[ROM] Stock Oreo 8.1 With June Security Patch (OPM1.171019.019.V9.6.2.0.ODHMIFE) - Xiaomi Mi A1 Guides, News, & Discussion

Ladies and Gentlemen,
It is my pleasure to present the latest stock Oreo 8.1 (Beta) ROM for Xiaomi Mi A1. Up till now, only a handful of testers were able to use the stock beta 8.1
But now, everyone has the opportunity to use it on their device.
Disclaimer:
If you are planning to flash the ROM on your device, you are on your own. I would not be responsible if anything happens to your device. Your warranty will be void after flashing the ROM. You need to go back to stock stable ROM with a locked bootloader for Warranty.
Requirements:
1. Xiaomi Mi A1 (Ofcourse)
2. A PC (I am using Windows 7 here)
3. The ROM file (Available on the link below)
4. MiFlash Tool ( Link: http://en.miui.com/thread-345974-1-1.html ) (A big thanks to Miui forum for making the tool available on miui forum)
5. ADB Platform tool (Search on google)
6. Patience
Installation Process:
1. Download the ROM file from the given link and unzip it.
2. You will see a folder with name as tissot_images_V9.6.2.0.ODHMIFE_8.1
3. Keep it on C drive
4. Install MiFlash Tool on your PC from the given link
5. Set up ADB driver properly on your PC (It's very important)
6. Now go to your device and enable Developers option by tapping on Build Number 7 times.
6. Open Developers Option and enable "OEM Unlocking" and "USB Debugging" option.
7. Now press and hold the power button and Volume down button for about 10 seconds until you see a small bunny on the screen.
Now connect your device to your PC and open a command box and type fastboot oem unlock
8. Once the bootloader is unlocked, put your device in fastboot mode again and connect it to PC. (BE WARNED!!! if anyone is on May security patch, unlocking bootloader will erase everything from the device and device will restart again. You will need to unlock developers option again and enable "USB debugging" option once more)
9. Now open MiFlash Tool and see if it reads your device serial number by clicking on "Refresh". Now, select tissot_images_V9.6.2.0.ODHMIFE_8.1 and click on "Flash". Make sure you are doing it in a proper way.
10. Wait until you see a "Flash Done" message on the screen. It may take around 5-10 minutes. Once done, your device will boot into system and Congrats! Now you have Oreo 8.1 on your device with June security patch.
N.B. It is best that you select "Clean all and lock" option on MiFlash tool.
Flashing Guide For TWRP & Custom Kernel:
1. Grab the latest twrp recovery image (Oreo) and twrp installer zip file.
2. Put the recovery image in ADB folder and the installer zip in your device.
2. Boot your device into fastboot mode and connect it to the PC.
3. Make sure the bootloader is unlocker.
4. Open a command box and type fastboot boot xxx.img (xxx= recovery image name)
5. Once your device is boot into twrp, flash TWRP installer zip file and reboot back to recovery.
6. Now flash the custom kernel of your choice and Magisk (optional).
7. Reboot back to system.
Important Note:
If anyone has any problem understanding the steps, I would recommend that you google or search on Youtube. There are lots of Videos showing on how to flash stock ROM on MiFlash tool. Please don't blame me if you skip any step or do it wrong. I have shared the standard steps that remain the same for flashing both stable and beta rom. It is advised that you STAY AWAY if you don't know what you are doing. I am certainly not going to take any blame for improper flashing. As you have decided to flash the ROM, I expect you to have a little knowledge about how to use MiFlash tool. A lot of newbees have problem at first, especially when flashing rom on MiFlash tool. That's because of selecting and flashing the rom file in an improper way. You need to first learn exactly which folder to flash or else you will always end up on a bootloop. Please don't blame me for not spoon feeding you.
Bugs Encountered:
I have been using the ROM for two days and I am yet to find any bugs except ctsProfile shows as false and Google Play Store shows Uncertified.
*For better battery life, you can try Void kernel (Choose the stock version).

I apologize to all for breaking any possible XDA rule and hurting anyone here!! Please note that I am not getting paid for sharing this post here. If anyone still feels something bad, you can either let me know or you can report it to the admin. But again, I am extremely sorry for breaking any rule here.

It doesn't wipe data partition like what was happening on May security patch. And I haven't noticed any bug as of now. Some people said battery life is not that good. I can't comment on that as I use Void kernel.

