Recently I ordered the RN3 but they sent the MTK one instead, thankfully the seller was happy to send me a replacement, now I got my replacement I am confused to what version of the SD650 ones it is, the MIUI build is "android 6.0.1 Global stable 7.3.7.0(MHRMIDE)" (I have the option to update to 7.5.2.0 MHRMIDE) which according to the official list is the special edition one, can I unlock the bootloader with the normal method and what's the difference I should keep in mind if I want to change the Rom?...

my post is merely to confirm whether my phone is indeed the "special edition (Kate)" or not, I can figure out what to do after that!...
Going by the information provided it certainly looks like the "Kate" model!
Check the dimensions of the device.
Special edition : Dimensions: 152.5 × 76 × 8.65 mm
All others : Dimensions: 149.98 × 75.96 × 8.75 mm
Limited custom rom support for it. No xiaomi.eu for example!

Another way to find out your model is this fastboot command!

hey guys,
if someone of you ownes a redmi note 3 pro special edition and have root and twrp(alka) installed please contact me!
Thanks
I'm searching too and guess for the same reason (Band 20/28? ).
User wtfjajaja claims that he has a kate but he is not responding to my pm or in his thread :/
Also I found a user on MIUI with a kate but he is not responding either. Maybe I'm not polite enough

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.

I think that I read on the first thread about the helio x10 source code that we can use NFNH kernel for both MM and N but as you can see, the kernel has a lot of bugs that I am sure they are going to be fixed. If NFNH fixes all the bugs in his kernel, we will have a Nougat rom. But I don't really care, as I am buying RN3Pro(Kenzo)in a month.

I think that Xiaomi doesn't ever update the android version for its MTK devices.
If you did take care about reading something about this devices before buying it, you should know that people are asking for marshmallow since long time on the official forum, but no one got an answer.
And now you are asking for nougat?

Sorry if I've been tough, I can understand what you are saying.
From what I can understand you bought your phone in your country; I think that you should have bought from a (good) chinese reseller, I think that the price are lower so with the same budget you can get a better device.
I bought a Mi5S from China at about the price I could buy a Xperia XA in my country.

There is no problem with MediaTek processors, there is a problem with MediaTek software.
I own four devices with MTK SOC and just 1 got an android version update, just because it was a quite new SOC.
Helio X10 is now old and MTK doesn't care to release new updates for it, and even if they released sw to build Marshmallow based ROM(*), Xiaomi just doesn't care to update it.
AFAIK Xiaomi never bumped the android version on its MTK based devices.
(*) from what I know, LeEco released a Marshmallow based ROM for a device using X10
EDIT:
If you want to try, there are some marshmallow ROM on needrom.
They are not fully working because the lack of drivers for some components, read notes, know bugs and comments from other people.
If you think you can live with their bug you could give it a try, but I suggest you to take a backup using TWRP.
Hello guys,
coming from iOS I changed to Android now, but I'm completely clueless.
I bought a new Redmi Note 4 and already got the unlocking permission and I also unlocked it as well.
However now I don't know how to continue from here. I want to have the latest OS/Android on my phone and it needs to have the german language as well.
Can someone show me the way I need to go to get it done?
Every help is much appreciated!

Ah, MTK variant = Less development!
You should've bought snapdragon variant if you're interested in installing custom Roms (ie; latest version or Android) etc etc.. Anyhow, MTK variant is also got some development. First you've to install TWRP recovery. Then good to go.
Development for MTK can be found here :- https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-4/development
Thank you man.
I've looked a tutorial up on youtube for this TWRP Recovery: youtube.com/watch?v=6F65ZuUOR7M

Dunno exactly, as I owns a snapdragon variant of Redmi-note-4.
Yep. You need to flash lazyflasher.zip if you wanna boot into system once you flash TWRP via fastboot command.
Check the above link, there are ROMs available, get a good one (you should ask users over there) flash it!
Good luck mayte! :good:

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'

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

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.
I can't be the only owner of the New RAZR 2022 Chinese version can I?
Didn't do my homework android auto is not baked in the Chinese rom so can't use it and I rely on it. So I unlocked bootloader and flashed magisk and installed AA as system app, will test in the morning. Really good phone had flip 3 before so wanted something different hoping there will be away to global rom when it's released. I flashed magisk boot.img to slot b anyone know if that's right? Thanks

Hey mate,
Thanks heaps for starting this convo.
I have the CN version of the Razr 2022 as well, and pretty keen to move to the Global ROM, cause there's just a few weird things happening/that don't quite work.
I notice the ROM you've flashed is for the x30 Pro and Edge, not the Razr specifically.
Does that make a difference?
No I didn't flash that rom and if you do say goodbye to your device.
You need to flash oneli rom choose here I only followed the guide on how to, know one would flash a ROM from a different device would they?

1. Does Google apps sync (contacts calendar sms etc), backup & restore, work after flashing EU ROM?
2. Are you able to continue using a chinese carrier sim on the newly flashed EU ROM?
3. Looking at the oneli folder of the firmware link james1089 so kindly shared;

Everything works just like it's an EU phone can't say if Chinese SIM will work although I'd be surprised if it doesn't. Contact sync can work on Chinese ROM also using an older Google contacts APK. Not sure what the other ROMs are but EU comes with no bloat what so ever just like a pixel phone.
Just wanted to say thanks to @james1089. I installed EU rom on my razr and I've never been so thankful for notifications. Everything seems to be working so far. The only thing is Netflix, but I don't use it much on the phone anyway. Anyway thanks again .
For those of you guys that are trying to install global rom, just follow what james1089 did. The only issue I ran across was unlocking bootloader and getting android SDK. Just YouTube it and then follow the rest of the guide as it.
