Signal Issue - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers

Hi, I just bought an Redmi Note 5 Pro 6/64 on AliExpress, and it came with an unlocked bootloader and what it seemed to the a global ROM of MIUI. I didn't update because of ARB, since I read that it could brick my device, and it was ARB 3 so I didn't wanted to flash anything official. So I installed TWRP and flashed custom ROMs, but it seems that on every ROM I install I get no signal detected, I have to manually toggle a lot the network toggles to MAYBE get my Redmi Note 5 Pro to pickup signal. I'm just wondering if anyone has gone through this and how did you fixed it? I don't really want to flash the official global ROM to get it fixed properly. Thanks.

What version of MIUI are you on? You can check the version and flash the firmware only for that version. That should, in theory, fix any signal issue you got.

Right now I'm on Masik X 1.0, but it also happens in every aosp based ROM.

yes, because firmware isn't rom dependant. Like i've said, check if you're on ARB4 or 3 and flash a firmware depending on the result (be very careful).

Can I install MIUI 8.7.26 (MIUI10) without worrying about ARB?

I have a Redmi Note 5 Global with MIUI 9.5.19, and I want to install 8.7.26 (MIUI10) because I can't unlock my bootloader yet (14 days to go).
My question is: can I do that safely without bricking my device? And can I go back to MIUI 9.5.19 if I wanted to?
Thanks!
I did same thing and it worked flawlessly.

You have a locked bootloader? You used a recovery ROM or a fastboot ROM (MiFlash tool)?
Thanks!

Just update through the phones settings with the zip file. You might need to try different MIUI 10 versions. There is always only one version you can go to from your current MIUI 9 version. Took me 4 tries but now it's working great

I flashed MIUI 8.7.26 through the method you mentioned without issues, but it has so many bugs, especially with notifications on lockscreen that bother me so much. Do you know if I can revert back to global stable MIUI 9 with the same method without issues with ARB?

Call problems

I ordered my Mi Max 3 from TradingShenzhen and chose the option to have them install the xiaomi.eu ROM. It arrived with TWRP installed, an unlocked bootloader, and xiaomi.eu MIUI 10 v. 8.7.26 installed. I downloaded the most recent xiaomi.eu MIUI 10 ROM (v. 8.8.23) and flashed it in TWRP.
Everything on the phone is working fine except for a persistent problem with calls. Within about 40 seconds of being in a phone call (whether on the phone or through the car's bluetooth) the party on the other side complains that my voice has suddenly changed to being very "tinny" and "robotic" and that they can't understand me. I hear them fine. At all times my signal strength is excellent. Depending on where in the city I am I may be on LTE or LTE+ with four or five bars but the problem persists.
Does this sound like a firmware issue or did I get a bad phone?

Try this fix from @ice0901: Hey I fixed it. Found a post on a thread that will enable VoLTE on Xiaomi Phones. Apparently they disabled VoLTE starting with MiUi 9 due to lack of certifications in certain countries, the US being one of them. To activate it dial *#*#86583#*#*
Thank you for your note. I used the secret code and activated VoLTE, but the problem persists. I called my telecom this morning and a few seconds into the call with tech support the chap said: "your voice has become distorted - I can't hear you" and then he hung up! I was thinking about using fastboot to flash the China Stable and then reflash the xiaomi.eu to see if that clears up the problem, but I am concerned about the announcement that beginning with MIUI 10 v. 8.8.23 "anti-rollback" has been activated on the Mi Max 3 and that you will brick your device if you attempt to downgrade. I also read on the xiaomi.eu forums that xiaomi.eu "disables" the anti-rollback features of the China development ROMs they use. Any thoughts on how to proceed?

