LineageOS Reinstall - Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion

Hello, having a few issues with my LineageOS install, random reboots and bluetooth not working for calls.
So the plan was to give it a quick reinstall (keeping all data) and if that doesnt resolve the issue revert back to stock, using the Mi A1 Tool.
Could anyone point me in the direction of how to just do the LineageOS bit with keeping data, followed the guides before to get it to install but not sure how to isolate to just Lineage.
I do have the Mi A1 tool working if that can help for this bit?
Edit: And for the Mi A1 tool if I go back to stock, I can just click "Install stock rom" and let it do its thing and im done?

I'm sorry man but if you want to fix some problem on a custom ROM installation, you can't just do a quick flash and keep your data. Everyone on this forum will tell you to do a full clean install.
So you have to Flash the latest Firmware from Xiaomi through Fastboot or EDL anyway... Then do a clean install of LineageOs.
I know sometimes it's a pain to backup every time, but it's a choice you made by playing with custom ROMs.

I am fine with that, as long as I know it will work so I am thinking of just going back to stock.

[Q] - No Calls or SMS OxygenOS or CM12

OK I am having a problem, when i rooted and followed the direction to install both OxygenOS or CM12 nightly I am unable to receive any SMS or phone calls except after a reboot. Once i reboot any saved messages come through and then once the phone sleeps it stops. I have rolled back to CM11S for the time being. Any steps or tricks to follow to get this issue resolved.
"followed the direction to install both OxygenOS or CM12 nightly" does it mean you are using Multiboot?

No just flashing either one I have this result. Not sure if I am doing something wrong in the process.
Steps:
Wipe all but internal
Flash Rom (then gapps if CM12)
Flash SU
Reboot

Well all i could suggest it, also please flash the CM12 firmware once. In theory oxygenOS and CM12 firmwares are compatible. So flash like this:
Install CM12 fimrware zip
Wipe System, Data, Cache, Dalvik etc without Internal memory
Flash Rom Zip
Flash Gapps
Flash SuperSu
and then let it boot and settle down. Before restorign apps or data, check for any issues again
seems to be sitting stable at the moment, will keep testing. but thanks for the input.

Great! Let me know if the bug persists. And be careful with firmwares. For CM12 roms, just flash the firmware once and you're good to go for all of then.

spoke too soon, after letting the phone sit ideal for a few hours and testing incoming calls\sms nothing came through. restored a backup of CM11S, for the week to have a working device. will keep trying to get to a root cause later in the week. will also open a help ticket with OnePlus to see if there is something I am missing as well since this happens with OxygenOS as well.

Help for for back-up and for new rom installation (newbie :) )

Hi guys, i have a completly stock OPO with CM13.1,
I never changed anything because personally I really like the CM roms, but now after learning that OPO will not be updated to Android nougat would like to install a new rom.
Browsing the forum I found the rom Tuga Power (http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/development/rom-tugapower-0-2rc-t3463157) who seems to have a few bugs, is already updated to 7.1 and has all the features i love about CM (such as themes).
Now since I have never done anything like that (except the flash of some recovery of stock updates), I need a hand for backing up (a good app that makes me put EVERYTHING safe), for installation of custom recovery (TWRP?) and flash the new rom and related Gapps.
Thanks in advance
The backup you're looking for a is nandroid backup which can be made in your custom recovery. If you have TWRP, just boot into recovery, select backup, select all the partitions, then start the backup. It'll take a couple of minutes and the backup will be about 5-7~ GBs so make sure you haven't enough space. Another type of backup can be made with the app Titanium backup and it's available on the play store. Your phone needs to be rooted and you need to have busybox installed, but the app will make a backup of all your apps and their data.
After you install the ROM, do a factory reset in recovery, wiping all partitions except internal storage. After that, follow these steps:
1. Flash your preferred firmware (241 is generally the recommended one)
2. Reboot into recovery.
3. Flash your ROM, then immediately flash your GApps package.
4. Do a regular reboot. The first time will take a couple of extra minutes.
5. After it's done turning on, reboot regularly one more time.
And done!
I recommend draining your battery to 0 and then charging it to 100 ASAP to recalibrate your battery, as this will usually give you better SOT.

