There is a bug with Chinese letters appearing in SIM cards color menu.

I'm failing to update even after "restoring image" option turned on in magisk.

¿What could be the problem? I have substratum theme engine, adaway and youtube venced only using root.

After a reboot I lost magisk/root, but still can't upgrade :c
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] Abrilabr:
Adaway messed with host file in /system so it counts as tampered, phone will never take ota.

U need to restore stock and untouched host file or either flash stock untouched 10.0.2 from MiFlash
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] nehuy:
Thank you very much :)

Do you have any idea of how to restore stock host file? Or shall I search over adaway on xda? :p

Got to mention that in adaway I had systemless option ticked.

Edit: I just googled how to do it, you need to leave only 127.0.0.1 localhost on the host file under system/etc, still can't take ota, so I guess I have to re-flash system partition x_x
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] Abrilabr:
Yea, u may had changed something in system partition. Even un background, reflash stock system, keep bootloader unlocked and go on
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] kitaco:
Absolutely no bug fixes in the January update. No AAC, only SBC codec. No notification bar spacing fixes. Nice!
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] nehuy:

I'm sorry to keep bothering you, but maybe you know if using this fastboot command would erase the phone data?

I have had no chance to verify if it really works, but if I

pair the phone to my car's stereo, play something on Spotify and change the codec to AAC or LDAC the selection sticks. This happened on the December patch and still works on the January one. I have meant to pair it to my laptop to verify the codec used but haven't had the chance to do it.

From the build 10.0.2.0 and up all the builds are stable and not beta builds. Because the build 10.0.2.0 is shown as stock rom from miui on miui page. 10.0.1.0 was not there so these two are the stable builds

I updated to January update and none of the SIMs work now... lol nice job Xiaomi...
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] peoeope:
You can update to the January SecurityPatch by following these steps:

1. Search for updates using your mobile data.

2. When the search is done you should see the January Patch (which is around 73MB in size).

3. It will say ''waiting for Wi-Fi'' in yellow text.

4. Turn on your Wi-Fi and you should be good to go.

Magisk v17 had a built in systemless hosts mode (which was enabled by default iirc) but starting with v18 they moved it to a Magisk module which is not installed by default any more.

Unfortunately not and I guess AdAway in combination with the previously mentioned change in Magisk caused it over here.

If anybody is on 10.0.2.0 (Pie with December patch level) and the OTA update fails (because of a modified system partition) try the following:

Download and extract the 10.0.2.0 fastboot ROM on a PC

Copy the extracted boot.img to your phone, create a patched_boot.bin with Magisk Manager (Install, Patch boot image) and copy it to the PC

Put the phone in fastboot mode

Flash the system partition to the active slot (fastboot flash system system.img)

Boot the patched boot image (fastboot boot patched_boot.bin)

Install Magisk via Magisk Manager (direct install)

Reboot

Apply the OTA update like always

This worked just fine for me.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] gufone:
I tried to apply the OTA update as always, but it fails. This thing of OTAs with magisk installed is becoming a pain in the ass.

I'm in pie and just noticed the January update,

The ota update says installation problem.

I don't need that battery percentage on status bar but I only want to know wether status bar spacing is fixed or not,

And is it worth to upgrade it to latest version?

If yes then how?

Please, inform me how to install this update - I have Pie and Magisk. With the previous update, I uninstalled Magisk and then I gave the installation in an inactive slot and unfortunately it ended up with a bootloop.

How to proceed with this update? Should i choose a direct installation after successfully installed the update?

Thank you
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] nehuy:
You can enable it with UI tunner app

Here you go, if you are in bootloop you can try to only flash boot.img and (if it doesn't work) system.img on the used partition.

But a more stright step would be to flash the whole image (10.0.2), update and then install magisk agian.

[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] Ag00gleUser:
Was having lots of trouble getting OTA working while on 10.0.2.0 (guessing it was because of adaway messing up my host file)

To avoid all this hassle every time there’s an OTA, finally decided to go back to stock and staying unrooted as the only reason for me to use root was Adaway (which I've replaced with Blokada - so far working out great) and Google Camera (I've settled on sticking with the stock camera which has been good enough for me)

In case it helps anyone going through what I went through, here’s how I managed to flash the stock rom without using Mi Flash (as I was having trouble getting that to work for me)

1.	Downloaded the stock rom to PC from the official site here: https://en.miui.com/download-354.html (making sure it was the same version I had on my phone - 10.0.2.0 in my case)

