[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] OvaisAlam:
Apologies for a really noob question in advance.

Can I use the updated firmware on any custom ROM? Is it compatible with Paranoid Android Quartz 4 too?

If my custom ROM has Android 10, should I get the latest Android 10 firmware or Android 11 firmware can be flashed too?
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] NeoPreacher:
In general you should use a10 firmware for a10 ROMs and a11 firmware with a11&12 ROMs. Often it's advised in the threads OP which firmware to use (or in the latest announcement post), if latest beta or latest (or specific) stable for example. IMPORTANT: Never flash ginkgo over willow or vice versa ☝️. Cheers

[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Nobi:
Hello guys. I have a trouble with mi xiaomi. Is a Redmi Note 8. I update and use V12.0.6.0.QCOMIXM. Now i can't do it again because the new updater is V12.5.1.0.RCOMIXM. How can i do this? Change for V12.5.1.0.RCOMIXM???
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] NeoPreacher:
Update what kind of ROM? Q? R or S? For a Q rom you can still use V12.0.6.0.QCOMIXM and you should do so, since it's the latest stable and recommended global firmware for Q. V12.5.1.0.RCOMIXM is the latest global firmware to use with R and S roms. So the question is: what's the point here? Why shouldn't you be unable to flash the Q firmware back (when using a Q rom)?? PS: Region of firmware isn't important in the first place, but global seems to be most stable.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Nobi:
i have the Q. And want the R ROM. That's the question. How to do the change
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Nobi:
I use the global sable ROM
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] NeoPreacher:
Simple, if nothing else is recommended by devs a Q rom needs latest stable Q firmware, R and S latest stable R firmware. You can always switch back if you want ( eg r to q ) and flash the corresponding firmware even if older or for another Region. But remember to always look out for the recommendations in the roms corresponding threads

Hi! Does anyone have any idea why am I getting this "Zip signature verification failed" error when trying to flash this firmware for Redmi Note 8T?
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] BeriCud:
Hmm that's weird, try downloading the file and then flashing again. Yesterday I flashed this firmware without any problems.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] keyless:
Yeah weird. I tried multiple times already and just tried again but same error. Should I uncheck zip signature verification or is there another way to flash?
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] American_Jesus:
On the PC download the firmware and check the MD5Sum with OpenHasTab https://github.com/namazso/OpenHashTab/releases/tag/v3.0.1

If its correct transfer to the phone and install.

Don't install if the MD5sum isn't correct
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] yshalsager:
You should do.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] keyless:
I just tried that and it shows the correct MD5sum but still getting the same error when trying to flash. Thanks for help anyway. I don't even know what to do anymore... I guess I'm stuck with V12.0.3.0. for now :(
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] NeoPreacher:
Did you already uncheck signature verification (as the OP recommended, option is afaik unchecked by default when flashing recovery)? Or maybe tried another recovery? I see no logical reason why it should stay like this. And zip checksum is correct, that proofs you can safely uncheck the option for flashing this. Cheers
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] x3r0.13urn:
Update your recovery to latest official twrp or official orangefox
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] keyless:
Wow thanks a lot! This actually worked or at least i didn't get any errors. And I don't know if it was because of updating the recovery or skipping the zip signature verification but the whole update took like a couple of seconds or so. Is it normal that the firmware update goes so fast? I can't find the firmware version in Arrow OS so I can't tell for sure if the firmware update actually went through or not
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] NeoPreacher:
Yes it's pretty fast. A few lines with names of packages that been installed scrolling down while installing and that's it. Glad it finally worked 💪
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Uluru25:
Read the very first post here to see if you updated the fw:

How to check the updated firmware?

Usually, the modem gets updated with newer firmware, you can check it in Settings > About > Baseband.

Usually this info is changed after an fw update.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] keyless:
Yeah I forgot to mention. I've seen the first post and checked the Baseband but it doesn't say anything or at least I'm too dumb to understand it. But like @NeoPreacher said, the update process goes fast so it probably went through.

Thanks everyone for help 💪

I do appreciate your incredible service so much - thank you!

