I stucked in twrp and forget to select "Keep Read Only" and "Swiped to allow modifications".

rebooted my mobile through twrp. Run this tool again but its not working. and my mobile is unlocked now.

Is there anyway now to lock my bootloader again and enabling camera2api ??? Thanks
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] rick1409:
Will this method work on Redmi note 4, i mean the manual method..
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Leong428:
Thanks man I followed your steps and it finally worked. To all of those having issues - most likely you will need to keep your Device Manager open when running the program and see when there is "Exclamation Point" for unrecognized device during the process. You will then need to right click and manually update the ADB / Bootloader driver and start the Tool again. After 2-3 cycles you should have all the drivers installed properly and the tool will be able to complete without being stuck on any screen.

BIG thanks to the above poster for helping me figure it out

---------- Post added at 05:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:08 PM ----------

Thanks OP for the Tool. It works flawlessly and the Google Camera app is just a treat to use!

Thank you very much for your excellent work

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Leong428:
That's the default behavior of Google Camera if you have Motion Photos or Portrait mode enabled. Because the phone saves 2 photos, one original and another processed, hence it creates a folder to group them together.

The same is true when you take a panorama or photosphere.

The app has behaved this way all the way back to the Nexus 4 Google Camera days. ;)

Stuck In TWRP and When Processing lock Bootloader
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Leong428:
I had this issue as well initially. Keep Device Manager open on your PC when you use the tool - you will notice an "unrecognized device" show up in your Device Manager when you are stuck in TWRP.

You have to manually update/install the driver on Windows when you are stuck in TWRP, Reboot the Phone and restart the Tool. Hey presto! It should work now.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] DJBhardwaj:
Hey, I tried the tool and the manual method a couple of times. However, installing the GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V1 APK or any other version for this instance leads to "Camera has stopped" warning every time I open the app. Any solutions?

After numerous attempts to install via auto method, I was finally able to install it manually. Big thanks to the developer! Photos are definitely more detailed. Anyone else noticed the photos in Gcam not as vibrant colors as the stock camera? Also portrait mode seems more accurate on the stock camera as well.

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] sipollo:
You have to be on stock firmware without any modifications because otherwise relocking bootloader could brick the phone.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] AridaneAM:
Have you tried alternative drivers and disable pass/pattern?

Yes, but using this system or boot is not modified.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] AridaneAM:
If anyone want to see the process (it's in spanish):

Yes, to install GCam with the tool the phone has to be with stock ROM. You can use miflash or my other tool to do it.

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] whitesn0w:
Probably you are right and I'm not a fan of it at all.

My critique was not meant to be offensive, although I have to admit that it could be easily mistaken as such. I think, however, there's nothing wrong with establishing trustworthiness by adding the source code of your program.

Moreover, experienced users can learn from it or submit bug fixes.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion] TechNova:
Thanks a lot for this post [MENTION=8676627]AridaneAM[/MENTION] . Camera is working perfectly along with portrait mode. :)

--NOTE:

A].Guys make sure you ' HAVEN'T CHANGED THE FOLDER NAME ' after extracting it from the zip. Name should be 'Mi A1 GCam' only, else fastboot commands and stuff won't get executed and you won't see any changes in your device behaviour (rebooting and stuff).

B].After device boots on twrp, you won't see any twrp controls but only the twrp logo for 5-10 secs then it will automatically reboot, so don't worry.--

C].Before trying this tool, I REMOVED all of my registered fingerprints and lock screen PIN, so only swipe to unlock was present.

D].No issues in 3rd Party cam apps and even in stock camera app, HDR works as it used to, no force closes or anything

A More simplified guide to understand it perfectly:

1.Extract the folder as it is.

2.Run the exe and first install adb drivers 1.3

3.After finishing installation of adb drivers, then click on install button.

4.Accept the usb debug authorization if asked.

5.WAIT FOR 5-10 SECONDS, device will automatically boot into fastboot and leave the device until the tool in 'PC" opens an Image Showing GCam's in App Settings.
