Just got this phone after some years off android and I find myself being confused by so many terms. Would love to start flashing roms like I did 5yrs ago.

Can I know the process to follow? (already unlocked my bootloader)

Thanks in advance
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] ridersam:
you can use xiaomi tool kit (search on google) to flash any custom recovery. then flash a good rom (currently miui 10 is best for me.) flash magisk if you want root stuffs or go with flashing lazy flasher after miui rom. reboot, done!

Hi [MENTION=7053575]ridersam[/MENTION]

Need some advices from you. I am interested in installing Custom Rom on my Redmi 5 Plus. The one I am referring to is Android P Vince (already got hold of the step by step instructions). My concerns :-

1. Waiting to unlock my bootloader in the next few days (Redmi 5 Plus) with root too and to install Red Wolf Recovery (fastboot to install the standard twrp). The default is OrangeFox-R6-Beta-vince.zip recovery

2. From standard twrp to flash Red Wolf Recovery instead of OrangeFox recovery. Can I do that?

3. Going to install Android P Vince custom rom in Redmi 5 Plus (serial of steps instruction from the devs). Done and reboot as my daily driver.

4. Can this Red Wolf Recovery be used like normal twrp recovery for other custom rom or backup and/or restore not only Redmi 5 Plus?

5. Through fastboot I can also install Red Wolf Recovery, right! Do I have to rename the file like recover.img rather the actual name RedWolf-Unofficial-vince-2.img? Another method to install recovery.

Thank you

[ASK] [MIUI 10] Install unknown sources apk

I've installed MIUI 10 via updater app today, following a factory reset from MIUI 9.6.4. I didn't use fastboot method bcs I'm just lazy lol.

Today i tried installing Sony Music App apk which I had on my previous MIUI.

After finished installing, the screen says "App not installed"

Any idea how to work around this? The install permission setting of unknown sources is confusing as you need to allow each app you would like to open apk from. And no, this is not because screen filter app which restricts you from pressing the install button, I don't use such app and i get to press the install button.

Then i tried enabling it from all my file explorer app, even manually enabling the PackageInstaller system app to install from unknown sources. The problem persisted so i try downloading other apk from another mirror site, and nothing is working.

I'm currently on the 8.8 update of MIUI 10.

Help appreciated.

Both works on havoc 2.2 simultaneously. But not all feature can be used on miui camera.

Orange fox is by far the best recovery, twrp is mix bag, and redwolf is totally pain. Choose wisely.

Common problem with twrp. I would recommend orange fox recover for you.

---------- Post added at 03:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:47 AM ----------

Make sure the rom you're flashing actually support f2fs. If it does then use orange fox recovery to convert partition to f2fs. If you got encryption problem use dm-verity feature of orange fox recovery.

My device bootloader is unlocked already.

It's currently on MIUI 10.0.4.0.

Will be possible to just use the "Choose Update Package" in Updater app in About Phone to downgrade to latest stable of MIUI 9?

btw, I manage to do this method above in Redmi 4X in a locked bootlader with a breeze, switching back and forth with MIUI Roms.

Will it be the same in Redmi 5 plus?

Thanks.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] SubwayChamp:
It's not allowed to downgrade via official Updater app but if you have boatloader unlocked better install TWRP, take backup and then flash it through it. The problem is not a device versus other but actually downgrade process has more restrictions.

Hi I'm new to the forums and just bought an unlocked redmi 5 plus and tried to root it but I think I soft bricked it after going into twrp (also forgot to put magisk in it before installing) and now it's stuck on the logo screen. I tried the two point method and downloaded a bunch of vince roms but when I use MiFlash, it gets stuck and says "Class not registered". I tried putting it in C:\ and desktop and adminstrator mode.

I don't know where else you can get the fastboot files! You have to open the site in desktop mode, then find your phone's fastboot file.

These are global versions obviously!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] SubwayChamp:
There is no such thing for Redmi 5 Plus I mean R5P/R5+ doesn´t have a dedicated firmware for the Indian version, main difference is just the name that it received but the hardware is the same that the corresponding device released for other parts of the world.

At this site you will find all the versions available (not all the released) and there are three; global, chinese and russian firmwares https://androidfilebox.com/rom/redmi-5-plus-miui-rom/

First of all check correctly which model your device is, if it is Vince or Whyred, if your device is Vince then go for the Global version that is for you, check with the build number where you actually are and go for the desired.

The solution may depend on what you did prior to this happened, if you are rooted, unlocked bootloader, if you tried to flash some custom ROM and device didn't boot, the most info you can give here also may help to others to point you in the right direction.

thank you for your concern

i was playing a game and my phone get hot. i try to restart it and stuck on mi logo. didnt do anything else.

the answer to the next questions is "i don't know". my phone is a global version , i get every update xiaomi sent me, and i never did anything else behind the oficcial rom. i never try to root or flash anything until now.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] SubwayChamp:
OK, then you are on stock ROM, not rooted nor bootloader unlocked. The first you can try is by formatting data through stock recovery (this will wipe your data), power off device pressing the three buttons simultaneously, then quickly press just volume up + pwr buttons, when you feel a vibration and the logo appears just a second release pwr button and keep pressing volume up till you see a menu with three options, apply erase/format data and see if it reboots.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] SubwayChamp:
Try these things:

Check if you flashed before some ROM that didn't pass Google verification.

Wipe all of your internal memory, some Google apps could be keeping some traces from old installations.

Format data.

If nothing works flash the stock ROM and start from there again.
