The question is still open, which one installs this OTA (without Updater).

The package v9.6.8.0.ODLMIFF does not contain Flash-Script, nor can it be installed via the Mi Flash Tool.

[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] PC295:
I know how to extract the files from the payload.bin.

But I am not sure if the flashing of the single * .img files works and if no data gets lost.

Has anyone already tried that?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] j1505243:
Nothing is lost, as those are full images. Yeah, guys on jasmine tried.

[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] kenshiwara:
Hello!

After extracting the zip folder of the OTA and entering the fastboot mode, which command I shall use to flash the *.img files?

I am trying to update my device from the system screen but it is always reporting an installation problem. I tried even to delete the Magisk and its manager and even flash the original boot image of the same update that I have but still, it won't install. Anyone knows how to update to the latest release? I am currently running the V9.6.6.0 update.

Thanks in advance!

how to grab zip file

[MENTION=7180076]j1505243[/MENTION]

here was trash.

just simple use logcat to grab the ota url =)
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] PC295:
The forum is written over two slots (A / B).

The flash script would have to look like this:

fastboot flash devcfg_a devcfg.img
fastboot flash devcfg_b devcfg.img

fastboot flash dsp_a dsp.img
fastboot flash dsp_b dsp.img

fastboot flash modem_a modem.img
fastboot flash modem_b modem.img

fastboot flash rpm_a rpm.img
fastboot flash rpm_b rpm.img

fastboot flash tz_a tz.img
fastboot flash tz_b tz.img

fastboot flash keymaster_a keymaster.img
fastboot flash keymaster_b keymaster.img

fastboot flash cmnlib64_a cmnlib64.img
fastboot flash cmnlib64_b cmnlib64.img

fastboot flash cmnlib_a cmnlib.img
fastboot flash cmnlib_b cmnlib.img

fastboot flash boot_a boot.img
fastboot flash boot_b boot.img

fastboot flash system_a system.img
fastboot flash system_b system.img

fastboot flash vendor_a vendor.img
fastboot flash vendor_b vendor.img

fastboot flash mdtp_a mdtp.img
fastboot flash mdtp_b mdtp.img

fastboot flash aboot_a aboot.img
fastboot flash aboot_b aboot.img

fastboot flash sbl1_a sbl1.img
fastboot flash sbl1_b sbl1.img

fastboot reboot bootloader
fastboot set_active a

fastboot boot boot-patched.img

After that:

Open Magisk -> Install -> direct install + install of inactive slot (after OTA)

//EDIT

I have tested it

IT WORKS!

Thank you for this info. Used your listing as shell-script to update my rooted a2lite, OTA won't install directly. So no problems, phone is on new version and all settings are as before.

Good work, mate.

One question: Why installing Magisk on A+B? Wouldn't it be enough to install on A, so that OTA in the future could work (hopefully) without problems, like described in the rooting thread?

Or give me some method how to this OTA update install without wipe data.. I'm currently 9.6.4.0 ..
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] PC295:
No. You can use Mi Flash Tool to update your phone without data lost.

Download Mi Flash Tool: http://en.miui.com/a-234.html

an install it.

Download current Fastboot OTA: http://bigota.d.miui.com/V9.6.9.0.O...0.ODLMIFF_20181010.0000.00_8.1_baf840279a.tgz

unpack this tgz-Archive, inside this unpack tar-Archive. (with WinRar, 7Zip,...)

Connect your Phone with PC an start ADB

adb reboot bootloader

The smartphone will reboot in fastboot mode

(Or press the Volume down key and the Power button at the same time to enter Fastboot mode)

Now start Mi Flash Tool

Push "refresh" to identify your Smartphone

Select: unpacked folder

and (important!!), choose "save user data" (bottom right)

then push "flash".

This takes a while. The smartphone will automatically restart.

Then you have an updated smartphone :o

if i flash the containing img files with manual fastboot commands, will my data get lost?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] PC295:
You must extract payload.bin with Payload Dumper, then you have .img-Files.

-> Payload Dumper: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=818070582850510260

then flash img-Files in fastboot mode:

fastboot flash devcfg devcfg.img
fastboot flash dsp dsp.img
fastboot flash modem modem.img
fastboot flash rpm rpm.img
fastboot flash tz tz.img
fastboot flash keymaster keymaster.img
fastboot flash cmnlib64 cmnlib64.img
fastboot flash cmnlib cmnlib.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
fastboot flash mdtp mdtp.img
fastboot flash aboot aboot.img
fastboot flash sbl1 sbl1.img

and boot patched_boot.img:

fastboot boot patched_boot.img

Then open Magisk App -> Install -> Install (direct)

[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] sinthemau:
Hello,

I tried OTA update but failed...

My status is:

1) TWRP official installed and running OK

2 Magisk 17.1 installed and running OK with root and some modules installed

3) Adaway installed (but before to activate to systemless support from Magisk Manager...then I activated but maybe too late so it messed with Systems, probably this is why OTA doesn't work!!!). Tried to restore host file from Adaway but same failure in OTA.

What are your suggestions to have OTA running??

I see here that I have 2 options:

A) I can flash the fastboot OTA (but it is NOT the file here attached, right??? I have to search for it somewhere???

B) Follow the [MENTION=7937675]PC295[/MENTION] procedure (I looked at a Google translated version of his German Tutorial but I'm not sure about all the steps...e.g. if I find that current active slot is a, I need to set active THE OTHER ONE, b in this case, and then fastboot flash all the images in slot b.......CORRECT ???

Then flash ALL THE IMAGES one by one (for I DO NOT understand how to do a batch file for running all together...my fault!)

Then patch again the boot.img from the dump with Magisk, I think...Maybe better to do as soon as possible before to go on with all the other stuff.

It seems to me very difficult, no... better say complicated to follow without mistakes, as I am not very expert in modding, can only install TWRP, Magisk for rooting, moduls and so on but not knowing Android architecture.

Anyway I would be very greatful for some advices how to go on with OTA v9.6.10.0.ODLMIFF for daisy without messing so to have no bootloops or trouble and also mantaing all my data on the terminal.

Thanks so much to you all
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] j1505243:
The method of installation is directly in the first post. Fastboot, as you see. Unpacking payload.bin, as described.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] sinthemau:
So I need to flash both slots, a and b, with all the images...I read that could be sufficient to flash only one...I've already extracted all the 14 images from the payload but anyway I wait a little because I'm afraid to do a big mess. :) I'm not a super expert, only a noob.

bootloop means your device reboots automatically? (my first boot on pie took several minutes)

With clean install you mean whiping data via recovery?

You could also try doing a factory reset by flashing userdata.img.

If that also not helps, you should try to flash back to stock:

1. grab full rom from http://en.miui.com/download-354.html (V9.6.10.0.ODLMIFF (Android O)

2. run flash_all.bat ( probably you have to remove the first 8 lines to disable version check in batch file, because you are doing a downgrade )

That should definitely fix your device!
