[MIUI 10 Stable] Enable Camera2API - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers

Hello, my phone is still pure stock, latest MIUI 10.0.2 stable, locked bootloader, stock recovery, etc. My doubts:
Can I enable Camera2API to use Google Camera HDR+ and stay with MIUI10?
Will that wipe my phone's data?
What are the risks of enabling Camera2API in MIUI10?
I have already used Google Camera with Galaxy S6, S7, S8 that have Camera2API enabled by default. I know there are custom ROMs that have it enabled by default, but I use MIUI gestures and don't wanna lose that.

Can you recommend me an updated tutorial on how to root MIUI10?

I'm looking forward for a tutorial (for dummies like me) too.
Mine bootloader is unlocked, stock recovery, MIUI 10.0.2.
What about MIUI updates?

Here in the OP you have the steps to load TWRP on your device since you have ARB v4 which blocks direct ADB commands.
Rooting is easy, flash the Magisk 17.1 and that's it.
As for MIUI updates you will need to apply them manually through TWRP, as I believe the updater app isn't going to work, but I'm not sure as I'm not using MIUI.
Oh and about camera2api, search either the Themes and Apps or Guides and News section on methods how to enable it, you should find a TWRP flashable zip (not Magisk module) that will also add appropriate lines in build.prop to prevent apps that still use older camera api from crashing (whatsapp and instagram I believe).

to root once you have unlocked bootloader install twrp from link below unzip then run install. then flash orange fox recovery.
there you can root with magisk or superSU also you can install camera2api in the orange fox recovery also no need to use lazy flasher. so after you run and it boots you into twrp flash orange fox.

I still have locked bootloader. I requested to unlock but people said that I have to wait 15 days to unlock. Unlocking bootloader will wipe the internal storage or only the data partition?

well they do it to prevent resellers from flashing say xiaomi.eu unofficial rom on phones and sell them. people that are new dont know and encounter problems.. and they blame xiaomi.. even people like us are having problems with fake unlocks. they cant unlock phone they need to do a series of steps to be able to remove the fake unlock.
so in a way its good for buyer that he gets a phone untouched.

If you've lost your custom recovery after flashing a ROM, I'm assuming that you didn't root immediately afterwards?
In that case, you won't be able to use Flashify and your only option is to wait until you have access to a PC.
You should flash twrp after flashing any rom. Then reboot to recovery to check if it works. Official roms flash official recovery...

Actually it requre root access. Do you know how to get root access without pc
You could give Kingroot (not Kingoroot) a try. I used to use it on old devices and it does work from time to time. Beware that it does contain a lot of bloat and is suspected to datamine its users. If it successfully roots your phone, I would advise you to clean flash your ROM again after flashing a custom recovery just to make sure it doesn't linger. It it fails to root, then just delete the app (it shouldn't be able to install anything malicious without root access).

I would suggest not to take too much risk with rooting without the access to PC. If by chance, something goes wrong, like bootloop or something, you'll be screwed big time.

