Which rom to use for upgrading miui 8.1 - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers

Hi,
So i came here to get some help from you. My brother is using a redmi note 3 pro ( kenzo), and he have never update his phone. So he is currently using a rom from september 2016 from xiaomi.eu.
I remember that we have to use a certain rom that will update the internal storage before upgrading to a newer rom but since everything is so old, i really don't find a tutorial or which rom to install to do that.
Maybe someone will remember which step i have to do.
Thanks you !!

Downgrade to MIUI 8.0.3.0 global stable?

Hi guys
Just received my redmi note 4 three days ago, set it up and installed all my apps and it was good, the version on it was MIUI 8.0.3.0 Global Stable, but it was asking me to update to 8.0.4.0, so I did, and ever since I noticed that the phone gets more hot, battery drains faster than it used to on previous version, and what's even worse, is the signal, it keeps always switching between 4G and 3G even if the signal coverage in my location is good (had the galaxy s7 before and it never did this), even on MIUI 8.0.3.0 it was a stable 4G all the time. So I performed a factory reset and started fresh, battery and heat are now good but I still have the bad signal issue. So I figured that I should downgrade to MIUI 8.0.3.0 and wait for 8.2 hoping that it won't have this issue. The question is how can I do that? Can I use the standard method of flashing using SP Flash Tool found here? http://en.miui.com/thread-370620-1-1.html
If you have any other solutions, please advise
Thank you!

Hello there!
You can use the method that you linked without any problem. SPFlashTool does not check for current firmware version so you can do a downgrade just fine. Make sure to follow the exact steps in MIUI Forums especially where it says wich files/images to flash to your device. Otherwise you may brick your Note 4.
If you are interested you could also try a custom ROM wich will give you a smoother and less buggy device. But you will need a bootloader unlock for that to work.

I've already downgraded, unlocked my bootloader and tried a couple of custom ROMs including Epic ROM and multirom, but I didn't like them very much, they had too many buys and the development for them is not very good.. Could you suggest a good custom ROM that isn't as buggy and has a good battery life? I'd appreciate it if you could.

I only tested one ROM yet and that would be that one linked here!
It works just fine at the moment. I have had it for 4 days now. I would also suggest flashing Magisk 11 or suhide.
There currently is a Bug with the middle Softkey wich is assigned to multitasking view and the google search at once. Someone has posted a fix for that wich i cant find currently because it was posted in MIUI forums and the user was banned. You can always try to swap the Softkeys yourself with an xposed module or a root app.

Tried this one before, it was good enough, and I was able to swap the buttons using Gravitybox.. I just flashed latest epic ROM yesterday and so far so good.. But I'll surely change it again in a few days (I love re-flashing ROMs)
Thanks

Any A-Z instructions on how to install custom ROMs on RN4 (Snapdragon) for noobs?

Hello XDA,
Apologies if this doesn't belong here.
So I've been using a Redmi Note 4 for almost a month now(my first time using MIUI). Used to have a Motorola Moto G 3rd gen before this and used a Moto X(first gen) before that, so I'm used to stock android only. A lot of of my friends used to tell me MIUI is really good but tbh I'm not enjoying it at all. I much prefer the stock android experience.
I told all of these to a friend and he suggested that I try using a custom ROM. Problem is I have no idea where to even start as I'm an absolute noob about all these stuff.
So what I'm looking for is any guide/step by step instructions to installing custom ROMs for noobs like me.
Also if anyone can suggest me what ROM I should install to get closer to a stock android experience. It should be a stable build.
Thanks beforehand and apologies for the poor English, not my native language.
Hi!
First unlock bootloader (it takes 3 days because Xiaomi protection).
Then flash TWRP recovery and... Hmmm just watch this video
After that you can chose custom ROM the best one for you is LineageOS copy it to device's storage, wipe all phone data/dalvik through TWRP and install Lineage. Remember to do MIUI backup

I need to know how to update my phone without odin.

Hello, I have a s9 plus from the att company, which is bought in usa, the official att page has never been updated to me, they say they are on android 9 but I only have the android that came from the factory.
Searching there from other XDA forums I found that through recovery I could update by update.zip files that if they work out of firmware. Science from there I have android 9 beta 4 and I really want to get the beta or upgrade to one that is not beta either android 8 or 9, without ODIN, my phone can't flash and I can't see the option of oem unlock. Odin doesn't work for me.
Anyone know where to get the update.zip of the new versions of android 9? .. I need a lot of help this had not happened to me with my previous phones ...

How do I correctly update my Magisk rooted Redmi Note 9 Pro (joyeuse)?

Goodevening everyone, I've rooted my phone two months ago and Xiaomi launched a new MIUI update for my device: V13.0.5.0.SJZEUXM, while my currently MIUI ROM is V13.0.2.0.SJZEUXM. I've been looking everywhere for guides and tutorials on how to correctly and safely update my phone while also keeping root with all my apps and settings intact. I have TWRP as custom recovery and using Xiaomi Firmware Updater to download MIUI's ROMs. I personally don't trust old guides as they might be outdated and I don't want to cause any damage or completely brick my main device. I hope the answers to this thread might also help others in the future. Thank you!
