MIUI 9 on Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Android One

Hi, please help me. Is there any chance to install MIUI 9 ROM on Mi A2 Lite? I can't find the official ROM for that phone. I found only Android One version ROM pack. I wanna buy this phone, I really like the design ect. but I don't like this whole Android One idea (I don't care about earlier updates), I don't like the interface, the icons. I prefer MIUI system overlay. Where can I find it?
Buy a MIUI device. There are plenty of them.

It is called Redmi 6 Pro, it's the Mi A2 Lite with MIUI (but without LTE 800 MHz frequency).
I know but that's not the answer, besides I have Redmi Note 4 already and I want A2 Lite not different model.

You thought wrong. That's the normal ROM with Android One.

useless the for large amount of people so thats not a solution to the posters question
I'm not sure why anyone would prefer a MIUI device over Android one, but seems to be that by making two versions Xiaomi is giving us plenty of options.. (not to mention adding more devices to their already convoluted line up). Depending on the 4G coverage with your provider/country not having band 20 might not even be a big deal.
Not every country has Redmi 6 Pro available...
since it's only for China Region (CMIIW)
and Mi A2 Lite is "more Global" with vanilla OS
me too want a MIUI OS over Mi A2 Lite due to MIUI's feature (such as, hide notch, hide nav-bar and using full swipe gesture, etc..)
any idea to flash MIUI over MiA2 Lite?
or can we just flash Redmi 6 Pro's ROM over MiA2 Lite device? is it compatible (it should be, due to the same hardware spec, CMIIW again)
It is not possible to flash Redmi 6 Pro (sakura) ROM on Mi A2 Lite (daisy).
A slight chance to do so could be by flashing it in EDL mode, but even if I get EDL permission from Xiaomi, I won't take that risk.
The only safe way is to wait some developer that ports sakura ROM to daisy. It could be even easier if a MIUI treble ROM exists (I don't know if it exists, as I dislike MIUI).

No, it's the general Xiaomi versioning system, and it is used in all their phones, those with MIUI and those with AndroidOne.
And that's an AndroidOne ROM, because it's installed it in my phone right now and I can't see any MIUI.

Then we are doomed. Android One is not for everyone, does not have many options compared with MIUI.
I own both a chinese import redmi 6 pro and a mi a2 lite from a local supplier.
I am sure the A2 lite will become more interesting than the 6 pro as soon as some devs are taking care of it by providing custom roms.
But for the moment the miui 10 dev roms from miglobe and co. offer a much better experience on the 6 pro device than the android one on the mi a2 lite builds.
I don't care a lot for the missing band support as I owned the redmi 4 pro before and never experienced receptions or speed problems.
i am looking forward to see some nice custom roms for the a2 lite.
Regards,
Dom
Any one got an idea about it?
The redmi 6 pro is a treble device too, that means, normally you should be able to extract system.img and flash it via fastboot.
In that case it doesn´t matter wheather the partition scheme is different!
You could give it a try. If it´s not working, you can flash back stock system via miflash (select flash and keep data)
Do we have brave ones to try? ?

I tried to do as it is written here https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2/how-to/miui-10-install-guide-t3844729, but in our firmware did not find similar files to replace * abl.elf
* prog_emmc_firehose_Sdm660_ddr.elf
* prog_emmc_firehose_Sdm660_lite.elf
mi flash the error, then I replaced prog_emmc_firehose_8953_ddr.mbn and the download ok, but after installation I caught the bootlap, and returned to the stock through the test point. if anyone can figure out what files need to be replaced in firmware 6 pro, then it is possible to run miui.
Sorry for my English

Android One in Redmi 6 pro

Last time i checked, ( 10 minutes before posting this), The specs for Mi A2 Lite and Redmi 6 pro are totally the same, except the network bands. We can even assume that Redmi 6 pro is just rebranded version of Mi A2 Lite for India (and some other countries where they are being sold, if any). So, is it at all possible to flash that Android one directly into Redmi 6 pro, or do we need to make some modifications to the package.
Another short question...(as am a newbie and i would like the community to push my knowledge limit a little further). Is it at all possible to flash android one on to any other phone, whatever the specs maybe(same and different).
Edit - I found some interesting facts - Mi A2 Lite is indeed the Global version of Redmi 6 pro
- Redmi 6 pro uses a classic partitioning system while A2 lite uses the A/B system. So direct flashing the stock android one rom will brick it.
New questions - is there any ways to change the partition system from one to the other?
is there some way, we 'stock rom' lust hounds get a hand on it using this 6 pro?
And did you think about the notch?
Mi a2 rom
Did it work
Jay: Did you try A2 or A2 Lite?