Seems like a lot of people have some sort of issue with this post. First of all, this is not a custom rom and I didn't build it. So, if there is some sort of bugs on the ROM, that's not my fault. Second, yes I brought the file from somewhere else so that more people can use it. So, what is the problem here? Before you point your finger on me for a bootloop or bad battery life, you should read the disclaimer first. When you decide to do any experiment with your device, you should have a fair amount of knowledge of what you are doing. Before sharing the file on XDA, I flashed and tried it on my device and there was no bootloop or any other issue whatsoever.

If you just share a rom build by someone else, this is the wrong section of the forum to post it.
Too, you say (in op) you have permission from xiaomi to post it here in xda. This sounds unusual. Do you have any proof for this claim?

Thread cleaned.
Thread moved to the guides section where shared ROMs belong. The redirect from development section will expire in 24 hours.

hahahah oh wow
the best joke i ever seen
seriously
copyright to leaked build? hahaha i can't stop

Closed beta ROM, so no point in "allowing" you to share it. They could open beta and do it themselves.
I call fake news on that
You share a rom from another forum. Okay. It was already been shared in XDA by the original poster in 4pda.
I call this reposting in the same forum.
You state that the ROM isn't yours and you "share" it with other people on XDA. And then you say reposting is stealing? Didn't you repost it as well? For you is not stealing but for others is?
Conclusion: Are you that desperate for attention?

Is this the official beta rom?

Basically, looking for attention and thanks.
He has been doing this for every update even though there are other threads that are much better and more organized
He even claimed that he was in the beta program when 8.1 beta was leaked even though he was asking around on where to get beta update.
Rowdy, you should honestly stop making pointless threads that already exist and start being more respectful to other members
In his defense. This link is AFH, while still not wonderful, it is usually SOOOO much faster than the damn MIUI links. (at least in my experience)

Listen, this is the second time I am telling you not to be personal. If you don't like something, report it to the mods. XDA is not your personal property. So, you don't get to judge people here. I checked all the post for July OTA and then I posted it here. The particular post you are talking about, I checked it prior to creatingmine. He didn't have the ROM uploaded when I created my post. It's not my fault that he uploaded the July fastboot ROM without checking mine. I have already asked the mod to check both his and my post to see who uploaded the July fastboot ROM.

Are you sure that post has the July fastboot ROM? I checked his post prior to creating one. He didn't have the ROM uploaded. If you see both my and his post, you can see who edited the post later. It was he who posted the July fastboot ROM later. I have already asked the mod to check both his and mine post to see who uploded the post first. Till then, you may wanna stop being sarcastic.

And talking about attention and thanks, I am not going to be rich by getting a few thanks. You might have joined XDA for thanks, but I don't find any pleasure or point of getting thanks and attention on a software development community. You should think first before attacking someone. You might have forgotten about the "Report" option, but I didn't.

I checked all XDA post prior to posting mine. XDA gives you an option to check all similar posts while you are creating your post. I went to each post and checked if anyone had uploaded the July security patch.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi...-ota-links-t3718542/post74828108#post74828108 (I checked his post at first and when I created my post, he didn't have July fastboot ROM uploaded).
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/how-to/download-opr1-170623-026-9-5-4-february-t3758090 (This guy gave a headline of July fastboot ROM. But I didn't find V9.6.4.0.ODHMIFE anywhere on his post)
Now, it's not my fault if someone uploaded the July fastboot ROM after I posted it here. I don't know why some people act violently (not you) towards others.

Well, the warranty remains intact only if you use a miui based handset. But since Mi A1 runs on pure AOSP, Xiaomi doesn't provide any warranty after unlocking bootloader (confirmed with Xiaomi customer service).

Hi, yes you need the MiFlash tool as this is a fastboot ROM. And it is not necessary (but suggested) to wipe the internal storage. You can select your desired option on the MiFlash tool. If you want to keep your apps and data, you can select "Save user data" on MiFlash tool and flash the ROM.
we only need one thread about stock roms. Let's make it easier on everyone and keep all the info in the same thread.

[STOCK] Revert to stock Android One

Hi all,
To go along with our thread on installing official TWRP, we're adding a thread on reverting to stock as we've seen (and are working on) issues with installing GSIs post-TWRP.
I've created a post on Guava's support site that includes a link to the file and directions. The TL;DR is:
Download the file
Run the flash_all script
As always, please feel free to post questions/comments/concerns.
, Guava.
Thanks for all your support for Mi A2 Lite. Hope you sell a ton of units.
Regards
It does not boot anymore!
does anyone know if this stock version has a permissive or enforcing SElinux mode?
i am refering to this
because havoc install on top of this stock version leads to bootloops and at havoc they say:
if the rom doesnt boot then check your Selinux status not all devices have fully compatable vendors so you may have to switch to Permissive if the rom doesnt boot or any feature like wifi camera FP didnt work
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
By default any stock kernel should run in enforcing mode.
is it for V9.6.6?
can i flash it on v9.6.6 build number? if not please give me the link for this version

site link is broken. pls, relink or give instruction here
On Guava's site there is nothing explaining how to revert to stock factory image for Daisy.
This, coupled with plenty of posts on the TWRP official thread for Daisy from people complaining about instructions for flashing twrp not being clear, and even (at least) one guy with a hard bricked phone, I think requires a bit of clarification.
Understand we all do this at our own risk, but if a clear and (possibly) safe procedure exists, please do share that.
I thought sharing was fundamental to the community.
Thanks!

[Recovery] TWRP for the Nubia Z18(NX606J)

Hey,
youyim123 recently made his TWRP build available that I was trying to compile myself. So without further ado, here is a more or less working TWRP for the Nubia Z18 with instructions of how to install it.
Link to recovery.img
How to install it:
Boot into bootloader using
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Unlock the bootloader using
Code:
fastboot oem nubia_unlock NUBIA_NX606J
Flash the recovery.img using
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
IMPORTANT! Navigate to "reboot to emergency recovery mode". Do not use
Code:
fastboot reboot recovery
as it might not work correctly!
I found disconnecting the device from USB to be more reliable, so do that for stability
If it gets stuck, repeat steps 1 and 4. No need to reflash, just be patient
Language will be Chinese, so change that by using the settings button (second from below on the right)
That's it, you have a working TWRP now Enjoy!
EDIT: DO NOT TRY FLASHING MAGISK AS IT WILL DAMAGE DM-VERITY AND YOU'LL HAVE TO BOOT RESCUE YOUR DEVICE! YOU CAN USE MY recovery script in the bloat remover thread to fix your device
In case you get stuck in a bootloop, repeat the installation guide, then use
Code:
adb push stock.zip /data/media/0
and reflash stock firmware as a last resort until a custom ROM is available.
All credit for this goes to youyim123 and his amazing work! I know he struggled releasing this because his work is often used or redirected without his consent or giving him credit, so I'm grateful he decided to release it.
*reserved*

In theory, yes. In practice, it somehow doesn't give me any GApps when flashing it. I'm trying to cooperate with the OpenGapps team to fix this.

It is stable. Just make sure to unplug your phone after flashing it as otherwise it will probably get stuck after a few seconds. If you need to have your device connected to your pc, do the following:
Start adb sideload in TWRP, connect your phone to your pc, stop sideload. That way you have a working connection with adb again
Hope this helps!

i read somewhere in Nubia forums (chinese language), some dev is going to release TWRP for Z18, but it need poll to decide.
So that, i dont know this version on XDA is official or unofficial ? And as you said, if it is stable, so can i flash Gaap package to get full Goolge and service for Z18? have you tried ?
Already try few weeks ago, not working...!
The only temperary solution is "Google Space", or just wait for the global version release
As one Dev which working on LOS fot this machine point out that Lineage is very hard to compile since there's no other Dev help him, the System is block by something call AVB2...pretty ironic as this twrp not even let us using Magisk at all!

i read somewhere in Nubia forums (chinese language), some dev is going to release TWRP for Z18, but it need poll to decide.
So that, i dont know this version on XDA is official or unofficial ? And as you said, if it is stable, so can i flash Gaap package to get full Goolge and service for Z18? have you tried ?

