How to delete downloaded update?

[freekarol]

After trying to install a November update(install failed error) I permanently see the install failed error notification when I want to check Android updates. Is there an option to delete something(cache, downloaded update etc.) to get rid of it so I can check updates and get the Pie update? I know, I can flash stock rom but first, I want to try this.

You need root,and a root file explorer, I'm on official pie now so I don't have root access. Sorry, I can't navigate you to the file.

Magisk is already installed on my phone. I forgot to mention it... I didn't make any changes to a system partition. OTA just stopped working after uninstalling Magisk via Magisk Manager. Normally, I just uninstall Magisk via TWRP(not installed).

Oh well actually it won't work
If you delete the update, Oreo will try to install November update again and then Oreo (and it will fail!)

The best thing you can do - like you said - it's to reinstall Oreo November update that you can find on Miui downloads area, and then search for update to install Pie

Remember to use "save userdata" option and to edit the "flash all expect storage.bat" file removing the line "fastboot oem lock"

OK. No problem. It was just an idea.

-Do you mean this site? https://en.miui.com/download-333.html
-I think this site is better because here I can find all released updates not just one. Hash file is another thing missing on a Xiaomi website.
-I also have a TWRP backup, maybe I could try to restore a boot partition but I couldn't test the TWRP backup so I don't know if the backup is ok. And I don't want to risk bricking my phone.

1. You mean this line? fastboot %* oem lock || @ECHO "lock error" & exit /B 1
2. Isn't it enough to delete flash_all_lock.bat
3. I read somewhere(maybe here) that MiFlash is not always reliable, it's better to flash stock rom with a bat file(I don't know which one to run).

Yes that line
Extract that zip in fastboot folder and then run the bat file that you just edited
