Hi,
My fiancé was very happy with her Xiaomi Mi A2 until last week when it was basically bricked by the bootloop bug after an update.
We got our money back from the retailer so now we are in the market again for a new phone. However, she doesn't like any other phone.
What are the chances that a new Mi A2 will be bricked again by a future update? Is it safe to order a new one? Or should I convince her to buy something else?
Thanks for your reply,
Kind regards,
QD
Did you have the 4/64 or 6/128 version that bricked?

I had the 4/64 version.
which update exactly ?
Not sure about the exact build number but it was a security update in march, after the PIE update.
I had the bootloop issue, too. Update from stock Android 8 to Android 9 worked well, but second update to April 2019 security update failed and ended in a bootloop. Thank's to A/B update, see https://www.xda-developers.com/how-...ess-updates-affect-custom-development-on-xda/, the phone managed to boot the old firmware after some failed retries. Finally a manually initiated update worked.
My perception is, that updating immediately after a previous update might cause a race condition in the update. After the first boot in the new firmware some post boot processes are running (cleanup?) - running an update in parallel might cause the issue.
Xiaomi support suggested a hard reset; power + volume-up, main menu, wipe data
Luckily this wasn't necessary.
I just got a k20 pro, which was on Android 9 out of the box, But miui update keeps restarting, I don't know what is wrong, I can't update my phone.
Hi,
I couldnt update my Mi A2, so googled a bit and found that i should Clear Cach of Google Services Frames. So i did, and after a reboot still unable / or the same message no updates were found.
"Cannot check on updates / Update aint available atm. Try again later"
So i did a factory reset. And now it started updating, till the security patch 5th may 2019. And now im stuck again, with the same message again.
Is there anyone with an idea on what to do now? Ive read that mi a2 had a update to android 10, its just weird mine is stuck at updates from 2019.
Or could anyone please advise me what guide to follow on how to install a custom / or official rom for the mi A2.
Best regards,
I need dire help . I just downloaded the new MIUI 13 update and rebooted to install it but it went into a bootloop instead.. It's not rebooting into fastboot either.
Never download MIUI updates right after they get released. My Redmi Note 9 (EEA) also got bricked, but on the 12.5 release. I had to send a complaint to the shop where I bought it from and they have reflashed my whole phone, thus losing all my data like authenticator codes and 80 GB of photos and videos with my family. And this is a Mediatek chipset which is very common to get the phone bricked on. Always wait for at least the first patch before updating anything, or just don't update and stick with the already buggy environment.
Hi, I'm having problems updating redmi note 10s to latest version.
I just bought the redmi note 10s a few days ago and it comes with MIUI 12.5.16.0 RKLMIMX so I think it's the global version.
I went to about phone section and tried to search for the latest MIUI version but it can't find anything and then I tried to download the official MIUI 13 update package but one of this messages apears "Can't verify update. Couldn't verify update package." or "Can't verify update. Can't flash this stable ROM."
As far as I know the latest version is MIUI 14
What can I do to update to the latest version?
Try with the V13.0.6.0.SKLMIXM then V13.0.8.0.SKLMIXM,etc.progressively.
Stable BetaRecoveryV14.0.2.0.TKLMIXM

You are almost a year late in updating.
The solution would be to unlock the bootloader, update and lock it.
I turn off mobile data and WiFi and then changed the region from Mexico to Russia, after that I rebooted the device and turn on mobile data and WiFi and check for new updates and it found the 13.0.13 miui update, I installed the update and then I was able to update to miui 14 from the official package.
Thank you @NOSS8

Glad for you, forgot to mention that, 3 threads same problem.
What's funny is that where I mentioned this method it doesn't work and where I forgot it works.
I have the same problem, the only case being is that the phone is pre-owned or a secondhand phone, upon purchase, I noticed that the phone was a bit slow or lag even without any application installed on it. I tried updating the miui version but all it shows is 'Can't connect to the network'. I am stuck on 12.5.16.0, what can I do?

Only if the bootloader is unlocked.
