Thank you for confirmation. I will test and if sth is wrong after some time, I will write here.

I asked becouse I had such issue that phone made me surprise and after once factory reset (Android 9) I didn't manage to turn off automatic updates... so it updated to first build of Android 10. I wanted to downgrade to Android 9 but phone bricked, so I used prodcedure I found, to flash by Pixel OS for Mi A3 and then I managed to stay with Android 10 :)

With next builds I updated with Fastboot, BUT i noticed (veryyy rare comparing to my Redmi 5 in the past) FREEZES and bluetooth module disabling & sometimes worse GSM range... which was not present before. But maybe these were Android 10 issues, who knows.

Hello, I am trying to flash_all.sh on crosh. (chromebook) All goes well even executing the script works because I can see when I use the ls -l command I can see something's changed... But when I get to ./flash_all.sh, I get permission denied. When I use sudo ./flash_all.sh, I get, sudo: unable to execute ./flash_all.sh: Permission denied.

Could anyone here know what the issue would be? Or am I doing it wrong? How does one flash fastboot ROMs on a chromebook?
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Typhus_:
Maybe you need to give execution permissions to the script first.

Try to run:

sudo chmod +x flash_all.sh

Afterwards check if you're able to run it.

I don't find any site with latest global stock for mia3. Any idea where i can download it? Also the sites in first post are outdated.

Another question... In these sites the stock rom for mia3 is called "miui for laurel sprout". I suppose is a mistake... Or really exist an official miui for our pgone???
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Typhus_:
No, there is no official MiUI for Mi A3.

The sites are outdated since Android 11 OTA bricked the devices....

There isn't a full fastboot for latest global shared here. There's only 12.0.6.0 OTA zip that can be sideloaded through stock recovery. That has been shared a few posts behind.

I've flashed laurel_sprout_global_images_V12.0.2.0.RFQMIXM_11.0 over A10 firmware. Active slot was a. Flashed all without any errors and rebooted. Stuck at android one logo a bit and then shutted itself off. now it's bricked. what might be gone wrong? and anyway to recover without sending to service?
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Typhus_:
That was the version that bricked all devices. You should look here, on XDA, for the guide on how to recover from brick.

[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] tomiasx22:
OK going back to this discussion, I switched to Global Fastboot (with flash_all) and then updated in system to 12.0.7.0.

Fingerprint don't work at all - that is what I noticed.

Another thing are NOTIFICATION ICONS - generally icons appears in top bar BUT - as I read on other threads that is feature of Android 11 that MEDIA APP icons don't appear but only as you swipe down the bar, they are as strips with navigation (as on my screen)

There is weak point of it, and I can't believe how Google could to that in such way in latest Android...

E.g. I open 2 or 3 music apps (radio, music player) and cannot see which of them is still opened (after swiping down I have to swipe left to see if other apps are opened)

AND the most important - with even the latest builds of music apps (with Android 11 support) there is lack of STOP/CLOSE button in this app navigation bars!!! That was present in Android 10.

This means I have to first click and open app to full screen to close it... what is more not all the apps have option "close" in menu.

In PlayerPRO (Shawn Mendes :) ) you can see that after swiping down once again (that is also not so comfortable) I can see STOP button, but in RADIO app there is no STOP/or X close button even after swiping 2x down.

My question is:

1. Are there any external apps (if so which would you recommend so that it doesn't drain battery too much) that could manage icons in top navigation bar? To choose which I would really like to see and which not to see there.

2. Do you think Google will fix it in next builds (restore icons or fix STOP/CLOSE button in navigation bar of music apps)

3. Is that what you can also see that fingerprint doesn't work in latest build of Global rom?

4. I noticed that on my car audio (Ford Focus, sync 2.5, latest firmware) it started to switch from bluetooth to phone after 3-4 minutes of talk - that begun since upgrading to Android 11. Is there any solution? - I mean I connect only by bluetooth, not when connecting to USB Android Auto.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Typhus_:
It should work. Something is wrong with your device. Either try again to flash everything from scratch without recovering any backup (Google included) or there's definitely something wrong there.

1 - Don't know.

2 - Can't you just swipe the media control section after a song is paused? At my end I do that to close the media app....isn't it working at your end?

