[rom & tutorial] update fake rom 8.2.0.2 to global dev official with lock bootloader

[rom & tutorial] update fake rom 8.2.0.2 to global dev official with lock bootloader
UPDATE YOUR FAKE ROM 8.2.0.2 TO GLOBAL DEV OFFICIAL WITH LOCK BOOTLOADER​*link ROM for ROOTED USERS WITH TWRP IS BELOW
Since I know most dont like the hassle of unlocking and wish to stay at locked bootloader but able to receive official updates.
I found a way to update your fake ROM (usually 8.2.0.2 NCAMIEC)
Accessible via MI PCsuite from mentioned fake ROM (if you are already on China ROM, you can't use this method)
Do follow below tutorial - no unlocking needed.
Only your mi6 & its cable ofc
PC/Laptop with proper ADB driver
Internet Connection
*******wipe data before flashing is highly recommended to avoid errors and FC
FIRST: MAKE SURE YOUR DEVICE IS IN RECOVERY MODE then CHOOSE "CONNECT WITH MI ASSISTANT"
SECOND : Connect your MI6 to your PC
- MI PCSuite still wont read your phone -
THIRD: Click the arrow on Update and Choose :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
R.Flash
and MI PCsuite will search proper update for you
FOURTH : Just wait until the download is done, then it will be updated
*NOTE THAT IF YOU DONT WIPE DATA BEFORE UPDATING;
FIRST UPDATE WILL BE FAILED
but dont be sad (lol)
TRY ONE MORE TIME
(at 81-83% MI PCSuite will show that the update is failed but your phone is still booting, why? because the data of 8.2.0.2 is a modified rom and updater will crash)
Current Update is 7.6.1
7.6.1 :WEB APPS OFFICIAL SUPPORT
QUICK CHARGE INDICATOR
ETC ETC
Good Luck.
FOR ROOTED USERS WITH TWRP: ​
Flash like any other ROM.
FLASH SUPERSU OR CHANGE THE BOOT.IMG TO EU OR ANY OTHER MODIFIED BOOT.IMG
(IF NOT BOOTLOOP)
or use this method: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72576697&postcount=23

Have you tried via recovery?

Does that mean I need to rename the rom to update.zip and flash in recovery?

Installing via twrp gives you bootloop

Why leak? It's official global developer OTA ROM...

It's labeled "Leak" because it's not officially announced by Xiaomi.

Is this the file? It's in Chinese. Did you manage to find an English version Mi Recovery that's suitable for Mi6?

So, anyone really tried it via recovery?? I am on stable chinese rom.

How to install this rom, i'm on chinese stable

can i install this without unlocking the bootloader ?

The language changed to wtv language your phone is on. I tried via twrp and got bootloop. tried via recovery with eu rom and nothing happened. I'm going to try the recovery again but on chinese stable or dev next.

Probably not possible unless you're already on the global stable 8.2.0.2 rom.
Edit: after trying with recovery on china dev, no good. Can't verify. Unless we have tgz file

if you are on chinese stable try this method
unlock bootloader (must have!)
fastboot boot twrp-3.1.1.0-sagit-v2.img (must be this version)
in TWRP
wipe-format data
copy ROM to internal storage (while still in twrp)
flash rom
restart
enjoy ROM
---------- Post added at 04:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:44 PM ----------
if method gives bootloop, you should encrypt your files prior to boot
after flashing the rom, flash chinese orig recovery, restart recovery and choose 2nd option, 2nd option (a red message will appear). its ok, chose the only option available, and voila a green message will apear.
now first option to reboot and that's it your phone will boot (hopefully).
I talk about options because the only mi 6 original recovery i found is chinese so i don't understand anything.
But... as far as i can understand it will make a factory reset and will encrypt your files again.
without encryption miui won't boot. (don't know why though)

Yup, you're right. It was the encryption that was preventing it to boot. 2nd method mentioned worked. Thanks :good:

yeah, i got mi6 with eng bootloader now, i can see that the second option is wipe data/factory reset, so finally steps would be
unlock bootloader (must have!)
fastboot boot twrp-3.1.1.0-sagit-v2.img (must be this version)
in TWRP
wipe-format data
copy ROM to internal storage (while still in twrp)
flash rom
restart recovery
now should boot mi recovery
choose wipe data (second option)
restart system
enjoy ROM
please more confirm on this tutorial, thanks!

hmm, if i unlock bootloader, i wont receive any fota right ?

no, if you install official rom always will be ota

CONGRATS TO @davidporter1010 ON THE FIRST EVER ROOTED LG G6!!!
Video review by @davidporter1010 https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&persist_app=1&noapp=1&v=alH4YEiV5bc
A message to those with other variants of the G6:
The H870 International variant and the us997 are the only ones with an official bootloader unlock from LG.
Should there be a time where your flashing mechanisms get cracked, simply mention my name on this thread or via private message and I would be happy to create a thread with TWRP for your device.
WHAT IS TWRP?
Oh come on, you know what it is - don't try to fool me!
In case you're serious, though...
Team Win Recovery Project is a custom recovery for Android devices.
It allows you to back up and restore your data, flash custom ROMs to your device, repair broken file systems, and root your device.
DOWNLOAD
BUILD 4
You can donate here to help me buy a us997 and that way I can further contribute towards development:

You can find the recovery here:

Unstable: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B7S6ou836i7ASl9LQWhIc2k0RkU
FULL STEPS FOR OBTAINING ROOT
Follow LG's bootloader unlocking instructions here before you begin!
1. Download the latest TWRP .img for your device from this thread
2. Use the same fastboot tool you downloaded in the LG unlock instructions to flash TWRP using the command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-x.x.x-x-us997.img
* Replace x.x.x-x with the actual version you are flashing!
3. Enter "fastboot reboot recovery" into the fastboot tool
4. Swipe to allow modifications, then hit wipe and tap format data, type "yes" and press enter
3. Install SuperSU, or Magisk to gain root and make system bootable, or just flash
no DMvertity opt file to make system bootable without root
8. Go to [Reboot] -> [System].
Wait 2-5 minutes for your device to finish setting itself up.

HOW-TO INITIALIZE TWRP: (for new phones)
1. If you completed Part 1 successfully, you should be in TWRP now. At this point, you will reach the screen asking you if you want to allow system modifications.
2. Select "Keep /system RO". (Don't swipe right or you may not be able to boot into system if you failed to complete next steps. However, you can swipe right to allow modifications if you are confident that you can complete next steps.)
3. Go to "Wipe" menu of TWRP and you will find "Format Data". Press "Format Data" and type "yes" to continue.
4. Go to "Reboot" menu and Press "Recovery" to reboot TWRP.
5. Download the latest dm-verity and force encryption disabler zip on your computer.
6. Transfer the zip to your phone.
- Option 1: MTP: Connect your phone with computer and just copy the zip to internal storage. (similar to how you transfer files when in system.)
- Option 2: ADB: Connect your phone with computer and run command "adb push /path/to/zip /sdcard/".
- Option 3: External SD: Copy the zip to an external SD and then insert the card to your phone.
7. Go to "Install" menu of TWRP and flash the zip.
TWRP is initialized and fully functional at this stage. Now you can either reboot into system or root, flash custom ROMs via TWRP.

[ROOT][SM-T580/585&all Tabs A][CF-AUTO-ROOT][Simplest method to get ROOT & TWRP ]
This is old method, not actual now. Please don't use it. Try to install magisk via TWRP.
For owners SM-T585 and SM-T580 : you can use this method https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-a/themes/mod-twrp-odin-t3650215
Hi folks . Dear @Chainfire update your CF-Auto-Root base and now we get opportunity to have root with the simplest method ! It works now on 6.0 and 7.0 stock firmwares . Sorry but knox is tripped .
Now this works on SM-T580 , SM-T585
Complete list you can see on https://autoroot.chainfire.eu/ .
HOW INSTALL :
BASIC INSTRUCTIONS
All downloads contain .tar.md5 files flashable in ODIN as AP.
Make sure your device is in ODIN download mode (usually you can get there by holding VolDown+Home+Power when the device is turned off), then start the included Odin file, press the AP button, select the .tar.md5 file, and click Start. You can find more detailed instructions and assistance at XDA.
A modified recovery and cache partition will be flashed, which will install (only) SuperSU, then clean-up the cache partition and re-flash the stock recovery.
For the root to work, the device must reboot into recovery. Most devices will do this automatically after flashing these files, but in case that does not happen, please boot into recovery manually.
After it, TWRP is installed via the official application https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.twrp.twrpapp&hl= very easy.

i have the same problem. how did you solve it?
edit: I tried the procedure again and then all ok..

My question is, if in my developer options I do not have the OEM Unlock toggle but I still have a CF-AutoRoot that works for my device, is it actually unlocking my bootloader? I'm talking about the T-350 in this instance.
Because I have a T-560 which which does run the same MSM8916 board, yet still shipped with an unlocked bootloader. The size difference between the tablets is the only real difference I've seen between the 560 & 350.

The T350 doesn't have a locked bootloader and neither does OEM UNLOCK unlock the bootloader on any Samsung device.

[help] files and folders weirdly renamed in twrp recovery Mi A2

you can use adb sideload to flash something that will not be installed on sdcard tho, I used adb sideload to flash a zip that puts cerberus as system app

have you reset your phone? does it work for you? actually i already flashed stock my phone rom with mi tool, and installed the beta pie update. the same problem persist

the reason i want to use twrp becoz i want to flash an audio mod zip, it's called viper4android. for previous android oreo, i did it using magisk modules. it worked perfectly. but now, everytime i install that module through magisk, viper keep asking me to install its audio driver, i click yes, then a reboot needed, but it still requesting it everytime i reboot my phone. does anyone know how can i install viper4android on my a2?

