Been waiting for this!!

Much love. Will try later today.

[Update] - All good. Thanks for your hard work! But i have the Serial Console notification too just like the guy above. Any input here?

[Update 2] - The same navbar issue that was present with the early builds of A10 is still here with this. I can''t seem to hide the gesture pill in the bottom of the screen. Not sure if that has to do with google dropping overscan but i thought this is worth a mention.. - Just FYI :)

Does OTA works with those kind of ROMs and also what's so special in those VDNK30 builds.

[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] adriakus:
I've bought the device a week ago. The first thing I did is unlock the bootloader. 1 week today. So I started to look into installing a custom ROM. I must say that this device (or Mediatek) is quite tricky. I had to go through a lot of threads to figure the safe thing to do.

So, here it goes, to whom it might concern, this is what I've done to install this ROM from MIUI 11.0.5 (Android 9), from scratch:

(I made a .txt for myself before doing it, and it's mostly the instructions from Agent_fabulous' Megathread. With some modifications to work easily with this ROM, with what I've uncovered and the modified filenames).

POSP ROM INSTALLATION

from scratch process for noobs like me

Migrate to CFW - Place all files to "work_folder" (adb)

- Download preloader_begonia.bin and lk.img from Megathread attachments

- Execute:

fastboot flash preloader preloader_begonia.bin
fastboot flash lk lk.img
fastboot flash lk2 lk.img

- Flash non-CFW recovery. Execute:

fastboot flash recovery twrp-nonCFW-3.3.1-0-begonia_UNOFFICIAL_3012.img
fastboot reboot

- Boot using power and volume up.

- Boot into recovery

- Wipe system, cache, dalvik

- Flash CFW, then flash CFW compatible ROM

adb push *.zip /sdcard and flash them

- Format data (not wipe, select "Format Data")

- Reboot to bootloader

- Flash CFW recovery

fastboot flash recovery twrp-CFW-3.3.1-0-begonia_UNOFFICIAL_0506.img

- Reboot! You're now on CFW!

fastboot reboot

Spoiler content hidden.

And I'll attach all the files I've used. Drivers and all. Name is pretty self-explanatory if you've read the megathread. In the "work_folder" zip there are all files needed to do it all (including latest posp, twrp, cfw...).
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] adriakus:
Also... since this device is... well, special. What method do you recommend to root it? The "guides" I've found are quite old, when CFW wasn't the standard.

How do you install magisk? Just like with any other device? Flash it anytime? Also, what version do you recommend (I've seen problems with some versions)?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] wojownikhaha:
@adriakus flash it through recovery. Don't forget to wipe dalvik and cache after installation is done. Magisk 21.2 is a good choice.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] jeane_uglypish:
I have successfully flashed the ROM into my device and it's looking good so far. I just have a problem with the SafetyNet. I am about to use Hide Props but I don't know which device FP I'm going to use. Any recommendations?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Shafin2315:
Having issues with voice recognition. "Ok google" is not working and is automatically getting re-disabled everytime I enable it like some older roms or rom builds. I'm sure this is a rom related problem and not Gapps related as I have encountered this many times before. Because other roms are executing this function fine with the same nikgapps build installed. It would be helpful if other users of this rom and the developers could tell me if they are also facing it and possibly guide me with a fix.

@Agent_fabulous
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] JesusMcCloud:
I'm on POSP 10. Is updating to 11 (without a clean reflash) possible and if so, how would i go about this?

To me the update section in the first post is not 100% clear. Does this refer to going from POSP 10 to POSP 11 or just updating minor versions?

Thanks for the great work! Running POSP 10 as my daily driver ever since I got the RN8P in October!
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] jeane_uglypish:
Just fixed the SafetyNet by using Pixel 4 XL (A10) FP and also used Pixel 4XL in forcing BASIC key attestation.

The root variant of Youtube Vanced is not working. It says the app needs google play services in order for the app to run. I switched to the nonroot variant instead.

There's an issue in the auto brightness feature also just like the other A11 roms... Either it will only change to 0% or 50% brightness.

