[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] RoughNeck1971:
already installed. no issues. but honestly I'm also not using SMS anymore. Only all other messengers (whatsapp, telegram, signal...). Therefore I don't care if RCS is working or not.

I usually do just update. Only when I run into issues I do full wipe. So before updating I make sure that Whatsapp chat backup is done and the rest I do with swift backup. Just in case. But it is very rare that after the x update I recognize some issues or strange behaviour. Then I will just go for the same version but not with wipe. Until now that always worked.

[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] GIPAQ:
Hi all,

Even with the latest version I still have issues with downloading and saving attachments from some applications, like Gmail, Telegram. Do you guys have the same issue? Any solution? Thanks.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] RoughNeck1971:
About Gmail I can't speak but Telegram works for me only with an older version. Not a ROM issue but Telegram one. Caused by API - they didn't update until now.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] GIPAQ:
Thanks for the feedback, but Gmail is extremely slow in scrolling and cannot save or open attachments, I have uninstalled it, reinstalled nothing, anyone else with this issue?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] marcel112:
i had that on every build... storage issues.. only thing that make me solve the issue is first install android 11 release, set up the phone including apps and logins.. then dirty flash this one... only "new" problem for me on latest is Wear Os app is open on splash screen and nothing else so cant use it anymore with my ticwatch pro 3 :-(

i am still looking for the last a11 release off this thread though
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] marcel112:
@dargonswim can you tell me what the 1.3 gb and the 4.1 gb uploads BETA-CN are
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] munky-head:
The file extensions indicate a split zip file.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] marcel112:
Sorry but does this mean it was to big for one file and has to combine again or something after unzip?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] munky-head:
Haven't tried it myself but I assume that both should be downloaded and placed in the same folder when extracting.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] marcel112:
ok, when both there i open the zip and extract or... so the other follows?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] munky-head:
I think, I'm used to see multi part archives being extracted automatically.

If you end up flashing it, can you tell if the storage issues are solved?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] marcel112:
cant do it today.... no time when i get issues. need phone tomorrow
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] marcel112:
Anybody tried the new build yet?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] munky-head:
Meanwhile, there's a new .eu rom...
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] marcel112:
I know dirty flashed it.. is easier then setting up everything for this one..
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] RoughNeck1971:
Also updated to 29.12. As usual no issues in the procedure. Still it is a shame that they named it already MiUi 13 but nothing visible. Like no difference to previous updates. Let's see when the"real" MiUi 13 arrives. No issue to use stable Magisk 23.0
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] munky-head:
Storage problems are still there!

Clean flash, Mi 11 Ultra (star), attachments won't download, etc.

Will try the A11 method, but... be aware.

EDIT: The A11->A12 works.

I flashed an old Fastboot version of the .EU rom (12-5-2020), installed Gmail and Telegram, saw that storage works, upgraded to A12 Miui13 and viola.

I did face the Permissions crash and the proposed solution worked (had to access the app list, search for "permissions" and click the little link that displays all apps). Took me 4 attempts until I was fast enough.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] marcel112:
tried first flash on 29/12 and restore from cloud i cant get past the cloud icon? as new device it works
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] marcel112:
tried clean flash and storage indeed not solved on 11 pro for me... also lag on some apps
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] marcel112:
ahh, i see now. the 5-1 is one file again. will this mean i can flash it by twrp 3.6.0?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] RoughNeck1971:
No. This is what I meant. They are only for Fastboot provided here. If you want to use TWRP 3.6.0 you can download the recovery file directly from Xiaomi and flash with TWRP. I just read that this works with A12 - but I didn't try it.

