Redmi note 8 android 11 firmware? - Redmi Note 8 Questions & Answers

Hello everyone
Sorry for my bad english.
i am noob when it comes to flashing firmware.. i am using havoc os android 10 for a very long time. i wanted to switch to android 11 arrow os but yesterday i tried everything.. but my note 8 was bootlooping or freezing while booting whenever i flash arrow os 11. i wasn't sure at the time that what is happening so i flashed havoc again. now when i read the post of arrow os it was saying i need to flash android 10 or 11 firmware(for better experience) in order to use arrow os 11. now when i flashed havoc i was using stock android 9. could it be the reason that i am not able to boot into arrow 11? also i searched for android 11 firmware for redmi note 8.. but i am kind of confused on that one because i was able to find only note 8 china firmware which are android 11.. rest are android 10 i don't know if it is necessary to flash global firmware or if i will be ok flashing china one. i wanted to flash android 11 firmware so i will not get stuck again with these kind of issues. but if there is no option i am okay with android 10 firmware. so in short my questions are..
Can anyone provide me a link for redmi note 8 android 11 firmware?
is it my problem that i don't have the latest firmware?
also can i flash firmware with my custom recovery or do i need to use some other software in fastboot mode?
any kind of help will be appreciated. Thanks

Hey, I tried ArrowOS yesterday on my RN8 global with no problem, follow the instructions and use the latest firmware for your device(for me its global 12.0.4) Link I used for firmware.

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 !

Treble bootloop on G960F

Hello everyone,
I'm getting really frustrated hree as I can't flash any android 10 GSI. I either get bootloop, stuck on samsung logo or stuck on restarting on samsung logo.
Flashing different kernels seem to change the above behavior (instead of bootloop I get samsung logo and vice-versa).
I tried everything:
Doing the no-verity thingie...
Flashing stock files then GSI - nothing.
Flashing soldiers oreo kernel - nothing
Flashing endurance kernel - nothing
I can't find a vendor image that's compatible with any GSI on my phone. I also can't find any kernel that's compatible either.
So please, end my misery... if anyone managed to install android 10 GSI on this TREBLE COMPATIBLE DEVICE, please guide me through or provide any useful file (vendor img/kernel) that I might have been missed.
I wrote this because I couldn't find anything that could help... Thanks in advance!
EDIT:
I solved the problem with the kind help from phhusson and the guidance from Lanreallenjay (thanks, both of you!), so I'm trying to provide the solution for anyone that might be having the same problem as I had. So here it is:
For PIE GSI: use stock kernel/vendor (anything stock), flash the GSI, then flash Magisk -> it should boot fine now (only tested with phhusson's GSI. I had vibrating restart loops before, I wasn't installing magisk, that was my mistake)
For Android 10 GSI: same as above, but install the modded Magisk from phhusson's git (located @ v200 android 10 gsi post) instead of the normal one .

Hey, thanks for the interest!
I've got the S9 Exynos variant (SM-G960F, Europe), I unlocked the bootloader several days ago.
It's on android 9 right now, I flashed the stock firmware after I've tried everything to get android 10 treble to work and failed.
Current kernel version: 4.9.59-16947752 (stock)
Build number: PPR1.180610.011.G960FXXS7CSJ3
I can flash any rom available besides GSI (I've used lineage OS 16 for a couple of days).
If you need anything else more specific just ask, I don't really know what exactly can help with this situation.
Cheers!

After flashing G960FXXS7CSJ3 November stock firmware I can no longer flash anything.
(can't mount data partition)
When I try downgrading to G960FXXU5CSF2 June firmware Odin fails and the screen says:
SW REV. CHECK FAIL (BOOTLOADER) DEVICE: 7 BINARY: 5
November G960FXXS7CSJ3 seems to have upgraded the bootloader security, does anyone know a fix?

So from stock you flashed AOSP 10 GSI to system partition then phh's magisk (in TWRP) then it works for you?

Yep, it does. Buuut the rom is not stable at all, I've got random reboots/ crashes when opening settings and such, not usable at all. I'm on ONE UI 2.0 beta now which is much more stable (daily driver stable actually).

Have you tried formatting data with TWRP (to the part when it asks you to write "yes") then flash no-verity?
You should at least be able to flash TWRP. If you can't, just download the proper USB drivers for your device, it might be the culprit.

