The Scare with corrupted data partition on my WHYRED is something I did not need.

Oh that takes me back to the good old days of running bleeding edge software as my daily drivers, spending lunch at work trying to fix some issue, no one able to contact me as my phone was dead again.

Those of you that have the handset already, which os is on it. Is it miui based on nougat still or have they updated it to oreo?

Since nobody else replied the Global Version comes with android Oreo 8.1 MIUI.

Sorry was busy trying to get my phone setup again.

Honorbuy have this listed at €186 at the moment. Has anyone seen it cheaper? Dropped my phone and split the frame at the weekend but don't really have a lot of spare cash right now.

Would the one from HK Goldway not be subject to customs and vat whereas the one from honorbuy would not as is for from Europe?

There is a 64gb model not 5.5" though.

My 64gb one arrived today and really impressed with it. Beautiful screen and miui has come on loads since I last used it. Used several custom ROMs over last few years but for first time might just keep miui on this for bit

Goldway have a PrePaid VAT Free by DHL service.

Even with Honorbuy, you have still paid a certain amount of VAT included in the Price + Shipping.

Just that they have prepaid it in a cheaper EU country and ship to you.

I asked them when the 4GB 64 would be back in stock.

Hello,
We found that we still have a few pieces in stock now,
if you want to buy it, please order this one first:
https://www.honorbuy.com/1353-xiaomi-redmi-note-5-64gb-rom-smartphone-black.html
the price is same, then choose EU warehouse express.
Then please leave a message in the order to tell us that you need the global version,
then we will help you change it to global version.

I don't know if I'd risk that...

No free gift, and seems it is out of stock again, as you can't add it to cart.

Edit: - Must have been a bug in the site, available again. And if your not worried about paypal protection, aliexpress goldway is currently cheaper.

Paid 236€ including dhl shipping. That was with the €5 discount for code "kimovil"

Head was wrecked last night trying to get this phone rooted and magisk installed so could get my Adblock on. Constantly showing as encrypted said 0MB storage.turned out the twrp stable version wouldn't work properly and the beta one did the job perfect. Really enjoying this phone now. The lack of physical back button is a bit annoying all the same

Oreo kernel sources for Redmi Note 5 Pro are out

Reddit thread

Github Sources

We should now start to see release's of more custom roms and kernels for the device. Most developers where holding out for the Oreo Sources.

corkie · 24-05-2018 08:48PM

Band 20 (800) Confirmed operational on WHYRED global

^^^ Reported in this app: - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.radioopt.widget

Also got rid of LOS addonsu and successfully installed Magisk + xposed on RR.

corkie · 25-05-2018 02:14PM

APT-X HD can work on our device if you use Magisk Module!

Module: - Android O APT-X libraries

Tested and working with my MPOW Swift.

It is not enable by default in MIUI or RR!

Anyone notice how bad the deep sleep bug is in this phone using miui and custom roms. Cell standby 30%+ and deep sleep standby not working

Known bug with stock kernel been used at present, the Oreo kernel sources where release so hoping development can begin on custom kernels to resolve the bug.

Luckily enough, I dodn't think i'm effected on RR.

Nope all images before yesterday were using the same kernel,

Today's update on RR and Lineage are using the new kernel which seems to have broken camera drivers lol.

Didn't update to that experimental build, but I can not get google camera ports to work on RR. Tried on WHYRED and my Kenzo.

Kenzo port use to work on LOS 14.1 but not on Oreo RR.
