Well, when I flashed TWRP after wiping, my phone got soft-bricked. "The system has been destroyed." I was successful with Havoc OS when I flashed the old aboot but here when I try to boot LineageOS, I get a bootloop.

---------- Post added at 05:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:38 AM ----------

Dude, flash the fastboot image (not the update image on Xiaomi's site, mind you) and try to replace the stock recovery.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ilovebytes:
if you really flashed twrp after wiping your phone thats not exactly what i did - i had twrp installed on both slot before i wiped /data and /system and then did a format data partition - then i rebootet directly into twrp recovery(no flashing here thats important as twrp can repartion the formated internal data while rebooting into twrp) and went on installing the encryptiondisabler and the lineage os rom. Maybe thats your problem.

for you and all the others that have such problems i would suggest you really go back to stock rom and start over from there again. Get Miflash and a complete fastboot rom - bring your phone in fastboot mode - check if miflash recognizes ist (otherwise get the drivers needed) and flash a stock full fastboot image with the clean all/flash_all.bat option (i always use 10.0.3.0 fastboot image)

Fastboot image: http://bigota.d.miui.com/V10.0.3.0....0.PDLMIXM_20190114.0000.00_9.0_e8d8d4a6d0.tgz

Miflash (i use version 2017.4.25.0 i think newer versions will also work but i have not testet it ) : https://www.xiaomigeek.com/download-mi-flash-tool-2017

if you try to do it again just be sure:

- your base is a pie rom (like the 10.0.3.0 stock rom)

- then boot into twrp (fastboot boot 3.3.0.0.img)

- in twrp install the 3.3.0.0.zip to have twrp on both slots

- reboot system

and from there follow the steps i already mentioned :

- boot intwo twrp 3.3.0.0 from offain

- make an advanced wipe /data and /system

- within wipe menu of twrp format data (just to be absolutely sure)

- reboot into twrp recovery (reboot menu in twrp and there choose recovery to boot directly from twrp into twrp again)

- install ForcedEncryptionDisablerDaisy (as encryption still not seem to work flawlessly)

- install lineage os rom from first post

- goto reboot menue of twrp and change slot from current one to the other one (in my case from B to A)

- reboot into twrp recovery again (now on slot A)

- install opengapps nano package and magisk 17

- reboot system

hope this helps - if not i am really sorry but i have no other idea why its working for me (with the steps i made) and why you have such problems :(

[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] magicmastermindmurks:
For me, it finally worked with going back to 10.0.3.0 via MiFlash. Different stock + auto update only created boot loops but now everything is fine. Well besides I don't have reception, but that I will figure

EDIT:

In case someone has the same problem about no reception, the official download for 10.0.3.0 was the issue. I downloaded the 10.0.2.0. and now it works. Might be region issue but the file was labeled as "global".

edit:

to all the ones with the problems, if you really bricked your phone (no fastboot mode or twrp but phone is recongized by pc when connecting via usb) you can try to recover it with testpoint method as described here in this post by voodoojonny : https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=79294720&postcount=2

Well, I flashed TWRP. "The system has been destroyed."

UPD: The TWRP works with the old aboot but when I installed LineageOS I soft-bricked my phone again.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] merlin.berlin:
after some struggle with installing everything correctly (including gapps and magisk) i finally managed it. but i also had to use the forced encryption zip otherwise twrp wouldn't work.

but now the ROM works pretty good.

overall speed is really good and everything is super snappy. stock ROM was much slower for me.

the battery seems to very good aswell but haven't tested it for long now.

camera is ok but i had to replace the stock camera with footejcamera or opencamera because it didn't really worked. (for example crashed after taking selfies)

everything else seems to be working completely fine!

in the end im really happy right now.

