Fortnite is not officially available for our device. So the user was probably using some hacked version and does not say where he got it. So who knows what actually was installed in the attempt.

Hi mate! Im bit confused. After flashing TWRP, I boot into twrp (also using fastboot command) and than, to keep twrp do I need to reflash twrp from twrp?

Finally. I before flashing another rom, do I need to flash lazy flasher? Read about lazy flasher, but not sure for what porpouse do I need to flash it!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] BiosCZ:

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] wankirov:
after the latest update global miui 9.5.19. my root was reset thus gcam is not working due to hal3 isn't enable.

i try to flash twrp into my phone. but being block by arb. so i didn't use dummy. img command, n continue to boot twrp into my phone. however i didn't know that the mi would replace the custom recovery. and after that i wanted to install it again but failed to do it so, because fastboot command stuck at "fastboot boot twrp.img"
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] BiosCZ:
Maybe its possible that it burned his SoC or something.

And why? Its magic of android community. Like Android P DP. They aren´t for whyred but somebody made it possible :)

If someone has currently installed 8.7.5 then he can install the version 8.7.12 from xiaomi.eu. They removed the firmware-update folder. There is no firmware update - antirollback remains in version 3 ;)

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SunilSuni:
Guys what do you say about this official statement from xiaomi

Global Stable ROM

1. If you are on Stable ROM V 9.5.19 (It will be released soon) or ROM above, you can flash all Stable ROMs after V 9.5.19 (including V 9.5.19), but you can not flash your device to Stable ROM V9.5.17 or ROM previously. (http://en.miui.com/thread-3156438-1-1.html)

they said you can flash all the stable build after 9.15.19, does this mean we can rollback from antirollback build to previously enabled antirollback build..

I know this has been answered but still their official statement says we can flash all builds from 9.5.19 build onwards but we cannot flash 9.5.17 build and earlier builds
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] TheDevFreak:
Thanks for this post, there is just a couple things I'd like cleared up.

I'm going to be buying this phone (global edition) very soon.

Once I get it I will

1. Bind account for unlock

2. Attempt unlock just incase, otherwise wait 2 weeks for the ability to unlock

3. Update to latest miui (stable, that the phone lets me)

4. Unlock after the wait, if I have to.

5. Flash twrp and lineageos (since official LOS is soon)

Any flaws in my method any thing I should do differently or add or remove?

Thanks!

at first i didn't know about it. but i tried for 2nd time, this time i use dummy command. however i don't know why, the command window stuck. it seem that my whyred or arb still interfering the command, like it prevent me to overwrite/flash dummy into the phone. Thus, i couldn't proceed to boot twrp. huhuhu, I'm hopeless, i want my gcam so badly. Maybe i shouldn't update first before read some reviews on the latest update.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] otonieru:
You do :

fastboot flash antirbpass dummy.img

right ?

it stuck when you did that ? What is the error ? Or the CMD just hung?

Restart your phone, and put it back to fastboot mode, and now do the dummy command right after you connected the phone in fastboot mode,

If it successful, flash recovery right away

[MENTION=3483085]sauliiin[/MENTION] You had 15 days while waiting for unlock to read and research, why are you suddenly panicking now?

Lazyflasher is required for your device to boot while using MIUI and Official TWRP together.

Start here, but also read the rest of the wiki, plus the OP here and any other custom rom thread you intend to flash.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] sauliiin:
LOL... I have just read the same on 4xpa for another guy, but russian people are more angry and even have a lot of more angry emoji!

Im not panicking, mate. Im not lazy, I'm not nobby and I have read a lot, but since ARB4, there is a lot of wrong or incomplete information out there and people here are not being really helpful. I see those same questions over and over and everywhere. Hope now I can help someone.

Miui is a new world to me and different from any Android device I had.

Anyway! Thanks
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] rajumack07:
If you are on ARB3 rom then after flashing from fastboot and then booting to TWRP, you dont need flash it from recovery again as TWRP is now permanent. But if you're in ARB4, you should boot into TWRP from fastboot and then flash the TWRP image from the recovery to make it permanent. Both the steps are required when for the first time you want to have TWRP in miui rom after unlocking. After that, if you want to reboot to miui instead of flashing custom rom you need to flash the lazy flasher so that miui won't override twrp with Miui recovery. Lazy flasher is required every time you update your miui rom
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] corkiejp:
Not to nit-pick, but that is incorrect.

