Helium Kernel

hi all,
is there a kernel for the Mi Max Pro (Helium) with the patch applied necessary to bypass SafetyNet? Im currently on the xiaomi.eu Nougat rom and from what i read the only way to bypass the january patch level is a patched kernel.

You can stay on older MIUI or even CM14 released before January update. There is no workaround at the moment afaik.

How to update from 7.1.1 to 10.0

Hello,
I've just bought fresh new and sealed OP5T 8/128.
I've got ONEPLUS A5010_43_171115 build (Android 7.1.1, Oxygen 4.7.2) installed on the phone.
How can I update it to Android 9 or straight to the 10? The OTA doesn't show any updates and when I tried to install 9.0.11 using local file from the official OnePlus website, the installation failed
Thanks for your help in advance
Maciej

Use Oxygen Updater from the Play Store. It'll show you the latest version you can update to safely (it will most likely be OOS 5.1.4, which creates the vendor partition). Once done, re-open Oxygen Updater and it'll show OOS the next latest you can update to safely (and this should be OOS 10).

You need to install 5.1.4 first, then update to 10

Update firmware with LineageOS

Hello, I was wondering if I need to update my firmware on my Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro (whyred).
The reason for it is because it shows "1. November 2018" as latest vendor security patch level.
I am currently running LineageOS 17.1 which is based on Android 10 together with the Lineage recovery.
Mainly I have these questions:
1. Do I need to update the vendor firmware? In other words would that even increase the Vendor security patch level?
2. When I checked this website: https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/firmware/whyred/ it shows the latest Vendor Firmware to be from 2021, however with Android 9.0, would that even work with LineageOS 17.1 which is Android 10 level?
3. Would I need to flash back to the official Rom on Android 9.0 in order to then flash to the 2021 firmware ( should be included in the latest official rom anyway) and then flash back to LineageOS 17.1?
Any help is greatly appreciated as this is my first phone on LineageOS. (I did had a couple of other phones in the past with unofficial Roms so I am not a completely noob.)
Thanks and have a good day

LOS has old version of vendors. Yes from 2018.. they build on that... if you wanna updated version go to LOS github and ask there.. that's how it is, nothing can be done here. Only LOS team can help you.
Good luck and stay safe!

Does this mean 2018 is the latest vendor security patch level?

If you use LOS, than yes.

Maybe I am a bit dense to understand this, but shouldn't all have the same? I thought Vendor security patch level are bugfixes from the vendor, so it only makes sense to me to include the latest patches in all roms to get this baseline patch level. Ofc every ROM can feel free to increase security even further with additional patches on top of that.

Yap, but every custom Rom has it's own vendor version. LOS has old one and many custom ROMs. It's actually developer decision what version he's gonna use to build rom. That's it. Yes MIUI ROM uses latest. You can't mix them because you'll get bootloop or bricked device.
For latest version you need to ask developer to update it.

The vendor security patch level is just a setting configured here: https://github.com/LineageOS/androi...0038ae0340b1da03ae9c00ff50/BoardConfig.mk#L56
The official LOS 18.1 rom contains at least some vendor blobs from the latest MIUI V12.0.2.0.PEIMIXM rom.
That probably means the vendor security patch level date is not accurate and can be ignored.

Yes, it works. Considering you are currently using even older firmware.

You can flash the firmware ZIP from https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/firmware/whyred/. It only updates the various firmware partitions without touching the "boot", "system" and "vendor" partitions (on which LOS is installed).
For some reason the firmware ZIP is missing the new boot logo. It can be updated manually by extracting the file "/firmware-update/splash.img" from the latest MIUI Rom and flashing it in Fastboot Mode with
Code:
fastboot flash splash splash.img

I'm on Lineage OS 18.1 now with Android 11 and figured I just leave it as is. But thanks all for the help

Question Anyone using oxygen os 13 and still rooted?

Can you inform me if you have rooted your phone and updated to oxygen os 13 beta 2

Yes

Mind mentioning steps of upgrading from A08 on A11 to A13 latest version?

not beta 2, but currently rooted on F.12

Question LE2123 A12 to A13

Hi
I'm completely stock on the latest version of A12 for the EU 9pro : LE2123_11_C.66
In the UK we still haven't received the OTA for A13.
I've read that the second iteration of A13 is available : LE2123_11_F.72
After some searching I've found that I can get the official OnePlus version using oxygen updater.
My question is that I can go directly from A12 to A13 with the above?
Thanks

Yes it works, I updated myself with oxygen updater from C.66 straight to F.72.
Be aware that in A13 F.72 the option for ram expansion dissapears. So if you want to change anything in the ram expansion option do it before updating.

Appreciated, I've now upgraded.
