I'm currently downloading those files.

The commands that I need will be:

fastboot flash boot_a boot.img

fastboot flash boot_b boot.img

fastboot flash system_a system.img

fastboot flash system_b system.img

Correct?

Thanks
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] TheAwesomeRB1:
Well, for my case i would rather remove everey thing and start from scratch for a fresh start with only One command and zero risk, if you get the same result with fastbooting go ahead.

After doing some research, found that using a macbook, we should change the codes to:

./fastboot flash boot_a boot.img

./fastboot flash boot_b boot.img

./fastboot flash system_a system.img

./fastboot flash system_b system.img

But after doing:

./fastboot flash system_a system.img

I got this error message:

target reported max download size of 534773760 bytes

Invalid sparse file format at header magic

sending sparse 'system_a' 1/4 (522236 KB)...

OKAY [ 18.147s]

writing 'system_a' 1/4...

FAILED (remote: Partition flashing is not allowed)

Tried every code but the message is always the same: FAILED (remote: Partition flashing is not allowed)

I enabled OEM Unlocking in Developer Options and debugging.

What I'm I missing?

Edit: Yeah, after reading some more, it seems that it is required to have the boot loader unlocked and I don't have it. Bummer.

Since your windows is down, can you try it on a virtual machine (vmware workstation) ?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] senntennce:
I can try to do it but I need to have the boot loader unlocked correct? I don't.... :(

Will have to do the steps or use MiFlash tool right?

Thanks!
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] Hakkinan:
That's the reason then, you can't flash anything without an unlocked bootloader, not even MiFlash will work without unlocking your device. The only way to flash with a locked bootloader is through EDL and you don't want to do that.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] senntennce:
Thanks a lot!

I will check on how to do that first. The bugs from the "first" are a little annoying but I can live with them for a little more.

Again, thank you!
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] senntennce:
Well.... Unlocked the boatloader, flashed the files you mentioned, update, profit!! Thank you very much. Reinstalling the rest of my stuff (minus the things I didn't backup - stupid me).

However, I'm having a strange message on reboot regarding the bootloader being "unlocked". If I lock it again, will it go away? Will things be deleted (again)?? Or can I ignore?

Thanks
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] TheAwesomeRB1:
That's normal, i would recomand to just ignore the message since maybe somday you ll need to root the Phone or tweak something you ll avoid to repeat the unlocking procedure, enjoy.

Did you try to root the phone with magisk ?

Try to clear cache, if it doesn't work then reflash the fastboot of your specific build, or download Pie OTA and try to flash it, hope this helps.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] senntennce:
Nope. I installed a VM machine like you said, installed windows, downloaded a tool (https://xdaforums.com/mi-a2/how-to/mi-a2-toolkit-unlock-bootloader-root-t3834585), unlocked the bootloader, fast booted the files (image and boot), all went ok. After, using the same tool, decided to "install gcam 'whatever'". Got the message "your system was destroyed". Fast booted the same files, system booted but got "NO WIFI". Followed the steps to Fastboot all those files, device is now up and running again with wifi.

I think I'm a natural to f*** things up! LOL

WILL NEVER, EVER, do this again... ahahah

EDIT: THANK YOU VERY MUCH!! I really appreciate your help on this case. Now, the device is updated to the lated version and downloading the needed stuff.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] TheAwesomeRB1:
Im glad we could help, i recommand you to not root the device for now untill a verified version of the patched boot / official downloadable rom is out, also avoid flashing stuff if you re not sure at 100%, enjoy.

Hi,

Thanks for replying!

I've seen this thread already, but it is a bit confusing.

Someone says to use miflash, others the fastboot method, others says to flash part of the firmware.

I ask for apply the official ota leaving data, configurations and magisk.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] PC295:
"leaving" in this content is for me (Germany) ambiguous.

So you want a

Or you want Upgrade to Pie

without

?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] robiox:
Thanks for your patience!

The second!

Pie upgrade without data/app lost!

I have no time to reinstall all the stuffs!

Logically I will do a backup of all the data before!

Which program can I use for the backup?

Or is there a way to backup the entire system for restore in case of problem or bad update?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] PC295:
Then you can use the fastboot script as linked.

I use TitaniumBackup (Android) and MyPhoneExplorer (Windows).

I do not know if TWRP works reliably to backup and restore the system.

Experience reports, the official TWRP version is almost unusable.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] krzygaj:
Why do you use these two backup programs? is not just one of them enough? I am asking because I plan to make copies before system updates and I do not know what solution to decide.

Thanks in advance for the information

I was trying to do Root in it, but it was giving failure, it appeared the following message:

[Huawei Mate 20 Lite Questions & Answers] djluis48:
Hello! Well, the time have come for an upgrade. My S7e's battery is dying too quick and is laggy as hell. Looking for replacements, i have the option to get this phone for pretty much nothing on my carrier. Should i got for it?

My main concerns are the overall performance (CPU and GPU) as i hate laggy phones and battery life, would love a phone that actually gets me through the day. Is the Mate 20 Lite good enough for me?
[Huawei Mate 20 Lite Questions & Answers] forbidden8:
Will be good to mention for what you use your phone mostly.

Anyway, here are my thoughts.

If you are gaming kind user... Go for other phone. Here you must be play at medium settings on most of the games.

If you are camera kind user... Go for other phone. Here you will got a pretty much a mediocre quality photos. AI camera is much of the marketing trick, To me HDR on back camera didn't work well. You cant install a gCam bcoz of a Kirin soc limitations. After shot processing is poor. Overall camera satisfaction is little below average.

If you are social media kind user... Keep in mind screen dimming issue. You will play much with a brightness slider very often in apps.

If you are easy kind user... If you use a phone mostly for calls, little web browsing, few captures with frends that you watching on the phone... Maybe Mate 20 Lite will fit to you. Battery is the bigger advantage of this device. Will take you more than a day and half with that kind of usage.

I'm sure on this price every phone will have disadvantages, but take a look on Poco F1, Honor play, Asus ZenFone 5, Moto G6 Plus or some Samsung A series.
[Huawei Mate 20 Lite Questions & Answers] djluis48:
Thank for your insights! Im more of a gamer. A good camera is appreciated, but not an absolute must. I would like it to be on par with my S7e at least though. I will see what i can do then. Seems like this phone isn't the one for me. The Honor Play seems nice but its not available on my carrier/country.
