Device - Xiaomi Redmi 2 Prime (Config & Info)
Recently Xiaomi Redmi 2 Prime Launched in India (Made In India) & I am Proud to Have It
I am Coming from OPO & Loved that a Hell Lot except the SIZE!
Now I have few Quarries (I was not able to get clear answers from MiUi)
01. Is the ROMs from Redmi 2 (1GB/8GB) are also working for Redmi 2 Prime (2GB/16GB) ?
02. What is the Most Stable & Close to Stock Android ROM Available? (No Launchers Idea Please!)
03. What about Modem Files of this Device??
What I Need is a clean ROM something like Paranoid Android Kitkat ROM For OPO (Most Stable & Clean Rom I have ever Used)..
If anyone is having this device .. & can suggest me something .. Will be thankful.. If not forward it to someone may be who can help.
### Redmi 2 (1GB/8GB) And Redmi 2 Prime (2GB/16GB) are different in my eyes..so please mention if YOU HAVE IT ALREADY

I don't have it right now, but I have ordered one. Meanwhile, check this thread from MIUI forum.
Keep us posted if you find any other working ROMs for Prime.
just launched in Indonesia, looking forward to have these info aswell
thanks
Tried several CM 12.1 based Roms and having troubles with calling. As soon as I dial a number, it shows call ended and I can't even place a call.
Please anyone help !!
AOSP 5.1.1 Rom
You could try this rom, if it works perfectly do let us know. I dont see a reason why it shouldn't. The box of the phone says redmi 2.

Hey Guys Some one Explain it on MiUI forums.....
As many of you are aware, Xiaomi released the Redmi 2 Enhanced Edition (or Pro Edition as it is known elsewhere) with 2GB RAM and 16GB Storage back in February. However the only model released was the HM2014813 China Mobile version. Funnily enough this phone fully supports global GSM/HSPA frequencies and even has better LTE band support as it works on both 1800 & 2600MHz across Europe and Asia. Not only that but many resellers are now selling this device to international customers.
Whilst Xiaomi has released other Redmi 2 versions across India, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia etc they are all based on the standard 8GB model with 1GB RAM. These are built off the China Unicom HM2014811 model and as a result the MIUI 6 Global ROM works across all of these versions. However previously when attempting to flash the Global ROM onto the 2014813 model, the installation would fail.
Initially most users and moderators believed this to be due to the difference in RAM across the models, with one having 1GB RAM and the other having 2GB RAM.
Some users though speculated that this actually wasnt the reason as the Xiaomi MI3 and Xiaomi MI4 share a ROM under the Cancro model name. This is despite a difference in RAM (2GB & 3GB respectively) and even a different processor (Snapdragon 800 and Snapdragon 801).
It was therefore believed that it had something to do with the different radio frequencies and LTE band support. I decided to take a closer look and recently I managed to get a hold of the Redmi 2 (2014813) Enhanced Edition. I started by downloading the latest fastboot ROMs available. Firstly I downloaded the fastboot ROM for the 2014813 model from Chinese MIUI webiste. This was version 6.5.2.0. I then dowloaded the latest Global fastboot ROM which was version 6.4.4.0 (as the 6.5.2.0 ROM hadnt been uploaded yet).
I extracted the TAR images fully and opened the flash scripts. In those I found the file corresponding to the cellular modem known as the NON-HLOS.bin. I thought that if I swapped the modem file from the Global ROM with the one in the 2014813 software, I would be able to successfully install the ROM via fastboot.
I tried it and it worked! I managed to get the ROM to fully install via fastboot on my Mac. I unplugged the device and set it up. Everything went through fine, even setting up my Google account. However the most important part to test was still left. The phone functionality. Did my modem swapping solution work?
I plugged in a T-Mobile SIM Card and straight away got HSPA+ signal! I tested with a telephone call and got crystal clear reception on both ends. I then turned off WiFi and tried the mobile data which worked fine. I have now tested every single part of the phone including Camera, Gyroscope, LED, Bluetooth, GPS, Compass and Loudspeaker. They are all working. The phone even shows 2GB RAM in the multitasking menu.
The only function not working is the OTA update. As the update zip will try to replace the modem, it will fail during installation. However this is very easy for Xiaomi to fix. All they need to do is provide a Global ROM for the 2014813 model with the correct modem which as seen is just a single file. They should easily be able to add a download link in each future update for the 2014813 model, both as fastboot/recovery packages and as an OTA zip. Hopefully they add this soon, especailly as more and more users are buying the Redmi 2 Enhanced Edition. Other than that everything else works.

Hi all!
I live in Germany and would like to buy a RN3 pro from Aliexpress. I don't want to stick around with MIUI but would like to try out different CM-based ROMs. The community here seems very alive, but I am confused by certain things. So I hope you can help me :highfive:
1) Some months ago, I followed the news about the Mi4c. People were complaining that Xiaomi won't let them unlock their phones. Are there no such problems with the RN3 pro?
2) Concerning the official firmware: I read that the phones come either with a Chinese or international firmware (or sometimes even bloated by retailers), and each has a hundred of version numbers. Are all versions possible to unlock? Or do I need a particular version to be able to root/unlock bootloader/flash a custom ROM?
3) Are there any differences between the 2/16 gig and the 3/32 gig version of the RN3pro apart from RAM/storage?
4) Is Xposed working fine on CM-based ROMs?
Best regards
1. I spent around a month to get it officially unlocked, till then I unlocked unofficially in few mins. But if you unofficially unlock whenever you flash a rom you must be more conscious and read every step that's given by Developer or else you will end up bricking your device(don't worry there are solutions for very bricking scenario) . So if this is not a concern you can buy
2. Whatever the firmware phone may come with you can flash MIUI global firmware and unlock it from there.
3. Nope not that I know of.
4. Yes it's working.

1)as an unlock reason I pasted some chineese text found in the Internet and after 1 week I got my unlock code. So no problem there
2)Developer rom is recommended for that, but I think that the never versions of stable build also support unlocking. Anyway, it's easy to install developer rom with locked bootloader
3)nope
4)yep

1) If the phone is updated to the latest firmware (7.3.2 at the time of writting) then the bootloader unlocking process time will depend on how long it takes them to approve the permission for you (got my phone on Tuesday and unlocked it today).
2)Yes all are eligible, but you have to be on the latest one. Likely you will get with an outdated Chinese rom and will have to update via MIUI updater (or similar name of the official software). I also suggest looking for the phone from else where, like here in the EU (think ebay.ie had some cheap ones), since i had to pay an extra 50eur for taxes and expenses (am from Lithuania).
3) No idea, likely none. I got the 3gb version because it's more future proof and can upload 2 videos at the same time vie desktop version of facebook. Also the software itself uses about a gig of ram. Plus it's doesn't cost that much more and a gig of ram makes a difference.
4) No idea, wasn't a fan of xpossed before and am not planing to become one.

Hi,
With too many Redmi 3 sub-models, it hard for me to getting "knowing the ropes".
I bought the Redmi Note 3 Pro 3GB 32GB Qualcomm Snapdragon 650 Hexa Core.
Read the "index-custom-roms" and there are a LOT of roms theres, hell knows what would suit me? (A clean /smouth/ android with few modes)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/development/index-custom-roms-t3396628
I still totally confused with:
- What is the Rooting method that works for this sub-model? (after sending request to Xiaomi to unlock the BL)
- I want a clean rom without Chinese bloatware - running smoothly without lags.
Please help me straighten out with this confusing area (for me).
Thanks you very much!
After getting unlocking permission, you need to unlock BL through miunlock tool. Then, install twrp with fastboot adb. After that you get n number of roms as per your liking & preference. Cm13 by santosh is my favorite.

Thanks mate.
But I still getting confusing and I really need to someone will paste here the links to the right TWRP recovery filecause I can easily flash the wrong recovery file.
What is the tool for unlocking the BL of the: Note 3 Pro 3GB 32GB Qualcomm Snapdragon 650 Hexa Core
Also - for your opinion - what is the most clean smooth rom out there for this sub-model?
Thanks very very much for the help.
https://dl.twrp.me/kenzo/
Here's the official twrp. Kenzo is device's codename so you don't get confused with other sub-models.
You will find unlock tool on the same website you applied for permission, Its the same for all variants.
I'm using CM13 based on official sources, it pretty smooth,
BTW, most ROMs for kenzo are based on official CM sources so you'll get almost similar experience on them.
Fews days back I purchased redmi note 3. Although it is a very good budget phone. But I wanted to to improve it more by installing custom ROM. For this the first step was unlocking bootloader. After a research I found that Unlocking bootloader unofficially is the fastest method. But unfortunately while doing this steps, my phone got soft bricked after which I was only able to access ''FASTBOOT'' mode. Then I downloaded a ''Redmi Note 3 Qualcomm Latest Global Stable Version Fastboot ROM'' and successfully flashed it over my phone using ''MI Flash Tool''. The phone booted perfectly after this, But after that My network was gone and my camera also stopped working. After that I tried some old version ROMs also, but still the camera and network was missing from the phone. I also installed cyanogenmod 12.1 from Santosh developer, but nothing worked. At last I again installed the ''Redmi Note 3 Qualcomm Latest Global Stable Version Fastboot ROM''. Now I am using this phone without camera and network. I tested sim card in other mobile. SIM card is absolutely fine. I am really worried about how to fix this :crying:
I will be very thankful if anyone sorts out my problem
Even the sensors on this device seems to be dead (All 37 sensors).

Ask amazon for replacement if its not a month after buying the phone. My brother did the same thing when he got his Mi4i Hard Bricked. He told amazon,"Dead on Arrival". That's one way. The other way is, consult the service centre and pay some bounty for ****ing your phone off! :cyclops:
Hit Thanks if I Helped You!

Okay, weird story but also your fault in some point!
For the next time, unlocking the BL officially will now takes about 1-3 days, very fast. It was taking long in the past, cause everyone needs to unlock the BL, of course (500) employees can't send the permission in 24hrs for million of devices.
Try to replace it over Amazon, maybe they will send you a new one, but with unofficial method, the warranty is void, for now what you can try is to root your device and flash the whole camera & network image new on your device or have a look in the build.prop, i think there's something disabled!
Good Luck! :good:
The problem is solved. Actually my phone was of Special edition and I was using pro ROM because of which the things were not working. Now my device is back to normal.
I want to delete this post. Its up to moderators, if they wish to delete or keep this post. Its their choice.
i have same issue
So hello, this is my first Xiaomi device before that I have always used Sony Xperia devices. So I am really confused about some things. I got the Redmi Note 9S 64 GB model. Acording to many web sites and some threads on XDA this model should be "curtana". But what I want to ask is about my "codename". So I am currently on MIUI global 11.0.4 (QJWTRXM) and I have looked up on XDA and many roms require you to have 11.0.7. So if I look up on https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/archive/firmware/curtana/ I only get the QJWMIXM global version. Can I flash QJWMIXM without any problems? My wait time will end tommorow and I will be able to unlock it. If anyone can help me out on this I would be very pleased...
Oh now after I post it I think have found something about it... QJWTRXM seems to be the Turkish version of the global rom. Which is outdated compared to it. So I think I can switch to the global rom since my device is 9S (curtana).

I was wondering if we can change the codename by OrangeFox Recovery
I think the same device is called Curtana for India Note 9 pro and Curtana_global for Note 9s . Any thoughts?
I would love to change my phone to curtana_global to get rid of device codename inconsistencies when switching between global and indian roms.
So I possess a Redmi Note 10 Indian variant with 4 GB ram. For the past month, I have been using Pixel Experience Plus and it was smooth until the last week's update. Then it came to my notice that I haven't installed the latest MIUI 13 "Firmware" as the developer said. So I got and flashed the Global ROM V13.0.5.0.SKGMIXM (even though my device was shipped with Indian ROM) via Xiaomi Flash because Indian ROM V12.5.6.0.RKGINXM is still in MIUI 12.
Oops! That was probably the worst mistake I had made coz my phone had restarted at least a dozen times unexpectedly even while the phone is locked and unlocked (referring to screen lock) Now it's barely usable.
So here are my questions:
Is this a bug with MIUI or did I mess something up big time?
I use the terms firmware and ROM interchangeably but are they different?
How to install firmware via fastboot?
I know that was a lot of questions but please help me if possible because this is my main device
Thanks a lot

First off, don't try to make an update while the device has a kind of lock, either the screen or user encryption (not referring to in-built encryption).
Generically, firmware makes a reference to a specific build, this applies for any ROM, for any device out there.
The set of specific partitions, that are called firmware in the Xiaomi world, are also in any fastboot ROM.
But like the different firmware versions are usually available for almost (if not all) Xiaomi devices, in great part, thanks to @yshalsager, you can just pick up the one you need and flash it before or after (over) any (that supports it or needs it) custom ROM.
Just refer to here https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/firmware-redmi-note-10-mojito-auto-updated.4254017/page-3 as you can see, what you need, was there.
Well what i can tell you with experience might enlighten the situation. I changed my rom from global to Indonesian on MIUI 12. It was working very well no lags no issue infact i was loving it . Then came MIUI 13 V13.0.2.0.SKGIDXM.
my phone became like a sluggish snail. A lot of lags, different apps not working really hateful. There was no escape. so after bearing it was 2 months i down graded back to MIUI 12. Now i think i will stay there until some one let me know MIUI 13 is bug free
