Hello I have a Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 and I am trying to put a custom ROM on it. Can I get some help with the following questions.....
--I cant find the TWRP file for the Redmi Note 5. I can only find listed the Redmi Note 5A and the Redmi Note 5 Pro. I have checked my phone and it is listed as a Redmi Note 5, even after unlocking the bootloader. Which can I use?
--Also, I will want to use Lineage 15.1 on this phone but I am not sure what firmware files I need to also include when flashing. Any help with this?
Thank you!!!!

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

Hi! I have recently rooted my Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X using TWRP. I would like to do more things in my phone, like changing the ROM or trying the XPosed . My question is if I must flash the lazyflasher-no-verity-opt-encrypt zip everytime I modify something, or if doing it only once is enough .
Thank you very much!
I have a rooted Xiaomi Redmi Note 4, Snapdragon variant. I have installed custom ROM ( Cardinal AOSP) on my device and rooted it.
Recently, I have used Build-prop editor to fake my device to be PIXEL 2 XL, to get Google Lens feature working on my Google assistant. I now wanna install Xposed Framework. Can someone tell me how and for every such thing, should I use builds for Redmi note 4 or for Pixel 2 XL?
P.S.: please don't suggest me to rename using build prop editor back to redmi note 4.

I don't have this device but, your best bet is to post this question within the following Q&A thread that's specific to your device.

Good Luck!

I DO NOT provide support via PM unless asked/requested by myself. PLEASE keep it in the threads where everyone can share.
I've not found any kind of solution for my query.
Can you please be more specific?

Only flash things made for your device. Not what ever you put in the build prop. Had you done your research you would understand this.
obviously, Redmi Note 4. Your device doesn't change by faking its name in build.prop
Thanks ?!
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.

So Reliance Jio recently announced their "Jio Note Series Offer" and I was wondering if it is possible to temporarily change my device model id to Redmi Note 7 and avail this offer. Can anyone guide me in this by directly explaining or sharing some relevant links? I am using Redmi Note 4x (3gb/32gb) and on Pixel Experience {Pie CAF} and rooted using Magisk.

Because you are on pie, Maybe you need to flash edXposed on your device! Just googling "edxposed on github", download it n flash! Its just like with xposed installer/framework! After installed it, search the " device changer" on edxposed manager, i dont know if its available on there, because i dont try edxposed yet. "Device changer is available on xposed installer so i can argue if it available on the edxposed repo too.
Okay I'll give that a try. Thanks
So hello, this is my first Xiaomi device before that I have always used Sony Xperia devices. So I am really confused about some things. I got the Redmi Note 9S 64 GB model. Acording to many web sites and some threads on XDA this model should be "curtana". But what I want to ask is about my "codename". So I am currently on MIUI global 11.0.4 (QJWTRXM) and I have looked up on XDA and many roms require you to have 11.0.7. So if I look up on https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/archive/firmware/curtana/ I only get the QJWMIXM global version. Can I flash QJWMIXM without any problems? My wait time will end tommorow and I will be able to unlock it. If anyone can help me out on this I would be very pleased...
Oh now after I post it I think have found something about it... QJWTRXM seems to be the Turkish version of the global rom. Which is outdated compared to it. So I think I can switch to the global rom since my device is 9S (curtana).

I was wondering if we can change the codename by OrangeFox Recovery
I think the same device is called Curtana for India Note 9 pro and Curtana_global for Note 9s . Any thoughts?
I would love to change my phone to curtana_global to get rid of device codename inconsistencies when switching between global and indian roms.
