My device is still android 8, want to update to 9 - Xiaomi Redmi 6A Questions & Answers

My Redmi 6a is still android 8 (8.1.0 O11019) and the MIUI version is MIUI Global 10.3.6 | Stable. So I found this thread where you can download the update manually but when I tried doing it, my device says
Can't verify Update
Coudn't verify. Looks like the ROM's secure-patch version is lower than the current version

Is there a way that I can update my phone to android 9?

Unlock bootloader, install twrp, then flash the recovery file with twrp. Keep in mind, don't flash the oreo twrp after you've successfully flashed miui pie, if you do you'll hard brick your phone. The pie twrp can be found in 4 p d a or in the telegram group or just google it.
Or just wait until xiaomi releases the fastboot file so you can flash it with a pc.

Flashing MIUI 8 Global Beta MM from LL

Hi all. My RN3 is currently on global stable MIUI 8.0.6.0 which os LL based. I want to switch over to Global beta which is MM.
I dont want to use MiFlash as I bricked my device twice earlier flashing the MM file.
Can I flash the MM recovery zip through TWRP? Should I use Alka Twrp to flash and do I need to do anything else after that? Can anyone please help me with exact steps to get MM global beta through TWRP?
Go to xiaomi.eu and get a zip that Global MM modified (only remove bloatware I think) and flash it via TWRP.
MiFlash actually rescue me from a soft-brick one week ago. MiFlash shouldn't brick your device if you doing it right.
MiFlash works perfectly with Global Stable, I don't know about Global Dev, but I have a solution if you want a official way to go Global Dev.
I will assume you are not flash any custom recovery yet, and still at stock recovery. And no bootloader unlock needed.
Flash Global Stable via MiFlash and update Global Dev via stock recovery with recovery zip.
I do it once when I go from MIUI 7 Stable to MIUI 8 Beta few months ago, and it works very well.
dev roms should b flashed with custom recovery bro..
I have nothing against MiFlash but my PC USB ports seems to be having a problem when I flash using MiFlash and it stops midway with some read error..I had that problem twice..
So I am always using Alka TWRP for flashing CM 14.1 builds from LL directly. Wanted to check if I can do that with MIUI 8 Global Dev too using their recovery zip file. Heard it causes bootloops. Please detail the steps of flashing through TWRP. Thats the safest for me

When you go from miui lp to miui mm , your bootloader will be relocked and you have to unlock it again and flash twrp.
Actually, TWRP remains, you only need to unlock it with MiUnlock in fastboot mode. And then you can go to twrp or system. Because BL is locked it causes bootloop

I tried to unlock my bootloader via
Miunlock tool.. I got my device permission through sms on 19november
from unlock mi team,
After that I m trying to unlock my device, But it's stuck at 50% (Another
account ), It's already 8days over, Still I m not able to unlock my
bootloader officially,
So if I unlocked my bootloader by fastboot miflash unofficially method,
- My Mi protection and
- My device ll void warranty??
What would be the cons if I unlocked unofficially..
You need to boot in EDL mode and then flash with MiFlash china/global dev fastboot ROM. For that you dont need to unlock BL. Then you will be able to unlock it on dev ROM.
I had exact same problem

Next step plz??
I dont want to install custom rom now urgently later i will see,
So now i want to Backup my MIUI 8.0.6.0 Stable rom for future.. i m satisified with my stable rom..
Now if i am going to install official twrp recovery, any problem to get future OTA updates, Can i upgraded to future MIUI stable roms after installed twrp??
No you cant upgrade OTA if you have official TWRP.
It only works with ZCX TWRP, I suggest flash zcx, backup all partitions to microSD and then happy flashing.

How to switch from global stable to global beta/dev?

Hey there,
I own a Redmi Note 3 Special Edition (Kate) and I currently am on 8.1.1.0 global stabel. I'd like to switch to beta/dev (Is it the same? There doesn't seem to be a difference on the download page) without any loss of data if that's possible? What's the most reliable way to switch?
Thanks in advance
If your phone is on stock firmware then download the latest developer rom for kenzo. Make sure you download recovery ROM and not fastboot rom for your device. Fastboot Roms can be flashed only using mi flash tool. After downloading ROM copy it to d root of your phone s internal storage. Then go to updater app and choose update package i.e zip file. It will decrypt and then install update.

He's having Kate, so he should only flash Kate's ROM (not KENZO) otherwise he'll get bootloop. I am having KATE and have the latest global dev 7.2.9.
I have installed TWRP after unlocking bootloader and flashed the recovery ROM.

