[Redmi 7A ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Develo] m2b15w:
Ok.. hi to everybody!

again.. u all please forgive my english and, again, so many thanks to M47Z. your deductions were just brilliant and resolutive.

than again I can't post link, but I'll do my best to be clear and usefull. I'm also going to give some rating about mokee os.. even if I've not been asked to.

first I don't know what my model number is nor how to find out. if M47Z will teach me.. I'll post the results.

What I'm sure of it's that I bought it in italy, it is the 2gbram 16 GB rom version, it was origially shipped with V10.2.5.0.PCMEUXM miui version ( than updated to 11.06) and that I've "miflashed" the pine_eea_global_images_V10.2.5.0.PCMEUXM_20190801.0000.00_9.0_eea fastboot version of miui to solve the camera+torch problem. download it from the kindly provided link in M47Z's post.

The twrp version I use (and like best) it's TWRP 3.3.1-1003 LRTeam that u can get from here. hxxps://xdaforums.com/redmi-7a/how-to/custom-gsi-firmware-t3965820.

So, in my case That's what I did:

1. miflashed pine_eea_global_images_V10.2.5.0.PCMEUXM_20190801.0000.00_9.0_eea fastboot version (first fastboot EU version in M47Z's post, but if u r on an iternational version u might have to miflash the second link fastboot version). advanced, flashall.bat.

2. isert sim, login to xiaomi, access development option and activate all the debug options.

3. reload to fastboot, connect to pc and flash recovery. told u which one I've used but I'm absolutely sure the one mirrored from M47Z will work the same.

4.load to sd card or from usb otg the mokee zip plus the su addon (hxxps://download.mokeedev.com/pine.hxml) + gapps if u need them (facial recogition from nano pakage upwards)

5.fastboot reload bootloader while pressing power+volume_up to acces twrp recovery.

6.from twrp Wipe — Advanced Wipe — Select: Dalvik/art、Data、Cache、System.

7.back, install, select mokee rom, add more zips, SU_addon from mokee site (hxxps://download.mokeedev.com/pine.hxml) and gapps.

8.wipe cash and dalvik and reboot to system

That was it for me (no gapps for me and whatsapp plus and clash of clans work the same.. but no facial recognition obviously..)

I'd suggest to download mokee zip since 13/11 versiom upward cause it has november security patch.

If something is not clear enough ask.. I'll do my best and I'm sure M47Z will teach us something else.

about the rom..

they ask something like 5 euros to download delta updates.

about ten to download verified_by;user delta updates.

i point this out not for the money at all.. it's a little money and they deserve support. but, on their site (and op) they wrote a long bla bla bla about chinese people not understandig about offering money support.. than they ask for money. plus, coming from a oneplus one officially supported by los, I've never had been asked for money to download delta updates.

three apps are hardcoded into the mod and can not be uninstalled (so far):

_aegis (battery manager)

_audioFX (same as in los realeases)

_bloody GBoard (attempts to use aosp keyboard from los ended up in aosp keybord keeps stopping).

about SeLinux disabled it might be linked to me having flashed permissiver_4 before or the rom might need no SeLinux to boot over miui. in any case there are two apks on xda which can easily solve that problem (without overwriting boot partitiion in case it is needed for the rom to boot): SeLinux mode changer, the Selinux switch. choose the one u prefer if u want to enforce security.

only problem left to solve, for me, it's magisk not working. I'm pretty sure it's linked to AVB2.0/Dmverity/encryption/boot partition but, given this one is my daily driver, don't feel like mess up everything again to find out.

all the rest is working beautifull and I've to admit that once rooted and off miui.. this is a great device for the money. I might buy the 3GB ram 64GB rom version in the next future.
