[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Muad.Dib:
Hey,

Before going any further you first need to make sure what region is your phone. Is it a Chinese phone (bought from AliExpress for example) or a real Global phone (bought from a local store/official retail). Because you could very well own a Chinese phone shipped with a Global Rom flashed on it and this could result in some problems for you in terms of what you can do with it and how you can do it.

If you bought/received a phone with already unlocked bootloader, you should return it.

Unlocking bootloader should only be done by you when you need it.

1. Technically unlocking bootloader, ESSENTIAL step prior flashing anything, void your warranty.

However and that's what is interesting, if at some point you decide to flash back your original region rom (here Global) and lock back bootloader, none will know but Xiaomi servers you once unlocked this device certainly not a local reseller. So in term of warranty you should be safe, that is of course unless you brick your phone doing stuff you were not supposed to do with a locked bootloader if you are following.

2. If not mistaking, I think you loose NFC. Indian phones for sure do not have NFC at all, for their version, the chip was replaced with a 2nd SIM card tray (not shared). Not sure if you read the functionality afterward using rooted tricks.

3. No that does not work this way. When you are running a Rom, any version, if you factory reset that room, you just return to installation screen of that given Rom.

To return to Global Rom, you will need to reflash that Global Rom using the same method you did successfully flashing the Indonesian Rom (or any other rom) for example.

Would be wise to first download the exact version of the Rom you are currently using on your phone for archives purpose (BURN IT on good quality medias!) to revert back to it when/if needed. You can also archives OTA updates of that version you may not have taken yet to apply them manually if you ever revert back to that Global Rom and want to.

4. Different versions depends on what you are doing. In your case Fastboot version is what you need at the moment. You can find all different kind of versions of Roms for your RN8PRO on that site

As for the way to flash them, order and everything, you will need to look for guides online,

I dont think any order matters, just make sure to flash them all before rebooting disconnecting device. But if you are unsure of what you are doing, you'd be probably best using a tool such as MiFlash.

5. Here you can find one from the MIUI community website guiding you through the use of MiFlash to flash a stock Rom on your device.

Just note you do not have to use any tools to flash the .images of all partitions, you can easily doing it from command line using fastboot flash command one after an other.

Also note that installing TWRP is usually not needed to flash stock Roms (unlike flashing custom roms). Trying to mess up with the recovery partition is actually what seem to brick most of the devices.

However please note UNLOCKING your BOOTLOADER is MENDATORY.

Hope this helps.

I have got global version and changed imei with unlocked bootloader. Can i flash indonesian rom without lose f my imei?

Thanks in advance for your answers

Muad.Dib,

Thanks for your detailed reply.

If I understand correctly, unlocking the bootloader voids the warranty just the same as rooting the phone, so if all I want is to get call recording, I may as well just root the phone and save the bother of flashing a different ROM.

Does that make sense to you, or do you see any advantage to flashing a different stock ROM instead of just rooting the phone? From past experience I've seen that rooting has additional benefits anyway.

BTW, I bought my phone on Banggood. It was advertised as Global ROM, and that appears to be what it has. As soon as I turned the phone on it updated to MIUI Global 11.0.2.1; I don't know what version it was before the update.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] yossidme:
Did you check if NFC works with Indonesian ROM?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Muad.Dib:
You're welcome, I am happy if I was useful to you in any kind of ways.

Well yes and no. Yes apparently you 'could' achieve call recording when rooted (yet I still fail doing so even if I installed the default MUI apps module I got from Telegram group. The setting to automatic recording is set to on yes, but I dont see recordings in the supposed destination folder nor I can see a simple button to record any voicecall I used to have on older versions of Android. Me failing to make it work - I did not try very hard to be honest - does not mean you cannot find someone who succeeded into doing so in that telegram group for RN8PRO).

That said it would not be a 'native' solution, just a patch/workaround. If it works well great, if not, well...

On an other hand by flashing to a Rom which does support it natively, well you are covered for the use you need.

So the advantage I see (with the included disadvantages) is better support for the function which is not supported for privacy reasons en Glob/EU market.

Does that come at a price?

Probably.

For example are you ready to trade off NFC for native call recording support? That may be a choice you have to make in the end. Again that said, if you root your phone on that new Rom, install NFC drivers manually as root (I see no reasons why that would not be possible after all) you may be able to patch NFC on that other Rom since unlike Indonesians market phone, you do have NFC hardware.

For example, myself, I wish I could have made that kind of bargain/trade off, giving up that NFC feature I have no need for, to get 8GB or Ram + 2x Sims + SD and not an hybrid tray. Unfortunately that's not the kind of trade I could make here in EU unless I would have ordered directly from Amazon.in (assuming that would have been possible) or third party website, but that was not possible for warranty reasons among other things.

Hope this helps.

UPDATE:

I finally had the time to test the MIUI-default-apps Magisk module available for download on Telegram group, originally made for MIUI 11.0.1.0, and it works properly on MIUI 11.0.2.0 EEA. Does not require changing Rom.

Hope this helps.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] yossidme:
Well, I have finally started the process, but got stymied by the Bootloader Unlock tool (Couldn't unlock. Please unlock 168 hours later.). Quite frustrating. I see that a lot of people have this problem and had to try again more than once, waiting a week between attempts.

