If i convert to MI 6x my Mi A2, do i get B20 band, (800 band for 4G)? I think i read that i can´t get B20 if i converte a MI 6x to a Mi A2, because there are hardware diferences ( i don´t know if 6x don´t have the hardware or if is software disable)

But with Mi A2 to Mi 6x the problem is only software/rom, but i wanto to know if B20 can be enable in that case.

Hello, a friend bought the My A2, he wanted to make the method of converting it to My 6X, but when installing Miui10 Pie, he did not delete the Firmware Update folder, so he can not go back to Android One. There is some solution to this problem?

I'm not sure, but I think you can use Mi Flash to flash the fastboot ROM from Xiaomi ROM portal. Just make sure your phone is detected by the tool, but please double check in the forum if there is another option for you to try.

I Can't Booting From MIUI 10 PIE

Hello,,

I'm very Happy Coz My Mi A2 Succesfully Convert To Mi 6X Following Your Instruction In Page One..

After Installed Miui 9 Via QFIL,, I Installed Miui 10 Oreo And Succesfully..

But When I Try Miui 10 Pie,, I Was Delete Folder "Firmware Update" & Containing..

I Was Wipe System + Data + Cache + Dalvic..

Then Flashing Zip Miui 10 Pie In Page One..

And My MI A2 Can't Installed This ZIP Coz No Installed OS..

How I Can Flash This MIUI 10 Pie On MI A2??

There Something Wrong With My Step??

Or I Not Need For Wipe the System When In Miui 10 Oreo??

Please help Me..:(:(:(:(:crying::crying::crying::crying:
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] jayreen:
Got the same problem, flashing via adb sideload would fail about 46%, sometimes didn't show any error message, so if you don't watch your screen, you think flash successed. That's probably why you have no OS installed. After some research, it seems that it's a USB port or cable issue. My solution was to transfer the rom and the kernel to the phone using a Linux OS. Because in Windows the phone isn't detected as a storage device.

If you have many usb ports or cable, test different ones (test with a USB 2 port, it might work). If you don't as myself (I have a laptop with only 3 usb 3 ports) and don't have any computer with linux on it, just install a virtual machine, that's what I did. With VMWare, you can copy files from your physical machine to your virtual machine if you have installed vmware tools. That's how I did.

By the way, I came frome miui 9 straight to the last miui 10 Pie rom available, I don't know if installing miui 10 oreo no arb was necessary to avoid any rollback issue, cause I have to erase all the system before flashing anyway (so I thought erasing miui 9 or anything other os would give the same result). I flashed the hex kernel before rebooting as requested. Everything works perferctly, including the camera.

You tell me (or I will find out by myself if I want to rollback to Android One one day).
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] sz.hatef:
Don't worry, I had encountered the same problem, seems you need just flash hex kernel (I didn't test it by myself).

I solved my problem like this:

1. Install PitchBlack (while you are not able to boot in TWRP after flashing pie) (There is a version of TWRP which will be boot on your device but I am NOT sure if it is secure to use this version or not because this version has been designed for another phone, this TWRP recovery . )

2. Download an EU version of pie beta (like this) ( CN versions doesn't included Googleplay) (but I flashed this rom at first: Havoc-OS-v2.4-20190403-wayne-Official Pie) ( I think its important that you use a pie rom first )

3. Flash the rom by PitchBlack.

simple and practical :)

It might be something else, but if you're on windows 10, you could try to :

connect your device with usb 2 (instead of 3)

try to flash twrp on Linux.

My biggest issues were solved by switching to Linux or changing usb port. Adb sideload doesn't work on my PC in Windows. But I can copy files from linux to the phone while I'm in TWRP (that's how I do to download roms). And I managed to install properly TWRP by simply changing USB port, I had some error while flashing on my first USB port.

Make sure you have the rights setup in your network settings in miui. If it is well configured, try to flash the stock modem with twrp or fastboot.

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] CHaPoCA:
When you register an MI account I think it's automatic register your phone ID. It has nothing to do with your email (which is also linked, but this is not the case). This strange number you see is your MI ID(random name), you can access the global MI site and change it. There you can change many things, but I do not know if you can unlink your phone ID from there.

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Hi, first this is an awesome guide, I had no problems at all and MIUI is really stable.

After a back and forth between Android One Lagcity and MIUI, I decided to stay in MIUI.

