[tereyaglidoner]

In typical Xiaomi fashion we get the absolute worst experience any phone manufacturer out there provides.
DO NOT UPDATE YOUR PHONE TO A11.

Yes do not update. Device bricked here

 

[Randomwarez]

Same here. Is there any way to unbrick this device? This is my only phone at the moment and I need it unfortunately.

How can we prevent phone to be updated? It says update is on pause and it will go on when it won't be on use.

 

[tereyaglidoner]

If you dont click on update, your phone wont be updated. AFAIR there is no way to fix bricked devices as of now, people are reporting not even being able to boot in to fastboot (which is VERY troubling).

My phone is Bricked to, I just want to say F*ck Xiaomi. I will buy Samsung A51 latter!

 

[tereyaglidoner]

Update is now pulled. Marks the first time this happened with Android 11.

Same for me no boot, no loading, no fastboot.
Is there anything xiaomi can do at least?

 

[tereyaglidoner]

It seems like this a hard brick situation. I dont think there is a way for user to recover their device, if you updated your device you are looking at sending it in for repair and in the process losing all your data.

I clicked to download, but after I saw the posts I clicked to pause, is there any way to cancel it completely? Because it's just paused.

This is the worst experience I encountered for an update. I guess the dev handling the rollout is in a hurry... No verification. It's a major disaster. Xiaomi should be liable for this disaster.

You can simply go to settings and look for the system update app and clear its data.

 

[cristianodk]

in that case who responds for the phone failure, the my a3 that I have no longer turns on and I am in Colombia

My phone bricked too after applying the official OTA! This is unacceptable. No words can describe how I feel.

 

[jdfeos]

@XiaoMi who will take responsability for this????

I want my money back!

A new phone whatever, this is simply unaceptable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YOU RUINED MY NEW YEARS EVE!!!!!!!!

 

[Molock]

Same thing here, great start of the new year, are these devs completely useless or what?

 

[tabletakias]

Mine too , phone is now worthless,it will not charge or open. I had to look for a spare smartphone on new year's eve.Thank you xiaomi.

 

[copypasteedit]

I discovered this to late. Now my phone is bricked

You can simply go to settings and look for the system update app and clear its data.

Same here!
Update is pending and waiting for reboot.
Found an app "Dynamic System Updates" but clearing data and cache did not solve the pending update.

Anyone any suggestions how to revert pending update?

Disabling Automatic System Update in developer option may help