Please read the first post precisely and then the post in the nubia forum again. Youyim is the guy who made the poll and he made it public. I simply brought it to a wider audience and link to his official GitHub for the img.
You cannot flash Gapps with this because it errors. I said so a couple of times before and would appreciate a bit of effort reading before asking. You probably spent more time on writing this than you would've reading the first three post entries here, disregarding the fact that I'm trying to reply in detail. It's all in the first post, please read that before asking next time..
To sum up:
- It's the "official" TWRP from youyim, all credit goes to him
- You can not install Gapps with this, I haven't found a resolution for this but am working on an alternative. See my other thread or post #3 here

It's the same dev I'm the guy working on LineageOS as well and yes AVB2 (Basically think of it as Android's answer to secure boot on Computers) is a pain in the a** to deal with. Compiling itself is rather easy compared to the pain that comes after it, it's just killing lots of time and I unfortunately don't have that with a full time job. That's why I tried getting more people involved but (again) failed apparently.
TWRP doesn't have anything to do with Magisk either. Magisk is modifying the boot partition as far as I'm aware (don't hate me topjohnwu) and it relies on either no AVB/DM-Verity or a flag that doesn't work here either. TWRP in contrast just modifies/overrides the boot partition and is (mostly) used to flash many things including Magisk.
I think Z18 not have a global version, so we'll never see international firmware for this product. The only way I hope is some one or some dev support official method for install Google. And hope good news come soon.
Thanks all!

Isn't a global release coming in like 2 weeks or something? At least that's what I read last time I checked
I can tell you an official method. Root your phone and rewrite google services to system. Otherwise wait until developers can take a look at Rom building like I do now or even better, get involved. Being a one man show isn't helping the cause even if you have a couple spectators because it makes you feel more or less like a monkey in a cage

https://www.gadgetsnow.com/mobile-phones/Nubia-Z18 for instance. India isn't global lol. They mostly just buy masses of phones and then resell. And yeah I can understand they won't release a global version anytime soon. The phone is great but looking at the source code, it's horrible. I even had to submit a patch so they get their build fixed!
As for the download, try the second one. Baidu is blocking anything non China by now afaik. It will also be included in the LineageOS ROM whenever I'll get that done..

How To Install Pixel Experience ROM on Poco F1 with automated batch file

This thread is old. And I don't think I'll have time to update it so... rip. XD
Hello!
I am new in the xda developer community and wish to help others!
So I made a program (batch file) to do most of the commands in adb and fastboot to install TWRP and Pixel Experience on Poco F1.
It's really easy. Unfortunately the program only works on windows. I will also post a youtube video soon to show how to use it.
Disclaimer: I am not responsible to any harm done to your device (software and/or hardware). Please use the program with care.
This tool is made to help people who doesn't understand commands to flash Pixel Experience on their Pocophone F1.
Poco F1 Tool (Might not be up to date) : drive.google.com/open?id=1eMW--ryJc_rAnzsZjBPUkL0jsQOe1Ykt
YouTube video how to install: youtu.be/besm07mYCeI
Step by step guide:
Before everything, make sure that you have usb debugging enabled as well as OEM unlocking on the pocohpone f1 --> youtube.com/watch?v=VTQYl_d-FGg
after that make sure that you have ADB Drivers installed on your computer. (it comes with the file Install PE on Poco F1.7z)
1. Unlock bootloader with Mi Flash unlock.
to unlock the bootloader you need to create a Mi account. --> account.xiaomi.com/pass/register?&_locale=en
Unlocking the bootloader will erase all data on the phone
The 1st command in the POCO F1 Tool helps you unlock the bootloader.
To help the process go smoothly remove PIN/Password/Pattern and fingerprints.
The only thing you need to do is to connect your mi account on your phone and have a sim card in it.
You do not need to download anything else as they are already included with this tool.
After you connected your mi account on your phone, you can now proceed by opening the tool and pressing the key 1 to open the miflash unlock program.
If needed press allow on your Pocophone f1
Your phone should be in fastboot mode.
The miflash unlock program will open and simply connect your mi account on it.
Then press on unlock bootloader (in the program).
The first time will not work and a wait time of 72 hours (or less) is needed.
Come back when the time is done!
Use option 4 to reboot your phone to the system.
2. Install TWRP Recovery on POCO F1.
This option will install TWRP Recovery on POCO F1 and make you able to install Pixel Experience ROM.
Make sure that you do not have a PIN/Password/Pattern and also make sure that you have usb debugging enabled as well as OEM unlocking.
This option will send a file to use in TWRP (disableforceencryption_treble.zip) and TWRP Recovery (recovery.img).
You will see TWRP logo (teamwin). When you see the logo watch this video: youtu.be/nWV9YCg67fo?t=148
Allow modification.
Wipe --> format data.
home.
Reboot --> Recovery.
IGNORE THE PART WHERE HE SENDS FILE TO PHONE IT IS ALREADY DONE.
Make sure all partitions are enabled.
back.
Install --> DisableForceEncryption.zip.
Swipe to confirm flash.
home.
Reboot --> Recovery.
Reboot --> System.
Reconfigure device and make sure that you have usb debugging and oem unlocking enabled.
3. Install PixelExperience on POCO F1.
This option sends the file to flash Pixel Experience in TWRP recovery.
This will only send the file to flash.
You need to flash Pixel Experience in TWRP.
Watch this video: youtu.be/HCfjha3hqhA?t=268
Wipe --> Advanced Wipe.
select Dalvik/ART Cache, Cache, System and Data
Swipe to Wipe.
home.
Install --> vendor-firmware.zip
Swipe to confirm flash.
home.
Install --> PixelExperience_beryllium-9.0-OFFICIAL.zip
Swipe to confirm flash.
Reboot system.
Done! You have succesfully installed Pixel Experience on POCO F1!
If you have any questions feel free to ask me!