Hi so recently today I was able to successfully flash my stock ROM from Global 11.0.3 to Europe 11.2 (20.3.5).
All works, I have a new and version specific TWRP recovery which solves the decryption issue and such.
Only problem though is I can't seem to update my ROM from the latest Europe 11.2 (20.3.12). I am aware that we cannot install OTA updates like we normally would because we are on a custom recovery. I tried flashing it from the 'choose update package' where it brought me to the TWRP and executed OpenScript to flash, and also tried flashing from TWRP itself. No luck. Bootloop into Redmi Logo and TWRP recovery, so I end up restoring the working Eu version.
An updated tutorial on how to install OTA roms on custom recoveries would really be appreciated, thanks!
Hey OP, could you make a How to install GSI guide?... I'm really interested on doing that.

you have to flash https://build.nethunter.com/android-tools/no-verity-opt-encrypt/no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.1.zip and then update the OTA..dont forget that we normally use a custom rom with TWRP, no point of having twrp with stock rom??? try xiaomi.eu , its way better and you dont have any problems with updates.

Hello, you are lost mate...
You use Xiaomi.eu ROM, it's a custom MIUI ROM (Not Official ROM).
You can install updates given by Updater app (System app) without issue on this ROM.
If your phone bootloop just after a ROM update, and not after flashing Magisk, it can be because of a bad encryption from "bad" TWRP (so you need to "Format Data" in new TWRP <-- installed by xiaomi.eu ROM)
-OR-
Did you use my K20 to Mi 9T conversion patch (from xiaomi.eu forum)?
Check for update with Updater app, download and install it. That's simple on xiaomi.eu ROMs.
Trying to install evolution X on my Mi 9T but whenever I flash TWRP the phone won't boot to it, just keeps loading the fastboot screen. Anyone have any ideas where I'm going wrong? I've reflashed stock with miflash for now to get it working.

I have the same problem, but I can't find a solution. Did you find it ?
I found the solution with explication on how to install havoc_OS
after format data you have to reboot to recovery, flash firmware +rom+gapps...without firmware it wont boot on some roms..read well OP instructions, mine are only for xiaomi.eu, you dont need to flash firmware and it will boot fine.

That should be fine. What was the last thing that you flashed before this started? That is where you need to start looking.

It seems that the updater has borked something, but I am not sure how the stock MIUI recovery could bork things in this way. You would normally recover from such a situation by flashing a fastboot MIUI ROM, but it seems that you don't have this option because of the state of your bootloader.
You might well have to do some rather drastic stuff.
I also try to open fastboot mode in another redmi note 4 (mido) with same miui version here same issues is shown

I never had such a problem with that MIUI version. But then I never did any OTA updates with the MIUI updater + MIUI recovery, so I don't know.
I don't remember what kind of things you can do with stock recovery - but you might want to flash another MIUI ROM with it if you can do such a thing with stock recovery. If not, then you are truly stuck, unless you are willing to take some rather drastic (and risky) action (eg, if you can somehow enter EDL mode - or you could try flashing a custom recovery img using an app like flashify, and if that works, then you can flash another firmware zip or another ROM).

Unable to flash Havoc 3.6 GSI

Hi guys,
Really frustrated with this right now. I'm just trying to flash Havoc 3.6 without root on Redmi 8A Global version.
I have OrangeFox 10.1 installed from the official OrangeFox website.
I start off with MIUI 11.06 Global.
I unlock bootloader, reboot into OrangeFox fine.
If I format data and flash the rom, I get stuck on the Redmi by Xiaomi screen that says Unlocked.
If I don't format data before flashing ROM, I get bootlooped into OrangeFox recovery.
I can restore functionality by reflashing Global ROM.
I'm using ROM Havoc-OS-v3.6-20200613-Official-a64-ab.img.xz which I extracted into SD card and flashed .img to System partition.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/ha...v3.6-20200613-Official-a64-ab.img.xz/download

I've tried to follow that but it has many things I don't need like magisk. I just want a regular rom.
Also, OP is using a China version of the device instead of global variant.

Just do not install magisk and it does not matter whether it is China version or global version.
NOTE: If you flash vbmeta you would not get bootloop.

I did flash vbmeta.
Anyway I found the solution after another 3 hours of looking around. The guide I was using missed many important steps. I needed to flash permissive and certificate patch.