Here is the Beta Stable for example:

Xiaomi Firmware Updater

The ultimate script that provides firmware packages for Xiaomi devices.

dargonswim is creating a Fastboot version out of these recovery files.

anybody got wear OS working on these builds? i tried it several times... fresh install or dirty update form working a11 build with working wear os。

Edit: wear os from get apps store is working as it should
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Senior_Pj:
Check this video, this guy explained the best way to run wear os
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] marcel112:
i did found out myself that china WEAR os app does work, but i removed gms and installed china one, so that measn i had to reset my watch, but i only have to install china next to the gms one, thanks
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Senior_Pj:
Which wear os watch you have?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] marcel112:
i own a ticwatch pro 3 GPS
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Senior_Pj:
So when you open Wear OS

So when you open Wear OS which you downloaded from get apps then it can find your watch easily?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] marcel112:
Yes... Just browse the watches... Like Playstore app... And then you are good to go..

Thanks again. There's already 16th :D
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] munky-head:
I was asked about this and wasn't sure of the answer - what's the difference between this rom and others?

I know it's CN and based on the latest pilot rom (correct me if I'm wrong). Are there any changes, compared?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] RoughNeck1971:
There are no changes at all. This is the original CN Beta daily rom with the possibilty to use script for better fastboot support. So you can choose to Install as a complete new rom (with wipe), just to update your existing rom or to debloat your rom from the chinese stuff (and to install GBoard and Playstore automatically). As addition you can also choose to either work with or without ROOT. But the script works perfect. Using that since months.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] munky-head:
Gotcha, thanks! I'll pass this information on. Maybe the first post should reflect that as well, I can assume that more people would love to see this clarification.
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] marcel112:
i was flashing other file so phone is empty, will try 12.3 version. Thanks for update again
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] marcel112:
Is it possible to dirry flash the. 21 or.. 22 on top off weekly. Eu 22.3.16?
[Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra] Sathelp:
You cannot dirty flash different ROM branches due to possible partition differences between them. If you do, you may end in bootloop until you format data.

[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] lunasspecto:
A while ago—and I didn't think I noticed it right away, so it's hard to say exactly when or if it was immediately after an Android update—my Pixel 4a's gyroscope and accelerometer stopped functioning. I installed the sensor logging app phyphox from F-Droid and it tells me my device doesn't appear to have a gyroscope or accelerometer, although other sensors like the light and proximity sensors work. I am running stock Android with the latest updates. The phone is otherwise functional, but the problems I've noticed are:

* AR/VR functionality doesn't work at all

* Location sensing is less accurate when stationary or at walking speeds

* I can't rotate the screen even with Auto Rotate enabled, except in apps like YouTube that enable manual rotation

* If I take photos or videos in landscape orientation I have to manually rotate them afterwards

I tried uninstalling some old apps and starting the phone in safe mode, but the problem of not being able to rotate the screen with Auto Rotate persisted. I then tried a factory reset; this didn't help either. Today I got the update from Android 11 to Android 12; the update went fine but I still have this problem on Android 12.

Has anyone solved this issue with the Pixel 4a? What should I try next?
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Reflash to last working rom.

If that fails it likely a mobo failure.

Once I have a fast, stable OS that's fulfilling its mission I don't update. Updates aren't needed or even desirable most times* especially since Android R raised its ugly head.

Pie and Q are still the more desirable variants.

Since Q Android has been in a high G flat spin and all they do in response is mash the throttles into the full afterburner indents.

That won't get it... *splash*

Scoped storage splashed 2x🤮🤢🤣

*if you the latest Android hype, yes; if you want the most functional and user friendly, no.

Choose wisely or your it's a lick on you.
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] samrattt:
I'm having the exact same problem..have you find any solution yet?
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] lunasspecto:
Nope. I haven't tried downgrading or flashing ROMs because I'm worried it will interfere with my employer's device policy that allows me to view my work email, calendar, etc on my phone, and also because I don't really have the time. So for now I'm just living with the issue.

So, I've been trying to update the watch but it never finishes and gets stuck booting to apply update. Only way to boot back is by pressing both buttons to get into the boot menu and pressing continue from there.

Im also unable to reset watch or boot into recovery. Any boot options besides continue dont work.

