[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] m4RinKo2:
They surely don't have as much income from Android One opposed to MIUI, which is their brand. Of course they are not working as hard on it and the teams working on MIUI are definitely bigger. The number of phones that got Q is really handful compared to Xiaomi's lineup and those that did got an update, cost a lot more than this device. THAT is whole point.

And I repeat, no one said, not Google nor Xiaomi, that Android One updates are faster.

Name me a midrange phone that got Q? Galaxy A50... nope?
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] zenkhas:
Well, I'm not sure about mid-range devices which have received Android 10 update, but If you go to Android One's website, their title says "Secure, up-to-date and easy to use", but unfortunately our devices have been outdated for quite a while now. Simple.

But yes, we can't do anything but to wait.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] _mysiak_:
Outdated? We have patch from 5th December and we're in the middle of January. Sounds pretty up-to- date to me. Don't confuse the latest Android version with the latest security patch - Android One is primarily about monthly security updates. 2 Android version upgrades are a nice bonus, but with no guaranteed time frame when is it going to be received.

[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] MarcusMario0605:
Xiaomi never said it will release faster update, they just said Android One provides a simple, clean UI, providing 2 yrs of software update and 3 yrs of security update only.

If they had no interest on A series phone then why they joined Android One program and manufacturing a widely successful Mi A1 in the first place? They put priority to MIUI phones because MIUI has ads in it, Xiaomi makes money from them, whereas Android One, Xiaomi didn't make any money at all. Then why they keep making Android One phones? Just because users love clean Android, that is something you can't beat with.

For your opinion must waiting on september.few days befor release android 11.

This is not android one my friend is meizu rom.

The most of miui took android 10 and xiaomi forget the vanila android.

This is the truth.

Is the last time buy xiaomi smartphone.never i will buy again this brand.

I have delete until now 3 brands.

Apple motorola xiaomi.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] barth2:
This phone has easy to unlock the boot loader and a bunch of custom ROMs. Go over to the other forums for other phones. It's crickets on the dev side.

Clean Android: good. If mi 9 had it I would jump on one. A month or two delay over the life of the phone is not a huge deal.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] emrezkan18:
I have used 2 Android One phones recently. And they were soo cheap phones. Now I have the Mi A3 and this phone is more expensive than the others. (In Android One category)

And these phones updated very fast. Beta tests begin 1 week after the beta release for Pixel phones. So Android One program means an early update to me. If the update will be late why did I bought this phone?

But there is a point to mention. Another android one phone that I have purchased at the same time with A3, didn't receive Android 10 eighter. There could be a problem with the Google maybe?
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lalitchauhan2013:
i agree with you friend but please explain why A2 got update before A3?

---------- Post added at 11:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:21 AM ----------

And in your first point there was a promise, refer to mannu jain tweet. What is the meaning of "One of the first few device" if 2 year old nokia phone got an update, and Samsung cheap phone also received it and motorola too. Then what is the meaning of that tweet, please explain it too sir.

[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] MarcusMario0605:
It’s just a typical way of thinking of those who had very few or even no knowledge about how programming and the software development process works…

Keep dumping pressure to devs only makes things worse.

It's like torque down the wheel nuts without even using a proper torque wrench; imagine if a guy was hurrying tightening down the nuts by bare hands. The wheels nuts can be loosened up and fall off the car! How safe would that be? Same applies for software development, if they rushed for an update, it can be buggy as hell, who knows!

So “Patience” is definitely the key, I had the same experience with A2 last year, where people just kept begging for Android 9 update. Xiaomi rushed, and pushes out buggy update like battery drain, inconsistent UI, and more severe, bootloop in its Jan update. Now, A2 got android 10 update doesn't mean it is better, it can have bugs like UI, bluetooth, slow charging bugs. It's a last major software update for A2, Xiaomi can rush the update, can't they? I know in Xiaomi website it said "Android one provides up-to-date software experience", but there's the fact that nothing is absolute. The update can be delayed for whatever reason.

The A3 is a cheap, budget, yet mid-range phone and people still want to interpret it as a “flagship” phone. Although this is an Android One phone, Xiaomi still need to fix bugs and add their own custom features. That would generally take some times for the completion, that doesn’t even count for fixing various bugs. Even though Motorola, Nokia phones get Android 10, it’s just depends on certain devs. They can be more productive than us.

