Well, I'm still on the 20210504 build with MIUI vendor, because I could not find the time or courage to update.

I mean everything is working, I'm only slightly concerned about the missing Android security patches.

But with all that's going on since then here in this thread, I'm hesitant to to for the latest build with OSS vendor (although it was inevitable, I think that the move to the OSS vendor was premature).

Anyone else here, who recently made the move (from ArrowOS with MIUI vendor to ArrowOS with OSS vendor) and still finds any disadvantages?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] jjcdennis:
I'm not a heavy user by any means, but I've found the build light, fast and much improved battery life compared to Pixel Experience. I get the odd little glitch, sometimes with Nova 7 shutting down, but all I do is tap the icon and all is good. I haven't had screen flickering, or really any of the other nags that people post about.

Many are using the aosp dialer, but I stick with stock and its fine.

I'm quite happy with the change from PE.

Cheers

It says cant conect to the server, try again later

Is a problem of my phone?

I have this problem since two days
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] endva3:
Same here. OTA dont work.. getting error.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] asymonds:
OTA didn’t work for me either.

I manually downloaded the update to my SD card, booted into TWRP and installed it without any issues.

I think the new update includes some OTA fixes – so it should fix the problem that was stopping it from working in the first place!
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] _arafel_:
I did the same, and at least in my case it didn't, and it still shows the error about not being able to contact the server.

Perhaps some hardcoded URL changed?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] asymonds:
I updated a couple of days ago. At the time I was connecting to the server but the update was failing to download, that’s when I did a manual update from the website:

ArrowOS - Downloads

I am now getting the bad gateway server error from the OTA setting on my phone, however all three mirrors in the above URL are working if downloaded manually.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] _arafel_:
In my case I was getting an error message (a toast) about not being able to connect to the server already before the last update (Oct. 3).

I then downloaded the latest update manually and installed it (dirty flash from recovery), and I'm still getting the exact same message.

What I haven't done yet is to check logcat to see if I can get some better error message.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] _arafel_:
Well, I just did, and I found that it tries to contact https://update.arrowos.net/api/v1/surya/official/arrow-11.0/gapps and the response is:

{
"message": "Unable to fetch download link"
}

So I can only imagine it's some backend issue.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] artifex21:
Hello everybody, I'm tired o MIUI and would like to try some custom ROM for my surya. The ArrowOS is the one that seems most stable with good performance and battery backup. I'd like to know what is the best camera app, and is there an option to use gCam without magisk ? Also, I'm on Global 12.5.2 with andoroid 11, can i just flash TWRP and then ROM without any issues ? Thanks in advance.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Klammergriff:
First you need to unlock your bootloader to install custom roms. Then you can flash the recovery and the rom. I had no issues.

You can install Gcam without magisk. I have Nikita Gcam 2.0 installed, it works like a charm for me.

[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] _arafel_:
Same version here, doesn't work either, nor did the previous one. Could it be based on location?

I tried accessing the URL directly from the browser and got the message I posted earlier.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] endva3:
Dont work for me too. Manualy updated to 03102021 but getting same error..
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Anstech:
UPDATE: Ignore the rest of this post. If you're not receiving the OTA, please see https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-11-0-0-arrowos-poco-x3-official-surya-unified.4192145/post-85741111 below for a candidate diagnosis you can help prove.

END OF UPDATE

Very strange. Updater is working fine for me with default preferences from the UK via WiFi or carrier. Let's see what we can do to help.

i) I'm assuming that people posting errors here have already checked the Issue Tracker & Discord to make sure this isn't a known problem. So I'll try to help diagnose what's going on, and if it helps anyone maybe they'd be so good to update the tracker.

ii) Maybe if people with errors give their location it might help to spot a pattern? If we can identify there's a bad mirror I can post instructions on how to bypass that specific mirror temporarily & have the updater app dl via another one.

iii) Has anyone with the error run a traceroute to update.arrowos.net yet by any chance? Installing Ping Tools from the Play Store & then posting the trace is the easiest way. I'm not sure how the update server backend is configured, but if it's aliased mirrors, and peeps with the error find a common server is being jumped to, that would again help in identifying a potentially bad, specific mirror.

So yes, if it's not a known Issue in the tracker & people post up their location & traceroute trace, I'll try to identify if there's a bad mirror & walk people thru bypassing that mirror in favour of a known-good source, from my own trace.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Anstech:
UPDATE: Ignore this post, it includes an incorrect assumption & is misleading. Correct information in posts below. This post only left up to preserve context & historical record.

