[SOLVED] NO NFC on Redmi K20 PRO

Hello XDA Developers,
Any help needed, pleeaase.!
Probably I'm doing something wrong, or there is serious problem with my phone - no NFC. Not sure if it is ROM related or related to the phone itself.
Any help, troubleshooting, workarounds, mods will be really appreciated.
FYI: I Did not change the ROM, was the original with the phone, see details bellow:
Phone Tester says following:
No NFC support
This is what Phone Tester says about the ROM:
Model: Redmi K20 PRO
Device: raphaelin
OS Release: 9 - Pie
OS Build: PKQ1.181121.001
Firmware: V10.3.1.0.PFKINXM
Bought on AlieExpress, Seller: mi global store
(don't mix up with another seller XIAOMI mi store)
Update:
At the end and thanks to XDA Developerz I changed the ROM with TWRP and xiaomi.eu version. It fixed the issue. Now I have good ROM with TWRP recovery!

I'm not sure what that company did but here's what shows up for me.

Also if you go to Phone Settings -> About the phone I have this:
Model number Redmi K20 Pro
Model Name M1903F11A
Kernel version: 4.14.83-perf-gf578f07

raphaelin is the device name of the Indian version of the K20 Pro. This hasn't been released yet, so there shouldn't be any official ROM's with that device name. This suggests that it isn't an official ROM. Did you buy it with a pre-installed global ROM?

Yes, I did. However what I found from 954wrecker is that he is is using Firmware V10.3.11.0 mine is 10.3.1.0
not sure if this where the problem is. Is there any hardware bus scanner available as an apk?
I'm bit new to xda-developers, s but with experience as Linux sysadmin as well as some development.

I know nothing about hardware bus scanners, however it would be recommended to install another ROM from a legitimate source. Your phone will most likely be unlocked already. The xiaomi.eu developer ROM 9.6.27 has had a few people say that it's stable. I'm still waiting to be able to unlock the bootloader, so haven't tried it myself yet.

Thanks guys, you almost convince me that it is a ROM issue. My phone is unlocked, which is obviously very good news.
Now, the question where to get the FULL ROM, and not the updates. I'm on V10.3.1.0, some people have 10.3.11.0 here.

This thread lists the official and xiaomi.eu ROMs
https://forum.xda-developers.com/k20-pro/how-to/redmi-k20-pro-firmware-10-3-8-0-9-6-13-t3939647
I'm guessing you want a global ROM, so it's the xiaomi.eu ROMs, these are listed under EU. Looking on the forums there seems to be an audio issue with the latest stable release.

Please flash xiaomi.eu firmware k20 pro supports NFC and it works well.
Sent from my Redmi K20 Pro using Tapatalk

Mine support it , yours too , just factory reset it

Thanks to everyone. At the end I flashed xiaomi.eu 10.3.12 and it fixed the issue.

I have the same issue.
Received my k20 pro yesterday and spent hours and hours to configure it properly (tons of apps and settings)
But no NFC...
Rom MIUI GLOBAL 10.3.1. 1
is there a way to update firmware without erasing everything??
Thank you

Good question! Not sure, better to ask not in this thread, but in separate thread will be much faster response. Are you planning to install TWRP? Because if you plan to do so, ask how you can try to do this with TWRP.
I can confirm that xiaomi.eu 10.3.12 fixed my issue with NFC and also I can tell that 10.3.9 chinese rom does not have issue with NFC either (why Chinese ROM you may ask? - because it is full image ROM, and initially I made mistake with TWRP did not decrypt the filesystem, I did not know the password at the that time which was my PIN, so I flashed it twice) Avoiding my mistake you can go directly to xiaomi.eu 10.3.12 with TWRP.

I have found that Redmi k20 pro has hardware related touch problems. Please check and confirm that.

Question Can Realme GT 2 has a custom rom?

As title, i just bought myself a realme gt 2- global version, everything is in general quite good, from screen, camera to battery life. But realme multitasking is terrible, with 8gb ram but i cant keep more than 5 apps in background. I wonder if this smartphone running snapdragon 888 can have a custom rom something like pixel experience?

I do not think the bootloader can easily be unlocked, especially on the Global version.
As far as I understandm the Chinese devices allow for the bootloader to be unlocked so that Chinese resellers can flash the global ROM and ship the phones internationally.
Perhaps Realme will change their minds and allow us to unlock the bootloader and make custom ROMs, however I would not count on it.

it will be available for sure in the near future.

Question Redmi 9T Differences

Hello,
I have a Redmi 9T (lime) device. But unfortunately no ROM has been made for lime. What happens if I install ROMs for Juice or Chime?
For example, it is stated as lime in this, but when I want to download it, chime appears. Is it okay?
Project Elixir
projectelixiros.com

Up.

Up.

There is no major differences.
1. For Poco - 1 camera less, may lead to instability of stock camera, not more, gcam anyway.
2. For any - no nfc/nfc, no problem on hardware without nfc, but won't work at all on roms built without nfc support.

