About to Unlock Bootlader - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers

I'm on the latest Pie Stable 10.3.1 and wanted to know what to do first after unlocking my bootloader, since my unlock timer runs out in 5 hours. I want to go for an AOSP based Rom and I'm unsure if I'm allowed to wipe the internal storage or not, since I read somewhere that I should never wipe the internal storage.

When you unlock the bootloader your internal storage will be wiped anyway, so do backup everything before unlocking.
As for doing it on your own later, there is no harm wipping it, if that's what your concern is, and it should keep the encryption, unless you format the /data partition.
Anyway, if I'm mistaken somebody correct me please. Also do try to find tutorial in Guides & News section, just to be sure.

I will and good to hear. Just one last question, can I directly boot twrp with fastboot after unlocking and install it or do I have to let boot the stock system after unlocking once?

There is a thread over here "unlock bootloader without wiping storage" not the exact name but something like that. I read over there which says if you let your mobile boot after unlocking bootloader, all of your data will be wiped. But if you follow the instructions given in that thread you might save your data. Just search for that thread. I am gonna send u the link if u can't find.

I asked since the Guy who provided an all in one unlock and root Guide, mentioned that internal storage Thing.

Unlocking was successful!

Congratulations!! Phew!! What's next? Did you let the boot to wipe your data? What rom you are going to install? 10.0 ? I will install PE after the unlocking. Can't have any buggy rom as it's for my daily use device.

I installed the Android 10 Q DP4 Rom, was a bit buggy at first but since I know what's causing the bugs, I just avoid them. Stable enough for daily use for me now and smooth as butter. I just shouldn't turn on Dark Mode, or phone will be non responsive while trying to wake the phone up. I will tell about battery life within the next few days.

I just downloaded the newest zip from the Magisk thread and after installing the Rom, just install the Magisk zip., Simple as that.

Same but I'm glad I managed that. Btw. Can you or anyone tell me if this is a Rom Bug? On Call the Microphone works flawlessly without any problems, but when I wanna do a voice message in Whatsapp for example any mic recording app, it doesn't work at all, thats weird.

Yeah, but your on another Rom, I'm on the Android 10 one.
Edit: Same now, disabling Google Voice Match fixed ALL of my microphone issues. That's so weird. XD

Damn I feel lucky now that I did not have to even wait a second to unlock my bootloader.

JellyTime Opinions

Hello!
Im wondering about JellyTime, Is it good or bad/very buggy?
Since im very intrested about it i want others opinion.
Also im new to this rooting and new ROM installs.
Thanks!
Well, it is a beta Rom, so it will have bugs. I use it as my main rom knowing it has some minor flaws. If you need a full running device you might want to read the thread a little before flashing this. Most of us flashing this are "Flashaholics" and don't mind flashing a new version everyday if needed. I'd say flash it to see what it's like, and then make your own decision. Only you will know if you like it. This goes for any Rom.

Ohhh okay ^^ is it possible to install the rom at the sametime as i root? sorreh im newb at this :3:highfive:
After you root, make a backup of your rom. Before flashing (download rom to sd card-remember where it was stored), reboot in recovery.
Wipe data/factory reset.
Wipe dalvik.
Format all partitions (except sd card).
Install from sd card.
Flash rom (search for the download)
Reboot.
The above is sorta the correct way of doing it afterwards. Most of us don't do it.
Wait 5-10 minutes.
Reboot.
Configure all you need to configure.
Install your apps.
Reboot.
If you want to know the issues of a rom, read the op(first page) and read the last 5-10 pages.
All ics - jb roms have bugs. Won't be long till they are fixed.
Gb roms are stable on the most part.
Search for 4ext touch recovery, it's the prefered one.

