How can I get my xiaomi mi a2 back to normal? - Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers

I rooted my phone but didn't really like it while having my banking apps on it. So I tried to get back to normal but ended up wiping everything, even the OS, off of my phone. I am trying to get it back to normal. I followed one guide on here which gave me an android 10 ROM but I was unable to update it to the latest version. The link for that guide is: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2/how-to/guide-official-stock-android-10-t4033835. I didn't install the force encrypt or the magisk because I don't wanna root it. I just want it back to how it was before the root. So I am wondering if there is a way that I can get back to normal now. Thanks in advance for any advice.

well what is the problem ? if it booted and you didn't flash magisk you are on stock. ...what exactly do you want ? to lock the bootloader or remove twrp custom recovery too ?

The ROM was an earlier version of android 10. But I am unable to install the latest updates for android 10 OTA. It's working but I would like to be able to receive updates again. If there is another ROM that would give me those results I would be fine with flashing that too.

the most likely issue is your recovery ... take the stock recovery from a fastboot stock rom and flash that with fastboot
also make sure to flash stock rom in both slot A & B then updates will work
go to this website
https://www.getdroidtips.com/xiaomi-mi-a2-stock-firmware/
download a PIE stock rom that is a FASTBOOT version ... download miflash ...follow instructions to flash it using miflash in fastboot mode
then boot & set it up ...it will start offering updates by itself
your problem right now is that you flashed stock rom in only one slot and you have a custom recovery so that is why it can't update

So I downloaded a fastboot file from here :https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2/how-to/fastboot-xiaomi-mi-a2-fastboot-images-t3824849
The miui flash program wouldn't work for me. On the website you linked me there was a method that used twrp to flash it. But when use twrp I can't see any of the zip files in twrp. I've tried three different ones from the link I just shared here. Not sure what the problem is.

Wrong firmware/bootloader verision, CyanogenMod already installed.

HEEELP!
I downloaded CyanogenMod (11) but I've got wrong firmware.
I cannot update firmware tried MicroSD (T4_SDUPDATE.zip), tried 2 go back 2 stock (Stock recovery.img+ jb-4.3_ota-full_tf701t-macallan.zip), nothing works.
I got firmware ww_epad-10.26.1.7 , need atleast 2 be on bootloader/firmware version 10.26.1.18 or higher!
I really need your help.
If your computer can detect the tablet in fastboot mode then you should be able to flash an image. If not then oops! You need to download the latest WW firmware from the ASUS website and flash it with your computer...

Well Thanks. I've alredy tried 2 download the lastest WW firmware (10.26.1.18 SKU renamed it T4_SDUPDATE.zip) and even tried via MicroSD card. I've also tried 2 "go back" - stock recovery - 2 update my bootloader/firmware, did not work either. (Used jb-4.3_ota-full_tf701t-macallan.zip + stock recovery.img).
Iam wondering if it might be my MicroSD card, do you need 2 format microSD to FAT32? Will it make so much difference?
Very grateful for any help, feels like I've tried everything.
To update your bootloader on your www region tab:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61045480&postcount=2
I believe that will flash TWRP along with it (you can boot CWM to flash it).
If you want to put back the stock recovery after flash, fastboot flash recovery recovery.img using the latest stock recovery from droidbasement. You can also flash in the latest CWM (from droidbasement) if you like, if you are intending to stay with CM11.

Reflashing MIUI and stock recovery?

Hey so if this has been covered elsewhere please let me know, but I'm hoping to revert back from my Nougat rom to MIUI8 and return to the standard recovery.
What is the correct procedure for this? Can I just flash the MIUI8 rom with TWRP?
Thanks in advance people.

Obviously you can't flash MIUI with TWRP if you are on CM or some other custom ROM. You need miflash.

Thanks heaps mate, so seems like the procedure is as follows:
gaz090 said:
Yeah first time I did this I hard bricked the phone. This is the process I use now:
1) Download MiFlash
2) Download Mi5 Fastboot ROM that you want to use
3) Reboot phone into Fastboot
4) Put phone into EDL using the command "fastboot oem edl" (without quotes)
5) Launch MiFlash - it should detect it as a COM device. Flash the ROM you downloaded earlier.
6) Once it's done, you'll be back to original MIUI. Be aware that this also flashes the recovery too, so you'll need to reinstall TWRP if you want to use it.

I'm going to souce MiFlash and the latest fastboot ROM from here: http://en.miui.com/a-234.html
Just an update, the procedure above worked perfectly.
I am now running MAAMIDI with stock recovery.
Thankss heaps for the help Nbkdnssr!

Thank you very much now It works, but I want to ask you: Why can not i enter in recovery Mode? I tried the power on and volume down combination, but the phone enter only fastboot mode with "oplus verification failed" message. If I do a factory reset under the Android, the phone load the recovery, until resetting.

