 +===== March 2020 security update =====
 +
 +In March 2020 Xiaomi released a new security update, according to this post **[[https://piunikaweb.com/2020/03/18/mi-a1-android-10-update-dream-keeps-fading-as-the-device-picks-up-march-security-patch/|Mi A1 Android 10 update dream keeps fading]]**, it is another **AndroidOne v.9** relase, build number **V10.0.19.0.PDHMIXM**.
 +
 +I performed the upgrade re-installing **TWRP** and **Magisk** afterward. The starting conditions were:
 +
 +  * A/B System Updates status: **Current Slot: B** (checked via TWRP => Reboot screen).
 +  * Bootloader is **unlocked**.
 +  * Installed O.S.: Android: 9, Build number: **PKQ1.180917.001.V10.0.14.0.PDHMIXM** (check from Impostazioni => Sistema => Informazioni sul telefono).
 +  * From //Impostazioni// => //Sistema// => //Avanzate// => //Aggiornamento di sistema// we get informed about **Aggiornamento sistema disponibile**, **March 2020 security update** (1100.3 Mb). The file is already downloaded and the phone suggests to reboot to install.
 +  * **Magisk** v20.1 and **TWRP** 3.3.0 were installed into **boot partition** (Slot B).
 +  * **System partition** was the stock one: root privileges were never used to tamper the **/system** hierarchy.
