i had similar problem when transfered rom from linux to phone . i switched to windows 10 and the file flashed just fine . i believe the mtp and file transfering in general with twrp/pbrp available for our device does not work well with certain OS or usb ports .

Don't need to revert back to oreo

I was in stock 10.0.3 January update

Try using pbrp recovery

Wipe everything (data,system,internal)

Flash PE zip and if you cannot transfer file from computer in recovery mode then try sideloading it

And reboot

To root

Boot into recovery

Flash latest magisk and reboot

And Ad exposed was also working properly but im facing anomalies lately

Like framework is installed but not active

Tried restart...

No rom passes the security check, because the phones bootloader is unlocked. I think there is a work around with magisk. But also, this phone does not have NFC.

No, you flash it whatever slot you're on then switch to the other
[Xiaomi Mi A2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Catsonvi:
If you switched to B when first installing the ROM (it installs on the inactive slot, so if you switched to B it installed on A) and then switched to A, now you need to switch to B again, update and switch back to A. It's the opposite if you were on A and then switched to B, but I suppose you know what you did.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Nebrassy:
No, you don't, you flash on the same slot the rom is in then switch the slot, there's no point in making it flash on the same slot the rom is currently in.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Lurensu:
Why?

It's simpler than that: if you're on A, update from A (it will automarically install on B)->switch to B, the next time you will update from B which is what you will be already using (the ROM will be installed on A)->switch to A and so on

Hi guys,

Couple questions I could not find answered, I am an old-time flasher, things have changed a lot since Treble and it's hard for me to keep up.

I wanted to confirm that root is now optional when flashing ROMs, is that correct? I see "7.2 (optional)" in the instructions, not sure what the 7.2 significance is, but it appears this means root is not necessary?

If root is not necessary, can I still encrypt my device after flashing this ROM? I see in TWRP installation tutorials that I need to flash a file called "Disable_Enforced_Encryption", perhaps I am following a bad TWRP tutorial and should be following a different one? I'd love to keep the phone encrypted.

Lastly, I know there's no going back from this ROM, you can't downgrade versions, is this going to cause a significant issue or is this low risk? I doubt I ever want to go back, but this appears to be a new limitation on devices using Treble that didn't exist previously.

Hopefully I don't sound too bone-headed, first ROM flash in 3 years! I'm excited.

Thanks kindly

I started from 9.6.17.0

Developer options (usb debugging ON and OEM unlocking ON)

Downloaded Mi A2 toolkit and adb

Unlocked bootloader with mi a2 toolkit (cmd)

Rooted phone (Magisk)

I think my active Slot was B. I wiped from both slots, and i didnt have OS. I could use between bootloop and fastboot menu (then in TWRP trough toolkit).

Later I transfered ROM zip with cmd in TWRP but I couldn't install it.

Is that because I probably deleted OS, and I needed stock 8.1 to flash rom or I just need zipped ROM for flashing... Stucked at bootloop.

Tried to flash 9.6.15.0 and 9.6.16.0 (couldnt find 9.6.17.0 software) with MiFlash but it would give me errors or it says complete but nothing happened. Still in bootloop.

After that downloaded 9.6.10.0 and flashed it with MiFlash (needed about 10 mins to do it) and I got software back.

System -> System updates -> updated to 9.6.17.0 (this update was ~1gb)

Can anyone give me some detailed help about when I get into TWRP? Which slot to wipe, what to do with A and B, how should I solve that if I try again to flash this ROM?

Last time i used to change ROMs on my old S2 (a lot of years ago) and it was very easy...but this [emoji52] Miflash couldn't flash latest softwares, I was worried what I'm missing there too [emoji849]
