How can I shorten the unlocking wait? It's still on 439 hours/ 18 days and my sister is impatient for her phone!

It says it's possible here https://xdaforums.com/redmi-note-5/development/rom-lineageos-15-1-t3780298/post76304194#post76304194 but I don't understand the instructions:

"just make an account with a permission granted once again, after that, log out your miui account and log in again with the newest account that you have permission on it, after log in, DO NOT bind your account, just turn off your phone and go to fastboot and login to your newest account into miflash unlock, then continue unlock.."

That seems to say make a new Mi account (what does "with a permission granted" mean?), then log out of the old account on the phone and log in to the new account but don't bind the new account. What does "do not bind your account mean", as I'm sure you have to associate it with a phone number don't you? I had to put my SIM in my sister's phone as I don't think I could log in to MIUI without a SIM/phone number. Anyway, I have my account which currently doesn't have a phone number bound to it (as I bound that number to my sister's account) and if I try and use that in Mi Unlock instead of my sister's account it gives an error like "No phone number associated".

This method actually doesn´t work, I tried a month ago and Xiaomi reseted the time to others 720 hours, fortunately I got to bypass by saving my logs before to try and then changed the new logs for the older ones where they place them in pc and my time came bak to the normal wait.

No proven method by now to bypass this time and the worst is that is possible that Xiaomi extends the time passed the first 720 hours like happened to me; I´m waiting my second month.

Some users asked in other thread to users with unlocked bootloader do a simple and no risky backup of determined partitions to see if flashing them through EDL could unlock device but no one helped so by now the only we can do is to wait.

Xiaomi along the time improved the security about this and keeps all the data about device encrypted in its servers and just temporary information is stored in pc.

Hello, I have problems with flashing TWRP on my Vince. When trying to flash it using command "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" it fails due to anti-rollback "feature". I found advice to use "fastboot boot twrp.img" but after that it says OKAY but after that fastboot screen goes into mi screen (with unlocked sign in the bottom) and there it remains stuck and nothing. Only solution is hard restart after which the mi recovery stays. Thanks.

Check your model again so Redmi 5 Plus (Vince) doesn´t have ARB protection, for Whyred the procedure to flash TWRP is slightly different.

Hi, there.. I am new here and I am looking for some help...

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] SubwayChamp:
First try with this tool http://www.xiaomitool.com use advanced options to flash directly the desired zip and see if the tool flash the rom, I´m not sure cause the tool uses the same script that the recovery stock and through System update is not allowed.

If the latter doesn´t result then you can do it for sure through EDL mode without a problem, there´s many reference how to do it so.

Guy, anyone can help to install a PIE rom like AEX in my Vince... I got MIUI 10 right now with booloader unlocked.

Are these the steps?

1. Boot into fastboot, install this TWRP ? vince_treble_twrp-jay-port-v3 ?? > fastboot flash recovery vince_treble_twrp-jay-port-v3.img

2. While the phone is still in fastboot mode, press and hold the Volume Up and Power button until the TWRP Recovery screen shows up.

2. When TWRP is Booted Flash Noverify.zip (take this from miui forums)

3. Format DATA partition (are this erase my internal storage?? should I need to copy rom and gapps from PC??)

4. Once wiped, reboot recovery by going to ‘Reboot’ -> ‘Recovery’.

5. Flash ROM

6. Flash Gapps.

7. Reboot to System.

8. To root, reboot in recovery and flash latest magisk

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] SubwayChamp:
I did it from this way:

1. Extract recovery image in ADB folder in pc from Orange Fox Recovery latest version.

2. Renamed it the image as fox and flashed it throug fastboot by typing fastboot flash recovery fox.img.

3. No need to reboot to system, directly from same fastboot mode boot to this recovery by typing fastboot boot fox.img.

4. Then copy the zip onto your sdcard and flash it through recovery that will reboot again. (or you can sideload it directly from pc)

5. In Orange Fox enable DM-Verity, disable Force Encrypt

6. Flash the rom pie

7. Flash the Gapps

8. Flash Magisk v17.1 to root it (no need to reboot before to flash the Gapps)

9. Reboot normally to the system.

All the files needed you can copy them to your device previously but if you prefer you can sideload them from your pc without copy them.

