Another December 2017 update - Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion

Did anyone get this new update? I wonder what's this about. It's just around 63 MB.
FYI I've previously updated to the latest December 1 2017 patch 2 weeks ago.

Just wait, it took time on mine but completed eventually.

Got mine as well, was rooted with Magisk. Restored boot image, then installed the update, and rebooted. Then installed Magisk again. This was the easiest time I have ever had with the root/magisk/ota.

Can you please describe what you have done? Would also be interesting for me. I tried to restore stock boot image via Magisk Unistaller (Magisk-uninstaller-20171222.zip) in booted (not installed) TWRP. And also directly with fastboot from fastboot ROM image with
fastboot flash boot_a boot.img
fastboot flash boot_b boot.img
Both attemps ended with a bootlop. After i installed Magisk via TWRP again, the bootloop was gone and system booted as before (but i cannot install the update via updater then). Thanks!

Can anyone on N check if a /dsp partition is mounted?
If it is, it confirms that this update is a preparatory one for O.

Today Update

I updated directly from October to December (not the new patch, the first December one) without problems using the OTA updater & I'm rooted with Magisk.
First I unlocked the bootloader, temp booted TWRP using fastboot boot and flashed Magisk 14.5 using that. This way recovery is not modified & I can still root - did not allow system modifications in TWRP. No data was wiped and it worked fine.
For updating I used the instructions here (restore stock boot > step 1 OTA > Install Magisk to 2nd slot in app > step 2 OTA > Done. kept root and did OTA successfully.
Hope this helps people stuck with OTAs, it worked for me.

Root new OTA updates [September Update]

Hello guys,
I have successfully rooted September update with the help of Flashfire. As there is no fastboot images released at the a time of writing this so I have to make use of dual slots of system. This can be adopted for future OTA's as well:
The process requires you to boot into ur previous slot. It mean that after you have updated you phone boots from updated slot but old slot is still there which can be rooted easily.
Now you have boot from old slot
Code:
fastboot set_active x
x means your old slot before update
Now u have to root this slot by flashing patched boot image.
After successful root use flashfire to backup your updated slot's boot and system , u can use any format I recommend use fastboot flashable.
Now you can use backed up boot to flash on updated slot and enable ever root while flashing.
Now you have rooted your updated slot .
Now you can boot into updated slot by using above code with 'x' being your updated slot identifire.
PS.
Stock September Boot
First boot might take long similar to flashing SuperSU via twrp ( it reboots after boot logo appears)
I used this https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-5x/how-to/root-mia1-twrp-t3678453 to root my August build.

U can guess without rebooting in magisk manager, by boot image location
/dev/block/mmcblk0p22 --> means slot A
/dev/block/mmcblk0p23 --> means slot B
Also fast boot commands can be used for that

I guess slot A is August update and slot B is September update...
Reason: We had slot A activated by default so any new update (say September) will be installed in another slot (say B)...
I rebooted to slot A... opened Settings app -- About Phone -- It says August security patch...
Trying your method to root... Will reply back with the results...
thanks a lot bro
I said that bcz if someone flashes fastboot images , slot a is used for flashing by the provided falsh_all.bat file in stock image file.

Go to fastboot mode.Enter command in ur pc fastboot set active b or a (which will have old firmware)and boot it.Root your old slot containing august security patch using old cf root and install flashfire
in flashfire load the latest magusk or supersu (which you can download from google)(recovery flashable),select new slot and click flash.
Thats all you get your phone rooted with september security patch.

This doesn't work with Magisk, you get boot loops.
Incidentally, it looks like the developer of Magisk is looking for bootloop logs at https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/beta-magisk-v13-0-0980cb6-t3618589/page372
I bet if someone could get some Magisk bootloop logs he could get Magisk working on the A1.

I didn't state a word about magisk, bcz I tried that in August build itself when magisk 14.1 beta was released , it didn't boot so posted about that in magisk thread too, u can't get any logs if the phone restart from splash screen again and again that's bootloop, some kernels have ADB enabled by default in kernel that way we can have logs but it's not possible in stock boot patched by magisk.
Even flashing magisk from flashfire gives same result.

If u happen to have a unmodified system partion , only flash stock boot.img through fastboot or flashfire (note to disable ever root)
If u have a modified system , them flash system.img from August update fastboot files with boot.img , I will suggest you to do this as you don't know if have modified the system or not (even remounting system bricks OTA). To do so
Code:
fastboot flash system_x system/image/location.img
fastboot flash boot_x boot/image/location.img
x means ur current active slot (a or b)
U can find stock files from miui.com downloads section
Anyine has normal boot.img for october update? or even modified?
any link to stock september boot image?

Thanks Maher for you tutorials and help. I was able to instal Global Firmware and update to August OTA. I then used this rooting guide and it worked great. You should link this rooting guide to the last step on the Global Firmware tutorial as optional for people who want to root.
Any root for September? My phone auto updated from August patch. Thanks for all the hard work!
P.S. When a new security patch is installed is it supposed to unroot your device and you have to re-apply one of the patches above to fix?

