Standard QFIL Troubleshooting

Adapted from 4PDA using Google Translate

0) Check if Qualcomm drivers are properly installed

1) QFIL must be run in Administrator mode

2) The path to the folder with the firmware is too long/contains special characters -- unzip the firmware in C: /

3) Use the original cable

4) Change the USB port

5) Redownload QFIL version 2.7.453 from another site, uninstall existing QFIL , clean Program Files (x86) \ Qualcomm, ProgramData \ Qualcomm, AppData \ Roaming \ Qualcomm folders, install QFIL

6) In Device Manager, the hardware item may have a triangle with an exclamation mark. Reinstall drivers using the "Disable driver signing enforcement" mode and try QFIL again without rebooting

7) The file system type in QFIL is by default on emmc. Change to ufs, restart QFIL and try again

8) Turn on flight mode

9) Turn off antivirus

10) In the Configuration check “Use verbose”

Some steps need some more Googling. Hope this helps.

Same problem here

I cant get out of sahara fail too the first time i did it 2 months ago it worked first time. someone have any ideas how to make it work again ? edit: Factory reset would help? edit2:after unlock the bootloader again he did boot normaly and now I have android 10 hope it helps anyone.
[Lenovo Z5 Pro GT Questions & Answers] batgoon:
I also got the sahara error on my first time. If you got the sahara error, you just have to make sure you press the volume Up, Down and Power button all at the same time. Afterwards, it is very important to quickly connect your phone to the cable attached to the Pc. The sahara error occurs when you are too slow at that process.

I've done this around 5 times and successfully flashed other firmware on my phone. You could also try changing the cable or port that you are using. Checking if you installed the drivers correctly and followed the options in Qfil.

But from what I saw from other threads, sahara error mostly occurs if you are not fast enough at connecting the cable after pressing the buttons.

Can you give me the steps to update zui 11.5 like you did, pls...
[Lenovo Z5 Pro GT Questions & Answers] batgoon:
I followed the steps stated in here but instead of using the stock firmware, I used the Zui 11 stock firmware.

https://xdaforums.com/z5-...ro-gt-t3915945

After flashing the Zui 11, check your system update again and it should prompt you to install Zui 11.5. If you got into a boot loop again, I would recommend to reflash the Zui 11 stock firmware again. Flashing it again fixed the bootloop. Goodluck:good:

Hi All,

Stay Home and Stay safe !

Summary For My Case

I Had Received Buggy OTA (5 Dark Spotted Display) Security Patch V11.0.2.0.QDLMIXM In 1st Phase, After That I Was Receiving 1.08 GB OTA (But This OTA Was Only For Android P Users). Now New OTA Has Been Released That Is V11.0.4.0.QDLMIXM But Somehow Device Was Unable To Install. So I Have Taken These Steps And Successfully Installed Newly Released OTA.

Note That Given Below Steps Will Not Erase Your Data.

Device Must Have Unlocked Bootloader (But Someone Has Also Confirmed That These Steps Will Also Work On Lock Bootloader)

No Need Root

Here Are The Steps

1 - Unlock Bootloader (Link) (You May Skip This Step If You Don't Want To Unlock The Bootloader)

2 - Download The OTA (V11.0.4.0.QDLMIXM) Here

3 - Copy OTA File In Memory Card

4 - Go To Recovery Mode (Power Button + Volume Up) After That You Will See "No Command" Screen Just Hold Power Button Again And Then Press Volume Up Button Two Seconds And Then Free The Button.

5 - Then Select Option "Apply Update From SD Card" And Select The Path Where You Copied OTA File.

6 - Reboot

7 - Successfully Installed OTA V11.0.4.0.QDLMIXM

Observations

~ Dark Spot Has Gone.

~ Now System Is Showing "Your System Is Up To Date"

Enjoy !

Have A Nice Day !

If that won't work instantly and the message "No Command" appears hold power button again, press volume up for 2 seconds and free it.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] gusbalaa:
It's erasing my Device Data, got encryption unsuccessful .

After reboot to recovery i got erasing notification.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] TeoXSD:
I skipped the unlocking of bootloader and the update worked just as fine.

Saying it took too long to update would be just an understatement... About 10 minutes on the screen in the first image attached.

Took another 5 minutes to boot, and then in the update section I got the 2nd attached image, followed by the 3rd attached image.

The only good thing I will confirm in this thread is that the method works (without unlocking bootloader)... so just copy file on the SD Card, boot into recovery mode by following the steps:

-Shut down phone

-Press vol up + power until the phone boots and shows a belly up robot with "No command"

-Press vol up + power again short

-recovery menu appears

-select Apply Update From SD Card

-navigate to your zip file and then wait, you'll see an image like the first image attached.

-wait to complete

-select reboot or power off

The screen problem is gone as shown in the final image attached.

