[RN3 International Edition] Katie - Kenzo roms compatible? - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers

Hey,
Im about to buy a RN3..i want the 32gb !INTERNATIONAL EDITION! with enabled LTE Band 20.
From what i read it is called Katie right?
My question is:
Am I able to install all the Kenzo roms to it because the partition size differs?
Its a biggie for me so I want to know b4 I buy.
Thank you guys
cheers

No, I think it will brick. However, there exists ports from Kate to Kenzo so after a bit of work, we should see CM13 for Kate, we are not sure yet if B20 can work with Kenzo

B20 will never work in Kenzo... And modem from Kate cannot be ported...

Thanks guys. already thought that....I dont necesarrily need B20 so I'll Irder the Kenzo one with 32 gb. Im looking forward to get it! I think price/performance wise its the best phone you can get
And yea its such a beauty! :3

I thought our Antennas are just not capable of being able to work on B20
U tried it or someone can confirm this? I would love to do that
yea..I just read:
Quote:
Inside the Mi5 you will also find the skyworks 77646 power amplifier module and listed under it's 4G features is: LTE supports output power bandwidth bands 1, 25, 3, 4, 39, 26, 8, 20, 12, 17 (and sub-bands 9, 10, 18, 19)
we got another power amp sadly

Can we get root on tge kate model?

I did the modification on cucuo92 rom
i went back to CM12.1 and noticed that TWRP restaure an NV partition... So i first told TWRP to NOT restaure this partition => phone did not boot
So i had no choice and restaured this partition after all
well I went to a town where there is ONLY LTE 800Mhz, and like I expected did not work :/
So I guess that the NV partition backup in TWRP contains the NV changes :/
Nevertheless, i'll retry this with Cucuo92 rom to be sure that this mod is working on my phone
if it is, i will create a NV backup and try to compare it with the backup I already have (cucuo rom without changes)
and then I'll try to do the exact same difference on the CM12.1 NV backup... maybe this could work
you need to use another tool to do the LTE mod, the window you are showing is the one for UMTS (3G) modification
this window need to stay open, but the LTE mod are done in one other tool

So I was reading a little deeper in the thread and a few interesting things came out to me.
CM is known (as of last September) to have added a commit to their code to prevent these changes (my guess is because of their rapid growth and wanting to play with the big manufacturers), so CM12 or CM12.1 may not successfully do this.
It seems that this only works with custom ROM's/kernels that have been compiled from source (meaning Cuoco's ROM is built off of Nubia and they likely are preventing it in the kernel)
It seems the phone has the correct modem to make this happen, but we may also need a custom radio compiled to enable these bands to work - although it seems some people in the other thread have had issues with this. Some say it works and others not so much.
There's more but I don't have time at the moment. I'll try and add more later.
The guy that stated he tried it said to use Cuoco 2.50 or so, and that it didn't work on CM. Maybe Nubia does not have the temper code in its firmware.
Exact I stay under Cuoco 2.51 because I love this rom, but maybe the guide work with CM...

This is true, they may not. It was only a presumption on my part. They have been so reluctant (okay, flat out refusing to do so) to release the source code and device tree, it wouldn't surprise me that they have this, I just don't know. Nubia/ZTE really seems like they don't care about anyone outside of China.

From what I understand from reading many of the replies in the guide, people have had a hard time making it work with CM. They have to use a different ROM.
well fo me, i enabled band 3, 7 and 20 only with the code number : 524356
I then went to a town where to only LTE is on band 20 (800Mhz) (i checked this on a french 4G => http://www.reseau4g.info/couverture-4g-orange)
and ....
NOT WORKING only 3G (too good to be true)
good part about this : i now has no reason to stay on that ****ty nubia based rom, can switch back to CM12.1
Are you sure you have activates 4G in settings > Msim Settings > Mobile Network > Phone Card One or Two ( Where is your Orange sim card ) > 4G mode, enable LTE 4G networks

