Hello everyone
I just bought 2 xiaomi MI5 phones, one for me and one for my girl. Both are the 32GB versions with 3 gb ram, one gold one normal. I bought them from 2 different vendors in bucharest (because of the color, of course).
Now, the issue is this:
- gold phone has MIUI global 7.3.4.0.0 (MAACNDD) stable
- black phone has MIUI by xiaomi.eu version 7.8.11.0 (MAACNDB) stable
I lokked out this 2 versions and i found out that they are not official also they have some crazy **** apps like 9apps and mobomarket and a weird keyboard.
Now i tried to update the gold versions to the latest version and says no update available via the iupdate manager from settings. Same to the black one.
The gold one has an signal issue with Telekom Romania and the black one has a masive WLAN battery drain (43% ?!). I google the WLAN battery drain and found a related post from Redmi note 3 that said it's some kind of ROM issue that masks another app that is usign the phone like hell.
I applied for the unlock from Xioami, now my question is:
Should i wait for the unlock and add the latest stable official update or go to another rom (before i had note3 and S5 from samsung and rooted them both)?
If your advice is to go to another rom, do i need to wait for Xiaomi to unlock the devices or it s a go without it?
Look forward for some help, i really love this phone, is perfect for me and my needs.
Best regards

Hi,
First of all, I don't own mi5, but I had the same problem when I purchased my Redmi Note 3 Pro (Snapdragon version)
It was loaded with unofficial MIUI ROM
(you can figure if it is unofficial or not by checking the version, OFFICIAL ROMS are MIUI x.x.x.x and UNOFFICIAL ROMS are MIUI x.x.x.x.x or so I was told)
So, my phone came with locked bootloader, the same as yours as I understand.
Problem with locked bootloader is I can't install ROMs or custom recoveries from fastboot.
Flashing OFFICIAL ROMs I downloaded from their official website using Updater App is a no no either, since I was on unofficial build (the updater app always return can't verify package error everytime I try to flash official ROM)
So the last resort seems to be applying to permission for unlocking bootloader ....
Until I found out that it is possible to flash OFFICIAL ROMS from fastboot without unlocking bootloader.
The trick is going to EDL (download) mode when you're in fastboot using ADB. After you're in EDL you can use mi flash tool to flash official flashboot ROMs.
You can search the forums for how to do that, and since I don't own mi5 I never tested it, but from what I understand the mi5 have EDL mode, just like Redmi Note 3 Pro, because it is Qualcomm thing.
I was able to get back to official ROM with this method much sooner before my permission was granted (took 8 days before I got approved).
And please remember above method only if you want to go back to official build, don't flash custom ROMS (idk if that's possible) at least until you got your bootloader unlocked, flash custom recovery (twrp) then from there you can install custom ROMs.
Hope this help
Cheers.

Glad you've gotten it sorted, should have MIUI 8 now too as that's available, great phones once you get the vendor crap from them, mine (Mi5 Pro White 128GB) was the same purchased from EGlobalCentral
Hi everyone,
I had updated my Galaxy Note 9 with March 2020 update and I am one among many poor souls who are suffering from display discoloration, horizontal lines during low brightness and over heating.
- I have tried all possible methods as suggested by Samsung team in their US community page, tried factory reset multiple times, nothing worked. Took screenshots of the screen and shared it to other to check if the problem is with display, but the screenshots were just fine, no colour distortion or verticle lines. So i am of the opinion that, its basically software glitch in March update.
So, I have some following specific queries. I tried looking for these queries in the forum but did not find any, so, have collated all my queries below:
- My current Bootloader version is 5. Is there any process by which i can downgrade my Bootloader from 5 to 4? I would like to go back to January update.
- If I root my phone and install custom rom (latest version of Linage OS. You guys can suggest a good OS, if you have tried one), will the display problem be solved?
- After installing custom rom as mentioned above, can I go back and install stock firmware with Bootloader version 4?
As you can see, I am just trying to find a solution to come out of display problem. Any other suggestions or any tried and tested solutions are welcome.
Thanks everyone in advance

I am facing same issue ...display distortion from 20% to 80% ..after that display looks fine.
I tried to downgrade to pie ..still no success...it has same issue...
I also believe that its software issue or some connection issue
Sue samsung for trying to force user to change screen. Samsung's screen is so expensive. Apple was fined for throttling the iphones.
I have same issue on my N9600... :'(
What is causing the distortion? Sofware bug? Can shot a picture showing the issue?