You think that will be better then Tuga ? Reading on forum i think Tuga is One of the best in terms of Battery/bugs/usability
I've not had a lot of experience with Tuga, so not totally sure. CM 13 has treated me well (except for this time last year when there was a pretty serious spontaneous rebooting issue due to a modern change). Other than that, this has been my exclusive daily driver for a year now.
I don't expect CM 14 to be daily driver material out the gate, but I wouldn't mind being wrong about that ?. We'll see.

Yes, this tool will work to flash TWRP. But you will have to do the backup yourself, as I don't believe that tool supports that function.
But personally, I will recommend you do these steps yourself, as you will learn more about your device and will be able to pin point any errors or to familiarize your self with the process in case a tool is not available in the future.

Someone gave me that same advice about a year ago. It pays to learn how to use things like ADB from your computer terminal.

Yeha i'm looking on YouTube for videoguides, seems not too hard, at least not harder than Kali wich i'm familiarizing righ now, my only fear is the backup, i Have no root and Titanium works with root , but for having root i need too go with Twrp wich needa to unlock bootloader that need wipe ...

how to know if it's a bootloop?

hello i was upgrading from stock 9.0.7 to 9.0.9, my bootloader is unlocked and twrp is a permanent one, the phone is also rooted. i wiped system then flashed the 9.0.9 then flashed the 4.0.4 twrp, rebooted into twrp, flashed latest magisk, rebooted into twrp and then pressed reboot into system. the phone is encrypted. the booting animation has been on for 20-30 minutes at this point. is it a bootloop? why what did i do wrong? thanks
@seth wellington
Try formatting data them reboot system. That should get you booted up.
Never wipe system or vendor on these devices and always when flashing a rom flash TWRP installer zip or you won't have twrp because of where recovery is located which is same place as boot.img and it has to be installed when flashing a rom or update to a rom or it won't be present.
How I flash OOS on my once T-Mobile now converted international/global OnePlus 6t.
Boot TWRP
Flash OOS global 10.3.6
Flash TWRP installer
Flash finalize
Format data
Reboot system
How I install a rom on my converted OnePlus 6t. This installation process varies depending on whether or not whatever rom I'm installing comes with gapps and or TWRP and of course you don't want to install global OOS on another model device. Since I converted my T-Mobile OnePlus 6t using guide and msm tool I now use global or international OnePlus 6t roms, firmware... Example Pixel Experience rom installation:
Boot TWRP
Flash OOS 10.3.6 global from repo xda thread
Flash Pixel Experience rom
Flash TWRP installer zip
Flash finalize zip
Format data
Reboot system.
Start to set up device then at some point enable developer options and usb debugging and doable any lock screen and boot twrp and flash magisk for root and reboot system. That is how I install a rom that has gapps but not twrp included in rom zip. Finalize can he found with a quick search on xda. It copies firmware to other slot on your AB partition device so that you don't have to. Saves 5-6 minutes and works great.
Edit
What you could have done is just flash your updated OOS , flash TWRP installer zip, reboot recovery, flash magisk, reboot system. That's what I would have done updating OOS ..
Hope this helps.

Thank you very much for your reply. Unfortunately I couldn't wait for that long and I had to do something right then. After some attempts I also lost my twrp and was left without a functioning recovery, so I had to look for help and some people helped me go through unbricking through the msm tool.
The thing is i just really want to always flash clean so that the phone doesn't lag and works properly, I had no idea you shouldn't wipe system... The guide that I followed said that when updating oxygen manually you have to wipe system so I thought nothing would go wrong. I still don't know what caused a bootloop since that guide was a verified one. Thanks a lot for your help. So if I'm reading it correctly, you have to do the wipes after you've installed the system, not before?

