Remember that HTC A9 has the same Mediatek chipset and somehow received Marsmellow so it is not impossible at most. Let's hope that Xiaomi wont leave this phone without ANY system update, otherwise milions of users will be pissed off and may think twice befor buying their next device.

i cant root miui 8 tried all possible ways
[Redmi Note 2 General] Berik84:
Flashing beta SuperSU v2.74 worked for me
[Redmi Note 2 General] nikolas60:
what version of miui 8? 8.6.6.12 or 6.6.14
[Redmi Note 2 General] gasperoni:
this is the last time i bought a phone with mediatek or xiaomi. i hate miui but because they don't release the source codes developers cannot produce decent custom roms. The camera of CM romsis awful andAosp is also not very good. most important is allowing double tap to wake but they don't even allow us this feature to have. My power button reacts really bad because i have to push is so often. I don't care if I have Miui 8, 9, 20 or anything. They should at least update to Marshmallow so we can have some progress. It is so annoying. We live in the year 2016 and there is no real communication or information comming from xiaomi to the users. This is so sad and annoying
[Redmi Note 2 General] gothed:
they talk too much about MIUI8 , but still using 5.0.2? what's wrong with xiaomi?

even they don't want to release kernel source, so it is small chance for someone to build CM13

:(
[Redmi Note 2 General] mario_R:
HTC A9 has Snapdragon 617, not Mediatek processor.
[Redmi Note 2 General] DarthJabba9:
I think it should be pretty clear by now that if excellent 3rd party ROM support is

really important

to you, you should steer clear of the Xiaomi+Mediatek combination. That combination produces an amazing price+performance ratio, and is almost unbeatable at that. However, with such low costs and margins, it is unrealistic to expect the kind of development/support that exists for the more expensive devices (i.e., you get what you pay for).

Personally, I am not complaining about lack of sustained development support. I do

not

like the fact that we are stuck with 5.02 - but I went for the RN2 with my eyes wide open (and probably so did most people who chose to buy it). Battery life could be better - but the same goes for expensive iPhones. The camera could be better, but it is good enough for most things. The device is reasonably well specced, very cheap, reasonably fast, and there are some reasonably good cooked ROMs in this forum. It is an excellent medium-range device, at an

entry-level price

and with an

entry-level support

. Premium, it is most certainly

not

. So what is it realistic to expect? There is always the OnePlus 3 ...

Bottom line: anyone who is

really keen

on excellent 3rd party ROM support should go for a

Snapdragon

device. It will cost you more, but you will get what you pay for.
[Redmi Note 2 General] RicardoMullion:
First miui 8 will based on 5.0.2

But after will update to 6.0

---------- Post added at 10:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:48 AM ----------

Le 1s and htc one x9 is also helio x10 chip and they update to marshmallow already
[Redmi Note 2 General] staleta:
this is not try, you don't have valid information, you sad that on official forum in april, you are wasting our time.
[Redmi Note 2 General] RicardoMullion:
htc one a9 is snapdragon 617 this is true

But another htc one x9 (not a9) use helio x10

But both a9 and x9 use android 6.0

And other china Letv le1s also helio x10

But they push android 6.0 (letv eui 5.8) update

Already
[Redmi Note 2 General] Bala maddy:
Which miui8 version is better guys... 6.6.12 or 6.6.14
[Redmi Note 2 General] gasperoni:
So you are saying ''well you didn't pay much so you have no right to complain''? Sorry but I think we can expect a descent communication and that we get informed properly from xiaomi. Mm was annouced month ago but till today nobody knows for sure if we will get it. And allowing gestures is not too much to ask for. The device is technically able for that but we don't get this feature or the codes to develope it. I had a cubot x9. It was cheaper than the rn2 but it had this feature. And it was a MTK device too. I'm not that much that it has to offer all that a 700$ device does.
[Redmi Note 2 General] DarthJabba9:
My point is that I am realistic in my expectations. Having a cheaper Cubot that does different (or more) things is beside the point. We bought a cheap phone with a particular ROM installed. I did not expect to be able to change that ROM, or for it to be updated frequently (or even at all). If I could not have lived with what it came with, I would not have bought it. For every person here who wants to change his ROM, there are millions who do not know what a ROM is, or who could not care less. For every person here who would like kernel sources (I certainly would), there are tens of millions who have no idea what a kernel is, and who really do not care. That is why someone can sell the phone so cheaply. By all means, complain if you must - but I doubt that anyone in China is listening!
[Redmi Note 2 General] 433Mhz:
Reality is simple:

We have very slim chances of ever getting updates. Only its popularity might convince Xiaomi to update the RN2.

