Codename for the device.

I'm on. Miui 10 developer rom 27th update on vince. I have flashed region fix with twrp treble, eventhough default region appears China, I have to manually select India after each reboot. Any solution?

I've done the installation through orange fox and that issue didn't persisted anymore so, you could try that too.

not to be confused, our device redmi 5 plus (redmi note 5 in India) has the code name 'vince'
redmi note 5 china (redmi note 5 pro global) has the codename 'whyred'.

Whyred is redmi note 5 global and china, it's redmi note 5 pro only in India.

Just got this phone after some years off android and I find myself being confused by so many terms. Would love to start flashing roms like I did 5yrs ago.
Can I know the process to follow? (already unlocked my bootloader)
Thanks in advance

you can use xiaomi tool kit (search on google) to flash any custom recovery. then flash a good rom (currently miui 10 is best for me.) flash magisk if you want root stuffs or go with flashing lazy flasher after miui rom. reboot, done!

I have downloaded miui 10 global fastboot rom. What is orange fox? I already unlocked bootloader..

Hi @ridersam
Need some advices from you. I am interested in installing Custom Rom on my Redmi 5 Plus. The one I am referring to is Android P Vince (already got hold of the step by step instructions). My concerns :-
1. Waiting to unlock my bootloader in the next few days (Redmi 5 Plus) with root too and to install Red Wolf Recovery (fastboot to install the standard twrp). The default is OrangeFox-R6-Beta-vince.zip recovery
2. From standard twrp to flash Red Wolf Recovery instead of OrangeFox recovery. Can I do that?
3. Going to install Android P Vince custom rom in Redmi 5 Plus (serial of steps instruction from the devs). Done and reboot as my daily driver.
4. Can this Red Wolf Recovery be used like normal twrp recovery for other custom rom or backup and/or restore not only Redmi 5 Plus?
5. Through fastboot I can also install Red Wolf Recovery, right! Do I have to rename the file like recover.img rather the actual name RedWolf-Unofficial-vince-2.img? Another method to install recovery.
Thank you

I have a question
Does the aosp ROMs, pixel experience and such are using the open sources of Vince that Xiaomi released months ago?

[ASK] [MIUI 10] Install unknown sources apk
I've installed MIUI 10 via updater app today, following a factory reset from MIUI 9.6.4. I didn't use fastboot method bcs I'm just lazy lol.
Today i tried installing Sony Music App apk which I had on my previous MIUI.
After finished installing, the screen says "App not installed"
Any idea how to work around this? The install permission setting of unknown sources is confusing as you need to allow each app you would like to open apk from. And no, this is not because screen filter app which restricts you from pressing the install button, I don't use such app and i get to press the install button.
Then i tried enabling it from all my file explorer app, even manually enabling the PackageInstaller system app to install from unknown sources. The problem persisted so i try downloading other apk from another mirror site, and nothing is working.
I'm currently on the 8.8 update of MIUI 10.
Help appreciated.

step-by-step how to install the MIUI 10 - PIE without losing the data?

Can anyone provide a step-by-step how to install the MIUI 10 - PIE without losing the data?
Each one I ask passes me different information and I can not come up with a solution.
I am using MIUI 8.1 and I have installed Recovery Oragen Fox 9.0.1. What do I have to do to install MIUI-PIE now?
If I want to go back to MIUI-OREO, what do I have to do?
Thank you.

Download xiaomi.eu rom, delete everything besides internal storage, flash xiaomi.eu zip, and boom miui Android 9
Also, if you want to go back you will have to flash global 10.2.2 via xiaomi flash tool

use a previous version of orangefox one for oreo. i beleive 9.0.1 has pie support. if you use this youll end up in fastboot screen.
so use oreo twrp not new ones that support miui pie..
follow rom installation then flash with oreo support twrp. when it boots. then install now orangefox with miui pie support. follow instructions and flash.
to go back you need a fastboot rom and mi flash.. as long as you use same ARB use masik xiaomi.eu they are firmware less.

