To install the update through this process, you need to be on the PixelExperience recovery. So download the recovery from their website and install it via twrp. Then restart the update process.
[Xiaomi Poco X2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] langeyouxiang:
thank you very much!
[Xiaomi Poco X2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Tyrog07:
It apparently had to do for A12 roms. Coz I was able to OTA update over OrangeFox or twrp for A11 or earlier roms.
[Xiaomi Poco X2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Tyrog07:
Might also be possible in future.
[Xiaomi Poco X2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] langeyouxiang:
I'm very sorry, I have downloaded the recovery of PixelExperience and installed it according to your instructions, clicked install in the update system and restarted to the recovery of PixelExperience, then what should I do? I can't find the data/system_updates/ directory on recovery of PixelExperience.
[Xiaomi Poco X2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] sidrek:
I think this will be the case till twrp becomes compatible with A12.
[Xiaomi Poco X2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] sidrek:
Before you initiate the update, make sure all the passwords, pins, finger print etc used for phone unlock are removed.
[Xiaomi Poco X2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] langeyouxiang:
thank you very much again!:ROFLMAO:
[Xiaomi Poco X2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Tyrog07:
I was able to do OTA without doing this. Although I agree this is most safe option to go for, apparently there's mess currently which causes different kind of issues. I'll suggest to clean up everything, means start from flashing firmware and then coming to custom roms again. Will set up everything well again.
[Xiaomi Poco X2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Tyrog07:
Yep
[Xiaomi Poco X2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] langeyouxiang:
In the end, I haven't successfully updated the system in the system settings, selected the formatted data, and re-flashed the Android12 of the latest version of PixelExperience.😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

I hope that the official can provide a detailed ota upgrade steps.

How is the performance of the Latest build. I'm thinking of flashing PE but there's no review on YouTube? Please help.
[Xiaomi Poco X2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Tyrog07:
It's pretty good I'll say. Obviously there's some small jitters but not so much that would annoy. Battery life Is something you can judge on your usage, also depends on battery health. No problem in running as daily driver.

Coming from PE plus 11.0, can I dirty flash?
[Xiaomi Poco X2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] sidrek:
No, you cannot. You will need a clean flash and you will also have to format once installation is done.
[Xiaomi Poco X2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Jack jjj:
I found that there is a format system option in PE recovery, will this option make the phone become a brick?

After using the latest build of A12 there are some bugs which are noticed by me such as

Almost daily Crash in System UI

Not utilising 27w fast charging speeds

Idle battery drain is too much

I hope maintainer will consider all this bugs and fix it in the next build

Did you fixed the bugs relating major UI lags, slow battery charging and fast drain of battery???
[Xiaomi Poco X2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] @SreekanthPalakurthi:

I installed 22nd Feb build in my phone. Please help me, I am new to custom builds.

Whenever I reboot or switch on my Device it goes into bootloop, I can't go into recovery nor into system, I can only go into fastboot.

Everytime I have to flash recovery and then the rom to boot into the system. What might be the cause?
[Xiaomi Poco X2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] soham101:

A little bit slow charging i am also facing but it is still fast enough. Also reaching 100 percent for me. Btw i also flashed the a11 firmware before the rom. not sure if it affects the charging speed or behaviour.

Thanks man. Efforts are appreciated.
[Xiaomi Poco X2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Tyrog07:
Status bar icons are messed up. Dosent show even two sim card icons and sometimes two icons colliding. Also on lock screen only battery icon is visible properly. For plus version.
[Xiaomi Poco X2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] @SreekanthPalakurthi:
There's nothing I can do about it, Google's sv2 status bar api isn't dual cut out notch friendly. Try using higher dpi from developer options.
[Xiaomi Poco X2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Tyrog07:
Tried but it still doesn't work on lock screen. This issue is with 12L codebase?

It was fine in previous non plus build I was using.
[Xiaomi Poco X2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] @SreekanthPalakurthi:
Yes, s2v or 12L introduced a newer api for statusbar padding
[Xiaomi Poco X2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Sivakanthsharma:
okay, a few questions

background: TWRP doesnt work for a12 roms. i've installed pixel experience recovery.

1. Do i need a clean flash to go from PE to PE plus

2. Can i download the rom, place it manually into the ota location and expect the recovery to install it? if yes, where does the OTA download to?

3. If no to above, what are my other options? right now, im unable to sideload any ROMs. i get "cannot read *filename*" error. i tried reinstalling adb drivers, to no avail.

Any help would be greatly appreciated
[Xiaomi Poco X2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Tyrog07:
That "cannot read filename" error is caused by the fact that path of file becomes too large in characters. So just trim down the name of file and try to place platform tools/adb tools at much higher (parent directory) as possible.

For ex: I placed my adb folder in c/adb and renamed the zip to short name ie. Update.zip. I hope this helps.
[Xiaomi Poco X2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Sivakanthsharma:
Thanks dude! I did cut the file name. didnt know even the path name could affect this. it finally works.

The problems you have when you're only used to TWRP.
[Xiaomi Poco X2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Tyrog07:
Glad it worked.