Even more surprising, when Xiaomi india replied a tweet at twitter saying that android 10 will arrive on mid-Feb. People are screwed... they f**k Xiaomi and said that they won’t buy their phone again. Well, I feel quite miserable on why are people so impatient and complaining so much, seriously.

That is all I want to say, and I don’t want to dump any more time in this weird tragedy. If you disagree with me, feel free to blame, swear, or report to me. But the Fact that 'the arrival of Android 10 has no exact date' is going to Never change! So please, stop complaining about the update.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] woOtSalami:
Thanks Captain!

Thank you for this Post! got already tired of people complaining about a good, cheap phone whose dev's are taking care of a bug free release first instead of rushing things. The A3 is working purrrfeect for what you pay <3
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] eisz:
From my point of view thinking of that mi A3 has some type of priority is as foolish as of believing that this extra time (Chinese New year) will mean a more polished and refined rom.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] L1p1c1:
I think someone should learn what Android One means before starting to make a thread.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] barrack1:
Thats completely untrue. Xiaomi have made alluded to faster android upgrades for their Android One phones. And sometimes even made direct statements on that issue - one statement was from Manu (India's VP) saying "Mi A3 is going to be one of the first few devices to get Android Q".

After all the hype about faster updates from their fanbase, now you've amazingly said Xiaomi never promised anything at all! How very Trumpian of you.

And now you've made some more incredible statements like Xiaomi is only producing Android one phones because they have to, not because they actually want to, and Xiaomi don't make any money at all on these phones. No facts, no figures, just an outright assertion.

Customs roms are nice but it has no bearing on this issue. These roms are generally not vetted, tested, checked to see if they are stable and free from malware.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] BiLLuMaMa:
Bro, would like to disagree with you here. If in the end we have to choose a custom rom, then why would I buy an Android One device. I could simply buy a MiUI based Xiaomi device and simply install custom rom (Probably that's what the Xiaomi wants). The other reason people prefer Android One device is to get rid of complications a custom rom develop.

Secondly, there's no hiding away from the fact that update is delayed for whatever reason may it be. Both the parties are at fault, I agree lots of people are baby shouting about Android 10 but the fact is and will be is that the update has been delayed. And for this no one is blaming developers. I always respect the developers. They work behind the scenes without getting applaused. But the anger of people is over Xiaomi not the developers. The fact is people showing here as if they care for developrs are actually diverting the company's fault to developrs. Xiaomi aren't focusing on Android One with majority of developers assigned to MiUI. And this device is not the one which has been sold less. This is one of the best selling phones. It offering a lot at this price.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] n2droid:
Typical non-committal language - just consider how many vendors and devices are out there - if the Mi A3 gets Android 10 in March 2020, it might very well be part of the "first few devices". In short, there is no reason to assume Mr. Manu wasn't being truthful at the time of tweeting this (back in Aug 2019). That is what he was led to believe then.

Xiaomi should be a bit more open about the roadmap/update progress, to ease everyone's mind.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Simran62:
This will never end, even on the update arrival, then people will complain about the update that xiaomi took this long to deliver and now this and that is not good ??

[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Abujaherbadal:
I am more annoyed about monthly security updates than Android 10. I bought the phone in late September and October security patch arrived on 5th October. Then, November Patch was delayed to 11th/12th Nov and December Patch was delayed to 15th/16th Dec. And still no sight of January Patch. They are delaying 10, but why delay monthly security updates. October was quick, why can't the other ones be quick too??
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] TiagOverminD:
the best will be to wait for the '' one 10 '' and almost practically come with clean android and nothing much, I bet it will be like this

[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] altayh:
I just purchased a new OnePlus 7 Pro yesterday and immediately set about rooting it. This is the process I followed:

fastboot oem unlock

fastboot flash boot twrp-3.3.1-4-guacamole.img

TWRP: Install > Select Storage > Internal Storage > Magisk-v20.3.zip

TWRP: Wipe > Format Data

I rebooted and was confused when I wasn't rooted. It seemed the last step had undone my root, so I went back into TWRP and installed Magisk again this time without formatting data. When I rebooted I had root and all was well.