One question: is there any way to check which exact fw version is currently flashed in a device? I know that the baseband version (e. g.1-00270-NICOBAR_GEN_PACK-1.433714.1.435199.1) is a kind of a fingerprint for the fw flashed but how could one conclude from this or similar info the fw version?
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] yshalsager:
The only way is to compare modem ver_info file if it exists inside non-hlos file in firmware package, otherwise by searching for that version string in firmware files, there is no easy way unfortunately.

Does it work in Miui Stock Roms?

I have Ginko Stock Miui Global V12.5.5.0 RCOEUXM with unlocked bootloader, Magisk rooted and TWRP. When i updated with last zip in TWRP it boots normally and Miui Version doesn't change to V12.5.7.0.

What did i wrong?
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] MichaelMix:
Yeah it does work. However this is the base firmware. It's like the BIOS on a computer, it updates just that, nothing else.

If you want the entire ROM flashable by either TWRP or fastboot it's available on the same site.

You shouldn't just randomly upgrade your firmware without updating the accompanying user level drivers so unless the ROM you are using has vendor updates from this release you shouldn't flash it at all.

Custom ROMs are based on a specific set of vendor that your firmware should correspond to and it's stated what firmware is recommended. For MIUI that firmware is ALWAYS the one that comes with that ROM.

https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/ginkgo/ Find your ROM there, if you're using the recovery flashable version then also flash the firmware with the same version. If you are using the fastboot version it contains the firmware as is and you don't have to flash anything else.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Tonitoni1:
Not exactly. When i receive an OTA in stock Miui, version changes to the OTA version.

I flashed from V12.5.5.0 RCOEUXM to V12.5.7.0.RCOEUXM so i must see last V12.5.7.0.RCOEUXM in Miui Version after reboot. But it shows V12.5.5.0 RCOEUXM. So i think TWRP flashing didn't work or something doesn't work. These updates only work on custom Roms?? Because mine is Ginko Stock Miui Global V12.5.5.0 RCOEUXM with unlocked bootloader, Magisk rooted and TWRP.

Hi,

Is there any use flashing the last version of vendor? I mean, is it worth the hassle or reinstalling everything that would be wiped?

And I am still puzzled about the difference between the EU and Global version. I don't know which one was on my ginkgo with LOS 18.1, and I have flashed the EU version without trouble...

Thank you for clarifying these.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Uluru25:
If everything runs smooth, there is no need to update the fw. If switching to a different rom (or to a different android version of the same rom), check the recommendations of the dev. My personal experience is, that "global" fw-versions run fine, I had some issues when trying "europe" (e. g. sim-card was no longer detected). Thus, I flashed "global" and everything was fine again. One more recommendation: write down or note the filename of the fw you have flashed since it is not easy to retrieve this info later (in case you later flashed a fw that did not work and you want to reflash the fw that worked before). Furthermore, flashing a fw doesn't need any reinstallings or wiping etc.

Thanks, so, to summarize about the firmware: we can try different ones and revert easily if there is a problem.

Do you have experience with flashing a vendor update? https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/vendor/ginkgo/

I cannot find other sources of information about this.

For my understanding (but maybe I am completely wrong) a vendor update will update the vendor software pre-installed in the stock rom MIUI (for me: bloatware). If you are on a different = custom rom (like LOS or CrDroid) you don't need such a vendor update - at least I never did so and missed nothing. If you update the custom rom, all needed files will be updated.

But 8T is willow.

Besides, what you linked is for Android 11. Even the stable crDroid is Android 12.

There might be one last update for willow too.

Or maybe MIUI 13 with Android 11, since we have some of it running on other devices. Though, I'm not fond of MIUI, if they really release it, my hats off them.

any news on willow firmware? last one was in july
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Uluru25:
I guess there won't be further updates (but who knows). Why do you need an update? Anything not working with the latest fw?
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] gothmog123:
Aren't FW updates important for security?
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Uluru25:
Maybe (but never heard this). If so, I wonder why they are then so rare (compared to rom updates, which are very frequent and routinely address security issues acc. to the changelog). If my system runs stable, I don't change the fw. I do so only if after changing to a different rom I observe issues. As mentioned, this is my pov. Other opinions/comments are welcome.