Quit a few pretty well known developers here on xda (AOSiP op is one and there are more) say not to wipe system or vendor in their first posts of their custom rom threads. The way I describe how I install works 100% always and is the cleanest possible installation. Formatting data when installing a new rom at the end of install process does all the wiping needed to make sure nothing is left from the past and everything is clean. I used to wipe various partitions but on other devices. The install directions I use are originally from the PiXeN rom developers op. I've been flashing roms since the Nexus S days. Not saying that means anything other than I'm kinda old now. ? But that install process has never failed me once and I've flashed I'm sure hundreds of times on this device.. When I update i just flashing the updated rom over current and don't wipe anything then flashing twrp installer zip, reboot recovery flash magisk reboot system or if gapps are needed when I reboot recovery flash gapps..Unless it's a major OS update that's always worked for me.
Possibly not formatting data caused boot loop.. I know when going from OOS to AOSP rom format data is mandatory or it won't boot system.. I never flash magisk during initial flash. I always boot system first then at some point boot twrp and flash magisk. Try that next round and see if it turns out better. The whole AB partition deal made me feel like I was really old and retarded.
If I was updating OOS I would boot recovery, flash OOS, flash twrp installer zip reboot recovery, flash magisk, reboot system. Check out the finalize script xda thread. There are two here. The original person who made finalize has a thread and another user has another finalize thread. I believe in guides section of OnePlus 6t. With Android there are always more than a few ways to achieve something you know ... But what I post here is what I've been doing and I've flashed 400-500 times at least on this device.

I totally trust you and respect anything you say and recommend me to do. Thanks a lot for all the instructions and clarification. I've been into android far less time than you — only since oneplus one. I'm extremely bad with tech but even with that phone j somehow managed to get bootloops or half-bricks ten times less than with the oneplus 6. And back then in 2015 I was way more enthusiastic: flashing twice a month loads and loads of roms. Of course it wasn't my personal achievement, I was still simply following detailed and carefully written instructions on forums on how to flash a particular rom in a particular way, but hey, at least I somehow managed it.
Now in this case I'm assuming it's the a/b partitions they've introduced that have completely changed the process and ways of flashing to the point that I stick to the guides and still get bootloops lol. That unbricking process was a huge stress for me, I don't think I'm going to touch anything in my phone for a while now. And I'm on the latest 10.3.6 oxygen so it's alright. Thank you for your help buddy

Np. My real first name is Seth. Haha. Cool name btw. I just installed OOS 10.3.7 on my 6t. I was notified of the update yesterday via oxygen updater app from play store. Good handy app to have. I would have never known 10.3.7 was out or at least not so soon if it wasn't for that app. I believe it auto notified me too. I don't remember setting it up. Android has changed soooo much you know.. I love my OnePlus 6t though. Definitely one of my most favorite devices I've ever used. What's new today is gone at some point and replaced with "better.." lol. Not always better imo anyway. Glad I could help. Feel free to message me any time. Good day to you.

[Xiaomi POCO X3 NFC surya] Wi-Fi stuck with "Turning on..."

I have successfully installed LineageOS what feels like a hundred times now. I followed every single piece of advice and best practice. In total frustration I gave up LineageOS and followed every single step for an OctaviOS installation. I even flashed the newest Global stock firmware successfully, just to follow every recommended step.
I boot into OctaviOS, after successful installation and...
Wi-Fi still won't turn on.
I am completely out of ideas and I have no idea what to do about it. Going back to stock and using this in production is not an option.
I have installed TWRP 3.4.0-0 By mahajant99 and every ROM flash and partition wipe, worked as expected and I never encountered a serious error. All flashes went fine and everything was done exactly step by step, as the guides recommended. Still, no Wi-Fi.
What can I do to fix this?
P.S.: Wi-Fi works through stock ROM. So no hardware issue.
Please, before flashing a custom ROM, make sure you installed the MIUI 12.0.4.0 Firmware Only because it is an essential to make WIFI and Calling Works...
Please be guided here on the tutorial created by @ManoloRey... It works smooth, no problems...
Better use OrangeFox as a recovery image...

Clean Flash 1. Flash recovery (latest Ofox 11.0 Beta - "Download" ). This is very important. 2. Reboot to recovery. 3. Dont wipe or format anything.. 4. Flash any custom roms you want. e.g. PE+. etc. Wait until complete. 5. Format data -> Yes. 6. Reboot to System. 7. Complete initial setup. 8...