[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] Ray965:
I like to use phones with LineageOS without Gapps because I don't want Google to have even more data from me.

Ironically the Google Pixel 4a seems to be my best option for a new phone regarding my other specifications (small, good camera, not too expensive) and there is a LineageOS custom rom for it that should work without Gapps.

But I'm worried about data security because Google is the manufacturer...

Any advice on that?
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] badtlc:
I think you'll be fine. The software is key component. Any hardware based spying won't be limited to the Pixel 4A because they don't use any custom hardware.

I too arrived at the 4a for all the same reasons as you. It is a nice compact phone and of high quality.

[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] rester555:
I have a pixel 5, was running Android 11 with oct. 5 security update.

I flashed the non verizon factory image from the google factory image repository.

then patched my boot image

then tried to flash magisk patched boot

it kept going to bootloader saying error from @V0latyle where the boot image did not match because I didn't disable the flag.

I reflashed the non verizon factory image for pixel 5.

I went through the initial google setup and then adb back into bootloader.

I tried using the disable flags command in the flash-all.bat file from the factory image. It failed and went to recovery and said I had a corrupt system image in recovery mode.

I factory reset and reflashed factory image without flags in the flash-all.bat file

Went through google initial setup

adb back into fastboot.

pushed the disable flag commaned with --slot=all

patched magisk image

booted into A12 with root.

So far root has taken for everything and no issues.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] creezalird:
yes i did wipe, i was on protonaosp 11.60 - Pixel 4a5g

So basically I copied 4 files into my platform-tools folder (flash-all.bat, bootloader, image, radio)

Then edited the flash-all.bat a little bit (highlighted blue below) based on your guide

PATH=%PATH%;"%SYSTEMROOT%\System32"

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-bramble-b5-0.4-7617461.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

ping -n 5 127.0.0.1 >nul

fastboot flash radio radio-bramble-g7250-00147-210811-b-7631450.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

ping -n 5 127.0.0.1 >nul

fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification -w update image-bramble-sp1a.210812.015.zip

echo Press any key to exit...

pause >nul

exit

Then

adb reboot bootloader

flash-all

Wait, done. Follow the usual magisk patched setup. So far no issue. Just sharing my experience here.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] V0latyle:
To be clear, you initially tried to dirty flash the factory image without a data wipe?
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] esta0:
Pixel 4a 5G. Was running rooted A11 before the update, never installed any betas.

1. Dirty flashed the non-Verizon OTA image via recovery sideload, didn't wipe anything

2. Patched boot.img from the latest factory image with Magisk, flashed it

3. Got into a bootloop with "Failed to load/verify boot images"

4. Reverted everything by flashing the full factory image (without -w), booted into the system

5. Went back to fastboot, flashed vbmeta.img with --disable- flags but no --slot=all

6. Flashed the patched boot.img again, tried to boot

7. Saw the corrupt system screen, decided not to format data

8. Repeated step 4

So now I have a working system and no root.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] rester555:
sorry I didn't try dirty flashing from A11 to A12... I did a -w on the initial install.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] V0latyle:
Try reflashing vbmeta with the disable flags and --slot=all, then try booting your patched boot image.

Odd. Sounds like it should have worked the first time. You actually did it right, wiping data when upgrading using the factory image.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] rester555:
Yeah, I wonder if my patched image became corrupt or something... transferring boot images from windows to android devices always freak me out. I should do a hash check on them.

In the future I might just download the image directly to my phone extract the boot images for magisk patching... then bringing them over to my windows environment.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] killchain:
Pixel 4a 5G, coming from the June/July patch of stock Android 11 (for some reason I did not get the October patch even though I started regularly checking for updates - hoping for A12 - about 10 days ago) - it was rooted and I didn't disable anything (regarding Magisk) in advance.

Dirty flashed A12 OTA through the UI and rebooted - went fine (with the exception that when I hit reboot from settings, phone turned off instead of rebooting; upon turning on again, update went normally, and IIRC Magisk Manager asked by itself to reinstall the app).

