I think it will not work, the Actual duty of ARB4 is to preventing you to use these things! as much as I know after ARB4 you have two options: MIUI 10 or custom ROMs such as Havoc or so, for AndroidONE we need to wait a version of AndroidONE which be compatible with ARB4! otherwise flashing STOCK AndroidONE will simply brick your phone! THE whole IDEA of this THREAT is this!

And BTW as much as I know XIAOMI.EU is cooperating now with the XIAOMI ! besides we do not keep a phone for a whole life time, 2-3 years of supports would be far enough. and they do offer it right now!

and I would like to lock the BL for further security reasons but it seems to be impossible so far otherwise someone suggests a practical way for it. :)

Mi A2 & Mi 6X
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] sz.hatef:
Just as I said, I would like to know the possible ways, currently I haven't any problem, could you explain it a bit , how could it possible to reunlock my BL if it get locked on MIUI?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Letzen:
ahem.

There is NO way to unlock an A2 device that has been converted to an 6X with ARB anti 4.

Your bootloaders are important in this case (xbl.elf and abl.elf). ARB and bootloader status is also managed here.

If you are using A2, with 6X system without ARB anti 4, that phone uses A2 bootloader. So if you lock your bootloader, it will brick to fastboot (The system has been destroyed / Press any key to shutdown). EDL will still accept any flashes without authentication. You may or may not be able to unlock it again through fastboot.

If you are using A2, with 6X system and firmware with ARB anti 4, that phone uses 6X bootloader. So if you lock your bootloader, it will brick to fastboot (The system has been destroyed / Press any key to shutdown). EDL will not accept any flashes without authentication*. You cannot unlock the phone through fastboot**.

*There is a workaround to this but you need to open your phone's back.

**Because MIUI devices need Mi Unlock to be unlocked, and Mi Unlock wants you to log in, and the system is not accessible, your phone will stay bricked.

You can still unbrick the phone with the above workaround, but you will be stuck with China MIUI and won't be able to unlock your phone's bootloader even if you logged in because your phone is not registered on Mi Unlock database (since Android One devices do not need/use Mi Unlock because of Google's enforcements).

Too long, didn't read?

Do not attempt to lock your phone. Even if you are on fully stock with your phone's own firmware. Locking is extremely risky due to the fact that even unlocking the bootloader corrupts the system integrity in some way.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] sz.hatef:
Thanks a lot, it explains everything and totally sounds right to me,

Just couple questions:

so in any circumstances it could be again usable just with a Chinese ROM, and so there will be no way to install Google Play on it, since there will be no custom recovery , no root accessibility , ... , It will be for ever with a Pure Chinese ROM (which practically would be unusable for us). Am I right?

Considering above situation, sending the device to a Xiaomi Center could help us to get back to any kind of global ROM (AndroidONE / MIUI) or not?

Right now I am totally happy with Xiaomi.eu MIUI BETA roms, no need to switch to other projects, I need to know is there any chance to stuck with a locked BL while attempting the new Beta ROMs? I use PitchBlack to flash new ROMs every week. Or if I want to ask it in short: How to prevent to get a Locked BL?

Thanks a lot again.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] amirhashim:
does flashing a MIUI.eu beta ROM without deleting the firmware folder lock the bootloader ?

what's the benefit from not deleting the firmware folder?

i'm using a converted MI A2

thanks
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] sz.hatef:
Yeah, new ROMs from MIUI.EU will activate the ARB 4.

they leave Firmware Folder intact in the ROM Image intentionally due to the problems that will encounter if they remove it (e.g. Camera Problem )

AFAIK, there is NO benefit, but removing it has side effects (mostly Camera Malfunctioning)
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] demonoidmaster:
Always remove the folder, don't let that Xiaomi made padlocking bs onto your phone

Even IF the outcome is the camera app doesn't behave well, so what? There's other amazing camera apps out there, the oneplus camera app for example is compatible with the A2/6X