Phh just hinted it's likely Pie vendor causing panics:
"First you need to flash stock rom. Then install magisk and then this gsi.
Though please note that on Pie vendor, S9 kernel panics and reboot every few minutes, so it is highly unusable."

Camera quality might be fixed with Google cam, if you find a good port.
Not to derail the thread but I just noticed after installing Android 10 beta 2 Treble Info now reports my S9 supports Treble A/B, curious no?

Wait what? That's interesting...
Can someone with more experience enlighten us about the differences between the A only and A/B?
A\B

No real experience but A\B devices have two slots ie double the partitions (OnePlus has 67) .
This allows updates to be installed while running from slot A while the updated system is copied to B.
Apparently Q requires A\B so now we're on Q may as well try that next time we're curious
Phh just released:
AOSP 10.0 v208
Fix suspend/dt2w for Samsung Q vendor
Fix backlight for Samsung Q vendor
Samsung Q's fine, love gestures but the bloat is killing me.
You can tell Q's going to be so much leaner without bixby & friends.
Glad we installed it to get compatible but I think now we probably stand a better chance with 10 GSI's, hopefully LOS17 & Pixel Experience get updated again soon.
Wondering whether to following the rooting instructions yet?
Phh did say "flash stock rom then magisk and then gsi"

TWRP for MIUI 11 Global Android 10

I had no trouble getting TWRP to work on MIUI 10 11.0.6 Global or lower. I was using LRTWRP. I upgraded to MIUI 11 yesterday and can't find any TWRP that doesn't bootloop or black screen. Does anyone have any suggestions on TWRP that works with GLOBAL MIUI 11. THANKS!

Hi, this twrp work well with android 10, you can't decrypt data in first boot but return to encrypt data in the next boots... I don't really why....
Search in youtube: How to flash TWRP and ROOT Android 10 - REDMI NOTE 8
You have the link of TWRP 10 LR Team link (G drive)
EDIT: I have tried again and the decryption works perfectly, it was a problem with an application to modify the selinux, without installing, everything is perfect.
If automatically re-encrypts your data, the password is your phone pin.

Thank God and to you people..after one whole day of struggle... Successfully installed Android 10 update indonesian rom and rooted and twrp installed... i am happy now
I have been struggling all day long with getting my N8P rooted - ever since I decided to give Android 10 a try there is no option to get it done.. I tried everything - all TWRP versions I could find both official and unofficial.. MiFlash, Fastboot, ADB.
I tried also that method when you patch the file (boot.img) with Magisk mngr. I watched thatKonah the Begonia Guardian's famous video numerous times. I even "clean all and lock"ed my phone by accident at one point. No way it works with MIUI 11/Android 10. Android 9 - no problems. What's weird - the same version of twrp (I flash them with adb/fastboot) once works flawlessly, then I can't flash it at all - phone softbricked.. back and forth.. what the f?? I guess I need to wait for another root/twrp/Android 10 rom - unless you have any ideas??
Can you explain the steps you have followed?

It was bootlooping each time I tried to install Magisk via TWRP.
#Does anyone know Official Twrp available for Redmi Note 8 pro but problem is that how to install in rom ?
# Another thing is that Twrp not support Restore Rom
I means to say You can backup your stock Rom successfully but you cannot restore it's says Restore successfully but device not started (i personally tested it this time I'm using Unofficial Twrp but Same on official Twrp too ) Does Anyone Know how to solve it ?

Downgrade from android 10 and flash stock rom?

Hello.
I currently have PixelExperience ROM android 10 version installed on my phone. I have downloaded the india version of official fastboot image. How can I install it as Mi Flash tool shows "mismatching device name"
Kind regards

Redmi 6 pro has rollback protection so I don't know how it may end.
Why you want to go back to stock? Any particular issue?

Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro MIUI 12.5 stable update based on Android 11 finally rolling out (Download link inside)

Update:
Stable update has been released.
Xiaomi announced they’ll upgrade the Redmi Note 8 Pro to Android 11 late last year. They have gone to update the global models, leaving the European variants waiting for some time now. Of course, the update was going to arrive, and perhaps, the company needed some time to address a few issues before the European release. Meanwhile, as expected, the Redmi Note 8 Pro Android 11-based MIUI 12.5 update in Europe is now available to select users.
The Redmi Note 8 Pro is receiving both Android 11 and MIUI 12.5 simultaneously, unlike the Redmi Note 8, that’s currently pushing Android 11 only. It is seeding with a version number – MIUI 12.5.2.0 RGGEUXM – and weighs in at 2.2GB. Coming along with the update are the features of the new MIUI OS to improve device performance and address some problems introduced by MIUI 12. Interestingly, the Android security patch level is pushed to July 2021 to increase system security and stability.
Of course, the update brings a stable MIUI based on Android 11, meaning that you get the features of the current Android OS as well. However, some known bugs are affecting all MIUI Android 11 builds. They include third-party launcher compatibility, ugly square chat bubbles, floating windows conflicting with keyboards, glitches, and lags. Luckily, you can improve the device’s performance by performing a factory reset after upgrading. However, that won’t fix the problems with the launcher as you need to revert to the MIUI system launcher.
Again, the Redmi Note 8 Pro Android 11-based MIUI 12.5 is a limited rollout. Those in Indonesia are also receiving the build with a version number – MIUI 12.5.2.0 RGGIDXM. It brings features of the new MIUI OS and a stable MIUI based on Android 11. Also, the Android security patch level has been pushed to July 2021 to increase system security and stability.

A11 will most likely be the last official update for this device, wouldn't be surprised if it will take till end of this year.
This works in global variant via TWRP, but I don't recommend it. I could not find a way to install Google Play, even though i tested a lot of tutorials, magisk, appstores.

not really since they re-release the RN8 variant....
might be A12 like the case with RN5
Global variant finally.... MIUI12.5 A11 Global sucks no fastboot so I guess you have to flash some MIUI version and then update, coming from POSP and not happy about it but oh well. Will post after I flash it and see how it is. Probably end up back on a custom ROM dislike MIUI bloated bs....

Stock MIUI is horrendous. Bloatware, permissions etc. I can't stand it.
I'm on PE+ 11 but would prefer an official LineageOS release (no such thing available for now). I would also consider a xiaomi.eu release but they dropped support for Begonia/Begoniain.

seems it's for Mi Pilot only.... that's why it's bootloop
Actually, it's bootlooping due to custom recovery..
I just did it like this:
- Download MIUI 12.5 Global from xiaomifirmwareupdater
- Reboot to recovery
- Flash from recovery
- Reboot to bootloader (using adb reboot bootloader or just boot to fastboot mode by rebooting and holding down the VOL_DN)
- Flash stock recovery (get it from xiaomifirmwareupdater, download previous ROM and extract recovery.img)
And with above I'm currently running MIUI 12.5.1. It's basically updated, I've lost no data.
I'm gonna dig in tomorrow for flashing custom recovery if i can find some working with this..
EDIT:
It may be that in order for TWRP to work on this ROM, a full wipe will need to be performed.
It's bootlooping due to patched vbmeta (vbmeta flashed with --disable-verity --disable-verification). So I'm unable to get TWRP to work. We might need some developer assistance ?

I just did it like this:
- Download MIUI 12.5 Global from xiaomifirmwareupdater
- Reboot to recovery
- Flash from recovery
- Reboot to bootloader (using adb reboot bootloader or just boot to fastboot mode by rebooting and holding down the VOL_DN)

I got it to install no issues I had to flash whatever the latest A10 MIUI ROM is from fastboot then it updated to 12.5 on its own. I am back on POSP I really just hate MIUI its bloated and slow, not worth the time or effort to be honest IMHO

Is Google Assistant and Android Auto working fine on that ROM? I've tried couple of A11 custom ROMs, they have issues with either GA or AA or both.

So my suspicion confirmed coz the old ROM zip got recovery image but the A11 ROM doesn't have so many files in it including recovery.img.
Thanks for confirmation & guide....
So, basically there's no way to root it for noW?

but without patching vbmeta, it'll just bootloop even with A11 ver TWRP, right?
one more question: can you activate Google Discovery feed on MIUI12.5 or it's stuck on App Vault?

nice, I'll try this tom...
so, flash the full fastboot A10 latest then A11, patch vbmeta, flash TWRP-A11 + magisk, then all is OK?

Work perfect and yes I feel ya I HATE that Google assistant doesn't work on most custom roms. Let me say this POSP is updated weekly, stable, smooth and everything works. Everything. My phone will like die with this time installed. Hoping the maintainer does A12 soon.
