Questions about firmware - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers

hi,
I stopped using miui after the first arb4 release so I'm on arb3 with various custom roms. I never flashed firmware since then and I'm not sure if I did right with that. should I ever flash firmware? is it even save? the thing is, I often got problems with the wifi and it spans through every single rom miui9 / 10 back then and all oreo / pie roms. could a newer firmware fix it or does all this rom have their own firmware which is enough?

Firmware = ROM.

I dont know, but i never cared much for ARB. I mean every rom released by xiaomi in future gonna be atleast ARB4, so i dont see a single reason for staying on ARB3. And even if you do want to downgrade to old miui rom of ARB3, its easy, just dont flash firmware and you good.

Note 5 marshmallow* Odin package.

Hey everyone. currently uploading the latest Odin package fresh off Samsung's kitchen
N920AUCU2APB2
That is the build number. It is the same as Verizon's note 5 MM update.
I do not have the ATT note 5 to test this on so when the file is uploaded I will need someone to confirm for me. Thanks!

That's confusing,how can it have a mm build # and be 5.1.1 ?
have a look.
the MM beta is N920AUCU2BPB2, this is N920AUCU2APB2. coincidentally, N920AUCU2APB2 is the version all these various root methods are based on.
so, is this maybe an unreleased update from ATT? I can't really see any differences, and the phone works fine. I'm almost tempted to try one of those root files, but frankly I'm a little tired of wiping my phone when it gets buggy like chimera did to it.
That's the purpose and the fun of testing

I've tested those root files posted here in 5.1.1. None of them work. I flashed back the stock boot image and my N920A is still working fine. But I don't want to flash this MM Odin files because I don't want to loose everything that I have downladed. I know I can backup first, and I already did, but I prefer to wait for the official MM upgrade from AT&T.

Damn well I guess it's just a "Performance" update with the same build number as other 6.0 roms. Sorry but thanks for trying

Dual VoLTE not working, and security patch was of March! And guess what? It's the same stable update which was leaked lately as I've noticed both have same file name.
ROM available for those interested
http://en.miui.com/getrom.php?r=341&m=yes&app=true
They mistakenly uploaded an old Rom. So, they pulled it back.
Hope they will upload the correct ROM soon.

Yep! Same old, same old1 Unfortunately this kind of behavior is not uncommon for Xiaomi! Why they need this is beyond me! Let me just say that for such a big company this is disappointing and definitely not something what give us confidence to buy their phones and other products in the future. I mean, what's the point?! You buy something and then you hope that they give you fair amount of updates on regular base?! Just around corner but never there! C'mon Xiaomi!!!
Anyone facing Battey and Performance issue ? How is battery life ? What all camera issues are there apart from Focus issue ?

MIUI camera is grainy. The quality has gone down. Battery life is fine. Haven't seen any drain yet.
hmmm... so if i understand correctly it's not recmmended to update to this ROM if you want a good working camera. How about if i use GCam? Would this help?

How to know that my bootloader is updated or outdated ???

Is the only way to know is getting blue screen while flashing new pie builds.
For latest Pie builds, one needs to have baseband of 1.70 CN, meaning anything over ZUI 3.5 baseband should work fine.
Mind you, since ZUI 3, ZUK Dev's for some wired reason stopped hiking the version information even though they are working and updating the baseband. So it's always stuck on 1.70 as information.
Thanks

Thanks for replying.
My baseband is 1.70 And the only thing that was on it was the zui 2.5 indian, which I then went to the customs roms. So I can install a 4.4 kernel rom?

Ok .. so I am on aex 6.1 straight from 3.18 kernel treble roms (NO QFIL done ever since I bought this phone). Just an Indian 2.5 ZUI user updated via OTA when I had purchased phone. (default baseband 1.76x)
Note that upon flashing 6.1 ROM and gapps (clean flash including vendor), i clicked 'wipe/cache dalvik' and then 'reboot now' where it stucked! I hard shutdown phone and powered it on again and voila AEX logo appeared and reached to setup screen. So far so good. No issues whatsoever! So can we say that Indian 2.5 ZUI is enough to boot 4.4 kernels, as already reported by many users?? Although I still see none of the devs recommends this, there may be some sensors / component issues by skipping qfil?? we shall see..

Friend If your phone has already been installed zui 2.5 indiana (then installed the customs roms) Do not need to upgrade (install the Chinese 3.5 by qpst). The basebands do not come out of 1.70x only have one that is different that is 1.76 (mine is zuk z2 + (131) in it I put the zui 2.5 indiana and then went to the customs roms and now I went to the roms with kernel 4.4 without installing zui 3.5

EU is mostly likely ahead of global stable, but dunno about global dev.
And im more curious about the locale related performance on the global rom, as EU rom is optimized for europe, such as GPS related settings. And you need to modify the system partition manually if you want to change that, which breaks safetynet, so.

Alright, just download the fastboot rom. Extract it. Put your phone in fastboot and connect it, then run "flash all and lock.bat" included in the files. If for some reason you find it not working copy all the contents of that directory to a new folder in your downloads. Sometimes the really long folder names can break things for windows.
