Big day for me

First of all thank you Sanjay Bhai & others who responded to my queries. as a novice it was really important to me. as my mobile is my best friend, I don't want it to be bricked. I don't have money to buy another too if anything goes wrong. as West Bengal, Kolkata is preparing for another lockdown stage, I hope my mobile stays with me in this hard time. I will try the flashing process tonight. hope tomorrow I will be able to say a big thank to u all.

for once check the steps...

my Lenovo Z2 Plus (ZUI 2.5.104 ST) bootloader unlocked, twrp & magisk installed,(means rooted)

first I will QPST the zui 1.9

then through settings, system update, recovery mode update to zui 3.5....

zui 4 is optional, still not decided on it. with 1GB data/day plan I will check the size of that. after which I will go for lineage OS 17.1 rather than AospExtended bcoz it's not treble rom....btw does LineageOS gets ota update? and which is the best custom rom on Android 10 without bugs for Lenovo Z2 Plus?
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Guides, News, & Discussion] sanjay.2704:
You will need atleast 4-5 gb of data to complete entire process.. zui 1.9 is itself 1.9 gb if I remember.. then zui 3.5 is another 1.5 gb approxx.. ota update to zui 4.0 is 1.2 gb 900 mb and few other incremental updates.. if you are using jio I would suggest to get an add-on of 5 gb for 50 rs.. ..

Once you have updated to zui 4.0.199 you will be able to flash any rom from nougat to 10.

FYi.. all roms released after aug 2018 are full treble roms. Once kernel 4.4 came for zuk, the /vendor partition was renamed to /factory making GSi flashing possible as zuk became A-type device (AB type treble)..

I will suggest to go for either aosip pie or the new rom posted by mGforCe in the discussion thread.. both are pie and very stable as daily driver.. 10 is also stable and would qualify as daily driver however they are bugged by high on screen drain and some heating under moderate load.

If you have any further questions I would suggest to post a question in Q & A section as this wouldn't be right thread to discuss.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Guides, News, & Discussion] Porten2:
Bricked it

I just bricked my Zuk Z2 plus (Z2131). I pulled it out of the drawer to give to my daughter. Since it's never had an update and does not have that option, I knew I would have to first flash the Chinese rom to 1.9 then on from there. I've never done anything like this, but I've been meaning to do it for years and even had a page bookmarked from zukfans.eu, but that site no longer exists. So I found a youtube video that walked me through it using MiFlash and adb setup. Success! Had to change from Chinese to English and connected to wifi.

The updater would not connect to the servers, and I didn't know how to find a vpn since all the apps in the loaded store were in Chinese, so I downloaded the 4.0 rom, renamed it to update.zip and copied it to the phone. I was not sure where exactly to copy this, so I put it directly into internal memory. I rebooted into recovery mode, but it always gave the message "Update Failed." I searched everywhere and couldn't really find a good answer to this issue. Now what? This is where I got stupid and instead of creating an account here and asking my question, I decided to try to flash the upgrade to z4.0.

I extracted the zip file to a new folder and tried to use the same method as for 1.9, but in the flashing process it errored out (and I didn't write down the error message). I retried but couldn't get it to work.

Now I didn't know what to do. The phone could no longer connect to the computer so I couldn't open a port.

So I tried the factory reset and it came up in huge letters "Device unable to boot Error" at least that's all I can see on the screen. If I hold the power button for 11 seconds, it turns off and then into the mode where the tiny white light is on. Hold down power 11 seconds again and it goes back to the error message (oh, sometimes with a penguin briefly first, sometimes with the "zuk" first). Leave the error message for a while and it appears to turn off, but goes into error mode if I plug it into the computer. Cycling through both modes several times eventually appears to shut it off (no white light), but I can't figure out what makes it happen.

