[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Superbia:
To OP and the issue at hand, have you tried the fastboot image to install chinese stable or developer rom? That should flash and allow you to unlock bootloader again.

To the people whining about this policy of Xiaomi, you are buying a product for a different market. There is nothing wrong with their policy and you should wait for global version of the phone if you want global image with locked bootloader. It's a little like complaining that the chinese MMO you play over vpn doesn't have english menus. Well no, it's not for that market.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Rantanplan12345:
I tried only the chinese recovery rom for flashing with the pc-suite. The fastboot image, I can only flash with twrp or miflashtool, right? TWRP dont work, I cant boot in it. And miflashtool says, as I tried to flash the global rom, that it isnt allowed to erase a locked device.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Superbia:
Nah, the fastboot image flashes best in my experience if you unpack it, all the way. You will get some folders and .bat files. make sure you have fastboot in either PATH or same directory make sure fastboot detects the image and after that run the flash_all.bat and it should flash it.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Rantanplan12345:
​

That dont work, because the bootloader is locked. Fastboot says too, that it isnt allowed because the lock, same when I try to install twrp on the locked phone.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Superbia:
Hmm you tried "fastboot oem unlock" also right?

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Dior DNA:
I friend and his girlfriend both have identical Mi A1 (stock, unmodified, except bootloader unlocked).

Both always successfully OTA upgraded in the past (up to Oreo July Android security patch level V9.6.4.0).

Now both were presented with the August security patch level V9.6.5.0 OTA upgrade.

One of the devices upgraded successfully.

The other one downloaded upgrade successfully, but gets an error during install.

Style "something went wrong". My friend tried twice.

Does this ring any bell?

I can always try to help him with fastboot or twrp V9.6.5.0 stock zip or with V9.6.4.0 to V9.6.5.0 OTA zip

(all posted in other thread in MiA1 forum) .

But, I thought about asking for potential similar experiences here first.

Have a nice day.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] .:Addicted:.:
Unmodified but did he ever boot twrp?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] myself379:
Be sure to check both partition A/B. For example, It is possible to have TWRP Recovery in Partition A and Stock recovery in Partition B.

Assuming current active partition is in Partition B, then while updating the OTA, it'll build the image in Partition A, then it'll reboot and try to flash via Recovery, but the Recovery is TWRP, and error is thrown.

For my case, my failed case is because I did not uninstall Magisk, be sure to uninstall Magisk
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Dior DNA:
[MENTION=5612209]myself379[/MENTION] and [MENTION=6000438].:Addicted:.[/MENTION]

I thought about non stock recovery partition too (be it in A or B or both).

I once booted TWRP recovery-3.2.1-2-oreo.img over USB to make a TWRP backup. I did not allow TWRP to install itself, but maybe it did, one never knows there is a bug ... I will soon have opportunity to check next time my friend comes to visit me again with his device.

Keep you informed.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] .:Addicted:.:
If you booted twrp & mounted system rw & not read only, thqt may be the cause.

Reflash system & boot partition to both slot through fastboot.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Dior DNA:
Correct, I always ignore the system rw warning with TWRP.

Not sure though how that would influence stock recovery to not flash OTA, if, say, that system rw mount happened weeks ago in TWRP booted over USB from fastboot. Would TWRP have written something in system?

I can indeed flash system & boot partition through fastboot. I guess you mean: flash old system & boot partition right?

In the future, when booting TWRP over USB from fastboot, I will disallow system rw mount (which indeed is not needed just for taking TWRP backup),

Thanks for help.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] _mysiak_:
As soon as you mount system as R/W, OTA will fail. It doesn't matter if you write something to the partition or not.

Also first reconfigure TWRP and then reflash the stock system, as TWRP remembers its settings and next time you boot into TWRP, your system partition will be mounted as R/W and you are in the same situation again.. :)
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Dior DNA:
Thanks for reaction.

It must be my poor understanding or imagination :confused:.