EDIT:I'm looking on web and forum and there is way to brick phone while doing rom change, how to protect against it?
GUIDE to go from BUGGY VENDOR ROM with UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER to 8.8.9 XIAOMI.EU:
Download 8.8.9 xiaomi.eu from one of these 3 links: 1) https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=280379 2) https://sourceforge.net/projects/xi...s/files/xiaomi.eu/MIUI-WEEKLY-RELEASES/8.8.9/ 3) http://miui.dedyk.gq/8.8.9/xiaomi.eu_multi_MIMAX3_8.8.9_v10-8.1.zip
1) Flash China Beta 8.8.9 with Mi Flash Tool using the option "Clean All" (DO NOT choose 'Clean All and Lock'). Links and instructions below:
a) China Beta 8.8.9: bigota.d.miui.com/8.8.9/nitrogen_images_8.8.9_20180809.0000.00_8.1_cn_7bfe310762.tgz
b) Mi Flash Tool:
1b) download link: https://xiaomiflashtool.com/download/xiaomi-flash-tool-20180528
2b) instructions on how to use: https://xiaomiflashtool.com/tutorial/use-xiaomi-flash-tool
3) Let your China rom boot up, then login to your Mi Account (if you haven't made one yet, make it here: https://global.account.xiaomi.com/pass/register
4) Once logged in, go to Settings>Additional Settings>Developer Options>Turn ON USB Debugging, Install via USB, and USB Debugging (Security Settings).
5) Download Minimal ADB and Fastboot: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790. Extract it to your desktop so you can use it from there easily and rename the folder to ADB.
6) Download TWRP Recovery: https://eu.dl.twrp.me/nitrogen/twrp-3.2.3-0-nitrogen.img.html. Rename it to recovery.img and place it in your ADB folder.
7) Open cmd (Windows Command Processor/command prompt) within ADB folder or navigate there directly by opening cmd and enter the following steps: cd C:\Users\WhateverYourUsernameIs\Desktop\ADB (this puts you in the ADB folder).
8) Turn your phone off. Boot your phone back into FASTBOOT MODE (press and hold VOLUME DOWN and POWER for 6-8 seconds), then plug it into your computer. In cmd, enter the following:
fastboot format userdata, then flash TWRP using the following commands: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img, then boot to recovery using the following commands: fastboot boot recovery.img
9) Changing file system from ext4 to f2fs is NOT NECESSARY, but I included it in case you run into errors, so skip to the WIPE portion of this section: In TWRP, change your file system from ext4 to f2fs: Wipe > Advanced Wipe > Data > Repair or Change File System > Change File System > F2FS. Then go back (back button at the bottom) and mount all your partitions: Mount>Check All Partions. Then go back, select WIPE>Advanced Wipe> select Data, Dalvik Cache and Internal Storage (System should NOT be wiped).
10): Transfer 8.8.9 xiaomi.eu rom from your pc to phone's internal storage and install in TWRP: INSTALL>Zip>Select 8.8.9 xiaomi.eu rom>Flash it.
11) REBOOT. The phone should boot without issue and your bootloader should stay unlocked.
12) Enable VoLTE: Once everything is set up, go to dialer and enter the following: *#*#86583#*#*
IF YOU WANT ROOT:
1) Download Magisk 17.1 Stable: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/v17.1/Magisk-v17.1.zip
2) Reboot to Recovery : Turn off phone, press and hold VOLUME UP + POWER for 6-8 seconds until you see the phone boot into TWRP. Select INSTALL>Zip>Magisk-v17.1.zip>Flash it and reboot.

If you are planning to flash the official global stable, the bootloader can get automatically relocked on the future OTA updates and brick your phone.
There is no problem with unofficial unlocked bootloader if you are planning to flash the official chinese or custom roms like xiaomi.eu

To unlock it officially, you must flash the chinese rom with MiFlash and relock the bootloader, then apply for unlock (you must wait 1-2 months to get the unlock permission)

I have a question - I'm also about to receive my new 6gb/128gb MiMax 3.
It will probably arrive with 9.6.4 or 9.6.6 and I want to switch to .eu ROM so I will be using this guide.
But I have some questions:
1. Does .eu update the firmware in correlation with China Dev firmware updates since it is based on it?
2. If it does it there any chance of it becoming affected by the whole ARB situation?
3. I will want to root and use cam2api for better camera. Do the .eu OTA updates unroot the phone once installed requiring to re-root every time?
4. Is there anything else I should be aware of if using the .eu ROM?
Many thanks and sorry for being a noob - long time since I've last used non-vendor ROMs...
---------- Post added at 09:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:52 AM ----------
and another thing - the bootloader will be unlocked per the vendor on ebay - I assume using whatever method they use. Will there ever be need for me to unlock it again using the MI unlock lengthy procedure?

