html#446 new dev rom and followed instructions.

Thanks heaps for the tutorial about installing Google Play services
By the way, can this rom you're talking about be flashed following the instructions by original poster?
Do I need to flash in first place the rom from original poster (MIUI 8 6.6.23) and then flash your new one (MIUI 8 6.7.14)?
Or can I flash directly latest one?

I can't tell you for sure but i think you have to use the instructions from the muiu site if you want the lastest dev rom.
1- I used OP instructions and links to install muiu 8
2- updated to last china dev rom following muiu site instructions.
3- installed all gapps stuff
PS if you want to ROOT, do this between 2 and 3: (unlocked boot loader)
1-Download SuperSu to root Xiaomi Mi Max and copy it to your phone sd card from this site: http://www.stechguide.com/root-install-twrp-recovery-xiaomi-mi-max/
2-Download xiaomi twrp flasher and use it to flash from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-max/development/tool-xiaomi-twrp-flasher-mauronofrio-win-t3405207
3-Follow instructions from step 9 : http://www.stechguide.com/root-install-twrp-recovery-xiaomi-mi-max/
Last thing im playing with trying to activate LTE bands on the phone. If anyone can help for that, i can't get the drivers to install propertly

Hello,
I would like to change my china stable rom to any other rom without unlocking bootloader because my unlocked application was already rejected by MIUI teams. I don't know why?So funny Miui and try to give me so much trouble and boring!!!!Are they making so much rules and policies whithout enough services and responsibilities for international users?
Especially for me is.....
1. I don't want my phone with Chinese font because I don't understand that.
2. I want root access in my phone because I want to customize and clean out some of bloatware.
3. I want install TWRP in my phone.

Unfortunately you need unlocked bootloader to install TWRP and get full root. You can get partial root from the security app permissions on the china developer ROM but from my experience you can't modify system partition.
I would try request unlock permission again and type in something like you want to unlock to try out some ROMs.

Hi,
I am glad you found a way how to install twrp, root it and to get xposed installer installed. I am also a happy owner of the Mi note 2 (global). I've just unlocked it but don't exactly know how to install twrp and how to root it. Could you please explain how you did it?
Many thanks + best regards,
Xsandro
Thanks to this forum I actually found a way to successfully install TWRP (http://en.miui.com/thread-415853-1-1.html)
In order to root it I just downloaded SR2-SuperSU-v2.79-SR2, copied it to the TWRP folder of my note 2 and installed it via TWRP. Now I can install all my Titanium backups from my old phone.

Mi A1 Stock Rom Conffuseion

Hello guys! I tryed to search all over forum to get answer but no success.
I bought Xiaomi Mi A1 32/4GB 3 months ago. It comed in Nougat version of android. Upgraded it to Oreo and used it until April security update. After that, i decided to flash Resurection Remix. I lked rom but there are some bugs and i decided to flash stock rom. I downloaded rom from en.miui.com and flashed it using Mi Flash Tool. After device booted up, i noticed some preinstalled apps that i didnt have when i bought device. I got apps called: Mi Comunity and Mi store. Also i noticed that i dont have Xiaomis Remote controll as system app so i needed to download it from play store manually. Can someone explain this? Did i downloaded rom for other region? (wich i dont belive its problem because this is Android One phone so everyone have Global Rom, i think)
Any answer is welcome.
Sorry if i posted in wrong section this thread, i am noob at XDA.
Just bought last month, it have mi community come with stock, i'm not sure about mi store and mi remote because i install RR6.0 right after finish download.
Did you choose flash all and relock or keep user data?
Its all good, used it before. Just the normal ROM with added programs.
Well i chosed clean all and lock in mi flash tool.
Well i have to add my phone is heating up when i use phone longer, i didnt have that problem when it came out of box.
I downloaded firmware from xda with january security patch(upgraded it later to April) and flashed it. Il try to flash some other stock rom from other links, not en.miui.com one.
So everyone have same rom or this phone have roms but they are different from region to region?
Thanks for answers!

[HELP] How update my poco M3 ?

Hi everyone !
I'm happy to say that I receive my Poco M3 that I won in the french launching live of the Poco M3.
But I have a problem, my poco not run with miui 12 but with Citrus (I think that is a test version for the factory). I reset my phone but it change nothing and I haven't the option "Update". I search in the website of xiaomi for download the stable version but there is nothing for the poco M3.
Anyone have a solution please ! I can't using my poco with this version because there is not google play etc.
Happy new year !
Citrus is the code name for poco m3. Got does your citrus screen looks like? Take a screen shot

Interesting. Have you unlocked your bootloader yet? After unlocking, you can try installing the xiaomi.eu ROM using the instructions here: [ROM][MIUI][citrus] Xiaomi.eu ROM for POCO M3 | XDA Developers Forums (xda-developers.com)
No I didn't see this tutorial ! thanks I will try it
Just make shure when you flash a rom other than the original one that came with the phone, you must never try to relock your bootloader. Because that will result in a bricked phone.

I can't unlock the bootloader even if OEM is disable and debogage is enable. Because it's a ROM from Pixel who is used in the Poco. IT seems that they use this ROM in factory for test . So I can unlock the bootloader even I used the command prompt. Do you have any solution ?

That's unfortunate. After searching online, I found a few tutorials using MI Flash to flash Stock ROM (not xiaomi.eu ROM) https://romprovider.com/poco-m3-citrus-flash-file-firmware/
Keep in mind I can't tell you if this works or if it's safe because I can't try it myself. In the worst case scenario, you might have to open your device to enter test point edl mode but there's no tutorial for that since the device is new.
Hi !
GOOD NEWS !
I sent my poco to customer service and he installed MIUI 12. So it's resolved
Thanks all for your response

Just a question: it came with stock AOSP (no changes in user interface, bloatware apps etc)?

I think it is an internal engineering testing prototype of Xiaomi, which uses AOSP for testing, it is not for sale.
I searched online and saw that in China someone had also received a Mi Note 3, that had AOSP, without MIUI.
