[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] n0credit:
I don't think anyone has that yet. Only those who got the OTA. But it's not available now sadly.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vladd11:
Hello. I have tried to downgrade V12.0.22.0.RFQMIXM (B partition) -> V12.0.18.0.RFQEUXM (in A partition) to obtain boot.img, then root, but flashing only system, vendor and boot partitions. Now A partition is broken down (it's in bootloop with 3 second frequency). I hope Xiaomi will post an OTA or publish this deleted ROM again.

P.S. TWRP is not booting on A partition, I won't risk on B.

If you are going to downgrade you probably should flash everything and format data. The only other option is just to wait.

[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] n0credit:
Here's attached the boot.img for V12.0.22.0 EEA. The link for the recovery zip for the same version (EEA): https://android.googleapis.com/packages/ota-api/package/b389384eaa38f2b99ad68d579cb6dcfa44204313.zip

Is it normal that it's a google server and not a miui server? uhmm...
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vladd11:
I think Xiaomi used Google OTA API, which provides them the infrastructure: https://developers.google.com/android/over-the-air

Loaded up the recovery zip and now my phone rocks July 2022 patch. Thank you so much!
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vladd11:
Hello. Unfortunately I bricked A slot by downgrading it to lower version (it's just bootloop after 2-3 seconds,), while B is loading normally.

I'd like to root B slot. May I do this:

fastboot set_active a
fastboot reboot

Then see bootloop, after it go to fastboot and run:

fastboot set_active b
fastboot erase boot
fastboot flash boot magisk.img
fastboot reboot

Or it will brick the B slot?
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vladd11:
/d Accidentally repeated due to maintenance break
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] popej:
Is it official OTA link? I wonder if this update is safe. I haven't heard about problems this time, but I still remember update to A11 which bricked many phones. Does V12.0.22.0 EEA disappears because of software problems in this rom or because of OTA delivery problems?
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] n0credit:
It's an official link from the OTA on the phone itself and is working fine on my end. I'm even rooted. But you should probably wait since I see no benefit in installing this right now.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] popej:
Thanks, but what is the reason for waiting? My phone doesn't receive OTA and I have to perform update manually anyway.

Edit: I have flashed this OTA, all seems to be OK.

My Mi a3 suddenly crashed with the message "Can't load android system". Since I have to recover important files, which unfortunately I have not saved, I tried the reinstallation procedure with ADB update. I used the file.zip posted by “n0credit”, but the version is older than the one I installed and the procedure ends with abort.

Does anyone have the latest OTA recovery file of the European version V12.0.23.0.RFQEUXM, which cannot be downloaded from the official sites?

I would like to be able to pre-load maps for locations outside my home data zone prior to traveling to the area where I do not have a "all you can eat" data connection.

I am currently in Japan having just arrived from Australia. Before leaving Australia I loaded up the google maps for where I am in Tokyo. When I arrived here I fired up Google maps and when it moved itself from the last fix in Australia to current location in Japan it came up with blank maps. Nothing in the cache. Even though 12 hours earlier when I last had Google Maps running I had been browsing this very location in great detail.

Because I do not have cost effective data connection in Japan I found a work around was to connect my Diamond via activesync to my laptop which is on broadband and get the maps again.

But preferable to me would be to find a way to prevent Google Maps flushing away maps.

Would backing up the file "cache-GLM.dat" and the others in \Application Data\GoogleMaps immediately after loading new maps and later on re instating this backup have the effect of keeping desired maps accessible without a data connection?

I also notice that \Application Data\GoogleMaps\cache-GLM.dat file size seems to be limited to 1.99mb and does not get larger when I browse new areas. So it seems to have a first on first off overwrite loop like a data recorder. Another possible fix to my problem, could be finding a way to increase this cache limit somehow. Say to 20mb. That way maps would not need to be overwritten so soon. Had a look and could not find anything obvious in the registry to set this.

Does anyone else desire this sort of feature in Google Maps where you can pre load maps when you have a data conx and use them again without losing them when you subsequently travel to the new area?

yeah i would like to see that.. absolutely. Getting expensive to download the same maps over and over again :)

I agree, it would be nice to keep the cache for one week.

It would save a lot of roaming charges.

You could use the Microsoft Live Search Maps. This give you the option to set the amount of cache that you want and saves the map on the internal storage.