that's right, Viper4Android(Magiskmethod) is not working anymore on Pie. you can try to flash the viper installer trough adb sideload, TWRP->advanced->adb sideload->(start it), then go to your pc and run adb sideload filename.zip, if you get an error, try using PBRB or viceversa, let me know if you get Viper working on Pie

you don't need to factory reset... if you are just temporarily booting twrp.img, when you reboot your phone it will take the original (or patched) boot.img and it will boot normally, this is not a permament encrypted files bug

unfortunately it's not working. it caused boot loop for me, the zip flash successfully, then i reboot the phone, open viper, it asks to install the driver, i click yes, then reboot, my a2 stuck on boot loop, the android one swinging things... then i hold power button and my phone restarts normally. but viper still ask for driver. no luck. is there a way to install this driver manually? with root access, i can copy paste the driver files in my system directory. i doubt it works like that. thanks

I have this same issue. Ran into a bootloop issue, fastboot flashed a stock rom so I could get into my system. My entire sdcard is jibberish names. Even as my data is restored from my google account, it continues to be all jibberish as per OP. I would've thought as I restored the apps, normal named folders would be appearing but apparently not...

I faced the same it was fixed only after I flashed the latest (December) patched for magisk boot img. It first started after trying to flash twrp on pie. Bootloop fastboot flashed then again jibberish on any file manager plus camera was not recognising internal storage to store photos. Pc was recognising internal storage with again jibberish folder names but when I tried copying a file from pc nothing happened. It was only fix only after flashed patched boot like mentioned before

Hello, could you bettere explain how I could my encrypted file and storage back? I have the some problem TWRP + Pie but I'm noob...

If you're on official pie the only thing u need in order to get access to your data is the stock recovery and boot image. You can download the latest fastboot rom (or the one u have if it wasn't the latest) and fastboot flash boot.img and recovery.img. you can find in the room section patched boot images for root with magisk. For start you can try flashing only that, leave the recovery and see if it boots. If it fails to boot I'm afraid you have to fastboot flash the whole rom (it's a batch file and it runs all the commands automatically - it takes long around 25 minutes) but I believe your data partition will be formatted but you will have a working phone again

Also just a tip (correct me if I'm wrong) the data encryption on pie roms occurs the moment you put a security pin or pattern for lockscreen on setup wizard. If you don't the there is no encryption.

I follow this topic https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2/how-to/how-to-enabling-cam2-gcam-android-t3868766 until flash of patched image but my file are still encrypted. Of course I can't install magisk because my storage is blocked. Any suggestion?

I don't flash, only use fastboot boot name.img, maybe the problem is related to this?

If I remember correctly I did a factory reset after flashing the rom with the patched boot.img cause after first boot I had the same problem with storage.

Ok but by doing a factory reset all data will be erased, right?

Ahoy there, good to see you.
ROM is running, brilliantly.
:good:

Nice ROM.. work.. my problem is TWRP DECRYPTION ç.ç after install this rom i have problem to read file i have all folder encrypted

Does this rom require specific Pie firmware or are all compatible? I have tried a few roms on here an had nothing but problems trying to get them to boot etc even on required firmwares an dont wanna go through the nightmare of restoring it to stock functuality.

To update use the updater tab in settings, it should work even if you're encrypted

You won't be able to see your files within TWRP but updates through the updater will work

I'm going to try this soon, does anybody have a guide?
Does it require stock recovery to be flashed then wipe after instal or before installing rom?

Before installation
------------------------------
Make a back up of your data.
Download the ROM and Mind the G-Apps.
Installation
------------------
1. Copy the ROM and G-Apps to your ADB folder.
2. Install TWRP via fastboot in bootloader, I used official 3.3.0.2
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk "name of recovery"
3. Boot to TWRP.
Fastboot reboot (pull cable and hold up straight away)
4. Push both ROM and G-Apps to /tmp from the ADB folder.
ADB push "name of ROM" /tmp
ADB push "name of G-Apps" /tmp
5. Perform a wipe in TWRP.
6. Install ROM and G-Apps.
(Not sure if the below is necessary but I did it)
7. Boot to bootloader and install stock recovery.
Fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk "name of stock recovery"
8. Boot to stock recovery and wipe / data factory reset and wipe cache.
Boot ROM.
Rooting
-------------
I used the latest magisk but magisk manager 7.2.0.
Install via TWRP, you'll need to reinstall TWRP again..
From this point OTA's will take care of further updates so no need to wipe again.

So no changes in update script needed?
Sorry for the million questions but i have never hated a phone so much as this trying to flash roms an having to restore to stock etc.
I know this isn't developers problem but trying to save myself hours of the possibility of it going wrong yet again an trying to restore stock....
Appreciate everyone's help as this looks amazing, i despise EMUI.

I have a problem , my storage is crypted,i also can't install google chrome , can't save any photo , cant do anything

Yea I had this problem myself, I believe it was because I didn't use the stock recovery to wipe before the first boot.
Did you follow instructions?
Your SD partition had encryption from a previous time.
If you need to return to stock then follow the guide in my sig.

You don't need to change anything from the zip, it'll work on the P20 Pro out of the box
To push the zip you can use adb sideload or an external sd card and right after you flash the rom for the first time, wipe data using the stock recovery

Can I use an Open Gapps instead of the MindTheGapps ?
Does this rom have a deep sleep problem? I mean the situation when device cannot go to the deep sleep mode after charging the phone or heavy use and I need to reboot my phone to start deep sleep working again.
