Help with Note 4G, dual-sim, Quad 1.2GHz Snapdragon 410, 2GB ram, 16GB emmc, Gucci

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...

Redmi Note 2 already rooted

Hello everyone, this is my first thread
Today I receive my Redmi Note 2 , after I power up the device to check wether it is using a not official MIUI rom or not...well I'm kinda surprised that teh rom is MIUI 7 (already???) but still beta ver, I hope this ROM is stabil, and it is already rooted (via kingroot), damn...
Please give me your opinion, thank you

You have two Roms on miui 7.
Developer (beta) Roms and the Stable Roms.
Dev Roms are weekly updated and have root.
Stable is like other do, when they think that a developer rom is OK... They move it for stable.
Go to xiaomi.eu website. There you have the Roms translated to many languages, without Chinese apps.
They cook the Chinese rom to us. And many stores install there rom before send to users. Probably, your is already from there.
Cheers.

As far as i know , miui.eu didn't use kingroot.
Make sure you have the real rmn2 device(not some fake one), and you have nothing to worry.
Simply change your rom to miui.eu's rom then you will be fine.
Their rom is clean, multilang, and with gapps. They also cut the Chinese bloatware off.
Their rom is based on the Chinese weekly update beta rom.

When I check via antutu n geekbench, it is the real redmi note2

This don't work. You have to use TWRP recovery.
Or maybe install the official global rom: http://en.miui.com/download-274.html
It has got OTA updateds

I have stock recovery and I always update this way.

So finally I download the global rom, and reflashed it this morning hahaha, install the twrp first it is

Mine came with MIUI 7.0. Stable 7.00.66.00 whats the best ROM i can flash on it?
also it gives an error if i try to install it via the updated app '' install.zip failed update.zip signature verification failed'' if i try to install xiaomi.eu_multi_hermes_5.11.26_v7-5.0.zip
Any idea's??
nvm, you have to do it via TWRP because it doesnt work via the updater app anymore. Works like a charm now.

I'm using same rom (7.0.6.0), I think it is good enough, rom is very personally experienced, so you should choose what's best suitable for you

could u easily flash a new rom via TWRP aswell now (custom roms) this rom i use now is a weekly rom i guess it gets updated weekly, but i just installed TWRP 2.8.7. it works really well for installing.

Recently updated my old Nexus 10/Manta to OmniROM 6.0.1 and I couldn't be happier. I had a fair bit of messing around on the first try until I got the sequence right...full wipe, flash ROM, flash Gapps pico and everything works REALLY well.
However, installing nightly updates is the same for me as the initial flash...I have to do a full wipe or I get the Google Services loop.
Am i doing something wrong is that how nightlies work currently?
Thanks.

Hi,
i'm rather new with rooting, flashing and all the stuff that comes with it.
Now i have an Oppo Find7 and i managed to install the following:
-TWRP recovery
-OmniRom 5.1 nightly
-Gapps 5.1
I'm pleased everything worked but now i saw OmniRom 6.0, when i tried to flash it with gapps i encountered the first problem:
-The install of OmniRom went well but when i try to install Gapps 6.0 stock, it is saying i dont have enough storage? Can i somehow increase or free up this storage to it can fit?
Second question: If the above is possible, is there a way to flash OmniRom 6.0 and Gapps 6.0 without the loss of data? or do i still have to backup and restore with titanium backup?
Thanks in advance

Hi there,
I have a Nexus 7 2013 wifi. Latest omni marshmallow but I have one issue. Battery drain.
It seems as it does not suspend. Maybe someone could point me in the right direction to help squash this pesky bug.
What I can add is that I have a Nexus 5 with same apps and settings without the issue .
Thank you