When you unlocked bootloader at the first time that it rebooted to system then your data will gone but by using DM-Verity feature in builded in Orange Fox recovery your new data if you have will stay there.

If you prefer TWRP just change the correspondent items and flash DM-verity for R5+

Just asking... i got an orengefox.zip file to flash inside TWRP.... if TWRP is unable to mount /data... what happens if I flash that orangefox zip file ???

And other question.. there is an IMG file for orangefox ?... and flashing with fastboot method... I need to format /data .. will be lost all data probably ??
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] SubwayChamp:
Depending on what you did before is possible that you need to do a format data in order to set partition readable for TWRP again.

If you´re going to use Orange Fox just extract recovery image and flash it through fastboot then boot using command to Orange Fox, then flash the zip through the same recovery, this is so the zip and its tool can be unpacked in your sdcard (optional you can just simply put Fox folder from the zip onto your sdcard instead of flash, I did so) (DarthJabba9 could confirm this)

Yes, formatting data you will lost all.

I did a guide here how to install Orange Fox after to unlock bootoloader without lost data in guides section.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] foxmonter:
OK, so u says...extracting the img file from the zip file... enter into fastboot, flash the img... reboot to recovery (orangefox) and flash the same orangefox zip file... then ? install magisk ? with no reboot...

In orange there is an option for the verify data ??
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] SubwayChamp:
Actually you have many ways to flash it, I don´t want to confuse you, these are the ways (and even more):

1.- If your TWRP actually is not capable of read from data then you can flash the zip of OrangeFox recovery directly via adb sideload from TWRP, then reboot directly to recovery via command.

2.- Extract recovery image from the zip and flash it through fastboot, reboot to recovery and then flash the zip (it will reboot to recovery again by itself)

3.- Extract all the OrangeFox recovery in your pc, copy Fox folder onto your device in main directory, copy recovery image inside ADB folder on your pc and flash it through fastboot, reboot to recovery and no need to flash it again so the tools from it will be in the right folder onto your device (that you copied before)

OrangeFox recovery has option to disable verity files and avoid encryption, you just check it once and ever it is setted. This will be used anytime that you flash anything but if you comeback from custom AOSP and similar roms to any miui rom you have to format data in order to reboot but in all the other cases enabling this option you won´t need to format data.

Redmi 5 is a totally different device of 5,7" I guess you meant Redmi 5 Plus or Redmi Note 5 (also called Pro).

A single camera: Redmi 5 Plus

Dual cameras: Redmi Note 5 (Pro) also you can see that it has a snapdragon 636.

Root or not is a generic question not only applicable for this device so you´ll find a lot of opinions all over the net. Rooting is a way to can do more things with your device but you can lost some features only present in stock rom from the manufacturer by flashing other different rom for eg. I didn´t find a custom rom with the stability and battery backup same at the stock miui but I need restore data from some apps so rooting is the better method. My preferences can differ with yours so the better finally will be to try by your own.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] SubwayChamp:
What I meant is that you´ll find more valuable information than here about root or not by reading some article from the lot of them available in the net by i.e this https://www.androidpit.com/root-android so is a general question regarding any android device, of course some manufacturers have their specifics pros and cons like Samsung with Knox, Sony with DRM, and more or less any of them lose some features only present in stock rom by changing the firmware.

This is the way I did it:

First installing a custom recovery like this the better for me https://xdaforums.com/redmi-note-5/development/official-orangefox-recovery-project-t3807479

If you want a most permissive rom but keeping all the features of miui you can install a custom rom based on stock miui like this, for me the most stable actually https://mi-globe.com/rom-builder/ choose your model and in advanced features you can add or delete some apps/mods, in these you can choose pre-root it with Magisk v17.1 (stable)

My guess: wrong forums. Vince (Redmi 5 Plus) does NOT have antirollback.