I have updated the thread. There is a vague step-by-step guide on how to install it. The video is also there to help.
Hello, thank you very much for your tool. I am going to try it since me Poco arrived today. I would like to ask - will this guide install the CAF version? Since it is better than AOSP as I have heard. Thanks.

Sadly, no. But you can change it by downloading PixelExperience CAF and renaming it --> PixelExperience_beryllium-9.0-OFFICIAL.zip and put it in the folder platform-tools (replace the existing PixelExperience_beryllium-9.0-OFFICIAL.zip by the CAF edition and rename it the same) . It should do the work.

Normally, I wouldn't answer this since you've a follow-up without waiting 24 hrs but you can't expect help when we don't know what you did. Details are important. What order did you flash and specifically, what did you flash. Version numbers are important. Saying the latest does not cut it.
Ok...it worked out...I figured out...the problem was with my dfe( without magisk)...I got it from the telegram grp......I formatted my data...and flashed w/o dfe...it booted in no time...but still thanks for the help...
Sorry...

Sorry I don't think I can help you beacuse this thread is for flashing android 9. I suggest you go back to stock firmware and try ro re-flash without any custom kernel or stuff like that. I don't think this thread will help you. Again Sorry

custom rom question

Hi im just new in this kind of stuffs and i dont know where to start.
Base on others said that its better to use custom rom than miui
I am afraid that i might brick my phone thats why i afraid to do it.
Im currenty playing wild rift and so far, for the past weeks im experiencing FPS drop which is so annoying.
So whats the most stable custom rom you can recomend?
and just in case something wrong happened. can i still revert it back to miui?
any topic or thread you can link in comments would be really appreciated.
thanks
I haven't done that for long so I can't give you an accurate answer, but if you brick your phone you should be able to unbrick it using Mi FlashTool. Example here: https://www.technobuzz.net/xiaomi-unbrick-guide. I've never had completely bricked a phone even though I did take very very bad decisions. And yes custom roms are lighter than MIUI. Try to find a step by step tuto.
so where should i start?
any thread you can link?
Some will say this is outdated, but I still find it a good starting point: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/4196271/ (especially this step-by-step guide: https://telegra.ph/How-to-install-Poco-x3-ROM-10-14; unless your preferred ROM developer tells you otherwise -- if unsure, always follow dev instructions).
After that, you could maybe proceed with the Index: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/4176491/.

custom rom don't destroy/brick your fone, its
a) wrong kernel or right kernel taken from unpopular source (telegram groups etc)
b) flashing error due to cable or otg failure!
where to start?
1. download miui unlocker, on windows pc/laptop
2. from developer option miui12, link miui account (which you must've already signed in to, )
3. don't use wifi, use 4g sim to link account in developer options
4. shutdown device and goto fastboot mode by pressing volume downd+power button for 10+ seconds untill u see fastboot and BOT
5. runn miui unlocker and attach cable, sign in to your miui account. it will verify and give you one week waiting time! , DONOT TOUCH ANYTHING IN THE SETTINGS OR MIUI ACCOUNT NOW. after one week, unlock the device (take backup before)
6. flash recovery
7. flash rom ( i would suggest RR8.0 or HAVOC) , if you want android 11, then go for Crdroid!
8. flash google apps / or nick apps IF the rom doesn't have it!
9. keep oem firmware 90mb file handy! sometimes o translate programming language the script requires latest Fw. , you can download it from xiaomifirmwaredownloader site!
10. flash magisk if you want rooted poco
11. reboot!
