When this happened on the Mi A2 I had, the update worked the second time around but it is possible that they had pulled the original update and replace it with another. I'd value a working phone over an OS update though.

Type the following commands in terminal (one by one):

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modemst1

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modemst2

4.Reboot device.

Or you could try it with ADB :

1.Setup ADB and Fastboot on your PC.

2.Enable Developer options & USB debugging on your Android device.

3.Connect your device to the PC and open a command window on the PC.

4.Issue the following commands one by one:

adb shell 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modemst1'

adb shell 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modemst2'

2.adb reboot

Basicly it fixes the EFS that maybe got corrupted.

I do recommend to reinstall the modem by doing this :

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot erase modemst1

fastboot erase modemst2

fastboot reboot

And after doing that just run the "flash_all.bat" or "flash_all_lock.bat" from CMD in the folder that you have adb drivers and the official rom file.

You need to follow the instructions above about how to change slots first in fastboot....

Same here, black screen and no way to access recovery mode.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] RensoreK:
Power and volume up not working. So far:

I can get into fastboot and change slot from B to A using:

fastboot --set-active=a

fastboot reboot

I can then sort of boot but it states:

To start android enter password, tried:

default_password but password is incorrect. How can I boot back in to slot A?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] andraslate:
change slot from the one bricked to the one let you boot to the password screen by:

1. boot device to fastboot mode

2. check which partition is active ( in command line runned under administrator account and type this: fastboot getvar current-slot )

3. set active partition to other one ( fastboot --set-active=a if active slot was b and vice versa )

4. reboot device ( fastboot reboot )

Once you get to the password screen turn of the phone and:

Hold Volume UP and Power till you get the No Command screen

Press Volume UP and Power again

You will see some options where you can navigate with your Volume keys.

Select the Wipe/Factory Reset option and press Power to accapt it.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] X-static:
To enter recovery hold vol up+power with the phone turned off. Release when the phone vibrates and the android one splash screen shows up and then, immediately, hold the same button combination again. A "no command" screen will show up and there hold power and press Vol up once.

Phone won't turn off

Hi guys,

How were you able to turn off the phone? My phone is stuck after the update. The Power+VolUp button is not working for me.

My screen is turned on so I know the phone is turned on although it's just a black screen. If I leave my phone, it just boots every 5-10 mins, then goes back to the black screen after showing the "android one" boot screen.

Can i do this without unlocked before bootloader? I didnt done with this phone anything before
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] andraslate:
my phone was not unlocked either. and after installing the update I was unable to unlock it. that's why I had to do these steps. with this I ened up with the last update I had installed (2020 january). if you have your phone unlocked you can just go to twrp recovery and install an older version of stock rom.

---------- Post added at 07:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:59 PM ----------

Hold your power key untill the phone turns off. takes like 9-10 seconds and right in that moment you have to do the volume up + power key. but before you do that you have to change slot from the bricked one.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] AcidSlide:
This is the first time I'm doing this. I can enter fastboot mode, but how do I exactly switch slots? What tools do I need to do this?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] Abstrakcjaa:
So all i need to do is connect my phone to computer, and through command change partition and then wipe Phone, and i can do this

without bootloader unlocked?

yes. at least this was the only thing working for me with locked bootloader.

Update is running fine but I got a graphic issue in the nav bar. Looks like the led's are not running proberly. There are 5 dark shadows on it.

Anyone else?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] andraslate:
you will need this:

https://www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-linux/

once you have adb installed you can follow the steps to change your slot (partition)

you have a and b slots.

with command you can check which slot you currently on (the one is bricked by the update)

then after changing slot you can boot up to a password screen but it wont accept any password.

that's why you have to go into the phone's recovery mode and do a wipe/factory reset.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] chriskhany:
Hi.

I've got an idea which is also a question.

now that I can access the recovery after changing the active partition to B slot.

It means I can wait for a stable android ten to get released and apply the update from sdcard using its zip file and retain all my data and and get through this mess, right?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] Indexart:
That happens to me too

Hi, exactly the same thing happens to me. I have shadows at the bottom of the screen in my case, as if the screen was in trouble, but before the update the screen did not have these shadows. Anyone know what happens and how it is solved?:llorando::llorando:

Thanks Guys

I had mi A2 lite in bootloop, no unlocked bootloader, here is what I did

1. fastboot --set-active=a

2. fastboot reboot

after this the phone again in bootloop, rerun again:

1. fastboot --set-active=b

2. fastboot reboot

now started back from Android 9 and says that there was an error in update process asking to retry. blocked everything, now the phone is working fine with all my data.

I will probably not reboot anytime soon, I will do a total backup of all configurations and then maybe retry after some fix will be published

[Lenovo Vibe P1m Questions & Answers] Noxtizz:
Hello guys.

I have a problem with my Lenovo Vibe p1m it stuck at VIBE ON logo. I try to fix it by going into recovery mode, but the phone is not responding when I push the power button and volume down/up. I try to fix it using a command line using a laptop but in order to do that, I need to activate the USB debugging in developer option which is I cannot do that since the phone itself is stuck. So I now face the dead end and I don't know what to do. If anybody here can give me a solution that would be appreciated. Thanks.

[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus Accessories] dysphasi:
Hey folks, dropped the gf off at the airport and she realised she'd forgotten her phone, consequently she'd got no music to listen to so muggins handed over the ipod.

Now I'm left with my faithful touch dual and a headphone adapter I got from eBay (as per one of the posters in this forum)

...and my Etymotic ER6i headphones which have to date provided me with stunning audio quality.

Only problem -- hiss, and a lot of it! Now I know that my headphones are very sensitive, if there's a less than perfect audio connection involved hiss does occur.

As such, I'm wondering if anyone else out there has similar experience, or indeed no issues at all and could recommend a better headphone adapter (pref with mic).

Thanks in advance!
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus Accessories] dysphasi:
*****SOLVED*****

Returned that first adapter for refund (the microphone didn't even work when I tried it!) and ordered a different sort, as seen below:

Completely different story, sliding the volume control on the adapter right down and upping the device volume allows for clear sound and zero hiss. I'm a happy chappy :D

The microphone even works...bonus! :D

nb. for anyone who's interested:

A long press on the button initiates voice dial and hangs up.

Double tapping it calls the last number dialed.

A single tap will put the other person on hold during a call.

Only thing..... anyone know how I can boost the microphone sensitivity just a bit so I can have it a bit further (it's ok btw, don't let me put anyone off, I just want an extra bonus bit of sensitivity ;))
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus Accessories] TangerineTractor:
I hade a similar issue with bluetooth headsets.. the solution seems to be if you're headset etc has volume control, put it low, and increase the nike's volume.