Actually it's not related to only TWRP, it a global issue. Depends on each entity how much long characters they can process in filepath. It can be different in different cases.

Ex. (Hypothetical) let's say TWRP can process filename having characters length 50 but OrangeFox can process characters length upto 100.
[Xiaomi Poco X2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] langeyouxiang:
I am very disappointed and very angry. Use the system update in the mobile phone to download this upgrade package, each time the download fails halfway, and then you have to start the download again. I finally downloaded it successfully once, and I have to download it again when I log out to delete the mobile phone password and come back. Can't you just stop and resume? ? ?
[Xiaomi Poco X2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] @SreekanthPalakurthi:
"We are really sorry for your inconvenience, we are always working on making our user experience better. Your feedback is welcomed." Or so would I say if this was some "paid customer service" but unfortunately it's not, it's just an open-source project which is free to use to build yourself. If this was a genuine "issue" I'd look into it but, You could have just downloaded the ota from your browser with a download manager. Generally, it should be fine but maybe at that time, our server had some issues. Learn to use work arounds if things aren't working as expected, that's how life is.
[Xiaomi Poco X2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] langeyouxiang:
I have downloaded the upgrade package in the computer browser and the update is complete. Thank you, still supporting you as always.

Hi @SreekanthPalakurthi, the rom is amazing works perfectly fine and is super smooth to use. Hence thankyou.

although I have noticed that there is no option for 3 finger swipe screenshot and also i have seen that when im not connected to wifi a dot appears behind LTE logo in the status bar. Attaching a screenshot for the same.

is there any solution for this? that dot really gives me an OCD.

Thankyou!

[Xiaomi Poco X2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] @SreekanthPalakurthi:
There is nothing I can do about it, Sv2 has a weird api for status bar padding. Our notch is doomed to have terrible padding. Only Google themselves can "fix" it. You can use a higher dpi to make it a little better.

Hello there,

I searched for a while but couldn't get any answer.

When I use Android auto on my phone, everything works great but when I unplug the phone, it's so slow that I have to reboot him.

I saw that I'm not the only one with this issue and I wonder if I have to change the ROM in order to fix it or if there's something else to do.

Could you please help me ?

Hi there,

I think I have a chicken/egg problem? I want to flash TWRP (3.5.2_10-0-crosshatch)

This one does not boot, I read because of its size it needs LZMA in the kernel.

I flashed LOS 18.1-2011117-microG-crosshatch already.

Wanting to install the Kirisakura_Bluecross_R_3.1.0.zip file.

But here I would not know how, without working TWRP?

Are there hardware drivers for attaching a USB wifi device?

Or, is it possible to connect to a PC through Bluetooth get Internet?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] HIBISCUS:
nothing harmful but mismatch images will not boot your system so restore the system back to get it fixed.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Yeah, if in doubt just flash the entire .037 factory image to start completely clean, either with removing the -w to wipe, or not removing, your choice to try but probably fine not wiping, as long as verity and verification are both already disabled. Just make sure and add the verity and verification disable switches in place of the -w if you do flash the whole factory image.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] xflowy:
thanks guys!

so if i flash the factory image again, i am good and there wont be damages done anyhow?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Yep, you're good. Same as @rc chanu said, there's not going to be any lasting damage no matter what - just at worst your phone won't work right until you flashback to proper stock. (just for emphasis) Just reminder to always put the disable verity and verification switches in, now and any other time in the future you flash the stock image, otherwise you'd have to wipe user data once you have any and start from complete scratch.

Yes

[General Topics] DRAFF:
I need to replace two smartphones, used by adults who are not very experienced with phones.

The first is an Honor 7A, used for phone calls, whatsapp, web browsing (information and various readings).

The second is a Huawei P8 Lite used for phone calls and whatsapp.

The overall budget (therefore to buy two phones) is € 200 (maximum 250).

The aim is to improve the usability of the phones which has become somewhat poor.

In this case, does it make sense and is it a good upgrade to replace them with a Huawei P20 and a P2 Lite respectively, used in excellent condition?

Or is it better or similar in the new (always staying within that budget)? If so what?
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] DickyG:
Coming over from Galaxy S5. Am used to installing TWRP with Odin, then flashing ROM's, Gapps, Magisk zips through TWRP. Now I'm reading about adb, fastboot, sideload, etc. Is this the only way or is the old way still acceptable. Thanks for any input.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] BillGoss:
You can use TWRP. Most of the rom threads were created before there was a viable TWRP version (Sept-21).

But you can't flash OOS install zips. Read the OP posts (multiple) in the 8T TWRP thread.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] DickyG:
Thanks...I've read most of the TWRP thread and it looks like I can't flash ROMs, Gapps, or Magisk zips without sideloading them? If that's the case, do I need TWRP at all?
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] BillGoss:
I've done lots of testing in TWRP and I've only ever sideloaded a rom once. Also, TWRP does a lot more than just flash files.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] DickyG:
I've been using TWRP for years, and CWM before that. I just wanted to know if I can use it to flash zips or will I have to sideload everything.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] BillGoss:
Yes, you can flash zips.
