CAUTION!!!!

Don't Update to Android 11.
it will Hard brick your phone.

Unfortunately, I can confirm that Android 11 stock ROM bricks the device. Not even flashing full fastboot ROM through fastboot. It bricks it. After flashing the phone got stuck at Android One logo for 10 minutes. As soon as I've tried to reboot to fastboot, it no longer wakes up....totally dead. "Black screen of death". Way to go Xiaomi....

Not even with an EDL ROM flashing this issue was solved
Phone is DEAD
Bitnet was helping me up until now
There's nothing we can do to solve this. Only by replacing Motherboard.
Xiaomi....NO MORE!

Goodbye dear Mi A3 community. This is just simply something I cannot forgive on a company. An update that bricks devices is UNFORGIVABLE!!

I made this group temporary because I have bunch of messages from bricked user. i hard to manage and message all of them separately.

We can fix android 11 bricked devices. i can do it through teamviewer. but you guys have to put your device in EDL mode and connect it to your pc/laptop. for do that you have to open your device back panel and short EDL pins while connecting to pc. then your pc device manager will detect it as "Qloader 9008"

Example video to put EDL mode : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stoHPydiLtg

then i can fix it remotely. you need to download below files to your pc and install them. then send me teamviewer ID and Password (by PM)

Required Software and files.

Pixel Theme for Andrdoid 11 new version. 😊

It fixes status bar padding, bottom round corners, enables blur and adds all Pixel features available. Now playing still doesn't work...😔

There could be some issues while trying to download wallpapers...don't know why the hell not....but at my end it failed to download.

Feel free to test, and share.
