You can use e.g SystemPanel app. However I am in a situation that after phone runs for a day or so, battery drops quickly and phone is not able to identify the source. So before it is -0.7%/h, then it starts to -3%/h.

If you have constantly a high consumption, check first if your processer is stuck at a frequency or is not going to deep sleep. This error is in the Mi2 firmware, after you use quick charge or goodix fingerprint reader and only partially fixed. Then check for which app is waking up phone and doing geolocation in background.

Help on 15 with boolups

Hello everyone, seems my wife phone updated to october patch 15. now when the phone rebootsit gets stuck in bootloop.

With some luck after a long time plugging power cord in and out etc, waiting on battery % signal then you can start it up.

I understand that ppl on version 14 (september update) who were unable to install version 15 got version 16 which solves the bootloop.

Now i was wondering how about those who are onV 15 and have bootloops, keeping the phone constantly on .now..

Anyone a solution ?

Did anyone on 15 receive an ota for 16?

Kind regards,

chris

I'm on 15 but no 16 build
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] ReallyUgly:
I managed to get the pictures of the phone. So i thought hell why not restart the phone..

Regretted directly got bootloop screen flashing android one screen on / off with charger cable plugged in. When u remove the cable it shuts. Although the battery was 100% full the phone did not want to start at all without a charger cable connected. Took me again 10 - 15 minutes to get it back on.

i always remove the sim (why i have no clue) but for me it only worked without sim card

Then i restart phone (have no idea how often) but latest try i was connected to laptop and searched through device manager for changes. This gave me the screen that the battery was charging !

If you get that then you can press power on and startup will be normal. It seems its hanging on some check in beginning.

This Mi A2 is on oktober version 15 and seems that update from 14 to 15 went ok? (i really do not know since its not my phone) but 15 is really ****ed ! Do not get why an update for 14 to 16 is avialable but for 15 to 16 nothing can be done.

Hope next month an update comes which resolve this problem otherwise i will be EDL and flashing and opening up a phone. pFF i give up, my advice to all with 15 version make sure you don't turn off your phone! :confused::crying::crying:

You have to wait a month to fix every time they created any fault
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Chrisdclsd:
Pfff a month. So the phone is stock non modified and they brick it and now i need to wait a month for their fault...never again xiaomi!!!!
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Baron60:
They fixed it in the second October update
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Chrisdclsd:
No they did not solve it for all mi a2. To explaind users who received october update but where not able stayed on version 10.0.14 then they received ota for version 10.0.0.16.

Others at who the update was installed (me) did not receive version 16. According to my update log it seems i have it since 5 th oktober. And to put it this way since last week (don't ask me why) i get bootloop if the phone is turned off..

In short i did not receive version 16 and have a smoking gun as phone...?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] bluishguru:
You are lucky your phone came up from a bootloop. I had to pay Xiaomi to get back my bricked phone with total loss of data. They did not even recover it from my back up.

stuck between step 3 and step 4

Hello Aerobatic, I've followed your guide however I seem to be stuck between step 3 after the OTA downloads and completing the installation. The update downloads then fails to install but doesn't indicate why.

My device is rooted and had Magisk Manager (v4.0.7) installed prior to attempting any of this. I launched Magisk Manager then pressed "Uninstall" (since I wasn't able to find any reference anywhere to "Delete Magisk" that you had referenced. Pressing that led to another screen where I pressed "Restore Images" instead of "Restore Partitions" that you had referenced. Do these two tasks I performed follow the same intent that you indicated? If not I'm at a loss of where or how to press the same buttons in your reference.

If what I have done is correct, then I'm stuck at the OTA-2019-OCT failing to install. Later it's stuck in the loop where it wants to download the OTA update again and afterward attempts to reinstall it.

Any ideas? Do I need to wipe everything and start over with a clean install?

Edit 1: I've restored the OTA boot.img from *14*, that didn't work. I've uninstalled Magisk Manager, that didn't work, rebooted several times, no luck so far... puzzled.

Edit 2: Perhaps one thing... The version of Magisk Manager originally installed OTA-*13* boot.img, then later OTA-*14* boot.img is different than the version installed when I uninstalled Magisk, then uninstalled Magisk Manager.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] Aerobatic:
I assume 7.4.0...

Sorry, in quited message MagiskManager commands were given in backwards translation from localized version texts. Your steps are correct (if you have previously made a copy of previous stock boot image using step (5))

1st of all, note that there were two October, 5th OTA updates: 10.0.14.0 -> 10.0.15.0, - which was withdrawn as too buggy, - and later 10.0.14.0 -> 10.0.16.0. Both were noted to not Install, while the 1st one was also noted to bring bootloop on many devices. Also note that having root you could occasionally tamper /boot and/or /system partitions, or that other undocumented partition field in phone could have changed.

IMHO, no, you do not need to wipe everything. Some people reported that booting into TWRP and wiping DalvikCache and Cache only helped them to install OTA (others came to conclusion that simply booting into TWRP prevented them to install next OTA, he-he).

