I installed it on my converted 2127 to 2125 and it's perfectly fine! As a matter of fact, I also disabled the 2127 Data Fix module (2 sim card bug) and it's actually coming up as only 1 sim! Confirmed after rebooting the device a couple times just to be on the safe side 😁

You can try, but on first strange behavior, you can't really complain about it here. I highly recommend to always clean flash when changing android version. In case of cr8 -> cr9, you don't need to format data, just wipe it.

[Xiaomi Redmi 5A ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] gxthelord:
Hi just flashed this rom, performance is amazing feels like a new phone now. However my network seems not working for mobile 4g/calls/sms

Is there a file I need to flash?
[Xiaomi Redmi 5A ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] iusmac:
try firmware
[Xiaomi Redmi 5A ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] gxthelord:
Hey iusmac, thanks for getting back on this so fast. I tried flashing the rom too as well but it still says no network detected.

I have manually tried inputting APN as well doesnt work.

Any ideas to work around? Aside from this everything is perfect already :)
[Xiaomi Redmi 5A ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] gxthelord:
Thanks got it already data working too now on LTE.

For future reference any forumers want to try.

Reflash to Nougat, unlock bootloader again, Flash Orange Fox, and follow steps above to flash rom. So far this is breathing in new life into this phone. Thanks TS.

Added:

So far found 1 issue, I tried put in MicroSD can and once I select the 2nd option(use SD as app storage) it loads till 24% and stays in bootloop till I remove the MicroSD card.

Now whenever I try put in the microsd card it will bootloop
[Xiaomi Redmi 5A ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] iusmac:
Take the ROM "as is". It's beta for now. The ROM will get OTA updates weekly, so stay tuned.

This build is unbootable. The phone didn't boot up after OTA; stuck on a black screen. I did a clean install and it still didn't boot up. I had to revert to the previous (November 19) build, which boots just fine.

Redmi 5A.
[Xiaomi Redmi 5A ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] iusmac:
you're the only one. Probably currupted .zip, check hash sum.
[Xiaomi Redmi 5A ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] enjoy_life:
The thing is I updated via OTA and the process went smoothly (no errors during update in logs), it's just the device didn't boot up afterwards. Then I wiped the phone in recovery, did a format, downloaded the latest build on PC, transferred it to the phone and installed from scratch from recovery. The phone didn't boot up. There where no errors in the logs during installation.

I can open the archive and view/extract all files, so it's definitely not corrupted.

Then I downloaded the previous build from November 19, installed it from scratch and it did boot up, just as I expected.

I'm not sure what's going on but I guess I'll just wait till the next update.
[Xiaomi Redmi 5A ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] iusmac:
then, what does it mean "stuck on a black screen"? The only "black screen" you may see is when the phone is completely off, otherwise you should see the Mi logo or crDroid bootanimation. Clarify, please.
[Xiaomi Redmi 5A ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] enjoy_life:
I can see the MI logo with "Unlocked" status when the phone boots up. Then it transitions into black screen and nothing else happens. Normally we should see the CrDroid boot animation at that point, but not in my case. I need to press Volume up + Power to force the phone to reboot to recovery. Booting to fastboot also works.

The previous build from November works just fine right now. If I proceed with the OTA, Local Update, or even clean flashing this new December build again, the issue will be reproduced 100%. I spent like 3 hours yesterday trying to figure out what's going on. I ended up flashing the previous build for now, which doesn't have any issues.
[Xiaomi Redmi 5A ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] iusmac:
Yeah, as I thought, for some reason the kernel panics and shuts down the phone. This is critical issue. Can be due to some peripherals (ex. bad MicroSD card filesystem). Anyway, this most likely won't be fixed, as you're the only one with this issue. I need logs to help you. When the phone goes off, boot directly to recovery and send me the file in path /sys/fs/pstore/console-ramoops-0
[Xiaomi Redmi 5A ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nitinule:
Gone through the whole thread and flashed both the above given file 5 times whole format and clean install and almost all the things

NO Network at all. Not even for single SIM.