Happy to help! Sorry you're going through so much headache. I would suggest starting over as you mentioned and doing the following from @omer1919's instructions from his nitrogen rom thread:
"I suggest to start clean again by flashing 8.8.9 fastboot and then follow the full installation instructions on op post
Installation Instructions:
- Make sure your bootloader is unlocked!
- Boot to fastboot mode
- Format your data to make sure that the installation will be clear using the command: fastboot format userdata
- Flash TWRP Recovery
- Boot to TWRP recovery
- Mount all the possible partitions
- Wipe your data,cache,Internal storage,dalvik DONT WIPE SYSTEM OR YOU WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE
- Using MTP or OTG copy the xiaomi.eu rom to your device
- Flash the Xiaomi.eu rom
- Wipe cache and dalvik
- Reboot"
Can you tell us what carrier you are using? I also bout from trading Shenzen with the xiaomi.eu rom installed and had call problems at first. First thing I did was follow the advice from this thread. Flash the chinese fastboot then flash the latest xiaomi.eu rom. Then I enable voLTE by typing *#*#86583#*#* into the browser and now my calls work great!
My carrier is Telus (Canada). I followed the advice in the thread you linked (flashed China stable, re-flashed TWRP, etc.) then flashed xiaomi.eu 8.8.23 and this time my call problems were even worse. When I went to dial anyone the phone app would simply say (failed to connect). So I then flashed xiaomi.eu 8.8.9 which other Mi Max 3 users have commented is trouble free, and so far I've been making calls for the past hour to different landlines and mobiles and no call problems. Perhaps there is a problem with 8.8.23, but it is odd that more people haven't had my problems using that version.
UPDATE:
I have now had several messages from other Mi Max 3 users that 8.8.23 caused serious call issues and that reverting to 8.8.9 fixed all their problems. I have now had two days trouble free after reverting to 8.8.9 so I will wait for other reports before considering today's release of 8.8.30 (if it isn't broken why fix it). Besides, MIUI 10 beta testing is now complete for several devices so Xiaomi has begun releasing China Stable MIUI 10 ROMs as of today. I downloaded and flashed the China Stable MIUI ROM for my Mi MIX today and it is working great (despite the odd annoying menu in Chinese). Can't wait for the developers at xiaomi.eu to release their version of the China Stable MIUI 10 ROMs. If the Mi MIX (an older device) has a China Stable MIUI 10 ROM it can't be long before our Mi Max 3s get the stable version as well.
For those of you with call problems using xiaomi.eu MIUI 10 v. 8.8.23 finally an explanation from xiaomi.eu as to the cause. Xiaomi.eu has always 'stripped' the anti-rollback feature from China developer ROMs that they translate into European languages. For the Mi Max 3, 8.8.23 was the first China ROM issued with arb, so in their release xiaomi.eu stripped this feature from the firmware of the ROM. After so many complaints they realized that beginning with 8.8.23 a new modem (required for calls) was imbedded with the anti-rollback feature of that ROM, and by stripping the arb from the firmware you wound up with a ROM that included a modem that didn't work. So on this week's release, 8.8.30, they have left the anti-rollback feature in place, thus allowing the new modem in the firmware to permit normal calls. So you basically have two choices if you stay with xiaomi.eu on this phone - stay on 8.8.9 which is stable and has no anti-rollback protection, or upgrade to 8.8.30 but thereafter brick your phone if you attempt to re-flash an older version.
...then someone try 8.8.30 ? Resolved call problem ?
Can I reverse my actual rom 8.8.23 to 8.8.9 ?
Total disappointed about mi max 3.Bought from mi global store with global rom.When receive it, the calls don't work.I was hijacked to use custom buggy software for flashing rooting and other ****s to do, if i want to use max 3 normally, because there is no official global rom.Never again xiaomi, never.......

First: mi global store is not official Xiaomi store, just a chinese guy, which sell Xiaomi devices from China.
Second: they unlock bootloader unofficial, which is a big problem.
In other words, you got a chinese Mi Max 3, with unofficial unlock bootloader and fake ROM. Buy official global version and anything works perfect out of box.
Plz how can I get official global ROM for my mi max 3. I am in Nigeria and bought the unlocked global version of the phone last two months, August. I need Ur help, pls

[Q] I have a mountain of questions before I decide to buy this phone :)

Hello everyone,
I have got a mountain of questions that arised from reading the forum and a lot of different topics.
I'll have numbers on them, so if you can/want to only answer a few of them you can refer to the number.
1. I've read about this ARB quite a lot, what's the deal with that if I want to go to a custom rom?
2. I understood that it matters where to buy the device in terms of an unlocked bootloader (TradingShenzen seems like a good place to start). But if I can't get my hands on a phone with unlocked bootloader, can I unlock it myself?
3. I'd like to go with the xiaomi.eu rom, any advice on how to get there? What I mean is, should I choose a CN model or is a Global model better, does it matter? What steps to take regarding TWRP and avoiding ARB, etc.
4. What does GSI stand for? I haven't found any thread explaining what that means, and I'm quite new to xiaomi devices (would be my first one).
5. I've also seen that there are quite a few different variants of this device, do the roms for it just work on all of them or do I need to check if the model is supported? (That seems to be a bit different to other phone vendors)
That's it for now, please don't kill me if some of the things have been answered before, I haven't found an answer to the questions so far (the infos that I got so far were insufficient)
Cheers,
Zacki
1 Google introduced ARB, a safeguard to not create an older version of the system from the currently released. If you install the official older version of the system for a new one, you will wall your phone.
Does not apply to Custom ROM
2 You can unblock the bootloader yourself on the official xiaomi website. It takes about 300 hours
3 unlock the bootloader, install recovery, install xiaomi.eu. Global rom is more stable, but xiaomi.eu has more personalization options. Recently, xiaomi.eu does not cause problems on Mi Max3, but it causes problems on other models.
4 GSI https://source.android.com/setup/build/gsi
5 Mi Max3 Global 4gb RAM 64gb internal memory,
Mi Max China 6gb RAM 128gb internal memory
You can install the Global ROM on the china version if you have unlocked the boootloader, and remember about the ARB. Otherwise, you will wall your phone
The Global version is popular.

