Mi Mix 2 Issue logging into Google Account after flashing Global ROM

I got a Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 with Chinese ROM already installed. I'm very happy with the phone itself but wanted to install the Global Developer ROM.
Downloaded the Flashboot ROM from miui and flashed according to the tutorial in the wiki and everything seems to be working fine.
Since I haven't installed much on the chinese ROM, I decided to also reset the phone so I can start fresh. The problem I have right now is that I cannot get past the Google login to access the phone.
After logging into the account it keeps saying 'Please sign in using one of the owner's accounts for this device' even though this is the account I used previously with this phone without any issues.

If you can, install twrp and use the inbuilt file manager to delete Google setup app from /system

Also I believe there's a module allowing you to skip the setup wizard. Just flash magisk 16 and that module zip shall do？

Miui 10.1.1.0 - Device uncertified issue

Hello guys. When I've update my Mi 5s to Miui 9.5 I've followed the guide of this forum to how fix the uncertified device issue, using Device ID. When I've flashed Miui 10 from MiFlash, I've deleted all my files and data, but when I've finished my configuration I've noticed that Google Pay didn't work. This is because when you register a phone to Google it become certified, but if you reset the phone you lost the certification. So, now the problem is: I've done same procedure again, but this time it didn't work, the device is uncertified, I've tried also to delete all PlayStore cache and files, but nothing is change. So, without root or something, can I fix this issue or is a new politic of Xiaomi with Miui 10 or oreo (i don't know)? What do you suggest to do?

How to uninstall system apps without unlocking bootloader?

Is there any way to uninstall system apps like mi app store and others.
I've tested 'pm uninstall user bla bla' using adb on my old poco f1 with miui stock rom.
It seemed ok but when i rebooted my phone, it didn't boot up and I had to do data reset.
So I just want to know that is there any way to uninstall because I don't want to unlock bootloader. Sorry for my bad English.

I think you cannot uninstall any system app without unlocking and then root the phone to access system tray.

Have you read this article?
Try it :
https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/amp/
Tell here if it works.

It's working. Have done this directly on Day 1, before I could unlock my BL!
I've orientated me on this List, from our Brother, the "big" Mi 9. There is a list of the pre-installed apks, which you can uninstall. Pretty the same like on our Mi9 SE

Thanks a lot, I was searching for a way to do that too, as there is no custom rom yet.
I'll try it right away.

Hi there, I can recommanded XiaomiADBFastbootTools: https://github.com/Saki-EU/XiaomiADBFastbootTools. Uninstall/Reinstaller system apps and services on demand. etc. Need installed JAVA.

Hi, it seems quite cool, does it work properly with Mi 9 SE? Is it safe to uninstall all those apps from this device, too?

Yes I did uninstall all apk here. All is running and you can install all apk back via aplication (reinstall).

Minor issues

Hi there. I'm new to Xiaomi/MIUI and would appreciate any help with the following issues.
Mi 10T – Global Stable 12.0.8 – stock launcher – MIUI optimization ON – de-bloated with ADB
I can't see how much storage space is being taken up by each installed app/package. They all show a "0" value.
I can't find Running Services under Developer Options.
I can't permanently disable usage access for System Launcher. It re-enables itself once I exit the settings menu.
App icons aren't updating. For example, Gmail, Maps, Photos and FB Messenger still display their old icons, despite me using the latest versions of those apps.
Google Play still displays the older menu style, despite me using the latest version of that app.
System Apps Updater doesn't detect OTA updates, despite several newer versions of MIUI 12 system apps existing on APK Mirror. This issue presented itself before I began de-bloating.
Updater doesn't detect OTA updates. I had to sideload 12.0.8 in order to update from the phone's original OS version (12.0.7). This issue presented itself before I began de-bloating.
Full disclosure: I'd rather not turn off MIUI optimization to see if that resolves any of these issues, as I'm not keen on resetting permissions (again).
Edit:
When I uninstall an app via the app drawer, a gap is left in its place. The icon of the uninstalled app is still there, it just turns invisible. I can uninstall it over and over, but it doesn't go away until I reboot the phone.
There doesn't appear to be a way to turn off the phone's equalizer. I can't use Blackplayer's equalizer until I do so. I don't know if the same applies to other music players.
Edit:
There doesn't appear to be a way to add emergency contacts or access them via the lockscreen emergency dialer. Emergency information (com.android.emergency) exists within the list of installed apps.

I'm on Global 12.0.7, unlocked, rooted and debloated. Stock recovery. What did you exactly do to update to 12.0.8? I do not want to wipe and I'm a little confused with the procedure...

I downloaded it from here, went to About Phone in Settings, clicked on the OS version number in the top left, clicked on the 3-dot menu in the top right and installed it via Mi File Manager.
AFAIK, you can only use Mi File Manager to install the update via this method. If you've disabled or uninstalled it, nothing will happen when you click that menu option – even if you've installed another file manager.

I just tried this. It reboots and starts updating... but goes from 0.X% to 100% in two seconds, then it boots and it's still 12.0.7

That sucks. It worked just fine for me. Don't know what else to suggest.

Finally I booted into TWRP and flashed 12.0.9 from there, no issues.

Side loaded OTA via ADB all works fine no issues so far no FC can't say much difference

Seems like for now, most UI and user facing changes in general are hidden behind flags, this one is meant for the devs, so it's to be expected. The beta, on the other end, will be aimed at users, and then we will see what changes

I upgraded last night. Had to reboot twice after restart. Then everything was stable. First time it rebooted after install, nothing seemed to want to work and kept FCing. Second reboot, everything is fine now. Sometimes, Nova needs to be indicated when I press the home button that it's default, otherwise, everything is working fine.
Is it me or does the Android version still say 11 but the build is "S"?

I downloaded the 12 DP1... and it just isn't ready yet (understandably so) for the daily driver use I need.f
Rooting it requires disable verity and verification. You'll need magisk 23 or canary to patch boot.img as well. Not disabling verity/verification, it will only boot back into fastboot and list the reason as something like, "unable to load boot image".
Once rooted, I moved on to installing edxposed --- using riru, riru edxposed, and edxposed manager. Everything installs without problems. Final reboot, and reboots as normal. But then about 90 seconds later, you'll start getting FC after FC after FC. All apps too, and background apps, and systemui, etc.
Removing the riru components and edxposed manager, doesn't correct this problem.
Did fresh format and reinstall of the DP1... rooted again... and then tried Viper4Android. I use a very simple version. You just flash it, and its done (no manual driver install either). Rather than the 3 reboot, AML, driver install, etc.
V4A installs with good logs. Reboots without a hitch. But I noticed the v4a icon in the status bar is missing. I open it up manually, and start getting freezes and fc's. Within 5 minutes, I get kernel panic reboots -- and non-bootloop freezes on the working G screen.
Reboot manually with long press power, get it loaded back up and immediately remove V4A. Reboot and now I'm back to stock.
Get FC's every hour or two. Random reboots too. Battery life is struggling.
I decided to wait until a better version drops, perhaps the beta or at least a DP2.5 or 3.0. As of right now, having Android S is mostly just a status thing -- to show people how cool we are to have access to it as such an early stage. But unless you are dedicated to helping improve the ROM through daily use and reporting... I highly recommend that you stick with Android R.

Just flashed the 1st public android 12 beta bramble-ota-spb1.210331.013-3c294b13.zip with adb sideload. Listed as android S atm, surprised 5G was enabled as this wasn`t the case with android 11 in the Netherlands. All apps working fine so far and still finding out the new stuff.

Has anyone been able to root the Pixel 4a 5G with Android 12 Beta 1?.
Kindly share the steps.
