Remove ARB from Android One images? - Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers

Here's the Android 8 Oreo image for the Mi A2 Lite:
bigota.d.miui.com/V9.6.11.0.ODLMIFF/daisy_global_images_V9.6.11.0.ODLMIFF_20181112.0000.00_8.1_8028e3bf1c.tgz
And here's the Android 9 Pie image:
bigota.d.miui.com/V10.0.13.0.PDLMIXM/daisy_global_images_V10.0.13.0.PDLMIXM_20190813.0000.00_9.0_5d0d486f04.tgz
Currently I am running the Oreo image. Not sure if that's important, but "anti" is blank and "rollback_ver" is "1".
As far as I understand, if I were to flash the Android 9 image, I would not be able to go back to Android 8, correct?
I know that xiaomi.eu images have ARB removed, but I don't think they have the Android One images.
Can I remove ARB from the above image myself?

Is it simpler to write a question than search and read answers?
I am sure that "fastboot getvar anti" returns "1" in MiA2 stock AndroidOne Oreo, Pie and Q.
ARB is initiated > 1 for MiA2 when someone flashes MIUI ports without substituting corresponding fiiles in ROM image.

In fact it is not. I did a quite extensive search before I asked the question. Unfortunately I found no post that answers my questions. I read something about removing the "firmware-update" directory, but my images don't have that to begin with. Most guides I found refer to MIUI images (and usually start with the Mi Unlock Tool) and don't seem to apply to Android One images (where the bootloader can simply be unlocked with fastboot) either.

It's a Mi A2 lite running the Oreo image from above and I have attached a screenshot of its fastboot answers.

That's my question: Which files I have to substitute in the images?

If you did a quite extensive search before you asked the question, you would know that only miui have arb, not android one, so no need to delete anything if you want to go back to older versions.

Ah, that's great. I found some confusing information, that's why I asked.
For example this guy tries to flash an Android One image after he was using a different one (he doesn't say which one) and gets bitten by ARB:
xiaomi.eu/community/threads/how-can-i-recovery-the-bricked-xiaomi-mi-a2.53447/
Also as I read, with Android 9 ARB is mandatory while the bootloader is locked, so it wasn't clear to me if Xiaomi uses the same ARB mechanism for that.

Will A2 be under Anti-Rollback policy??

You all know that, now Mi phones will have anti rollback features while upgrading to MiUi 10.
Though A2 is stock androud, will it face any such kinds of restrictions somehow??
There is good post describing rollback policy in Android. Mi A2 was released with Android Oreo, so we need someone with phone who will check support of Verified Boot using adb commands provided in post:
Code:
adb shell
dumpsys package | grep "verified_boot"
OR
Code:
adb shell
getprop | grep "avb"

I suppose that means no Verified Boot. Try another command, just in case.

tried both, same result
Enter fastboot.
Type "fastboot getvar anti".
If none, the phone is not under Anti-Rollback policy.
If 2 or 3, it is under ARP, but is not yet activated.
If 4 or above, it is surely under ARP, and is already activated.

Be sure to check it before downgrading. Upgrading is okay.
Didn't see this thread (need to del the one I started just now), but yeah, mine also says '2'.
Sad to see that, didn't think the A2 would have this.
I was on V9.6.10.0, installed the OTA update (v9.6.12.0), tried to root with Majisk and things gone wrong. So, I flashed v9.6.10.0 again.
This counts as a downgrade?

Not sure, but knowing they've implemented this on the A2, I'd be ** extremely ** cautious. If it bricks, sounds like a serious pia to fix.
Boot to fastboot and type 'fastboot getvar anti'. If you get a number back, then it's been implemented on your phone. If you get nothing back then it's not yet implemented. It's possible this was just introduced?
If you flashed 9.6.10 successfully, try above command and see if it's implemented in that version.
That 2, 3, 4 is just the counter. Once you unlock the bootloader, ARB should be off in Android One phones.

From the Frequently Asked Questions at the bottom of said article:
<quote> Why doesn’t Xiaomi disable anti-rollback protection when you unlock the bootloader?
That’s a good question. </quote>
In Other Words: the article indicates it does not disable ARB after an unlock. Where do you get that it's disabled on their Android One devices? Because the article doesn't say that. I certainly hope it's true though.
Maybe someone with an unlocked bootloader can verify the fastboot query does not return a number?

From here:
"The biggest difference between Google and Xiaomi’s implementation is that Google’s anti-rollback protection is disabled if you unlock the bootloader while Xiaomi’s can’t be disabled. Once you install a build with anti-rollback protection enabled on a Xiaomi device, there’s no going back.