Thanks for your reply.
@1. Interesting to see what Google is up to with things like this...why would they want this?
@2. Thanks, but whoa that's quite some time...and I guess I can only trigger the 300h AFTER I bought the phone, right? (Why so many hours actually...?)
@3. I've read about the changes they made to the rom and I like that. But what do you mean with being "less stable" than the global rom? In what way? I'd like to use that as my daily driver if I get it (not the weekly builds of course).
@4. Will have a look, thanks :good:
@5. I was actually looking at the 6GB/128GB version of the phone, if I can convince my wife to allow me to spend ~260€ on a phone (I'm currently a student ).
In this case, I'd already have an unlocked bootloader and if I want to install the rom from xiaomi.eu, there should be no problem, right? Also regarding ARB, this should be fine, right?
And in what ways are the CN and the Global versions different other than the rom? Are there differences for the supported bands or radios? I live in Austria, can I use the CN model here without any downside?
Edit: I'm having a look at this particular model, it would be available with CN firmware or with Global firmware. Would that still account as CN model in this case?

Google thinks people should use the latest system because it provides better security.
Xiaomi introduced a long wait time to unlock the bootloader, because dishonest sellers offered CN versions outside of China and India by installing the Global system on it. The CN version is only for China and India.
Xiaomi.eu provides its system every week. Contains various patches and additions. Sometimes something does not work, payments, BT paired in the car, notifications etc. In my phone, the last two versions do not work Gmail notifications. In today's version, people write that OK Google is not working.
If you unlock the bootloader, you can install xiaomi.eu. The ARB will be kept at the level of the official system you had.
The CN system contains only Chinese and English. It does not offer Google Play, it also contains full Chinese software.
Version 6/128 is only a CN model. If the seller offers with the Global system, it means that he has unlocked the bootloader and installed the Global system. You naturally lose the Xiaomi warranty.

So the xiaomi.eu roms don't have any of that ARB stuff, good to know. Could I technically install an older version of that custom rom without triggering the ARB or is that not possible? Just so I understand that.
And how is that with other custom roms? I've read in some threads that you have to make sure you have the correct ARB if you want to flash that particular rom, why that?

I'm not worried about the warranty but more about the specifics of the device. Is the CN model different in any way that it may not work properly with the providers in europe? Or things like that?
And sadly that vendor does not seem to have that version in stock at the moment, so I was thinking of getting the regular CN version of the device, that's why I'm asking
As for xiaomi.eu it does not contain ARB, but there are exceptions. If the phone gets an update to android 9 - xiaomi.eu must use the full original xiaomi firmware from ARB. The next versions on the same adroid no longer have files responsible for ARB.
Current level of ARB = 4 from Oreo to Pie. What you can not do:
to install MIUI9,
to install Miui Global on a CN version phone with a locked bootloader
block in the bootloader if you have Miui Global on your CN
install Miui China on a Global phone and block the bootloader.
Custom GSI roms do not have an ARB, you can install anything.
Mi Max 3 in the CN version in addition to the system and memory does not differ from the specification from Global. Will work in Austria.

So if I get the phone with Android 8.1 and I want to get MIUI 10 (Android 9) I need to update with the official rom and then flash the xiaomi.eu rom?
And while we are at that, if I buy the CN variant, do I have to upgrade to PIE with the CN official rom or can I also do this with the Global rom to get ARB to 4?
And what't the deal with the developer versions of the original roms? I've read something about them but would that help me in any way?

it's not like that. You do not need to update the system. Xiaomi.eu is built with miui china developer extended to additional language translations, optimizations of softu for Europeans and a few additions that occur only in the Chinese version of the miui.
The whole system, firmware and kernel is miui china. If you install xiaomi.eu then you install the entire system, with the firmware and kernel. They are suitable for the android version.
You can have miui global Oreo and install xiaomi.eu Pie. Everything will be updated.
Miui Global is available in Stable and Dev versions. Dev-Beta is a development version released every week, contains the latest security, system fixes and errors detected in the Stable version, as well as new additions that are tested and do not always have to work correctly (like the development version of xiaomi.eu). As developers will correct detected errors, the stable version is created.
I just installed myself Global dev. I like it more than xiaomi.eu. Everything works so far. I usually use Global dev, and xiaomi.eu tests once in a while.

