Redmi Note Indian Thread [Pricing, Availability, Reviews, Support and more]

Hello XDAers,
Since there is an Indian thread in almost every device forum, I thought I would create one for the Redmi Note since it's already launched in India and sales begin from December 2nd, 2014.
Pricing - Rs.8999/- for Redmi Note
Rs.9999/- for Redmi Note 4G
Availability - Flipkart exclusive from 2nd December through flash sales. Also priority passes are available if you participate in a small quiz on Mi site.
Please guys keep the thread free from off topic discussions.

Your download didn't complete and the package is corrupted. You'll have to download it again.
OT : I opened this thread and bought an Honor 6 myself.

Hi blackyz, what method did you use to root version 38?
For anyone who have issues to update/download the version 38, do the following
Go here, download the rom (version 38): http://en.miui.com/download-218.html#360
Then follow this to update it: http://en.miui.com/thread-17988-1-1.html

Root method:http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=66833&extra=page=3&mobile=2

My Redmi Note got delivered by Flipkart Yesterday, its running v39 however first time I left phone connected, I suspect it downloaded v38 to a folder
called "Downloaded Rom" I think this folder came up after initial use
However phone is running v39 and I've rooted it already straight after the unboxing.

Yes. At least until Feb.
Hate to say it but it's most likely only the start of them being banned in many countries.

MIUI site having JHDMIBH 38.0 AS THE LATEST INDIA version available.
v39??? could not understand pl share full details and any new vissue dealt in v39
a sharma
sharing is power

Does anyone know why even the latest v38 update is build on top of android 4.2.2 when it's almost time for lollipop for most of the new devices.
I mean it should have been KitKat right out of the box. I had high hopes from the v38 update but it kinda disappointed me :/.
Btw is there any chance of KitKat officially in the near future?

asharma7: sorry my Bad, I wrongly posted.
Running JHDMIBH38.0 as it was a OTA update.
Don't know why such a good hardware is so BADLY done on the OS side.
the included 4.2.2 is still buggy, MX Player and many apps crashes on various settings.
Xiaomi is too hesitant to publish the Kernel Sources and that's the prime reason why custom Roms are still not available for this beast.
They have announced earlier that kernel source would be available around new year, lets hope they do that so developers can PORT other available
ROMS and make this device more customization friendly, especially if CM12 gets ported, I'll stick to that without a second thought.

V409N (korean v40) pie update available

Hey everyone,
seems like LG also updated the Korean V40 (V409N) to Pie (Source: https://www.lge.co.kr/lgekor/contents/mobile/swUpgradeDetail.do?swSeq=881 )
Would be nice if we had some Korean users here too, who would be nice enough to pull/upload a kdz (or atleast grab a link to it)
Should be able to get it to work on the V405EBW (european open market), by twrp flashable zip (will publish all that as soon as its stable and i have a bit more time)
Best regards
Markus
Edit: its public now

Is there any other way than LGUP and TWRP to flash the Pie update?

Well, OTA for the models which its already released for.
Verizon/Sprint already seem to have it. Korean models now too (even though no kdz available there yet it seems... or LG just put the SW update notice there and forgot to push the actual update....)

Rog 2 can't update

It's been a few months after buying the ROG 2 and I updated to Android 10. Now I've got another update but can't seem to download it regardless using mobile data or wifi. Is there something I should check before updating? Didn't have any issues upgrading to android 10 but the I'm stuck at the next update. Just keep getting the error " System Update failed. Your device has reverted to it's original configuration."

Hi, same here! (Italy)
I posted this https://forum.xda-developers.com/rog-phone-2/help/phone-modified-firmware-t4135801.
As I wrote in the post, I sent a mail to Asus, they asked for build number details and they said my phone has a "custom firmware" I installed (???? never done that) voiding warranty. So they'll fix it but as out of warranty.
In that post you can check the build infos I've right now. Are they the same as yours?

Same here. Bought in May, auto updated (via FOTA) in June (from Android 9 to 10), and this is the second update. I don't know what to say. I hope someone else could find a solution.

Same problem, same versions of the system. Unfortunately I also contacted asus and they told me the same thing ... I hope they have not taken away the guarantee.

Do you guys have the Tencent version of the phone? If so, that could be the reason Asus says it's been modified. A lot of third party retailers will still the cheaper Tencent version with modified global ROM installed.

Pretty sure I'm not using the tencent version
Anyways found a possible fix
Download the zip file from the Asus page and manually update in your phone. It will fix the issue

I was chatting with Asus support and they directed me to the asus page to download the update and update manually in the phone. While I was updating the zip file I noticed the FOTA update running alongside of it and I was able to update it. Hope this works for you.

Thank you, same here. They directed me to this file https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/..._I001_1-ASUS-17.0240.2007.27-1.1.204-user.zip
but since I insisted that I had not installed any custom firmware, they replied "the version you reported is not among the firmware files but in the Open Source section, this does not mean that you have installed an unofficial firmware" so no invalidation of the warranty.
Anyway ... the only firmware that was installed on my phone, was downloaded through FOTA ...

Could be due to the Android 10 update, prior to that everything was smooth sailing and issue free

Did you receive Android 11/ColorOS 11 ?

Hi guys !
Did anyone received the lastest Android update with package name CPH2091_11_C.01 with Android 11 ? It is said to have been officially released in Australia the 16th of December, but as far as I know, there's absolutely no information about someone who has got it anywhere. I'm taking a look like everyday for it on the web, still there's nothing...
If someone got the update, can manage to extract the downloaded package and upload it somewhere, it would be GREATLY appreciated !