I have a mobile Mi A2 that does not exit from the edl mode and this is due to the installation of the ROM Mi 6X and urged that when I tried to restore it to the original ROM on Android, and if I repeatedly tried to restore it in more than one way, but to no avail, it does not exit from the edl mode even if before flashing

your problem is you can't return to mi A2 jasmine android 1 ..NEVER AGAIN ..you can only flash LATEST stock MIUI rom fastboot via miflash when edl ...or you can use custom rom after recovering phone ..search for my other posts on how to do it .

Do Xiaomi.eu Roms have ARB removed or not?

I have a MI A2 converted to MI6x (wayne).
Everyone who mentions miui roms Always says "remove the Firmware Folder to remove arb protection".
in the Xiaomi.eu Forum it states that arb is removed in their roms but they still include the Firmware Folder
https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/do-eu-roms-remove-anti-rollback.47145/
This gets now a bit confusing:
1) Is the Firmware Folder just for installing ARB or does it also add bugfixes?
2) Do Xiaomi.eu roms for the MI6X (wayne) add ARB protection or not
What be great if someone could answer both Questions.
Thanks
What I always do is remove the firmware folder no matter if ROM says ARB removed or not.
What I do instead is flash the non-arb firmware myself.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/xiaomi-firmware-updater/
Go over to files -> non-arb -> select build -> wayne
This way you are always on the safe site

Thanks for you reply but there is still the question about the firmware folder in general.
Does it also contain fixes or just brings arb protection?
Did you find an answer to your original question? As it has been a few months and I still cannot find one and clear answer myself.

First time I flashed, I removed the firmware update folder. And consequent updates from xiaomi.eu, I've downloaded and flashed or used OTA without deleting any folders. I haven't fallen into the ARB trap. I was using miui for about 4 months at a stretch from xiaomi.eu so I've flashed multiple beta releases.
ARB
fastboot flash antirbpass dummy.img
you have to flash dummy/unlock every time you go into fastboot, or ARB will block your commands

[OP6T][LATEST 10.3.8] Collection of unbrick tools

Disclaimer: By attempting any of the processes listed in this thread you accept full responsibility for your actions. I will not be held responsible if your device stops working, catches fire, or turns into a hipster and claims to have been modified before it was cool.
Hi everyone, similar to my threads for OP3, OP3T, OP5, OP5T and OP6 as unbrick tools allow to (obviously) unbrick your phone but also to rollback to specific versions of Oxygen OS I decided to search for more and succeeded in that.
I linked to 9.0.11 , 9.0.6 and 9.0.5 packages shared by @iaTa in his thread and by @SpasilliumNexus in his AFH here, rest has been found and shared by me.
As the instructions and Qualcomm drivers are already available here , I don't feel a need to rewrite them.
You can ask questions here on how to use and issues, however I might not be able to answer immediately.
Here are the files uploaded on AndroidFileHost ordered by Android version:
ANDROID 9:
OOS 9.0.4
OOS 9.0.5
OOS 9.0.6
OOS 9.0.11
OOS 9.0.12
OOS 9.0.13

ANDROID 10:
OOS 10.3.0
OOS 10.3.2

Notes for T-Mobile version owners:
It is possible to use Pie EDL packages with patched tool made by @AnonymousTipster available at https://drive.google.com/open?id=1dYuVxnf_J97KPrRt6KEBOjau1BRvtnJQ (download link come from his thread ).
According to @fullofhell , the commands "fastboot erase modemst1" and "fastboot erase modemst2" will turn off SIM lock definitely and allow OEM unlock option to stop being greyed out in developer options (behaviour introduced in OOS versions superior to 9.0.11). That will allow to unlock bootloader and then root/flash custom roms.

Decrypted meaning no longer protected by passwords sorry for the confusion but if you take a look at the previous threads I made you might notice that some of the files are still password protected as OnePlus support don't give you these files already decrypted when they remote to your computer to help you to unbrick your phone -which is quite understandable as they allow to bypass Google Factory Reset Protection-.

As far as I know OnePlus doesn't provide any open beta msm tool. Anon tipsters patched msm factory.exe will indeed work however as written here 9.0.11 version must be used if user wish to unlock bootloader as later versions of OOS closed the loophole that allowed T-Mobile owners to do so

Ok just wondering about the beta. Through my extensive testing the past few months I discovered No, they only patched the loophole if one has not first converted then did fastboot erase modemst1 then fastboot erase modemst2.. then the thing that causes oem unlock to be greyed for users using msm 12 and up is disabled. Those commands turn off sim lock in the hardware.once that is done one time. Users can simply copy the patched msm exe to every new additional msm tool directory. After erasing those both at least one time after a first conversion with 9.011, u can have the device fully international and every tool allows it to work. I discovered the greying out and disabling of oem unlock starting with 9.0.12 and discussed it in various threads and people didn't pay attention to it lol. Erasing modemst1 and modemst2 simply turns off the lock. For good. Then if u check engineer mode it says sim lock off and that's even if u never used a bin. This supercedes that even. So maybe update the first post to include that is a confirmed way to cement your conversion without the issue of simlock and a voiding of the 9.0.11 bootloader unlock workaround. This is permanent and once u do so any msm furthermore works to allow bootloader unlock

If u haven't fixed yet, your partitions are derped. Power off and run msm. Or just run a fastboot rom to fix. When that happens just msm, it's the quickest. And if u do as I explained above u can just use the newest msm and not have to upgrade..