Bro, i am rooted with magisk via patched boot image. So to install OTA i need to restore stock boot image right? For that can i restore stock image by going to magisk->uninstall->restore images?

in order to uninstall magisk you need twrp and OTA not working with custom recovery so easier for you to flash the stock boot

Edit: Couldn't extract the payload.bin inside the archive. :-/
thanks for the info. do you know where i can see the changelogs?
Changelogs are usually never published. This patch looks like a plain security update due to its size of only 82mb.

How could you follow the guide? For me it doesn't work. Magisk says "Stock backup does not exist"
Did you place a file manuelly? If yes where exactly?
The only way let magisk creating is a backup by flashing it with twrp, but i want to wait for official twrp first
update - i resolved my problem:
1. i flashed with fastboot the stock boot image of current running version 9.6.6 to the inactive slot, in my case "slot b" by cmd line:
fastboot flash boot_b boot.img
2. i did run magisk - install to inactive slot -> magisk did backup stock image of inactive slot
3. after reboot i was able to use "uninstall - restore stock image" to do the ota update (like described in the guide)
Is it possible to do so?
I have magisk in the Oreo version of September. And I want to upgrade to October. And I thought about doing this:
Install official twrp.
Install original boot img. Current
Install OTA via Twrp.
Install boot patched img. Current
Install magisk via twrp.
And then reboot the phone.
Is it right?

No, because TWRP in A/B devices (like A2 Lite) is located in the boot image too. So doing the second step of your procedure will cancel the TWRP installed in the first step.

Have no idea haven't even tried. Didn't know where to get started since I haven't seen anyone say anything about rooting with the January patch.
Rooting is the same as it always has been. Boot to TWRP and install the Magisk zip from TWRP.
The update is good, I see no new features but I noticed big improvements in performances and RAM management

Installing OTA via TWRP (I assume you are referring to than and not the Magisk flash) has never worked on the Pixel 3 or 3XL. Sideload the OTA or flash-all with the -w removed.
Just came across this bit of vague information but thought some might be interested. Apologies if it's old info, but seems to indicate the upcoming Feb 2019 update.

Never side loaded an OTA before. Does it wip TWRP and root? I'd assume so but just checking.

It does. Effectively, it does the same thing as the factory image without the -w. It just loads les files. I have been doing the factory image way for years on the OG Pixel XL and now the 3XL. I have done a sideload once just to see the process as well as an OG TWRP sideload once (when it was working) for the same reason. The factory method is the easiest and most reliable IMO. You just need to remember to remove the -w, LOL.
anyone have any idea why i can get twrp to install but when i install any version of magisk it boots to the g with a line under it for a few minutes then it just reboots to twrp

Could be a few things. Make sure you have the current fastboot/adb files, flash boot.img to both slots, make sure you have the most recent TWRP and stable Magisk files, verify all of your downloads and start over.

March Boot file - stock & patched

Doesn't work for me when I flash the magisk and reboot, I can no longer swipe or tap anything on my screen. Only physical side buttons are functioning.

You've already updated to March and booting OK?
Have Magisk Manager installed?
You could flash the stock file and modify itself with your install of Magisk and see if that makes any difference.
I'm not sure how many people have flashed this? Not sure if anyone else has had issues with it?

No I'm still on January, I never got the Feb OTA and didn't bother to try manually since it didn't seem significant enough but I wanted this March update because of the new Pixel drop feature set.
You can't flash the March boot image if you're still on January! That's why you're having issues.
You need to flash the boot mode mage from January, or update to Match firmware

I tried to do this with the March update downloading it from Google and the result was the same as onlyguynamedniles, my touchscreen not working, I am in February update.
Last month there were several downloads for February, this time for March only one file available.

You flashed the March boot.img on your February firmware? Why?

sorry but this was my first time trying this, before all I had to do was:
when OTA was available, went to Magisk Manager/Uninstall/Restore Images (Not Reboot)
applied OTA as everyone ormally would Settings/System/System Update (Not Reboot)
then, go to Magisk Manager/Install/Install to Inactive Slot
finally, after installation done, reboot
but this march update is not appearing so steps I've tried this time:
1. Got the latest boot image
2. Patched boot image in magisk manager
3. Flashed magisk-patched boot image
please your help what's missing?

If you're not getting the March OTA, you need to download it from Google and sideload it. https://developers.google.com/android/ota
There is a thread here somewhere which shows how to do this.
The boot.img I shared above is for people who need it for Magisk and saves them downloading the ~2GB factory file.

Affirmative :good:
dang is it that hard to understand . if youre build number does not look exactly like this QQ2A.200305.003 then do not use these boot.img's
its that simple this is not to upgrade you to the march sec patch with root this is for people already on the march sec patch to use to gain root
FIXED IT!! After taking the March update I flashed this patched img the phone boots up to a black screen. If you use the power button it brings up a White menu with "power off" "restart". So then I turn the phone off and load fastboot and flash the stock boot img and everything works again. Any ideas? Figured it out.... Magisk modules that were running.
Can you flash any of them without the use of a computer?

Nope. TWRP or any other recovery is not yet compatible.

Yes with ex kernel manager it's possible
Here's an updated patched March 2020 QQ2A.200305.003 boot image with Magisk 20.4.
I've been using it for the last 2 days and haven't noticed any problems as of yet. Couldn't direct install in Magisk Manager, so feel free to use this if it makes things any easier. OP, please feel free to add this link to your post if you want.
