10.1.2 update - Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers

Anyone got the update yet? I got a notification but when I tried to update it was gone.

Oh gosh I thought it was just me seeing things!

I downloaded the update and tried to update through the updater but failed. Got the message "Error:7".

I downloaded the update, change the zip file to update.zip. Using the updater without problem.
Now in 10.1.2
Stock Camera got night mode now, however, GCam still need "Buffer Fix" Option to work.

You updated coming from 10.1.1? From where did you get the zip file from?

You can download from here:
v10.1.2.0
http://bigota.d.miui.com/V10.1.2.0.....PEAMIFI-V10.1.2.0.PEAMIFI-c214dee6fa-9.0.zip

Wonder why the update is revoked. Anyone has a bigota update link or something similar?

Yes, this is an incremental update from 10.1.1.0 to 10.1.2.0.
The ROM of course is official, you cannot update an unofficial ROM without unlocking bootloader.

The update is not "revoked". It's just the moderator will remove any unofficial post of ROM in the forum. They want to keep all the ROMs under one official post.

Well, if you're so skeptical, then please wait for OTA.

Apologies, I meant that as an honest question, not to sound skeptical. Just wanted to know how you downloaded it, as I'd like to install it too.

OTA update requires stock recovery.
You can use TWRP to flash the full ROM, but not OTA update.
I think this is the reason.

I recieved OTA

Hello, if anyone is still looking for some OTA screenshots, or proof that the rollout has started. BTW im from Romania
Oh c'mon ! I also live in Romania and nothing yet for me... Anyone else got the OTA update ?
BTW, my carrier is telekom, but I don't think that matters
When will OTA be available in India?
Can anybody received OTA 5.0 in India?

I don't think the OTA is country specific. It's done in random batches I think.

Yes, a friend running stock ROM with no root or any modification. Btw, you can download the ota zip from android police and flash the zip using adb sideload with the help of default stock recovery.

Happy for ya, man, but please don't forget about the rest of us. From what I understand, you are one of the 1% and Google await some kinda feedback from this 1% group (sent out automatically by the device) before they proceed to the next step - the 25%. So, please... please do not f*ck with your phone for the next 24-48 hours so that it sends out a positive signal or feedback (whatever), thus making Google move ahead to the 25% phase of the rollout. Here's hoping my device is part of that 25%. *fingers crossed*
I also live in Romania, my carrier is Digi, and the N5 i own is from them. No update yet, been bugging with the check for updates button all day yesterday
I know I could force update but i wanna use the OTA because i wanna see how Google envisioned the whole upgrade experience
Also this will be the only phone i will not be messing around with.
It doesn't matter how many times you mash the "Check for update" button. I read yesterday that they rollout the update to 1% of the devices to check for issues with the upgrade. If you didn't make it in the first wave, you won't force it by checking. Then they release it to 25%, 50% and so on. You can get the OTA from HERE manually, if you want it so badly. I flashed the factory image and didn't restore anything. Be sure to get the KTU84P, as the KTU84Q is only for a very small part of the world.
Edit: I found the Reddit thread that discusses this policy.

Android System Update *root* 24.6 MB........

I was hoping someone could help me out with this......
I've been getting this irritating "Android System Update" (screenshot attached) week after week.
I'm rooted (unlocked bootloader), running stock 5.1.1
This update keeps showing up and when I go to install it, the phone reboots, then it goes it TWRP. I'm assuming this hasn't installed correctly because it keeps coming back.
Does anyone know how to get rid of this or install it correctly. It's becoming quite annoying when it pops up time after time.
Thank you-
Install the update manually or block OTAs.

So I just need to find the security patch and manually install it?
Now where to find it, LOL
I'd start by reading the stickies at the top of the thread list... Good readng.
this update would probably be LMY48I, for the stagefright patch.
what is your current build number?

The link you posted is for Galaxy Nexus (not N6). It is the same page, but a different location. You need https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#shamu
@IINexusII is likely correct that the update you received is LMY48I. So you should be able to flash that

Thank you all very much for your help.
I'll try to patch one of these updates this weekend when I have some time off.
I'm the gatekeeper for all that is Android OS in my family. Myself, my Mom and now my Dad all have Nexus 6' and I've rooted us all. So I install it on my phone first and then the same with theirs.
I was so happy I found a fix for the MLB At Bat app and their stupid blackout rules.
This is just great, been having the same issue and versions
This covered everything I had at the moment!
I applied the update tonight, sick of those damn OTA prompts.
This is where I got mine from, but still not sure if I chose the right one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/development/fxz-nexus-6-recovery-flashable-fastboot-t3066052
Installed the download from:
LVY48F (5.1.1 Project Fi bugfix update 20150910)
It says Project Fi only, but I have no idea what that is. I didn't see an option for LVY48I, so I went with LVY48F.
Did I do this right?
Want to make sure I didn't screw up my phone.
I tried installing the OEM ROM from here, but it failed while trying to flash it via TWRP recovery:
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#shamu
"5.1.1 (LMY48I)"
Anyone?

No. At 9%, it throws an (anti-rollback) error and reboots phone. I've spent all afternoon trying to hack into DL mode to get the port open. No luck so far. We NEED a valid TOT for ZVB.

WIll I get automatic OTAs after I install Magisk on the Oneplus 5t?

The 5T is currently on Nougat. It will get an Oreo OTA one day.
Will having Magisk installed prevent the OTA from being downloaded/installed automatically?
Will I have to download the OTA myself and flash it manually using ADB or a custom recovery?
Also will I have to download the full image or just the OTA?
Hope someone can answer this.
Thanks!

With magisk, you will be able to take/install an ota using your phone by at least restoring your boot.img.... You must have stock recovery of course, so you have to restore it if you have a custom one... I suggest disabling automatic update, it will notify you anyway if you have one...
Sent from my MI 5 using Tapatalk
Okay thanks. Thats what I wanted to know.
It will detect if you have magisk installed, then it will download a full zip which you have to flash manually through TWRP just like a custom ROM. After that, just flash magisk again. (Assuming you still have TWRP installed).
Also what Didgeridoohan said.

No need for restoring boot or recovery image.

The system doesn't care, if you want OTA size you have to download from OnePlus website or somewhere in XDA.

Actually, you can add the OnePlus system update to the Hide list and it'll fool it into downloading the regular OTA.
Edit: of course, you can't install it without restoring stock boot image and recovery...

I guess you didn't get what I mean... We all know you can download an update from any source if available... The point is taking the ota directly on your device... I for example don't want to fail an ota because the system will then tell me to download a larger size/full rom to update my device... That's something some people wants to avoid to conserve some data...

The update is only listed at 99MB? Your file is 1.4GB. I'm not sure exactly what we would be flashing with this file.
I installed the zip https://android.googleapis.com/pack.../09c48ba6cb9415820640cf217855b5463a1e0cd5.zip in recovery. it took a minute or two. step 1/2 just wait a little bit. you will lose twrp recovery and root. but im now updated to march 2020 security update. im ok with that. Im not that concerned with the whole root thing. just letting you guys know It Works
im still on sep 2019 update
