I guess thats it, it is not genuine. It says : "address doesn't match"

End of story, bad luck seems like. Purchase all the way from China and doesn"t make sence sending it back.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] juby2:
True, I have also seen this methode but couldn't find the right toturial how it exacly works without damaging my device.

So if someone could post a clearly way how to walk this one trough!

When I Download the MiA1-Rom and extract it, where do i put it?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] h3r0n:
Maybe you have a Mi 5x instead (MIUI). IIRC the latest unofficial ported Android one for the Mi5x is from August.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] pshnd:
Mine was stuck on 7.1.2, December, tried the method no.1 and it worked like a charm. Got 8.0, January. :D
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] ngyurov:
Where are you from?

I am stuck at 8.0, December and I tried both methods several times - no luck, still getting the message I'm at the latest version.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] kaiwanted:
Dear guys. First method is the safest method ever and it worked for me. No need to clear data, just disable it and force stop also. Update came to me without any bugs. But I will get away from 3rd method, just for my security reasons. If first 2 will not work for you, just wait when it will come naturally.

And yes, good post ;)
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] pshnd:
Serbia. :)
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] ngyurov:
I'm from Bulgaria and no luck. Did you delete data or just disable?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] pshnd:
Just disabled. Didn't even force stop it. :D
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] ngyurov:
I'll give it a couple more days and try again, if it still doesn't work I'll try a factory reset.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] KpaTyH:
I`m from Bulgaria too and still no january patch for me :)
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] pshnd:
Yeah, give it a couple of days. I'm owning this phone for two days only but I've read on some Serbian forums that some people had to try upgrading for some time and once it just worked. :)
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] invertedchicken:
Method 1 worked for me, no clearing cache required.

I checked for update manually after reboot while Google services framework was still disabled. This let Google play services to crash (I received an error message). Then I re-enabled Google services framework. Immediately afterwards I received the message that an update was available.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] pshnd:
Yeah, that's right. Got the crash error, too.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] ngyurov:
Thanks guys, the crash error is what I needed as well. I disabled framework, restarted phone, then went to update and had to check for update 5-6 times until I got play store to crash, then enabled framework and got the notification for a new 89 mb update.

Great! Glad you got it, bro! For now I have not encountered any bugs or issues with this update, so I hope everything will work the same for you, too. ;)

I'm from Malaysia and also no updates available as at this moment
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mister-H:
Hello everyone

If any method is not working for you, you can try the crashing method as proposed by some people above, just disable gsf > reboot device > check for updates >crash > enable gsf > check for updates.. Done.

Btw gsf is Google Services Framework as described in original post.

Seems like I purchased a MiA1 with a FAKE iMei number.

I am receiving failed code: -"partition table doesn"t excists"- whatever way i try to flash. And i tried many ways.

I cannot update or flash, still in August 2017.

Is there any way to deal whit this matter??? Anyone!

Is there a way to retrieve valid imei number?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] StanXDA1:
I bought it in aliexpress. I'm not in Saudi Arab. What to do?

https://prntscr.com/i3xgk0
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] _mysiak_:
Is IMEI on your box and phone the same? There were no fakes of A1 reported as far as I know, "only" reflashed 5x sold as A1.

As long as you wanted A1 4GB/64GB black version, region shouldn't really matter. Region is mainly to make sure that you have official device and not grey import (if you buy it locally).
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] juby2:
When use the Miui scan app result says" Not a Mi device" doen"t mach factory specifications.

When i use PRODUCT AUTHENTICATION site and I translate from china to english it says : Millet 5X mobile 4G + version 4GB memory black 64GB

Even so is there a way to flash factory rom given all the possible ways i have tried?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] _mysiak_:
So you have 5x device, head over to 5x forum for guides. You can't flash official A1 ROM.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] juby2:
Thank you Mysiak, happy with your support.

So you think it's a 5x even so it says MiA1 in my status settings.

I'll look for M5 flash rom and see how it goes. Thanx.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] _mysiak_:
I'm pretty sure that you really have 5x, because:

1. you are stuck on August update, no OTA received

2. all attempts for flashing A1 ROM fail

3. flashing A/B partitions gives error "partition doesn't exist"

4. and the most important, official IMEI verification tool shows their internal records and that this device was manufactured as 5x

Seller flashed it with A1 ROM for whatever reason (high demand and low supply of A1s, higher profit as 5x is cheaper,..). If possible, contact the seller and demand a refund as you were basically cheated. Of course, unless you prefer 5x with MIUI..
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] pandaplue:
I've tried the disable-google-framework method. It worked. But after I restarted my device, the update wasn't there anymore. I checked on the system update, but the update was completely gone. Lol

It doesn't matter to me, tho :D
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jokutz:
I tried both method but still at a nil.Btw am from chennai
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Powered by SRAM:
I have 8.0, but no January update. I think I'll just wait and not try to force it. My phone works fine.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] juby2:
I did contact the seller and demand a refund or a genuine device. I bought my MiA1 at Geekbuying and don't expect any solution from the Chinese.

Haven't heard anything yet.

I also read on some treath of someone with the same issue with buying a MiA1 as a 5x from Geekbuying store.

So watch out for GEEKBUYING.

Further more I can"t really find a correct and undertandeble method to flash my 5x. I already downloaded the flash-rom but not sure in what way to flash without damaging my device. Other method I"ve found were not trusted. and risky.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Supersad:
Even I am stuck in the August patch.Got my a1 yesterday.Verified that it is a mi A1 not a 5x.Anybody can give me a solution to get the ota please
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] _mysiak_:
Update manually with this ROM and then try to wait for OTA http://en.miui.com/download-333.html. It was said that N2G47H.7.12.19 is transition ROM and a pre-requisite for Oreo OTA update.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Supersad:
How do I manually update it?.It won't come automatically?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] _mysiak_:
Method 2 http://en.miui.com/thread-807252-1-1.html. No idea if it comes automatically.. I purchased the phone in November or December and as soon as I connected it to the Internet I received the OTA notification.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Supersad:
Should I reset nd try again?