Next I tried androidbrick.com which claims any snapdragon can be unbricked. So I followed the steps to try to get it back to 1.9 using Qfil. But I think Windows 10 is what's holding me up now. Supposedly, if I plug in the device while it is off and immediately press the power button, it should open the port and be detectable by Qfil so I can complete the download. However, windows says it cannot identify the usb device and says it stopped it and it's probably damaged. I can get the port in white light mode, but not in error mode. Even thought it connects to the port and lets me click the download button, qfil fails to make the switch to emergency download (EDL).

Any suggestions? I might try an old Vista computer and see if that will recognize the device when I plug and press power.
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Guides, News, & Discussion] sanjay.2704:
were you able to fix issue?
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GonzoKSV:
Moin!

There is a strange issue happened yesterday and continued today.

When power had been off I wasn't able to get get the device on again. Not even power plus volume - works. Device was charged. Power indicator lights on the back lighted. But screen stayed off - not, really off. I tried several times, now it's on but I fear it will happens again.

What can it be? Hardware defect? Kernel issue? Firmware?

I'm on current AOSP Oreo by followmsi

Kernel: tegra-3.18 171003

Magisk 14

TWRP 3.1.1-1

Firmware: smaug 7900.50.0

So finally....

I was expecting this in November but, here we are, the Global MIUI 9 stable release is OTAing now.

Is there a way to force the OTA?
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tertatabata:
I bought Mi 6 Ceramic Edition last week and it immediately got an OTA update for MIUI 9, lucky me!

And one thing to confirm, it got long exposure 32s! (this is the one feature that held my decision back and forth whether to buy Mi6 or not)
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] :No-Frost::
Where are you from?
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] mELIANTE:
You can download from the link above.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] :No-Frost::
Mmm in order to install the rom, I need to select it from the updater, right?
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dobsgw:
Yeah once you have the update package just select it from the top right menu of the updater app.

Took about 5 mins to flash and reboot on my phone.

All working as before no issues only improvement.

It seems to select what parts of the system to update because there's no way it flashed 1.5gb onto my phone. Must follow the same install as the OTA
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] GuestD2174:
My Miui 8 ROM ends with NCAMIEG while the Miui 9 in the link ends NCAMIEI...will it change anything?...I wouldn't like to end up in a bootloop or brick the phone...

Thanks for any answer you could give.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] DJBhardwaj:
Can I install the OTA from the latest Beta? Or should the device be on the previous stable release?
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dobsgw:
Previous stable.

The release channels are completely separate.

If you're on beta I would honestly stay there. Global release doesn't necessarily indicate there will be no more beta updates and also there won't be a lot of difference for you in terms of stability.

If you do really want to change then clean install the stable ROM.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] :No-Frost::
I have the same doubt
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dobsgw:
I flashed this exact ROM from this link over Miui 8 stable and had no issues.

It must just be an identifier for the ROM version.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] wodow:
Is this the same as the OTA? I have NCAIMEG...
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] :No-Frost::
You now if it clears your data? Or no need to perform a backup?
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dobsgw:
It's stable so no data wipes.

Flash with updater app and it will ask you to reboot to flash from recovery. It didn't even take long. 5 mins maximum and then my phone rebooted.

Not a lot is different so it's not a massive update.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] super 8:
It's strange but ... yesterday I downloaded the update from the link that you have posted and it did not work for me. There was a message that said something like "It is not possible to verify the update. ROM is in beta testing, make sure you have signed in with a beta authorized xiaomi account." I have the phone only two weeks ago and it came already with the global rom Stable 8.5.1.0 NCAMIEG.

It seems by the warning as if it had a Beta more than the global Stable.

Any advice? Wait the OTA? I have only "China" in settings-region...
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dobsgw:
Weird. Another person with the global ROM but only China in region....

Are you sure you're on stock ROM?
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] :No-Frost::
I will give it a try.

My rom should be global stable also

EDIT

==========

Just tried out and got the same message, I need to have a beta account to install the rom.

I don't know, still follow without understand why that advertising about the beta rom if we have stable global. And why we can't update with full rom downloaded from the link who post the mate... Too much doubts [emoji848]

So is there a way to update to this ROM, if you don't have a beta account?

