I've received the OTA notification on my device, too...
Other reports came also from North America

So we might say that the rollout is happening worldwide and both Global and EU devices are affected

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

 

[jdfeos]

How will XIAOMI resolve this, I'm in Portugal, this is totally unaceptable!

 

[xUltramarco]

Update available also on eu rom (11.0.10.0)

 

[MroStudios]

I can confirm the the A3 of my cousin is bricked as well (Italy). I've tried everything to try to unbrick it (official and unofficial flashing tools) but nothing really helped. The problem now is that the phone is no longer covered by the warranty and it is really unpredictable what Xiaomi will do to solve this issue.

The only possible solution is to give a free unit to everyone after a huge recall.

incredible that on 2021 a company like xiami roll out a killer update without testing it before. It have the obligation to repair damage. In reverse they will lost credibility...

 

[asdfuc]

They already did

Has anyone updated to 12.0.3 via the official updater yet? And is it working?

I've received the Android 11 OTA notification on my EU rom (italian device)

update performed successfully

 

[rodolfoaz]

Received a notification of the A11 update on my EEA MI A3 today, but after the update, the touchscreen is not working anymore, multiple reboots and a factory reset through the recovery didn't seem to work. Does anyone know if it's ok to downgrade to A10?
