Xiaomi redmi note 4 "problem" - Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers

Hi, I need some help with my device redmi note 4. Recently I was able to install TWRP and root, and with that I installed one of those hacking tools, game killer and game hacker. I gave them root permission and accepted some of the things they needed, until they asked for the floating icon thing, where I went to all the permissions of the application and I didn't found it, and when I saw that I rembered that, even before I unlocked the bootloader and all, I never had the floating messenger bubble, that I had in older devices. Does that mean that the MIUI I have right now, that it is development ROM MIUI 9 8.5.25, does not support those floating icons? And if it does support, how do I activate it?
I would really want to know this, thanks in advance.

Redmi Note 3 32GB Mediatek version - unlock bootloader

Hi, I need help. My girlfriend bought a Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 32GB / 3GB RAM Mediatek Helio X10 version.
I want to upgrade the firmware because it needs an upgrade. Since she bought it, February, it didn't updated one single time, and it has some bugs that upset her. So, here is the problem.
I already asked for permission from Xiaomi to unlock the bootloader, and already got it. When I tried to unlock, got the 50% problem (Current account is different from the account info on the device). Since then, tried to flash (from the Updater App) the developer ROM, also with no success (couldn't verify package).
The last option, I believe I have, is to manually flash (using MI FLASH software) the developer ROM and after that, unlock the bootloader to finally install the MIUI 8.0 (that's the goal of all this, with the unlocked bootloader).
So, how can I do this? Suggestions, tips, tutorials, guides or experiences, everything is welcome!
You have to go to latest Beta/developer Version and the Unlock should work...
Else just Update miui, because maybe the Bugs are fixed

To unlock the bootloader, you must have the MIUI developer installed on the device

I already solved it by 'hard flashing" the miUI 8... because that's the version she wanted. Didn't try to flash the miUI 6 [developer] because I was lazy, but mainly because I didn't see any gains for her from doing it [unlocking the bootloader].
Thank you 2 for the replies!
Hi Guys,
I've been searching for 2 days now for a clear guide on how to unlock the bootloader for the Mediatek version and haven't found anything other than the official way. Can someone point me in the right direction please?
Thanks.

To avoid any confusion go to Play Store and download an app called "Device info HW" or other similar of your preference, open it and go to section system, then search for Product.
Oficial twrp for vince is available in this forum as a lot of custom roms.
Hi all, just a clarification, i have Redmi Note 5, why this thread is unified? Does it means roms for "vince" and "whyred" are the same?
No, this forum is for Redmi Note 5 and Redmi 5 Plus both with codename vince.
Redmi Note 5 Pro is known in China like Redmi Note 5 (whyred)
Redmi 5 Plus is known in India as Redmi Note 5 too (vince); This causes the confusion both receives same name depending from where they comes (or where they were released)
Whyred (snapdragon 636) has other specs than vince (625)

Thank you for the info on that. However, I am living in China and my Redmi Note 5 was bought here, so it is a lot of trouble to get the google play store and set up my VPN before flashing the phone with a new ROM. Is there another way to see what the phone name really is?
Also, any thoughts on my firmware question?
Thank you so much for the help!

Then most probably should be Redmi Note 5 pro, if you are rooted go with a root file explorer to system in root directory and find the build.prop file and open it in your device with any text viewer and find the line ro.build.product or something with word product, you will see vince or whyred

I was able to find another app in the Xiaomi app store that showed this info. My phone is whyred. The app name was Quick System info PRO, if others need to do the same. Thank you for the help!
Just wondering now about if I need to bother about including firmware when installing gapps and a custom ROM. Any thoughts on this?
Thanks,!

I'm not sure if I understood correctly, some roms need to be installed also the firmware in some cases and for aosp based roms most of times you need to flash the gapps too but don't worry about. Here is the forum for you specific model https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-5-pro and when you find a rom that matches with your preferences in the thread these steps might to be explained

Anyway to spoof my device to a Note 9 or Galaxy Tab S4?