Instead, Whyred (Redmi Note 5) does have ARB.

This forums are for Vince not for Whyred.

(In India, Redmi 5 plus is sold as Redmi note 5, while Redmi Note 5 is sold as Redmi Note 5 pro, this is endless cause for confusion)

To understand what phone you have check the cameras in the back: one on top of fingerprint sensor? You have Vince. Instead, if it is horizontal on the side of the sensor, you have Whyred and this is wrong forums.

You know exactly what you going to do

i'm personally recommended don't rename let those named as devs-files. exception:

Assume it was your (PC else phone storage folder tree)

/this/one/for/device-series/yourfile.extension

or

/this/folder/recovery/twrp-[RedWolf]-Orange/yourfile.extension

dummy.img file for vince

Hey I am looking for dummy.img file for vince for the purpose of installing a custom ROM on my device. Looking around in the internet, people suggest flashing dummy.img to bypass antirollback feature. A simple google search did not lead to anywhere. I hope any of you could point me to the file and hopefully a guide to install custom ROM on vince.

My device's bootloader has already been unlocked. I tried to install TWRP recovery with the command fastboot flash recovery twrp.img. It installs fine and boots into it by pressing volume up and power button. Once I reboot TWRP is getting replaced by MIUI's recovery. Oh BTW I have MIUI 10.

Thanks
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] SubwayChamp:
Vince doesn´t have ARB protection so no need to flash a dummy.img to bypass it.

Check again your model, a quick way to make sure of your model is that Vince has just one camera on the back and Whyred has two cameras.

In the case that your model is Whyred most likely you need to read this https://xdaforums.com/redmi-note-5-pro/how-to/index-everything-anti-roll-t3816219

It looks that you have a device intended for China but the reseller flashed on it a fake global rom to can sell it out of China.

First of all check if your device is unlocked via fastboot commands.

in the case it is unlocked you can go to the next level doing what you want. But be careful if some day you can relock bootloader so this can brick your device.

In the case that your device is not unlocked you will get on troubles trying to unlock it staying in a fake rom so you need to flash first an official (chinese) rom.

It´s not recommendable try to flash a global official rom in the case that you have a chinese rom that only was covered for a fake global rom at least using official method cause this can brick your device.

But the safest way to flash the firmware that you want is using EDL method and then starts the process to unlock bootloader.

Hello. I just want to ask if anyone knows any way to transfer all files/settings and else to another ROM?

I am thinking about switching to Resurrection Remix and not sure yet if I can easily transfer all my data there so that I didn't need to set up everything from scratch. I'd appreciate any info, thanks!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] SubwayChamp:
Well, here there are three different things:

About files no better way that simply copying them to a safe place, but if you don´t think to format data better let them in your sdcard.

About data there is a good app that achieve this goal very fine, I´m currently using it; Migrate, you can backup all your apps, data (from apps) and permissions at once, it will do a zip and you can flash it in recovery in your new rom, then at reboot you can choose what restore and what don´t or simply restore all that you backed up before. This app will save you the 90% of the work by switching/migrate of roms. Of course you can expect some compatibility issues but nothing that can be solved.

About settings (of system) you can backup some of them using Titanium Backup but is not recommendable to restore all of them in other rom atleast this be extremely similar so it can present some issues. The best at this point is set up as a new device cause custom roms have more or less some differences about features and how they run.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] Pink Unicorn:
Thanks. I think I will use Titanium backup + built-in miui backup tools just for safety (backup for backup :D). I don't really care about system settings. I am too lazy to download all the apps again. And thanks to Nova Launcher another part is also easily transferred :D
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] SubwayChamp:
I never download again all the apps, to backup just the apks I use ESFile Explorer. In the same way if you want to restore all the apps in a batch you can use Migrate, by checking just the apk box and not data nor permissions boxes and then you can restore all of them in just a minute depending in how many apps you backed up before. About Nova launcher has a backup feature in-built and also with TB it can be restored completely.