If this does not help, you can still reflash stock fastboot image 10.0.13.0 (using "flash_all_except_data.bat", thus preserving /data) and then accurately take 10.0.13.0 -> 10.0.14.0 and 10.0.14.0 -> 10.0.16.0 OTAs, or you can even try to flash unofficial fastboot repacks of 10.0.14.0 and even 10.0.16.0 in same way.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] nadia p.:
Magisk Manager 7.4.0, correct, my apologies. Yesterday was one of those days.

Thank you for your explanation, it helps very much. I have disabled automatic updates and found it very odd that last week there was a notification to inform me that OTA update failed. I assumed this may have occurred after several Play Store updates that may have required the OTA update to be installed. The System Updates never use to nag be before then. My device was updated to *14* from a while ago when you were so kind to help me. I can't tell which version of OTA update it's trying to install and fails, all it says is October 2019 and it's size is 92.3 MB. I presume this to be *16*.

Based on your recommendation I think I'll revert back to *13* by wiping the device and doing a fresh install. I'm wondering if there was some sort of malware or something that may have gotten onto my Mi A2 which is causing the OTA update to occur, when it shouldn't with system updates under developer disabled.

I can't thank you enough for your help, you're invaluable!

There was no official fastboot ROM for this OTA version. Boot images can be found in corresponding thread: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=80262653&postcount=5 (search works).

Wow, that's weird, but it can't be Xiaomi fault, cause the OTA is ok and working fine
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Labestiajaker:
Wifi
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] laviniu_c:
i disagree. they are at fault. no ota should brick stock phones. ever. this has happend before on other phones too (mi 9se being the latest one i've seen). some users would update properly and some would just end up with nice and expensive paperweights. via ota. if i was a betting man, i would assume this is related to the version of the bootloader on the phone. and sometime they miss something on the ota update. causing certain versions of the bootloaders to reject the update. but i dont have any expertise here, im just an average joe with a phone that failed an OTA miserably. perhaps just restarting it a couple of times also is enough, but i resurrected mine with the fastboot continue i had found earlier.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] N1ck474:
I can understand but, if my untouched phone just got an OTA and successfully installed it, the update should be ok, idk why some phones have this type of problem but it's not normal, maybe an old mod? A restored partition after a ROM install? Idk, but i can say that: the OTA is ok on my stock phone, the problem should be something else...

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Aerobatic:
Those who "soft-bricked with OTA" : Just keep trying to reboot many times with external power on and pauses. Sooner or later phone is to reboot to now (after OTA) inactive slot (read about A/B structure if you do not know what i mean) with the previous bootable version (10.0.14.0 ? or any which was there before OTA), - as such behavior is specified in AndroidOne requirements.

I have a problem too.

My device has hung up and no longer turns on.

Already did installation by test point and also could not revive it.

I put older version of Android and Nova and it still didn't work.

my device was in this version 10.0.13.0.PDIMIXM, I think there was some after this q gave error.

So far no correction.

=========================

tambem estou com problema.

Meu aparelho desligou e não liga mais.

Ja fiz instalação por test point e tambem não consegui reviver ele.

Coloquei versão mais velha do Android e Nova e mesmo assim não deu certo.

meu aparelho estava nessa versão 10.0.13.0.PDIMIXM, acho que teve alguma depois dessa q deu erro.

Ate agora nenhuma correção.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Aerobatic:
Please note that official language of this forum is English.

If you have unlocked "bootloader AND critical" while going through "test-point" procedure, just reflash stock 10.0.13.0 fastboot ROM image via fastboot (using "flash_all_except_data.bat" or "flash_all.bat").

If you have not unlocked phone, but have "developer status" and have "OEM unlock" Enabled and have "USB debugging" Enabled, then switch phone to fastboot mode, unlock bootloader and critical, and reflash stock 10.0.13.0 fastboot ROM image via fastboot.

Otherwise you are to go again through "test-point" procedure, now accurately.

October Update Problem

same happened to me, my phone was stock, no custom change, received the last updates fine. But the October update almost bricked my phone, I tried twice, first time the update did not take place and the phone restarted after 20 mins, and in the second time it took almost 1 hour, trying so many things, but nothing actually worked. I even tried the adb fastbook continue, and it did not work for me. Tried to restart 20 30 times and all on a sudden it worked. I think the update is faulty.

For safety of future update, I kept the bootloader unlock after the update, I do not know what may happen later. Xiaomi should release proper OTA update.

maybe wait a couple more days, or if you feel lucky just do it!

mine got stuck on first install - had to do the fastboot continue. but worked on second. so far just one report completely stuck even after the adb command and a lot of users reporting no problem + a few that got it unstuck just be restarts, plug usb.

i'll do say battery life is much much better on the new version!

Hello, if you want to update well, uncheck in the developer options, OEM unlock and USB debugging and if it is also automatic updates, so the October OTA installs well.

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Aerobatic:
Try to reboot and continue installation immediately after that.

If that does not help, your phone is actually tampered, and in that case I'd:

1) re-check that both bootloader and critical partitions are unlocked,

2) then made copy of /data in TWRP (booting into it in fastboot mode) and saved it to PC

3) then reflashed last official 10.0.13.0 in fastboot using "flash_all_except_data.bat"

4) then got OTAs 13->14 and 14->16
