Hi, shadma,

Hi
I have used the above method of clearing the data from Google framework but due to less battery it got interrupted. Now I am unable to get the update. Please help
Hi Vibhu,
You mean the update has been interrupted while installing the Oreo update? Because, If it happens you have to wait few more days or else contact the support team. They may help you with the clear solution.
Suppose, If you’re Mi A1 is bricked or not turning ON after the interruption. You can simply download the Mi PC suite for Windows and Turn on the device by pressing Volume down + Power Key simultaneously and connect to the PC through Micro USB and Open the Mi PC suite. This PC suite will show the Connected Status. Once, It shows, you will get the Stable ROM from the Mi developer. This process is only for those the device is not Turning ON. Other’s don’t follow this.

Hi,
Recently i bought Mi A1, and i have updated it to Oreo. I think my phone is not properly updated because, The phone heats up when I use camera and battery life has drastically reduced to just 8 hours. And the major problem that I am facing right now is that – my phone automatically locks(lock screen) but the display doesnt go out- the lock screen stays illuminated by the backlight until I use the lock button myself to lock it. Even then if the phone is charging or I receive a notification the screen turns back on and doesnt turn off/sleep on its own – Before updating my phone I faced no battery problems/lock screen problems. I tried to update the phone again it said” Already updated”. Can you please help me to solve this problem.
Hi Kiruba,
Thanks for leaving your question here. My brother also updated the device to Oreo, He faced few problem’s in the beginning. But, after updating the patch version on it, his problems got resolved. I think, you didn’t installed the patch update on your device. Please, check for the update or else follow the steps:
1. backup your device and reset it.
2. Then, use it for a while and check everything is working perfectly or not.
3. If not, let me know.
Here, my brother is not facing any one issues that you have mentioned above. But, the battery life is decreased than the previous version. Anyhow, Follow these steps and let me know.
