I've purchased a used Xiaomi Mi A2 lite.
Unfortunately the seller withhold the information that it was flashed with lineageos.
This ROM has android version 8.1 and is not able to update.
The stock ROMs are all depending on partition A/B layout but this LOS does not support it.
# fastboot set_active other
returns
fastboot: error: Device does not support slots
So I cannot use any of those fastboot ROMs I found.
Also the device is identified as 'sakura' - not as 'daisy' which makes all attempts to flash via fastboot using the given *bat or *sh files impossible.
# fastboot getvar product
product: sakura
The xiaomi flash tool always stops with: "missmatching image and device error" as the images are for daisy or even jasmine which is A2 without 'lite' (yes, the official latest image from xiaomi namely for Mi A2 lite 'Xiaomi_Mi_A2_Lite_V10.0.13.0.PDIMIXM_20190807.0000.00_Global_9.0_XFT' is for jasmine!)
I also installed the xiaomi PC suite but the phone is not recognized by it when I start it in the recovery which is still the xiaomi one.
Is there any way to get the stock rom reinstalled and get rid of this ancient LOS?
Thank you in advance for any help and hints.
Sakura is a Redmi 6 pro not a Mi A2 Lite.

Do we need an authorized mi account to do so? Because i hardbricked my redmi 6 months ago and it always says that my mi account doesnt have a permission and then it will fail with a broadcom_cmd_fail.

No. But they may fail if you try to flash to any phone with V12.0.5.0 or higher already installed. I suggest you to flash to V12.0.4.0 using fastboot before. And then, try to flash using DA files.
Good luck
Download the DA files but when select Smart Phone Flash Tool v6, it give error
DA_VD171--3.3001.2020-07-02020-07-14.bin is invalid.
Running the tools in Windows 10.
Any idea?

Hi. It has been almost 7 years since i have flashed any rom. I wanted easy way to flash xiaomi eu in Mi 11x, indian variant.
In this thread - https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/did-anyone-installed-xiaomi-eu-on-mi-11x.4276167/
it was said that you can flash fastboot rom by renaming alioth to aliothin in 'windows_fastboot_first_install_with_data_format.bat' file. This methods feels way more easy than flashing TWRP.
Nowadays many users here and on youtube are flashing roms with recovery using TWRP. Is there any reason to use TWRP method instead of fastboot method. It seems TWRP method uses more custom things having higher chances of bricking the phone. in fastboot we are using default MIUI fastboot making it safer. Anyone experienced in flashing what would be the easiest way to flash EU Rom in Mi 11x (indian variant?
Hi there,
different roms have different methods of flashing nowadays, and especially for our device.
Fastboot flashing is incredibly easy. Just boot into fastboot and run the windows_fastboot_first_install_with_data_format.bat
which will be extracted with the rom.
before you do this please make sure you have unlocked the bootloader which takes 7 days to receive an unlock token from xiaomi servers.

Fastboot rom at EU is only when there isn't any TWRP available.
This said you have to go with TWRP for any update or change you need.
Last: Said less risk of hard brick with TWRP than fastboot process.
In order to install EU rom latest via TWRP it is so simply to boot TWRP in fastboot and install the rom.
Twrp will stay permanent once done.
NOTE:
Be careful to install a rom Aliothin compatible, nevertheless TWRP will stop you before going in trouble if any.

To flash xiaomi.eu the best way is to use twrp, also because the latest version is not in fastboot.
- First unlock the bootloader!
- Then disable Driver Signature Verification in Windows 10:

- Now you will need adb and fastboot, so download platform tool from here and put platform tool folder in c:\

Android SDK Platform-Tools is a component for the Android SDK.
developer.android.com
- Now restart your pc.
Then follow these steps:

1) download the twrp image from here:

2) Put the image filenametwrp.img in the platform tool folder;
3) Go to the platform tool folder, rename the filenametwrp.img to twrp.img;
4) (In the phone) make sure you have enabled usb debug in developer settings and have authorized the pc.
5) Download the xiaomi.eu rom .zip file for your mobile phone and put it in the phone memory

6) Now turn off the phone and start it in fastboot mode, then connect it to the pc via the usb cable
7) Go to the platform tool folder and in the address bar type cmd and hit enter (a prompt window should open) then type this command
Code:
fastboot devices
to check if it is recognized
8) if the phone code appears you can boot twrp by typing this
Code:
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
hit enter and the phone should boot into twrp
9) Now in twrp go to install and look for the .zip file of the rom you put before, then flash it.
10) When it finishes (it takes a few minutes) go back, go to the wipe section then advanced wipe and format datadata, then restart in the system. (It will remain on the miui logo for several minutes, wait, then the configuration should start.)
If you follow all the steps everything should go smoothly, but if you have any problems or questions you can ask.

Please check because even if you choose fastboot file, the recovery file is shown at first and the fastboot file is below.
Dont use miflash. Download the fastboot file, extract its contents in a folder (preferably C:/rom). Then connect your phone in fastboot mode and run the flash all.bat file
