How can I remove the October update on my phone or fix? I install and the phone does not turn on :crying::crying::crying:
https://c.mi.com/thread-2533551-1-0.html same here, fastboot continue worked for me
and reposted here too: https://c.mi.com/thread-2533525-1-0.html - becasue feedbacks they are responding to faster.
I had the same problem, i fixed it by just connecting the device to my laptop using the usb cable.Just restart it once to twice and it worked.
Now when it boots up it says that the update has failed, but when i again update the phone, it shuts down the phone at next login, but when i restart the device again the device was updated to october verson

Wow, that's weird, but it can't be Xiaomi fault, cause the OTA is ok and working fine

i disagree. they are at fault. no ota should brick stock phones. ever. this has happend before on other phones too (mi 9se being the latest one i've seen). some users would update properly and some would just end up with nice and expensive paperweights. via ota. if i was a betting man, i would assume this is related to the version of the bootloader on the phone. and sometime they miss something on the ota update. causing certain versions of the bootloaders to reject the update. but i dont have any expertise here, im just an average joe with a phone that failed an OTA miserably. perhaps just restarting it a couple of times also is enough, but i resurrected mine with the fastboot continue i had found earlier.

I can understand but, if my untouched phone just got an OTA and successfully installed it, the update should be ok, idk why some phones have this type of problem but it's not normal, maybe an old mod? A restored partition after a ROM install? Idk, but i can say that: the OTA is ok on my stock phone, the problem should be something else...

nope... nothing new interesting/installed since the previous sept ota. never unlocked, never restored, never rooted it. it is/was plain stock...
Then retry the update, take a backup First, if the OTA brick the phone again ask for a complete refund
Same here, completely stock. Turned off after the Android One screen, restarted and booted again but with an Update Failed notification. Tried it a second time, same thing. First time I have issues with an OTA so far.
My phone is Global Version, I inform if the brick is in this model

Those who "soft-bricked with OTA" : Just keep trying to reboot many times with external power on and pauses. Sooner or later phone is to reboot to now (after OTA) inactive slot (read about A/B structure if you do not know what i mean) with the previous bootable version (10.0.14.0 ? or any which was there before OTA), - as such behavior is specified in AndroidOne requirements.

yep you're right 2 years indeed! gonna have fun with the seller )
yep they're all global, there was never a mi a2 for china ( that one is the mi 6x). there is a version for india but i doubt it was ever sold outside india since it has fewer lte bands.

I am trying to check for updates but I am not seeing the recent update that is being pushed out yet, so I was wondering if someone managed to capture the OTA file
Here are the details:
Firmware Version: MSM8960PRO_BP_23255.138.89.00R
Kernel Version: 3.4.42-gb476356 hudsoncm @ ilclbld99 # 1 Tue Aug 25 07:43:11 CDT 2015
System Version: 222.27.5.ghost_row.Retail.en.US
Build Number: LPA23.12-15.5
Pulled this off my phone: https://mega.nz/#!a4Mz2BiQ!VSxGh6g2oLviQ5yO9bhlh9-MCVBTf3GE7vzYZ3ZYvw0
But I haven't been able to apply it, even after using fastboot to flash stock system partition. All the hashes fail comparison.
All my attempts at taking this have failed as well, I even reflashed stock 5.1 from Motorola and tried. Have you tried sideloading this?

My phone won't even start now. I disabled and uninstalled xPosed and flashed the stock recovery, and restarted and it let me download and install the update. Then I check my phone and it won't start. I get the boot screen with the rotating globe, then just a black screen. Scouring the forums for a fix.
I've tried re-locking the bootloader but can't seem to get that to work now that I've moved to 5.1. The method I used previously just fails. It looked like unlocked bootloaders were failing on the update.

I hate to say this, but, did you try powering it off & back on? Ever since 5.1 whenever I've reloaded the firmware the initial boot always locked up on me.