Is there a workaround or do I just have to wait a week and hope for the best?

Also, assuming all goes well and I eventually manage to unlock the bootloader and flash the Indonesia ROM, do I use the same tool to re-lock the bootloader (in order to restore the security of the phone)?

And if I want to unlock again in the future, will I again possibly get the "wait and try again next week" message, or does that only happen the first time?

Thanks.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Muad.Dib:
No workaround, you just have to wait (and yes I know how freaking frustrating it was for me...). You can even start meditation classes meanwhile it helps :p

It depends on what your the flavor of the phone you got. You may want to have a look at that other thread Relock bootloader after flashing ROM Indonesia where we actually covered this exact subject ;)

The good thing about that 7 days wait period is you can gather all the intel you need to be 100% ready when the time come to seriously mess up with things.

So you know, once your bootloader is unlocked, first thing you will want to do BEFORE anything else, is blow off that security which needed Auth Account to unbrick account (ONLY WORKS FOR PIE, ANDROID 9 MIUI VERSION BEWARE).

All information is here: [GUIDE][INFO][PSA] Redmi Note 8 Pro - Megathread

The waiting time is for one time only (THANKS GOD!).

So if you relock, beside having to get your hands on the unlock tool once again and have added the same infos as for the first time in the phone, you will be able to unlock right away.

That's at least a good news :p

Hope this helps,

My friend,

Would you like be so kind and share that magisk module with others or maybe just indicate the spot where I can get it? I would love to try this out. THX
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Muad.Dib:
Yes of course.

It is a module you can find on the Telegram group called "Redmi Note 8 Pro | OFFICIAL".

Like me you will have to go in there even if you do not use Telegram.

Once there and you got the /notes it is called the default apps.

I cannot share it myself here because I am not the developer of that module, as you can understand that's against forums policies.

All I can tell you is it works correctly on EEA MIUI 11.0.2.0.

Good luck! ;)

Hope this helps.

Hi can you share more details???IS IT SAFE?? I want miui message and call apps not Google's one... How can i have them without changing ROM to Indonesian??? Now i have global ROM.

yup it is working perfectly fine on indonesian rom as i am still using it
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Muad.Dib:
Hey,

Sorry was AFK for a while. In case you still need answer, going to reply just in case.

Well there is not much to add, you simply install the module from within Magisk once it installed, you reboot, and it works out of the box, you go in the settings and you set it as you like.

Good luck!

Hello, I have question regarding installing the Indonesian Rom.

I have a Global variant redmi n8p, on Global Stock miui 11 with bootloader unlocked, and Magisk, LTR TWRP installed.

Instead of using Miflash, I wonder if i can use twrp to install Indonesian miui 12 by wiping system, dalvik, cache, and then installing complete Indonesian miui 12 zip?

Anything that i need to pay attention to with this route?

I don't know if i can go with miflash as my phone is now rooted.

Change ROMs easily with XMT2

Hello, I bought the Note 8 Pro in Spain, when I released it the native function to record calls was in the same app on the phone that I think Xianomi puts Google's. In the first update she did, it stopped being there and did not allow the recording of calls with the phone app or any other.

I have read about installing ACR or native Cube ACR, from a web mirrow (youtu.be/uphFv-ASQiw[), it does not work for me. I have also read about installing the native Xianomi app (c.mi.com/thread-2442208-1-0.html?t=1578304767793), I have not tried it because I think it will not work either since it is not Xianomi who blocks the ability to make calls, in Google from version Android 9. I have Android 10 and recently it was updated from MIUI 11 to 12.

I have been looking at many sites like this how to solve the possibility of recording calls and it seems that the only solution is to change the ROM, but it is not very clear which one works without losing things like the NTF. Besides, they talk about things that are very complicated for me to understand and for which I risk turning my phone into a brick.

But I finally saw this app that does it all for you (XMT2). They say made by the same Xianomi developers. But I'm afraid to try it.

Has anyone seen a ultra thin hard crystal case for the note 10+. Not looking for TPU it needs to be hard crystal and ultra thin if possible.

Can anyone recommend me anything? Im currently using a memumi ultra thin case which is perfect but ideally id like a clear crystal case as thin.

Thanks

[Realme XT Guides, News, & Discussion] pjgowtham:
Both the fastboot images does not have stock recovery at the moment. We were not able to pull that because magisk modifies boot.img and results in no boot. if vbmeta is flashed with --disable-verity --disable-verification, it results in persistent TWRP.

Ideally, you wouldnt have to replace anything other than system,vendor,vbmeta and boot. I have added them just in case you need them.

NOTE :

Android 10 is not backwards compatible with 9 firmware. So, once you open that can of worms, there is no going back for now.

fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta vbmeta.img

Hi

I've bought a second hand S7 and i didnt notice when I bought is that it was an AT&T version (G935A - Product code SM-G935AZDAATT to be precise).

The issue is that I've a circular forbidden sign in place of the network signal.

I'm living in Europe and I've a european Simcard.

The simcard is seen as it asked me the pin code and i can see in the application the specific one to access to my simcard.

My guess is that this phone is locked by AT&T... only AT&T sim card would work...

Is there any way to unlock the phone or is there any other workaround?
