Hi people,
I have just purchased a variant of the Redmi Note 8, called Redmi Note 8T, which is basically the same device but with the long awaited NFC! This variant just launched in Europe.
In theory should be same device as the RN8 with added NFC (the SoC and other specs are indeed the same) so I wanted to share some info:
- MIUI 10.3.1, Android 9
- Model Name M1908C3XG, the same as shared by a leak on some websites
- The codename of the device is willow, the ROM has in its fingerprint willow_eea which confirms I have an EU version., but the Redmi Note 8 codename is ginkgo.
I have already applied for bootloader unlock (need to wait for a week) so soon I will be able try some things if somebody asks.
I hope modding will start soon
I bought too, but waiting for delivery yet..
Hi, i got the Note 8T too, and i got a little problem.
Does yours have a notification LED? Cause i dont have any working on mine, and It seemed to me that the "normal" Redmi Note 8 has It.
So i wanna ask if is mine broken or if it is a downgrade from Redmi.
Me too..... where is?????
All Note have it... possible note 8t not implemented???
I not found it.....
In reviews on web writes, this model dont have led notification ..
Yeah guys, there is no notification LED on this device, what a bummer.
Redmi Note 8 has a led notification
Redmi Note 8T doesn't have it

Ohhh.sh..t....
The redmi note 8t is. Areally good phone but the notify led..... Oh.. when i bought I havnt thought....
Hey, I just ordered the phone too, how is it looking with the dev.?
The first OTA has been released for our device. I've grabbed the URL, it's MIUI 10.3.5.0 and can be installed only if you are on 10.3.1.0 which is the only version (so far)...
https://bigota.d.miui.com/V10.3.5.0....PCXEUXM-V10.3.5.0.PCXEUXM-d79044d785-9.0.zip
The first EEA ROM: https://mirom.ezbox.idv.tw/en/phone/willow/
https://bigota.d.miui.com/V10.3.5.0...EAGlobal_V10.3.5.0.PCXEUXM_e2b2a958aa_9.0.zip
I hope xiaomi.eu will support the 8T. No Miui 11 for now?

Fun fact:
In Camera information, codenames start with ginko. We knew cameras were the same, but that's something more.
Hopefully with just minor modifications, 8 development will work on 8T. I've got 14 days still to wait to unlock though.

Hi
You have the Chinese version of the Redmi Note 5 the India version has a 20 no front camera.
Sent from my Nokia 7 plus using Tapatalk
Pro extension name is only really used in India, where they have the Redmi 5 Plus(Vince) relabeled as RN5.
Depending on what they seller provided, you might have China or Global Version.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/wiki/specs/redminote5
Thanks, last thing if i red correctly, i shall not worry anymore about :
- unlock bootloader global as it seems to work again no more error 81.....
- compatiblity with customs Roms
Correct ?
Also is/will global version be able to flash miui10 ?
I would like to taste, but surely prefer custom rom
@Stransky ahh you have the nokia7+. Wanted to buy it but this bootloader stuff frozed me

Yes, you can flash miui10 !
-Make sure you have bootloader unlocked and TWRP. First make a full backup with TWRP.
-Also logout of your miui account.
-- files you need. Obviously you need the miui rom, lazyflasher-no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip and the google 3 installer (also magisk as you want to root)
Check on youtube on what to wipe and install procedure. If you have titanium you can backup your programs and settings too. I also use sms & calllog backup .
I would stay away from the custom roms for now as they are not as good at the moment (but will improve)
I got an used whyred, and I already flashed LOS 15.1 in it. How can I tell if my phone is China version or global version?
Thank you.

No, no ,no
China and Global verison are very similar. After installing LOS 15.1 it's going to be even harder to guess which one is it. 3 GB of RAM tells that's it's definitely not a Pro verison, that is available in India. So It's China or Global
Global version supports LTE B4 and LTE B20. So if You are able to connect to those bands, than You have a global version

THanks MikiGry. Is there any good app that helps me find out which LTE my phone supports? I tried several but only one of them show that my LTE band is 3, and sometimes 7. But I probably need the LTE band capability and not the current band connected.

No I don't have the box. But I checked the IMEI online and it says my phone is MEC7S, which seems to be the Chinese model :crying:
But that IMEI checking website might be wrong, since my phone got only 4GB of RAM.

It's a Mediatek phone, so don't expect any custom ROMs.
Take a look back at the Xiaomi phones released with Mediatek chips and see how little support from developers it got

Exactly. The only fully working custom is Xiaomi.eu which is based on stock firmware with a few tweaks.
Redmi Note 4 MTK was released with Android 6 (Marshmallow) and never received a working Android 7 (Nougat).
Redmi Note 4 Snapdragon was also released with Android 6 and received Android 7 (Nougat), Android 8 (Oreo), Android 9 (Pie) and there is already an Android Q beta version released.
The choice is simply: If you want a custom ROM don't buy Mediatek

Let's wait, we never know! The (partial) source code release is a step forward. I think that the "missing" code parts have with the LCD to do and not with the chip anyway.

There are many differences :
- Xiaomi never released Kernel sources on Note 4 (MTK), you can find Note 2 and 3's on their GitHub (very tardily released), but not Note 4's...they already release Note 8 Pro's
- Xiaomi didn't sell Note 4 in western countries...now they officially sell many devices in Europe.
- most western users bought SD625 version instead...MTK community wasn't that big
Sources are there, now Mediatek need a "best seller"...unless that, custom rom won't exist
In past, a team succeed in doing rom for several Mediatek's devices (M.A.D. Team)

I know the Pro version and Pro Max version share the similar specs except physically the main camera sensor. I have a doubt if anything developed for Pro version will also work for Pro Max version like recovery, ROMs, etc. I see no lead for custom development here...

Pro Max is Indian Version and didn't got any developers still for specific development but it has Unified ROM Builds which is also used in other Redmi Note 9 Pro versions called "miatoll". It is stable enough for Pro Max go and try it.

Unofficial twrp:
https://unofficialtwrp.com/twrp-3-4-1-root-redmi-note-9-pro-max/
Rom:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-9-pro/development/rom-pixel-experience-t4158325
So if you flash that twrp then everytime you connect your phone to pc, it will show "note 9 s". You can follow the step on how to flash, but when I flashed no_verity I got stuck in bootloop. So you can ignore that step
Rom is pixel experience, didn't see any bug yet. Just the front camera didn't feel optimised. Like when I taking selfie using apps like instagram or snapchat, it would be dark and blurry.
Hi,
How do I flash it on my Redmi Note 9 Pro joyeuse global?

Why hasn't been an official TWRP developed for Redmi Note 9 Pro...vs. older and new ones have.. any idea?
I guess it's the same situation as with Lineage for certain devices - there is nobody willing to maintain the software's port to a specific device.
