How to flash Custom ROM on Mi A2?

Here’s a general tutorial which suits pretty much for every ROM version built on Android 9.

First of all you’ll need is an unlocked bootloader, TWRP (Pitch Black for example) for temporary boot and backup of your personal data. After that just follow the steps below:

1. Boot your Mi A2 smartphone in fastboot mode.
2. Open command line and perform the general reset with “fastboot -w” command, this is required, so make sure you save all files from phone internal memory.
3. Now we’ll temporary boot into TWRP with the following command, where “twrp.img” is the name of the TWRP you’re going to use.
   • fastboot boot twrp.img
4. Connect your phone to PC and copy all required files for flashing via MTP: ROM files, Magisk and Gapps.
5. Flash ROM (it will be installed on inactive partition)
6. Reboot from TWRP into the opposite partition.
7. Boot into fastboot mode again and start TWRP once again:
   • fastboot boot twrp.img
8. Install Magisk, you can use ADB Sideload again. On the first startup your phone will automatically reboot after the logo appeared on the screen.
9. Now reboot into TWRP for the last time and install latest Gapps without doing any additional wipes.

• Enhanced notifications
• Support for several, physical cameras
• Enhanced forms autofill

But officially, the Mi A1 doesn’t support project Treble. Yet thanks to senior XDA member joeyhuab, you can “Treble-ize” the Android One device.

How to install Android 9 on Mi A1 (tissot)

Related:

Check if your device supports Treble using a terminal app, like Termux.

Download, install, and open the app.

Run the command: getprop ro.treble.enabled

You’ll get either true or false

If you get true, then your device supports Treble.

How to Install Android Pie on Xiaomi Mi A1

You’ll need to note a few, important things first:

• The Android 9 Pie GSI (Generic System Image) ROM is unstable/experimental. Don’t expect to use it as a daily driver.
• This guide will repartition your device’s userdata partition. So, remember to backup your files.
• You’ll need an unlocked bootloader.

Related: how to unlock bootloader on Xiaomi Mi A1.

• This guide works for only Mi A1 devices that run stock ROM.

Required files:

You’ll need a few files for the exercise. Download these first. See links below.

• TWRP with Tissot Manager installer by XDA senior member CosmicDan: TWRP-Installer-3.2.1-with-Tissot-Manager-2.4.zip
• Vendor image by XDA senior member ghpranav: vendor-20180705.img
• Android 9 GSI:

  • POST-sGSI 1 by joeyhuab: POST-sGSI_1_v0.14_Pie_Tissot.zip
  • POST-sGSI 2 by joeyhuab: POST-sGSI_2_v0.17_Pie_Tissot.zip

  Hint:

  Collect these three files in a new folder. Give the folder a simple name like “android9.” Avoid any spaces in the filename.

• A treble-compatible kernel (any among these three would do):
  • Moun Kernel 5.4 by XDA-recognized developer mountaser halak: Moun_Kernel_V5.4-TissotTreble.zip
  • ProjectK r17 by XDA senior member khusika: ProjectK-r17.zip
  • Velocity r8 by XDA senior member kdragon: velocity_kernel-tissot-r8-20180619.zip
• Magisk v16.7 by XDA-recognized developer topjohnwu: Magisk-v16.7.zip

After collecting these files, install Android Pie on your Xiaomi Mi A1 with these steps.

• Allow USB debugging in Settings/System/Developer options
• Flash the TWRP with Tissot Manager installer using fastboot.