Any final solution?
[Xiaomi Redmi 5A ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] iusmac:
ofc I assume you strictly followed the flushing instructions, using correct recovery and getting no errors when flashing firmware, persist etc, otherwise you have some that you ignored or the device has hardware issues (bad sim, bad slot, motherboard damage etc.). Try other ROMs based on different android versions, also try stock. Isolate the problem, so far no one in telegram group has complained about this issue, everything is working fine.
[Xiaomi Redmi 5A ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nitinule:
Thanks Bro.. Shall try old releases to check if there is harware issue

I am using Orange Fox recovery

[Xiaomi Redmi 5A ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] insadf:
Hi, just reporting issues faced flashing this ROM:

-Latest build resulted in same behaviour as described by enjoy_life:

-Previous build crDroidAndroid-13.0-20221119-rova-v9.0.zip booted ok.

-Next I found MAC address for Wifi or Bluetooth was missing so neither of them worked. Tried flashing back to MIUI10 stock ROM resulted with WIFI and Bluetooth working again. After flashing again crDroid and then an image of the persist partition both Wifi and Bluetooth started working. I don't have a clue how this goes but it seems OrangeFox Recovery touches something in the persist partition that "breaks" at least Wifi and Bluetooth. In fact OrangeFox complains about some dependencies after flashing the persist partition. Don't know whether it is a known behaviour or I have done something wrong.

Either way thanks for keeping this phone alive :)
[Xiaomi Redmi 5A ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] iusmac:
You have to flash persist every time you abandon MIUI otherwise your BT, Wifi, sensors etc. will break due to missing files. This is known for years as this ROM (like many others) is unified for rolex/riva and persist is used as a storage for dependencies. Orangefox recovery is using persist for dependencies as well.

Again, I'm not a magician, either you send me logs or don't even waste time to report issues, this can't be fixed randomly.
[Xiaomi Redmi 5A ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] insadf:
Hi,

my fault then for not knowing about the persist partition issue. Other than that the ROM goes perfect :)

My post was intended only to help someone else having the same troubles as I had.

Thank you either way :)
[Xiaomi Redmi 5A ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nitinule:
The Rom got installed perfectly last time but both sim cards had no network. Wifi was working perfect

Then i went to local Repair market. He said he changed the IC and flashed the base MIUI 9 Oreo and Both sims were working fine. but it was MIUI 9 with hell lot of blotware.

today morning I again flashed with crDroidAndroid-13.0-20221204-rova-v9.0 and the Network both sims got disconnected.

Again today I flashed 18 December Update file but got this error. Bot sims not working now. No Network.

I have 7 Phones and all are flashed on Android 13 by me. but Something is going wrong with my this phone. I am flashing phones since 2009 (Nokis N8)

Getting this error now
[Xiaomi Redmi 5A ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] iusmac:
just flash firmware and persist when you're abandoning MIUI.
[Xiaomi Redmi 5A ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] nitinule:
Thanks

But yesterday I did clean format. all parts except MMC

then I flashed firmware

then persist

then latest firmware.

wipe cache

still got same above issue

Hello author, I have encountered the same problem. Android 12 does not have this problem. Android 13 version will black screen and power off when booting. There is no red word error during the entire installation process. I use the Chrome browser to download. Now I try to change other downloaders to see if it’s a zip problem. Some people found this problem on Chinese forums. It’s probably not an isolated case. I’m here to comment and reply, thank you

After testing, it still turns on a black screen, the old version does not have this problem

I need to know if I can do this on my redmi 5a phone.

I am still on Android 7.1 (MIUI 9.6.5) with Lockedbootloader. Do I need to update my rom first into latest Android 8 MIUI 11?

I will going to try to unlock my bootloader and flash orange recovery using adb.

Also, I need to know if ScreenRecorder for version Android 8 to 13 is working without problems with this rom?

Thank you!

You have to stay with Android 7 in order to use this ROM. No need (and shouldn't) to upgrade to Android 8.
[Xiaomi Redmi 5A ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jhun12:
thank you for confirming ninjoe. i will try it now.

update: i tried it and it went bootlooping in miui..

update: finally it works now. what i did (which was the culprit) I installed first the initial install of orange.zip file before custom rom. so after I installed the custom rom, i installed again the orange.zip file. and now it works.
[Xiaomi Redmi 5A ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] jhun12:
it was working now thank you for this rom. i hope this will be good in screenshot and video screenrecording qualities.

update: i am having problems with the built-in installed Screen Recorder. it always, error starting screen recorder. when i tried to download apk and installed manually. it says package conflict with existing.

update: the rom was working. after some settings customization and then deciced to reboot to recovery then the problem "stuck in orange recovery logo" occurs...

i revert back in miui 9.6.5 after all...