Ita all over the internet. Just Google Samsung galaxy note 9 display discoloration.
I don't know if this will solve your problem but you would be able to flash a Android 9 ROM on a Android 10 bootloader. If you're like me you hate Android 10. What you do is you flash Android 9 bootloader made for twrp flash the Android 9 rom of your choice. Than flash the Android 10 bootloader that you want via Odin, than fastly reflash twrp for Android 10
For me it works but I kind of jerry-rigged it to work. I regret every day updating to Android 10 but since I'm able to still run Android 9 on an Android 10 bootloader, I'm okay with that.
Hope this kind of help you.

only way is to trip knox by rooting and then flashing an android 9 rom. as you know once it has been tripped you will instantly lose access to samsung pay, secure folders etc. however on the plus side you have the choice of root or non root.
Hi guys,
Me and my mum are experiencing a similar situation.... I'm trying to downgrade my galaxy Note8 boot-loader, everything was working till I press the button to upgrade. Now I cant use any memory card all i see is 'the Sandisk card is not supported' and for my mum's Note 9 when she activates the biometric sensor the phone restarts each 15 - 30 mins. I always bought Samsung but now I'm considering to don't do it anymore...

Hi, ok so assuming we don't care about tripping knox, rooting and flash.. still, how would this be done?
I'm on a SM-N9600 atm, with latest Android 10, rooted and TWRP installed. Where do I find a custom Android 9 Rom (compatible with my model) that I can flash via TWRP?
Thanks in advance

All you do is just flash the android 9 rom. Downgrading the bootloader makes no difference if you have already unlocked it. The whole point of it is for people who are on later bootloaders and still have knox and want to go to android 9 which is not possible without the trip.

Hi @A|ex , thanks for your answer. I still don't know where I can find a custom Android 9 rom, compatible with Note 9 snapdragon (SM-N9600) that I could flash via TWRP... (Assuming it's impossible to flash stock Android 9 via Odin even if my phone is currently already rooted on latest Android 10 (bootloader == 5).
Here on XDA there are some ROMs for the Exynos model but nothing except the 'WETA' rom for Snapdragon model, which is not a full rom anyway from what I understand.
If you could shed some light on this it would be much appreciated: where can I find a custom Android 9 rom, flashable via TWRP, compatible with a rooted SM-N9600 (currently on latest Android 10, with a BL==5, unlocked)?
Thanks again for any help!!
Hey guys,
So, I've got a Redmi Note 9, not that I'm not happy with the stock firmware but the reason I got this phone was so I could play around a bit with other ROMs (had a replacement iPhone X and was just bored with it).
So, I'm not exactly new in Android world, all my previous phones were HTC, Samsung, Nexus, and all rooted and running custom roms.
Just so I don't feck up the process, can someone guide me to the process? I'm guessing I need to root it first, then install the custom recovery and go on from there?
Any specific advice ?
Thank you so much in advance.
Just flash the pathed vbmeta.img together the magisk patched boot.img and your device will be rooted.
I assume it's fine that in on miui 12 official & stable ?
Everything is working perfectly on miui 12 android 10 and miui 12 android 11.
Thanks, I'm going to start digging tomorrow.
So right now I have the Redmi Note 10 Pro bought from my country's carrier, the thing is I don't really like being behind updates (carriers fault) and MIUI is not really for me so I was thinking about installing a custom rom (ArrowOS to be more specific). But I still have some doubts about the whole process.
1. What happens after the custom rom stops being maintained? Do I still get security updates? If that's no the case, is it still safe to use that custom ROM or will I be forced to go back to stock for more security?
2. Let's say that for some reason I have to lock the bootloader once again, how do I go back to stock if I don't find my carrier rom on the internet (my carrier modified the OS)? Do I have to make a backup of the whole phone before installing the custom rom or is there any other method?
Welcome.
1. So, considering the history of the Redmi Note series, how good of a package Note 10 Pro is and how advanced the community is within 6 months, you can expect updates for the next 3 years, So don't worry about it.
I don't know the answer to 2., but depending on your country and carrier, I am sure someone would have made the stock ROM available?
Hello Guys!
I'm thinking to install GSI ROM on my Redmi note 12 pro 5G. I have some experience with custom ROM flashing in TWRP. As far as I know there's no TWRP recovery available for my phone!
Can I flash GSI ROM with Fastboot mode in my device?
If you have experience or some guide for me to Flash GSI, please could you tell me?
And I don't familiar with those terms in GSI ROM name so I'm afraid that I would brick my device or some would go wrong.
I'm planning to flash AOSP 12.1 v416 by PHH or Android 13 Project Elixir.
Redmi note 12 pro should be similar close to Note 10, an A/B device with dynamics partitions
Read here, just find the appropriate GSI image and everything else specific for Note 12 pro
[GSI][PHH][13] Guide & Support [Mojito][Sunny]
Why should I use a GSI ? Mojito already have custom ROMs ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Yes. But this thread exists due to the following reasons: You don't wanna fear about devs stop shipping updates. You don't wanna re-flash your custom recovery / kernel after each...

