It was some kind of pure stock ROM. like 12 apps in the drawer, the quick settings menu was oversized for the screen, and everything kept crashing every 20 seconds. the bootanimation is a red version of the kernel boot image, instead of what android actually uses.

Needless to say, i can't even say if it's AOSP, it's just some piece of crap someone put together for no reason.

I'm on stock and still searching for a rom that works with this phone.

I'm gonna be trying ressurectionremix in a while. any other ROM's to try to flash?

---------- Post added at 12:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:36 AM ----------

RR system-190406-arm-aonly-vanilla-nosu.img doesn't get past the kernel. i will keep trying to get it to boot for now.

how you all flash back stock rom? dowload from xiaomi and flash with twrp?
[Xiaomi Redmi 6A Guides, News, & Discussion] Ruskovskyy:
get a stock ROM from xiaomi's website (make sure it's the right version for the 6a) and use miflash. make sure to add a folder named "logs" into the program's directory.

RR's a bust - i'm gonna be trying this next:

https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1395089523397915040

AOSP extended 6.3

i'm not going on anything pixel related or LOS, by the way - i tried pphusson's (spelt it wrong) builds and failed on both of them.

---------- Post added at 01:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:32 PM ----------

It seems i'm doing something wrong. here's what i'm trying to do:

-fastboot format userdata

-boot to twrp

-factory wipe

-flash rom

-flash magisk

and i'm not getting past the kernel at all. any help?
[Xiaomi Redmi 6A Guides, News, & Discussion] Ruskovskyy:
I found a fix! you have to flash a stable ROM instead of the weekly one i was running on.
[Xiaomi Redmi 6A Guides, News, & Discussion] Ruskovskyy:
everything went okay except for one part.

c:\platform-tools>05-07 01:32:43.522 1030 1499 E lsc_nvram: [do_mkdir] fail to mkdir [/sdcard/shading_otp]: 2[No such file or directory] (do_mkdir){#65:vendor/mediatek/proprietary/hardware/mtkcam/aaa/source/mt6765/lsc_mgr/LscUtil.h}fast

the following error.

no matter what i do, reflash stock rom, try another rom, fastboot -w, whatever, it appears. if you have a fix, mention me. i'm gonna try AOSIP and i'm done. i tried VIPEROS pie, AEX pie, LOS pie, and RR pie. others like PPH AOSP didn't even get past the kernel
[Xiaomi Redmi 6A Guides, News, & Discussion] jonaaa:
A friendly advice, stay on MIUI, the most stable ROM is the AOSP 8.1, the only present bug is the volume control during calls.
[Xiaomi Redmi 6A Guides, News, & Discussion] Robbo.5000:
If anyone read the post before editing, please ignore it, I managed to find a working link.

I now have a new problem, maybe Xaoimi updated the later models, but I cannot power off the phone from fastboot. It will only ever attempt to reboot. Therefore I am struggling to get TWRP to stick.

I try and hold the power button a few seconds and it fails to turn off. Increasing the length I hold the power button still does nothing, until I get to about 15 seconds, at which point the screen turns off. However if I immediately release the power button at this point the phone will do nothing for 2 seconds, then vibrate and start to reboot itself. Has anyone witnessed this and discovered how to shutdown from fastboot, or launch into recovery from fastboot, without using fastboot commands?
[Xiaomi Redmi 6A Guides, News, & Discussion] Ruskovskyy:
2 Things i'd need:

- a more useable tutorial for getting the thing to boot (sdcard isn't mounting for some reason therefore i cannot get past bootanimation)

- a link to the AOSP (i tried it yesterday and couldn't get past the kernel even with a stable miui vendor)

*the AOSP version i tried was 9.0
[Xiaomi Redmi 6A Guides, News, & Discussion] jonaaa:
1- Use THIS TWRP (all credits goes to 4PDA members, not me.)

2- Format Data, Reboot to Recovery

3- Wipe Dalvik, Cache, System, Data, Internal Storage, Vendor and Cust, Reboot to Recovery

3b- Make sure to have the original boot.img, vendor.img on your sdcard (or OTG pendrive, whatever)

4- Flash boot.img and vendor.img from "flash image" section, go to Advanced, select Flash Cust, Reboot to Recovery again.

5- Flash the system GSI that YOU CAN FIND HERE

6- Reboot to Recovery again if you want to flash any extra zips like OpenGapps or Magisk

6b- Any ROMs will ONLY BOOT IF YOU FLASH the dm-verity patch or if you flash magisk (19.1 work fine.)

