Hey, a friend of mine recently got his Redmi Note 5 Pro and I was wondering if I can root his phone so that I can install google camera but without loosing OTAs. If I root the device, will he be able to receive OTAs normally? He is on latest miui 9.6 stable.
Thanks in advance.

problem will be recovery. theres redwolf and if am not mistaken also orangefox recovery that can install OTAS
If you simply want to test gcam than u can follow this guide. i have tested it and it works on both miui 9 and 10. and doesnt break OTA. i even got updated from global 9.6 stable to 10 stable while having this and all was ok. its the safest way u can use gcam without root or anything.

Thanks. I wil give this a try since I'm trying to avoid rooting or flashing twrp.
Hello - I have a S9 SM-G960U. I had recently upgraded to Pie and not enjoying the experience. I went through the past posts and understand the downgrade has to have the same binary information i.e. my current baseline is G960USQU4CSC7. So I assume the oreo version has to have "4". But I am unable to find this. Can someone help? Thanks.

You cannot flash lower bootloader versions which is the 4, most likely you are stuck with Pie if Oreo is lower
Hi,
I updated my phone a little while ago, and now im looking for flash a new rom to it, either pixel experience or an ASOP one.
Am I able to do so with the antiroll back?
Im on:
Miui 11.0.7.1 stable 11.0.7 (PEDMIXM)
Android version 9PKQ1.181007.001
Kernel 4.4.153-perf+
Bootloader is unlocked and i have TWRP, Orangefox and Magisk running on it at the moment.
Are there any roms I can look at?
Thanks
My POCO M2 Pro (6+64 GB) is still running MIUI 12.0.4.0 (QJPINXM) stable based on Android 10. It keeps saying there are no updates available but I'm pretty sure it has the requisite hardware to run Android 12, plus some sites are saying it has received the 12.5 stable based on Android 11 ROM already. I have even downloaded a MIUI 12.5 ROM (at least that's what it says) from some shady website but it keeps telling me "Update to this stable version is not allowed".
Anyone else facing the same problem? Got any solutions?

Ridiculous how Xiaomi ignores these phones just because "they're budget devices". The M2 has such good hardware.

Yes i agree but as usual xiaomi being xiaomi we can't expect much from them or atleast i don't expect so for me custom roms are always the best go.

Any updates to this issue? I am also stuck with MIUI 12.0.4. Tried Resetting and reflashing stock 12.0.4 ROM. Downloaded several official ROMs that were released after aug 2021. Cannot flash any of them with the updater. Only option seems to be unlocking bootloader and trying to flash fastboot version. But I cannot unlock bootloader as my work related enterprise apps will stop working.
Has anyone been able to upgrade to Android 11 ROM on poco M2 pro?

Afaik there hasn't been any official updates for the device after 12.0.4 version. I'm going to wait aa few days for the full rollout of MIUI 13 and hope that the m2 series is included
The MIUI 12.5.3 update finally showed up on the phone today. Installed it immediately. It is still in stable beta, But I got a notification as I had enabled the option to get updates early in the settings.
Installed fine and seems to be working fine. Android updated to 11. Security update till Jan2022.

Bit late considering A12 has been out for 5 months now. I've already switched to a custom ROM.

I am talking about Miui 12.5.3.0 official, I thought i would give it a go to see if they have improved anything but i guess i was wrong even for flashing that. Currently flashed derpfest a12 just released new build
I'm new to xiaomi world, I just received this minor update today, but there are few bugs and lags, I want to revert back.
Both Roms are stock Stable Global EEA.
I don't know how to dowgrade, because recovery zip and update app not work, unable to downgrade.
Can you show me a complete guide to flash that firmware? I need unlocked bootloader?
Anything in particular I have to know?