True, you won't need twrp or any recovery at all to flash gsi.
Step to flash twrp/recovery is optional if you want to get rooted because fastboot doesn't have sideload function. Unless you go for KernelSU, it's a different topic.
Nowadays twrp function starts to decease, unless you need to dump/backup partition without root. I use included recovery from rom for A/B dynamic device
Thanks for the info, I haven't flashed GSI yet. does anyone know any working well rom or recommend ROM for Ruby except MIUI. I will leave my experience after I flashed GSI.Hope some rom for this device will come out!

I bet if the buyers smart enough, they'll mostly will pass buying this. The price is closer to almost a mint second hand of Poco F4, offering almost better in everything except for maybe the main sensor (ov64b vs. imx766). And here we are Poco F4 has already a headstart in custom rom community.
And if you're willing to let go the OIS, Poco F3 isn't that bad either, price nowadays should be the same, its only disadvantages are slower charging and again, main sensor (imx586 vs imx766).
And the last, not to mention that Poco F5 is just around the corner... That should put some coffin nails to Redmi note 12 Pro.

What I said was: if you're looking for a particular good phone with a good custom roms support, and if you want it now, or very quickly from now, Poco F4 is already here, and its price is very close to Note 12 Pro with same feature and even more potent SoC. And if custom roms in Poco F4 aren't adequate, there's also Poco F3, its community is more active than F4, new one old stock F3 should be priced similar to Note 12 Pro, only if you're willing to loose the fast 67w charger and OIS in Note 12 Pro.
But if you still want Note 12 Pro with custom rom... Well, that's up to you. I didn't say it wouldn't see any custom rom, it just... looks less interesting than the others two.
Redmi Note 8 Pro is the most active for MTK device as far as I know, and for more two years consecutive after its release, it was ridden by a lot of issues. It was ironed out very lately, just after A12 out, and sadly most people has already moved out. Another one was Redmi Note 9 and Redmi 9, merlin and lancelot, again, most their roms stay on A11 firmware because latest A12 firmware gives a lot of headache. I've seen some development on Note 10s (evoX) and Poco M4 Pro (ported roms?), which those are MTK, but again, they're very slow and they had been released earlier than Note 12 Pro, but to be honest, those devices didn't bring the same attractive to Note 12 Pro.
If those aren't providing enough for arguments... Its closest rival is their own Poco X5 Pro, which again uses more common and widespread soc in custom rom community, the SD 778g, which it has some development on similar device such Mi 11 Lite 5g. Xiaomi 12 Lite also uses SD 778g, still hasn't seen any development yet.
tl;dr: there are many xiaomi devices, even the "flagship" Xiaomi 12 or Xiaomi 12 Pro, has yet seen any custom roms. I'd say: stick to existing community or any "its looks more guaranteed to be supported by community" devices rather than hoping this one would have one in the future.

You got the point, you are right. MTK are very slow in development.
I've flashed 2 GSI ROM (Acient OS, Project Elixir) today.
For somehow, I can't flash vbmeta because it made phone to bootloop when I tried to go fastboot on cmd. Project Elixir is lastest version and it have this strange bug that can't connect to internet via wifi even with VPN and DNS Change. Everything is working fine.
But those two ROM have same issue sharing that's brightness can't be decrease or increase and Screen is flickering in every 5 sec or so.

I've flashed 2 GSI ROM (Acient OS, Project Elixir) today.
For somehow, I can't flash vbmeta because it made phone to bootloop when I tried to go fastboot on cmd. Project Elixir is lastest version and it have this strange bug that can't connect to internet via wifi even with VPN and DNS Change. Everything is working fine.
But those two ROM have same issue sharing that's brightness can't be decrease or increase and Screen is flickering in every 5 sec or so.

Please try this, maybe it's a mediatek related GSI issue https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/gsi-13-lineageos-20-light.4509315/post-87620773
it seems that MIUI 14 cause big problems to flash GSI.. A downgrade to MIUI 13 can solve it

I did flash with MIUI 14 and successfully.
I erase user data,system,cache and A/B partition too.
I would use them if I have time to solve all the problem for myself and I think it's usable as daily rom.
The only problem I face is I can't flash vbmeta and it cause me bootloop to fastboot.
And important things is if you are in fastboot mode, phone screen show as FASTBOOTD
if not you are still in bootloader.
I use
Fastboot getvar is-userspace
Before
Fastboot boot fastboot

That doesn't sound as a working solution.
Your are writing .... If I have time to solve all the problem for myself ....
So what does that mean ?
And .....
I erase user data,system,cache and A/B partition too......
is also stupid. In a and b slots are the boot, vbmeta, system_vbmeta. So if you erased a and b slots, it can't boot without boot partition.

I'm back from my trip and I will comment here my process and screenshots. I'm redownloading all tools and rom to my pc.
I'm one of the end user and I'm sorry if I confused you all with unclear method but I will try to describe every step I did.
I'm finding solution for screen flickering, auto brightness issue and no internet connection error.