I just upgraded from ZTE Maven running Android 5.1, to a Galaxy Express 3 running Android 6.0.1. love the phone, but for one thing. I playing a game called Walking War Robots. It played good on the 5.0, but really lags bad on the 6.0.1.. I thought the better phone would be better but it's worse. I've also noticed that the graphics are better for the 6.0.1, including shadows for robots, etc. I believe it adds to the problem. What I'd like to know, is there a way to improve the performance of my phone to get rid of the lag, or is there a way to disable enhanced graphics and make the game think I'm running 5.0 to get rid of the shadows and enhanced graphics. I can do without robot shadows for the sake of smooth gameplay. Any help will be greatly appreciated... YodaXIII

password reset?
I decided to try the official Nougat for my 6P. Before going there, I made a TWRP backup, which I used "adb pull" to get to my computer. After trying Nougat and deciding I didn't like it, I went back to Omnirom from the TWRP backup. At boot it asks for the decryption password, which works fine, and omnirom starts up correctly. It then prompts me for password after restart, and it insists that I enter the wrong one. What options do I have to get past this, other than a clean install and then recover my apps/data from backups?
[edit: solved it] I entered the file manager of TWRP and removed /data/system/locksettings* After this, the next reboot required decryption password, as expected, but did not require a lockscreen password, so all was fine and I could again set a new lockscreen protection.

I have a micromax unite 4 pro (Q465) but on google there is no recovery img for any recovery I request u to help me how can I install a custom recovery to flash a zip filee please help me

Can You please share your experience here ?

Havoc Latest build here
MI 9T Global , Latest Stock android 9 Miui 11 tested havoc / bootleggers / AOSIP
OK, in the past i tried almost all the roms that are available for the Redmi Note 5 PRO...
For the 9T all this 3 ROMS ( havoc / bootleggers / AOSIP ) are the same PIE version as my Redmi Note 5 pro....
-Same default apps each rom has, custommization, menus, options, sounds, boot animations... so if you are familiar ... it's the same thing
This 3 ones doesn't mess with the "mac adress" i don´t know what it is, but if you flash for example Lineage OS (mi 9t) and try to move to another rom you'll lose wifi in your phone , can re enable it by doing a not very complicated process... but even if you use miflash and flash Stock Firmware and Relock the bootloader that "mac adress thing" is going to stay and your wifi isnt going to work, you have to do the solution they provide to have wifi back, so i never flashed lineage... It's weird how flashing via Miflash all to stock cant solve that thing... I NEVER TESTED LINEAGE THIS IS WHAT I KNOW....
For the others ... all those 3 have same Mi 9t base funcionallity, they took the "base implemetation from Havok Dev" so ... , same issues for all this 3, double tap to wake doesn't work.... there is a module for magisk that force it but never tried , i use "raise to wake" then fingerprint, yes, fingerprint doesnt work with the screen off, you have to wake it...
OTG USB detection is random... not always, i have to reboot 1 or 2 times, until it can read it...
Hardware:
Actually in havoc, camera hardware retraction works well, no issues, no rare sounds... some times pop up camera opens randomly, maybe some incompatibility with 3rd apps using it and not closing it, but if that happens i open the camera, switch to selfie cam then to primary and it retracts again, then i reboot...for... just in case
GPS, proximity, all hardware working... led light ... all as far as i know....
There isnt a OTA working on custom Roms... y'know just click the button and automatic update happens, maybe because we dont have a official 100% functional TWRP or Mantainers need to pay some online storage.... for example if you do a factory reset in system options (any of this 3 roms) it only sends you to TWRP and dont wipe anything....
I was tired not having double tap to wake... so used mi flash and went Full Stock android 9 miui 11 Global.... my mistake, i relocked the ****ing bootloader, for my surprise it was instant this second time, i didnt have to wait a week or month, was just instantly...
And here i am again, in havoc...
This momment devs are almost jumping to Android 10 in all AOSP roms...
This roms are stable, my MI 9T is my main phone for work ... i need it working 100% and this ROMS are good to go.... i dont play too much, just clash royale....
battery depends on your use...
I want to try Paranoid Quartz, but there isn't a tutorial to "move safely between android 9 and 10 roms) , i want to make a step by step guide how to move, in what order, what TWRP, what firmware....etc
well thats my impression, sorry for my poor english im lazy to use translator.....
Rigth now i have the knowledge to unlock bootloader, install pie TWRP, install pie aosp roms, go back to stock.... not more....
Im staying in pie havoc for now, Dev is a good guy , good group in telegram....
And remember..... NEVER WIPE VENDOR, IT´S A ****ING LAW.... LOL
have a nice day
