Not sure what your problem is here. You flash the stock rom with mi flash tool.

Where did you download that?

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] gedamsandeep:
unable to unlock bootloader and mobile is dead what to do now

3 months back i hv flashed fastboot rom successfully. but now i stuck with different problems with no solution

1) mobile is dead, when i hold power button mobile screen blink for a second and off again

2)when mob is dead i cant go in developer option and do all that stuff

3)in fastboot mode when i type command "fastboot oem unlock" it shows error

4)when bootloader is locked i cant flash fastboot rom through mi flashtool

this all happen because of choosing wrong patched_boot file at the time of installing magisk manager.

cmd cammand only recognize my device but cant unlock. i find only one solution that is test point method. before i proceed to that need suggestion from u gye's should i go for testpoint or to service center coz mobile is still under warranty.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Lupin The Third:
So, can you boot in fastboot mode or not?

In point 3 looks like you can enter fastboot?

And what specific error do you get with fastboot OEM unlock?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] gedamsandeep:
thank you for reply :o

yes i can enter in fastboot mode when i type in cmd "fastboot devices" it shows my device number :good:

new thing is when i type "fastboot device-info" it does't show device status instead of it it shows all command list

& when i try fastboot oem unlock it shows (remote-unlock is not allowed)

i know when bootloader is locked i cant flash fastboot rom...still i decided to flash fastboot rom through miflash tool it also recognizes my device but when i flash rom it shows error( mismatching image and device)
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Lupin The Third:
Something is not clear.

So you unlocked your phone earlier and flashed a patched boot.img, right?

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Lupin The Third:
Oh no, relocking after altering the system is really bad.

Try flashing with mi flash tool in edl mode (search for it). If that doesn't work, I guess is service center time.

Ok, good that you are an experienced user! :)

My recommendation is to try with another pc to make sure the problem is not the phone.

Too, try to boot twrp and see if the pc detects the phone in twrp. In short isolate whether the problem is the phone or your pc.

I was running Stock ROM with August Security patch until yesterday when I switched to Liquid Remix FINAL version (8.1.0) and I have 3 questions :

3. Which ROM has maximum stability, no bugs (like stock) and no unnecessary bells and whistles? Apart from LOS 15.1, of course.

After rooting device what are the important things we should do first to make our device secure?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Lupin The Third:
If you root your phone, first thing to do to make it secure is to unroot and lock he bootloader! :victory:

Kidding aside, just use common sense in the apps u download and use, and review carefully the root permission you give to them... don't mess with the system folder if you don't know what you are doing.

...and yeah, careful with the websites you browse, this is true for an unrooted phone too!

Varben, whats the reason for installing the modified gapps on the LO15.1 rom (in the LO15.1 thread OP)? Is it because gapps would be erase/corrupted after an update? Is it the same for other custom roms?

And whats the status with TWRP on custom roms? Does TWRP get erased after updates?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Lupin The Third:
On Los for tissot twrp will be replaced with the stock recovery after the next update if you use the inbuilt update mechanism.

This doesn't happen with other custom roms.

Gapps: the modified ones will survive the update process (in los 15.1).

If the opengapps upgraded to the addon.d v2 then it should survive the update too as is the case with mindthegapps.

I can't install ota after rooting with magisk. I followed the GitHub guide on how to apply ota, everything went smooth until the do not restart step, it told me to go to magisk, select install, and select install into inactive slot or something, my magisk just showed do you want to install magisk 17.1. How do I apply the ota now? P.s. I don't have twrp installed, and yes I did follow the exact steps of the GitHub guide.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] barrack1:
I think it happens because you weren't quick enough to start the install immediately when the OTA update goes into 'step 2'. I find it easier to do a full uninstall before any OTA updates instead of following the Github guide. The alternative method has a thread describing the steps if you care you search for it.

Hi, please help me, I have a problem with my mi a1 phone.

After installing new system 'tissot_images_V9.6.4.0.ODHMIFE_20180712.0000.00_8.0_735823083f

the phone is not working accordingly. If I want to call someone, it shows that I have to switch of the airplane mode like this "Turn off the airplane mode''.

It cannot find the network. I can see my imei number, and my sim card is working on other phones. I tryed everything even reset, update of all version.