So if I flash the latest EU ROM without deleting the FW folder the only consequence would be that I'll be stuck in MIUI right? Will I get any problems if I update from the updater app itself after that? (without TWRP)

After my bad experience I have no desire to come back to android one BTW, I won't flash TWRP if I don't have to.

And one last thing, the camera problems would be gone too? (can't connect to camera, etc)

If anyone is wondering, this is why I want to stay in MIUI

- way more smooth

- better gestures implementation

- impressive battery life and stand by

- easier custom rom installation (No A/B partitions)

- TWRP persistent

Thanks in advance! (English isn't my first language so if something isn't clear let me know)

I haven't found much difference between Oreo MIUI 10 and Pie, and almost nothing regarding the stability.

Right now Pie beta works very well, trust me, even the name "beta" isn't an appropriate lable for it,

I absolutely don't regret anything regards running MIUI on my phone, and even have no complain about Pie beta either, and if I found another A2 will convert it to 6X.

Updating is really easy and straight forward, not to mention I am a fan of Custom Recoveries.

Only thing would be this: I missed TWRP original theme, since PB has its own theme which I don't like it very much.

Having regular updates was my main purpose of buying A2, and thanks to XIAOMI.EU I have it right now, almost every week :)

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Victor Andrade:
you need to put quotation marks (" ") in the name of the zip file, because the name contains space, getting like this:

adb sideload "MIUI 10 (no arb).zip"

English is not my primary language, so let me know if you do not understand something!

---------- Post added at 04:36 ---------- Previous post was at 04:26 ----------

So, is it with the command below that verifies the arb status?

fastboot anti getvar

If it is, it returned me a value of 2. I imagine it is because I did the installation of the rom Hovac for the Mi A2 and after the conversion to the Mi 6X, I installed the MIUI 10 Pie. With that, i have some doubts:

1 - MIUI upgrades by TWRP increase tree number?

2 - I read somewhere that the roms of xiaomi.eu do not have arb, as well as the rom used in the guide. This is correct?

3 - If I install any other rom, other than MIUI, will that arb increase?

4 - If he reaches number 4 (which seems to be the limit), do I get stuck "forever" in that rom, only with the option of updating?

5 - If I flashed a rom with the arb 4, my phone bricked?

Apologies for so many questions, but I really would like to know

English is not my primary language, so let me know if you do not understand something!
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] sz.hatef:
ARB4 introduced by MIUI 10, means after it has been triggered, you will not be able to flash it back to prior versions of MIUI such as MIUI9 or so, and you will not be able to use AndroidONE (till they release a version of it, compatible with ARB4)

Thats it: just forget about prior version of MIUI 10 and AndroidONE

But you can still flash custom ROMs such as Havoc or so.

What would be happened if you try flashing MIUI 9 on a ARB4? It simply bricks, un-bricking procedure is very, depending on phone model, it could be as simple as re-flashing last stable ROM by MiFlash, or Test-Point methods, or even it could leave you with no option but sending it in a XIAOMI Service Center.

But one thing is would be very important: never ever let Bootloader of your phone be relocked after it get ARB4, since for example in my case(A2 converted to 6X) there is no way to re-unlock its BL ever again(at least in Theory), and yeah in this case your only option is stick to official MIUI ROMs and their updates(in my opinion even this is not that bad if you like MIUI)

And pay attention new version of Xiaomi.eu ROMs trigger the ARB4 definitely.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Victor Andrade:
Thanks for the quick response.

From what I understood then, any rom compatible with ARB4, can I do the installation without any problem?

Since you talked about Havoc, that I can install them normally, I assume it's because they're compatible with ARB4, right?

On the bootloader, can it automatically block, during the installation of a new update or new rom? Because I do not intend to block it again (to be honest, no smartphone I've had, I've tried to figure out how to block it), but I'd like to know if there's a possibility of it happening on its own.

I do not intend to go back to Android One, I have not even installed MIUI for 6 hours and I'm enjoying it. I'm just having a hard time putting it my way, because it's a lot of setup and I've never used it before, but I want to stay in it because I like it and not because I'm stuck, you know?

And lastly, you said that: "new version of Xiaomi.eu ROMs trigger the ARB4 definitely". In practice, what does this mean? That even if my phone arrives in ARB4, I will be able to install new versions of MIUI, to 11 for example, because they will be compatible? Or am I talking bull****?

Already forgetting, for every diver I installed, count on +1 for the ARB? If I installed a new rom (Pixel, for example), would my ARB go to 3?

"I said" a lot, but it is good to add knowledge. Thank you

English is not my primary language, so let me know if you do not understand something!
