10.2.1.0 Global Update Available - Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Guides, News, & Discussion

Just checked for updates and this popped up. Enjoy.
Link for the download is: http://bigota.d.miui.com/V10.2.1.0.PEEMIXM/miui_MIMIX3Global_V10.2.1.0.PEEMIXM_9dc43870b4_9.0.zip

I just got this too! Do you know how I can update having twrp installed?

I just tried to install the smaller update above, it failed and now I'm downloading a 1.8gb version. Of you have TWRP installed, I'd probably just download the older OTA and fastboot flash boot boot.img from that OTA.

You should be able to install it like normal but ensure when your device reboots you enter your password to enter twrp. If that doesn't work just reboot into twrp and install it by selecting it from the downloaded ROM directory (I forget what the folder is called but it's not the normal download folder). You will have to reflash twrp afterwards.

What version of Magisk did you install? I tried 17.3 and have a bootlooping phone.

The URL for the big OTA (1.8gb) is: http://bigota.d.miui.com/V10.2.1.0.PEEMIXM/miui_MIMIX3Global_V10.2.1.0.PEEMIXM_9dc43870b4_9.0.zip

I just tried downloading a fresh copy of the Magisk zip. Same result. The phone starts booting then reboots into recovery. I don't know why this doesn't work. Did you have a "global" version of the phone? If so, can you backup your boot image with TWRP (the Magisk rooted one) and post it so we can try downloading and installing to see if it works on a Chinese phone?

Is it normal for the update size to not be displayed? This is my first update using a Xiaomi device & found it odd to not know how large a update was.

Mine showed the size for the small incremental which failed and for the full OTA which installed sucessfully. I have not been able to root this with Magisk, no matter what I tried. Every attempt at rooting with SuperSU or Magisk caused the device to bootloop and go back to recovery.

Yeah, that's the update download size. Don't be surprised when the 599 one fails to install (if you have stock recovery). It will download a 1.8GB one (the one I linked to in the OP now) and that one will install as expected. I think you can install either with TWRP if you want. GLHF

anyone figured how to root this? I flashed twrp then flash magisk 17.3 but it kept bootlooping to twrp.

No, I've tried everything. I have a suspicion we can root this on the Chinese device after we have fastboot images.

[Q] TWRP

I updated the software on my DEB Nexus 7 from KOTH49H to KVT49L and now I can't install TWRP.
Are they in progress of making a new recovery img so that it works or should I revert back to KOT49H?

Do you still have root? What was the error?
There is no error it flashes TWRP and then when I boot recovery it is still stock recovery. I am unrooted.

I originally started out with PA 5.0 BETA but, then I reverted to stock to get the update. Full flash black to 4.4.2 KOT49H then I factory reset it once more to make sure everything is okay. After that I completed the setup Wizard and let all the apps update, after that was done I would reboot the tablet and then activate developer options. I flash using a batch I made that simply boots the tablet into bootloader then it uses the command fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-deb.img and reboots the device. Once it boots up I reboot into recovery and it shows the stock recovery instead of TWRP.

In the process of resetting back to factory, did it relock your bootloader? I ask only because some tools do this automatically. I had to ask.

Nah, I did it manually to see if locking and re-unlocking it would allow TWRP to be flashed but, that didn't work.

Welp, can you BOOT into twrp...i.e. fastboot boot openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-deb.img then you can root it (a suggestion to use goo was here, but forget that).
If you can boot into twrp using the above suggestion, you can at least root and get some stuff done while waiting for a fix or update or someone more knowledgeable than I to solve your issue.
The only thing I can think of is that the bootloader changed and we are back to where you started, waiting for them to update it for your bootloader.

I am browsing the root and it seems like they made a backup file that defaults it back to the original recovery. I am assuming this has something to do with Verizon because they patched a lot of stuff in the update or so it seems.

Hmm, as you probably know there is a file that is normally renamed in the process of installing recoveries to prevent that, my guess is they changed the name or location or added a new one (with a diff name) or did something with the permissions so it could not be renamed, and I'll bet if you boot into twrp and rename that file you'll be able to flash and boot into twrp, though I'd make sure the contents of that file ONLY do that one thing, and that renaming it won't cause it to boot loop.

Is there a file in /system named recovery-from-boot.p?

Is there any app like titanium backup that don't require root?