Also, tigr's camera is working in this rom and haven't experience any issues yet. I flashed wyroczen's buffer fix in magisk before installing the camera.

This rom looks great and thank you devs for making such awesome rom for us to use and enjoy! ;)
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] minhhieu248:
YOUTUBE vanced root variant 15.33.34 is the only version to work perfectly
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] jpy794:
Thanks for your great job!

I have some issues with auto brightness(0 jump to 50) and camera(no front camera at all)l

But love it :-)
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] wojownikhaha:
This is caused by missing camera driver for devices produced after July 2020
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] 4tstar:
How You fix the Safety Net issue.

Can you elaborate in simple....

Thanks in advance.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] 4tstar:
This rom is not that stable there is some feature cut like Audio FX, two key navigation.

Navigation button swap.

Also, Gapps are not available for Android 11. Flashing nikgapps Basic version have some issues like call screen bug.

Plus, You cannot play games like Call of Duty, Pubg Mobile, and these games on this version of Rom Cause There is problem of "Performance is impacted. To disable check bootloader" as appears in a sticky notification due to this Games keep stopped again and again after some time while playing game.

Please Consider...Fix

Meanwhile Rom is quite Awesome. ⚡
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] jeane_uglypish:
Thanks! Guess I'll try going back to root variant and test install the version.

Assuming you're device is rooted with Magisk 😄

1. Install Termux or any alternatives

2. Go to Magisk and install the MagiskHide Props Config (it's available in the online lists on modules) and reboot.

3. Go to Termux and type and enter su. Grant the app for superuser access.

4. Enter props then wait for the module to load.

5. Once loaded, enter 1 (Edit Device Fingerprint) then f (Pick a certified fingerprint) then look for Google then look for Pixel 4XL then choose the Android 10 version (Try using the A11. I just used the A10 because it was the original fingerprint of the ROM - coral 😅) once successfully changed, reboot.

6. Go again to Termux and open props. Enter 2 (Force BASIC Key Attestation) then choose Pick from device list and just like choosing the fingerprint - look and choose for Google and choose Pixel 4XL. Choose yes then reboot.

7. Go to Magisk and enable MagiskHide in settings. Go to SuperUser section then go to MagiskHide. Look for Google Play Services and just check the checkbox.

8. Check SafetyNet and let me know if it worked.

I can play Heroes Evolved smoothly with 55-58fps 😅 I disabled the message just long press the notification and turn off the notification. Just turn off the developer messages. I don't know if this will fix the issue you're having but it worked for me.

I don't know if this glitch causes by the app or the OS. I tried opening Just Dance Now and it automatically goes in landscape mode even if the app display is portrait. Hence the app will not open and just displays black screen. After troubleshooting, I figured out that the auto landscape is caused by my display size (small), I tried going back to the default size and voila, the app is now loading and functioning. Can someone try other portrait games/apps in small display size?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] 4tstar:
It works ! Safety Net check...😃

Thank You
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] 4tstar:
Games like cod and Pubg suddenly stop repeatedly after 5 min, 10 min while playing.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Tifgick:
You sure it's caused by the rom and not for rooting the device?

Because these games check for root access. You need to hide magisk properly for these to work without crash.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] 4tstar:
Yes it caused due to Magisk.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] xdabushrang3r:
I cannot install this ROM. I get error 1 exit code.

(Cannot install incremental update on newer version)

I'm coming from crDroid A11.

Anyone know what the issue might be?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] SirSeanM10Pro:
When you try and use gestures in a landscape app they don't work. You can only pull down the notification shade.

Man the f-ing ****? My begonia blacked out after performing this rom's OTA update in twrp?

It's not starting what the **** do i do now???

Please help man...

EDIT: Because of your broken ass OTA update i almost had a bricked phone on my hand.

