So I'll just rename the recovery file to twrp.img then copy it to the adb folder then run the tool?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] sanjdah:
I did not rename it..i just copied the recovery-3.2.1-2-oreo file to adb folder and did manual steps as guided in first page...
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] taurnilf:
You mean instead of fastbooting twrp.img, you fast booted the oreo recovery? Or you just copied the oreo recovery and followed the steps as is? Sorry if i have too many questions, the instructions in the threads confuse me a lot.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] sanjdah:
I copied oreo recovery in fastboot folder and boot into recovery

fastboot boot recovery-3.2.1-2-oreo.img...and followed the manual steps...no need to say sorry...we all are here to learn...
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] taurnilf:
Copy that. Thanks sanjdah.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] h352197:
It didn't work for me, at least automatically.

Firstly the Camera App crashed, no way (no parameters set, I imagine), retried and got stuck in re-locking.

So, I decided to try the manual steps included in the program explanation, in an early post, and now I'm a proud user of the GCam! :)

Not sure if any loose end is left, though.

In any case, a big THANKS!!

We have 3 of these phones as they are such good value for money.

Is it possible that some kind person could post an idiot proof video tutorial of how to install the Gcam for the complete novice. Alternatively if any technical person living in the Oxford area (UK) would be so kind as to help me out with the installation, I would be very grateful.

Facing problem. When i click on the install button it shows installing gcam after that bootloader is unlocked and twrp is booted. On my 1st attempt the twrp did not do anything so clicked on keep read only as mention at the top of this thread and then nothing happen , twrp menu opened and then nothing. On the computer it kept showing locking bootloader and wont proceed further and my device was in trwp. Tried several times but still the same problem. I got out of it by clicking reboot and then bootloader. After clicking that device went into fastboot and locking bootloader on computer changed to finalizing or finished i dont remember.

So according to me what happened is that camer2api did not got enabled as gcam app kept crashing but when i went to reboot bootloader in twrp the application just locked the bootloader and rebooted my device. Please help as i really want the gcam app. My overall problem is when twrp is booted the camera2api does not get enabled!!

I think people trying this tool after March Security patch are getting stuck on bootloader locking...

Tried manual method, after the fastboot boot twrp.img command, the adb devices command doesn't list the device.

This tool is just unlocking the bootloader and pushing the GCam to phone.

Please fix this. :fingers-crossed:

Hi,

Following issue observed :

1. Gets stuck in TWRP mode, with tool status as 'Locking bootloader'. It does not come out of that state, so had to press the power button for restart.

Removed the cable.

And started the process from beginning.

Faced this several times.

2. Was able to install successfully, but the camera app crashes on opening.

Uninstalled and tried with other driver as well, faced above issue several times and finally on installing successfully, app crashes.

Currently, I see in developer options , Under OEM Unlocking,

" Bootloader' is already unlocked".

(Is this an issue ?)

Would really appreciate if you could help me out here.

OS : Windows 7

Drivers installed (Installed MI PC Suite as well)