7- Reboot to system.

It's simple.

REDMI 6A IS A ARM AONLY DEVICE, NOT ARM64!!!!!

Bugs on AOSP 9.0:

- Sometimes the Signal will just stop working, you'll need to reboot (it happens every 30 minutes)

- Hotspot and VoLTE NOT WORKING

- Volume Control during calls is NOT WORKING

Bugs on AOSP 8.1:

- Volume Control during calls doesn't work.

- VoLTE also doesn't work.
[Xiaomi Redmi 6A Guides, News, & Discussion] Swift-R:
Any chance you could clarify these two steps? Where do I get those .img files and how exactly do I flash them?

I'm trying to flash AOSP 9.0 v113 (system-arm-aonly-gapps-su.img) using your steps but I'm getting a boot loop.
[Xiaomi Redmi 6A Guides, News, & Discussion] jonaaa:
From stock rom fastboot files.

If you're having issues with bootloop, you're doing something wrong, the method works fine on my side.
[Xiaomi Redmi 6A Guides, News, & Discussion] Swift-R:
Do you mean this?

There's no vendor.img though...
[Xiaomi Redmi 6A Guides, News, & Discussion] jonaaa:
Not this one, there's three "types" of stock rom on that website, you must download the FASTBOOT zip.
[Xiaomi Redmi 6A Guides, News, & Discussion] gusitir:
Dont use "-su" images, this have SuperSU in system, that cause bootloop, use vanilla version

And to flash Boot.img select the option "Boot" and to Vendor select "Vendor Image"

Im trying with LOS 15.1 aonly vanilla, with Magisk19.1 and GappsPico but dont work :( still in bootloop

Need to Wipe cache in every step?

I will try with AOSP 9.0 v113 system-arm64-aonly-vanilla-nosu.img
[Xiaomi Redmi 6A Guides, News, & Discussion] gusitir:
I tried with LOS15.1, AOSP 9 and 8.1 both with system-arm64-aonly-vanilla-nosu.img and dont work, is still in bootloop :(

i follow step by step, is for the system version im using?
[Xiaomi Redmi 6A Guides, News, & Discussion] jonaaa:
Redmi 6a is ARM AONLY, not ARM64.

The steps I've mentioned previously are working fine, I made a GSI of LOS 15.1 and it booted fine with these instructions.
[Xiaomi Redmi 6A Guides, News, & Discussion] Swift-R:
That was it. It's now working. Thank you so much!
[Xiaomi Redmi 6A Guides, News, & Discussion] gusitir:
Really thanks!!! I was installing ARM64 all this time :laugh: :laugh:

I need to install the ARM version :victory:

Its working perfectly
[Xiaomi Redmi 6A Guides, News, & Discussion] Swift-R:
Did you install the one with gapps? Or install open gapps after?

I'm getting the "Device is not certified by Google" error and can't certify it the normal way, by entering the GSF number into their site.
[Xiaomi Redmi 6A Guides, News, & Discussion] Ruskovskyy:
the vendor and boot from a stable build of MIUI flashable by fastboot will do fine right?

oh and you said volte DID work earlier, or SMS
[Xiaomi Redmi 6A Guides, News, & Discussion] Ruskovskyy:
Okay, I've read up on volte a bit.

from what i understand, no volte means no calls, right? if so, GSI rom's are not for me. unless it's possible to use 3G instead, may any of you try it? i will attempt flashing multiple roms including LOS 16.

Oh, and is wiping the vendor/data/etc. partitions and reflashing really necessary? is it just the fix for the mounting problem with /sdcard/shading_otp?
[Xiaomi Redmi 6A Guides, News, & Discussion] gusitir:
Install the vanilla version, download the OpenGApps ARM version

then to resolve the certified error download Device_ID.apk and install it in the phone, this give you and Google ID

With that register your phone here http://g.co/AndroidDeviceRegistration sometimes need register two times to work

[Xiaomi Redmi 6A Guides, News, & Discussion] Robbo.5000:
VoLTE is about voice calls over mobile data, not standard voice calls. No VoLTE will mean that you cannot make voice calls over apps like Messenger and Skype, etc. whilst only on mobile data. You will still be OK to make regular voice calls.