Just to be sure, that engineer mode can be accessed from *#808# and SIM lock section is when swiping to the right, in "Others column"? It is like that on my 5T (see screenshot) but I don't know if it's same on a converted 6T

The step is very easy, fallow this guide to unlock and flash twrp: https://forum.xda-developers.com/bl...ckshark-3-3-pro-3s-unlock-bootloader-t4141537
After unlock and flash twrp, make sure to logout your Mi Account.
Go to TWRP> backup > select all box (don't select data user and EFS) wait the proccess finish. After finish, go to PC plug the device, copy your twrp folder to your pc, compact it with winrar and upload it. Share with us.
With this way we can get legit global rom for BS3 (normal version).

Maybe no one will do because they could be afraid of getting bricked or afraid of not receiving ota updates anymore. If only bs team will share it (and not sell), we won't have this problem. Now I hope they fail spectacularly on the next update or in JoyUI12 so they wont have a choice but to release full rom over ota. Imagine that.
the method is very easy ;-; , sad
I would love to dump my rom, but the thing is, this TWRP recovery won't guarantee the safety of my device. I just bought this and I check the link and the files that were put in there, I'm not sure if I should risk flashing a modified TWRP created by an unknown dev, I also would not risk flashing a Chinese TWRP recovery not knowing the compatibility of Global devices to CN ones. You're right, it is easy as point click and type commands, but the risk is high also and bricking the phone is too easy too. I hope Blackshark really opens up on devs like what Asus is doing on their ROG3. This would make their device a lot more famous, allowing developers collaborate with each other. If I can't figure out a safe way to root and install custom recovery at least in the next few months, I might sell this device, too bad this has serious hardware that can rival flagships but, it's a deal breaker for us not to have custom recovery backups and rooting too. Ecosystem is too restrictive. I dunno what these chinese folks were thinking when they made this device.

I hope Blackshark really opens up on devs like what Asus is doing on their ROG3. This would make their device a lot more famous, allowing developers collaborate with each other. If I can't figure out a safe way to root and install custom recovery at least in the next few months, I might sell this device, too bad this has serious hardware that can rival flagships but, it's a deal breaker for us not to have custom recovery backups and rooting too. Ecosystem is too restrictive. I dunno what these chinese folks were thinking when they made this device.

don't have error. If you would want revert back for stock recovery, just lock your bootloader again and it will revert back for original system.

Yours is a CN Model. Mine isn't, this is Global already. I haven't studied the phone differences yet so I can't comment too much, I'll have to check how to get stock images to revert to original system. There's no known downloadable image right?

There's none. But you have it on your phone. And if you know how, maybe you can pull it.

Camera stuck - reverting to MIUI

Currently I am on Evolution X latest build and today my camera was opened but it won't close.
Now since my phone is under warranty I want to claim it.
How do I revert back to MIUI, unroot the device and remove TWRP. Please help me.
Regards
flash fastboot rom and u will revert back to stock miui unrooted.
^^ Do I need to download MIUI package or simply that command alone will work?
If yes please guide to resources I have Indian variant of K20 Pro.

"Flash fastboot rom" was a sentence/direction/hint what you have to do, not a (fastboot) command
I think there is a detailed guide in the Guides section. Otherwise, you need to google about MiFlash, install to the PC, read how to use, find on xiaomifirmwareupdater an appropriate tgz/fastboot rom for your device.
I'm not on Pro, not on Indian, cannot guide you more than as above, where to start googling/reading/learning
^^ Thanks for the clarification.
I downloaded latest rom from https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/raphaelin/ I tried both recovery and fastboot version.
I flashed the rom using twrp (is that right?) but nothing happens and devices reboots itsefl into recovery. What am I doing wrong?
I am also unable to locate the guide to revert back. Plus I am on Linux so that windows too might now work.
Edit - The guides mention flashing magisk. But I don't want to root as I have to claim warranty. What do I do now?
Edit 2 - I flashed magisk root but still not able to boot. It reverts back to recovery.

I wrote you to google about and to use Mi Flash, not TWRP.
Besides, I don't know if they have Linux version.
