According to the script, it is used exclusively for pure flash.

Can you please make an option for upgrade (dirty flash) as well?
[Redmi Note 10] MPK99:
It does dirty flash bydefault (caz it doesn't affect data partition). It'll be clean flash only when you wipe from recovery at post install... 🙂

I've edited post & clarified this...
[Redmi Note 10] sahbimath:
this tool doesn't seem to work with xiaomi eu roms
[Redmi Note 10] MPK99:
Currently, it's only for OTA based roms, that have payload.bin in it.

I'll update the script for eu roms too when I get time.
[Redmi Note 10] MPK99:
Done adding the scripts for miui roms. Check it out & confirm if that works.
[Redmi Note 10] Zirila:
...testing it next time when I upgrade or change rom

Anybody with the m12.0.11 OTA update for sunny Global?
[Redmi Note 10] Abdullah.Csit:
I don't think it's the right place to ask.

but why ?
[Redmi Note 10] LoV432:
This adds auto rom extraction to the OTA based script. So you just put the rom zip in the root directory and the script auto extracts it.

Disclaimer: I have no actual knowledge of this so theres a 50/50 chance this might nuke your pc or something :D
[Redmi Note 10] Apih95:
I will try this tool later , it seem promising coz it has dirty flash feature , it is very tiring when the only option is clean flash/no internal data after that
[Redmi Note 10] MPK99:
Newer update.

Fastboot_OTA_20210715

Instructions in the main thread.

Changelog (2021-07-15):

- Auto Extraction support (Thanks to @LoV432 for the idea)

- Merged updater script & payload extractions

- Fixed "Partition does not exist" error

- Updated flash instructions for linux & mac

If you have trouble working with fastboot for windows, follow this guide if you're ok installing manually
[Redmi Note 10] StaryMuz:
Script error.

Vendor is entered only as Vendor, not as Vendor_a or Vendor_b.

The script did everything correctly after editing.

tools\fastboot %* delete-logical-partition vendor

tools\fastboot %* create-logical-partition vendor 4096

And then flash to a/b:

tools\fastboot %* flash -w system_a output\system.img

tools\fastboot %* flash system_ext_a output\system_ext.img

tools\fastboot %* flash -w system_b output\system.img

tools\fastboot %* flash system_ext_b output\system_ext.img

tools\fastboot %* flash product_a output\product.img

tools\fastboot %* flash product_b output\product.img
[Redmi Note 10] MPK99:
Fastbootd already capable of retrieving active slot through get-active-slot implicitly & flash it to inactive slot. No need to explicitly declare & flash on a specific slot.

It's mandatory for physical partitions, not for logical partitions.

Also, explicit declaration is a bad practice
[Redmi Note 10] StaryMuz:
I was wrong about Vendor.

I flashed PE+ and the system did not load afterwards.

After editing the following, it worked.

tools\fastboot -w %* flash system_a output\system.img

tools\fastboot %* flash system_ext_a output\system_ext.img

tools\fastboot -w %* flash system_b output\system.img

tools\fastboot %* flash system_ext_b output\system_ext.img

tools\fastboot %* flash product_a output\product.img

tools\fastboot %* flash product_b output\product.img

tools\fastboot %* flash vendor_a output\product.img

tools\fastboot %* flash vendor_b output\product.img

But that's not right either.

I found out that:

Slot B should not flash during an update, only during a full ROM install.

For the update, it is flash to slot A, from where the running system updates itself (running from slot B).

The instructions executed during full flash and update should therefore be adapted to this.

Full flash to both B and A.

Update to A only.

If the update then fails, the system can roll back.

EDIT: scripts

I edited your script to flash only to A and only to B.:

Spoiler content hidden.

Spoiler content hidden.
[Redmi Note 10] MPK99:
You're wrong about many other things. I don't encourage manual slot selection. Fastboot decides this based on the current active slot...

You shouldn't flash the updates through manual slot selection, that's not how A/B partition scheme works.
[Redmi Note 10] StaryMuz:
It is possible that I did not understand all the processes correctly, but your tool did not work as it should for me with PE+.

Everything that preceded it:

- In a functional old version of PE+, I did an OTA update.

- After a reboot, the system should have updated, but it was left hanging in the system loading (even for tens of minutes).

