Im the happy owner of a Redmi 2 - HM2014811, 16 GB, 2 GB RAM. The 4G band my network operator runs is the rather exotic - I'm in EU - TDD 38(2600) and this phone has it.
Im running as we speak the Redmi 2 4G Global Stable ROM - Version: V8.0.1.0.KHJMIDG (MIUI8), KitKat based.
Question1: Is it possible to flash Redmi 2 Prime Global Developer ROM, Lollipop based?... I'm asking this because i want to preserve the native LTE bands of the phone, not losing the TDD38(2600). As seen on gsmarena, the Prime version is dedicated to the indian market - and the LTE bands are quite different.
Question 2: If yes, should is use recovery or fastboot method, as the actual ROM is KitKat based and the Developer ROM I want to flash is Lollipop based?
Question 3: Will I feel a lack in performance, considering the phone has 2 GB RAM?
I asked the same questions on the miui forum, but I hardly got an answer related to the first question.
1. Yes , .. Go ahead and install the Prime's Developer ROM .. im saying this as one of my friend with 20140811 (TDD) , is using it ,I don't exactly know how it works but it should be able to use , this might sound not Convincing but You can Always revert Back ..
2. You can Use Recovery or Fastboot , both would Work .. but if you're using Custom Recovery such as TWRP , make sure its Compatible with Lollipop Bootloader , like TWRP 2.8.6.1 doesn't have Support whereas TWRP 3.0 or later have ..
To avoid as Mishappenings , Try not to use Mi Recovery as In most cases We are now getting the Error 7 in TWRP and Not able to flash in MI Recovery .. the Error 7 is due to , if you know , the Updater Script and Can be solved by Editing it .
3. It's more than Sufficient .. the 2gb of ram , you'll not feel any lack in performance
Hope this helped

Is there any aosp/port rom for this phone ? I've searched here, miui.com, xiaomi.eu and nothing , maybe i don't know where to look .
Same question here.I'm afraid this device is too new to have custom ROM.maybe someone can port it from redmi 1s for note 4g,both phone had an almost the same hardware spec.

There a link for someone to try mokee ROM. Its in Chinese
Sent from my HM NOTE 1LTEW using XDA Free mobile app
Google mokee rom and go the mokee page, you can switch to english. Download the rom and flash it through recovery.
Our phone is new and as a result there aren't custom roms out yet, be patient. I myself will try Mokee rom, used to flash them on my previous phone (Galaxy Note II) and they are awesome.
EDIT: The current version of Mokee Rom for our phone is currently available only for the Chinese 4g version, so don't flash it yet.

hi there, its been a few months since you posted this and i've noticed many others tried this rom.
I think it has global support for english maybe ?
I am using the FDD-LTE which is the international version. It flashes well with TWRP. I have not noticed any bug at all. Just freeze the chinese apps with Bloatware Freezer or any other.
Mokee AOSP rom
I'm used Mokee AOSP rom two weeks, and it's perfect. With SD Maid Pro You could freeze/delete the chinese apps, and don't forget to freeze the "System server" app!!

Currently I carry in my redmi note Lte and goes great.
It's a little spendthrift battery ... And I like more than miui.
You can tell me how to change the internal storage to the external microsd to get photos from the camera and gallery? Not find've looked at google camera options. No such adjustment.
Only in my settings, storage settings, select primary microsd. But I will not let this turn you off, do not understand,

