[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] _mysiak_:
You are right, for restore you should "fastboot flash boot_b boot.img". I was probably thinking about rooting procedure where you should use "fastboot boot boot.img" :)
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] nicolasmart:
Well, I did all that and I now have a perfectly working system with stock recovery and I think it doesn't boot loop anymore with a stock boot image. Thank you!

However, I tried to lock my bootloader via fastboot oem lock, the first time I was using some shady boot image which should be "stock" but it really wasn't, and it said "The system has been destroyed." I really laughed at this label and went into fastboot to unlock my bootloader again. I switched the boot image to a legit one which has Magisk installed, tried to lock again but this time it flashed the Mi logo for a split second and then a dark screen appeared (can somebody please explain this weird behaviour?). I really scared because the PC wasn't detecting the phone but I held the Volume Down + Power buttons for 10 seconds hoping I will see the Mi Bunny on the Fastboot. Yeah, it worked. I unlocked the bootloader again (lol) and my phone was working again!

Don't worry! :o My phone's still OK and 100% functioning.

The only reason I tried to lock my bootloader with Magisk installed is because somebody said it worked for them. However, now I realize how risky would that be. Whenever an OTA appears you should hope you don't get locked out of your phone.

So, people with a rooted Mi A1 - don't lock your bootloader unless you fully unroot and revert to stock!!!
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] nicolasmart:
How can I lock my bootloader again without wiping? (See the updated first post for more information)
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] _mysiak_:
Just wait for an official Xiaomi fastboot Oreo ROM and either use MiFlash or included script "flash_all_except_storage.bat". It will lock bootloader at the end of flashing procedure. Though you probably won't gain much added security as you can unlock the bootloader without data wipe at any time (some reports say that you even don't need "allow oem unlock" in developer settings, but I haven't tried that).
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] majamee:
For more detailed instructions have a look over here: https://xdaforums.com/mi-a1/how-to/ota-official-fastboot-image-n2g47h-7-12-t3728929

flash_all_except_storage = Keep your data, bootloader gets re-locked is the variant you are looking for.

Please keep in mind, that downgrading is not recommended. So this solution is absolutely fine when you are at 7.12.19 or below. ;)

If you are not, you have to wait for the next fastboot update package to become available (like me) :)
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] victorbayas:
It’s better to do a clean flash using the ROM and MiFlash provided on Xiaomi Website to ensure that the system is unmodified and you won’t get errors or bricks during a future OTA.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] nicolasmart:
I don't want to clean flash. It will take forever for Xiaomi to release the new fastboot ROM
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] _mysiak_:
Fastboot ROM should be out in a couple of days, usually it's released one week after first OTA update (the one from 19th December was online on 26th or 27th if I remember correctly).

Edit: Clean flash is not necessary, only full flash of all stock images, except user data.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] _jis_:
As an old Nexus user (Nexus 7, Nexus 7 2013, Nexus 5X) I was shocked when I have found this.

Even this is true for Mi A1 in Nougat and Oreo too. So two critical security omissions by XIAOMI. One must ask himself if it is bug or strange feature :)

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] _mysiak_:
Thanks for the confirmation. I consider it as a serious security flaw and was really surprised as well. I would like to know Xiaomi's reason to do it this way.. :) Users should be aware that they have to keep data encrypted with good PIN/pattern and request it on each boot to keep information secure.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] _jis_:
Exactly and with this need is connected another flaw / UI pitfalls in every modern Android device.

See this my post: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=75117508&postcount=83

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] _mysiak_:
Yeah, I've noticed this on my Nexus, but I understand the need for it (if you are visually impaired for example, system must boot first to load accessibility service to help you to put in the password). File based encryption can overcome this as far as I recall, but I was lazy to factory reset my old Nexus and on Mi A1 is not yet available (+factory reset will be necessary to activate it once they add it).

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] braniels2:
Thanks i will try, only two things

1) is necessary that i have instaled the Official LPH rom?? right now i have XWLSN

2) you say that you have Apolo 1.14 Regular but the rom have 4.13 Regular, this is another kernel?

Regards.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abels2:
its not necessary LPH, you can make correct wipes and install infinity

yes, you can download 1.14 or latest gb kernel from:

https://app.box.com/s/bp9vm6i0vuq1c0x4d8x3y9253b8i38q6

my modem: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/general/overheating-fix-samsung-galaxy-s2-fix-t1656005

disable fast dormancy (call *#9900# and disable it, its consume 20% battery and not support all company services.)

disable auto-rotation (use the gyroscope, you can rotate manual the videos,camera...)

disable auto-sinc (this process is active around 1 min checking new contacts, locations, etc ... you can manually synchronize it on settings-accounts.)

Use dark themes and dark wallpapers (actually i dont use wallpaper all black.)

disable animations windows or set duration x1,5

for games try some config from chainfire 3D

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] braniels2:
Thanks, please can you tell me about your experience with this rom Ehndroix V 14.11.15?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abels2:
would be for me the best rom (4.4) for i9100 has a good performance in a matter of battery, a very well optimized launcher is one of my options when I'm not using the stock based roms or the one you already know DU 10.6, I must say that many roms kitkat promise a stable performance (pound rom, RR kitkat, Android Paranoid, NeatAOKP, spiritROM, DU 4.4, nameless, mokee, pac-man, MiUi kk, bifkat, rom gummy, cyanfox, beanstalk, carbon, omni, slimbean)

I also followed Saber's advice to use Slimsaber build greekdragon together with his kernel but at the time of using it I caused bootloops and I gave up with it

all of them when I was not using the phone were downloaded enough to the point of losing 40% in any of them in a night without using it, this ehndroix together with dorimanX kernel gave me a good consumption at night and a good performance during I was using it to play or watch a YouTube video, I do not recommend LP roms at all, even now and then I try some MM rom

but certainly those based on stock are the best since always a user who has still the S2 his problem will be the autonomy of the battery

it is good that they are striving to get the final versions of Nougat and are currently working for a stable 8.1 but not to make it very large I would recommend you stay in some stock or MM adding the settings that I previously put on custom roms cant disable fast dormancy now download app fast dormancy for i9300 and some modules xposed (greenify, SD on OBB, powernap, ...) always use the interface and add a dark theme etcc ...

PD:if some things did not make much sense forgive me, I'm using the google translator xDD
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] braniels2:
Thanks, i like this stock based rom (Infinity rom) thanks to you xD... have nice battery life and performance but i wanna see if with KK i have more performance with Avabel and fix the thing with status bar.

What version of dorimanx do you use with Ehndroix and which configuration for normal and game?

P.D: relax, i´m using google translate too xD, my mother language is Spanish... you are a nice person thanks for answer.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] W1ngsuit:
Did you ever get an answer for this issue? I have a rooted Sprint Note 5 and switched recently to Verizon. Everything works right except my signal says roaming perpetually. That said, I am getting a data signal but I don't think it's up to snuff as far as 4g LTE. The way we got it going was the rep activated a SIM card with another phone before dropping it in mine. I had no data for a while but eventually got it to use data over mobile just, as I said, not full capacity mbps of LTE. I'm hoping to fix the signal saying roaming so I know if I have a 3g, 4g, LTE or whatever rather than just "R" and never being sure if I can access data over mobile with it being hit or miss. Any thoughts?

actually B217 firmware from ff finder has just 2 files, not 3. so using HWOT8 and change the update binary(with notepad++) you need go to META-INF>com>google>android>update-binary, open update-binary with notepad and delete the line with "echo - - update_package...... update_data public. zip.

after that copy the files to hwota8 > update file and make same process like you do to update.