I have never flashed TWRP : the recovery is stock, in fact everything is stock. I only booted device once via fastboot over USB in TWRP (to make a TWRP backup). If just during that TWRP boot system was mounted rw, how would that affect OTA update weeks, months or years later on an otherwise always stock device?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] _mysiak_:
Mounting system as R/W will change some parameters, resulting in different hash than OTA update engine expects, hence it will abort the installation and show "installation error" message. User can easily verify if system was mounted, from terminal emulator with commands "sudo tune2fs -l /dev/block/mmcblk0p25" for system_a and "sudo tune2fs -l /dev/block/mmcblk0p26" for system_b. Look for "last mount time" - any recent date is "wrong". So even if you did not flash TWRP, but mounted system partition as R/W, your next OTA will fail and the only solution is to reflash stock system image. Once you're back to fully stock, consequent updates should not fail (at least not due to this reason:)).
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Dior DNA:
Thanks for explanation!.

OK one can figure out if system was ever mounted rw and fail. Fair enough.

Still a bit curious about which hash you talk, but probably some 'meta' hash.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] _mysiak_:
If you're really interested, I would advise checking OTA update engine's source code. I don't know such details (just too lazy to dig through source code myself) :)
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Dior DNA:
I had already checked, of course, there are indeed meta hashes, that is where I got the word from, not that I understand it completely :cowboy:
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Dior DNA:
Thanks all for help. My friend came by and:

I fastboot flashed F 9.6.4.0 system img onto a/b and then OTA to 9.6.5.0 went well..

I fastboot-ed into TWRP again (and made backup) but question to mount system rw was not asked.

I guess next OTA may fail again as I had not first reconfigured TWRP to disallow system rw (will do next time).

Have a nice day
[Samsung Gear S2] TheMadScientist:

So how do I go about updating mine to the 3.0

Download the firmware zip of the same version you have on your device from Asus's website. Then extract the boot image from the zip using the payload_dumper tool. Now try flashing the boot image when your device is in fastboot mode connected to a PC using command:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

And then restart to see if it solves the problem:

fastboot reboot

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] DoR3M3:
I just got one, had it out 10 minutes, then back in the box.

I didn't have the same thing, I had slight staining at the bottom of the case.

Looks like someone from the factory in China, didn't clean their fingerprints off well, so I had a slight discoloration from a fingerprint stain.

Wait did you just say stain? Yes that's right, because I then touched the back of the gray, and then also rubbed a finger around, and only within a few seconds it was stained and I couldn't wipe it all out, and yes my fingers were very clean. Now that's crazy to touch the case for only a few seconds and getting fingerprint marks that won't completly come out.

So either I had a bad piece of cermaic, or these are terrible fingerprint magnets and they stain too, so I tossed it back in the box and sent it back as soon as it arrived.

Essential should of made the Gray in a gloss finish like the white and black, easier to keep clean.

Everyone has different tastes, but I found the matte look cheap/cheesy.

Some people's hand oil is different and more or less corrosive or or likely to soak into the ceramic back. Ceramic depending on the glaze on it can absorb oil. I think this is why some have more or less problems on the Halo grey satin finish back.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] ghostwheel:
I was recently traveling through New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming by car. Network coverage was quite bad. From time to time it would help to turn the phone to flight mode, and back, and then it would discover the network. (Or on and off altogether)

In Wyoming, even in major(ish) cities I had no coverage. When I scanned for the network, I could see various nets, but not T-mobile.

Then something strange happened: I put the phone on the net through wifi. I saw a strange message "SIM updated" or something like that. Afterwards I had 4G coverage. (???)

What is going on? How can I keep the internet working while driving? And what is that strange SIM message? Can I do that myself without needing to have wifi?

FYI - Personally, my brick occurred when I attempted to UPGRADE to a new version of a Lineage OS 16 build from here: https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=281289&sort_by=date&sort_dir=DESC ....it occurred after I attempted to reflash from TWRP - my guess is that it was bootloader related or I attempted to root incorrectly.