Hi folks,
I'm in Hong Kong right now and I picked up a Redmi Note (HW specs as per the subject line of this thread). I can't seem to find many resources on this specific model, Gucci. It came with MIUI 6, Kitkat 4.4.4, the kernel Build ID is KTU84P if that helps.
I initially flashed TWRP to it and essentially screwed up the recovery because the current Redmi Note TWRP builds don't work on this device. After a few hours of pulling my hair I finally found a CWM build that functions, although it's in Chinese... at least it works. So I've been able to root the device. Here is a link to the actual recovery that works http://en.miui.com/thread-94200-1-1.html
I was wondering if there is any hope to getting an English TWRP on this device, and also flashing Cyanogenmod 12 on to it -- or if the builds floating around will be incompatible... I don't want to end up with a brick.
I'm a pen-tester...I'd eventually love to put Kali Linux Nethunter on the device too, but I gather you need to build a kernel for that and I'm a noob as far as building kernels go.
Thanks for your help.
Only if there will be some phone with similar hardware and port ROM from it. I do not know if the kernel sources were released....they said so but did not seem to find it...
I think you have Philz recovery in English for Gucci now. It works for CT version.
I'm also having trouble install CWM or any third party recovery to dual-sim on latest official stock rom.
It shows this when trying to use fastboot:
fastboot boot recovery.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.548s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: dtb not found)
finished. total time: 0.619s
And when doing flash recovery it just doesn't have any effect on reboot. it will keep rebooting to the same stock. Did OP have the same issue?
Edit: after using the thread linked by OP it worked for me also.

I'm searching for a custom rom for Redmi Gucci, which I'm now using, for a long time. I don't like MIUI rom, either developer or not. tried CM11, the LED doesn't work, tried CM12, either mobile data or SIM & usually both of them don't work. I didn't like Flyme OS or FIUI either, so back to CM11 without LED functioning. Seems like, every good ROM is for 'DIOR'. What's the problem with 'GUCCI'? I can't use a DIOR ROM for my GUCCI, so if there's a good, stable & working ROM for GUCCI, other than MIUI, then kindly let me know. My extensive search over google for the last 3 months have been completely unsuccessful. Plz, help me with the ROM solution. Thanx to all beforehand. :'(

Hi, try CM12 from there.
Yes, no need to say, I tried that too. But just as usual with Gucci CM 12.1, it does have the mobile data bug. It can connect successfully to Network, but the mobile data option is always greyed out & u can see that in the signal bar too...an exclamation mark. When u connect to Wi-Fi, that mark goes away & since I can't get wi-fi for 24x7, so mobile data is a must for me. That's why this ROM is of no use to me. I appreciate ur help though. Thanx...

Hey! Can you please provide me link of CM11?
Thank you so much
Hi guys, as you can see from the title, I just bought a new Redmi 2 LTE CN Dual-SIM (Unicom China) WT88047 - HM2014811. I flashed TWRP using Stock Recovery with stock rom (first I tried the 'fresh out of the box stock' and latest global developer rom) and succeeded to boot into TWRP. The problem is (using the 2 stock roms), my touchscreen doesn't work when I try to press or slide when I'm in TWRP. Touchscreen does eventually works after screen time out though. Successfully installed Custom ROMs and stuff, but everytime I boot into TWRP, to use it, I have to wait until the screen goes black (time out) and then the touchscreen becomes responsive. The question is, is this a bug (hardware level bug) or I did things the wrong way? Is there anyway at all to fix this? Because once I accidentally turned off screen timeout and had to flash stock via fastboot to wipe TWRP data. It's becoming pretty annoying. Thank you, please do reply ASAP.

So according to your post....you flashed t.w.r.p by stock recovery .So let me guess.The t.w.r.p was from miui forum.I suggest you to flash t.w.r.p 3.0.2.0 by kumajaya sir (from XDA) by fastboot or rashr or flashify. And flash any custom ROM from here(XDA) and do a clean flash(though clean flash is not a magic wand)

