thx for the super fast reply.

https://xdaforums.com/mi-a2/development/rom-v10-0-1-0-pdimifj-t3865375/post78127102 in the other thread i read smth about unlocking critical partitions but the OP doesnt mention that. is that neccessary or does bootloader unlock suffice to flash everything?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] ckpv5:
That is correct. To fastboot flash need unlock bootloader & unlock critical partition.

Maybe VPN method more suitable if you don't want to unlock critical and/or unlock bootloader.

There are various threads on how to get OTA with VPN.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] 4RK4N:
thx for the tip with the vpn. why didnt i think about that myself?

maybe its just me but im not recieving whatsapp or telegram or any other notifications after the phone went into doze like lying on the table for 10 mins. once i open the apps again i get my messages. the other person only sees one tick mark on the messages they sent me meaning i didnt even recieve it which seems to be true.

battery optimization turned off for those apps and also for play services and google services framework. somehow i dont recieve gcm push notifications for any app after phone goes into doze.

It's adaptive battery issue, if you turn it off, everything will work instant.

But I choosed to stay with adaptive battery, I assume it will learn something after week or two of using the phone, and it is getting better every day.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] 4RK4N:
i never had that issue on my other phone running pixel experience GSI.

shouldnt adaptive battery ignore apps excluded from battery optimizations anyway?

UPDATE: did a factory reset and it seems to work now. without whatsapp and the likes excluded from battery optimizations and with adaptive battery enabled.

UPDATE 2: yep it works. to anyone who also experiences notification probs after update i would recommend a factory reset.

Thanks to lept_2014 for posting this, it enabled me to reset my phone after I got a "Your system is destroyed" message on both slots whilst trying to install TWRP.

One thing I would like to add though, on the linux instructions I had to carry out an additional step and until I worked out what was needed, payload_dumper just spat out error messages at me. The additional step required was to install python-protobuf which was not installed by the 'pip install protobuf' command. Maybe on other systems it is installed, but on mine it had to be done seperately.

thanks again.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Roi Danton:
Thank you for this information. All I did on Debian Linux (Stretch 9) was:

Python 3 and the rest was already installed.

Then just started the script:

python payload_dumper.py payload.bin
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] hank81:
Doing that leads most times times (if not all) to a bootloop or boot stuck at logo. Flashing pauses when system/vendor image banks have been uploaded.

That's fine, it's the expected behavior. Just wait 25-30 minutes for completing the flashing process and don't mess breaking/resuming.

Who was looking for a 10.0.2.0 Fastboot Image? ;)

V10.0.2.0.PDIMIFJ_Pie_jasmine_fastboot.zip

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603877184

Just uploaded it now. It includes two batch files to flash everything onto the device. I tested it with two A2 devices which were on 10.0.1.0 and unlocked (also critical unlocked). Worked perfectly. Have fun with it.

Maybe you like to add it to the link collection of the first post.

/EDIT: Oh sorry, forgot: The file includes two batchfiles. One for flashing without root, the second is for flashing the Magisk patched boot.img - so if you like to have root you might want to remove the last command (reboot) from the first batch file so you can flash the patched boot.img without having your device rebooted first.

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Lunatiic:
The linux kernel uses free ram as cache/buffer in order to speed up the system, because free ram is useless. When the memory is needed, say you opened an app, the amount of memory required is freed from the buffer/cache, don't worry about that, for the kernel, buffer/cache is almost the same as free memory. Every linux powered operational system does it. The OOM (Out-of-memory) situation will only trigger when you already have no buffer/cache and memory is full, so the system will have to decide which process to kill.