If you want updates, buy a different phone or a Mi series device. The RN3 Pro might also get updates because of its Qualcomm chip.
[Redmi Note 2 General] wasd-:
Xiaomi again after seeing their support? No thanks.
[Redmi Note 2 General] LSD DREAMER:
So glad only have to use this phone for another month and a half. Definitely getting a snapdragon 820 or 821 phone. This was just a temporary solution but with some hope of just using it for rom flashing and testing and to see how mediatek x10 was performing. I will never buy a mediatek or a Chinese phone. Not worth it at all.
[Redmi Note 2 General] staleta:
Never again, rn2 is my first and last phone from xiaomi,

you are wrong, they are listen in china, and their name is Lenovo

you're wrong again the phone is too expensive for what it offers,

for 30 euros more i could buy a lenovo with pretty much the same characteristics + 5000mah battery and Snapdragon + android 6.0

so again you're wrong
[Redmi Note 2 General] ufonek:
Even this is not true. I bought a Lenovo P70a and it was the biggest mistake. MT6752 is not compatible with Android 5.0 :D No other manufacturer says so. ARM64 and Android 4.4 really luxury. Lenovo never. Lying lying and lying.
[Redmi Note 2 General] omlet:
As always with closed sources... Me i've got bluetooth, GPS drops, my device is dying I think...
[Redmi Note 2 General] ataraxioss:
guys you sure this is for redmi note 2?
[Redmi Note 2 General] rethinkk:
Yeah,I m using now
[Redmi Note 2 General] staleta:
Thats not try, you are lying, stop do that you are not helping anyone on this forum by llying.

I dont know what are you talking about, lenovo p70 is model from december 2014- january 2015 it is 2 years old model and rn2 is only 6 mont old.

My first neighbor has lenovo p70 purchased in a store in Europe with upgrade to android 5.1 , i can prove it with screenshot, and every one can find 5.1 roms for p70 on needrom site

So again stop lying..
[Redmi Note 2 General] Ceejay343:
Use Nova launcher, pay for Prime (pro version), it can make double tap any place on desktop is phone to standby/locked.

Global Miui 2.3.7.0 has buttons option in settings. Can set volume keys to wake up phone.

Also new Umi Super phone has vanilla Android 6 and has Helios 10 chip!
[Redmi Note 2 General] ufonek:
I have no reason to lie :) The phone started selling in February 2015.

http://www.gsmarena.com/lenovo_p70-7063.php

With the promise that soon gets 5.1. But the official statement from Lenovo Support CZ is that the phone is incompatible with 5.1. Additionally, 5.1 was released only in certain countries.
[Redmi Note 2 General] DarthJabba9:
I think you should calm down! Why are you so worked up? Everybody is entitled to express their honest opinions without being trolled. Even if you are Lenovo staff, you should not be so rude.:rolleyes:

[MENTION=5719128]ufonek[/MENTION] - if I were you, I would not even dignify this outburst with a response.
[Redmi Note 2 General] Skolotaie:
For me the RN2 is definitely the last Mtk based phone.

Is there even a single MTK baswd device wich jad a proper update roadmap?

Also the Horrible Gpu on our Redmi owch ?
[Redmi Note 2 General] acestars:
Agree with you, i think this is the last xiaomi phone for me.
[Redmi Note 2 General] IgorIgor84:
So what, Android 5 or 6 - it's all the same. I just want my phone works without any problem, and that is only possible with vova's AOSP rom. Miui is nice, but full of bugs.

Hope new version bring better user experience. I'll hear voice of the crowd, and than decide what to do.
[Redmi Note 2 General] gothed:
today is the release day for miui 8, let's wait and see.. is it gonna be MM? or stay in Lolipop? :D
[Redmi Note 2 General] RicardoMullion:
First miui 8 will based on lollipop

But after will update to marshmallow

I dont know when they update but they must will update this phone to 6.0

Sorry for my bad english
[Redmi Note 2 General] staleta:
This update will stay on android 5.0 with weekly update only on android 5.0 base.

they don't develop android 6.0 for this phone model.
[Redmi Note 2 General] sanceliken2000:
At least, if they aren't able to make android 6.0 for redmi note 2, they have to release the source in order custom roms rolling out. 5.0.2 isn't perfect we need more battery friendly roms.
[Redmi Note 2 General] KURT.Beadles:
Yes that's what I did. After years of using Chinese phones got tired of that somethings are always not working great. I understand Note 2 is cheap as a rats ass but got a great deal on a Xperia X5 Premium.

Boy what a difference it is. To many great things to mention and it burned my wallet a bit, but in the end it was well worth it.

You know what they're saying. "Buy quality, cry once". It's 100% true, unfortunately.

It will take a while before I go the Chinese Road again. Whether it may be a phone or a tablet.
[Redmi Note 2 General] snrk@4pda:
Excuse me, but what can't rom makers make MM? I mean, what sources are closed - xiaomi ot MTk?
[Redmi Note 2 General] RicardoMullion:
Mtk released sources already but Xiaomi doesn't released modified source with custom settings and drivers

Mtk source in imcomplete i compiled a kernel with mtk source already but some features not work after use the kernel compiled by myself

Sorry for my bad english
[Redmi Note 2 General] snrk@4pda:
Yes, i've seen the MTk sources, that's why i'm asking about it. What features don't work? RIL, Camera or smth? Is that critical? IMHO if someone actually will release even superalpha 6.0 mod for RN2, it will be repaired by the community in a short time.

