Is it possible to have a dual boot in Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 ? - Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers

Just this question.

No, I don't think so because the phones can dual boot are on A/B partitions (like using GSI side-by-side with ROM), but the Redmi Note 8 Pro is a single partition device.

Redmi note 5 and Redmi note 5 Pro

Good evening,
before starting with modding, I would like to understand if at least I'm in the right section, this is the redmi notes 5 Pro section, (Indian version, if I have not misunderstood). I own a Redmi note 5 (global version, model name M1803E7SG). Can i use the guides of this section to proceed with the unlocking of the bootloader and to get the permissions of root??
Thank you!
Yes, you own a Redmi Note 5, also knows as whyred.
This tactic from Xiaomi confused alot of people.
Vince is the one with a single rear camera, while whyred is the one with the dual camera setup.
In India:
Redmi Note 5 is VINCE.
Redmi Note 5 Pro is WHYRED.
In Europe:
Redmi 5 Plus is VINCE.
Redmi Note 5 is WHYRED.
Also, AFAIK, unlocking the bootloader is the same deal with any Xiaomi phone. Using the unlock tool and the waiting time, etc, no matter the device you have.

Android One in Redmi 6 pro

Last time i checked, ( 10 minutes before posting this), The specs for Mi A2 Lite and Redmi 6 pro are totally the same, except the network bands. We can even assume that Redmi 6 pro is just rebranded version of Mi A2 Lite for India (and some other countries where they are being sold, if any). So, is it at all possible to flash that Android one directly into Redmi 6 pro, or do we need to make some modifications to the package.
Another short question...(as am a newbie and i would like the community to push my knowledge limit a little further). Is it at all possible to flash android one on to any other phone, whatever the specs maybe(same and different).
Edit - I found some interesting facts - Mi A2 Lite is indeed the Global version of Redmi 6 pro
- Redmi 6 pro uses a classic partitioning system while A2 lite uses the A/B system. So direct flashing the stock android one rom will brick it.
New questions - is there any ways to change the partition system from one to the other?
is there some way, we 'stock rom' lust hounds get a hand on it using this 6 pro?
And did you think about the notch?
Mi a2 rom
Did it work
Jay: Did you try A2 or A2 Lite?

Basically you can't flash Android one version of daisy on sakura. You can port android one for sakura or install a previous one which is ported and almost works fine.

Hey! I've been thinking the same thing, and I've tinkered around the fastboot stock images for both the A2 Lite and the 6 Pro. The stock image for Daisy contains a img named "partition" and I think this is what makes the A/B partition in the phone. I haven't tried it, But I'm think of doing it. editing all the flash_all.sh files in the Android One ROM from the A2 Lite, i.e replacing all codename "daisy" with "sakura" so it doesn't throw a invalid device error. I'll update

how were you able to flash the android one rom i also want to put it on my redmi 6 pro

m1803e7sg = same as redmi note 5 'PRO'? can I flash roms for the PRO version?

I am unsure if the note 5 pro forums are right for my phone as I have the redmi note 5 (not pro) m1803e7sg with 3GB RAM,
the ram and storage seems to me being the only major difference, so are ROMS compatible?
if not, is there another forum for my model?
If it has sdm636 its redmi note 5 pro/Global/AI/Whyred
As long as your phone using Sd 636
It the same device
or dual camera its the same whyred.

I just saw in cpu-z it has the qualcom snapdragon sdm636, so I am good? I know for my previous samsung phone there were varieties within same models that would make it incompatible with certain roms
So I've red some more, is it correct that my device is the whyred version? I believe it is redmi note 5 global
Yes the PRO and Global use the same ROMs. Even for official MIUI ROMs. I also have the same model number because I have the global model as well but 4GB RAM with 64GB storage option. As long as the codename is whyred it'll work just fine. I know Xiaomi's model naming can be really confusing. The ROMs on this forum will work on your device.

Hey, yes it is. I have it and I've flashed a lot of roms like Havoc or PE. In Europe the redmi note 5 pro is just called redmi note 5. You have the global version btw. (B20 working on this model).
Hi guys, no idea if there are still active people here but I have a redmi note 5 (3gb RAM, SDM660, model M1803E7SG. So same as above but with SDM660 instead of 636. Will these roms work for this model as well?

Yes, it should work. The Snapdragon 636 and 660 are very similar, so some apps may display it as sdm660. Whyred ROMs will work on your device.

Question Help

Can I use the Redmi Note 8 custom ROM for the Redmi Note 8 2021?
You saw the TWRP file of this phone

No. The 2021 biloba model has other chipset. Totally different from the gingko/willow model.
I had the same question. That sounds bad so...
Will there ever be a custom rom?
