However, this update did not introduce Project Treble. If you are a Xiaomi MI A1 user, and you are looking forward to updating your device manually, read the tutorial below. We have given all the necessary steps with direct download links to ROM.

This tutorial is suitable for the following conditions:

The build is leveled as OPM1.171019.019.V9.6.3.0.ODHMIFE which weighs about 1.1 GB (Approx). But unfortunately, Camera2 API support is still not available, which means, you will not be able to use Nokia Pro Camera (Pro Mode) app.