For example: tissot_images_7.8.23_20170823.0000.00_7.1_61cf97d794 and

I doubt a custom kernel will help here since you would not want to modify anything on the system partition in order to pass safetynet.

why my mi a1 cant charge , but if i turn off my phone its charging
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Gyro01:
Don't know what caused it, maybe it's some ccleaner-type app (from google play)

I tried to flash it with MiFlash and it says (remote: device is locked. cannot erase)

When I try via fastboot command promt "fastboot oem unlock" and it returns "remote: oem unlock is not allowed"

I don't want to wipe out/factory reset, in my own rooted MI A1 (not the one I opened this thread for) I managed to fix bootloop with MI A1 without deleted..

Any advice?

Thanks a lot!!
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] SnakeByte:
Try to re-download the latest official over ota, reinstall and factory reset. This fixed some of my Mi A1 bugs... make sure you backup before doing so, you'll erase everything.

---------- Post added at 01:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:23 AM ----------

If you get "remote device locked" and it shows you "oem unlock is not allowed' your bootloader is not unlocked yet. In order to unlock it you will lose your data.

Did you check oem unlock on dev options? And it stays on? Sometimes if you turn oem unlock on, it will switch off by itself, so you may have to switch off dev options all together and turn back on from build # / miui version, and switch oem unlock on again.

And only after this step you can "oem unlock" with cmd.

But again unlocking / relocking bootloader will wipe your device.

Depends where exactly you gonna use it and if it has the gsm bands for that country, plus it must be unlocked from any providers. Give it a try.

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] SnakeByte:
[MENTION=6557243]Gyro01[/MENTION] on your earlier post you said you managed to fix bootloop on MiA1... is that correct? Can you boot into system?

If you can't then you have an option in factory recovery mode (power+vol.up) to wipe out data/system but you don't wanna lose you stuff, right?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Gyro01:
I managed to fix it on a different mi a1 with root which was already oem unlocked...

You say that my only option is wipe out.. i was told in other post that I should follow this guide which is much more complicated than the vol up+power >wipe out/factory solution:

which one should I do?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] SnakeByte:
I didn't say you only have an option but "you have an option" ;)

Anyway, the edl guide it's pretty straightforward and not hard, i would try that first, then you can save, backup and restore your partitions, but as I've been reading, lots of folks had problems due to usb ports and right drivers, yet most of them succeeded, so make sure you download and install necessary ones.

---------- Post added at 17:56 ---------- Previous post was at 17:42 ----------

@Gyro01 May have a different solution, but i am not sure if this will work on locked bootloader or not.

If you download the "beryllium_global_images_8.9.20_20180920.0000.00_8.1_global, which is the official rom for Mi A1, from miui site, and then unzip it in your computer, make sure you have your factory usb-c cable and installed drivers, go to the rom folder and you can find the windows batch files (as flash_all, flash_all_except_storage, etc)... give it a try with flash all without storage, you just have to double click it, and if it works, will start installing. Your phone in fastboot. I know this always worked for Zenfone 3 Laser roms, and saved me anytime when i needed.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Gyro01:
Thanks again, can I try this "flash_all_except_storage.bat" with this version "tissot_images_V9.6.2.0.ODHMIFE_8.1" ? it's what I have right now and I couldn't find the one you mentioned :/
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] r0teiro:
New happy Mi A1 user here. I have LOS 15.1, amazing work of the devs and great community.

If have two questions I couldn't really answer yet:

1) What are the advantages of FrancoKernel compared to stock kernel? Battery life? Performance? I couldn't really find a comparison between those two.

2) Is there any possibility to control the charge current apart from using a different charger (e.g. via a software or a special kernel)? I like how fast the MI A1 charges, however I'd like to use fast charging only when I really need it. For overnight charging I'd prefer to charge more slowly to reduce battery wear.

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] SnakeByte:
Worst thing is a harsh word. Will just wipe out your data, storage, cache, dalvik and factory reset the system. I did it many times including on Mi A1 but i had no data to lose, all was backed up. Keep it as last resort as you're already in bootloop, try edl, sounds hard but there's just few more steps to do and if you follow the process you'll get your data saved.