---------- Post added at 08:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:14 AM ----------

As for you OP, ARB is Xiaomi made malware intended for the phones with MIUI which is meant to only be on their own phones in China, which is them making sure you can only use MIUI , can't roll back the firmware or flash another rom, because once your bootloader get relocked your device is done for unless you get very finicky with it but even if you get it to work again you'll still be stuck with MIUI without the possibility of flashing anything else ever again (except newer versions of MIUI) like another user said

In short: stop ****ing around with what isn't broken, either stick to AndroidONE stock Android or use a custom rom or get MIUI from .eu and keep your device unlocked
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] sz.hatef:
Yeah preventing the BL to be relocked is crucial, but I am sure there is way/s to be secured of not relocking it again.

BTW, even if it locked, wouldn't that bad, if you already happy with MIUI. you know what, I have a Lenovo phone either which I used to run the MIUI on it, so sticking to MIUI wouldn't be a nightmare for me. :)
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Letzen:
Anti Rollback Protection is developed by Google for Android bootloaders so that the phones cannot be downgraded to a vulnerable version of Android. The only problem is that Xiaomi's ARB system does not get disabled even after you unlock.

It has nearly no effect if your phone is actually 6X if you don't try to downgrade to an "anti 3" or lower firmware (MiFlash will refuse to flash it anyway).

Newer firmwares have better drivers in the lowest levels of the system. That's why severe changes happen and problems like camera and modem occur.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] demonoidmaster:
Googles ARB and Xiaomis ARB aren't the same, Googles isn't restrictive while Xiaomis modified ARB implementation is what's the problem, they lock your device into their ecosystem (if you're running miui or want to revert)

If you trigger ARB you'll only be able to flash custom roms or miui as long as it's the same revision number (say you go from this weeks miui 10 to yesterdays update due to issues but you can't go from miui 10 to 9 etc)

So I've receive a news about Game Turbo being a standalone app in the latest MIUI latest Beta. I don't know if it is possible to port it from MIUI to any AOSP/CAF based ROMS. Maybe if someone can pull this out, it would change the gaming way of Pocophone on AOSP/CAF.

If you think its pointless since maybe Game Turbo will give problems to AOSP/CAF, tell me your thoughts.

A more useful thing to say would be, ' I wish edge lighting could be customised on a per app basis and show be useful for more situations such as if screen recording flash around edge of the device red or something to show you that you are recording with your device or camera or whatever, or they could use the notch LED ring to do something like this.

Even with aod always on, edge light set to always, edgelight+, notifications enabled. If I get a message on hangouts for example, the little icon appears on the aod screen but edge lighting does diddly. Same for the other non Samsung apps I've tried, not that there have been many I've tried thus far.

Now if I happen to have the phone unlocked and happen to be looking at hangouts and receive a message, edge lighting works as expected... but if I'm already staring at the app it kinda makes it pointless.

Odd, are you guys using the Snapdragon chip or Exynos?

I have the international Exynos in mine and for most apps, I have tried, stock message app etc it lights up fine when AOD and screens off.

That is the whole point of Edge lighting I thought, as to why do I care about a flashing phone if I am looking at it.

The fullscreen app, hmmm I honestly don't know I launch my games through Samsungs Game Launcher as to not have to worry about the micromanagement of the device settings to hide notifications and other annoyances.

I'm pretty sure edge lighting worked properly with the stock messaging app, but it's been a couple of days since I've sms'd anyone so can't verify at the moment. Other programs, not so much luck.

---------- Post added at 09:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:55 PM ----------

Gotta say too, it seems like when the edge lighting does blink to notify it only really does so the once... at least from what I've seen while using hangouts. No repeat blinking that I recall noticing. So unless you're looking at the phone when it blinks, you wouldn't know.

I found a setting somewhere for message reminders, but not a lot of customizability that I saw. Didn't keep it enabled long because I'm pretty sure it just made my phone beep without triggering the edge light anyway.