Alright buddy, last one. After this you nees to start reading and searching for your own answers. Almost anything you can think of has already been posted.
It's called gapps. It's a zip file with several google apps. Flash the same as when you flash a rom. No wipe necessary.

jellytime is moving very fast towards stability...
Even now its beta 110 could be used as a daily driver if you ignore some minor things..Bluetooth is the only major problem in it..other than that,it is smooth and really good
TOTAL NOOB here been reading for months now [in the background] and just joined as i think ive finally worked up the courage to brick my HD. :laugh:
I did see a question asking about "best roms" am after an easy stable and fully working combination tho, would love jellybean and fully understand its still in beta. I think more noobs would attempt stuff if it wasnt so damn confusing with regards options and bolt ons.
Ive been Useing JellyTime since yesterday and i love it, the only complaint i have at this moment is that when i lock the screen and unlock it after more than 5 min it takes up to 5-10 seconds for it to start. Maby fixed in new Beta 10. ill try install it later today or tomorrow.

The Desire HD/Inspire 4G are virtually un-brickable as long as you are not ENG-OFF. Once you start flashing roms it all will become like second nature. Everything will start to get easier(more confidence comes too ) Just keep doing what you are doing (reading the threads). I wish some people did this more before posting.

You need to use catchpa for about the first 10 posts. then it should disapear.
This ROM is outstanding. I started with Beta 8 and it was great–at least for the first few days before Beta 9 came out. And now that Beta 10 is out, I'm going to flash that ASAP.
Then great thing about this ROM is that Randomblame just can't seem to give himself any downtime, although he does find time to spend with his family. As long as the ROM works and he isn't going crazy from it, that's alright with me.

SOLVED Please, help... NFC turns on and off continusly... (ViperOS)

Hi,
Until yesterday i had LineageOS and everything worked fine.
I installed ViperOS and everything ok too, but without root. But then i made a new installation with superSU this time, and I dont know why NFC turns on and off constantly, even the menu settings that normally shows NFC is gone, I can see NFC state just in quick settings.
I dont think that is ViperOS rom problem, because nobody reported that issue.
I made the wipes cache, davilk, data and system few times, and problem continues. Plus, there are more things that continue from previous installations, and I dont know why because i made clean installations. For ex. it asks for patron before start android always after making clean installations...
Because of that, i think that for everything back to normal state, maybe there is a way to make wipes deeply that i dont know... also for NFC come to normal work, is that so?
Please, give me any help... Thanks
I solved it doing this:
I have installed rom stock by twrp, next one:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...l-sim-t3620551
Then i installed ViperOS. NFC is working ok again.
Regards

Thanks for sharing! Flashing now.
Clean flashed 11/05 build but Wifi won't stay on. Tap the switch, it toggles to on then jumps back to off right away (and stays off). Restarting multiple times does not allow wifi to stay ON. Starting in Safe Mode, wifi also has the same problem. Maybe a kernel issues?
Anyway, Logcat zipped is here. Maybe someone can figure it out?
Is this worth it? Has the dev at least got the device?

For clean flash there is no need to format data. But yeah, if you formatted data you are decrypted. Thanks for the replay. OP should mention this, so people will not end up in bootloop.

And then the pic is a guide I made to flash the factory image without wiping data. Just a little FYI going forward. Twrp is kinda borked right now, it won't decrypt data properly with lock screen security enabled, so you have to set it to swipe or none before you can effectively use twrp. Stick to it my friend, you'll get it figured out :good:

Question Touchscreen not working

Hi, recently I got this a32 from a friend because my phone is broken, but there's a problem. Some time ago she updated this phone from android 11 to 12 and the touchscreen completely stopped working, i got the phone yesterday hoping to fix this problem but i updated to android 13 (oneui 5.1) and it still doesnt work, i tried do downgrade to android 11 but its impossible and for last i tried to install twrp and then a gsi (following a guide here on the forum), i noticed that in twrp the touchscreen does actually work but after installing lineage os 20 it didn't again, is there any hope for this phone?