I patched boot.img extracted from the latest FI (non-Verizon) and attempted to flash it; flash went fine, but afterwards I got to "failed to load/verify boot images" in fastboot.

As per suggestions from @V0latyle I ran "fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img" which got me to recovery and a corrupt system state.

Ran "fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img" after which I could boot normally and there was no data loss (but no root)

Tried "fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta-beta5.img" (where "vbmeta-beta5.img" is vbmeta from Beta 5), IIRC it got me again to "failed to load/verify boot images" again.

Ran step 4 which got me to boot normally.

Sometime at this point I patched boot.img in Magisk again and managed to boot from it ("fastboot boot magisk_patched-xxxxx_yyyyy"), and system booted up with root; from then on tried direct install of Magisk - it went fine, but upon reboot I was back at "failed to load/verify boot images".

Ran 4 again, in addition to that I flashed unmodified boot.img and here I am - running system, no data loss, no root.

I haven't used the --slot flag anywhere, and I think fastboot always reported only touching slot a.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] V0latyle:
Guess what I would recommend you try next? Lol.

fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash --slot=all vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
fastboot reboot
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] rester555:
You can also try this if that doesn't work..

fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash --slot=all vbmeta vbmeta.img
fastboot reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot --slot=all magisk_patched.img
fastboot reboot
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] V0latyle:
Good point actually, if it's giving us issues with the a/b slots on vbmeta, we should make sure that both /boot slots match too.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] pappy97:
Did you do the --slot=all for flashing the magisk patched image in your steps above (your first post where you said you finally got it work)?
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] V0latyle:
This is what I am wondering as well, has flashing both boot slots actually fixed a problem for anyone?
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] killchain:
What was the idea of the two slots? Wasn't it something dealing with seamless updates? Does it make sense to want to check what's in the other slot and whether it is what's causing trouble?
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] pappy97:
Well I tried those steps including flash magisk patched image to both slots, I still had the same issue. Gonna wait to see if others are able to do it successfully with a dirty flash before trying again. Thanks for your help!
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] V0latyle:
Well, it looks like I'm definitely not immune.

Started from 12b5 (clean flash coming from Android 11), rooted.

Took the OTA today, rebooted, no root as expected.

Got home, flashed vbmeta to both slots with boot verification disabled.

Attempted to live boot my patched boot image from the 12 Beta, got boot.img missing cmdline or OS version

Bootlooped twice, got the "data may be corrupt" error in recovery

Reflashed vbmeta to both slots without disable flags, same result.

Dirty flashed factory image via ADB without disable flags, same result.

Dirty flashed factory image via Android Flash Tool without disable flags, same result.

Dirty flashed Beta 5 factory image via ADB, same result.

Tried to reflash vbmeta, vbmeta_system, and boot. Same result.

Now doing a CLEAN flash of the 210812.015 factory image with disable flags set. Booted and going through setup.

Patched boot image. Able to live boot patched image. Performed Magisk "direct install", about to reboot.

It worked! Now rooted on 12 Final, but had to wipe data.

Working on Safetynet now.

So to recap:

Nothing worked until I clean flashed the factory image with verity and verification disabled. I was then able to successfully root, and did not have to reflash anything. Unfortunately, it did require a data wipe.

Can't get my device to pass attestation now. Installed the latest universal fix 2.1.1. There are currently no Android 12 fingerprints for props config. It's failing both basicIntegrity and ctsProfile, does say eval type is basic. Magisk is hidden. gPay and Play Services are 'hidden', cache and storage were cleared. Phone was rebooted. Funnily enough the banking apps work, but gPay does not.
[Google Pixel 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] V0latyle:
Weird. I haven't tried GPay yet but I think I'm passing...

Update: GPay works, I had no trouble adding cards. The only thing I've noticed is the NFC icon has a line through it and it says "Not set up". Not sure why.