[Xiaomi Redmi 6A Guides, News, & Discussion] Robbo.5000:
Unfortunately no GSI image will have VoLTE working. The issue is with MediaTek devices. Apparently VoLTE does not work on any MediaTek device with any GSI image.
[Xiaomi Redmi 6A Guides, News, & Discussion] Swift-R:
For some reason the vanilla version with open gapps (pico) gets stuck in the "Checking for updates" screen during setup and I can't get past it.

Anyway, I tried the gapps-su image again and registered the device as you mentioned. It didn't work before because I didn't wait long enough, apparently. The next morning the Play Store was working.

The only "minor" issue I'm facing now is that it takes more than 10 minutes (literally) to boot every time. Anyone?
[Xiaomi Redmi 6A Guides, News, & Discussion] Ruskovskyy:
what ROM are you using? on AOSP 8.1, without flashing GAPPS and just flashing a su-gapps system image it boots within a minute.

EDIT: MAGISK HAS A SAFETYNET PATCH MODULE, TO FIX DEVICE CERTIFICATION JUST FLASH IT

10 minutes in -su image? im trying the -su images and i will request

Am I only with the "com.android.phone has stopped" error? i dont have SIM signal :( (is this the VoLTE bug?)

we need a thread to resolve the Redmi 6A GSI problems, this thread is for TWRP
[Xiaomi Redmi 6A Guides, News, & Discussion] jonaaa:
Just flash this zip (attached) to get your device certified, you don't need magisk for this, again, thanks to 4PDA members.

I read about this module and it seems that it changes your device fingerprint to a Huawei (forgot the model), i don't recommend to use this module if you're only looking for certification.

This is a PERMISSION problem from Google Play Services, if you flash the non-gapps variant, you'll need to do the setupwizard WITHOUT Wi-Fi or Mobile Data and then later you'll need to disable all permissions from Google Play Services and enable it again.

About signal, make sure to FOLLOW the STEPS CORRECTLY, you did something wrong, this is a VENDOR issue.

And about the boot, on my phone it takes only 10 seconds max to boot, blazing fast, PROBABLY you did something wrong.

Anyway, i recommend you guys to flash these ZIPs, they fix some problems on AOSP 8.1 (again, thanks to Best from 4PDA.)
[Xiaomi Redmi 6A Guides, News, & Discussion] Ruskovskyy:
Any fix for wifi? i flashed AOSP 9 (gapps-su), but it doesn't like wifi, boots in 20 minutes, and just freezes after like 5 minutes.

EDIT: i followed all steps as wanted in the tutorial.

EDIT2: any reason why the only ROM that actually wants to get past a bootloop is AOSP?

---------- Post added at 10:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:58 PM ----------

Android 9 is an official no-go to me. No rom works stable, or works at all on android 9.

RR, AOSP and LOS all on oreo all boot no-problem. RR just needed an additional reboot because of the SIM card.

---------- Post added at 10:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:31 PM ----------

RR OREO WITH GO GAPPS WORKS

signal patch 1 and 2 make phone calls work

sms patch makes sms work

cert patch makes device cert work
[Xiaomi Redmi 6A Guides, News, & Discussion] LeHalua:
So, what are the remaining problems that would prevent someone from installing a GSI on Redmi 6A? I'm currently on MIUI10 and looking to install phh or pixel GSI on my device. Has all the problems been solved (other than VoLTE, which I don't care about)?
[Xiaomi Redmi 6A Guides, News, & Discussion] jonaaa:
The only bugs I had on 9.0 ROMs was VoLTE, Volume during calls and some problems with signal, no problems with WiFi.
[Xiaomi Redmi 6A Guides, News, & Discussion] Ruskovskyy:
just flash the patches jonaa provided and you'll be okay. RR oreo works well, aosp too. just RR needs the patches and aosp doesn't seem to.

none of the 9.0 ROM's i tried worked. only phh aosp booted in 20 minutes and froze for good soon after, including wifi. all of them also don't let me flash Gapps because of system partition size. any causes for this?

EDIT: give me your exact vendor/fastboot ROM version. my filename is:

cactus_global_images_V10.3.2.0.OCBMIXM_20190420.0000.00_8.1_global
[Xiaomi Redmi 6A Guides, News, & Discussion] jonaaa:
I used the exact vendor, if you're having problems, you can also test older vendors like 10.2.8.0 or 10.2.5.0, i don't have Wi-Fi issues (only Hotspot) on the latest vendor.
[Xiaomi Redmi 6A Guides, News, & Discussion] Ruskovskyy:
Okay, so a few questions:

-Could you re-check the tutorial to make sure you didn't mispell anything? maybe the instructions could be wrong.

