I'm using Lineage on a Mi 5...works well. If you're looking for something that's just pure Android, can highly recommend.

Thanks, where can I dl the ver for mi 6?

Before you flash, read the documentation thoroughly and make sure you have everything ready.

Is why I linked to the wiki and not the download directly.

Silly, Librarian

I also bought the cheapest smartphone I could find on Takealot in case I messed something up. A 1gb RAM, 8gb ROM jobbie...as a flashback to when that was state of the art, it's nightmare-inducing.

Anyone have the Redmi 9A?
I just purchased this phone for my father and from online reviews it seems okay for basic use.
He only really uses his phone for Whatsapp, calls, banking and Google Maps.
I got it on Takealot for R1799.

Redmi 9A is like a 9C but without fingerprint scanner and chipset slightly slower. Otherwise the same screen, size, battery etc etc. So it's a reliable and won't let your dad down

Thanks so much. He is "upgrading" from an old iPhone SE. I think he is going to enjoy the bigger screen and battery life

Yeah some stuff is not there... Like, for example, the xiaomi usb drive picks up as LePhone driver instead.

Ok so I am stuck where I boot into fastboot mode, but windows 10 picks the phone up as "Other Devices" > "Android" with an exclamation mark in Device Manager.
I followed all of the steps up until this point.

Bought a Redmi Note 9 Pro in November and phone calls were working fine till the last few days. Now if I answer a call, I won't hear a thing unless I put call on speaker.
Google for a few solutions but none of them have worked.

Have any of you experienced the same thing?

and this has magically fixed itself yesterday. no rebooting or tweaking of anything since friday. and no updates either.

Rather get a Redmi Note 8 64 GB storage and 4Gb ram, which has a higher resolution display and only just a slightly lower processor speed for nearly 40% cheaper locally.

Jeez, that’s expensive, my Mi10T 5G only cost the equivalent of R6k, and that’s a Snapdragon 865, 6GB RAM and 128GB storage.

Did you install a driver for your phone? It's usually on a Xiaomi site somewhere.

I did everything. In normal mode, Adb and device manager recognizes it.

In fastboot mode, it isn't recognized. So a different set of drivers is needed when it is in fastboot mode apparently, based on all the googling and all the drivers I downloaded yesterday that does not work.

Eisch, don't you hate it when that happens...