Still no update for me too. I'm in The Netherlands so I guess I have to wait even longer.

I already asked Oppo France on Twitter about that, all they say is "It's currently being deployed in France" but that's clearly not true, and they won't say anything else... I would like them staying true to their communication, or at least giving information. The only thing sure is that nobody knows haha
If I can, when I'll got the update package I'll upload it somewhere for other users so they won't have to wait

Ok, so I checked the Oppo website, there was an update of ColorOS 7.2 available that my phone did not find, so I downloaded from the web and applied it in the recovery, just after rebootr checked updates and now ColorOS 11 is downloading, so you may try to search for an update on the website first.
@kremmit take me informed

Oh hey that's nice that you managed to get it. For me on OPPO site is the same version I have on the phone.
Reno4 Pro 5G
CPH2089_11_A.36
2021/01/18

Damn I have no idea then

I guess here they haven't deployed it yet. Nothing to do but wait.
But thanks for the info pal

Got it here in Belgium. First the 7.2 update, then the 11 update few days after. Not really stratified with 11. I hope there will be a new update soon to correct some things. Btw, you can use a VPN to trick the system and try to get the update through another country.

I agree, I'm not fully happy with ColorOS 11, the worst thing being the Chat Bubbles replacing the Messenger ones (but permitting to use them with Messages, WhatsApp, Messenger...). They are really horrible. Messenger is losing all the functionalities that made it a really nice application, and there's no way to bring them back as it uses a new Google API instead of the one Facebook made for it years ago.

So which version is the update c.50??

Following the tip to be on VPN so i'm connected to Belgium for the full day and just got the 7.2 update.
Hope to get the 11 update soon.

The worst thing is (for me) the Bubbles, it's a thing Google forced the developpers to use, and to be honest it's ****ty af... It replaces the good old Messenger Chat Heads which were really perfect, now it is horrible (go take a look at the review of Messenger on the Play Store and Google it, you'll see what i mean). I really hope Google will permit Facebok to use their own API back instead of forcing us to use this.

Bought this phone recently with 7.2 a.44 already installed. No sign of color 11 yet even trying VPN around the world.

Had the same problem, try to see on the official Oppo website if there's any update. In my case there was one I downloaded and installed, just after that it found the Android 11 update.

They are taking their sweet time releasing it.
I'm still on 10 and same version on their site. Waiting...

Thanks, but every oppo website I've tried has a worse update than the one that's already installed on my phone from new, the a44 on mine has February security so can't be that old.
What update and number did you find?

It was that one for me :
https://assorted.downloads.oppo.com/firmware/CPH2089/CPH2089EU_11_OTA_0400_all_zce8BgCfYuJK.ozip
(Don't be afraid of the 2089 part, it did work ^^)
It's the A40, (I don't remember the version I was on before) but before installing it I did try a lot via VPN and other things to update to Android 11 without success, and after installing this manually it came up by itself

Question Need advice for the G998U/DS and living in France

Hi guys,
I need advice for the s21 Ultra that i bought on Rakuten. In the description the seller said it was an international/US version and at this time I didn't know that it could cause problems knowing that I live in France. I have the G998U/DS version
For now the phone is working perfectly. I don't have all the problem i can see in other thread like the broken GPS, a poor network, wallet broken etc. Everithing is ok.
But i need advice for the last update with Android 13. Actually i get the Android 12. And of course the phone does not offer me any updates. I know this is because i have a US version and i live in France.
So question 1 : Do you think I will eventually get the update in the future ?
Question 2 : If I install the update by flashing the phone, won't I have all the problems that others have with this us version and living in France ?
Thanks for your support fox.

Hi,
If everything is working out of the box, then you shouldn't worry much. It's always better to install the update via OTA. It doesn't matter where you live/use the device, as long as there's an update for your device (Snapdragron chipset and CSC), it should automatically show up. If you want to install the update manually, then it's better to download the official update via Frija and install the update via Odin.

Hi,
Thanks a lot for your answer. It help me a lot.
About the update, i read everywhere that where we live/use the device is impact the update. For now i don't have any update that show up. I am in Android 12 and i should have the android 13 update.
Lot of people said that i probably never had the update because it's an import us version and live in France.
What about that ? Do you thinks i will get the update in the future ?
Thanks again

It seems you are on a March update. I have a feeling your device's was a locked device which was then unlocked...I could be wrong through...https://samfrew.com/model/SM-G998U/ Here's what I could pull up regarding your device's update. You need to careful on which file you download as I don't see any OXM ROMs for US devices...they are provided by carriers.

Ok,
I think in my case, update will not be possible. I'll stay in Andoird 12 until next phone. Never buy again in Rakuten ahah.
Thanks for all your help.

Remove SIM, use VPN to connect US and try update over wifi.

Just try and not working but that was a good idea

When i chek on Frija, he give me this :
What do you think about this update ?
Edit : this firmware contains these files

If you are sure of the CSC, go ahead. The reason is yours is not OXM rom so you have to be extremely careful when choosing the files.

Ok, thanks, i think i'll do the update.
To be sure, you mention a OXM ROM but i can see that i have o OYN rom like you see in this screen :

I really can't place the device's region. There's no region called GCF in Samfrew. I feel it's a subset of another region. Dunno

Finally I did not dare to flash my phone, I am too afraid that I can not use it anymore
Anyway, thank you very much for your help
