[MODEM][VoLTE] Lollipop Firmware - Xiaomi Redmi 2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other

Hi guys!
After numerous requests, i have made a flashable zip package to install Lollipop modem and firmware on your Xiaomi Redmi 2.
IMPORTANT!
Make sure you make backups of Firmware, EFS and Persist before flashing! I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR DATA LOSS IF YOU GO FORWARD WITHOUT TAKING PROPER BACKUPS WITH SHA1 VERIFICATION
Not Recommended for Lollipop Custom ROMs /MiUi KK
For Chinese Variants, flash the zip marked China
For Global Variants, flash the zip marked Global
DOWNLOAD!
MODEMS - Google Drive
drive.google.com
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Download the zip package from the link below.
Boot to TWRP/MiRecovery and Flash the suitable zip package.
Reboot! Initial boot may take longer time
F. A. Q
What does this package do?
This package updates your modem and firmware to the latest version without going thru a full MiUi LP flash.
Why should I flash this package?
Lollipop Modem is REQUIRED for VoLTE services. It may / may not help fix Battery drain or Random reboots.
I'm having issues! Help!
Restore your backup and ask help on this thread while mentioning your Baseband version and Phone variant.
Will it brick my device?
No. Slight chance if you're not careful. Make sure you have enough charge.
Is this modem compatible with *** phone?
It is ONLY compatible with Xiaomi Redmi 2 / 2 Prime
How's the cannoli at Marco's Bistro?
Stale as hell!
FOR TESTERS!
Mi Recovery compatibility is not checked yet.

Make sure your ROM developer has pushed VoLTE blobs to the source. VoLTE on marshmallow works on CM,RR,Mokee..
I'd recommend flashing a compatible Nougat build since they're more up to date and have explicit VoLTE support.

I flashed the Cardinal Nougat rom still it did not showed voLTE in status bar and i could not make any call with it. Even before i flash both stable and lastest developer lollipop roms of Redmi 2 prime but i didn't get the voLTE option there in sim and network settings. Can you help me how to enable voLTE in redmi 2. I have tried almost every possible method still it didn't work for me.

Actually, I had 2014813 variant running Aicp 12.1 by sawrav. Strangely, in aicp 12.1, my phone read as 2014811. Then i install chinese firmware and my phone lost signal. Any idea?

Oh man....so many questions.
I flashed thunder miui 6.10.20 and after that flashed xtrvbeta 6.12.8.
Look....just flash the latest version(xtvrBETA) and u will get volte supported firmware.
I told u I was on miui global when I bought the phone and it was KitKat,can't remember the version.
Never gone to global or developers version except miui by gkalen.
The required recovery can be found on thunder miui thread.
Just be sure that ur recovery and ROM is according to phones model.See the first post.U will get everything. Link
Mine is 2014818.

VoLTE on AOSP

Does any AOSP Marshmallow rom supports VoLTE ?
I'm to interested in knowing thks, Just got the phone and want to use cm/aosp but Volte should work on it
Sent from my Redmi Note 3 using Tapatalk
I think it doesn't work on any non 5.1MIUI ROM, even the 6.0 miui doesn't have VoLTE. But I read somewhere that flashing the modem of 5.1 miui on aosp roms brings back volte. can anyone confirm?

No VoLTE for now. Xiaomi must release proper sources for marshmallow, which is not gonna happen soon, because even they have trouble figuring out a way to make it work in Marshmallow version of MIUI

need cm 13 with volte

Is there any cm marshmallow ROM with voLTE....????
Im afraid no cm13 have volte. But aosp have volte. You could try aosp qualcomm mm or aosp 5.1.1 .

Looks like it, Volte doesn't works if you're on Roaming. I read this several times on different Roms threads. It is bug I guess.
Sent from Mido using Tapatalk
but in stock miui volte works even in roaming
Ofc, it's a bug on Custom Roms.
@sachin n i am running rr by alexey too . I too have a roaming sim @Annabathina . My service provider is jio . I too had no volte issue when i Flashed the rr rom but then just adding a new apn with "bearer as LTE " solved the issue . Just reboot once after changing apn .
Oic. Thanks for the tutorial.
what is the APN.........?
which "APN" do I need to add .....? @sachin n
steps
1. Go to settings > sim cards > jio settings > preferred nework type and set it to LTE
2. Go to settings > sim cards > jio settings > Access point name ( APN) and creat a new APN as LTE
3. set that LTE APN as default
Thank you @Boomshiva it works in RR and I need to test weather it was working in other roms

What is the best ROM for Redmi Note 3?

I'm very frustated with MIUI because of all the bloatware and ads. I want to flash an 8.1 Oreo/ 9.0 Pie ROM on my Kenzo. I know that PIE roms are a bit unstable for Kenzo right now. I'm new here so, plesse suggest a good rom. I don't game at all. I use it for call and other media consuming purposes. Thanks in advance.

Incorrect most recently updated oreo roms have fixed the data drain. Like Cardinal and Bootleggers. Right now I would suggest using oreo before pie if you want a newer android experience. If you don't care about the visuals just flash cm13 by Gizmos, by far the best rom on kenzo.

Best ROM with hardware encryption support?

After flashing the latest Havoc OS and finding out the encryption doesn't work, I've been told that no Pie ROM supports it on the device.
I tried two Oreo ROMs and the encryption wouldn't work either.
What's the most up to date / best ROM that does support hardware encryption?

Thanks but updating from the official MIUI ROM via OTA bricked the device, which is the reason I've been using custom ROMs.
It is an option but I would prefer one that is not MIUI-based.

Custom rom doesnt support good encryption. Also Noone cares encryption. Android is already safe enough to use with privacy. Just dont install unknown apps outside store.
LineageOS 7.1.1 (now 7.1.2) supports hardware encryption and is super stable and fast. I've been using it since over a year. There is no official build anymore because the maintainer at LineageOS resigned. But there are unofficial builds provided by "gitsdb" here in the forum.

How to fix phone encryption issue on Redmi note 3 & Pie
hi @RoseTheFlower, the encryption issue on kenzo comes from the latest versions of the recovery and root apps not working properly.
Use TWRP 3.2.3-0 with Magisk 19.2 and you will be able to encrypt your Havoc OS Pie.
Check these two posts for more details on the issue: #3248 and #3256
Good luck!
P.S. You can help by reporting this to the TWRP maintainer for kenzo @TheStrix (his github & email)

for these two points (encryption & up to date) you can try /e/ OS, they officially support kenzo, and have OTA updates. The ROM is a fork of LOS 14.1 (Android 7.1.2 Nougat) so it is very stable, and it supports encryption.