Interesting, because I've read somewhere that the normal and the dev version are more or less the same, just that you have to use the dev version in certain situations to "unbrick" because of something with the bootloader (but I don't actually remember the details).

If you have an unlocked bootloader then you install twrp and flash xiaomi.eu

Using dev to unlock the bootloader affected old phones. Currently, it does not matter. Rom useful as well as Stable.

Miflash is used to install only official miui Rom, you use the rom .Tgz package
It installs through Miflash with the cleaning option. It does not leave garbage in the old system.

If you have xiaomi.eu then china rom does not matter.
You can look for a seller who offers a phone with downloaded xiaomi.eu or miui global - to choose from
in the past, the sellers offered the china version.

Can anyone confirm this number of hours?
Cheers
Usually it is 720 hours, but I checked it every now and then, after 4 days, this time has decreased by half.
It's 100% not decreased or changed it 720 hours. Unless you had a mi account before an unlocked a phone

That is an interesting note. I created an account a few days ago, when I ordered the phone. Does this already count as "having an account before trying to unlock"?

Red Magic 5g China rom on Global Version

Hello, is it possible to flash the China rom to a global rom device without rooting?
If yes, where I can get this China rom?
And:
Will the China rom work with the EU Providers? (In my case its Germany)
Thanks for your answers.

Because I heared on the cn rom are more software features implemented.
Because face unlock and root without breaking fingerprint reader with the China ROM. I just tried installing Black Magic 5G on my global 12/256, and it's currently stuck in TWRP, won't flash anything correctly, won't boot, I'm assuming it's a global ROM issue, I'm trying to figure out how to flash the China ROM so I can start over and try Black Magic 5G again to see if that improves my results, so far I can't even get it to flash.
But if anyone wants it, I found a mega link to the latest China ROM that's suppose to be flashable through the factory recovery or TWRP. I haven't been able to get it working in TWRP, but if anyone wants to upload a TWRP backup of stock 12/256 global ROM so I can revert back to factory recovery and try flashing the China ROM that way, would be appreciated.

china rom will work on any region device.
Android 11 version of all 5G/S roms are universally able to flash.
you need to flash through system / local update, and you need to use the full rom zip.
...
features of China rom.
--China rom is bloated heavily with chinese apps that wont work in other regions due to needing a Nubia account ( which can only be made using a Chinese registered Phone number)
--these apps can be frozen / disabled.
there is no gapps / playstore. you need to install playstore seperately and then install the various google apps you use.
--stock rom you cannot change the launcher without doing some little tweaks.
-- NFC does NOT function in China rom, if you use NFC or want to use NFC, you will have to return to Global.
you do not need to root, or unlocked your device to change regions. just make sure you're locally updated to android 11, and install the region rom you wish through the system menu.

Hey. i have red magic 5G china version how i can put the global version

Hey. i have red magic 5G china version how i can put the global version
model: NX659J
there is any global official ROM available
THANK
Right now there is no official Global ROM for download, there is only the official China ROM from Nubia, and Black Magic 5G custom ROM which is a Global Clone based off of the official China ROM release, it's very close to being a Global Clone from what I've been seeing but haven't been able to get it working on my 12/256 Global. The only things I know so far is Black Magic 5G Doesn't have an App Drawer or NFC working yet, but given how ambitious the Dev is, it shouldn't be long before this is fixed.

Can you please share the link for these ROM's? Also, do you know if there is a developer doing a custom ROM right now? If it is, who is?
I was looking for something related to ROM's but I can't find anything.
Hello
Not sure why you want to change to global rom. But if it's for calls and text messages to work in the USA. You really just have to fastboot flash the non-hlos.bin file. Which is the modem. If it's cause you want nfc and your a cn version phone. Never gonna get it. Nfcis not on the cn version at all. And it's blocked by a script. I can give you the non-hlos.bin file I flashed to get global phone services. But a warning!!! If you flash this file you will not receive ota updates. And if you do. It will fail to update. Apparently when I flashed that modem. It changed how the phone recieves ota updates

Yes, you can, I also have the Chinese version smartphone, but had several problems, including in the 4g that had no network.
Simply download version 4.09 and put in the main directory of the phone, go to update, click on the three dots on top right and choose manual update, then you choose the downloaded file and update without problems.