Btw, where did you get sources?
[Redmi Note 2 General] wasd-:
Repaired how? If we don't have the drivers ...

That's why we have a bad camera on CM versions.
[Redmi Note 2 General] Jawor245:

[Redmi Note 2 General] nasko_spasko:
You buy Mediatek device, don't expect it to be open-sourced or well supported in the community, you buy it because it's cheap. Apart from this Marshmallow fiasco, I really like how MIUI8 works, I don't miss Android Marshmallow, Lollipop does the job just fine.

To give you the source code, manufacturers have to buy it from mediatek and give it to you as free product, that means greater price. Thats why HTC A9 for example has source code released and newer android version than the Redmi Note devices. It's more expensive device too.
[Redmi Note 2 General] veaceslav:
I am heavily disappointed with xiaomi. I am working with beacons, and I can't get normal Bluetooth scan on Android 5.0.

Android 5.1 works better, but then the battery does not last... I really don't need an extra skin, I need better Android version :((
[Redmi Note 2 General] coolwhisper43:
You are right

Dear Foxlife, you are right. redmi note2 the most popular phone of MI company and as far as i know; it sold more than 1,5 million after introduce it. If they won't update to android M this model, i never buy this brand again, too.
[Redmi Note 2 General] KURT.Beadles:
That's why I took a deep breath opened my wallet and bought myself a Sony Xperia Z5 Premium. I cried once but will never go back to a Chinese brand again which will make me cry every second day.
[Redmi Note 2 General] Foxlife:
I'm fighting with myself not to go with OP3, yes I know it's another "Chinese" but with unlocked bootloader and very strong support. At least it seems so so far.
[Redmi Note 2 General] vaselor:
I doubt Redmi Note 2 is the most popular phone of Xiaomi. Check out the Note 3, much better and nowadays more or less the same price. Oh, and it hasn't been replaced after 4 months like the 2 was.

[Redmi Note 2 General] kenryk:
Any news about Marshmallow? On xiaomi.eu's latest release it is mentioned that "Redmi Note 3 PRO (kenzo) stopped release, because of testing Android 6.0 version". I mean, really... at this rate, Android 8 will come out before we get Marshmallow. Lesson learned, will never buy a Xiaomi device again.
[Redmi Note 2 General] KURT.Beadles:
Come on. Do you still think that M will be available? I'm 100 % it will not. So just move on, unfortunately.
[Redmi Note 2 General] Foxlife:
Lately I came to the conclusion that when buying ~200$ phone you should not count on the update but rather use it to an extent and than buy new one (RN4?) At the end its still better (cheaper) than buying 600$ device and receive 1 update after 1 year. Little bit simplified description but you get the message.
[Redmi Note 2 General] gasperoni:
They should at least release source codes so we can have good custom roms.

There are so many useless cm roms every week sith another bug or bad camera.

Or they should at least make double tap to wake work. My hardware buttons are getting weaker because i have to use them so much to wake the phone.

Just because we spend less than 200 bucks it doesn't mean that they have to treat the customers like that and don't allow some features that even phones that cost 80 bucks have
[Redmi Note 2 General] KURT.Beadles:
Sorry, but can't agree with you. Bought a Sony Xperia Z5 Premium after four years with Chinese phones and have not regretted it for one minute. Still have some China phones to play around with.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] logger:
Hi Guys

I am brand new here so PLS excuse my ignorance. Actually took me a while to realise kaiser=TyTnII so I initially posted to the wrong area:(

I have just downloaded the above ROM in anticipation. I live in Australia and have a 3 account. My plan is to buy a new TyTnII that is unbranded as it is more cost effective for me. I want to convert it to 3 branded though, to use their network specific features like Planet3.

Is it simply a matter of connecting up the phone via activesync and running the installer to replace the ROM? I read briefly in these forums of turning phones into bricks. This procedure is safe to do right? Assuming I do not have a power failure and follow the instructions - is a reliable procedure? hate to stuff my brand new phone.

Once I have the 3 ROM loaded successfully am I correct to assume my warranty would be void?

Cheers.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] logger:
I now realise my first post was too naive to elicit a response. Have since read a lot more around here, so I understand a little bit more.

Thomassster, When you say "same OS nothing new" do you mean the OS is bog standard HTC with no add on "3" software package in it? or do you mean the OS is bog standard with nothing new but the ROM does include "3" custom apps?

Just that my aim is to switch from HTC rom to a "3" packaged one to get access to the "3" network specific features. Specifically Planet3.

So I just want to query that statement, because there would be no benefit in me loading it, if it does not include "3" customisation.

Thnx

Logger.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] potatophone:
I'm just bumping this because I was planning on doing exactly what logger described - buying an unbranded TyTn II and flashing it with a 3 ROM, so I also need to know if it's possible.
