hey :)

I tried to update (normally through system update) for the latest verison. I have PE installed currently running the verison from july 21.

the phone went into recovery mode and then got an error:

" recmsg failed (no buffer space available)"

"Error opening trace file: no such file or director (2)."

is there a way to fix it?

Hi - firstly thanks so much for an awesome ROM - have been using it for a few months now and its best ever :)

Can i ask a couple of silly questions tho...

I have a clean install of ginkgo-11.0-20210618-2102-OFFICIAL. All is well except for one bug... On messenger video calls i have audio problems. ie the other person sometimes cant hear me. Sometimes a clear cache/reboot phone fixes it, but sometimes not... Any suggestions. I have done all the obvious...

Also i am prompted nightly for system updates, but i dont really want to do a fresh install again... is it ok to flash update over the top?

Many thanks :)

Little reminder on why you should not flash DFEs

* Userdata is NOT a sensitive partition, you can do whatever you want with it, but you'll never do damages, and also encryption process is 100% secure and there are 0 risks of bricking (you can actually have more issues if you flash DFE, will explain later)

"But I need to format data everytime I flash a new ROM!" Stop flashing multiple ROMs, you should daily drive one, not ruining your EMMC/UFS by flashing 1747858 ROMs

Also, if ROM maintainers recommends to not use DFE, don't use it

Being decrypted or encrypted actually changes how Android handles booting

TL;DR

Basically Android has 2 phases during boot: pre-decryption and after-decryption

If you disable encryption, there can be race conditions where stuff expects to start only after data has been decrypted but it starts together with core services, creating issues

One example is in X00H and X00I, where if you run decrypted will break camera completely

- "data encryption on custom ROMs is useless": It's actually even more useful! If your device gets stolen, no one will be able to access your data, and the only way is to format data

Conclusion:

Unless you have a good reason (and there are none), do not never ever flash DFEs

I don't support DFE in my ROMs, if you report a bug and you're decrypted your issue will be happily discarded

Said my sebaubuntu who is a recognized developer.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] iamsaalim:
Yes you need the rom inside your sdcard
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] Chandresh204:
The reason for me asking this was not that I Flashed DFE or wanted to flash DFE, I just encountered an issue while flashing MICAM zip that I wasn't able to access any file in the internal storage as latest TWRP wasn't able to mount internal storage, so I had to transfer the zip in sdcard and then flash it..... earlier by putting in my lock screen password in TWRP would just simply mount the internal storage and this problem won't occur, but now I'm facing an issue where internal storage isn't being read by the recovery
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] pnin:
With all due respect to your valued knowledgeable opinion, I have zero interest in encryption if it's going to make my life harder and cause me to loose my data -- as it has done repeatedly in the recent past.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: security at the expense of user data is utter non-sense.

Hello.

Today I downloaded your ROM for Redmi Note 8T ( Willow )

Everything works beautifully. I just noticed one thing.

If I turn on the sleep function by double tapping I have to double tap the status bar to lock the device.

Could this be changed please ?

It would be much better if I could double tap anywhere on the screen and the device would lock :-)

Thank you very much for any correction.

Hi, I need help with decryption with my Pixel Experience ROM, i have the version before 2021/07/21 and I want to update to the last version (2021/08/23) but I have a problem, when I download the ROM and I reboot into bootloader, I cant decrypt data partition and I can't reach the file to install it, I tried to install orangefox but it doesn't boot up because it can't decrypt data partition and I get stucked into orangefox logo, what can I do? I have to format data and install the ROM or can I do something to decrypt data partition?

you can use pitch black or latest TWRP recovery

But don't use orange fox with this rom. You will stuck in bootloop and will not be able to enter recovery mode. You have to then flash twrp or pitch black to go to recovery option

Dear @iamsaalim

The universal safetynet fix v2.1.0 has been officially released on the github.

https://github.com/kdrag0n/safetynet-fix/releases/tag/v2.1.0

It seems with few ROMs, like as Pixel Experience or Pixel Experience based ROMs is not working... supposedly these ROMs are claiming something in the CTS profile.

Could you look at this?

It's because, recovery does not support decrypting the encryption method I use
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] iamsaalim:
Well it's just your opinion, being encrypted will also avoid you flashing 100 ROMs whenever you want, as flashing/changing many ROMs harms your device, like battery

Hello! I'm new here. I have some questions.

- Is the miui camera included in the latest build? If not can you suggest to me a Gcam that the auxiliary camera can work?

- My device (update to miui global 12.0.2.0 RCOMIXM, then switch to xiaomi.eu) has a problem with wifi and network signal, it's usually cut off every 5-10 minutes or when I use too much internet then I switched to xiaomi.eu (21.9.8) but the problem is still happened. So, I want to know that will the network working fine in your rom if I switch from xiaomi.eu?

