Do you have twrp installed and if so did you flash any mods to the system?
If no mods were installed just flash the stock boot.img for your firmware version using fastboot and reboot and apply the update

Custom recovery that's why you cant install. Ota updates don't usually work with a custom recovery installed. You will have to flash stock boot.img there is a whole thread about this and all versions of the stock boot.img here https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a3/how-to/guide-how-to-root-mi-a3-magisk-t3958509/page43

same but different problem.

I'm having somewhat similar problem here, but the thing is, I'm using stock mi a3, without any custom bootloader, twrp, rom, etc.

currently in version 11.0.17.0.QFQMIXM

trying to install the august security update that was supposed to be version 11.0.20.0

updater showed the august update as 464mb, which is weird as its supposed to be 34mb or so.

any help from the experts here are kindly appreciated.

I have no custom recovery, or magisk but have same problem

So I solved the problem as I love root .. I had to loose recovery sharp... Now I have no recovery . I flashed stock ROM of Build 19 and installed the latest OTA . After then I extracted the boot image of stock ROM then I patch stock boot image of latest build.i got now root with magisk with no recovery . I hope I can install future OTA with the method..
If u can't install u must have to flash fastboot..
I have tried restoring stock boot.img of build 19.. but doesn't installed.. although I removed custom recovery but still couldn't install OTA..

thanks for the great advice. anyone willing to do the needful, might as well do as suggested. but i kind of trying to keep things stock as much as i can, dont have the time to fiddle around as much. this phone is buggy enough as it is

decided to backup everything and reset for now. might root if resetting didnt fix the issue. cheers mate! :good:
