Is it possible to downgrade from Q to Oreo ? - Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers

Hi everybody, big newbie here. Can someone explain to me step by step how to do this ? I think its the only way to make the Mi A2 Lite work correctly again ...

Yes, it's possible and go for EDL mode and then flash it via MiFlash. I've tried downgrading some time ago and that's the safest way to not mess up connectivity. Search for it, it's here on the forum. But frankly, why would you want to do that? I've been through many custom ROMs, tried many kernels, settings, etc., but I always come back to the official one. The reason is in the attached screenshot. It wasn't possible on any custom and until the official update to 11.0.7.0 (I was getting max 3 days on earlier builds). My method: install/update, clean all through the built-in recovery (mind that it's tricky to get into), then restore everything from Google cloud.

Well I taught myself to turn off stuff I don't need at the moment, especially mobile data, when I'm on WiFi. BT always on.

HomTom HT3: firmware update, root

Posting this because there seems to be no information on this device not in Russian.
Bought a HomTom HT3 (non-Pro). Came with firmware 1.0.1, and no OTA update available (seems HomTom's server has been down for some time, and their website is no help). 1.0.1 firmware doesn't seem rootable by any method I tried (not an experiences Android hacker, or even user).
Using SP Flash Tool (MediaTek flash tool) it's possible to flash official 2.0.8 firmware (latest, near as I can tell). I'd post a direct link to the firmware on Google Drive, but new user restrictions. You can Google: "M20_HT3_V2.0.8_user_20160419-14_29_27.zip"
In my case it was necessary to install the MediaTek VCOM drivers as well.
With 2.0.8 installed, rooting is as simple as installing and running KingRoot. Hope this helps someone.
p.s. it seems the Russians have CM and other customs ROMS for this phone.
You can Google: "M20_HT3_V2.0.8_user_20160419-14_29_27.zip"

I have exactly the same problem that u described.
But unfortunately the file was deleted from Google drive and I am screwed unless u can maybe send it to me or upload it and send me the link? I would appreciate a lot!! Really man, I am going crazy here x(
Unfortunately don't have. I'd suggest scouring HomTom's facebook page, including through user posts, for firmware links.
Damn, but thanks for your advice.
Btw do u have a recovery that works for this version?
I have problem with Homtom HT3 PRO version. After using SP Flash Tool to upgrade official ROM phone starting with broken picture. What I can do?

Help! I do not know what else to do (excessive consumption Android system)

Hello, I need someone to wire me, I've been messing with my cell phone for several days ...
I explain briefly.
I was in beta 16 and everything was perfect, until I upgrade to beta 17, then the consumption of the "Android system" began to fire, warmed up a lot and I drained the battery.
As a result, I made several wipes, remained the same.
Restore factory and nothing, just ...
At the end choose to try another rom and put the Resurrction remix. (There began other problems with the recovery that every time q enter it, I restored factory)
In the end I decided to return to Oxygen Os Stable.
(I put it on sideload since the twrp)
Well, it's still the same ... Battery usage of the "Android system" increases much faster than anything else, as I use it on mobile. And the phone is always hot .... (look at the grades) Q give me something to use (I'll put it in the fridge ?)
What else can I do??
Has anyone else gone through it and solved it?
Help please ?

Do a proper fresh install of stock Oos using oxygen recovery and all will be well, don't flash other custom kernels on top of other custom kernels, what kernel are you running?
I closed bootloader and it works. But I re-open the bootloader, recovery twrp and supersu 2.82 and the problem returns.

xiaomitool. No more bootloops

Like many of you, I also had the problem that the phone had a bootloop after a flash. No matter what I tried, nothing worked. I found and tried this tool xiaomitool from Francesco. With this tool you can flash any rom without bootloop. Please save your data before
Thus tool does a flash completely automatically. You even didn't need TWRP pre-installed on your device

Hi,
First, I'd like to thank you for finding the tool and publishing it here.
It's a really handy Application.
After moving around in the app quite a bit, I couldn't find any way to install any custom roms.
All it offers - Miui Global/Beta, Chinese Official/Beta roms and some other tweaks (TWRP, SU etc.)
How to flash any other custom Rom..?
Am I missing something here..?
Please describe.
Thanks in advance.

You have to download the ROM, then go to: "Local ROM file"

MIUI 9.5.19.0 WiFi 5Ghz

Hi guys,
Just got the Note 5 (Global) which is the same as Note 5 Pro (India) except the selfie 20Mp camera...
After upgrading to MIUI 9.5.19.0 I got no 5Ghz connection. Before that it was working.
Did a factory restore and got it working, but after reboot stopped working. The firmware remained 9.5.19.0...
Anyway... did you experienced this?
What are the coolest ROMs for this phone?
Thanks a lot!
Kind regards,
NS
Check the channels of your access point
No problem here. 9.5.19 Note 5 Global.

Change the region to India and it will work
Hi guys,
Just to tell you that I was able to fix the issue. The steps I took were:
- Did a full restore from Mi Phone Assistant
- Used the steps to restore rom
- Wipe + clean install
- Used the MIUI file from official site: miui_HMNote5HMNote5ProGlobal_V9.5.19.0.OEIMIFA_b370a6bc7e_8.1.zip
This way the 5Ghz network got seen all the time. Even with reboot and then updating apps and stuff
This was the only way.
Something went wrong the Miui internal update that gets 5Ghz first, but then after rebooting it is lost forever.
This might be unnotice for many 2.4Ghz wifi guys, which is 90% of people....
This way it works... the bad is that you need to do a wipe and clean install. But you can restore your backup later on...
Cheers guys!

Hey bro you somehow softbricked your device. make sure you have a backup and flash latest firmware through mi flash tool. This wil format complete storage and reinstall it as new.
if you have unlocked the bootloader before you should not use the relock option in mi flash tool.
Download Xiaomi Flash Tool - Xiaomi Mi Flash Tool Download
Download Xiaomi Flash tool is for Xiaomi smartphone and tablet device users that runs on Windows PC platforms to flash fastboot firmware files on Xiaomi smartphones. All versions of Xiaomi Mi Flash Tool download is available here
www.xiaomiflash.com
Unless modded, patched or worked around, SafetyNet wouldn't pass on that device.
Certification could... if the Play Store doesn't take ctsProfileMatch into account because that part would be false, at the very least because of the unlocked bootloader.
In any case, the usual procedure should suffice:
Set phone to Fastboot mode (Vol- pressed at power on).
Flash the appropriate ROM either manually or using any of the Fastboot GUIs (e.g. Mi Flash).
That's about it, re-lock bootloader if you wish, don't think it's necessary.
Besides, if you get the same outcome after the procedure (say the unlocked bootloader mattered and you don't want to root or patch anything), you can always lock it, and then clear the data of the Play Store and Google Player Services (for good measure haha); it should force it to reevaluate its certification status.
And yeah, clearing user data is probably appropriate when flashing.
Don't be so hasty with MIUI 13, you're not missing much