As Martin said, follow my thread.
1. Yes, EU changes are based on Chinese updates, then modified for global/eu community. Pretty consistent time frames for the updates.
2. Yes, everything after 8.8.9 EU is ARB affected. I suggest staying on 8.8.9 eu until custom roms come. If you want to try RevolutionOS rom which is free and based on Miui Pro mods, feel free as that is not ARB affected and gets OTA updates for their rom.
3. Every update unroots a phone because it's a new rom (stock vendor and system) - just simply flash magisk right after you update in twrp - very easy and straightforward. I'm using camera2api enabler downloaded through magisk download section (I downloaded the zip and flashed it in twrp), then downloaded the latest posted version of Google camera in Google Camera Mod thread here. It works without issues. If you get random hiccups mess around with Google camera settings until it resolves itself.
4. Nothing else needed to worry about. If you run into any error, just reply in my main thread, and we'll help you out, buddy. We all started as noobs :highfive:.

One more question - does staying on 8.8.9 eu means I can't have any OTAs from XIAOMI.eu?
Is there an option to have FW-less OTAs or is it impossible?

Edit from nijel's correction below: You can OTA update. The way xiaomi eu ota works is you go to the Updater app in your app folder. Then check update and download. Then press the three dots in the right corner and select Reboot to Recovery MODE using TWRP. Or you can manually download it from here and install through TWRP: https://xiaomi.eu/community/forums/miui-rom-releases.103/.
Yes, there is an option for firmware-less updates. Download and flash them through TWRP. https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-max-3/development/firmware-xiaomi-mi-max-3-t3832274
Unlocked bootloader should not be a problem for OTA updates. After all bootloader unlocking is official service provided by Xiaomi. System partition tampering is what prevents OTA...

If I update .eu using the updater app will I get into ARB territory? Meaning I will be updated from 8.8.9 to 8.920 or such with ARB?
It's pretty confusing - basically I want to get OTA updates and stay away as possible from ARB or as a lesser evil - have ARB and get OTA's from .eu.
What would you recommend as best?
There is MiuiPro providing OTA updates.
You have to make little "donation" though.

You will get ARB if you do it through the app or download it directly from xiaomi.eu. You need to flash firmware-less updates via twrp using the roms indicated in the firmware thread I linked above.
It's all explained above. If you want ota updates with the updater app, you will get ARB, but you can continue to get those updates directly from the app and reboot to recovery to flash them. It's really no different than manually downloading from the firmware thread, putting it on your internal storage, restarting your phone and booting into twrp with volume up and power as it restarts. Then simply flash. The choice is yours.

They're better off on revolution OS because it's free and similar. Miui Pro is not a "donation." It's a subscription service which is absolutely ridiculous as @SUPERUSER mentioned. Donating to devs for their hard work is 100% acceptable and encouraged; I do it all the time. Forcing users to pay for a constant fee for updates is ridiculous and goes against everything xda stands for. Many users have tried this in xda forums for self gain and got banned. Do you see a Miui Pro thread here? No, and there's a reason for it. If you like it, that's great, but tell people the whole truth because there are many newbies on here . :highfive:

Help please from to unlock bootloader and install custom rom FROM SCRATCH

Please. I need a full tutorial on how to unlock bootloader for Redmi note 5 global version, and also installing TWRP and custom roms. I am lost in all threads here and cannot understand anything
I kind of need a walkthrough as well. Unlocking BL and flashing twrp seems really straightforward. I'm confused about when exactly I should use things like lazyflasher to avoid dm-verify and avoiding the MIUI stock recovery replacing twrp if I choose to stay on MIUI that is.

for unlock you need permisson first. today i got my phone back but was a replacement so i have to unlock it once again.
go to settings/about phone. and click on miui version many times untill you become a developer.
exit and go to settings/additional settings/developer options. there is OEM unlock and mi unlock status. you need to use yout mi account here to bind to phone. also toggle OEM unlock. and usb debugger.
then search for this program miflash_unlock-en-3.3.525.23
run and follow instructions ot should say you need to wait some amount of hours i got 720= 30 days. after 30 days use program and make sure if you did this at 8am try it at 9am. then it should unlock bootloader. itll reboot and take a while to boot.
for ARB3 you can flash twrp.img for ARB4 you need to boot into twrp then install twrp withing twrp.
read rom installation if it says wipe system/data ect. you wipe those and after that flash rom.

if you use stock twrp lazy flasher can be flash at anytime before you reboot from twrp the first time.
if you use orange fox recovery no need to do anything.