Ok so I hardened my heart and installed elixer on my Redmi 9T(Lime) and it went pretty bad (luckily my phone survived).
1. The unofficial recoveries are not stable enough and I had a lot of trouble due to encryption
2. After messing around I was able to install the rom (have to try 2-3 different recoveries)
3. After successful installation the phone was stuck in a bootloop
4. I gave up at that time and just flashed the stock rom
So conclusion is that there might not be major difference on the surface but I think at firmware level there are difference

Ok forget about my previous comment I was an idiot..
So the bootloop was because of encryption and today I was able to flash elixer on my redmi 9T (LIME)
So back to your question whats the difference and that is none, I will explain why:
1. The phones Poco M3, Redmi power, redmi 9t lime, lemon, 4G, etc are same and are given a unified code name Juice or Chime depending on the firmware vendor used by the developer of the custom rom.
2. Chime codename custom roms are using OSS vendor which is opensource and is supported for a longer period of time but is not stable yet
3. Juice codename custom roms are using MIUI Stoch vendor firmware which is obviously developed by xiaomi and is very stable
you can flash any chime or juice rom in your phone as long as you follow the developers guide properly because there are very high chances that you will run into encryption issues because recoveries dont support androind 11 or up decryption.

As long as you dont lock the bootloader you can recover from most of the situations, you can still install the rom, encryption issue occurs when you dont follow the rom maintainers instructions while installing the rom, flashing the stock firmware will reset the process and you have to start again from step 1

I have an ignorant question. Been thinking about this since yesterday.
I know the NFC equipped R9T are region dependant, but just recently Google Wallet is now available in my region and also supporting NFC contactless payments with select banks. The R9T in my region are being sold without NFC. A global variant Redmi 9T for Malaysian market.
My silly question is, is it possible for us to obtain the NFC hardware or get it from a donor R9T phone that has it, and then install it in the phone and make it working? Like plug and play?
I assume it's very, very impossible... But assuming it cannot, why tho? Is there a permanent restriction hard-coded into the phone due to region dependant?

The last Stock miui 12.5 is the most stable and bug free IME.

I'm using Pixel Experience ROM, downloaded from the official Pixel Experience site, it's android 13, it's a pure Android experience and works smoothly. BUT Bluetooth audio and IMs Services doesn't work, despite that it's a pretty reliable ROM! I'm loving it!
The maintainer said that'll solve those errors on the next builds, but without an ETA, so we wait.

I think you don't know how hard I had to look after a at least working ROM for this phone.
And I'll say, it was a lot. This PE ROM is the best and stablest from the Custom ROMs that ain't Modded MIUI and ain't GSI.
So I keep my comment, PE , right know is the best and stablest Custom ROM for Redmi Note 10s, even though it has some features missing.

Well, I think you're right. But the system doesn't suddenly closes or gets laggy, it's smooth, and the main features of a phone works flawlessly. At least I brought some info for this phone community, because it lacks a lot.

I would give an ETA if I didn't have these assignments overwhelming me. Otherwise, I also am suffering from the bugs I myself have, on which I'm working whenever I can of course. IMS seems like an easy fix as all I think I need is the APK from MIUI 12.5. Otherwise, I suspect BT media will be harder to handle.
Another bug I was reported and could confirm was offline charging just like on all GSI ROMs so yeah, lots to fix, lots to tinker around.

So far I'm enjoying the ROM, and I thank you a lot for providing it! If you need any help i can try my best to do it (I'm using it as my daily drive so some stuff I'll not be able to do).
I have one question about the ROM though, does this ROM is GSI or is a full custom ROM, and what's the difference?

"Your device must be on bootloader version 12.5.16.0.RKLMIXM / 13.x.x.x.SKLMIXM... The current bootloader version can be checked by running the command getprop ro.bootloader in a terminal app or an adb shell from a command prompt (on Windows) or terminal (on Linux or macOS) window."
The Warning sign says "12.5.16.0.RKLMIXM / 13.x.x.x.SKLMIXM" So I'd recommend you install the global version first, and then de PE ROM, but I think you could do it right away, from your Indian MIUI.
I myself had the Indian MIUI, but I messed a lot with the phone and ended up with the Global MIUI. My path was changed to ARCANE MIUI, LitE MIUI (both custom MIUI) and then back to global and then Pixel Experience since my device bootlooped after I depleted my battery one day.
Complementing the PE ROM again, my battery depleted one day and I just put it to recharge then everything worked as it should. (Traumatized by MIUI bootloops)

I'm using it since launch and it's holding down pretty good. The percentage drops "faster" (not a huge thing) apparently, but the phone withstand better on the latest 10%, I've noticed. And overall it lasts a whole day, and a bit of the next day morning (daily use, not gaming or any heavy task). If gaming, or some heavy task as, music, camera, video/photo editing, it drains more, but nothing out of the ordinary.

I will wait for it to be more stable for now or I'll try the final build.1 last thing to ask iam on miui 13.0.3.0 SKLINXM how should I go for installation of pe13 rom on my 10s? Plz let me know.
thanks.

Before I answer your question I'll ask something off topic. Does your phone gets some audio stuttering when listening to music?
Now to the question. First I ask to you, do you have a unlocked bootloader? Are you using any Custom Recovery?

Well i do get some stuttering when I listen songs on speaker.No i haven't unlocked my bootloader yet but i do have permissions of unlock.and iam on stable miui 13 v13.0.3.0 A12 Indian varient rom

Perfect. Before we start I want to say, I'm no professional, I'm just a enthusiastic user LOL.
First thing to do is backup your sensitive data (so much important)
Then unlock your bootloader, you can use the official ways (MI Bootloader Unlocker), no need to seek the MTK tool way, that is used for bricked phones and to avoid the timer.
After that you can use official MiFlash Tool to flash the Global MIUI 13 ROM. JUST REMEMBER TO CHECK in the inferior right side "flash_all" not the "flash_all_lock" otherwise you'll relock your phone after the flashing process (a huge pain).
Then I'd recommend installing a custom Recovery such as TWRP os Orange Fox (googling you'll find how to do, it's a 4 steps process, but you can find guides out there)
Then follow the PE guide on how to install, and you're good to go!