LOS feels like stock ROM just better because it has a little more features and not so many bugs :laugh:

thanks to everyone wo contributed to this ROM!
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] ilovebytes:
i got 64GB with 14 GB in Use on internal Memory and 31 Gb on external Sd Card - all normal as it should be (sounds like an encryption or partition problem did you flash the encryption disabler after formating internal data ? and did you reboot into recovery after formating internal data ? )

did you try to start from zero again - meaning install stock rom (10.0.3.0) via Fastboot - let it update to 10.0.0.4.0 (so you have stock rom on both slots) and then follow my list exactly step by step

if not please give it a try - if yes i am running out of ideas :(

one last thing that comes to my mind - did you ever downgrade to stock oreo after updating to pie ? because if i remember right, there are some issues then regarding partitions or vendor partition ( but i am not sure if i not just mixed up a few things here) ? and i am also not sure about what to do to get this sortet out as i never went back to oreo after updating to pie. But maybe you find something here on the forums.

[MENTION=6651513]merlin.berlin[/MENTION]

yes i am also quite happy with this rom - and if some bugs like the non working wifi calling and non working gcam would be fixed i would just be the perfect daily driver for me :fingers-crossed:

Hi

Can anyone please:

clarify:

advise:

TWRP: Offain or Dees_troy

Thanks
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] SubwayChamp:
It´s mean flash the rom, flash the TWRP installer, go to reboot menu, change slots, reboot again to TWRP and flash Gapps and Magisk if desired.

For what I see for other users and also for me TWRP from Offain works better.

[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] BenG7:
[MENTION=7644154]SubwayChamp[/MENTION]:Thanks. I plan on booting in a temporary twrp 3.3.3-1 offain version (won't be installed as no installer - my daisy is 10.0.13.0) and flash LOS; so after the flash I need to go back to twrp reboot menu and change slots but please detail as I cannot remember a change slot option - how do you do it? I won't be flashing any gapps anyway.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] SubwayChamp:
I don´t know if there is a newer version than v3.3.1-0 such what you´re mentioning (3.3.3-1) there is an image to boot to it and there is an installer zip https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=6006931924117887097

After to install the rom you have to flash the installer zip and then tap on reboot menu in TWRP and will appear the current slot where you are, i.e., if you are in the slot A you have to switch to slot B or viceversa, then this switch will take just 1 second, then tap on reboot option and tap on recovery, not to system yet, when device reboots to TWRP again then flash the disable force encryption, then flash if you want Magisk and it´s all.

twrp 3.3.1 from offain

--> error 1!

Last time I am buying a chinese phone, honestly!
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] nikoman1987:
Every phone is Chinese (even most of the Apple devices) Learn about error messages in TWRP . When you see Error 1 code -its problem with the TWRP version . The problem is not with the brand . This is an AB device with Android 1 ,it is more complicated than a usual phone. If you get another brand , but with AB partitions , it will be the same. Here we can only guide you, but you need to understand , that you need to test and test , that's what I do , same thing is with the most of the people in this site. If 3.3.3-1 offain gives you an error , use 3.3.3-1 dees_troy ,some roms are working with offain , some -with Dees_troy.Good luck!

idk if its the aroma installer problem or the ROM problem

you mean the one mounting system and UNchecking "Mount system write protected? The problem is that in my case it said wrong architecture with the arm64 installer, not that it had any writing error.

I cant try again since twrp cannot decrypt encryption without erasing data, so Ill keep it like this for now. And Id rather have it encrypted.

I can't install lineage OS on my mi a2 lite. always error's.

but not any further... always error like "error: E: recv error on uevent"

i dont have an external SD card only i copy to internal storage when i want to flash it from TWRP... and i dont understand these slots A and slot B... why is this so god damn important ?

please guide me step by step how i must do to install TWRP and install CUSTOM lineageOS 16 on my Mi a2 ite...
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] celrau:
Get inspiration from this tutorial. Regarding the slots, the idea is that you always flash the rom to the other slot. TWRP is flashed to both, custom kernel, magisk, etc., to the current slot. So after flashing a rom (plus TWRP) you change slots and boot either in TWRP for further work (custom kernel, magisk, etc.) or to system to use it.

Firstly, the new version is already 10.0.0.7.0. Secondly, I didn't upgrade and went straight away to OEM unlocking and flashing TWRP.

As I said, I didn't update to V10.0.7.0 and did exactly what you said. It didn't work. Again, without the old aboot I can't even boot into the flashed TWRP. And even with it being flashed LineageOS doesn't work after installing. Actually, nothing works after installing. Not even TWRP. It just turns off.