2.	Unzipped this official rom (I used 7zip)

3.	Added the ADB directory (where fastboot.exe is) to the path in Windows environment variables

4.	Opened command prompt (not sure if we need to be administrator mode, but I did so just in case)

5.	Went to the directory where the image files were (from the official rom unzipped package)

6.	Went to Fastboot mode on the phone and connected to PC

7.	OTA worked after I ran the following fastboot commands to go back to stock (I added them to a batch file, and ran the batch file in command prompt instead):

fastboot erase boot_a

fastboot flash modem_a modem.img

fastboot flash modem_b modem.img

fastboot flash sbl1_a sbl1.img

fastboot flash sbl1_b sbl1.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 devcfg_a devcfg.img

fastboot flash devcfg_b devcfg.img

fastboot flash dsp_a dsp.img

fastboot flash dsp_b dsp.img

fastboot flash sec sec.dat

fastboot flash splash splash.img

fastboot flash aboot_a emmc_appsboot.mbn

fastboot flash aboot_b emmc_appsboot.mbn

fastboot flash boot_a boot.img

fastboot flash boot_b boot.img

fastboot flash system_a system.img

fastboot flash system_b system_other.img

fastboot flash vendor_a vendor.img

fastboot flash vendor_b vendor.img

fastboot flash lksecapp lksecapp.img

fastboot flash lksecappbak lksecapp.img

fastboot flash cmnlib_a cmnlib.img

fastboot flash cmnlib_b cmnlib.img

fastboot flash cmnlib64_a cmnlib64.img

fastboot flash cmnlib64_b cmnlib64.img

fastboot flash keymaster_a keymaster.img

fastboot flash keymaster_b keymaster.img

fastboot reboot

Did you lose your data proceeding this way?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] skyline91:
or you can download mi flash tool and choose flash without loosing data :)

[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] p-walker:
Nope, I had adaway too and I could do the last OTA update without changing anything, by just following the OTA instructions in the magisk thread.

However you are still right that adaway touches the hosts file in system partition and thus OTA should not install, maybe my adaway was disabled by coincidence. However it should still be easily possible to revert to the original hosts file.

EDIT: After some investigation I actually found a really interesting thread on the OP6 forum explaining how A/B partitioning is working and why it should actually work with any Magisk module.

So basically when you fully flash a stock ROM (or if you haven't touched your stock ROM yet) there will always be a copy of all relevant partitions (such as system) on the inactive slot. So even if you touch your system partition on the active slot (e.g. changing hosts file via adaway) on your inactive slot there should still be the original system partition.

Which is why you could lose all modules after updating.

However even for this case magisk devs seem to have found a solution. If you follow the official OTA update procedure for A/B devices you will circumvent all post-OTA verfications, thus it is possible for Magisk to be active again right away after the update (see official tutorial .

TLDR: a lot of things have changed compared to the old days where we didn't have Magisk and A/B devices. Systemless rooting and OTA update should be a lot more seamless.

However everyone here is still right that the safest way to OTA updates is not being rooted and if you're rooted it logically better to be systemless rooted and not touch the system partition ;)

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kaneelias:
Hi all,

My little nephew dropped my Tytn II in the toilet and i want to know if anyone has had an issue with water damage and managed to resurect their phone.

I pulled it out within 3 seconds of falling in, i then removed the battery and slid the keyboard out furiously drying with a towel. After about 30 minutes i reinserted the battery and the sacreen showed thin multi colred horizontal lines and then went white.

I removed the battery again and then left it for 24 hours at which time i restarted it and got to the "smart mobility " screen but then the screen did the multi color lines and then went white after about 15 seconds, when i put the phone to my ear i hear like a scratching sound, i contacted the phone company i am with and they sia try drying it with a hair dryer or leaving it out in the sun, also they had a customer who put their phone in the oven and got it to work again. Granted this was not for a Tytn II but i am just wondering if anyone has had any success with getting their pohne to work again after a similar set of circumstances.

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Kane
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Boinng:
Patience can work wonders - you have to understand that the very intricate insides of your phone have been saturated (from the sound of things) and even the merest hint of any residual damp in the wrong place could effectively kill the phone as you've described. It could also cause more long term damage when it's powered up in that state, so I'd really recommend keeping the battery away from it for as long as possible. Do as the guys on the phone suggest, leave it somewhere warm and dry (your airing cupboard if you have one) and just wait a few days at least, maybe even a week. I wouldn't advise any extremes of heat (the oven etc) as this could damage something in itself - you don't want to go from a damp phone to a melted one! The LCD screen may be quite sensitive to heat, and you wouldn't want to damage that.

Well I did the same exact thing about a month ago...I was pissed! I reacted very quickly and pulled out the battery and let the phone sit overnight. In the morning I dissassembled the phone and took a hair dryer to all the circuit boards and pretty much every piece. I put it back together, said a little prayer, and it worked! Just thought I would share my experience.

So my recommendation...take it apart and dry it out nice and good.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kaneelias:
