If the phone starts with stock boot.img, then it's most probably caused by incompatible Magisk module. Remove Magisk modules and start the phone with patched boot.img again.

Scroll to the section "Disabling/uninstalling modules manually" and follow one of the methods https://www.didgeridoohan.com/magisk/MagiskModuleIssues#

Greetings everyone!

First off, hats' off to everyone that makes this community tick, really y'all are awesome! I need help, I need the stock boot.img for 11.0.23.0.QFQMIXM (Global build I think). I cannot find it anywhere on the interwebs and am stuggling to dump it using adb fastboot.

Many thanks in advance.

All boot.img files are present on the Fastboot FULL Stock ROMs.

You can download the full ROM from HERE, extract it and, inside images folder, you will find boot.img.


Cheers!

Hi, sorry if I bother with something that probably could easy found with a search on this thread, but I can't get how to search with this new style of the forum.
I'm having some issues on trying to install the correct drivers probably, because I'm not able to let the computer see the device while in fastboot. Adb works fine, because when I launch the command adb reboot bootloader, the command works fine and the device goes into fastboot mode.
I have a new Mi A3 and a new computer, and I don't remember how I did and which driver I installed on the previous computer.
I tried to understand how to install the drivers directly downloading the sdk platform tools, but didn't get how to install it.
Then I tried with the 15 seconds adb, fastboot and driver installer then, but it's still not working.
So I started searching on google a few guides but I still can't get to the point of letting my pc see the phone.
Is there any guide on how to clean up the pc from all the drivers (and probably crap) that I installed and install the correct version of the updated drivers?
Thank you so much for the help

Try to download latest Google drivers from HERE.

Try to download latest Google drivers from HERE.

I didn't see your reply, I was just searching for other guides this morning and I found out it's a Windows 10 issue.
In order to get it working, I followed these steps:
1 - Plug your device while on and install the OP3 drivers that appear as a removable disk, I reinstalled them also, so no harm in doing that again.
2 - Run admin command prompt from wherever you have your adb and fastboot
3 - get your device into fastboot/bootloader mode "adb reboot bootloader"
4 - press windows key + X and go to device manager, look for the Android device with exclamation mark
5 - right click on Android Device > update driver software > browse my computer... > let me pick... > look for Android and then select Android Fastboot Interface if memory serves me right.
I used the "usb_driver" downloaded somewhere yesterday, don't remember where because I had so many tabs open lol

EDIT: with this method the computer recognizes the phone in fastboot but doesn't let me do the command "fastboot flashing unlock", so it's kind of useless
With the drivers you sent me, when I try to install it says it's only for 32bit computers while I have a 64 bit one, even tho in the folder there's the 64 bit version, I don't know...
I tried to download the OEM drivers from the chinese xiaomi forum but it can't be installed because it has no digital signature and my computer won't install it
It's really frustrating

EDIT x2: Trying with installing, unistalling things randomly in the end it worked, even tho I don't know what I did differently than the beginning, thanks @Typhus_ for your help

Did u do usb debugging?? Before trying unlock

 

[Phil_gloves]

Did u do usb debugging?? Before trying unlock

Yeah of course, as I said, the adb was working, as I was able to use the command "adb reboot bootloader" while the fastboot wasn't working. It's working now tho, it's a mistery

I have successfully rooted my Mi A3 phone following this guide. Thank you.

However, when I enable Diag Mode, QSPT and QxDM are showing the device as unknown and can't change any values. Anyone else able to use Diag mode with QSPT on Mi A3?

I opened a thread with screenshots here https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/mi-a3-diag-mode-and-unknown-device-in-qpst-qxdm.4205127/