Lazyflasher disables dm-verity allowing MIUI to boot. Without it the device would not boot.

Booting to TWRP at least once before booting system prevents the system from replacing with stock recovery.

Thanks....
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dlghowk:
I guess...?

If you are on anti 3 and you want to go to the newest version of MIUI, nothing would happen because it is going to flash the newest firmware (Which is anti 4)

If you are already on anti 4 not flash any firmware that has any kind of relation with anti 3 or otherwise you'll brick your device.

Also, it doesn't matter if you are flashing it from Miflash or fastboot (As I know, newest versions of MiFlash doesn't allow you to flash older versions of MIUI) Both have the same result.

Correct me if I'm wrong!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] lmbora2009:

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dlghowk:
I don't think that something is going to happen (except losing data) since all the newest versions of MIUI (9.5.19.0 and 8.7.6 are the first ones with anti 4) are already anti 4. However, if you're unsure you can flash some of the fw-less versions from [MENTION=4648515]AL_IRAQI[/MENTION]

And if something happens the only thing that you would have is asking for EDL flash in MIUI forums... and wait until you get permission from admins.

Just don't flash any firmware related to 9.5.17.0/8.7.5 or older and you will be fine.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] kostas gp:
No, there will be no problem with this. Just make sure that your anti is 3(I know that 9.2.13 is anti3 but I like to be extra careful with that) by typing the command fastboot getvar anti. RR doesn't contain any firmware files to be worried but you can do that for future flashes.

It is your decision, just don't flash any firmware update related to anti 3 and you should be fine.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dlghowk:
Yes.

Don't flash an older version of firmware, that is what triggers the ARB protection

Before check your anti version with:

fasboot getvar anti

If you have 3 don't flash firmware from 9.5.19.0/8.7.6 or later if you want to stay on anti 3

If you get anti 4 don't flash firmware related to anti 3 like 9.5.17.0/8.7.5 or older, because is going to brick the device.

Also, if you want to be sure, check the zip file of the ROM to be sure that it doesn't have a firmware update folder (As I know only MIUI includes that)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] fashionbusiness:
Hi, I'm trying to understand the ARB problem, but I have some questions about.

I've a whyred with global stable miui 9.6.3.0, so, probably I'm an ARB4, right?

After that, if I unlock my bootloader and install a custom recovery, I shouldn't have any problem?

And if I flash, for example, a custom rom, can I come back to miui, flashing from the recovery (after wiping evetithing) the latest miui version? will it cause any problem (for example, lose recovery, brick my phone,...)?

Sorry for my questions, but I had a kenzo and the procedures were extremely more easy
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SunilSuni:
You can install custom recovery you can install custom ROM and then return back to latest miui ROM.

Don't flash any firmware file ( for custom ROM)

Triggered from RN5pro
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] fashionbusiness:
Perfect, it seems less difficult than I thought.

Just another question, you said that I must not flash any firmware. But the firmwares you talk about are included in the zip file of the rom or are the firmware you found here (zip file)?

Sorry if the question is not clear, but I don't know how to explain my doubt.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SunilSuni:
Custom ROM doesn't include firmware files (but some developers recommend to flash firmware file)

Since you are already in latest miui version you don't have to flash firmware file recommended by custom ROM developers

Here firmware file contains bootloader related stuff ( don't flash any firmware as you using anti4 enabled miui ROM)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] fashionbusiness:
Perfect, you solved my problems.

Finally, if in the future I'd like to flash a newer firmware, there will not be any problem, right?

(As I have understood, the only problem is install something older like miui version or firmware)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SunilSuni:
But make sure newer firmware has anit4 version or anti5 (future release)

You shouldn't flash firmware file which has anti3 version. That's all the thing you have to remember

If Xiaomi introduce anti5 in their ROM then we cannot rollback to anti4 enabled ROM
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] fashionbusiness:
[YOUTUBE][/YOUTUBE]

Perfect, understood.

So, if the custom roms have no firmware and if I always flash the latest miui version, I will not have any trouble.

I swear that it will be my.last question: if I download a firmware, where I can find which anti version is?

Thanks for your kindness and support!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SunilSuni:
Custom ROM developers will mention firmware file version( version will be based on global miui beta ROM)

Anything above 8.7.6 (including 8.7.6) version is anti4 enabled firmware