- So I made a dirty flash using your tool. Without a factory reset, I booted the system, but it still hung in startup. During the flash process, it seemed to me that something was flash only to the A slot, and something to both A and B. This led me to the idea of editing the flash slots manually.

- So I had system, system_ext, product and vendor flashed into both slots. This resulted in the system booting without factory settings. However, the system started as new, without data and settings.

- I then experimented a bit and uploaded using flash to A, then flash to B, different systems. If I ran the last flash A system, it worked. Then I changed the active slot to the first flash B slot and also the second system started. But the other system started updating and performed some action. It kept working. I rebooted into the active A slot again, but the previous A system no longer started.

There must be a bug somewhere in the current use of updates and flash custom ROMs.
[Redmi Note 10] MPK99:
Everything works for me & the users on telegram support groups too.

For dirty flash to work properly, updated slot also must have the same set of ROM, magisk, kernel, boot, it's modules, etc... That you've used in your last rom

It's always recommended that keep backups of everything especially for this device as A/B is still very new to the developers.

On stock and android 11 unrooted phone.

Coming from rooted android 10 the battery drain is way higher on android 11

Done all the usual stuff to stop drain and debloated few things but what else can anyone recommend for battery saving

Thanks
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] @soka:
Things that help me are:

DEBLOAT

Debloat Oneplus account

Debloat Oneplus cloud

Debloat Oneplus wireless emergency alerts.

Debloat Google Pictures

Debloat Google Movies

Debloat Google Music

Debloat Google Gmail

SETTINGS

WIFI Scanning settings: Turn OFF

Bluethooth/Printing : Turn OFF

NFC: OFF, never use it.

Adaptive brightness : OFF ( Always adjusting consumes battery)

Use a dark Wallpaper & Screen time out is 30s

Notification, only allow the apps you want. Or switch off, every notification wakes the phone from Doze mode.

Location: OFF

Battery : Optimise every user app, including Google Play store & Google Play Services (Battery HOGS)

Accounts: Switch Sync data off

Hope this helps you.

:coffee:
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] funkyirishman:
Thanks for the above

Optimise the battery on most apps and not getting some notifications ie Gmail so take it this is one of the side affects
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] @soka:
Yep, stuff that runs in the background always eat battery. Especially Google apps.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Goggle play Services, Playstore, Google backup Transport and Framework are prime offenders.

The former two I kept disabled unless I need them. The latter two are package blocked.

Sync is turned off. Gmaps is kept firewall blocked unless needed otherwise it constantly is running in the background.

Optimization can eat battery and cause erratic behavior. Developer options>Standby apps, all buckets should show as active. Otherwise power management is active and it will cause trouble.

Dependencies... disabling some apps can cause seemingly unpredictable consequences and higher battery consumption. Goggle play Services has lots of dependencies but killing it saves battery. Turning off location helps too.

Turn off all carrier, manufacturer and app feedback.

Disable OTA updates; only update if proven to be worthwhile. Most updates harm the usability and provide little improvement. If the phone is running fast, stable and fulfilling its mission leave it be. Most carrier Android phones need to be optimized or they will run like pigs. Updates generally just complicate the optimization process.

Each Android and user are unique requiring different solutions. Play with it.

With Google you're not the customer, you're the product... the less Gookill, the better.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] funkyirishman:
Was looking at this but what do you mean by 'all buckets'?

Some of the apps are on WORKIng_SET /ACTIVE or RARE and a few on FREQUENT

Anything to do on these to save battery

Also I have Dont Keep Activities ticked but even when I close the apps its still running and press clear all
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
*These are the buckets. Google terminology not mine. More Google bloatware.

If you can't change their run state there then power management is disable... as is best.

Simple close apps when done with them.

If they continue to cause trouble try limiting background battery and/or data usage.

Ditch the really bad actors if can't get them to behave.

