For the ones on A11 and want to fully stop forced system update and huge battery drain:

1. Root your device using Magisk

2. Use an explorer with root access to find Hosts Archive (System/ect/Hosts), in my case i've used FX file explorer to mount/read the files in system folders

3. Edit adding those lines to blacklist those 2 google domains who check if updates are on

127.0.0.1 ota.googlezip.net

127.0.0.1 ota-cache1.googlezip.net

4. Save Hosts, lock system files and reset.

Battery drain and data usage should be normal now.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] daggersnz:
thanks, but what about those who can't root device because banking apps won't work? I've tried workarounds to pass safety net but could never get it to work. Considering switching to another brand of ROM because of the battery drain
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] xTjCombox:
Magisk already has an option once rooted and installed to hide from bank and safety net security

I'm on PE 12 24/12/2021 how can I upgrade to the 22/01/22? Can I just install from recovery?

I had problem with bluetooth connection range as said in this issue the solution is

WHere I can find latest FW? WHat is the difference between firmware and PE ? There is a guide to install latest FW? How can I check which version of FW I have?

For installing magisk I can upload on the device from recovery cause I have only a bunch of folders all with strange names.

Sorry for all the questions

Thanks

I am experiencing issues with my carkit. I'm using pixel experience on a Redmi note 8 pro with a Ford C-max. But when it is connected I don't hear a thing from the carkit while it is connected and switching when there is a call. But no sound when connected to a call.

What can I do?

Xiaomi Firmware Updater

The ultimate script that provides firmware packages for Xiaomi devices.

PE is the android-rom, firmware is the low-level software for hardware support. This might not be an accurate description but should make the differnce a bit clearer.

hi a friend want to change from MIUI to this custom ROM the bootloader is still locked and got MIUI 12.5.7. I read that in previous ROM a downgrade was necessary for a firts time install, this is still necessary to avoid hard brick?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Kirasu2080:
Don't downgrade. Just follow flash guide.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] BacksteinBernd:
Greetings, I hope you are all in good spirits.

First of all, thanks for the fork for the Android 12 version.

Visually, A12 is insanely beautiful and Pixel Experience Edition to boot, so no third-party crap (like I loathe Xiaomi's MIUI - way too loaded and visually an insult).

All in all, you've done a great job.

I still have a few complications, but I see them more as teething troubles.

Bluetooth connection (headphones) very unstable + too short range (max. 15cm, otherwise connection loss) - is actually due to the Pixel Experience Rom, both A11 and A12. The connection is stable for several meters via Miui.

Mobile data has a slightly weaker signal.

USB tethering (both sharing wifi and via mobile data works rather changeably, sometimes not at all, wifi is a bit more stable).

When scrolling, there is often screentearing / visible screen tearing or even stuttering, especially in the Google Play Store or on larger vertical lists.

I have to mention the following positively:

- Installation was very easy, if you follow the recommendations.

- Visually a blast

- Rooting / Magisk installation very simple

- Play Store certification

- Fingerprint & screenshot function usable out of the box without workarounds

And lastly, really love you guys for still breathing some life into the old Begonia!

Stay healthy & have a nice evening.

I can't run recovery rom. TWRP screen is apear for 1 minute and then device restart. Should i need newest FW ? I have V12.0.6.0.QGGEUXM. Or maybe any other recovery rom?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Kirasu2080:
You should feel lucky because you didn't get hardbrick. I saw many flash 12.5fw based recovery while using 12fw rom and ended with hardbrick.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] jntcrash:
Hi, I've got through the same problem but managed to fix it in the end.

Guess it's a vbmeta problem. You have to:

1 - Extract the vbmeta.img from the actual rom on device then flash it.

2 - Flash an old TWRP (compatible with the android version in device)

3 - Flash MIUI 12.5+ and then flash and boot Dynamic TWRP.

4 - Flash PE12 (yes, will be errors in the end on twrp, but after 2 reboot to system it will begin normally.

Don't matter what, I always come to the same problem going with MIUI 12.0. instead of 12.5+.

I don't know what exactly cause the problem, but this solved for me.