-What do i flash to the CUST partition? in the step where i'm supposed to flash vendor img to vendor, and boot to boot it says to flash SOMETHING to cust.

-did you flash the patches along with magisk on pie? maybe i just have to flash those to have it work?

-what do you mean by "exact vendor". exact SAME vendor or?

EDIT:

as a note, i'm assuming this is where you got your ROM with vendor and boot inside of it. it's linked by the 4PDA forum that seems to have helped so much.

http://en.miui.com/download-349.html
[Xiaomi Redmi 6A Guides, News, & Discussion] jonaaa:
1- No, everything's correct, you did something wrong.

2- Repeating, flash boot and vendor.img and THEN go to advanced and flash cust.

3- Magisk 18+ doesn't work properly on Pie, you need to disable dm-verity or flash magisk (17.1 recommended).

4- SAME VENDOR, SAME VERSION.

PS: I'm not using any Pie ROM anymore, i'm on AOSP 8.1 because i use Hotspot a lot.

I got the rom from here: https://mirom.ezbox.idv.tw/en/phone/cactus/
[Xiaomi Redmi 6A Guides, News, & Discussion] Ruskovskyy:
2. nvm

3. Useful, i was using 18 all along
[Xiaomi Redmi 6A Guides, News, & Discussion] jonaaa:
2- Uhh, what? There's a option named "flash cust" on advanced settings.

[Xiaomi Redmi 6A Guides, News, & Discussion] Ruskovskyy:
Oh, and, for your knowledge, RR oreo works just as well as pie with more features. if you can, i'd say flash it. haven't tested hotspot, but the only problem so far is that it tends to hang for good amounts of time when trying to cancel opening the camera app.

---------- Post added at 12:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:37 PM ----------

Yeah, i figured that out. i legitimately thought flash image settings, not one of the main headers. I'm gonna try P again, i took a full device backup already.
[Xiaomi Redmi 6A Guides, News, & Discussion] Ruskovskyy:
I tried again, repeating every single step.

I used:

-Magisk 17.1

-Followed every single step in your tutorial

-AOSP 9.0 V109 (system-arm-aonly-gapps-su.img.xz)

https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/releases/tag/v109

-Latest vendor(3.2.0)

Earlier, i didn't flash Cust after vendor/boot. I did now, and same result: Bootloop, eventually boots into system, and freezes quick after.

I'll try flashing the patches, got no idea what's wrong at this point.
[Xiaomi Redmi 6A Guides, News, & Discussion] Ruskovskyy:
tried plenty of things, including fastboot -w.

nothing worked.

I'll try the ROM from the site you provided later. for now, here's the pastebin. If you can, try capturing a logcat of your device booting and throw it into pastebin. maybe it'd give me some context. or don't, if you want.

[Xiaomi Redmi 6A Guides, News, & Discussion] jonaaa:
16GB. The internal storage doesn't matter, I saw a dude on telegram that had the 32GB variant and was using the AOSP 8.1/9 without any problems.

I guess i'll keep trying. fun thing is, i did get AOSP 9 running on my first try. (very very first try at flashing gsi) only problems were, err... it somehow booting without dmverity patch, no gapps, no root, crashes, more crashes, incorrect DPI, etc.

still got older vendors to try.
[Xiaomi Redmi 6A Guides, News, & Discussion] Ruskovskyy:
Do you think formatting data after flashing GSI would help? i'd want to see a logcat of the thing booting aosp 9 to see if the mounting errors spammed everywhere are normal...

Hello!

unless you want to ruin your privacy, share your IMEI with chinese scammers, bloat your device, or beg Xiaomi for root in their ROM's, there is likely no way. You at least need a way to flash a patched boot image, meaning:

It's an MTK device, and the vendor is still only proprietary. i am 100% sure we're still missing something.

I could try, but i can't, at least until i buy a new PC. i already have some knowledge of building custom ROMs, and if i get to be the one making it, it WILL be lineage. most likely 16.

If both are null, you screwed up. Flash stock ROM, and if that doesn't help, try restoring IMEI manually. baseband should follow with that. an app or tool will work fine, and if you didn't have a note written down with the IMEI, or have a sticker from the original packaging (my 6a box has 2 stickers with 2 imeis) then you might as well throw it away and not mess with a phone again.
