Hello , i have Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro 6/64 Whyred Model Name MEE7S. I currently have eu rom 9.5.14.0 (OEICNFA) and when i check updates via " xiaomi update " app, it just says no updates found, the phone already up to date.
But everyone have the latest updates like 9.5.17 or 9.5.19. Why my phone not getting updates? Any ideas? Thanks.

It takes time for ota and also depends on the country. Download the update and flash it using updater app

Hello there, my brother just got a Redmi Note 5 China 6GB/64GB variant. It has a chinese box and has bootloader unlocked already with a Global ROM installed. Is this normal? Or should i ask him to return the device?
Thanks.

I am not getting OTA either, I have Lang set to English-UK and region - India
the reason for Region India is because if I set to region UK i dont get Face Unlock feature thats why.
The battery management is just excellent thats why I am lil worries abt not going onto 9.5.13 and want to keep 9.5.5.0 as standby before I update

You can set region to Indonesia and update it, then set it back to India. I'm on 9.5.13, getting screen on time of about 9-10 hours on light use and 7-8 on moderate use.

Redmi Note 5 pro and Redmi Note 5 AI are same mobile. Only difference is Redmi Note 5 AI got different camera setup.
Don't know the reason why Xiaomi is not pushing Oreo update to Indian (India region) users officially...

They are not.
RN 5 China and Global have bigger pixels 1.4um camera with f 1.9 lens, India called Pro has pixel size 1.2. and f 2.2. The camera is significant better and the AI works almost like a gimble. Amazing for the price.

My oversight, sorry.
Anyways, I don't understand the confusing model policy of Xiaomi. The Pro version not better than the standard version?

Redmi Note 5 Pro is the name for India market, because we have another model named Redmi Note 5 (Redmi 5 Plus)
Redmi Note 5 AI is for China market and global market(with global ROM)
Redmi Note 5 Pro Redmi Note 5 AI code named as WHYRED
wherease Redmi Note 5(india market) and Redmi 5 Plus (global and china market) code named as VINCE
I already bought a global version redmi note 5. all works fine. But from aliexpress it arrives in about 26 days.
I need another phone soon. So asked someone to bring one from China directly - redmi note 5.
I am going to flash the global rom by myself. But while searching online, someone said I need the redmi note 5 pro ROM, and there's also redmi note 5 ROM and redmi Note 5 plus ROM. Which one should I choose?
is it possible to flash global ROM by myself? or it will brick the phone?
anyone has the similar experience? from China version Redmi Note 5 to Global version Redmi Note 5.

If it had snapdragon 636 on the chipset, you are on the right forum.

On one hand there is Redmi note 5 Pro and Redmi note 5 AI. They share the codename WHYRED. Both have Snapdragon 636. Also dual camera setup. Most ROMS for whyred means they will work on both these phones.
On the other hand there is Redmi 5 Plus. It has a snapdragon 625 and a single camera. I believe the codename is VINCE for Redmi 5 plus.
new at xiaomi that if your phone is china region you cant install golbal rom. and viceversa global phone cant install china rom. i read it on miui forum. do some research on that before buyinh china region phone .

It looks like this should be redmi note 5 AI, that's how xiaomi advertises it in China. The current one global version I got from aliexpress has dual camera as well. But hardly to say it's AI or not.
Thanks for your reply. I'll download some whyred ROM to give it a go. Really scared to brick it as there is no way to unbrick but visit xiaomi service center, which has none locally here.

Really thanks for your reply. I'm going to jump on the same boat as you now. From my research, I need:
1 unlocked BL using one xiaomi account old enough (than 360 hours)
2 download global ROM from some where.
3 flash in fastboot.
Any advice on that? Is it difficult to flash? Anything I missed? Do I need turn any other options in develop mode like USB debug or anything similar?

If you plan to unlock UBL first you can flash the recovery rom via updater instead flashing via fastboot. It is more convenient if you rarely touch the pc
redmi note 5 is VINCE
redmi note 5 pro is WHYRED
so any miui rom having name mentioned VINCE is NOT for you!

Yes you need UBL before flashing recovery rom via updater. You will find 2 version of MIUI on their website, fastboot and recovery version

Normally when you are on Official stable or developer MIUI ROM, you can just download the recovery file of any other Official MIUI rom and use the updater app(just select the update package and it will start installing). It works a lot of the times. So you dont really need unlocked bootloader if this method works. Please note that it works on official MIUI roms only.
In case it doesn't work you need to unlock the bootloader. Then you have two options. Either you can use TWRP recovery to flash recovery file ROMS(usually a .zip file). Or you can use fastboot roms for which you need a pc(with miflash tool).
One ANNOYING thing about bootloader unlocking. You have to add the Mi account to your phone manually(in developer options). After that there is a cooldown of 72,360 or 720 hours depending on your phone model. Mostly its 720 hours now. After the cooldown you can unlock your bootloader.

In some places the Redmi 5 plus is known as simply the Redmi Note 5. It causes a lot of confusion.

Thanks for your clarification. I got one zip file from miui global forum download page. It looks like to be the recovery file you mentioned. Thank God I knew this from you since I thought it was the full fastboot flashable ROM. Who knows what will happen if I flash it via fastboot.
Another one from this forum is a tgz, unzip to tar. It might be the proper fastboot file but a version before anti rollback. I need to get the new phone in hand to check if I can flash it nor not.
I got my mi account e months ago. Should be OK to flash without waiting 720h. Hope so at least.

You need Unlocked bootloader to flash fastboot ROM. MiFlash will throw error message saying this cannot be flashed in locked bootloader.
One advantage of MiFlash is, software checks bootloader index and if you try to flash older version arb3 ROM(without antirollback) then software throws error message, unable to flash because bootloader index(anti3) is lesser than the present bootloader index(anti4)
Most of the people bricked their device while flashing older version of MIUI ROM in TWRP because twrp recovery will not check bootloader index value
Downloaded recovery ROM name starts with HMNote5ProGlobal
and downloaded fastboot ROM name starts with WHYRED these ROMs are for Redmi note 5 Pro (Indian version) and Redmi Note 5 (Global)
In India we have Redmi note 5 (Redmi 5 plus global) codenamed Vince

Unfortunately, that wont work. My mi account is really old(3 years, unlocked bootloader of note 3 and 3 pro). Still I had to wait for 360h after adding mi account to my new Note 5 AI. And there is a new rule afaik and the waiting period is 720 hours now. Which translates to about a month. It is really frustrating, I know.
One more thing, "adding mi account" is not just logging in your mi account of your phone. You have to add the account in developer options.

I have a question about whether is it possible to update via OTA on miui 12.0.0.4 global on Redmi note 8 pro with bootloader unlocked. Will I be able to receive future updates and install without any problems? Upon checking my device's recovery, I have miui stock recovery version 3.0.

Im quote mi forum.
Redmi Note 8 Pro owners who are not part of the Xiaomi Mi Pilot program should not install the MIUI 12 global stable beta update that has just been issued for the device. We recently reported about the MIUI 12 rollout for this particular popular smartphone, but it is only officially available to those who signed up for the Mi Pilot scheme. The warning, which was posted on the Arabic-language section of the Mi community forums, has been very blunt in advising non-Mi Pilot Redmi Note 8 Pro owners to resist the temptation of installing the MIUI 12 beta update.