Basically you can't flash Android one version of daisy on sakura. You can port android one for sakura or install a previous one which is ported and almost works fine.

Hey! I've been thinking the same thing, and I've tinkered around the fastboot stock images for both the A2 Lite and the 6 Pro. The stock image for Daisy contains a img named "partition" and I think this is what makes the A/B partition in the phone. I haven't tried it, But I'm think of doing it. editing all the flash_all.sh files in the Android One ROM from the A2 Lite, i.e replacing all codename "daisy" with "sakura" so it doesn't throw a invalid device error. I'll update

Can you then apply for bootloader unlock at mi forums as if it was always a redmi 6 pro? Or use miflash version that bypass mi account?

Thanks for the feedback on the method. Could you also share with us on this thread when/if you find a way to put MIUI on Mi a2 lite?
Hello readers,
i've bought an A2 lite for testing purposes and was also interested in modding the device - rund MIUI on it would be fantastic.
After reading some posts here and in the Mi A2 thread i thought i was ready to try the transformation
Unlocked the A2 lite, prepared the fastboot images.
I tried it with older Android 8.1 images dated July 2018 because they had the same Version state V9.4.x.x and to avoid a brick because of the later introduced Anti-Rollback function.
Sadly the partition information & structure of the Mi A2 and the Mi A2 lite differs in some very important parts (partition scheme & image file type).
There is missing at least one corresponding image file/partition on the A2 lite compared to the A2.
Tried to get to know if there is any possible alternate image to choose but was not successful.
Flashing failed everytime therefore i tried to go the way vice versa
Took the flash files from the Redmi 6 Pro and the ddr & bootloader files from Mi A2 lite.
Changed the checksums and flashed that bundle.
Flashing SEEMED to be successful desvice rebooted and BECAME A WONDERFUL BRICK on my desk.
Conclusion: Kids don't try this at home!
It was not possible to tun the device on again!
... have not tried to open the device and go to EDL-Mode because of the fact that there was no life sign from device at all.
I'll try some other methods within the next weeks with a new unit arrived a couple of days ago but we may have to accept that an conversion is not possible.

Xiaomi.eu Rom for Mi 10T ?

@ingbrzy can we expect eu roms for mi 10t series any time soon ? mi 10t released in china as redmi k30s . so i guess u can get weekly Chinese builds too
[Edit: We get Xiaomi.eu Builds. Go check it out. THANKS @ingbrzy
Yes it's already coming on mifirm
i see xiaomi.eu already have rom for mi10t/k30s .. but didnt see they name mi10t pro yet

persist.img for the mi 10t pro

Hi there,
After hours of searching online, with no result I have been forced to contact the Xiaomi factory directly.
My mi 10t pro recently had been bricked and as a last resort I was forced to flash the entire factory stock ROM again. However I have come to the conclusion that there is an underlying severe issue with the Xiaomi ROM format.
After flashing everything was working like before apart from several sensor modules. I will focus on the camera for the email.
Inside the camera app the cameras were not detected, I then launched CIT and there the cameras have given the error "camera list no match". This error can be traced back to the "persist.img" file within a BROM fastboot flash.
The mi 10t pro is part of the Apollo series which includes the smaller mi 10t and I have come to the conclusion that all publicly available fastboot ROMs have a persist.img suitable to the mi 10t and therefore when flashing it , the camera list includes in the persist.img are not matched with the hardware of the mi 10t pro. I have evidence for this.
Attached to this email is an image of a bootloader read of the default.prop file which I read to see what parameters were being set for my device.
As I suspected, the parameters being passed through the entire software was for mi 10t pro, the model the OS is designed around.
can someone please backup the persist file from their mi 10t pro and post it here for me to use please please, please. thankyou so much
Have a good day,

You can download the fastboot rom corresponding to your rom version and extract the img file.
https://xiaomirom.com/en/series/
I had the same problem with a Poco f2 (no more fingerprint) and flashing the persit img didn't change anything,
I used https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/flash-tool-guide-use-xiaomi-flash-tool.4262425/ (Flash the same rom that was on your phone when you bought it) then the CIT.
thanks. so the poco f2 how did you fix it

ive tried doing that already but it didnt work and as you can see in my twrp terminal the rom literally just flashes the mi10t pros persist file which would explain why the camera list doesn't match as the 2 models have different cameras. hence i need to ask around for any mi 10t pro owners to directly send me their persist img so i can flash that instead.