Yes exactly, you are correct, the TWRP was from MIUI forums. I did try flashing kumajaya's TWRP via fastboot and the results: Can't boot to TWRP (and this was before I found the post in MIUI forums, because it's been my habit to check XDA first before oem forums). Sorry I forgot to mention firsthand about this. Maybe it was because of my Redmi 2 model, it's got different soc parts or something, I'm not that well much informed about the differences between Redmi 2 models. What I did found out was that my Redmi 2 Prime (says the online shop that I bought it from) was not exactly Redmi 2 Prime, but it was the Redmi 2 China LTE Dual-SIM model with 16 GB's of ROM and 2 GB's of RAM (Wingtech 2014811 - Redmi 2 LTE Unicom China Dual-SIM).
I do have past experiences with Redmi 2 from a friend who bricked his Redmi 2, and I flashed kumajaya's (sir) TWRP with ease. No problems, perfectly booted to TWRP without any bugs or other problematic situations. Flashed custom roms and kernels, even reverted back to stock (vice versa).
I'm not totally shocked by the different variants of Redmi 2 (My past HH was a Zenfone 5, and yes A*SUS likes to ship HH with different SoC parts, it made me unable to unlock the bootloader), what makes me curious is the difference between KK bootloader and LP bootloader, the limitations and weird bugs that they offer. Why did Xiaomi suddenly implemented a different bootloader for Redmi 2, thats my main question so far.
*PS: I've tried to use nicknitewolfs Modded kumajaya TWRP, from the LineageOS 14.1 thread, and yes it booted, but the same problems exists.
I'll try once more to do a clean flash of TWRP. *fingerscrossed

If he phone have a different SOC then I think no ROM in this forum will work(may be I am wrong,and I hope this) perfectly.If kumajaya Sirs t.w.r.p does not work then try Tesla ROM by miui forums t.w.r.p.I once flashed Tesla by miui forums t.w.r.p ,and it worked fine .But lineage by miui forums t.w.r.p never will work.

Oh so what you're saying is, "changing the zips original recovery.img (from MIUI) and replacing it with Tesla's TWRP from XDA? I'll try that! ", never mind that, I got it wrong, what you meant was install image right? I've done that before, and 'the situation below' happened.
Oh btw I tried flashing XDA Tesla's TWRP via fastboot commands, clean flashed it (fastboot format system, cache, userdata, fastboot erase recovery, fastboot reboot-bootloader and then flash recovery blablabla.img), it booted, but it made another bug. First, the same as before, touchscreen unresponsive, second when screen time out kicked in, my power button or even volume buttons couldn't wake TWRP up. I'm feeling so hopeless right now..

Well which Tesla ROM are you mentioning above? The latest nougat build or the final MM build? Because right now I'm using the final MM build. What does flashing the Tesla ROM have to do on fixing my unresponsive touchscreen on TWRP?

I have the same device model 2014818 1gb ram phone
I'm using Miui Kikat which is best and stable now.
Once u flash lollipop fimware (miui lp rom of redmi 2 prime)
It will take 10 to 15 min to boot up, the only options u will get is VOLTE.
And u will get volte working in custom roms to.
But performance wise in miui lollipop , it will be very slow and 1GB Ram isn't gonna keep too much memory free (multitasking forget it). But custom roms will work ok like normal , volte enabled.
Both redmi 2 and 2 prime are all same hardware , just the difference is that it has 2 variant (1gb 2gb ram )
Internal 8gb , 16gb.

Proximity Sensor works perfect for me, no issues.
I'm pretty new to Android. Just bought a seller refurbished Xiaomi Redmi 2 (HM 2LTE-CMCC) 2GB 16GB 2014CP6123 from ebay. Has MUI 7.0 4.4.4 ktu84p. Should I factory reset (to get rid of any Chinese viruses/spyware etc.) and then flash EU Rom or global? I don't want to root it as I want to use banking apps etc. but would like the latest possible Android version which I read is nougat, is installing a custom Rom different to EU/Global Rom? Would a custom Rom affect the apps available on the play store? (I rooted an android tablet and couldn't use banking apps etc.)
Hoping someone could give me step-by-step general advice and best Roms etc/tutorials links? Also the video recording stated it would be 1080p but is a little fuzzy, it's turned itself off once or twice from sleep mode despite being almost fully charged and the battery seems to quite quickly. Do I need to buy a new battery?
Seems your phone is Redmi 2 Enhanced (HM2014813) which is China only version. i'm sorry to tell you that this version has no official global rom (China rom only available), no custom rom, and mostly no much help about this device. I think the used Leadcore CPU is the main problem.
Flashing miui rom using fastboot method is recommended to get rid of some bloatware. Please note you will still get some xiaomi chinese apps after flashing due to your phone variant.