(I'm getting the "make sure you are signed in with a beta account" message when selecting the zip file in the updater app).
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] mELIANTE:
I don't think so. It appears Xiaomi blocked the installation of this ROM.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] CoreOxide:
And if I flash using the Xiaomi flashing tool? will that do the trick W\O deleting all of my data?
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] mELIANTE:
No idea, sorry.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] HondaMD:
Won't we have 9.0.3.0 instead of 9.0.1.0?!

And when i was updating, it told me that it was nightly and it's supposed to say that it's stable even in the updating screen.

Then not every one recieved this update, very strange!
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dobsgw:
9.0.3.0 is the Chinese firmware. You can bet that the Chinese ROM gets more focus from Xiaomi as this is their main market for the phone.

We will probably be a bit behind in terms of version numbers but the software will be the same minus the smart assistant etc that Chinese ROM gets.

The current 9.0.1.0 release is a beta stable release for the Mi 6 so it is potentially what will be released in the coming months but it might change between now and then.

It comes to random users or people savvy enough to manually update with the updater app before Xiaomi closed the signing window.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] jcunltd:
At the time only some users came via ota the update, in my case change the region to Turkey and the update arrived, but changed last week by the CH Stable (9.0.3.0), for now this update has been withdrawn , hopefully it will be officially released to all Mi6 users.

[Xiaomi Mi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] bendep:
hey, i wanted to ask you guys about the difference between the new global stable and the latest global dev for our mi6?

Global Stable: Version: V9.0.1.0 NCAMIE (MIUI9) (edited)

Global Dev: Version: 7.10.26 (MIUI9)

if i got it right, i think its useless to switch from global dev to the global stable, because the stable got all the improvements which are already in the dev versions. am i right?!
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ZackoFF96:
I thought about that too, probably only changed the description lol. doesn't matter though, I'll update anything that came through the updater app

maybe you downloaded the china ROM?

the new global stable version from the official site is V9.0.1.0 NCAMIEI (iirc), and no, the global Dev is newer and therefore contains more bug fixes
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dobsgw:
No still seems the same.

It's the exact same release as the beta stable. Probably the same md5 sum too like identical release.

No real improvement over MIUI 8 tbh
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] thE_29:
Because it is STILL MIUI8!!

GLOBAL STABLE: Version: V9.0.1.0.NCAMIEI (MIUI8)

CHINA STABLE: Version: V8.5.5.0.NCACNEG (MIUI9)

Xiamoi has a really strange version number logic.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] mELIANTE:
It's miui 9, they forgot to change that on the website.
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] thE_29:
Ah. I see.. Well the funny thing is, I tried OTA update via Wifi and always got the message, I have to connect to a WiFi to update?!

After reboot the Updater app says, there is no update at all :D :D

No, it was the GLOBAL STABLE: Version: V9.0.1.0.NCAMIEI (MIUI 9).

[Xiaomi Mi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] kolembo:
It's available to all Mi 6 users now through the: about phone - system update - download update method.

All the changes in the changelog apply and the ROM feels distinctly smoother - even though it was extremely smooth to begin with!
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] thE_29:
When I use the update-trick in the updater-app, it will install again 8.5.1.0.NCAMIEG and not V9.0.1.0.. That update is ****ed up. I try the manual way..
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] super 8:
Despite the MIUI 8 (an error, obviously) besides the version number [(Version: V9.0.1.0.NCAMIEI (MIUI8)], it's the right version 9.0.1.0 when you download the zip. After that, it's just open the updater app and push "Select Update Package"

http://en.miui.com/download-326.html
[Xiaomi Mi 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] thE_29:
Yeah.. Already did that. Finaly on MIUI9 and I have finaly the screen-recorder feature again. Which I used some times on my Sony z5c and was the only thing missing on the mi6 (for me!).

Also the notifcations are not that great handled. You have no buttons and if you have a intermediate progressbar, it does not animate at all.. ( I am an App developer and my App uses such a notification, which even works pretty well on a Nexus4 with Android 4.4 and on all other devices, except MIUI based).