It is a little annoying that I can't use OTA because of my custom recovery (TWRP).
As of now I need root for 1 thing: backing up my apps.
Is there any way to backup apps the same as in Titanium backup (with the data of the apps) but without root?
This way I could use the OTA to update the phone
Thanks,
orma
Try out Helium Backup. It's free on the app store. You need to install this app on a PC however to enable backing up.
I tried it, but some apps cannot be backed up and the one I need the most is also in the list.
Is there any other way?
Here's what to do, root your phone and then get flashfire. You'll be able to flash the ota with it maintaining root and a custom recovery if you use it. You can also create backups with flashfire. You get the best of both worlds. Don't forget you can also download the ota's from Google if you can't wait for them to be pushed to your phone. It's also easier this way.
Can't I just use TWRP to flash the ota image?
I already have it installed
You'll loose root and twrp for sure and I don't think it will flash because you have twrp installed.

That doesn't make any sense. I've done this 20 or more times with various nexus devices. It's possible the file was corrupted while downloading. Can you find the file on your device. It'd try downloading it again.
You're using the flash zip or ota and not firmware package?

sorry for all of those question but the description of this make it sound like it would install the stock recovery instead of twrp
the description: Attempt restore stock boot and recovery images before flashing. May be required for some OTAs. Disable for non-OTA updates.
When you hit the check mark on that screen you'll be brought to another screen. On that one you'll see reboot. Click on that and you'll have the option to preserve recovery. That's were it'll keep twrp on your device. So restore boot and recovery is the correct setting

Unlocked for a whole , what, 3 hours , and you brick already.
Sorry had to do that.
I don't have mate , but 7x the roms are supposedly basically the same. At least the 7x custom roms work on se.
I have boot image uploaded , along with the the rest of the partitions , as separate files. On Android file host. You can. Try to use that.
As far as mate back up I have found one, but it is whole backup.

What Roms for 7x work on SE? Maybe I will just flash one of those? My phone wasn't on Oreo so I don't imagine an Oreo ROM working,
Oh and I bricked by flashing Magisk and no-verify 4.1. I knew I shouldve stayed away from Magisk and just flashed SuperSU

Ok. SO after I unlocked my bootloader I flashes TWRP 3.1.1-0. I can't find 3.1.1-1 for the 7x even tho that is the one ppl say to use since it supports decrypt.
Then I flashed the latest Magisk and no-verity 4.1. When my system didn't boot I tried n-verity 6.0 then 5.1 as I thought I was using the wrong version but it didn't help.
I did try flashing the uninstaller for Magisk but it fails to flash. Can't find /Vender it says. Honestly I should've just flashed SuperSU.

i bricked mine within a day, same reason: magisk + no-verify. Can't say for sure why, I installed magisk ok, no-verify had zip error, but installed anyway, then I wiped caches. result = no boot. Maybe I shouldn't have wiped?
I was able to recover using someone else's backup imgs and part of the process here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/how-to/how-to-to-stock-emui-5-0-flashing-twrp-t3679985
I used fastboot to flash the system and boot imgs and used twrp to flash the vendor img. I think that was the trick, just using fastboot to flash the vendor resulted in the black screen with nav controls only.

December update breaks magisk?

Hi all,
I've updated my 3xl to the december update like usual, flash-all.bat without -w. Afterwards, it boots fine, and in settings it clearly states that I'm running the December security patch.
However, when I boot into twrp (not installed) and flash magisk, android boots to just before asking my SIM PIN, says "Shutting Down", then reboots and gives me the message "Can't load Android System. Your data may be corrupt." etc. inside stock recovery.
Did the December update somehow break magisk? Anyone gotten it to work? I'd rather not do a factory reset if it's not needed.
Works fine for me.
Try re-flashing the December update with the - w deleted see if it boots up. Then try flashing magdisk manually on bkth a and b partitions
Working fine for me as well.
I would try flashing the stock boot and system images to both slots. It probably won't work but worth a try before doing a factory reset.

You have a corrupt backup copy of boot.img, Magisk grabbed that and used it for root.
Flash the stock boot.img to both slots and reroot.

I would try flashing the stock boot and system images to both slots. It probably won't work but worth a try before doing a factory reset.

First off, thanks for trying to help!
Flashing the stock boot.img "solves" the problem, I can boot and use the phone like normal, but without root obviously. Using the stock boot.img inside magisk manager to patch it with 17.3 and flashing that boot image to both partitions gives me this error again. I've also tried re-applying the December update at least 3 more times, with the same result. Any other ideas?

