First select 0-Install drivers (if not already done).

If you have a locked bootloader:

Select 1 (Phone will reboot to fastboot mode).

Then 2 (If your bootloader is locked) Phone will be rebooted.

Then 3 (phone will boot temporary TWRP mounting system read-only).

When TWRP has booted select option 4: Phone will be rebooted.

Done.

You will have Camera2 Api enabled and bootloader unlocked (OTAs will work fine)

Unlocked bootloader:

If you have already unlocked the bootloader you can choose option 3 (boot TWRP) with phone connected with USB debug ON (no fastboot).

When TWRP has booted select option 4.

Done

WARNING:

Use option 5 (relock bootloader) ONLY IF you are on April firmware (or older) AND you have an unmodified system.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] MaCls98:
Thanks men! It works really great, it was little tricky with the language but nothing than google translate doesn't fix, just one question, with that recovery can i install magisk and the OTAs will still working? Great job with this, thanks
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] sipollo:
Sorry, I linked ita version...

ENG version

https://1drv.ms/u/s!AnNVEh3KeCSVj9dKhn2Zpx-DRI0Esw

You can install Magisk with that booted recovery but you will have to uninstall it before install OTAs.

Don't mount system read-write and don't alter system files or OTAs will fail.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] TheMartinexX:
Doing these steps would install the gcam or the tool does not come the apk
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] sipollo:
It enables camera2 API, then you can install the apk you want.

Here you can find (almost) all versions.

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] sipollo:
If you relock bootloader data will be wiped after May update.

You can:

downgrade to April (or older) firmware, enable API, relock THEN do OTAs

or

enable API and leave unlocked bootloader (OTA will work)

Question regarding may seruity patch
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] chuckychux:
Please guys I need your help, have been on April security patch for awhile now and have received May security patch but it's not installing. I went on YouTube and found out that if I'm too install may security patch through miflash tool by flashing the ROM I won't be able to install gcam. So i did factory reset on my April security patch, installed gcam through the gcam tool and then tried to update it again, but it's still giving me the same error. So I then downloaded the full April security patch so I could flash it through miflash tool,but I noticed when I open the app on my PC and connect my phone through fastboot it connects, but when I click flash the app says "success" so quick and it force closes, my phone remains on fastboot,nothing happens. Please guys I don't know what to do anymore. Need your help.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] sipollo:
Probably you have wrong/corrupted adb drivers.

Try reinstalling them or use another version.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] chuckychux:
I have the recent adb, but what will I do about the update to may security patch now. It's annoying me

Will it wipe data?

I am on may update and want to take backup of my apps will this help
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] sipollo:
After May update data will be wiped when locking/unlocking bootloader.

If you have unlocked bootloader you can enable API and leave it unlocked.

If bootloader is locked you can try to:

-Backup your data with ADB (don't know if it works even with locked bootloader)

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1929882

-Unlock bootloader (data will be wiped)

-Enable Camera2 API with my tool (without relocking bootloader)

-Restore ADB backup.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] heyfl:
I am quite new to this, so sorry in advance for simple questions. I am on May update and would like to install Google Camera the way, that I will go back to the original state (no root, bootloader locked, basically so that I can still apply the warranty). Does it mean I can still use your tool and do option 5 in the end to achieve this? And the only downside is that I will lose my data, i.e. the phone will be in the state as I bought it? That would be OK for me, I don't have much data there because the phone is new.

BTW, how is your tool different from the other one with simple UI window, which has been in place for some time? Is it basically that your tool doesn't do step 5 automatically and so without locking the bootloader back the data is preserved?

Thanks a lot in advance.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] FlankerD:
ok same problem.

I have just install May Update :rolleyes:

So what is the exact procedure order to get gcam now?

- unlock bootloader

- install twrp

- wipe system

- install april update

- install gcam (whit tool)

- lock bootloader and then install may update or the other way around?

can somebody write me some link where i can find the OTA whit april update that i need to flash?

Thanks to all guys:cowboy:

If you have not seen it yet, how to lock and unlock bootloader without wipe (thanks to IjazCI):

https://xdaforums.com/mi-a1/how-to/discussion-bypass-wipe-oem-unlock-t3804406
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] sipollo:
If you are on May update you can:

Select option 2-Unlock bootloader (data will be wiped)

Select option 3-Boot temporary TWRP (system will be mounted read-only to preserve OTAs)

Select option 4-Enable Camera2 Api

Reboot Phone (check if Google Camera is working)

Then you can relock bootloader (option 5) BUT you have to select the option and before pressing "Enter" on the PC hold VOL- until phone reboots to fastboot.