Thanks!

p.s. As of now, I still don't know what's cause this problem but I have my doubts about the kernel (4.14.117-perf -> 4.14.190-perf-g9f5c38a-dirty).

Hi everybody,

Been using this ROM for months without major issues, far better than MIUI, thanks for the work. However, since I've been using the ROM I've noticed that a few seconds after screen goes off, the device loses wifi connection.

I.E. I'm using WhatsApp on device and WhatsappWeb on a laptop. A few seconds afther the phone's screen goes off, WhatsApp web shows the "Phone has no internet access". The moment I turn on the phone's screen, the alert goes away and all the messages arrive as they normally would.

This seems to repeat for other apps like Telegram, Gmail, etc. The moment I turn on the screen, all messages and notifications arrive but nothing comes if the screen is off.

I've already excluded said apps from Android's battery optimizer but the problem persists. Anybody else has this problem and has managed to fix it?

firmware first then the pe rom. Otherwise the wifi will not work. I asked many people and they say that to prevent users from going from MIUI ROM xiaomi use broked vendor in Redmi Note 8. So for this after flashing any custom rom in note 8 the wifi doesn't work. Then a solution came that if you flash the MIUI firmware and then the custom rom wifi works. But then the phone stucks at bootloop. Then a solution came that you have to flash the miui firmware first and then custom rom. Then you have to do format data and then reboot the device.

Foremost, thank you for this ROM. Even though I wasn't able to install it, I still appreciate it nonetheless.

That being said... I'm lost. Apologies if this was already answered in the 37 page thread here but this is my first time installing a custom ROM on my Redmi Note 8. I'm well accustomed to technology but most of my experience is based around computers with mobile systems not exactly being my strong suit. Hence, I made sure to follow the guide linked in the download section to the letter. Everything was going fine up until it came to booting into the TWRP recovery itself. Everytime I'd tried to boot into it, by holding down VolumeUp+Power button, for the life of me I couldn't get into it. Kept getting greeted by MI Recovery, like the phone was erasing TWRP somehow.

I know I didn't mess up the steps upto copying the recovery into the phone because ADB acknowledged all my steps without errors. Heck I even went a step ahead and erased cache after copying the recovery, but ended up with the same result. After searching other threads, I found "fastboot boot recovery.img" command that would direct the phone to boot into TWRP but somehow that made the phone freeze on REDMI icon for quite some time.

At this point, I'm unsure how to proceed. My MiUI Packages are upto date and unless there is something else outside of the guide that I should be doing, I'd appreciate some troubleshooting if possible please.

Regards,

LonerPrime

How can i flash magisk on this device? TWRP keeps getting replaced with Pixel Recovery then randomly stops booting or magisk not working.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] pnin:
Best I can think: the first time you boot TWRP, you need to use its internal reboot menu to reboot to recovery, otherwise Xiaomi default recovery will re-install itself.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] NerdyLlama:
It seems like every boot overwrites the recovery partition, so the only way to boot into a custom recovery is tedious and only temporary.

Flashing a custom recovery .img file (.e.g TWRP or manually extracting recovery.img from PBRP .zip):

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flash recovery path/to/recovery.img

Reboot into recovery using your device's key combination. This is usually holding Power + Volume Up until the device reboots into recovery.

Wait until you've rebooted into your custom recovery tool.

Flash your recovery image again, this time using your custom recovery tool. If you skip this step, your recovery partition may be reverted the next time you reboot.

There doesn't currently appear to be a way to replace the recovery partition from within the Pixel Experience recovery mode. While it is possible to flash a custom recovery .zip file using "Apply updates", it will be reverted no matter how you reboot.

@iamsaalim is the reverting of the recovery partition on every boot intentional or a bug?

Because it currently makes using a custom recovery nearly impossible.
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] LonerPrime:
Thank you both for your advice. Unfortunately, things have gone weird now with Mi Recovery no longer showing up either after transferring the recovery in. It's like the phone is trying to execute TWRP by default but neither by button combination nor by adb command can I get it to load any recovery, MI or custom. Screen just freezes on REDMI icon and stays so infinitely. If I boot normally however, the phone smoothly sails past the REDMI icon into the MIUI splash screen and eventually loads the MI OS without any issues.

Is this weird anomaly due to ginkgo firmware that is baked into my country's version? I'm on the Indian version that is probably the oldest compared to the other Note 8 variants according to the MiFirmware website and while others see MI boot icons, I get REDMI and MIUI instead. However, if this is not a factor, then I'm still unsure how to proceed further..
[Redmi Note 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other De] pnin:
I'm sorry to hear that. You probably need to flash vbmeta or something.

I suggest you check loopypalm's flashing instructions for evaluating your options -- e.g., at https://xdaforums.com/posts/84801111...