The rest of my search will be posted in the Android 10 Experience thread.

[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] gscu:
Please HELP! i don't want to lose my data!

i had buggy Android 10, received via notification, mi a2 lite stock, no root, no anything.

today i decided to follow this guide (Mi official site) for switching partitions (fastboot set active, it works, i can see the letter changes) and boot that other one with previous version (Android 9)

after booting "to start android, enter your password", but i didn't have anything set, no pin, no pattern, swipe only. so i tried 1111 and other defaults, no luck.

then, i installed new version via your file (this guide step 2), seems to be working fine, in recovery i can see the new version number (V11.0.4.0.QDLMIXM).

always asking "to start android, enter your password", and 3 tries left

can i do anything to save data? saving could be enough, access internal memory and save content, is there a way?

thank you for patience
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] aasiaasi:
Hello Gusbalaa,

In My Opinion You Should Wait For Fastboot Rom. More Tweaking Will Brick Your Device.

As Far As Bootloader Unlocking Confirmation Is Concerned, It Is Very Simple When You Switch On Your Mobile Device If Your Bootloader Unlocked 1st Screen Tells You After That Android One Screen Appears That Also Tells You (At The Bottom You Will See "Unlocked" Written).

Thanks,

MUHAMMAD Asif Qasim

Just mention in original post that the unlocking of the bootloader is not needed and it's optional (just in case of failure).

The unlocking of the bootloader is not mandatory since the archive is signed by xiaomi and the recovery will accept it nevertheless. By putting that as the first step just made more damage than just having it at all...

From the official information, the A9 and A10 users both received the same updated version, so you can flash it the same way, just IGNORE the 1st step, which is not needed!

[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] javiersa:
Nice! Did you have Android 9 installed before flashing the OTA?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] xbs:
No, I was on 1st A10 update.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] TeoXSD:
For the people with the message

That is a message you get when the prerequisites for the installation are not met. You have something messed around in the system and the update package refuses to install due to those problems. Stop messing around with root and other crap if you want full official support. If you want to mess up with your device and fully use it as a developer device, stop trying to go official.

That could also be a problem with the seamless system switch, the whole point is that (Status 1) usually means that /system cannot be mounted.

I was on the 1st Android 10 update. With your steps I updated to the latest one.

I used a SD card, 8GB Kingston memory card. Formated using cell phone storage option, then entered recovery mode with locked bootloader. The process is the same as updating the mi box S, if you are on the same OS (Android 10 in this case), usually a factory reset is not needed. I feel relieved not having the annoying Android P system update notice.

And do you think you can help me in the process? I have no idea how to install it. (Fastboot ROM)

I have android 9 pie (March security patch) and I am root user, twrp installed and magisk!)
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] a1291762:
Fastboot ROMs are packaged as .tgz

Extract the files. There will be a flash_all.bat (Windows) and flash_all.sh (Mac/Linux). For nondestructive upgrades, use flash_all_except_storage.

The script uses fastboot to flash each partition so you need that tool setup. You need to start the phone in fastboot mode. adb reboot bootloader or hold vol down when booting.

You will need to install Magisk/TWRP afterwards. Patch your own based on the boot.img in the package or use this one. https://yasmar.net/xda/patched_boot_11.0.4.0_204.img.gz
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] luchitoluchito:
Thank you!

I guess this file is patched with magisk. And taking that into account, and taking into account that I have already officially updated the stock ROM, v11.0.4.0, and that I have lost my root access, the file provided by you, will serve to root my phone, flashing the image with adb tools, isn't it?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] x1_logic:
this method is safe for devices with cam2api actived?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] a1291762:
I guess you could... But the normal process is to boot the patched image (fastboot boot patched_boot.img) and if you want root to be permanent, use Magisk Manager to install (direct) to modify your actual boot image.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] DJBhardwaj:
Yes, it should work given that your phone is on V11.0.2.0. After the installation, you will still need to enable the API again via the patched boot image as shared in this thread.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] ema93a:
I'm on 11.0.2 and I have some basic questions:

1) Is there going to be an OTA update to go from 11.0.2 to 11.0.4? I basically think Xiaomi is responsible for updating and fixing any problems they created.

I currently have a persistent notification (1.08GB) that updates phones with P but not those with Q.

2) Does updating as you say make my device stop receiving updates via OTA in the future?

My device is stock, no root, no bootloader enabled, just the 11.0.2 buggy update.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Guides, News, & Discussion] a1291762:
You can't install fastboot ROMs with a locked bootloader. You can in theory re-lock after installing but be careful. People have had issues relocking their bootloader.

Installing a stock fastboot ROM does not prevent future OTAs.

I am surprised that 11.0.4.0 is not offered to 11.0.2.0 users. No idea why they aren't doing that.
