Alright, so recently I got the zip file for the MIUI 11, Android 10 update. I installed it, all is well, except I miss the face unlock feature. Considering it's a device with the IR face unlock and not the normal optical one. Is there a way I can go back to MIUI 11, Android 9 safely without bricking my device?
Uh, the face unlock option is still there though..?
The Pocophone F1 stock android 10 very definitely does include ir face unlock
Try changing your region, OP
Check it's selected in your security settings too
I'm assuming here that it was the official update zip - not a custom one

Alright, my bad, since I read somewhere that the update might require a location change and hence I did it and made it other than India.
Switched it back to India and I'm all good. Thank you so very much. Saved me from rooting a new phone.
Cheers!

European version on MM? No ! It was updated to Noughat long back. If u want US Os, just flash it on G Model with the help of tutorials.

The OTA system is completely broken. EU phones have had 9 Nougat updates already. just get to marshmallow B11, then update to Nougat B09
A quick question from being new to the Axon 7, will this relock my bootloader, and or will I lose my ability to root? I'm on B32, but downgraded bootloader with toolkit, and am rooted with SuperSU. I am loving my Axon 7, having had it 1 month. Previous phone was a POS Sony xperia z4, and the Axon blows it away.

No, and never lock it. You'll end up with a brick if you ever lock the bootloader without getting the phone completely functional and 100% stock (recovery, system)
Thankyou, I never intend to or want it locked. So I assume all I'll have to do after the update is re-flash superSU?:good:

Again. The OTA system is completely broken.
Just take an official zip from the Download Center. It's there for a reason you know
Other than the security patches, seems like a very light update. Does anyone have it yet? Are the improvements mostly under the hood or is there anything actually noticable?
I'm mostly looking forward to Oreo and hopefully fixing the metadata Bluetooth problem.
Nothing noticeable. Updated security patch to December.
As someone that uses auto night light. It is broken now. It is no longer automatic at least with boot password. Have not tried without yet.
If i'm rooted and bootloader unlocked what will happen if I accept the update?

That's exactly what would happen. But no real harm other than your wasted time and bandwidth.
Follow up to my previous post. Even with boot password off. Auto Night Light still broken.

In settings my A2017U says night light will never turn on automatically. C.F.Lumin by Chainfire has been my go to for years. It will work without root also.

I installed it. Turned GPS on high accuracy. Stock auto night light started work. To confirm I uninstalled C.F. Lumen and it is still working. TBH I forgot all about C.F. Lumen as I run it on my tablet.
Hi,
I've noticed the issue and it started to annoy me
When I get the phone to landscape position it does not auto-rotate.
It was working previously, but I don't know when exactly it stopped and what could cause it.
I have tried to restart the phone, to wipe the cache partition, to restore factory settings - nothing helped.
Is this known issue or should I ask for service and hardware repair?
It's happening with my Huawei P20 Lite ANE-LX1 8.0.0.146(C461).

Until now it's just you who reported the issue here, a few questions before you go for service repair:
Since when do you have your phone?
Did it fell sometimes?
Are you using a custom ROM or the original one from Huawei?
And of course I had to ask even though it's obvious, do you have auto-rotate option ON or OFF?
Cheers,
AS

Let's answer one by one
I've purchased it brand new one month ago (9-Nov-18).
It never fell nor bumped hard.
I'm using original Huawei ROM.
Auto-rotate is ON, of course
Thanks,
Brdja
Good morning
I have some news for you, there is a current problem with also a person with problems on the compass (sensor for rotation) @Rondrey, and I can see your versions are the same.
So before you guys send your phone to warranty I suggest the following:
Either downgrade to the previous version of the EMUI or wait for another update from OTA.
To install or downgrade official software please look into this thread/guide by @kilroystyx:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p20-lite/how-to/rom-official-emui-8-0-huawei-p20-lite-t3773999
So either you guys wait for the latest update 8.0.0.147 on build C461 of your country and see if it fixes it or downgrade to 8.0.0.145 or 8.0.0.144 using a dload package (step 7 of the guide of kilroystyx).
Kindly,
AS

However, I decided to hand it to official service in order not to void warranty.

If it's easier for you fine, but no you don't lose warranty using his 7th way of flashing firmware via Dload package

it happened after an official EMUI Update to latest UI. And I have seen multiple communities even huawie people have no solution people just change the device and stopped updating it.

Should be fixable by software, it's Huawei's fault obviously altough right now, the only thing you can do to make it work is either having a custom ROM to see if works alright which it should if it doesn't try custom kernels and check if it works out
Else you need to downgrade to a version which was working before.

Hello, i want to change my phone's vendor(country) from china to middle east, where can i get the update.app file which does it for me?(if it still works like that, i remmember that i installed an update.app file a while back on my honor 6 that changed it's country info from normal to meaf, does honor 10 even work the same way?)
to be more specific i want to change my phone's firmware from china(COL-AL10) to middle east(COL-L29) i know that there is a guide here which shows that but i was wondering if having the vendor file makes the rom changing easier or not

i have another question, if i change my vendor to somewhere like middle east or europe, can i install global rom(COL-L29) without unlocking my bootloader and custom recovery? will there be any risk of bricking?

Unless your bootloader is unlocked you can do nothing. Else you can try with service center or funkyhuawei which is paid service.
I just bought recently MI A3 2 days ago and upon unboxing , I instantly updated it to android 10. Then I suddenly noticed on my official receipt that it is a MI A3 EU... But here is my current rom and it came from OTA. MI meaning it is global. The store is an official MI Store here in the Philippines. In the box it has EU label also next to MI A3 label. Am i global or EU? Planning to unlock and flash stock pie and relock
You are definitely in Global ROM, as the Android 10 EU ROM haven't rolled out yet. Also, there are no practical differences between one rom or another, more than EU policies and stuff like that.

Well actually just concern with warranty
Do not downgrade Android version after you successfully installed Android 10. There are user reports and also Xiaomi confirms that it makes permanent changes to some partitions and your phone won't work correctly after the downgrade.

Official warning: https://c.mi.com/thread-2918723-1-0.html
I can't find the report on mi forum, but I recall that it was non functional WiFi and maybe some other things. Most probably related to persist partition.
There is no other option how to rollback than to use Fastboot, so yes, even if you use Fastboot you're risking non functional phone.
I don't know about stock 9 rom, but after I flashed the offical Android 10 rom, I went back to miui (which is Android 9) and my phone is working perfectly fine.

Well MIUI is different from Android One
I have a Mi 10 (codename umi) currently on MIUI 12 Global Stable v12.5.8.0(RJBEUXM). I've seen the MIUI 13 update available via Fastboot or Recovery modes for it but idk how to do it that way. Can anyone tell me when it will get the OTA update? My model says it's eligible to receive it but I can't seem to find anything about when that might eventually be. Thx ₍˄·͈༝·͈˄₎◞ ̑̑

Thx much, I wasn't aware of that. I finally received the OTA update & am now on 13.0.4.0(SJBEUXM)
The MIUI 13.0.4.0 SJBMIX has been out for a couple of days now.
I'm using it with magisk and adaway and it's working fine, but missing out on thousands off adds makes me feel sad, because now I don't even know wether I don't want the products I didn't even know I didn't want. Does that even count as living at all?