First step - Disable driver signature enforcement
Second step - Download and install ADB v1.3 (this will help you to get device driver)
And if you want to unlock bootloader just download the latest mi unlock tool , unzip it and put it in "C drive"
These steps worked for me.

The Best step by step how to root your 5T for noob ? Pie 9.0.3

Hello, I'm a noob in rooting phone, I want to root just to install Magisk so I can use Gcam without dots and with front camera,
Where can I fin a tuto to explain how I can install it step by step ?
Thanks in advance.
If possible I don't want a ROM, I just want stock Oxygen OS with Gcam without dots.
PS: I don't want to loose Face Unlock or Fingerprint sensor.

You can stay on OOS, but you'll still have to unlock your bootloader and root your phone with magisk. You'll need a PC. There is probably a step by step guide in the general section.

Thanks for reply, I'm not sure about the general section... I'm glad I can stay on OSS so what is TWRP ?

Use the link that jckjr put, lays out the steps fairly straightforward.
Here's a TLDR-
1. Install ADB on your computer
2. Unlock bootloader from within dev options on the phone
3. Reboot into bootloader (easier if you enable the advanced reboot)
4. open a command prompt window within the folder of your ADB installation. also put your TWRP and magisk files in that folder to make it easier
5. unlock bootloader by typing in 'fasboot oem unlock' and confirm on the phone <-- THIS WILL WIPE PHONE ENTIRELY
6. flash twrp by doing 'fastboot flash recovery (recovery.img)' where (recovery.img) is the recovery's filename. easily fill it in by pressing tab once you get to it in the line
7. reboot into recovery from the bootloader screen (change options by doing volume up/down and power to select recovery)
8. allow modification within twrp, flash the newest magisk .zip
9. in ur OS, install the lib fix magisk module
10. install gcam and made sure it works.
Just follow this guide and tool

Thank you, I wait for the next update, to avoid some lags.

Android Q updates OTA regardless if you have TWRP or rooted, Works fine.

guys just an FYI, because i didn't know about this and is possible that other people also dont know, but i have android Q installed and im rooted and have TWRP installed, and just now i have updated from the beta 2 to the beta 3 eventho i have TWRP and rooted, android Q does not install updates thru recovery, it does that from the updater itself so it does not requite stock recovery anymore and it does not matter if you are rooted or not, this is owesome.
root is working?
Root was removed. Is there a working version we should be using for q beta 3?

I could be wrong but, I don't Magisk will root Beta3.
Edit: Wrong thread, root works.

TWRP failed to decrypt and also failed to mount /sysyem and /vendor when trying to flash TWRP or Magisk again.
I was using TWRP 3.3.0.0 and Magisk 19.1
PIN locked, unlocked and relocked again TWRP still error.
This also happens with Official Pie May updates.
The magisk still can be used from previous pie installation, however I can not modifiy system or data folder.

Yes Magisk still works, and I still can install any modules without any issue from this OTA. However I can not R/W system or data folder.
I guess it is TWRP issue.

you must do the following comand to gain storage access on Q, sm set-isolated-storage off
if on pc using adb it would be:
adb shell sm set-isolated-storage off
that enables storage access.

Will it enable system, vendor or data access as well?

it enables system and data access, vendor is only needed for Rom flashing, and it does writes vendor if you flash another rom.

Is it possible to root android q beta 3 if manually flashed by downloading the full image?
