Unlock the bootloader Install the LineageOS (15.1 will work). It will rename the OEM Partition as Vendor. Now you are ready to Install any GSI Rom :fingers-crossed:

Hi there, I have Mi 5s China version with unlocked bootloader and Lineageos 15.1 installed. Which firmware (baseband) should I flash when updating? Global Dev or China Dev? Any differences? Do they interfere with Lineageos in a different way?
Thank you very much in advance

Well...china since you have a chinese version!
It's about everything related to modems, baseband, etc... so best to stick with the fw intended for your hw...
Example:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/xiaomi-firmware-updater/files/Developer/8.11.15/capricorn/
fw_capricorn_miui_MI5S_8.11.15_480641e50c_8.0.zip (and not the one with GLOBAL in the filename)...
Thank you. I thought so, just wanted a confirmation.
so I'm about to unlock my bootloader now that I got my code and I have no problems doing that but I'm just looking for suggestions on whether to flash a ROM or not. Anyone running the Resurrection remix are any of the other ROMs? And I seen that you can flash TWRP to recovery or erecovery partition? Which one should I do?just trying to get advice from someone who's already went through all this

I use RR. It's stable, but no Google pay. Omni Rom still have a number of issues I believe.

I have AL00 8g/256g model on 9.0 200 running RR 7.0.1. beta. TWRP is installed on erecovery and Magisk installed on recovery. Gpay does work if you follow steps in post #5 of this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/discussion-google-pay-magisk-discussion-t3906703 basically the newer versions of Google Play Services can detect root even if it's hidden with Magisk Hide, so you have to have an older version installed and prevent it from updating again. Then hiding that version with Magisk Hide makes Gpay work. Eventually Magisk will be updated to hide the newer versions.
install rom gl00balized from our forum, root and twrp. Everything works beautifully and seamlessly including recording conversations. How to write something.

Where did you get the unlock code from?
Don't bother. Even after unlocking, there's not much you can do with it. There are no official versions of popular roms for it because of the shady way the unlocking codes are obtained. And many developers can't make good progress because there's no official way of unlocking it. And they don't need to suffer to bring out a good rom when unlocking the bootloader is so difficult.
Even after unlocking there are so many broken issues because of the above.
Not sure you can even unlock with the code you got. Anyway how much did you pay for and to whom?
I also would like to know where you unlocked it? I just want root.
I got my code from the Russian site a few months ago .I flashed Resurrection remix and immediately went back to stock ROM. Not worth unlocking bootloader imo
Hello, I was wondering if I need to update my firmware on my Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro (whyred).
The reason for it is because it shows "1. November 2018" as latest vendor security patch level.
I am currently running LineageOS 17.1 which is based on Android 10 together with the Lineage recovery.
Mainly I have these questions:
1. Do I need to update the vendor firmware? In other words would that even increase the Vendor security patch level?
2. When I checked this website: https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/firmware/whyred/ it shows the latest Vendor Firmware to be from 2021, however with Android 9.0, would that even work with LineageOS 17.1 which is Android 10 level?
3. Would I need to flash back to the official Rom on Android 9.0 in order to then flash to the 2021 firmware ( should be included in the latest official rom anyway) and then flash back to LineageOS 17.1?
Any help is greatly appreciated as this is my first phone on LineageOS. (I did had a couple of other phones in the past with unofficial Roms so I am not a completely noob.)
Thanks and have a good day

LOS has old version of vendors. Yes from 2018.. they build on that... if you wanna updated version go to LOS github and ask there.. that's how it is, nothing can be done here. Only LOS team can help you.
Good luck and stay safe!

Does this mean 2018 is the latest vendor security patch level?

If you use LOS, than yes.
Maybe I am a bit dense to understand this, but shouldn't all have the same? I thought Vendor security patch level are bugfixes from the vendor, so it only makes sense to me to include the latest patches in all roms to get this baseline patch level. Ofc every ROM can feel free to increase security even further with additional patches on top of that.

Yap, but every custom Rom has it's own vendor version. LOS has old one and many custom ROMs. It's actually developer decision what version he's gonna use to build rom. That's it. Yes MIUI ROM uses latest. You can't mix them because you'll get bootloop or bricked device.
For latest version you need to ask developer to update it.

The vendor security patch level is just a setting configured here: https://github.com/LineageOS/androi...0038ae0340b1da03ae9c00ff50/BoardConfig.mk#L56
The official LOS 18.1 rom contains at least some vendor blobs from the latest MIUI V12.0.2.0.PEIMIXM rom.
That probably means the vendor security patch level date is not accurate and can be ignored.

Yes, it works. Considering you are currently using even older firmware.

You can flash the firmware ZIP from https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/firmware/whyred/. It only updates the various firmware partitions without touching the "boot", "system" and "vendor" partitions (on which LOS is installed).
For some reason the firmware ZIP is missing the new boot logo. It can be updated manually by extracting the file "/firmware-update/splash.img" from the latest MIUI Rom and flashing it in Fastboot Mode with
Code:
fastboot flash splash splash.img
I'm on Lineage OS 18.1 now with Android 11 and figured I just leave it as is. But thanks all for the help
Hello everyone!
I noticed that Model XT1952-4 isn't a supported Model for LineageOS 18.1
Did anybody try LineageOS for XT1952-4 before? Were there any issues?
Wanted to feel out any potential issues before proceeding.
Thanks!
From here:
I'm running it on my XT1952-4 model right now, no issues. Actually, I'm running the microg fork, so maybe try that if you don't want to take any risk, but the mainline lineageos should work too.
IIRC, most of the differences between those models is just the network connection hardware, since they're made for different regions with different cell networks. If you're in Canada, the "-4" model is the correct model, and all the relevant hardware for the OS should be essentially the same as the officially supported models.

Mine is also an XT1952-4, I'm trying to get the bootloader unlocked (keep running into "Unlock data unavailable" in fastboot).