Just to follow up on this: you'll find that pasting that URL into a browser will give that failure message, even from a connection that the updater will succeed from. So, 'Fraid it's not a useful diagnostic test, because the POST it produces is not in the proper form the update server requires to elicit a response. So it will fail whether there's a problem with the update infrastructure or not. Not sure if it needs to be session-specific/crypto-stamped or whether you could capture & replay a valid request from the app on a PC by including a few extra variables in the URL. But yeah, no worky-worky as-is.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] _arafel_:
Well, that's not documented then, the documentation says that it's a raw GET:

And the URL according to the source seems to match the one I saw.

BTW, I think I found an important difference: if I try the URL of the vanilla version, it works as expected and I get the full JSON:

Spoiler content hidden.

If I try gapps, I get the message I already posted ("unable to fetch download link"):

Spoiler content hidden.

And, finally, if I try some non-existing version I get a different mesage:

Spoiler content hidden.

I'll try to add this to the bug report, but I'll have to register and it's a pain...

What about Ghost Touch? What MIUI ver should i install?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Anstech:
UPDATE: This post is now unneeded, thank you - the problem is definitely global on the 03/10 GApps Build. Manual update is possible. But the Updater app will not work at this time. Vanilla is unaffected.

OK, brilliant. I think we may already have an answer, then. I'm on Vanilla, and you've correctly identified that there's a different response for the 2 builds, that is different for people irrespective of whether their updater config works OK. I had a faulty assumption, incorrectly lumping both configs together when they're clearly being served separately. It's looking like it's not the mirrors or the servers, it's the config for the GApps build update channel. Let's see if we can confirm this with a few more data points:

If anybody who's updating to the latest build can check the following 2 links in their browser:

https://update.arrowos.net/api/v1/surya/official/arrow-11.0/vanilla

https://update.arrowos.net/api/v1/surya/official/arrow-11.0/GApps

And reply saying

1) Where they are

2) Whether they are getting a failure response on both, or just GApps

Then the problem is properly diagnosed, and should be an easy fix for the next nightly run.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] endva3:
Im on gapps latest.

1)its ok (vannila)

2)error link (gaaps)
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] _arafel_:
If you think it can be related to the geographical location (perhaps related to selecting the right mirror?), I'm in Germany.

However, I have a VPN that offers servers in different countries, so if you think it would be useful to try from different countries / areas, just tell me which ones would be best suited for testing and I can see if I can try from there.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Anstech:
Thanks, but don't worry about it, mate. I had 10 mins to spare, so I just did the geo-runaround! Same everywhere, so I updated Raid's ticket on the Issue Tracker. Saw your update - top stuff. FWIW, Arrowos OTa mirrors are EU, USA & SE Asia, if it ever comes up again. So I just check 1 Virtual IP per continent when I need to, and check my traceroute if I need to nail it down beyond that (almost never needed any more, tho...)

I'm just checking the surya build source, to see if I can spot any obvious misconfigs for the GApps OTA.

Thanks, mate. Problem is now confirmed - it's global for the Gapps 03/10 build.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] _arafel_:
Thats already way above my knowledge, so I can't be of help there... however, one thing I have checked is the commit that introduces it and I haven't found anything unusual, or at least any different to other commits.

I also compared it to the equivalent commit for Vanilla, and nothing unusual there either... So I guess that's as much as I can help here.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Anstech:
My understanding is that the commit to that .json file is auto-filled from the nightly build engine, but I checked for error against the actual built file anyway by downloading a fresh copy of the GApps 03/10 OTA. The file name, size, date & SHA256 all match the .json & the download webpage exactly as they should. The path on the server seems correct.

In short, I don't know why it fails when called thru the API used by the Updater app. Without server logs, I suspect it's pretty much impossible to tell.

This one's going to require dev time to work out what's going on, AFAIK.

I've updated the Issue Tracker accordingly.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] _arafel_:
Yeah, I suspected that much... without the server logs it'll probably be a hard nut to crack.

Thanks for looking into the issue, and let's hope the devs (or perhaps the ops/sysadmins) will have time to have a look at it.

For anyone who had the GApps Updater bug on the 03/10 build & has been following along with the diagnosis process: the newly-released 08/10 build seems to have updated properly, overwriting the dodgy config file for the GApps channel on the update server.

So hopefully, you'll now find the Updater app can successfully download the 08/10 GApps build.

If there are no errors flagged up in the next day or so I'll probably go ahead & tag the Gitlab ticket for closure.

Following this issue, I had found another one (possibly a bug): I can't hang up the call, in Phone app of both AOSP provided and Google's downloaded from Google Play. You have to wait your call partner to hang and stop the call.