We couldn't provide support for the hardware, mostly because you said that you've tried to reset the device and flash the stock ROM again.
If this doesn't fix the hardware issue, the assistance is the only way.
Probably a failure batch etc.
to be completely honest i flashed the stock rom by a backup i did before flashing lineage os, so if there's a guide on how to flash one ui 5.1 in order to have a clean installation it would be rlly helpful

Simply download the latest firmware from SamLoader (Bifrost) and use Odin in order to flash it.
Tell me if you couldn't flash
I tried installing the latest firmware with odin, everything went fine but nothing, touch still doesn't work, i think tomorrow i'll take it to someone to fix it.

what model of a32 is it? SM-A325F or??
One ui 5.1 firmware cannot be downgraded. I currently daily drive crdroid from nazim on one ui 5.1 firmware. my touch has never had issues. May be a hardware issue. Maybe a custom kernel would solve it. I built one for A325F that works on one ui 5.1 firmware. Give it a try from here. Its permissive btw. Just flash it in twrp. Although take a backup of boot before flashing incase something goes wrong

The problem is that after flashing it goes in a bootloop where it says that "this phone's bootloader is unlocked, press power button" i do it and it starts the galaxy logo with above the writing "the software you are using isnt official, you may have problems with security and features" and it gets stuck there, rn i flashed the original firmware with odin and the phone is working but touch still isn't.
EDIT: i forgot to add that when i flashed with odin everything was going fine until the phone's screen went from green to red, i've never seen this so idk if i should be worried or not (phone is still running normally).

yes i'm on android 13 one ui 5.1, the firmware is A325FXXU3DWB8_A325FOXM3DWB8_ITV. I got it checked and they said that it cant be fixed because i cant downgrade from android 13 to another one, i could try installing crdroid like you and if you could send me a guide it would be amazing, thanks again.

Just flash twrp for this thing from here. Follow steps on that thread to decrypt your storage and stuff. Then download crdroid gsi. Extract it. flash img file to system partition in twrp. Afterwards wipe dalvik, cache, internal storage
(internal storage is not necessary). You should be able to boot into twrp sucessfully.
I also have some workarounds and the stuff i use for my daily driving in this thread here.
If you need any further help i'll be here to assist.

Oh um i am sorry looks like thread doesnt contain instructions to that. I'll write em here myself
When you boot into twrp after flashing go to advanced and go to terminal
type
multidisabler
run it two times. Then go to format. Then press format data and type yes. Once its done reboot back into twrp again. Then flash crdroid as i said in my post above. and format the things i said. you should be able to boot into crdroid normally.

So uh looks like you have no options left. I just want to make sure. could you list the exact methods you used to flash the fw. Along with where u got the fw from? Lets see if the fw itself is broken or something.
Also this is very unrelated and time wasting. but you could try download one ui 5 firmware. Then extract super.img from ap. unsparse it and extract vendor.img and flash it to vendor partition using twrp. Then decrypt by typing
multidisabler twice in terminal as said in my previous post. Check if maybe an older version one ui 5 firmware has this issue fixed. one ui 5's kernel boots so one ui 5 vendor should work on 5.1 as well. It may not work but worth a try. you could also try doing this with android 12 firmware if that fixes it. if you do not have a linux machine availible i'll do it for you and upload the files for both firmwares here. Otherwise if its a hardware issue get your phone replaced or try getting the screen replaced. if still nothing happens ig switching to a new phone would be the only optiion.
So, to flash the firmware I used odin, the fw was from sammobile.
For trying to extract super.img and so on idk how to actually do it so if you could explain it would be really helpful. Btw trying to flash android 12 firmware is impossible because samsung made it so,
thank you again for the help.

i use samfw mostly for my firmwares. anyways. You need a linux machine nearby. ubuntu or arch. any distro based on them would work.
first you need to unsparse the super.img
for that we use
simg2img super.img super-raw.img
then we can use lpunpack or mount it to get our vendor.
we flash it using twrp and then we run multidisabler twice like we did when we first flashed gsi.
As you said above if you could do it for me it'd be awesome because i don't have a pc with linux rn.