yes as I have currently 4G in roaming on a 2600Mhz antenna
these are the settings i setup (i also wrote the second line just in case, but this didn't help :/)
and like I said, i'm currently in 4G but on a 2600Mhz antenna somewhere else
---------- Post added at 11:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:47 AM ----------
at least i can confirm that disabling a band really disable it
i just setup my phone to ONLY accept band 20, rebooted it and no more 4G at the place I am (with 4G 2600Mhz)
I guess that some manufacturer disable some bands by software (and in this case, this mod works)
and some other may actually have some hardware limitations (maybe the LTE radio can't find signals bellow 1000mhz ?
nevertheless, i will do a last test by activation all 800Mhz bands (and for course the 3 an 7 bands)
so it will be bands :
3 6 7 18 19 20 27
for code i received 68026468
I'll test this this afternoon... and update the post after getting some results
edit : i went eating in the other nearby town (800Mhz) and no 4G
so this modification is useless :/
Okay, so it seems that we've had someone on Cuoco and on Nubia test this out without success. Next we need someone with one of the versions of CM to see if it works. I'm on CM12.1 and would try, but I don't have a PC; only Mac and Linux and I'm not sure how to make this work with either one.
Well for cm12 we first need to find how to enable the dialog USB.
Cm12 only get adb and mtp or USB mass storage
And noe of the service code worked...

You have it explained here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57561965&postcount=1
You may actually control all the possible USB configs in a similar way.
And it works on a fully booted phone, and not when swiched-off.
intresting thread, i want to buy a z9 mini... there is also no FDD-LTE 20 (800mhz) for being usable in Germany...
anybody tried this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55560160&postcount=148
other question, could it be that the reciever isnt possible to get 800mhz? Then the Software edit would be not useful
Had not seen that specific thread; although, the person who wrote it was a major contributor to the one that had been pointed out earlier. A couple of the people here tried adding band 20 (in France I think) and it didn't work. From what I understand, the qualcomm modem should work without a problem, it's the radio that may be the issue. From what I've read elsewhere, if the phone is being used for bands 38-41 in China, the antenna should be suitable for the other bands people are looking into activating on the phone.

Yes, it does, but those bands aren't available in all countries. Those are TDD bands primarily used in Asian countries (thought there are others too).
yes , but you said:

but the OPO hast 38-41 and the FDD20 didnt work, see my last link
thats y iam asking.... depends on antenna, or software? Because Qualcomm Tool should be able to active FDD 20 on Qualcomm based phones.. but if the antenna doesnt support, this all is useless, thats the question now?? mhm
https://www.qualcomm.com/products/snapdragon/modems
this is also very intressting... the LTE modem is buidl in @ processor , so it shoudl be able to add all LTE bands...
but now there is also the question if the antenna is a impotant thing or not?
for exmaple on the Nubia z9 mini, there is snapdragon 615, which is alos build in htc desire 820, Oppo R5 , Coolpad F2 LTE, Samsung Galaxy A7, ZTE Blade S6
only F2 and blade s6 dont support the 800mhz LTE band, the other 3 do...
br
edit: i see the s6 also has b20 support now
http://www.comebuy.com/brandpage/specification.html
The B20 band is possible or not on Z7 mini ?
I'm sorry but i don't have the capacities to test it.
But actually the procedure for SOC qualcomm don't work for our device ?

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.

I'm searching too and guess for the same reason (Band 20/28? ).

Nobody haves a Kate
I'm sure there are people (why would they ask about porting kenzo fw to kate if they don't have one) but they are too lazy to help or fear that we could do something with their IMEI and such
edit: maybe we should try to trick people by saying our goal is to port cm to kate device hehehe
follow, soon to be redmi note 3 special edition owner. i would love to find out how to root and install twrp on this device!
Somebody have it in the forum but they say that special edition is 2 mm longer than kenzo. Some phsycal changes might be happen in hardware.
I would like to know this too. If Kate doesn't receive TWRP, I'd choose Kenzo, as it has such strong dev support. I use XMIUI and/or MIUI Tweaks too, and without TWRP and root, I couldn't install them.
It would be nice to have Marshmallow and band 28, but not at the expense of not having TWRP and root.
Just to bring this thread to a close, software-wise Kate is exactly the same as Kenzo apart from it uses a different modem. Now mine has been reflashed it can use all same ROMs as Kenzo etc.

