Strange issue with mi a2 - Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers

So i've got Mi a2 device and from the last week it has a brighter screen sections, around whole display (looks similar to the p20pro glue gate). So i decided to send it to the Amazon, but currently I am using the PixelOs ROM, so I need to flash it back to stock Rom, and then lock bootloader. The problem is, that I can't flash it via MI Flash (device error, or smth like that, all device tools doesn't work at all too), and when I wanted to just Flash it in TWRP I recognized that's support only .zip files and the Rom is in a diffrent format. Last time, I did ,,big back to the stock rom action" I found a website, with the commands, that allows you to flash it with GZ file, and Minimal ADB and Fastboot, but I just Can't find it now (Thanks Google), so I'm asking here: How can I back to the stock rom using Twrp only (or command prompt ofc).

Convert Back to A2
Download latest a2 stock rom.
Put phone to edl mode again (fastboot oem edl)
Flash stock rom via QFİLL with same method (Select .ddr and xml files from stock rom folder) and power up.
Done.
(If you have wifi camera or splash screen problems. Flash stockrom with miflash on fastboot (vol down + power ) again.)

I discovered all my sensors no enable.
How to fix this? What i can do?
I have this problem now. Did you ever find a solution?
If you are allready converted to 6X and have TWRP do this:
-boot to TWRP
-connect your phone to PC and copy persist.img from stock MIUI 9 ROM used to convert to A2 to 6X
-In TWRP go to Install, then Intall Image, navigate to your persist.img and Select Partition to Flash Image: Persist
-After flash, reboot to System and now your all sensors should work
I have attached persist.img so You can use this one...

Is fingerprint fast as original? Because I convert a2 to 6x but the fingerprint sensor was very slow.
FP sensor is working perfectly, precise, fast, face unlock instantly also. I am curently on MIUI 10 latest from xiaomi.eu and everything is fast and fluid.
Thank you i think it worked.

Guys, I can't solve the problem using this method with Mi 6x on MIUI 11, it only works on MIUI 10. I searched persist.img on rom MIUI 11 beta but I couldn't find it. How do I solve this problem using MIUI 11?

after i got miui 10 i sticked with it until miui 11 was launched, i just upgraded it and all still worked good!!! now im currently using pixelexperience 10, all is still good, i never again touched the persist
I am also using Pixel Experience 10 and I am no longer with this problem. PE already comes with API2 enabled, so I don't think it corrupts the persist partition.

HELP: convert 6x to A2

Hello,
i have just received a 6x that has MIUI 9.5 installed on it
i want to convert it to A2 but i have never done this before, it is reporting anti: 2 which i guess is good since it is not 4
what are the steps to convert it ? the mobile is stock
EDIT:
can i install the below rom from xiaomi.eu ?
xiaomi.eu_multi_MI6X_V10.3.5.0.PDCCNXM_v10-9.zip

i have already applied for Unlock through Mi software and waiting for the 7 days to pass
That`s not true.
I didn`t try it, because there`s no reason for that, but this is how to put back from 6X to A2
To restore everything back to A2, do the same thing, just use the original stock with en.miui.com for A2 for flash ROMs. Flashing for the first time from EDL, then once again from the fastboot to restore the fastboot properly. After the first flash, you do not have a logo for fastboot, just a black screen. To put it all in its place, another flash is miflash but from fastboot.

EDIT: I`m sorry. I was think that You was convert your A2 to 6x, and You want to bring it back to A2.
You can try it. Since the anti-rollback still not activated (anti 2), you can just flash your device to Mi A2 with MiFlash. Use official stock ROM Mi A2 and put your device in EDL mode, then just flash it like usual.

open fastboot :
fastboot getvar all
there will be a bunch of info ...if the ARB number is higher than 4 the answer is NO
fyi: you can enter edl from fastboot or twrp custom recovery if your phone is in working order .. shorting the pins ( test point) by opening phone physically only becomes necessary if your phone is bricked
open fastboot :
fastboot oem edl
***something to consider is you can't just flash an android 1 rom ...you need to download the repartition script to repartition your partition layout or all attempts will fail

Question Bricked Xiaomi Mi 11 Pro

Ive been trying to flash a global rom to my xiaomi Mi 11 pro for some time.I have flashed twrp but obviously it doesnt stick around if the rom flash does not work. I cant seem to find one on the latest Venus firmware, every time i attempt to flash the latest available on xiaomi dot EU it comes up with the firmware is star/mars and your device is venus. i attempted to flash back to china recovery https://xiaomirom.com/en/download/mi-11-venus-weekly-21.9.29/ and this bricked my device.Unsure if its trying to boot the wrong partition a/b but then i dont know what im talking about really. Can anyone offer some advice on this?
As a side ote, the phone does not turn on, connect to pc, boot to recovery or reset mode.
Seems to me you flashed firmware for Mi 11 Pro, and you have Venus which is Mi 11, and this is Mi 11 forum. ? Also you don't need twrp to flash official firmware, global or EEA version.
You can find firmwares here.. mifirm.net or here c.mi.com

Mi 11 Pro is Mars and share the same ROM than Star (Mi 11 Ultra) but it's NOT Venus (Mi 11).
TWRP is the same for Mars/Star. Anyway your Mi 11 Pro has nothing to do with a Mi 11 Venus.
The only way is to flash the fastboot CN Official here
But apparently you can't access fastboot mode ?

redmi note 9 bootloop, only fastboot mode, locked BL, lost mi account

i have no idea what version the device is on, is there a solution ?
I'm sorry to hear that. The MIUI update from 12.0.5 to 12.0.9 (EEA) bricked my Redmi Note 9, my only solution was to use the Mi Flash and Wipe Storage. I lost around 30GB of photos as the brick occurred right after I came home from the vacation. The best solution would be unlocking the bootloader to at least access the custom recovery and backup everything through USB to PC. Another problem is the MediaTek chipset, harder to find custom ROMs and recoveries. Maybe using the SP Flash Tool would remove the "Unlock this device by the previous account" lock. I found this thread talking about this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/redmi-note-9-locked-i-need-help.4234901/post-84507905
i cant unlock bootloader cuz i lost the connected mi account
If you can enter in fastboot, just flash the stock rom again.

how ? the mi flash tool gives "error erasing boot" , that means the bootloader is locked right ?
Try to flash manually.
Erasing is not required, you just need to flash.
If bootloader is locked, you can flash signed images only.
All images came from stock miui, are signed.
so i only have to flash stock rom with sp flash tool without any editing ?
where do i get the right stock rom ?
You can flash it using fastboot too, if you can enter in fastboot.
