Same problem here, Following.

Have you run the built in tests;
Try running CIT Mode and run test on all cameras...
To enter CIT Mode Dial *#*#6484#*#*
Check if all cameras are working on CIT Mode

What's your plan after your phone being unlocked?

same problem, since the update to android 10 (at the moment a MIUI global 12.0.1) ==> cant use portrait mode : "cant connect t ocamera" . then i get freezes.
CIT teset says, that rear sub camera fails.
I dont think i broke the cam. it seems to be related to the miui 12 update ( android 10).
I dont know how to solve this, and its pretty annoying

Nope still not working after reflashing via fastboot latest ROM

I tried this and turns out the cameras are not working - master, twin and vice back camera, all are crashing

Today my camera app broke.
It says "can't connect to camera", "waiting for camera" or stays at black screen.
I tried wiping data/cache.
I did test using hidden menu and all cameras are working.
Other cam apps are working but I prefer stock one.
Phone is Xiaomi mi 9 lite with lastest update MIUI 12.5
Please help. Thanks.

Ok. It worked for me when i tried with another laptop.
It installed drivers automatically upon connection and i connected through usb 2.0.
No need to adding extra "./" in the starting of fastboot command if you are in the same directory as fastboot file.

You dont need that "./" or backslash if you are in the same directory as fastboot file. It works fine without it also.

Front portrait mode
I have tried many GCam apks by various devs but can't take front portrait pics. Rear cam portrait works fine in all. Clicking shutter button does not do anything in front portrait. Am I doing something wrong? Anyone with any working apk with front portrait?

Currently using GCam-5.1.018-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8.3b1.apk . Also tried GCam-5.1.018-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8.1.apk which is mentioned in OP and many others as well.
Disabling diet_burst helped for some time but again the same problem started. I found a workaround, clicking a rear portrait pic and then switching to front portrait works fine.
Do you know any fully working port?
A bit off topic, max pro m1 user here. Can anyone please share stock camera apk for us to try on the m1, our camera ui sucks.

There is no difference with GSIs (the g stands for generic) works as is on both.

What we lost if we put this rom?
Can this method be used with the original rog phone? I'm interested in getting Android Q. :fingers-crossed:

Trying to install GCam, where can I get the latest patched boot image?

I'm following this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2-lite/how-to/guide-how-to-enable-camera2-api-t3851414
And it takes you to a thread with old boot images, and I was wondering if there were any ones that were more recent (i.e. January 2020 security patch). Or does it not matter if I'm using this method only to enable camera2api?
Thanks
Grab the latest stock Rom from here and download it (10.0.18.0 is Jan 2020) : https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2-lite/how-to/fastboot-xiaomi-mi-a2-fastboot-images-t3824871
Then follow this guide until step 9 to get your own patched boot.img : https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2-lite/how-to/guide-install-magisk-proper-support-ota-t3836952
It matters which version of the boot.img you're using, if you happen to use an older version, your device won't boot and you won't be able to do what you want.

Search for my comment in the same thread, I described the way you should follow to avoid data loss. With my method you won't lose your data. But also if this is your first time unlocking the bootloader, you will lose data. If you've unlocked the bootloader before then you won't have any issues. Cheers.

Go to developer settings in the Settings > System. If you can't see it there, you need to enable it first. To do that go over to About Phone in settings and tap on the Build Number several times, until you get a toast notification saying Developer settings are enabled.
Once you're in the developer settings, find the USB Debugging option and enable it. After you connect your phone and execute "adb shell" command, a pop-up will appear on your phone saying if you want to trust this computer, tap yes then you'll be good to go.
EDIT: I believe you tried to use 7zip for extraction, 7zip can only extract 1 archive at a time and the file you downloaded is compressed twice (tar, gz). WinRAR can decompress the file in one go. Final files have no difference so use whichever suits you best. Don't forget to use my method while locking the bootloader again. Cheers.
Hey! Don't want to open a new forum so I'm just curious which version of gcam you guys are using? Can someone suggest me a gcam? The ones I tried all have some bugs (for example: random freezing, slow motion video lagging etc.). Or there's not a single gcam that has all it's features working on mi a2 lite?
Currently I'm using GCam_v7.0.009-v4.4.front.hdr.working.

There is not a single gcam that has everything working currently, there are 2 reasons for this and lags :
1 - Our CPU is old, so it can't handle gcams' processing that well.
2 - There has never been a single gcam optimized for our device, except for hass31's gcam port. But that gcam's version is 5.1 and although it worked wonders in Oreo, it has focus issues on Pie.
The gcam you're using produces the best results on this phone right now, at least the front and back cameras work. You can try Urnyx05's gcam ports version 6, those will have back camera working, but the front cam HDR+/HDR+ Advanced won't work. If you downgrade to Oreo, you can use hass31's port. Or you can flash a custom kernel on stock Pie ROM, which fixes the focus issues. If you only have Cam2API enabled with a locked Bootloader, I'd suggest sticking to the gcam you're using right now, because it's the one that works properly. But feel free to test other gcam ports here : https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/

Thank you for your detailed answer! Guess I stay with the one I use for now. I'm a bit disappointed as the stock camera records slow motion but gcam don't ,but having an app that makes better quality pictures is more important. Shame xiaomi doesn't update their camera app so we could use theirs with Cam2API.

Yep, Xiaomi doesn't care about their AndroidOne devices, we learnt that the hard way. Meanwhile as I've mentioned the most stable gcam version out there is hass31's Mi A2 Lite optimised port. I'd suggest giving it a try, if you're willing to flash a custom Kernel on Stock. Because it checks all the boxes you've mentioned (including slo-mo), but it lacks Night Sight.
Not sure if anybody has tried this, sorry I don't have gcam enabled on my device so cannot test, but on my redmi note 4 that is almost the same hardware this one works really well

Downgrade from ColorOS12.1 to OOS11 EU OP7T - Please, help me. :)

Hi everyone!
I need help, that's why I registered on this forum.
I have OnePlus 7T and I upgraded to ColorOS12.1 from this video. Unfortunately, this is a beta with Chinese menus and I don't like the new firmware at all. I would like to go back to the original OOS11 stable firmware for Europe, but i don't know how to do it. I tried MSM and ADB via CMD, but can't unlock Bootloader.
I am asking you for help, because I cannot use the phone and I no longer have the strength to look for a solution to the problem myself. Thank you in advance for any help.
Sorry for my English.
Best regards
KamilFromNorth
Can I count on help, I really care about solving the above problem? Please.
Ok, the topic can be closed, I went back to stock rom OOS11 according to this tutorial. First I struggled with ADB, Fastboot, Google Android drivers and versions, and finally Qualcomm and the latter was causing problems in MSM. After updating the Qualcomm driver in Win10, MSM ran without errors and uploaded a new rom, version 10 for Europe, and then the phone update to 11.

I also updated it to that version, and if I was able to return it to the global ROM, the only thing is that now the gyro sensor is inverted. When I activate the automatic rotation all the applications work backwards. I've tried everything and can't get it to work. If I go back and install the ColorOS version, the automatic rotation works fine again, but unfortunately, since that version has bugs, it is not comfortable to use it for daily use. We will have to wait if it manages to solve this problem. Greetings!

Have you tried the auto gyro sensor, is it working fine?
True, I also have a problem with the gyroscope. I also noticed today that it does not preview a photo in the GCam, there is a black screen. I wonder, why put tutorials with beta roms, that are unstable and later create only problems that can't be fixed ?!

How did you get back to stock global rom, what specific versions were they? Maybe we need to try to upload another rom, or clear the memory to zero and then upload a new rom ?!
I found a comment under the video OnePlus 7/7T Color OS12.1, I wonder if it will work, but I don't know what the A9 and A10 mean, which are roms ?!

No, just use earliest oos10 msmtool for global
Thanks, I thought so too, but preferred to ask.There will be time, so I will get to work and let you know if it has helped. The worst thing is that I have already removed MSM, ADB, Fastboot and drivers.

You can flash persist.img only if you have your own backup of persist.img. Dont even think to flash someones persist. It's will break your fingerprint
@marsian4uk Thanks for the info, do you have any idea, how to fix auto rotation?

I know one way but you can lose widevine level. And there is a chance to broke fingerprint. At least, one guy broke his fingerprint when he use this method
Anyway I advice you to make backup of your persist.img (even if it broken, because in future you can fix this)
Found this instruction few days before.
In my case everything is good (except widevine level). So, let's start:
I extracted my persist partition, hex edited the lsm6dsm_0_platform.orient back to what was on OOS 11 and flashed it back. Orientation, sensors and fingerprint working fine.
Caution to whoever tries to replicate, you might hard brick your phone if you do something wrong.​
Here are the correct values:
@marsian4uk
Thank you for the good intentions, but I don't know how to do the above, I don't know anything about it.
What is the consequence of non-working this "widevine"?

You will be not able to watch Netflix in full hd
Same problema here!!! in global rom.
@marsian4uk Today I downgraded from OOS11 to the first OOS10 room on OP7T and it did not work, the application orientation is still bad, the camera also has a menu rotated by 90 'and takes photos and videos in the same way. If you have time and feel like it, I would be grateful for tips on how to make the above changes - I don't care about Netflix, because I don't use it on my phone anyway.