[SOLVED] Is it safe to flash a KII-L22 rom on KII-L05 (Huawei GR5 Rogers Canada)?

Since I'm kind of disliking EMUI but love FlymeOS, I'm planning to flash the latter on my phone. I'm downloading the latest version from the official site, flymeos(dot)com.
However, it is listed under Honor 5X, and described as compatible with KIW-L24 / L22 / L21, KII-L23 / L22 / L2 (no mention of KII-L05).
I did some research and KII-L22 / 23 seem practically identical to the L05, in fact certain sites do not even bother to make a distinction between them when describing the specs.
So, can I safely flash this version of Flyme on my device?
Thanks in advance.

If you are on Volte firmware your have to downgrade to non volte firmware before going to custom rom..
I think it for all honor 5x..
Give it a try but do not forget to make full backup before flashing rom.
Hey, thank you for your answer!

So I gave it a try and got error 7. Maybe it really isn't compatible after all?
Btw here is something else I noticed on their forum page: "The rom is based on android6.0 and it is necessary to flash the based rom", and they provide a link to this based rom, it's for an Indian version of the Honor 5X KIW-L22. I'm quite wary of flashing it though (again, due to the difference in device version). Do you think that it would be absolutely necessary?
In the meantime, I successfully flashed LineageOS. Actually really liking it so far, might as well just keep that if I can get everything to work the way I want.

I don't understand. If you have lineage os running, you shouldn't have problems installing flyme.

It's the very first time I encounter error 7 so I don't know, but it is what it is.
Either way, I set up Lineage to my liking and everything seems to work, so at this point the only purpose of flashing Flyme would be aesthetics, though I doubt it's worth the risk and the time. So I'll mark the thread as solved.

Hi there,
First of all, when you say "this rom", which one are you referring to, Flyme, Lineage? They are NOT stock roms for Huawei/Honor devices. The stock for Huawei is EMUI.
I don't know what model number the Philippinean version of the Honor 5X has, but im pretty sure Lineage for kiwi (Honor 5X codename) is universal across device versions. As for Flyme, it installed fine (eventually) on my Canadian version of the phone without being inteded for it, but it was incredibly buggy and unstable, absolutely unusable for daily tasks.
If you feel you must flash a custom rom, go with Resurrection Remix. Don't touch Lineage with a 10 foot pole (I know I wrote above that I was loving it, but shortly after that I discovered a serious bug in it, basically the thing did something to my SD card making it act as if it was ejected after each reboot, I had to reformat it to get it to work properly again). RR has an interface nearly identical to Lineage, but vastly more options and the SD bug isn't there.
However, from personal experience with two different devices, my advice is to avoid custom roms altogether and always stick with the stock. Even the best custom roms like RR are still less optimized for any given device and therefore will function worse than even the crappiest stock rom, such as Honor 5X's EMUI. Since I wrote my original post I tested over 10 different roms, settling eventually for RR but then was not able to stand using even that for longer than a month. The problems were mostly minor annoyances, but when they all added up it drove me crazy.
You say that your phone doesn't have cellular signal, what happened that made it lose it? Depending on what the problem is, it may not even be correctable by flashing a different rom.

The majority of roms don't cover all the mobile frequencies. I use the KII-L22 in Australia and have the same problem.
I'm still to find a rom that has the mobile frequency B8 included.

