Also got the update. The size looks ok for a simple security patch and minor fixes so nothing major.
Phone starts ok, no problems so far.
This is the first update that no one is complaining about yet... so it's a change in the right direction for the Xiaomi OTAs.
Xiaomi Mi A2 users (they got it 3 days earlier) said that it even works fine with Magisk.

I had 2 odd things happen as a result of installing this OTA.

1) USB Debugging was turned off. No other developer things seem to have changed, just that toggle was off.
2) My timezone was changed. Almost like the phone temporarily forgot I didn't want to use network-provided timezone (it often picks the neighbouring state, which has a 1-hour offset from here).

I've never had this happen with previous OTAs.

My dad didn't have this issue. Make sure it isn't your network provider having this problem

Hello, if someone is experiencing the same problem, I resolved it flashing the official stock rom with Miflash tool. Cheers

This update has definitely done something to the signal mine is falling onto 2G a lot, before that I was steady on 4G. Once it hits 2G it stays on it regardless of the signal strength until you restart the phone. It is very annoying.

Hello,
I have Mi A2 lite with magisk installed, and I am unable to perform the november OTA update.
here is what I do:

1. In magisk : Uninstall > restore images
After doing this, magisk still looks the same:


2. Launch the OTA update.
I first have this screen:

red message translation: "Install will resume when the phone is not active. Click on resume to finish installation now"

3. Clicking on resume will start the installation, but it fails after some moment:


4. After that, I go back to Magisk: Install > Direst install to avoid having Magisk uninstalled after reboot. When doing this, here is the screen:


I don't understand why my OTA is refused...
Is there something to setup in magisk hide ? In order to hide magisk from the OTA updater ? or anything else ?

Do you know where I can find the system image for 10.0.15 ? I was not able to find it in the threads, only boot images ! ;)
The upgrade tool writes a log to logcat. It says which partition it does not like.

adb logcat | grep update_engine


There have been no fastboot image released for 10.0.15.0. I have backups of both system and vendor (since they both seem to be modified every OTA for me). If you can confirm that either of these is needed I can try to upload it somewhere. Note that these are very large partitions.


Alternatively, you could use the 10.0.13.0 fastboot and OTA from there. Make sure to backup data before doing this.