I'm never installing another one of your roms again, how careless can you be to provide such a broken ass OTA. 🤦‍♂️

The only thing that saved me was this guide, https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-begonia-begoniain-how-to-unbrick-when-stuck-on-preloader-mode.4000433/

Thank god the sp flash tools bypass method was discovered, the dudes that made the guide and the ones that discovered the bypass are the real MVPs!
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] blavcqnes:
updated today with no issues, this was the second OTA update i received and both updates got installed via TWRP with no issues. Don't know what went wrong on your end..
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] JesusMcCloud:
Does anyone have experience (dirty) upgrading from POSM 10?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] DrDreed:
OTA is working without any sort of problems. Notification, download and automatic installation with TWRP, works just fine.

Thank you Devs, for what I think is a great ROM !!
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] ShaiBlizzard:
Same thing here was on croquette til now and been wanting to update for a while to dumaloo since croq is no longer suported from the looks of it, tried like 5 times with different versions from GIT and the potato center, any other than the sourceforge one bricks my potato, so can't update...

Tried all I could for like 2 days, sadly I'll have to switch...

yay...
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] ShaiBlizzard:
So uh kept trying and every build besides the one on sourceforge bricks..

Am I missing something???
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] ShaiBlizzard:
GOD BLOODY DAMNIT IT WAS THE TWRP VERSION THAT WAS MESSING EVERYTHING UP, was using 3.3 this whole time, switched to 3.4 just now and at last worked... damn there goes an entire day lol

Bricked it so many times wrote some batch thingies to brick it and unbrick it even faster.

For any newbie or whoever wants to install roms somewhat faster enjoy this thingy with whatever I used, instructions included for the most part.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] ShaiBlizzard:
Aaaand after reflashing again today noticed that the ones uploaded were broken... yikes

Here's fixed lol
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] ShaiBlizzard:
Now after I update recovery's broken and can never go into it, if I try to make a factory reset I get bootlooped, flashing some other bootloaders didn't help unless I missed some important one..

I'll just switch back to POSP10 and wait til the sourceforge gets updated since they're the only ones that work for me..
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] nikhilZ2:
I was in Crdroid A10. Just wipe system, cache, dalvik and flashed this rom. But now bootloop and cant reboot to recovery. Please help. What I miss..

Edit

...........

My bad- flashed proper cfw twrp , reinstalled rom and format data.

Ok Now.

But worth the hussle, ROM is super smooth + great battery. Thumbs up developer.

Looking for double tap to sleep feature.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] andrewff2:
O yeah updated my too with the brokenASS OTA with @Agent_fabulous TWRP and it bricked... did everything to bring it back as @ShaiBlizzard told... I think someone should look into this broken OTA... Was using as my daily driver... maaan what a sad day...
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] andrewff2:
Okay got it working fine using ThemedTWRP3.5.0-2.0Unified recovery.

My only problem now is the safety net...
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] MrLizard:
Just tried this and think I bricked my device :(. Got as far as "fastboot reboot" holding volume up to get to recovery. Nothing happened, screen stays black, not even the Redmi screen.

Tried turning the device back on and nothing. The only thing I can see is the LED to show it's charging if I plug it in. Small vibration if I hold power+volume up for about 20 seconds but nothing on the screen at all.

Edit - Solved by following this guide;

UNBRICK BEGONIA NO AUTH

Requirements: 1) PC 2) Internet 3) Patience Windows Method: • Download this file - Click-Here (Download from Telegram) (https://mega.nz/file/A4YSEZaA#0Jk3_jH8uVtMnATciVRtWw2r_SH0NPLq4P6SrGNuwJQ)

Edit - After successfully unbricking and getting this ROM installed, I tried installing the OTA update which again bricked the phone but in a way where the above guide wouldn't work (SP flash tool had an error message). Just managed to fix this by translating this guide;

Redmi Note 8 Pro bricked - Xiaomi-Miui.gr

Εχω ενα REDMI NOTE 8 PRO το οποιο μετα απο αποτυχημενο recovery flash μου εμεινε τουβλο εχω δοκιμασει ενα καρο guides με το sp flash tool μου πεταει brom cmd fail που απο…

Starting to feel like installing custom ROMs isn't worth the trouble for this device.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] swebsweb:
Seems rom not stable at all.