Really? For me if there was one problem that I never got with any of the roms, it was roms not supporting my frequencies. Lineage, RR, and whatever other ones I've tried. The only exception was this one: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ho...m-honor-5x-flyme-os-lollipop-flyme-5-t3429879
No cellular signal at all was working on it for me though not even on 3G or 2G, so I assume there's a bug of some kind in it.
Currently I'm on this rom: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/development/stable-flyme-6-7-5-19r-honor-5x-t3615084
It's quite good for being a custom rom, but it takes A LOT of fiddling to get everything to work properly. It says the rom is for KIW-AL10, but it works just fine on my KII-L05, even though those variants do not normally share the same bands.

I do have some mobile reception. Mobile carrier has locked 4G. My carrier uses B8. The roms don't seem to have frequency B8.
I can see why you don't have problems, your model doesn't use B8

The LTE bands in the KII-L05 are B 2, 4, 5, 7. In the KIW-AL10 they are B 1, 3, 38, 39, 40, 41. As you can see, none of them overlap. Yet all the bands in my KII-L05 work perfectly fine on a rom intended for the KIW-AL10, so your reception issues are not caused by the roms.
All I know is factory rom - full signal strength. Every custom rom I tried - 2 bars

So then why don't you just stick with the stock rom? Honestly, finding a good custom rom where everything would just work is next to impossible. In my experience, at least. Or you can give the rom I'm currently using a try (I linked it in a post above), it may do the trick, you never know (but don't blame me if it breaks your phone ).

Why does anyone use a custom rom? Because stock is usually rubbish.
Thank you for the link to the rom. I will have a look and if I try it, i will let you know how it goes.

Question Custom rom?

Hello everyone I'm new here. I would like to know if someone's working on a custom rom for this phone. I'm new to MIUI and honestly it sucks and it would be good to know if I'm stuck with it for 2 or so years.

Probably no one. I'm skeptical about a custom rom for Renoir since his production was stopped and will be launched with another chipset.

What chipset? Mediatek dimensity ?
Since QUALCOMM 780 chipset production stopped . Are rumor's the 2 new MI 11 lite 5G NE will appear with 778G chipset with Mona and Lisa name's.

Why they stopped production?
Anyways hopes are not all down as you can flash a GSI (generic system image, searchable on google)
And also, galaxy tab original P7500 also have it's production stopped, and now, it gets android 8.0 unofficially
Well i will call it a mi 11 lite lite 5g as it is slightly tuned down.
But from xiaomi's trend most likely it will be called 'mi 11 lite 5G reloaded'

That's unfortunate :/. Maybe it's possible to use GSI ROM for this phone? And if so are there any drawbacks, I heard GSI's are not the most stable

Unofficially to make room for Snapdragon 888 on production lines. Because is used in many phones and is very requested , 780 was used only in Mi 11 lite.
I'm saying that since number of sell Renoir is low, the possibly of a custom developer to have it is low . I hope I'm wrong since i have this phone.
No man, you're right, we'll be stuck in the vacuum.

Is there released kernel sources?
If yes then if someone decided hey I want to donate my phone to a dev then we may get custom ROMs. We may also get blind- builded
custom ROMs.
If no sources, we won't get custom ROMs, same as the 20 dollar mediatek cheap phones.
Damnit, I bought this Xiaomi phone in the hope there will be a custom rom. My Redmi 5 got excellent rom support. But reading that sales are low and to make room for other Snapdragon soc's makes me not optimistic.
My Galaxy A50 that I used for 2 years also got no rom support, but that was mainly because the security in Knoxx. I got used to that.
The Lite 11 4G version of this phone have a few custom roms! Why the 5G not?!!
GSI is enough nowadays. I added patch to phh-treble and works good

That's for the 4g version of the phone. It's totally incompatible with the 5g version.

Over a month before you asked this many news sites had posted about the chip shortage, why 780G phones are so rare and why manufacturers like Xiaomi are going to circumvent the problem by switching to 778G.
Xiaomi will release the new Mi 11 Lite NE 5G tomorrow, using the 778G produced by TSMC using N6 unlike the 780G which is produced by Samsung using 5LPE.