Question Stuck in a boot loop, can't load recovery

Picked one of these up on the weekend and was looking at going to linageos.
patched upto latest, and went through the linage install steps but missed the step on after installing the bootloader unlock software going into options and unlocking.
Went ahead and installed the linage recovery but now just get a basic screen with options of
START
RESTART BOOTLOADER
RECOVERY MODE
POWER OFF
All options loop me around back to the same place.
trying to start, ends me up with a your device is corrupt message.
I've been trying to get it back to factory.
QPST and QFIL can't see the device.
i can see the device in fastboot.
have downloaded latest firmware.
extracted using payload_dumper
no recovery.img on there.
updated the boot.img, vendor_boot.img dtbo.img from Question - My Asus Zenfone 8 flip is STUCK in CSC FASTBOOT MODE PLZ HELP!, RAW FIRMWARE ANYONE??? | XDA Forums
but no luck as there is no recovery.img in the firmware package.
Any ideas?
Somewhere there was FW update (at least I remember .115) to downgrade from beta A12 to .115FW (android 11). And it could help you I hope. At least you can try.
Yeah all is not lost. Etract and run this to get you back to factory stock. If you can't connect with fastboot, it's a driver issue and you'll just have Google it and pay around until you get the driver right.
Firmware I'm on would be WW-30.12.112.62 i think
is that android 11?

I was once stuck in a bootloop after flashing a custom rom and did a fresh install of official firmware.
Go to this website https://www.asus.com/Content/Android-12-Beta/ and scroll down to "How to opt-out and revert back to Android 11" section. There you can download the firmware file and a 3 step instruction.
By doing so I was able to bring back my phone.
The version of the firmware is from 2021/09/03 (WW-30.11.51.115) so you just need to update to newest release and everything should be fine.

Question Stuck in fastboot after trying to install PixelExperience :(

Hey everyone
I recently got this phone and went through the bootloader unlock process.
I then tried to follow the instructions on this page https://wiki.pixelexperience.org/devices/rosemary/install/ to get this rom installed but somehow ****ed it up.
Everything went well until I tried to flash the recovery img from this page: https://get.pixelexperience.org/rosemary (i downloaded the 13 plus recovery img).
I flashed the img via fastboot but after that I got stuck in fastboot. The phone is stuck in a bootloop when I try to reboot into recovery or normal boot. The only thing I can get back into is fastboot.
Would really appreciate any help to get the phone working again. Im not new to android custom roms but Im new to xiaomi phones and Im a little lost
Thanks.
OK nevermind I successfully got the phone booting again with miflash tool by reflashing an official firmware...
Greetings!
You can install the rom via adb sideload too. Put on some random recovery (see my tutorial here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/twrp-on-android-12.4522273/), and start adb sideload.
Then,
adb sideload insert_package_name.zip

Did u make sure ur on Miui 12.5.16.0.RKLMIXM?
I'm also having similar problem and circumstance, may I ask where did you find the official firmware and/or recovery img for the Redmi note 10s

Greetings!
As this phone has an MTK processor, we don't really have a recovery image, it's stored in the boot img I suppose. That link, you can download the official rom to this. DISCLAIMER: There are two types of ROMs listed here, one type is fastboot, that you need now in order to flash it through a computer for example. The another type is the recovery rom, that you can flash from recovery like a magisk package, or anything flashable zip, or with adb sideload.
https://mifirm.net
You should choose global if you are in Europe, but it's suitable for devices in the US or USA probably, ony feature differences are here between an EEA and Global rom.
Also, if you install pixel experience recovery, you can install the firmware by going into recovery, and do it via sideload. Or, you can try flashing the rom with TWRP (tutorial linked below), but then you won't able to install updates automatically.
One question: Did you checked in OEM unlocking in developer options before flashed PE?
Hope it helps!
Yeah, I did checked the oem unlocking. I think the reason why i failed because my bootloader probably updated and I forgot to check. You need bootloader version 12.5.16.0.RKLMIXM to install the pixel experience. Also thank for help
Greetings!
You can install the rom via adb sideload too. Put on some random recovery (see my tutorial here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/members/gurtnyi.11842195), and start adb sideload.
Then,

Can I do that on newer firmware or should I roll back to version 12.5.16.0.RKLMIXM? And if I roll back then I need to unlock device again?
I think you can. I've flashed it successfully on the latest version too. Currently I don't use PE but it was good for me.
Well, regarding to the unlock, it's not a big deal, you don't have to wait 168h again, once you've firstly unlocked your device, you can re-unlock it again, and again, no matter how many times, you don't have to wait a lot again.
But depending on how you rollback it,
I mean, with xiaomi flasher (i think that's its name) you can choose between clean all and lock, save userdata, and clean all, but in the first case, it'll lock back the bootloader. With SP flash tool (if you need, I can provide a link for the modified version of it, that doesn't require an auth file, but if fails, you need a python script, I can link that too), as I remember it won't lock back the device, but I'm not a 100% sure
Hope it helps!

Happy to hear that!
By the way, yes, pe recovery is better for sideloading, or eventually any not stock recovery. Also, if you install PE recovery, you can apply updates automatically, and in the future you won't need to flash it manually.
