Ramdisk missing from stock kernel. - Realme X Questions & Answers

My ramdisk partition is missing .
It's supposed to be included with stock kernel. Right?
Would flashing stock kernel again help? Where can I find stock kernel (seperately?) How to flash it?
(I unlocked bootloader and flashed Pixel Plus UI in my Realme X 1901 indian varient. Then, I flashed Magisk app after changing it's extension to '.zip'. Getting no ramdisk in Magisk afterwards)

Custom kernel update

Hi, I have cm13 and custom kernel arter97, my question is should I update kernel manually (flash the new version) ? Is there any better way to do that, automatically update kernel when new version arrives?

You should download the kernel zip and flash in TWRP or using FlashFire

So, I should manually check for kernel update, and then flash it.

Nice. Works for me
Magisk and Data
Thank you for share your work TheCapesCrew. I Just download the rom and I should flash it today.
I'd like to know if it already comes with magisk or if I can follow the standard procedure to install it.
Should I use the boot.img inside your rom, or the original from ASUS website to add magisk to the system?
And there's anyway to flash your rom without data loss?
I'm currently with version WW_ZS551KL_15.0410.1812.95_0 version with magisk 19.2 and TWRP 3.2.3-0-Z01G on my Zenfone 4 pro.
Thank you so much!
You should be able to flash right over. I would stick with my bootloader since it matches the kernel version and recovery kernel. The recovery I included has the correct kernel also. I actually compiled a twrp that's newer. 3.3.1, just haven't published it yet.

Hey TheCapesCrew, I hope you are doing good.
Did you keep working on ZenFone 4 Pro images?
I'd like to know if you did any newer image flashable for this phone.
Thank you very much!

[newbie] Few questions before going full custom

Hello!
I currently have completely stock and BL locked M1803E7SG 3/32, on MIUI 10.3.1.0 Stable Pie.
Tomorrow is my big day, timer in MIUI unlocker will finaly allow me to completely mod my device.
I did some modding a long time ago on Xperia X10/Xperia Play (old 2.3.3 Gingerbread times), but many things changed nowadays, so I have few questions:
1) Firmware - is it something like low-level SoC driver pack included in official releases? Back in a day nothing like that was updated/changed. I have latest stable Pie so that point shouldn't be a problem beacuse I will flash Pie FW compatible ROM, just want to confirm my understanding there.
2) ARB - as far as I'm concerned, this thing has no meaning if I'll flash Pie AOSP ROM over stock Pie MIUI right?
3) Kernels - again, back in a day kernels were completely separate from ROMs itself, do modern ROMs require kernel flash when going from official MIUI to AOSP-based ROM? Or is AOSP-compatible kernel already included in ROM .zip?
I want to use this one:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-5-pro/development/rom-cosp-t3891988
Another thing about kernels, I want to use latest PureCAF, do i need to flash it before ROM .zip or after?
So my path should be like that:
Official MIUI Pie + stock kernel + locked BL
1. Unlock BL via official Xiaomi tool
2. Flash latest TWRP thru fastboot, boot into it, flash Lazyflasher thru TWRP
3. Perform a wipe (dalvik, system, cache, data)
4. Flash ROM .zip thru TWRP, flash Gapps.
5. Flash PureCaf .zip thru TWRP again
6. Reboot into clean&fast new phone?

1. Don't care about that driver, the only thing you need to pay attention is the rom based on oreo or pie fw. The other thing you need to know is if the custom recovery compatible with pie fw or not, i recommend latest OrangeFox R10 RC3.1 as it's unified for both oreo and pie fw.
2. ARB has almost no meaning now, old arb3 fw is just too outdated and not recommended to use as lots of roms now moving on to pie fw which makes this even more meaningless now.
3. No, compatible kernel is now included in the rom zip itself, although you can choose to flash another custom kernel based on your taste for better performance or battery backup, noted that some kernel only supports aosp, some only for miui, some for both and some only supports pie/oreo fw.
4. Your step is right, but you'll need to flash dummy.img (just google whyred dummy.img) before you can flash other in fastboot, Orangefox doesn't require lazyflasher, TWRP does. For Gapps, read careful if the rom already includes it or not (Pixel Experience for example), miui based like xiaomi.eu doesn't need it too, custom kernel is flashed after rom.

Hi where can I download the RC10 version of orangefox? Looking in the development thread, the source forge page has RC9 as the latest.

Hi,
Can you please guide me as well? I'm on same boat as OP.
I have to unlock BL and install custom ROM. I'm on MIUI 10.0.6.0 Oreo (Indian whyred).
I can just follow this thread right?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-5-pro/how-to/one-xiaomi-redmi-note-5-whyred-unlock-t3778049
And I want to install Pixel Experience ROM. And what's about this fw-less ROM!
So, for PE Pie ROM, I just install the other recovery (Orangefox) instead of twrp. Everything else is same right.
1. Unlock BL from the main thread
2.Install Orangefox recovery
3.Flash ROM
Thanks

[RECOVERY][UNOFFICIAL] TWRP for Galaxy S10+ G975N Korean variant ONLY

For G975N there are 3 Android Q firmware versions released by samsung as BSKO, BSL7, and BTA4 from old to newest.
Only kernel source of BSKO is released currently (2020-03-01) which you can find here: https://opensource.samsung.com/uploadSearch?searchValue=g975n
This recovery image is built based on kernel BSKO (G975NKSU3BSKO) and it works with BTA4 firmware so it should work with all these 3 firmware versions.
Note: This image is not Magisk patched yet, if you need magisk to be installed in recovery partition you'd have to patch this image yourself first.
How to use it?

The G97xF version works on G97xN too no need for this thread.
The ones meant for F/FD Variants work on N devices. The only differences are some radio bands and CSC. plus the N Variant being sold as a single sim only just like the F.
Thanks though
long time ago I tried the twrp but not working for my g975n, so I thought it's still not supported.
could you delete this post @admin? thanks.
Thanks for this amazing work !

Hello there!,
Does it mean that I can flash F variants rom on N device? like converting the korean to international?
Is it possible to just flash the F stock rom on my device?
Thanks,

Via custom roms based on ONEUI with patched system and kernel. yes.
Via ODIN, you'd have to do some patching else it won't boot.
Can't exactly remember, but I had an N variant before.
