Installation
!!! Install CFW 2.0
Redmi Note 8 Pro doesn't quite like custom ROMs normally, so you have to flash a few blank files to get different custom ROMs to work.
- Download CFW2.0 and unzip it.
- Go to a folder with your device's codename in it.
- Run
!_FLASH_IT_L.sh
on Linux/macOS or!_FLASH_IT_W.bat
on Windows. - After this, follow the next steps.
Via fastboot
pmbootstrap init
pmbootstrap install
pmbootstrap flasher flash_rootfs
pmbootstrap flasher flash_kernel
fastboot reboot
Via zip
pmbootstrap init
pmbootstrap install --android-recovery-zip
pmbootstrap export
- Transfer the zip to the device
adb push /tmp/postmarketOS-export/pmos-xiaomi-begonia.zip /sdcard
- Flash the zip
- Reboot
Additional info
- For now WIFI works only with proprietary tools found in /vendor partition.
- These tools can be run using android runtime's linker64 and its libraries