Obviously I want that sick galaxy skin for fortnite. I know there is a way to make your device show up as something different but does that require root? It doesn't have to be permanent, just active while I turn on fortnite.
You can spoof your phone but it does require root

That probably won't work as you won't have access to the Galaxy Apps store

ofc there is a way to do it and it's quite easy but I'm not going to tell you because it's a literal 30 second google search away, you didn't need to create a thread
I might a lot of hate for bunping this but i need answers.

Just did this and installed the fortnite installer but it said device not supported
Fortnite for Android is built in ARM64 (armV8) code however NoxPlayer or any other emulator runs on armeabi-v7a (armV7) architecture so it is incompatible.
In order to spoof the device to make it look like something else you have to root the device and edit the build.prop file.
It is also true that you can find this using a Google Search. I would suggest those who have rooted and wish to spoof a device do some reading on what they need to do. It isn't that hard but to find what lines that need to be edited (and with what to use for the edit) in the build.prop will depend on what you want to spoof the device as.
There isn't any other way to make this happen without having rooted the phone. In the case of Snapdraon Galaxy S9+ owners there is no root method so you can't spoof your phone to be another. For Exynos Galaxy S9+ users follow the tutorials on the forum.
Keep in mind that if your wanting to spoof the device just for a skin you also have the risk of tripping the knox counter and all the related consequences.
to my understanding the skin was only available to preorders anyways

I install pixel experience 9.0

After restarting it again install all setup , when restore setup come , it's restart again and again,
This problem comes after restart REDMI NOTE3
AFTER FACING ALL PROBLEM I DONE RESTORE FACTORY RESET AND AGAIN REINSTALL THEN IT WORKS BUT AFTER RESTARTING I FACING ABOVE PROBLEM AGAIN
Please give me solution
1 st your posting in development thread which is not the right place for your query.
2nd Which device have you this is for Mediatek devices and there is not a Pie rom for them.
3rd Look at PE Thread and you would see it is a problem with the rom, flashing the VoLTE patch fixes it. Or wait for rom update.
Oh dear - you've done goofed up - Hennessey-based devices (Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 - MediaTek Edition) doesn't get anywhere near as much development as the Kenzo-Kate devices (Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 - Qualcomm Snapdragon 2GB/3GB RAM Editions), and Android Pie isn't even developed for the MediaTek version of the phone.

Don't go around asking for stuff, we don't get paid for this, you caused a problem, you're the one who needs to fix it, no one has any obligation to help.
That said, if you had read the thread instead of just downloading the ROM you'd have noticed tons of people with the same problem and all have been given the same solution, flash the VoLTE fix.
Also, you posted on the wrong forum, this one is for mediatek based devices.
Guys, don't mind to reply OP. This man doesn't know how to read properly

No you don't install Pixel Experience 9.0. It isn't available for this device (henessy).
If you have kenzo or kate, then you want the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] forum.

What's the state of the Mate 10?

I just got a Mate 10 and I wanted to know the state of the phone before touching anything: just a quick summary.
Do you have to unlock the bootloader to install stuff like TWRP? I wanted to at least root it to install Titanium Backup and remove a bit of bloatware. If so, can anyone share the latest tutorial? I've seen lots of them but I don't really know which one is up to date
Is it advised to install a custom ROM or is EMUI good enough? I was previously using a Redmi Note 3 with MIUI.
Is it known if this phone will get Android Q by any chance? Just curious
Thanks!!

Well, for me EMUI is very ok. I have a Mate 9 and Mate 10 Pro.
I used to flash custom ROMs on weekly basis (LG G2, G3, V10 & G5). Maybe it's laziness or the volatile nature of Kirin SoC and its difficulty in flashing but I've decided against doing it.
Bottom line is that I'm more than happy with EMUI especially 9

First question
-yes you have to unlock the bootloader in order to root phone( not recommended if you not sure what you doing because of very easy hard brick possibilities)
Second
-custom rom or Emui that is up 2 you, you like or don't like Emui and
Third
- Android Q is far far far away so IMO that is highly unlikely
Thanks!
I'll stick to EMUI, it's great so far and I don't want to mess anything up.