To test, I followed the guide and installed this precise FW+Vendor image. Doing this, I cannot boot into a custom ROM (e.g. OctaviOS), at all. I repeated this test several times, to exclude possible installation errors. I did CLEAN flashes and installations. Still, it makes things worse. As already said, I can't even boot into the ROM.

Better just try another rom... They are all still AOSP and uses same kernel as NitrogenOS does. Better use EvoX or RR or Pixel Experience ROM... They're more polished and expect to also have great updates... Just wait for more stable Android 11 Custom Roms or just contact the OP of the OctaviOS for surya...

Even IF another ROM would work -- why doesn't this ROM work on my phone? What's so special about my phone? I have a plain brandnew POCO X3 NFC, like most others here. So why wouldn't it work? Does the firmware version have anything to do with it?
Every guide I read, explicitly recommends version "12.0.3". However, the newest version is already at version "12.0.4". Maybe this is causing the issue?

Maybe, have you also even tried installing fw 12.0.3? Because at the meantime, no developer has compiled the public kernel of poco x3 to their respective roms... They still use the kernel from the first miui rom... Idk whats really the difference on stock kernel vs the released kernel for surya because in my situation, everything works fine on installing roms. My device is surya, 6/64gb... Plain just like you... Idk why devs couldnt even fix this thing...
Sorry bro I can't help you with this, I'm just an ordinary kid being new to this stuff and have a little experience with this (still I'm a fast learner) because I only experienced much more customization on the Poco X3 than even other phones I have owned previously. I did not also learned coding (i was a rookie HTML coder past years but i forgotten it) like Java or scripts on Linux to compile and make compatible custom roms for phones... Peace
I did the following steps:
Flash "surya_global_images_V12.0.3.0.QJGMIXM_20200925.0000.00_10.0_global" with "MiFlash 2020.3.14.0".
Wipe Cache, Dalvik.
Flash "OctaviOS-v1.2-surya-20201109-2033-VANILLA-Official".
Flash "Magisk-v21.1".
Format Data.
Reboot into System.
Wi-Fi is working!!
Now only NikGapps is missing, but that is just booting into Recovery, flashing and booting back into System, so no problem here, anymore.
Thank you, @yan2xme! You say you are noob, but you had the right guess, too! Anyway, thanks for your help, I appreciate it!
P.S.: Boot-up is additionally much faster, smoother and without SystemUI crash on startup. This 12.0.4 firmware really sucks!

OSS Vendor + A11, how to switch? - POCO x3

Hi,
So i have been on arrow os for maybe 6 months now, i wanted to update to the latest build but it told me that i had to factory reset the phone to do so, so i thought lets try some other rom on the way, i flashed the pixel experience rom, then switched to the latest build of Arrow os.
Now since i am on arrow os OSS Vendor A11, i wanted to move back to pixel experience, i tried flashing it but it would not. I flashed evolution X and rebooted the system but i was back in recovery (bootloop), i cleaned data and flashed pixel experience (successfully this time) but i was again greeted by a bootloop.
I flashed arrow os back and it turned on the device into arrow os. How can i switch to any other non OSS rom? Is it possible without adb protocol or mi flash tool? What would be the way to do so?
Thanks
Download and flash any full MIUI recovery ROM. They include stock vendor and firmware.
Some custom ROMs require A10 firmware+vendor, some others need A11, so pick accordingly.
perform format data if you're encrypted, reboot to recovery, then flash any ROM of your choice.

Thanks for your answer. Last night i flashed dots rom on my phone after format data and my phone went into a bootloop and i was unable to flash back arrow os because recovery would say "unable to mount system/root" and 2 more errors like this. Anyways it took me like an hour to flash arrow back and boot up.
Can you give me link to the MIUI recovery rom?

Flashing this before flashing the rom would work?

Check your ROM requirements, for different ROMs need different firmware versions(see "Android" column on the website)
Usually the required firmware is written in the ROM description.
If you're not sure, you can always ask the ROM developer.
For the dot-OS ROM you are about to flash, I think it needs A10 firmware. CMIIW
