Thank you. Kind of newbe to this, will I loose root by flashing that rom? Will bootloader be locked again? Should I take the original or developer rom?
Again, thx

yes you have to root again. make sure to flash right after u flash any rom(global,dev)
global will be better dont go for dev.
it doesnt re-lock bootloader but if it does unlocking is easy

Easy?,Can you tell us how to unlock bootloader if not having to wait? Been looking for a guide for ages. Can you do it on global rom or only china?

if you've unlocked once
unlocking again is nt a pain
applied ,got permission in a day
unlock took a week.
i've even unlocked with find device off on a global rom.

Guide for Safe installation of any custom rom on your stock rom mobile

Installation Steps (Warranty can be restored whenever you wish)
-------------------------
Before starting your rom flashing journey it is always better to have Flashtool (latest -by androxyde) installed in your PC and your stock rom handy ; incase of any mishappenings.
Type *#*#7378423#*#* in your phone and see if your bootloader status is unlockable under service-->Configuration. Procede with below steps, only if your device is unlockable.
It is important that you follow the steps in order
1) First step for installing a custom rom over a mobile with stock rom is to backup the existing state of bootloader .Usually warranty will get void if any modification is done to bootloader. The below tool ensures that it takes the backup of existing state of bootloader when device is under warranty.
Goto
Backup TA for Sony Xperia (This tool helps you to have a )
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292598.
Download the tool.This tool will backup your DRM Securtiy keys . Successful backup can only be taken after the existing stock rom is rooted (Use towelroot application if your device is not already rooted) .Root it first then follow the process given in above link .
Once this is over , u will have a backup of the existing state of bootloader/TA partition (If you later wish to move back to stock rom from custom rom use the same tool to restore the backup you have just created.This means you will get your Warranty back);
2) Goto this website , follow the steps and get your unlock code via e mail.
Use fastboot mode to unlock your bootloader (Make sure that you have already backuped your existing DRM keys-Step 1).Follow it fully to unlock your bootloader
http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/unlock/step1
3)Download any custom rom zips with recovery, for your mobile from xda developers forum and have fun.Extract boot.img using winrar or winzip .
Flash boot.img via fastboot mode
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
4)As the device reboots, when you see your LED glow press volume up or down. It will take you to CWM Recovery or TWRP recovery based on the rom that you have downloaded.
5)Just install the custom rom(*.zip ) from within the recovery.
What if that i already have the custom recovery?
So, just wipe data, dalvik, and cache, then flash the zip?
That's it?

Absolutely right. But before installing an custom rom in the first place i hope you have already backed up your DRM keys for warranty purpose(as mentioned in the guide) since if you unlock your bootloader without backing up your DRM keys, DRM keys might be lost forever .

Sure. Easiest way to do it is by using an app called, 'Titanium Backup Pro'.But you have to root your stock rom first for this application to run(Use towelroot if you are yet to root).Except for sony proprietary apps like walkman,Album,etc (will run only on stock rom as they use sony developed system libraries/API'S) other apps will get restored/run fine on a custom rom.

its in the OP....on the phones dialpad, type: *#*#7378423#*#*
then look in > service > configuration
it should show the status as "bootloader locked", "bootloader unlocked", "bootloader unlockable" or "not unlockable" (sorry wording may not be exact, but you'll get the idea)

Sorry, did you type that in the phone and check the status? That's where it will tell you if its already unlocked or if its even unlockable at all.
Do not try to install a custom ROM on your phone if it is not unlocked! Your phone will not boot.

Thanks to @ foomanjackel for answering your questions.Regarding your 2nd question, 'Experience is the mother of invention'.Why don't you try and see what happens...just kidding.Couldn't resist it. Practically speaking of you install a custom rom with an custom kernel on a locked bootloader you will hard brick it.It will not boot and chances are that you might not be able to goto flashmode or fastbootmode anymoreto repair it.Reason this happens is that both your recovery and bootloader resides in the same partition in your mobile.If you try to install custom kernel on a locked bootloader in every probability, it not only corrupts your existing stocks kernel but also might corrupt your recovery leaving u helpless.
Theoretically, You should be able to install any custom-stock based rom on a locked bootloader (which runs exactly on ur stock kernel).In other words a custom rom which doesn't come up with a custom kernel but based on your existing stock kernel should be able to run on a locked bootloader.But my advice is you do not risk it.

If you get this message "Bootloader unlockable: yes" then your bootloader is still locked.

easyest way to update

Hi im not a total noob but I have never updated my phone as was looking for the simplest way to do so. I also have a few questions for when ive done so. Im currently on 4.4.2 rooted soff and have been advised to update so I can get a working kexec so I can install multirom properly.
will I need to reroot and unlock bootloader after?
Is there a risk of bricking.
thanks.

Sir if you were in rooted condition and gladly also in S-OFF, you're free to do anything , i mean rather than fallback to stock, just flash any custom rom you want but also flash it's correlated firmware.
Thank You

Thanks for the reply the reason I was staying on stock is becouse I don't know what Rom to use to suit my needs thats why I was going to try multrom so I can test a few. And keep all my apps and contacts till I change over.
Can anyone add anything further?

If I'm you, I rather update my device to 4.4.4 first as you're running the older firmware so all you can enjoy is simply CM based rom whereas the lastest GPE and sense based rom may not work properly since you're still using the older firmware.
Is it better for me to return to stock update everything and reroot rather than updateing Rom and firmware seperately

Easier way is to restore back to stock and do the OTA than root if need but I don't. I flash a custom recovery and make a nandroid backup and flashing straight! skipping root

Hi do I need to Unroot and flash stock recovery to do a its update or just flash stock recovery?
When I'm updated will I need to root the new Rom or just re flash custom recovery?