---------- Post added at 02:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:50 PM ----------

If I don't do it manually ,then my a1 will be permanently stuck with 7.1.2 or what?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] _mysiak_:
My advice is to flash manually, but only you can decide what you'll do. I have no idea what happens if you don't flash it by yourself :)
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Supersad:
I spoke to a mi representative and they said to wait as they will roll out the ota through batches .

---------- Post added at 03:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:22 PM ----------

I'm gonna wait for sometime and then if it doesn't come ,I will flash it
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] riccetto80:
ok, batches, but when we will receive the January path, on February? lol.

oreo 8.0, and still waiting the January path, is 24 January now...
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] ltf_195:
This is my guess, what i can see is they release update during last weekend, and then stop, I think same as the week before. Maybe they release slowly base on region or carrier to monitor the bugs because some people have major bugs some are not. I don have source, just my thought.

We'll see how it going this weekend.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mister-H:
I also thought the same, they must be rolling out updates in phases and region wise and if they encounter bugs in a build, they stop rolling out, thats why so many people are complaining that they didn't received the update.

One thing that can also be the cause, is the users who are not getting update have Mi 5X flashed with A1's rom.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Supersad:
I was stuck in August patch.Got updates for August patch again,then December and then oreo with Jan patch;)

[LineageOS News & Discussion] Ibuprophen:
Typically the Unofficial releases of LineageOS based ROM's are indicated on the title as [Unofficial] and the Official releases are either indicated as [Official] or without it. This is why I assumed that it was an Official release.

I performed a quick search and i had located the following link that, appears to me, an indication of an Official LineageOS is currently in the works for the Xiaomi Mi Note 2 (Scorpio).

https://github.com/LineageOS/android_device_xiaomi_scorpio

Also, If you look at the list of contributors, on that Github link, you'll notice that the first one is "Bgcngm" who is, in fact, one of the Official Lineage Team Developers.

I just wanted to let you know this. The Lineage Team Leaders don't provide ETA's but, at least, now you know.

Good Luck!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TommyWhite:
Hello and welcome to all :),

So I read this article about how RAM Boosting and task killing apps are bad for your android (Phone).

https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/ram-boosters-task-killers-bad-android/

But I wondered a few things:

1. Are there exceptions? (I have SD Maid, Smart Booster and Memory Booster Lite installed because they were recommended here somewhere on XDA.)

2. Also I have CCleaner and Norton clean Installed, so I guess I should get rid of them?

(I knew cleaners like super cleaner 2018 and stuff like that were just bs but thought CCleaner was ok on PC so ... )

3. Does the same count for antivirus programs (Kaspersky)?

4. And what about camera and mic. blockers?

5. Some looks useful for an android tv box to me, but are they?

Many thanks in advance :good:,

So I have my Samsung 128 GB USB drive connected to my Android tablet and I'm trying to edit a .txt file that's on it but for some reason every .txt file editor that I use has a problem saving the said .txt file. For instance, when I use Jota text editor it simply tells me that it's unable to save, and in the case of Notepad Text Editor made by the developer Guru Info Media it simply crashes everytime I save. Why am I unable to edit this text file? Does it have something to do with it being on my USB drive? If so, is there any way that I can simply edit the .txt file that's on it rather than just viewing the file? If it helps to know I'm using a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 running Android 7.1.1.

Hey guys, my gray note 8 with Verizon arrives tomorrow and I'm kind of stressed out because I can't find a good case / screen protector on Amazon. All the screen protectors have horrible reviews and I want this thing protected as soon as I get it. There was one case that seemed good until I read the few bad reviews. It came with a tempered glass protector but some people said it would start coming off. It was the Zizo bolt series. I'm hoping someone can give me some recommendations so I can try and order them tonight and have them get here at the latest Wednesday.

I have these on two Note 8's here and they are working well so far. I have a Spigen case and my son a Otterbox Commuter.

Protection from breaking is only part of the reason for using a screen protector. My main reason is for scratch protection. The glass is very soft when it comes to scratches.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Gizmoe:
Yeah I've read this too. I'm always a bit skeptical though about people's stories of "easily damaged/scratched" devices. I've owned several phones over the years and have not had scratching issues outside of the normal wear and tear. And the scratches never where noticeable unless you looked for them. Definitely not with the screen on. There is never a shortage of "screen easily scratches" threads either for any device you look at. Then you can go watch jerry rig everything literally scratch them all at the same level. Even iPhones sapphire glass scratches at the same level. I just don't see the need for another layer of glass that will look just like the layer of glass I put it over in the same amount of time. By the time it had enough scratches to bother me I would have all ready moved on to another device. But I keep something at most 2 years anyways. I do also never lay my phone on its screen and it's alone in my pocket or in my hand. That's it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
I'm talking from personal experience with the Note 8 and the S8 Plus.

And that "normal wear and tear" is what I'm trying to prevent. I like to keep my phones mint for resale value. But the S8 plus and Note 8 do scratch a LOT easier than my past phones. I unfortunately scratched my S8 plus the ONE day I used it naked. Not even sure how, as I am also very careful.

My Note 8 screen scratched in the area above the screen protector. Presumably from me wiping dust off the camera lense. Remember, dust and dirt is made from rocks eroding. Most rocks are made of minerals harder than your glass. All it takes is a spec of dirt...