3 - Fingerprint works fine. Do you really think that I would state "My device is running stock Android 11 without a single hiccup, bug or whatever."

IF I had fingerprint issues

!!!???

4 - Don't know. Also didn't faced that issue...like never.

Cheers!

For me, on a clean install, I have to boot the device and set it up first and then I can flash the magisk.img.

If I try to flash before setting the device up I get reboots.

I have a question: does anti-rollback lock also apply for minor versions? Can I fastboot flash the 12.0.3.0 ROM on my device which is updated to 12.0.5.0?
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Typhus_:
There's no anti-rollback. You can flash through fastboot any version.

The only problem that there is currently, is if you're on Android 11 and flash Android 10 or 9 through fastboot. Your device will brick.

Flashing any Android 11 through fastboot is not problematic (unless if you flash 12.0.2

0...that one will also brick the device).
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] maluus:
Thanks. That's what I call anti-rollback though. Btw did you try it?

Ok. Thanks again.

[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] maluus:
Although nearly 15 yeras now I ve been using android phones with custom roms this is the first one with A/B thingie and I still found myself noob in this area and preferred to use bat file. I'm still not sure but if I understood correctly when you flash through fastboot it's flashed to the active slot, if you flash through recovery it's flashed to the other slot. But not sure what happens when to use reboot and when to continue boot.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] wetito:

Hi, would you help me with a problem with OTAs?

I tried following this guide https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/ota.html that I found on this thread to try installing the December Security Updates OTA (Android 10, EU build) but it doesn't work. After "Restoring Images" on Magisk, I try applying the OTA normally but it gives me "Installation problem" as it would when I have normal root.

Now, I don't want to restart because I might lose Magisk, is there any solution for that?

P.s. I'm on EU V11.0.10.0
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] wetito:

[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Typhus_:

I've explained HERE the procedure I always preform when a new OTA arrives. Been using that exact procedure since August 2019 and it never failed.

I guess you can just do the exact same thing.

Hope it helps.

Ok thanks, I've just followed your guide and everything works fine.

Though, have you ever heard about the v11.0.13.0.QFQEUXM version? It doesn't seem to be anywhere online, but I have it lol.

After updating to this one, my phone found another update of 1.4 gb, but it doesn't talk about Android 11. Should I try and install it and see if it's still Android 10 or not?

I don't want to go on Android 11 just because I want to keep the TWRP installed.

I attach the screenshot of what I just said

To flash the ROM through fastboot you use your PC with the phone connected to it through USB.

Hello... did you get an answer to your request? I am in the same situation and would like the same info about moving to stock A11 from a custom A10 ROM, in my case stable MIUI which I really like, but I would prefer to go back to stock and I have never used the MIUI flash tool... so a detailed guide would help. TIA

PS: yes, I did see the OP and instructions there. However, I am not sure if there are any "gotchas" to watch for with coming back from a custom ROM like MIUI 12, etc. Also, I am unlocked, rooted, and currently use SHRP 3.1 for recovery. ;)
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] wetito:
To move from custom a11 to stock a 11 the procedure id simply. Download fastboot rom. Put the phone in fastboot mode and flash with miflash (or with the script provided in this thread). I think the procedure is the same with custom aosp a10. But for miui i think can be a little bit more diffucult. I suppose you have make the conversion tu cce9. So... My adwice is: reconvert to a10 stock. I suggest you to use miflash. And i think u must be in edl mode. After simply update to a11. I think flash directly a11 without reconversion could brick the phone
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] rgnicholas:
Thank you for the input. Actually, when I was using MIUI, it was the normal MIA3 version, I did not switch to the newer "CC9e Conversion" So, I have at the stock A10 now... a ROM that I downloaded from here.

I have never used the MIflash tool, but it should be easy enough to use. I had another person tell me that I could simply flash the LOS recovery and then flash the stock A11 in recovery. Do you know or have heard about whether this will work without bricking the phone?
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] wetito:
It's better miflash
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] rgnicholas:
Thanks again for the input. I used the MiFalsh tool and it was very simple. I did leave the phone unlocked though. Now, I will just have to get used to the new version and pronbably flash a custom recovery. I hope a version of TWRP comes about.