The easiest way is to get s off, then go superCID
You download the firmware zip, rename it to 0P6BIMG.zip. Put that on your extCSD and boot into hboot.
That's it. Your phone does the rest.

Do you have s-off?
Or the simplest and fool proof method. Grab your nandroid backup (found in general section) and restore the backup and flash your stock recovery. After which please do a factory reset and try to search for OTA. It'll appear

Use a RUU will be easier for you. But beware, everything inside your device will be clean. So do backup your pictures and etc to your com before you use it.

I understand you not wanting to mess your phone. It is always best not to proceed if you are unsure.
I'm not sure what carrier you are on, but for the normal international model, you will want to download this firmware to use in the method I explained.
Some American carriers have different firmware, so if you on an American carrier, let me know which one and I will provide you with the proper download to update to 4.4.4
The best thing about this method over an RUU is that you won't lose any data.

Hi thanks for the help its appreciated. I have the UK and carrier is O2. Just so I'm clear after fw update all I need to do is update to a 4.4.4 rom? I do have HTC backup and a full tarp backup is that sufficient to restore my phone after thanks again.

Yep, that's right. The HTC backup I wouldn't worry about. They aren't as good as TWPR's. Flash the firmware from the link I provided, then install a 4.4.4 ROM.

Install Global ROM, Revert Stock Recovery afterwards

Good Day all,
I was wondering, is it possible to revert to the stock recovery after installing the Global ROM on the mi mix 3 China Version?
Reason I am wondering is because when I/We receive a OTA update from Xiaomi while using the Global ROM, will the phone be able to update or will it just freak out on me/us and die?
Currently I am waiting for my Bootloader to be unlocked (ETA 70HRS), I have all files necessary files downloaded (TWRP, Global ROM, Magisk v17.1)
Help/Advice would be appreciated :good:
Kind Regards

I find you very helpful in the forum and I would like to ask you few questions, I am thinking about buying the device but only chinese version is available here and I cant wait for the global to arrive
my questions are:
1- global version only released with 6GB RAM , if I got chinese version with 8GB , will it be able to run the global ROM ?
2- I have never flashed a ROM before , but I have strong knowledge in linux and command lines, will this be a hard task for me to do ? is it risky to brick the device ?
3- After flashing the Global ROM , will I receive official OTA updates directly from xaiomi without any problems ?

1. Yes no problem, I'm on 8GB model and worked fine
2. Really hard to hard brick, soft brick possible but easily fixable via fastboot to flash new system, boot etc
3. I believe so, not tested as there isn't a 2nd global update out?

You'd have to use the Xiaomi EU rom with or without magisk as the global ROM has a CTS mismatch so won't pass safety net.

No, flashing the ROM will keep TWRP installed as it's a custom miui ROM.
OTA works and will automatically flash the update via TWRP for you.

Just a quick update for you all that I have successfully, unlocked the Bootloader and installed the ROM.
Just a quick note to mention that after you do:
fastboot flash recovery TWRP_perseus.img
DO NOT put in the command:
fastboot boot TWRP_perseus.img
After flashing TWRP just take your phone (either connected or disconnected from PC) and hold vol up and power. It will reboot in TWRP.
I tried rebooting into the recovery using the above command line and it just rebooted into MIUI Recovery.
Hope this helps :good:

Relock bootloader of rooted A2 Lite (Stock Rom)

Hey guys,
i just want to ask if there is a tested method to relock the bootloader of a rooted A2 Lite.
I use the stock rom, just unlocked and rooted it.
I've read something about the MiFlashTool and the Clean and Lock Option.
But I'm not sure about that, because the MiFlashTool is for Miui.
So what are the steps to relock the bootloader?
Thank you for your help

The MiFlashTool is also for the Stock Rom of the Mi A2 Lite (Not only MIUI!)
Download the Stock Rom and you can flash it via MiFlash. If you choose the option, you can relock the Bootloader when you do this.
Woah there buddy, if you try to lock a rooted phone you will have a hard brick. Don't try to lock the bootloader of a phone that is rooted or have system/boot etc. modifications.

Not sure if it would work, the cleanest way would be to download official fastboot ROM, flash it via MiFlash (select clean and lock option). This will erase all your data and turn your phone to stock ROM. I'm saying this is the cleanest way because you may have issues by unrooting and locking the phone. Maybe it would work. Unsure.

Ok, this was a misunderstanding
If you lock your bl at a modified system, you will get the message "your system got destroyed", I once had this. But I was lucky being able to unlock again... So no hardbrick... But doing all that leads to nothing. Btw. it's always useful to have an open bl... For example, if you mess up with a magik module and stuck @boot... Just ignore the stupid message of xiaomi!

To prevent this, i want to remove the root access in the first place.
That i have a clean stock rom.
I tried it with no-data-loss method and it says, system is destroyed, i have it to unlock it.
With root, you can relock it, but it's useless.

Backup up everything first
Download MiFlash and the correct ROM (not OTA version)
Then you can flash the Stock ROM which will remove everything
You can also choose to leave unlocked or lock the bootloader (re-lock is selected by default)
As this is a somewhat new device I wouldn't tick the option to save your data.

Then you can flash the Stock ROM which will remove everything
You can also choose to leave unlocked or lock the bootloader (re-lock is selected by default)
As this is a somewhat new device I wouldn't tick the option to save your data.

What is the correct rom if not the OTA-Version?

Take a look at this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2-lite/how-to/ota-v9-6-4-0-odlmiff-t3823913
you can find pretty much all ota's and fastboot rom links.
All full ROMs end with .tgz extension
like this one:
http://bigota.d.miui.com/V9.6.4.0.O...0.ODLMIFF_20180724.0000.00_8.1_4afd3431a2.tgz
you have to extract it to be able to use it with MiFlash but I'm sure you'll find all the answers in the thread above