TWRP 3.5.1 Supports Android 11

I noticed a few days ago that a new version of TWRP that supports Android 11 is available for a lot of popular phones including the Pixel 3a. I was wondering if anyone has tried installing and using this version of TWRP yet. If you have, did you have any issues installing and using it?
TWRP 3.5.1

Tried it already, and got an error. However I am on A10. This was a mini update before A11 support. Read here.

Can you install android twrp on android 10? and can u install 10 based roms using said twrp?

Ok, thank you

Using 3.5.1_9 on LG V20. Any idea why it seems to think that the year is 2067? I thought the flux capacitor in my DeLorean was broken.

is there android 11 support yet?

They would have to figure out the A/B partition thing.
That was the issue a year ago, at least.

I really enjoyed using TWRP on older android versions but sadly, I don't think the A/B partition issue will be resolved.

Hey, a working TWRP for A11 on Sargo has been created by @Captain_Throwback on the Sargo/Bonito Telegram group. Should be available soon.

No, I updated to Android 12 in November before TWRP 3.6 was released.

I was able to boot 3.6.0 with android 12 installed, BUT /data failed decryption, so I'm guessing needs a12 encryption update. I did not try to install it, just fastboot the image.
This is the first time I tried TWRP on the 3a, as I upgraded to a10 immediately after getting the phone two years ago.

Google Pixel 3A is Stuck in Bootloader & OEM is Unlocked while performing software Update.
please help installing TWRP with ADB unauthorized.

Any update on this? I'd like to use TWRP and flash Lineage 18 (Android 11)

Redmi Note 8 Custom Firmware Beginner Question

Hey dear xda-dev people,
i have bought a used redmi note 8 pro. And because i want a safe and secure smartphone i would appreciate it that the OS has no google software on it. I read that theres only an unofficial lineage os which is currently not updated anymore. What else custom firmwares are safe, do regulary get updated and doesn't have any google tools? I thought about crDroid.
How do I install custom firmwares and stuff? I'm not a complete beginner - i know adb fastboot etc. but I read that there should be a special situation with the Redmi note 8 pro. I just enabled the dev mode. My device has 128 gb and is actually running on global MIUI-Version 12.0.2. Stabil. The android version is 10QP1A.190711.020.
Can you please help me and spread your knowledge?
Greets,
newbie922

Seems you didn't even search for it...
Here is a full guide. Flash TWRP > Do a full backup > Install any ROM you want, you can find some of the ROMs here.

I searched for it but i was pretty unsure because i read that a brick can happen very easily with this phone. thanks a lot for your answer!
The phone is now succesfully unlocked. Is the
"5. LR Team TWRP" really the correct twrp for my actual android (10QP1A.190711.020) and miui version (Version 12.0.2). Stabil.
Then I will try to flash it and report. Should I Install something like an antibricktool first?

@newbie922 Do you want to install CFW or nom-CFW custom ROM?

I want to install a cfw without google apps. Also a non cfw with no google apps would be great!
Do you have something which you can recommend? Regulary updates would be cool.

Mabye Havoc OS?

That sounds good. I already read about this both firmwares. But question now is if it's safe to install the LR Team TWRP with my actual android and MIUI-Version. After i succesfully installed twrp I can install the resurrection remix or the havoc os?
Data Encryption is still possible with both of the firmwares?

For Resurrection Remix - follow method #1 from Megathread https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-info-psa-redmi-note-8-pro-megathread-cfw.4056527/
For non-CFW ROM - first of all - install TWRP 3.5.1 Unified.

So you mean this twrp for example? https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-black-twrp-3-5-1-v2-unified-begonia.4241633/

Concerning the megathread it's not possible to just install a cfw afterwards by flashing it? I have to downgrade to A9 etc. etc.

your problem sounds more like data partition incompatibility
use CLEAN flash first (format data, not wipe) follow this tutorial
if it dosn't work, then start playing with FW
FW links
RN8 : https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/firmware/ginkgo/
RN8 T : https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/firmware/willow/
you can flash any region fw, (flash with recovery as normal zip)
just don't make mistake flashing ginkgo FW on willow or willow FW on ginkgo
you will break the phone !
