For activate camera2api you need unlocked bootloader, you don't need root but you need the bootloader unlocker. When you unlock your bootloader you gonna lose your data.

there's a trick that works with A1 that you may want to try:
enable fastboot
boot into fastboot
type the oem unlock command WITH BUTTON DOWN PRESSED
phone reboots directly to fastboot again
typoe: fastboot reboot
??
profit!
i don't know it it also works for a2

To activate the camera2API you need root (access to the smartphone with elevated permissions), at least root temporary.

So you need root and a unlocked bootloader.

if i try to install pixel 3 camera app without rooting my MI A2 ..will it work after the android 9.0 update? if it's gonna work then, will i still get those monthly security patch updates or the OTA updates?

No need root, just to unlock. You need to go to pie first and then enable camera2api. if you upgrade from Oreo you will loose it in pie.

Hi everyone,
i was thinking about going back from Pie to orea to unlock the bootloader.
I know how to revert back but i wonder, is bootUNlock on Oreo still possible when you installed Pie before?

Yes, it is possible mo matter what, if you are on older firmware...
Great!
Wondering if someone could point me to a guide on how to downgrade to oreo and unlock the bootloader on the 7 Plus?
No need to downgrade. Open developer settings. Disable and re-enable it. You can enable OEM unlock

Unlocking bootloader: definitive bye-bye to automatic updates?

With the Moto Z, after I returned the phone to stock (flashed stock firmware and locked the bootloader), I'd be able to flash stock firmware with the flashing locked.
Not so with the Motorola One Zoom. In other words, flashing stock and re-locking didn't return the phone to its pristine state. Even when flashing stock firmware over stock firmware, I have to unlock the bootloader.
Differences I observed: on the bootloader screen, when re-locked the Z would show "oem_locked" again. On the One Zoom, it shows "flashing_locked" instead. I'm pretty sure it showed "oem_locked" before unlocking.
WIth the Z, every time I wanted to unlock the bootloader, I had to issue "fastboot oem unlock" followed by the unlock code. The code isn't necessary with the re-locked One Zoom.
In other words, maybe it was a one-way trip. It seems that the phone won't return to its original state, it looks it's modified for good. And I'm afraid this means bye-bye to automatic updates.
Am I missing something here?
My bootloader is also unlocked and I dont have any problems with receiving and installing OTAs I also have Magisk and EdExposed installed - no problems at all.

Phew! I'm glad I'll be able to install OTAs. Have you tried flashing it manually or via RSD Lite? Here it won't flash.

What instruction did you use to unlock the bootloader?
What region is your device manufactured for?
Does your PC see your device connected to the fastboot mod?
What does this command give you:
Code:
fastboot devices
If the device is detected, enter the command:
Code:
fastboot getvar all
And copy the result here.

Did you update with bootloader unlocked ?
Because I am afraid of bricking the phone while updating to android 10 with bootloader unlocked and camera api2 enabled. Please help me! Should I locked the bootloader ?
In fact, I tried to lock with command "fastboot OEM lock" but it failed. I did not mod the device except enabling api2. I haven't unlocked critical bootloader.

I have unlocked bootloader but I did not critical unlocked as I only had to enabled camera api2 persistently ; which I did successfully on android pie few month ago. Now my problem is I am in dilemma whether to install android 10 OTA, like I used to previously with unlocked bootloader or shall I have to relock and format device before updating ?
I have neither installed any custom recover nor any other mod except enabling api2 using temporary patched boot

I've tried many ROMs, the only one that is working flawlessly is Resurrection Remix (i'm on 8.6.5).
It fully supports both MIUI Cam and GCam (i'm using the_dise 4.5) with good video and audio recording, astro photography and Slow Motion. They also support selecting second camera for shooting.
All the other custom roms based on aosp have the crappy audio recording issue.

I don't think so. To lock bootloader you need to have untouched system, boot. Otherwise your device will be bricked. I don't see reasons for relocking bootloader (your data will be wiped!)

Question Mi 11 Black Screen after Update to MIUI 12.0.9.0 RKBMIXM via Updater app

Please help fellow person in trouble here guys, i have so many data stored in the device and the device only shows Always on Display (AOD) running after the update finished and restart. Can somebody tell is it possible to at least get my data back? My bootloader are not unlocked and I use global device performing local update using zip via Updater app. Then suddenly the black screen happen after the device prompt to reboot :/
You flashed the whole rom or the ota update? Im asking because i flashed the same as you yesterday 12.0.9.0 RKBMIXM but my bootloader is unlocked and i flashed the whole rom file (3.1gb) and everythings working fine for me
Same thing happened to mine, when updating via updater, flashed whole 3.1gb, after updating then rebooted it got stuck on bootloader, so i factory reset then it got locked, had to go to service center as the password on my mi account wont work. My bootloader was locked also btw.
Seems like the locked bootloader is the problem. Can someone else confirm this?
Usually you can try to enter recovery mode to wipe data. Which will format the phone, because the version you're trying to flash isn't yet stable to flash. Hope this helps.
Yes, after flash and reboot it will become blank screen, but when try to turn off, the usual four icon menu will appear, just restart into recovery and wipe data will start the phone successfully.

Guys I want to have some infos on Xiaomi mi 11 lite 5g.. i just buy it and want to root, I think there is no recovery for the moment. For root, I need to unlock bootloader, and it wipe the entire phone. But after root, does it block OTA, or I have to relock to update and so on...thanks

It doesnt block OTA if you unlock bootloader. You will be able to get OTA as long as you have stock recovery
