OK, I downloaded those files and tried again ( I was able to boot into edl by using fastboot). I then got an authentication failed error from the MiFlash software. I didn't open the back of the phone to short the pins as it is too difficult - was this really required or just required in order to boot to edl?

[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] _mysiak_:
Make sure that you don't have another, older fastboot in Windows paths as it has higher priority when calling fastboot executable from CMD. The usual culprit is long forgotten minimal ADB installation.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] delzep:
That has solved it! I had some older version tucked away in windows that was probably the problem but my phone is now working again

Any word on V10.3.13.0.PFQEUXM? (i.e. the EU december security patch ROM?)
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] NeatWolf:
---------- Post added at 10:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:27 PM ----------

I've just found one on a russian forum, and I'm risking myself, I will share if... wifi and antenna are going to work again.

I purchased the A3 on amazon, thinking it was global (so it was said in the description), and I accidentally flashed the global onto the eu. everything's working but the Wifi MAC address (reset to 02:00:00.....) and receiving/making calls.

I'm hoping that flashing back the .13 eu system it's going to solve the issue T_T

I do NOT recommend or guarantee to use these ones:

boot_V10.3.13.0.PFQEUXM

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zPEO_OebUzPVwcHQvrY0ZjZ-jd3oIzRK/view

payload_V10.3.13.0.PFQEUXM

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sQNnECmUT-h-39q03ci7PxzOSC-Z1mLQ/view

again, use these at your own risk!

EDIT:

Yay! My Wifi and Antenna are back! :D

Now I'd need a modded one :P

Again: use the above boot.img and rom dump at your own risk!

EDIT:

done.

Works for me.

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

wifi not working

Hello, i installed TWRP got Magisk and Root permissions. Everything is good but I cannot use wifi, so my phone is unusable.

I am sure i need to do something with the boot.img, so my question is: where can i find the boot.img file compatible with my firmware version? In OP are only ROMs, can i take the boot.img from the zip file of the ROM i am running? Can i flash it directly from TWRP?

Thanks in advance
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] barth2:
Yeah you can just extract boot.img from the tgz of the ROM. But make absolutely sure it matches the ROM your system is running!
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] edwjusti:
Dumb question. But how do I know if my device is European or Global? I flashed a custom rom over the stock rom but I didn't save the stock rom info and now I am clueless about the proper rom for this device. My model number is: m1906f9sh
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] garylawwd:
The only difference is firmware. The devices are the exact same as far as I know. I bought the device with global firmware but put eu firmware on it and it's absolutely perfect.

ROMs for this device are not firmware specific ie you can flash any ROMs on either of the 2 stock firmwares
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] edwjusti:
Ah I see, so there are not any risks of hard bricking my device if I flash and lock with either one of them? I wanted to relock my bootloader.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] garylawwd:
Yes that is correct.

The only thing you have to make sure of is that you are flashing stock firmware with miflash on SLOT A. If you are on slot b and try to flash stock through miflash then you will brick the device
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] edwjusti:
Oh great, thanks for the info! I am currently running the global version flashed using the instructions in this thread. I'll keep an eye on the active slot while I reflash and lock.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] limeswift:
Do I have to use miflash or can I just use the .bat / .sh files? And does the lock flash option relock the bootloader?
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Typhus_:
You can just use the bat or the sh (if using Linux).

The files with "lock" on their names will perform a relock on the device.

Can I flash this if I currently have bootloop into fastboot? (my phone wont boot into recovery nor system)

If I flash this I'm suppose to get the stock OS back, right?
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jhon_Locke:
Thank you, will get into this as soon as I can.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jhon_Locke:
OK, don't mind me, I'm a moron lol, I forgot to put the fastboot and its libraries into the folder the bat is.

But I did got this:

fastboot flash vendor_a "\Downloads\laurel_sprout_global_images_V10.3.13.0.PFQMIXM_9.0\images\vendor.img" ||

Sending 'vendor_a' (816716 KB) FAILED (remote: 'Requested download size is more than max allowed

')

fastboot: error: Command failed

"Flash vendor_a error"

EDIT: OK, I managed to complete all the flashing but now I got the Android Recovery screen warning that the user data is corrupted and I got two options, try again or format data, if I choose format data I'm presented with a bootloop with the Android One logo (at least now it doesn't bootloops into fastboot), what I'm doing wrong?

What I'm able to do is flash a custom recovery (I flashed OrangeFox Recovery and it booted to recovery OK but it keeps saying that there is an error with the vendor partition, tried restore the vendor backup I have but it says that the vendor partition is read only).

EDIT #100: I reflashed manually the vendor img and now the recovery doesn't warn about any error so I would say it is now OK?

EDIT #101: OK, I got it working now, after flashing all this package, manually flashing the vendor img because fastboot refused to flash them with the bat, flashing custom recovery and flashin Havoc now it boots OK. Thanks.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] batata004:
I managed to discover how to make this work, and it worked perfectly exeucintg the bat flash all file. My smartphone turned on and is working fine.

[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] batata004:
You seen too optimistic, that's good! However I am since October hearing Xiaomi saying "next month" the release will be sent. It's been 3 times already, and nothing. Also, a user recently at Twitter compained to Xiaomi and they said that at early march it would end beta. BTW, nobody knows anyone who got beta, so it's probably that not even beta was already launched.

Oh my bad. I just saw that hd option is available. Looking at developer options and doing more test i found that the best I can have now is a better SBC using Poweramp experimental hi res which can use 24bit/48khz(it is a good improvement compared with default output. I always use as default but never worked on android 9), but it works just right after pairing. I need to disconnect and pair again to use poweramp hi res if I disconnect ine time. I will fill a bug report and hope Xiaomi fix that in the future.

It's a little better than android 9.

No distortion yet, maybe I am having luck with that.

I will do more tests with other apps if I have more time in the next days.