Long press power button to reboot phone.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] heyfl:
Thanks for your reply. Just to be sure:

* What happens if I just do all steps 2 from to 5 without doing anything special? Am I going to end up having a nonrooted phone, without any previous user data, with locked bootloader and with ability to install GCam?

* In step 2 you say data is wiped. If that's so, how more dangerous is step 5? Is there any more problem than just wiping the data again?

* Also, if I wanted to prevent wiping data in step 2, would it also help to hold the Vol- button when starting that step?

Thanks!
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] sipollo:
If you lock bootloader in step 5 without holding vol- you will lose Camera2Api because data will be wiped.

If you hold Vol- in step 2 data won't be wiped but when you boot temporarily TWRP (to enable Camera2Api) data will be wiped anyway for security reasons.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] heyfl:
I see! So basically, if I go through your steps, the data will be wiped anyway. But at the end, I can decide: A) do step 5 to lock the bootloader, but definitely hold Vol-, otherwise GCam still can't be installed, or B) don't do step 5 and leave the bootloader unlocked, as you mentioned before.

One last (hopefully) question on Vol-: so I hold it, I run the command and once the phone is booted to fastboot, I just go and long-press power button, wait for the phone to reboot and that's it, I can disconnect the phone from the PC. Right?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] sipollo:
Yes. To preserve data you can try to do a backup with adb or helium before unlocking bootloader, even if these methods aren't perfect.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] FlankerD:
Ok thanks man, i'm just here to try that but after press 1 the mi a1 goes into fastboot then i press 2 in the tool but my phone doesn't restart and the tool is waiting for it but it is always on fastboot.

it is normal? how long does it take to unlock bootloader?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] sipollo:
Try to boot Twrp with option 3, if it boots means that bootloader has been unlocked. Otherwise it means that drivers aren't working. In that case hold power button till phone reboots.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] FlankerD:
with option 3 the tool respond "

error : device '(null') not found

error : device '(null') not found

error : device '(null') not found

i just try to unistall and install drivers for pc. but it doesn't work. Are u sure that it works fine whit may update?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] FlankerD:
ok, I just managed to do it!! but when i lock my bootloader it start a wipe and than the gcam is unable
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] sipollo:
Read previous posts, you have to press and hold vol- before executing script for locking bootloader, after enabling camera2 api.

So:

Unlock bootloader

Boot Twrp and enable api

Boot system and see if Gcam is working

Relock bootloader with script but before hitting "Enter" on the PC press and hold vol-

Phone will restart to fastboot

Press power until phone restarts
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] heyfl:
Thank you very much for all your replies, I was able to successfully go through the whole process using your tool and instructions, including relocking the bootloader.

The only problem was that I have also run into "error : device '(null') not found" when running step 3. For some reason I was trying to do it in the fastboot mode, while it should be done with the phone normally running Android.

[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] beniox:
Hi there, I got a Le Max 2 X829 in 4/64 version. I'm on AOSIP on Android Oreo right now, but i've already tried few other ROMs as well as the stock one. But there's the problem: despite the fact i've got 64GBs of storage, system, recovery and my computer tells me that there are only 16GBs of which 5.8 are being used by the system. What could be the reason?
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] miracle908:
go to setting => storage => large file cleanup
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] ThE_MarD:
Heyyo, I've found coming from EUI ROM that the data partition sometimes needs a format.

Back up everything off of your phone to a PC or other storage solution and make sure you have a USB OTG with your ROM and gapps of choice or a PC with usb cable.

Next in TWRP please go to wipe > format data > yes. After that, reboot to recovery.

Next I'd also recommend wiping Dalvik, system and cache to ensure you're getting a proper clean start from EUI ROM and then reboot to recovery again.

Then flash ROM and gapps of choice and reboot to system and enjoy :good:
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] beniox:
i did this and didn't really help

but i'll try again and let know the result
[LeEco Le Max 2 Questions & Answers] ThE_MarD:
Just to be clear, I do mean format data and not data wipe. Data wipe does not reformat the data partition, it only empties the media folder.

Hi, does anyone know how to change the auto-brightness behavior? With previous ROMs I was able to change the brightness while auto-brightness is activated but with this one it's fully automatic and you can't change it at all.

I'm not having any luck with it on G920P. Everything goes smooth as you could want through Aroma (and in perfect English), but it boots up to a Russian-language welcome screen.
