  3. Hello
    I followed this tutorial to the letter and it did not work.
    After step 9 has finished the MI A1 has restarted and does not leave the home screen (white with the MI logo). No matter how hard you try to turn it off and on it never goes past this home screen. Do you have a solution for this?

    I can only get my MI to work after flashing a new ROM.