Flash the stock boot.img to both slots.
Reboot and check it.
Copy the Magisk zip to your phone.
Fastboot boot the TWRP img file, don't install it.
Use TWRP to install the Magisk zip, and you are done.

Do you have the previous version of Edge Sense Plus module installed? That sounds exactly like what happens if you install Magisk with that module still there. He put out a new one today.

Thank you so much, this worked!
Instead of going back an Android version, I used this script, uninstalled all modules and re-flashed Magisk. It works perfectly now. Thanks again!

Good deal. That is why I always keep a copy of the Magisk uninstaller on the phone itself. As long as I can get to BL/temp TWRP .img, the worst I am out is the time it takes me to reconfigure Magisk.

How can we boot the twrp from fastboot?
The one from official website doesn't support Android 10 I believe and I failed with the info says "too many links".

General 11.2.7.7.LE15AA Rolling Out

Already prompted to install 11.2.7.7. About to install/re-root.
Normal process for taking the OTA and keeping root worked without any issue.
are you doing both Direct & Inactive slot Install before Reboot?

Can you give me the kernel patch file? magisk
Hey, I just got the update, and Restoring the boot image with Magisk no longer allows me to install the update without unrooting. at first it is downloading for a bit, then it goes to "installation problem", which is not something that happened last time
Is this normal?

You don't need to restore anything in order to update to a New OTA. Simply disable any magisk module you use. Reboot your device then let the OTA install it self. Once done, DO Not reboot and just go to magiskmanager, and install magisk to the available slot. After what you can reboot your device, re apply your magisk modules. Et voilĂ

I followed my normal process (I don't use any Magisk modules):
Magisk Uninstall->Restore Images (do not reboot)
Take OTA (do not reboot)
Install Magisk to both active and inactive
Reboot
Worked without issue, as always.
I found 11.2.7.7.LE15AA, disabled all magisk modules rebooted, installed update reinstalled magisk to other slot, rebooted now I'm boot looped and in recovery, set it back from A to B (was previously on B), as obviously slot_A is non-functional or something went wrong with the upgrade from 11.2.5.5.LE15AA to 11.2.7.7.LE15AA, same problem still boot-looped.
Maybe teh custom kernel was to blame, I'll try restoring boot image and try again
I'd so prefer a full zip if they every provide one for the LE15AA version, as this method is never easy

Yeah, I don't do any custom kernel stuff or magisk modules, I cannot personally comment. What I know, for me, is the process fails 100% of the time if I don't do the Magisk image restore and it succeeds 100% of the time if I do.
I am currently on 11.2.4.4 AA (Global), rooted. Can I upgrade to the EU ROM since they tend to get full updates while AA has not been? If so, do I just flash the 11.2.6.6 EU ROM or should I flash 11.2.4.4 EU ROM then flash a more up-to-date ROM? If I flash the EU ROM, would I loose anything?
As rooted you have to flash OTA using full OTA zip file that you can download using oxygen updater app. Incremental OTA method cannot work properly.
On Oxygen updater app, download the full zip file (it will detect Magisk and advise you to use that method.)
Once downloaded, be sure that every magisk module are disabled and reboot.
Now go to parameters/system/system update then click on the upper right icon and chose local update. If it's not already done, point to the full zip file location and let the update process run to the end.
Once done, do not reboot and use magiskmanager to reflash magisk to the available slot.

Not sure if this was for someone specific for their unique circumstance. If this was just meant generally, then it is inaccurate.
I don't use Oxygen Updater. I just take the incremental OTA using the steps I mentioned.

Just letting you know, Oxygen Updater is stuck on 11.2.4.4, as is the OnePlus website.

Easy. You open magisk and restore stock boot. Don't reboot yet. Download and install update. Don't reboot yet. Open magisk and install to inactive slot. Reboot.

you are saying taking this incremental ota worked for you? I did the exact same steps (restore images, install without rebooting, install to inactive slot) and my system is still stuck on 11.2.4.4, I do not know what the issue is

yeah my system reports 11.2.4.4, yet have an incremental update for 11.2.7.7, which is odd for a number of reasons. long story short I'm sure it will cause me issues to try applying an incremental update that is not in order, but idk why 11.2.7.7 is showing up on my system, bc 11.2.6.6 never installed (or the system doesn't report it did)
