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.

is themes apps working for you? flashing emui 8 via huru will give incomplete flash.

This was possible for the US variant ( L24) since July. It was mentioned couple times before. I think using hwota is a cleaner way of upgrading.

How do you do it?, Where is the links of the files?

thanks for responses, i updated the op and hopefully that is a bit more informative.
let me know if it is confusing at all and ill try to fix it

Can i flash p gsi.? (havoc 2.0)
And.. Is volte working..?

If I am not wrong I think volte will not work on any custom roms except for a stock based custom room because Huawei hasn't released source for it. Dunno I could be wronf

It's not a custom rom... It's gsi

anyone tested other gsi? i only tried open kirin roms

are you sure it didn't rebranded? at about information, it say bln-24 or bln-al20? it could brick the phone, I thinks is better using the emui 8 from india instead the china version

hey guys, any A ONLY GSI ROM should work. i used treble resurrection remix NOT openkirin as the op states.
and i DID NOT rebrand, it states in rom info i am BLN-L24 -thats usa ver.

That's great man, i need to backup a lot of stuff since last TWRP backup, but I'm definitely gonna do this. I own a BLN-L21, so i hope this'll works the same as on any other variant, and that would be the real gem in all of this. Thanks for sharing

Searching for "hwota7" gives you this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/development/hwota7-hwota8-honor-6x-t3792601
In short, all you have to do is put the oreo firmware files (L22 version, not the Chinese version) in the update folder and run the batch script. Choose L24 region during the process and you're done. I've done this at least couple dozen times as I frequently test out all treble ROMs as they're released/updated, and sometimes go back to nougat in case I find something that's not compatible with oreo. But all in all, this oreo ROM is very stable and is my daily driver.

During your testing, which ROM has been the most stable in terms of daily-driver use so far? Last year after getting this 6x I tried a few different ROMS, back before OpenKirin happened, and had nothing but problems with boot loops and etc so I went back to stock EMUI5. Few days ago I got B365 and then B376 via OTA after installing the Huawei software on my PC. This phone really makes me miss my S5 with LineageOS.

Can I flash Android 11 rom on my Android 10 device?

As the title suggests. I recently bought my 7T and wanted to install XTended but it appearently built on Android 11 while my device is still on 10 (OxygenOS v10.0.15 HD65BA).
Just want to make sure. This will be the first time I attempt to flash a custom ROM and I don't want to mess up because of stuff like this.

Of course

Really?
I just want to make sure because I saw on the post of Ressurection Remix this point and it got me worried
"1. In general, you want to have the SAME version of OOS on both sides. Im not going to go into detail on how to MSM, and flash a full OTA locally, reboot, then flash the same OTA locally again and reboot."
Is this step already covered when installing a Android 11 ROM or is that something I can disregard? Or should I make sure I do that as well?

Well, it first depends if the ROM is using OOS10 or OOS11 blobs. I've seen lots of people install A11 ROMs before OOS11 were even out.
But I'd go into the ROMs telegram group or something and ask just to be safe.

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.

The best way is to flash the stock with miflash. (Remember to select the checkbox at the bottom right on clean-all, do not flash with clean and lock otherwise lock the bootloader. To some he sent the phone in brick just this forgetfulness) I strongly advise against using twrp to flash the stock!

I am using xiaomi.eu at the moment.
So, xiaomi.eu is a custom rom that takes Chinese stock as a basis and adapts it to global use, like adding Google services, translations for many languages and removing all Chinese apps. I prefer it to the global stock because being based on the chinese stock it has the fastest updates and functions that xiaomi puts only in the chinese rom. Also because the global roms is developed by poco So not directly from xiaomi and it is not said that they include all the features that xiaomi includes on the Chinese stock.

Right now I'm crdroid 7.11 android 11 with twrp installed. When looking at the rom files for EU I've noticed that they have some versions that look like this xiaomi.eu_multi_HMK40_POCOF3_21.10.27_v12-12-fastboot.zip and than ones that look like this
xiaomi.eu_multi_HMK40_POCOF3_V12.5.14.0.RKHCNXM_v12-11.zip

The first is Android 12 weekly beta and can only be flashed via fastboot with the appropriate file that is inside the package.
The high is stable android 11 and can only be flashed via twrp.
I don't know if it works if the flashi from crdroid, I have not tried, it might or might not, at most if it doesn't work you install the stock with miflash and the flashi from there ...

Thank you, you have been much help I've been reading through threads and telegram for days now looking for the answers but couldn't find them. This phone is so popular things become cluttered and hard to find. I don't think I have ever seen a phone with as much development and that's surprising when I have a Nexus 6.

YES
But bootloader will remain unlocked.
If you want it locked, like virgin phone, you must use a called fastboot rom via MIFLASH tool.
Select the right rom version at XIAOMI ROm download site.

Flash it first without locking, boot your phone (you don't have to configure it, even you shouldn't because of incoming reset), and if all is good, flash it once again with locking bootloader.