Power management apps will cause nothing but trouble and eat battery. Android manages its self well without this junk with well written apps.
[General Topics] less_brainwashing:
I am the only one on this planet who have installedd a custom rom with privacy apps for my 10 year old kid? I was thinking that a child is like a blank slate for advertising companies, until they get their first smartphone...So starting with privacy at the first smartphone will have most effect at the first phone. Also getting used to open source apps could last, because we tend to use what we have already learned. Getting used to managing files locally, versus cloud storage also protects privacy. Is there anybody else in this forum caring about kids privacy?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] akmlvl:
so basically xiaomi is scamming it's cutomers. the mi 11 lite comes in two different variants one with a diamond shaped pixels screen which is sharp and good and one with an rgb delta screen which i have right now not only it looks very blurry and cheap

it causes headches and eye strain which can be very harmfull

they randomly ship units with the different screen variants basically it's a lottery for customers where you can get your hands on a good or bad one

good job xiaomi now i have to throw this worthless piece in the toilet where it belongs

this Applies to both the 5g and 4g versions
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G] Sitara_Aci_La_Rose:
You know, there is already a thread about this? And you don't have to waste money and throw it in the toilet. You can claim it and give it back.

This phone is not worthless just because of different screens. I can't understand people that let out their frustrations in forums like this one.

Anyways, I hope you find a better phone for you.

Have a nice day.

[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] llxxVENOMxxll:
Almost EVERY smartphone manufacturer sets a Fastboot verification flag to verify if the Fastboot is really unlocked or not. As in the case of Redmi the bootloader unlock verification is done by the devinfo partition by verifying the flag. Since using the tool you just unlocked the bootloader, Fastboot can't be accessed. Just flash anything u want through SP Flash Tool. Or ask any kind human here for their devinfo and set the unlock flag yourself.

About a week ago I was investigating in the XDA forums the solution to the gray background of MIUI in its CC.

I successfully managed to find this thread: https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-miui12-bring-back-blur-to-miui-12.4235677/

I am new to this platform.

One of the people helped to send the MiuiSystemUI.apk file already patched, the problem is that it cannot be replaced in the destination folder.

Does someone with knowledge share the necessary files so that more users are happy with that characteristic blur of MIUI ..?

Credits to the people of that thread. Greetings
[Redmi Note 9 Questions & Answers] DorianLeDev:
Hi @Thel_Vadam, I asked myself the same question about this, and I'm glad to tell you that I've finally found an answer!

Firstly, forget everything about this thread which aims to rebuild a modded version of SystemUI!

I tried by creating a custom Magisk module, and I only got problems: App launcher keeps crashing, notification and control center not working, etc...

This method consists of changing a system value which will make your SystemUI believing you're on a Xiaomi device that officially supports control center blur effect.​

Requirements :

‌The free and open source app SetEdit

No pending operations on your phone, because we'll need to restart it at the end of this tutorial

5 minutes of your time (not that much in an entire life)‌

Firstly, you'll need to LAUNCH the SetEdit app you just downloaded 😱

As you can see, you have the ability to change a lot of system value without root access!

Search for a specific value in the field at the top of the screen : deviceLevelList

View attachment 5508637

(you should have value "v:1,c:1,g:1")

Change this variable with this value: v:1,c:3,g:3

View attachment 5508639

Save, and finally restart your phone!

Wahoooo! Your phone now has a blurred control center 🥳

It didn't work, is there any other workaround to fix this?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] eeeks:
Hello all

I've been scouring the web looking for answers to this problem. Most of them are Palm specific.

I have had to replace the SIM card in my Tilt with a new one supplied by ATT. Had the phone repovisioned with the new SIM...all Windows 6.1 functions are fine.

My Goodlink apps (required by company) are no longer working and throws up the error that the intalled SIM does not match the phone SIM..or words to that effect.

I went to try and reactivate OTA from get.good.com. The installer begins but is unable to uninstall the old app.

Is there a way to update the Goodlink server with the new SIM number. As it stands, I have no corporate email or calendar info.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] kimtyson:
Did you ask your corporate IT folks. I think this is probably something they need to fix. Sounds like your new SIM needs to be accepted by the corp servers or something like that.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] eeeks:
yes. but they are proving to be less than helpful. Goodlink is a legacy app and while they are bound to support it...they'd rather give me a blackberry.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] eeeks:
Hey all

So my corporate IT department will not reactivate my Goodlink account to work with the new SIM card.

My department will not approve the request for a Blackberry

My corporate IT department will not enable the native Active Sync for Exchange.

Is there a similar program to the Blackberry Desktop director that would sit on my host PC and *listen* for email/calendar changes...then relay those to my device OTA?

thanks in advance
