Hello everyone!! - Introductions

Hi everyone. I am quite capable at flashing devices, if provided a guide. Currently I am on a pursuit to find if my Redmi Note 10 Lite can be flashed with Redmi Note 9 Pro's latest ROM since they have same (very very minor changes) hardware and specs. Not having the latest software for my hardware pinches my nerves and I need to find a solution for that. Hopefully I can get to flashing soon.

[Q] Xiaomi Redmi 4X (santoni) development

Hello,
what is needed/whate are we waiting for until the Redmi 4X custom ROMs come out? I found some LineageOS and one other unofficial ROMs but I don't trust stuff outta xda so I'm too afraid try them.
Thanks
PS: There are the links:
https://ronnyliem38.blogspot.cz/2017/05/lineage-os-13-untuk-xiaomi-redmi-4x.html
mod edit - off-site download links removed
The unofficial lineage versions contain two chinese apps with access to usage statistics. They disappear after disabling the access. It's nevertheless a little bit dangerous. I use this redmi 4x as a PirateBox host, so it's not a problem for me. The Lineage build is working good, finger print sensor is working, camera is functional.
Hello,
is it possible to flash the baseband from Xiaomi Redmi 4X with band 20 (global variant?) to other Xiaomi Redmi 4X with 3MB 32GB as root with any tool to get band 20 ?
Is there any flashing tool of basebands for Xiaomi devices at all ?
hello

I flashed it with TWRP. Have you first wiped the phone?
Hi everyone,
are there any news on this?
I got my 4X yesterday and I've been looking for a good custom ROM but can't seem to find any except for that one with the chinese bloatware.
kinda hard to find good rom. so much stuff on the internet now days
Finally found something on a Russian site. It's all in Russian which is why you can't find it on Google...
They have inofficial builds of LineageOS (and some other ROMs as well) for the Redmi 4X.
I'm using it right now and there are no issues. Everything works smoothly, no signs of bloatware. Can recommend to try it. :good:

It's great. Used it a lot yesterday (2,5h screen-on time) and still had 50% left in the evening.
I can't comment on how it compares to MIUI though, haven't used it enough for that.

I have tried the LOS13 v1 and indeed the most things working smooth.
Only annoying is the the lack of a fix for the (further good working) gps. I am not sure if this has influence on draining the battery.
On the same site you can find also Mokee, Flyme and some derivates of Miui
I for now run the rom of Mi-Globe rom, based on the latest Xiaomi.eu version with some extra features and debloated Mi stuff
I am very satisfied with this Nougat rom. With a custom launcher I can live with the Miui base
4pda talks are banned here.
Also this is a known issue with those device and many that run on cm. The GPS, BT, and wifi have been buggy for years and they never bother to fix it.
do you have Root app for Redmi 4x?
Anybody have Root app for Xiaomi Redmi 4x, please share with me, thanks

Thanks for pointing to this. Edit my post
I think that Miui (and debloated derivates) is the best choice for now, that has the least issues

The official Global beta 7.6.22 has two versions, MM 6.0 and N 7.1.
Xiaomi eu has adapted the 7.1 version for the Europese customers
Latest weekly release is v7.6.29 .
With Mi-globe you can strip and add (like root) some things on this EU rom
Everyting works as expected, but personal I don't prefer Miui

You need to have unlocked bootloader and installed TWRP, then go to Magisk thread here on XDA (https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445 and download the zip here and flash it from TWRP. Now you have MagiskRoot and also ability to install systemless packages (read the description, it's the single most cool thing we ever got for Android apart from Xposed).
Do not install SuperSU, as it would probably break the MTP - although for some people apparently modifying build.prop worked, for me it didn't.

Is there any future of ROM development for Redmi 4X(santoni) ?

Searching the whole Redmi 4x a.k.a Redmi 4(India) thread on XDA I came up to know that xiaomi has not released kernel sources yet. I was looking forward to buy this device but looking at the lazy response from manufacturer I doubt the development and getting it. Share your thoughts and suggestion down below. Should I get this device or get Lenovo zuk Z2 plus which is available around the same price ?
I'm waiting for a deal to get one for my mom. I'm happy so far with my Note 4X (SD 625) which I'm running with Resurrection Remix, so I think a slighty downsized and down-specced version would be great for her. If there is no custom firmware in the near future, she'll be fine. I wouldn't wanna miss LOS or RR on my phone, but MIUI isn't bad for lots of people.
There are already a few custom ROMs for RM4X like yurekaOS based on nougat 7.1.2 and as i read in forums it seems to be running ok for the most users.
Still i wouldn't expect too much in custom development. see RM3S for example. there are ROMs available but development goes slow
So if you are no friend of MIUI (and upcoming MIUI 9) and want lot of custom development then you might consider buying another phone.
Hi,
any plans for CM 13.1 or Lineage equivalent for Redmi Note 4X Qualcomm not built on nougat?
Need Android 6 as 7+ doesn't allow for USB bus speed auto-negotiation, which is "kinda" big deal in my application.
Thanks for input

Question - Blackshark 2 stock android on Mi 9 ?

Hi all,
As the name says - Xiaomi BlackShark 2 is SD855 device which has been recently released. It sports stock android pie in order to help further improve performance of the device.
Has anyone tried to flash its rom to Mi 9?
Please just thoughts and/or experiences - no need to debate if Mi 9 needs this or not.
I would love to try myself but I still dont have the device.
Thanks!

This is very interesting and theoretically it should be quite viable since same SOC and probably same fingerprint sensor. But not same camera so maybe camera might have issues.
But otherwise seems like a nice idea

[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.

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.

Yes touch issues only activates when you use more than two fingers at a time.

Request helping with understanding the custom ROMs for Note 9 (SM-N960U)

Hey XDA Forums, first time poster but long time reader & custom ROM fan.
A friend gave me an old Note 9 w/ the SnapDragon 845 SoC. Its screen is busted so it's getting serviced under Samsung's $50 program right now. When it gets back I'd like to install a custom ROM on it but I've been lead to believe that working around/through Samsung+Qualcomm devices is generally much more difficult than other phones. My experience is rooting, flashing, and installing Lineage OS or Pixel Experience ROM on some other devices: Pixels, a Xiaomi Mi A1, and two Exynos Galaxy phones (one A5, one M20). All of these devices have very clear, straight forward How Tos by the respective groups that maintain those projects. I had a BLU phone w/ a MediaTek SoC that I bricked because I was just fumbling my way through trying to flash it from some random forums out there.
So, for this Note 9 I'd like to make sure I have the general order of operations correct and what ROM projects (if any) are out there.
1) Make sure phone is updated to Android 10
2) Install TWRP
3) Download ODM.
4) After wipe & factory reset install ODM.
5) Install custom ROM.
If the above is correct, are my only options for reliable ROMs the ones listed in the Note 9 Snapdragon ROMs/Kernels forum? https://forum.xda-developers.com/f/samsung-galaxy-note-9-snapdragon-roms-kernels.8318/
Are there any good/trustworthy Samsung enthusiast forums (hopefully ROM-focused) that anyone is able to point me to?
Thanks a ton everyone, I appreciate your time.