Hi! I installed Pixel Experience 12 falling the official PE website instructions, step by step, and everything went just as expected. The problem is when I try to update the system using the update area, it downloads the files normally, but when I press update, it reboots into TWRP and does nothing, just that, reboots into TWRP. I also noticed some errors on TWRP's console output. I have 2 errors: "Failed to mount '/system_root' (Device or resource busy)" and "Failed to mount '/vendor' (Device or resource busy)", witch I have no idea if it's related to the update problem. So, I want to update my phone and don't want to lose my data. Is there hope or am I doomed?

[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] alcaeus121:
Hello, first I would just give my suggestions for the installation guide (https://wiki.pixelexperience.org/devices/begonia/install/)

--- Under "Unlocking the bootloader", "5. Link the device to your Mi account..."

- A nice tip here is that if the linking fails, you should log out of the MI account and then log back in. That worked for me and afterwards the linking worked.

--- Installing a custom recovery using fastboot

"6. Now reboot into recovery to verify the installation: With the device powered off, hold Volume Up + Power."

- Here after flashing the recovery, it is not necessary for the device to be powered off. And while in fastboot rather than holding the Volume Up + Power it's easier to just type "fastboot reboot recovery".

---------------------------------------------

Now I installed it today and I have noticed that if I run the integrated screen recorder (when swiping top there is an option for a screen recorder) the Phone just completely freezes, and I have to hold the power off button for it to shutdown. Is there a fix for this?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] alcaeus121:
I would just like to add that the recording app named "XRecorder" does work, I tried several and they would crash the OS.

Also the Camera app it comes with is very bad, here I have also tried several apps and some didn't work at all and some were just bad. The following app I would recommend since it does not have ads and works great imo: "HedgeCam 2"

First of all thank you for your amazing work.

I encountered a serious bug in the screen recording function that comes with the operating system of my mobile phone. The details are as follows: My device is begonia, the system version is PixelExperience_begonia-12.0-20220221-2203-OFFICIAL, and the bottom package version is MIUI12.5_21.9.28, the Chinese beta version.

When I run the screen recording program, after the screen recording program countdown is completed, the system will freeze, and I need to press and hold the power button to restart the system to recover. I tested it 3 times and the results were the same each time.

I don't know if others have encountered the same problem, looking forward to your testing and fixes.

Thank you so much!

Hi all,

I have, as many, bluetooth range connection problem.

On github there are many issues for this problem all closed immediatly by Zidane saying to upgrade firmware.

Can someone point me to the right version to install? I'm on PE 12 latest release (February) I don't know which version to install. If I search on https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/ NOte pro I get all firmware versione for Android 11

How can I check which version I have on my phone?

How can I install it? Last fw I download was a zip and trying to install with fastboot gave me an error. And from recovery I have the problem below.

If I enter into recovery On the mounted devie I had some strange folders name and can't see anyone of my files (crypted?) Hoq can I solve it? For now I solved using adb sideload to install updates but I like to solve this too.

Thanks

[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Boom batishta:
You cant solve this issue i dont know why he is saying to upgrade firmware

My self using PE A12 version i tried every firmware version and issue is same

I have tried 12.5.7.0, 12.5.5.0, 12.0.6.0, 12.0.5.0 and 12.0.3.0

Firmware older than 12.5.x.x create a bootloop cycle , so you need to go back.greater than 12.5.5.0

There is no firmware for A12 begonia version

And checking about version there is a basband version in settings, about phone, android version,

You'll find at the end p59, p57 . p59 is 12.5.7.0 and p57 is 12.5.5.0

If im wrong and anyone have solution please correct me

Hello Everyone,

I hope this will help you, i installed the ROM which is great but had the same bluetooth issue as some of you and it's a big no for me as i use a lot my bluetoth earphones.

As i saw that a firware update could solve it i gave it a try, i was at a time with the P54. I tried installing the following : https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/firmware/begonia/stable/V12.5.6.0.RGGEUXM/ and ended up with the firware P59 as you can see on the screenshot and ... IT WORKS, the bluetooth is fine with this version installed.

Hope this may help you.