However, there was an OEM update available that warned me it would remove root if I installed it. I found this guide to install an OEM update without losing root, which basically says to download the update via Oxygen Updater and then install it from TWRP. On step 6 is says to select the "Inject TWRP after install" option, but this didn't exist in my TWRP. I went ahead without it, thinking maybe it was enabled by default in my newer version of TWRP. The installation seemed to go without a hitch, but when I rebooted after I was stuck in fastboot. I couldn't boot my phone, nor could I get back into TWRP or regular recovery, only fastboot.

I tried flashing TWRP again using fastboot, but to no avail. I also tried running fastboot -w, but was still stuck in fastboot. I did some more research and found this comment which made it seem like all I had to do was download 10.0-GM21AA-OnePlus7ProOxygen_21.O.20_OTA_020_all_1909172051_db7a3f61-FASTBOOT from here and then run flash-all.bat. Once I did so I ended up stuck on the following screen:

QUALCOMM CrashDump Mode
--------------------------

dm-verify device corrupted Force Dump
kernel_restart

I can't seem to do anything at all with my device; not even turn it off. I tried holding the power button down for nearly a minute and no response from the phone. Is there any hope at all for my phone or have I properly destroyed it?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jasons1004:
https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-7-pro/help/mistake-kernel-error-t4029743

Same thing happened to me and I searched around a bit and found resolution. You can try what I did or try msm tool but search first as crashdump error is becoming common issue it seems

I held both volume buttons until restart and let go of one of them to get into recovery and then boot to boot loader if needed
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] altayh:
Thank you so much! I thought I'd corrupted fastboot and permanently bricked the phone.

Once I was in fastboot I used tool all in one to flash 9.5.13-GM21AA-OnePlus7ProOxygen_21.O.16_OTA_016_all_1908281716_b2bb5-FASTBOOT.zip onto my phone by picking Flash Factory Images, and now it's back up and running.

This was the magic trick I needed to know. Holding both volume buttons didn't quite work for me. I held them both down for over a minute and nothing happened. Then I tried holding down the power button and that seemed to work after several seconds. I didn't hold down volume down quickly enough the first time, so I had to do it again. I held both volume buttons and the power button for over a minute, but again, nothing. I tried a couple more times and got it to work. Haven't been able to figure out exactly what causes it to exit the CrashDump mode, but the volume buttons together seems to be the important part.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] altayh:
This time I tried doing the OEM updates first, thinking that attempting to install them manually is what caused my problem. First I installed the 10.0.3.GM21AA update, then after rebooting I installed the 10.3.0.GM21AA update. At this point it said my system was up to date, so I want ahead and booted into fastboot and ran fastboot flash boot twrp-3.3.1-4-guacamole.img. No errors, but no TWRP either. My phone was stuck in fastboot again.

Is it necessary to stick with 9.5.13 if I want root? Is there some way to get TWRP to work with 10?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] jasons1004:
Just use tool to flash 9 then after first boot fasboot flash whatever 10 build you can find. Then after first boot of 10 try boot twrp and install twrp.

Honestly I just used the tool to root and flash recovery. There is a button for that and just pick your files. Good luck
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] redpoint73:
You need to use a more recent versions of TWRP with Android 10. Current unofficial version -74 should work. So in your current condition, you should be able to simply boot TWRP (using the correct version), flash TWRP installer zip (if you want TWRP installed), flash Magisk (current version is 20.3) and reboot and you should have root again.

Easiest way I've found to install the OTA updates, is to simply install the update through the phone settings, do NOT reboot immediately after the update, go into Magisk Manager, flash TWRP installer zip as if it were a Magisk module (optional, if you want TWRP installed), then install Magisk picking the option "Install to inactive slot (after OTA)". Than just reboot, and you should be updated and with root.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] altayh:
Ah, I was using the Official TWRP App to get the images so I was under the impression that twrp-3.3.1-4-guacamole.img was the latest. I assume you're saying I should use TWRP 3.3.1-74 Unified Unofficial Q by mauronofrio from over here instead.

This is good to know. Thanks.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] altayh:
Just to follow up, I applied the available OTAs through the phone settings (up to bulid 10.3.0.GM21AA) and then followed the More articulated but fully functional instructions to install TWRP 3.3.1-74 Unified Unofficial Q. Everything went well and I'm now up to date and rooted. Thanks again to both of you!
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] redpoint73:
That is the correct TWRP to use ("Unofficial" version -74), as it appears you have already determined.

