No unlock needed.
The .sin files are signed by Sony and will be accepted by the bootloader.

TWRP download link -> Android 8 -> Stock
Did you made a full wipe before using PIE?
It solved problems at my side, including the touch problem.
Does a full wiped .126 still drain?

Please search it in the tarp thread, I don't use Windows to work with.
I somehow was able to used the latest Google and drivers because I somehow deactivated the driver verification of windows 10. :silly:

Just uninstall magisk and choose the restore images option.... Update will be installed just fine

Just updated to V 1.20 WW.

Global version, I'm.not sure if I'll get a root file to flash for this version

How to root after new update?
I managed to locate ota file on my phone and unzip it but magisk was unable to patch the extracted boot.img . I want to know how did we manage to get patched boot img for previous ota updates? Also can anyone share their stock boot.img for EN1.18_Common version of rom, so that people can unroot their device to update?

boot.img v1.20

I installed v2.17, everything fine, then I realized I can't get the boot.img file for 2.17 (no download link anywhere), so I just reverted back to 2.15.

Link to the package
The link is here
Could someone confirm that this is the correct package? They have written the name of the version incorrectly... It should be 2.17 but it appears as 2.12 version

Yesterday global version V 2.18 OTA received.....
Android security patch 2020/08/01 and 'performance improvements'.
About 120 MB.

got an update on my end too.

Question no OTA Update

Hello everyone,
I just have a small question, since I have installed on my Chinese mi11 the global version, I don't seem to receive any update, the last update I had installed is the 12.5.1, and when I see online the last version is 12.5.5, but the phone checks the update and says "no update available"
the same thing on my wife's phone, it's a global version that I flashed with the global version too, but she doesn't get any update,
any idea ?
thanks a lot !

Global is still 12.5.1, i think.

What is your Build Code ? 12.5.1.0.RKBEUXM ? or 12.5.1.0.RKBMIXM
If you have EUXM it's a EEE/EEA (European Version) and it's actually the lastest build.
If you have MIXM it's a Global (International Version) and actually 12.5.3.0 is the lastest build.
So depending yourRegion Code, you can download the Fastboot ROM and install local update easily.
My Mi 11 Claud White was EUSF (because an EU custom by my carrier) and i have unblock Bootloader (waiting 168 Hours - [1 week]) and migrate on MIXM Glabal International for have more recent update.

In about the phone, click on miui version, then click several times on the miui 12 logo to activate the additional update features, then in the 3-point menu you will see the option Select update package.
You must download from the phone the recovery type from the following link, it weighs 3.3GB
Miui 12.5.3.0 Global
Once downloaded select the downloaded file from the 3-point menu Select update package mentioned above, it will check the file, then it will ask you if you want to approve the update.
For this you do not need to unlock Bootloader, since the update is installed as if it had arrived by OTA.
I hope it serves you, greetings.

Root your phone, but that comes with its own risks
Or just use adb to to remove them.
there are many tutorials on using ADB to remove system apps.

Question Android 12

Any news when Android 12 will hit device seeing as it's as near to stock Android as can be can't see it taking to long then again it's Lenovo so who knows probably Q1/Q2 2022 , maybe beta first
I'm assuming it's quarterly security updates as well seeing as I'm on September and it's nearly December ,

No news on that yet I think, except we will get it.
I got the November security patch last week though. Moto seems to have improved on updates.

Hello good morning I upload the stable update for G998U1 android 13
Download - size: 448.56mb
Beta 3 to DVK3 oficial android 13
ZVIH to DVK3
Rename file to
update.zip

Do not download for some reason when my phone was formatted it came out of the beta and when the ZVIH update arrived, that is, beta 3 I thought it was the official update, it is not, that is, if I can upload the official update from beta to official 13

Same sideloading update procedure Mr Campos?

Yep. Just sideloaded now. It's DVK3 which is the official release

Now in official SW can we have back normal OTA again right?

Is this the full firmware image? I want to do a clean install on my S21 Ultra, coming from the Beta. Usually, the images are almost 7GB. Frija doesn't seem to have it yet, or anywhere that I have looked. ty

This is the incremental update that takes you from beta to final stable release. This is not a full firmware

That's it then, thanks!

I sideloaded via ADB and can confirm, final release update to DVK3 on my G998U1.