Website dosnt show how to properly install rom/twrp/gaps and etc..
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] ShaiBlizzard:
That's noncfw I have no idea how you got it working wha??

Safetynet can be fixed with magiskhide props & kdragon universal safetynet fix, at least on posp 10

Tried getting it again and ended up turning it in a very expensive paper weight...

error 2005 every time on sp flash tool

is nice .-.

I'll just stay on posp 10 when... if?? I get it working again til either I hear smtn from this or I get tired and move to Cesium or sth and just slap lawnchair on it

Taken from their telegram:

"- Switch to GitHub releases for releases" yet link here not updated

Also changelog from this on v4.0.2+3: https://t.me/s/RedmiNote8ProUpdates?q=#POSP

Changelog:

• Updated blobs from MIUI 12 Global fw

• Updated kernel from begonia-q-oss release

• Updated DRM blobs from MIUI Android 11

• Say bye bye to CFW #RIPCFW

It's not cfw anymore....?

And I kept flashing cfw & cfw recovery + build from sourceforge.......

AAAAAaaaaaaaand on github there was no changelog

Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I'll feel that tomorrow
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] ShaiBlizzard:
Well installed 2nd newest build from git with noncfw build and it works, updating to newest works as well

But god damnit could they not bother to post here anything abt that.

I'll post a step by step guide later today so new folks won't literally die, cuz there's nothing wrong with the rom, it's jus the lack of communication(at least on xda) tha seems to b confusing ppl.

Also passed safetynet but it's somewhat convoluted? Cuz it wasn't already

Magisk gets a n/a error failing both, but any other safetynet checker works, and my banking app that requires safetynet passing works as well, so yeahhh?

Also x2 show POSP swag in statusbar isn't added yet, best feature from posp 10 and not added yet SMHing my head
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Dunkelschunkel:
I am on POSP A11 weekly as my daily driver and like it a lot. But the lack if community support always bothered me. It was not toxic on telegram but it was not friendly either. Wrong question asked - no kind answers. Dealing with their bot rose was sometimes a little tricky.

A step by step tutorial on how to flash and what to flash. And is it CFW/VNDK30/nonCFW, TWRP unified etc.

I am sure this would be greatly appreciated not only by newbies.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] ShaiBlizzard:
Also sure love extra spaces I've added to make it more readable being deleted, yeah this the best ya gonna get for now
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] x3r0.13urn:
@ShaiBlizzard It's good one. You should move it into a new thread in Guides, News, & Discussion section, it's more appropriate there, and I'm sure it will be last longer rather than in here.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] Dunkelschunkel:
And ai he did
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] ShaiBlizzard:
Hopefully that guide thingy solved all the problems ppl had w it.

The potato folks sure been uhh silent here tho, wouldn't hurt to check once a month at least maybe?

dam...

Still, if nobody bothers to help round here

Cough cough I'll post patch notes here when updates roll out and I guess answer questions bout ROM best I can

Someone know.... Why on all Custom roms i have problem with Sygic ?

I cannot chose any language (communicates)

Only on Pixel expierience its working

This is Perfect rom.... Only this thing stop me to using this as a daily....
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] ShaiBlizzard:
By communicates did you mean the voice settings?

The voice sett within the app infinitely load or however you say it, however the android TTS settings seem to work just fine

From what I've tested rn I needed to install Google Text-to-speech to be able to change it from there, don't know much else sadly
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] grigor1993:
When i go to communicates in Sygic (you can set there voice)

I have only loading icon.... And nothing happen....

Maybe its all about gaaps ? Cause one time i install dotos and everything works... When i do the same second time.... Not working....
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] ShaiBlizzard:
Had the same thing happen, I just changed it from the android TTS settings, don't really know what causes it to infinitely load tho

Another option would be installing different Gapps versions maybe? May look into it more this weekend
[Redmi Note 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Othe] grigor1993:
I was testing all gaaps you can install i think.... And nothing..