I don't know why the "official" versions have fallen so far behind. It's been months stuck on version -4, so it seems that they have stopped going "official" for some reason. No matter, the unofficial versions are working fine (and in fact required for Android 10 as you now know), so the "official" tag seems like a technicality.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] mslezak:
On these OnePlus phones I don't know why they love Qualcomm Crashdump mode. I fixed it sort of like you, but this worked 100%. You hold all 3 buttons (power, vol up, vol down) and you bypass the crashdump (takes several seconds 5 maybe 10), just quickly let go so you'll be in fastboot mode and can work your magic to fix the damn thing....

I even contacted OnePlus on an 8 they had no idea what to do...

[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Facuu:
Hello guys, I have a brand new mi9tpro with global rom and even though it works great, i cant stand all the google and mi bloatware so i wanted to flash another rom (miui or non miui)

The question is, do i lose something if a flash a custom rom? Let's say for example some quality on the camera or stuff like that.

I come from samsung where non samsung roms had to use generic drivers and thus the camera quality was horrible in comparison, and I dont want the same happening with this phone now, so i'd only flash a non miui based rom if the quality and functionalities remain exactly the same.

Thanks in advance!
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] DeepAnger:
My Mi 9T Pro is now under the latest beta from xiaomi.eu. Although it may be similar to stock ROM, I have frozen 69 apps (what you refer as google and bloatware).

I have tried a few smaller custom ROMs and most gave me bootloops probably because I did not install gapps. Why would I want to leave a nicely working xiaomi.eu beta ROM for something else which requires gapps and has more bugs ?
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Turbine1991:
Miui.eu miui custom rom: No downsides.

AOSP based custom rom: Less battery life, instability, worse navigation gestures, most likely bootloops if you do something wrong.

Currently I'd stick to miui.eu until our device stops getting official updates. And even a year or so after that. I am a big fan of AOSP software, but it's just not as good for our device.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] MajorBoobage:
This all depends on personal preference and philosophy.

Some people prefer to follow the engineering prime directive: "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".

You do say the device is working great, so...

The other school follows the concept of: "if it ain't broke, tweak it until it is".

and you do say you can't stand it, so maybe you belong to the second group.

Then clearly a custom rom is the only alternative you have.

Some ROMs are pretty stable and contrary to the opinion of the previous comment, users report equal or better battery life.

The only 3 real complaints I have heard about are a. the fingerprint sensor performance (and even then reports vary widely), b. lack of OTA and problems with dirty flashing, and c. no android auto support.

Camera is same or better with ANX or Gcam.

True, the fact there were 4, now 3, different firmwares and SKUs greatly hurt and slowed down development and testing for this device, and also the timing with the release of Android10,

but some official releases exist and custom ROMs are slowly getting there.

If you really can't stand google, I recommend you to check out LineageOS or SyberiaOS with MicroG.

It will take fiddling, reading online and troubleshooting, but other than time it costs you nothing.

Worst case, you can always go back to Miui.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] jhs39:
In another thread an XDA Recognized Developer has a PC program that makes it simple to disable MIUI and Google bloatware. You might want to try that before resorting to flashing a custom ROM.

Despite what people here say I've tried MIUI.EU on previous Xiaomi phones and always found even the supposedly stable builds to be buggy.

REV OS is a much more stable MIUI based ROM. Unlike MIUI.EU the devs for REV OS extensively test every build for bugs before releasing them to users.

I loved REV OS on my MI 9 but have stuck to stock MIUI on my MI 9T Pro so far. I did do some debloating using the program I mentioned.

---------- Post added at 03:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:19 AM ----------

If you are new to Xiaomi you should read up on the bootloader unlock process which seems to drive many people crazy.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] ntmalol:
>Disadvantages of flashing custom rom?

Flashing drivers manually is a major pain in the ass for me. These days OTA from custom ROMs are seemless and automatic. Otherwise it used to be another major problem with it. Another problem might be you might brick your phone. Another major problem is that none of the custom ROMs for this device are perfect and bug free. I am only sticking with MIUI for this specific reason.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Lethalben:
I've installed REV Os and it seems a good rom like miui.eu or mi globe or mmx.