I do have an unlocked bootloader on my XT1053 Dev Edition, so maybe you're right, unlocked BLs can't upgrade? Damn shame. I ended up having to format the system partition and completely sideload the stock 5.1 ROM from scratch. Such a pain. I'm holding off on upgrading for now. Either going to get a new phone soon anyway or start flashing ROMs. I never felt the need to flash anything fancy on here since stock Android + Moto's tweaks + some Xposed/GravityBox magic were perfect for me, but I may have to flash something that has Stagefright built in.
I should add, at this point, I'm just glad to have a working phone. I'm no magician with this stuff, and there was a point last night where I thought I had completely bricked my phone.
Check out the link in post #7 above - it worked for me.
got the ota today on my phone. is it Marshmellow?
Got it earlier this week.
No, it is not Marshmallow. Marshmallow should be version 6.
Was this question rhetorical? The details are listed in the release notes.
There's some radio related firmware in there for anyone interested. Sometimes that's helpful for people with radio issues.

Hello, looking for help.
My daughters Ze551kl had an ota update error resulting in a true cyclic bootloop from asus bootup screen to op system which reboots in about 1 second after flashing the op system background.
I cant unlock the bootlock. No operating system access.
I tried to restore with adb sideload and i get response on a pc and the phone that it installs ok, but the bootloop remains. I put 1531 on via adb and i did get the correct files from asus. I have done this several times. No change.
I can't flash because the bootloader is locked and i cant find an adb bootloader level unlock. Does this exist?
What do you folks recommend?
I cannot install twrp or do flashing of recovery. I can get to fastboot and the recovery options. I have cleared the cashes.
Thanks for any advice.
---------- Post added at 11:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:16 AM ----------
Hello, almost forgot, do i need to unlock the bootloader?
If the abd transfer has worked and installed the new version, but the bootloop remains, what else can be done? Is this a partition or hardware problem that showed itself during the update process?
You may have bricked it. Personally, I'd send it to Asus, if it's still in warranty, and let them fixit.
Has anyone tested the latest beta leaks for the Note 8 One UI N950USQU5DRL5, DRL6, or DRL7. Here is a LINK to Androidsage with instructions. I am tempted to install however I have a Gear S2 watch and Gear VR. If I read correctly DRL6 and 7 work with the gear wearable. Here is another LINK that I found that you should look at before installing the latest beta leaks.

You just need to make sure you hold the buttons down securely so they don't come up a little bit and it's a lot harder to keep them held down with a case on the phone.. You need to hold all 3 buttons for up to 2 minutes sometimes and if you don't that's why you get stuck in a boot loop..

I just remembered something.. If it ever does that to you again open a command prompt or terminal and send the reboot recovery through ADB. I know you know how to use adb but to those of you who don't know just type "adb shell reboot recovery" without the quotes obviously and wait for the phone to do it.. It may work and it may not..
Well, might have to see if it does................I know CRK1 was the update for December, isn't there a newer one for Oreo for January?
Im aware that the one ui android pie update will be dropping soon but im interested in trying this method for testing it before the official release. My question is are you all using sprint carrier locked devices or unlocked devices?
Is downgrading possible from December 2018 to August 2018? I see that the note 9 also just received Pie Update. Are we able to downgrade since it's in the same firmware just different patches and security level? My phone preformed so much better on the August 2018 security level.
Yes. Just flash it with ODIN.

You can downgrade all you want as long as the bootloader is the same version. You can't downgrade the bootloader, but since all the Note 9s are still on bootloader v1, you're good to go.
I tired it and it didnt work? So I dont know what went wrong. It was stuck on setup connection.

That's a common issue. Try a different USB port or a different computer. You can also try doing a factory reset through recovery then booting directly into download mode.
If that doesn't work, use the power of Google and look up other solutions.

experience this yesterday, probably this corresponds in Xiaomi server. Maybe they take down the patch after November 2018. You can download the official stock Pie version at MIUI website.
Updaing to PIE was successfull.
Used this guide to unlock bootloader: https://www.androidexplained.com/mi-...ck-bootloader/
Then used the MI FLASH tool to apply the stock rom. First atemp failed with "write error" after 55 seconds, but I tried a second time and this time the process completed.
