Who has xiaomi redmi 5 plus to share me his experience about it bulkiness when inserted into the pocket. Does the size or its dimensions affect its portability; I'm so much interested in the phone having weighed all sides.

Redmi 5 plus is not as big as many of us thought. The phone is few inches taller than rn4... They increased the screen to body ratio thereby maintaining almost the same size with rn4. If placed side by side with rn4 u will surely take the r5plus. Its sleek, very beautiful and can fit into the pocket perfectly. It has a good battery life almost at par with rn4. Waiting to port to global stable rom when it becomes available.

Any one please

With TWRP you'll have to download the full Recovery ROM to update your device.

But to update through OTA, you will have to flash REDWOLF RECOVERY on your device. REDWOLF is more advanced with better options than TWRP.
Be sure to download REDWOLF 3.0.23... that's the most stable version for now.

Yeah read on the official thread on Xda and telegram group that Redwolf 3.0.24 is not updating OTA.
More reason why I held back from flashing custom recovery.
I have root with stock recovery for now.

It's not just that game, the walking dead, dungeon hunter and zombie are asking for controller. It doesn't even give me the option of switching to phone screen control
change your region to other countries whether you will see any update if your current miui version is not the latest from miui.

I posted some times back that I will write a concise tutorial on my journey through unlocking bootloader, rooting without tampering with stock recovery.
Well! Below is what I could come up with;

Follow @Kstan's tutorial on unlocking bootloader
I personally didn't utilise VPN and I got unlock permission very early the next day, actually way less than 24 hrs.
Also, chrome, puffin or any other SIMILAR browsers can be made use of on phone to do the applying (please abeg no opera mini oo)

Additionally, due to network issues, getting your account bonded might not happen once. Repeated messages of 'error' will be returned just keep repeating till you get a positive confirmation.

Search for Kstan through Nairaland search to check for his post on unlocking bootloader.

Process to root without tampering with the stock recovery of Xiaomi Redmi Note 4(x) snapdragon version. This is essential in order to be able to do OTA.

Requirements;
1. Unlocked bootloader
2. Latest Adb and fastboot setup (in exe format)
3. Latest TWRP custom recovery for mido (in img format)
4. Latest Magisk manager app (apk format)
5. Latest Magisk zip.
6. Lazyflasher-no-verity for mido (zip format)
7. Latest stock recovery for mido.(incase you mistakenly install a custom recovery)

Note; 'mido' is the nickname for Xiaomi Redmi Note 4(x) snapdragon version.
Ensure you find the LATEST versions of the above required files on the web (check the ever reliable XDA forum) except otherwise stated by the developer(s) of such resources.

If you're sure you've unlocked your device *check by going to 'settings' - 'additional settings'- 'developer options' and check 'unlock status' if your device is unlocked, you should see 'this device is unlocked' or something similar.

Before starting any tweaking on your device kindly find a way to do a NANDROID BACKUP aka full backup. Mi PC suite might be required for this or search the web for necessary steps.

*Copy all the above files to your PC to have a spare copy and your full backup and ensure you know the folder they are saved on your phone*

By now you should ensure 'usb debugging' under 'developer options' on your xiaomi device is activated.

Install the adb and fastboot setup on your PC.(kindly do a good web search on installing adb and fastboot on your computer relating to Xiaomi devices)

Next is to test the adb, navigate to the folder of the adb setup on your pc, it is usually located in the 'local disk' folder under 'computer'
Connect your device, on your computer still in the 'adb and fastboot folder' press the 'shift key' and the 'right mouse button' do the pressing Simultaneously, navigate to 'open command prompt' and click. (the command prompt window will now open)

Type the command 'adb devices' the returned prompt should be 'devices connected' with some set of numbers which is peculiar to that particular device. If the returned prompt is not like the above then you will have to go back a few steps of this tutorial and troubleshoot.

Rename the TWRP in img format to 'recovery.img' and copy into the 'adb and fasboot folder' on your computer.

Now, switch off your phone and boot into fastboot mode by simultaneously pressing the power button and volume down button, wait for some few seconds till you see a Mi avatar and the word 'fastboot', now connect your phone to your computer.

Like previous, go into command prompt while in the 'adb and fastboot folder', this time around we will test for the fastboot status of the phone by inputting command 'fastboot devices' just like before the returned prompt should be 'connected devices' with some specific numbers.

Now, input command;
'fastboot boot recovery.img'
Your phone should boot into TWRP recovery. (Very important: Ensure you DON'T swipe to enable modification).
Click to flash to install zip and navigate to where Magizk.zip and swipe to flash.
Repeat the flash step but this time around locate Lazyflasher-no-verity.zip and swipe to flash. (this step is very necessary to avoid bootlooping)
Find the reboot button and click.

*Booting might take a little while than usual just be patient. Incase of bootlooping repeat the connecting to fastboot mode and boot into TWRP and flash Lazyflasher-no-verity.zip.

Most part of this tutorial was gotten from Xda forum and contributions of other members here.

Bros, is there a way to unlock bootloader without PC?

change your region to other countries whether you will see any update if your current miui version is not the latest from miui.

Always make sure you have

1. A Global Stable/Global Developer FastBoot ROM

2. A Global Stable/Global Developer Full Recovery ROM

All downloaded and kept safe somewhere else apart from your phone storage or SD card... You can save them in your PC.

Reason is to always find it very easy to revert back to normalcy once anything goes wrong.

REDWOLF 3.0 23 is the most stable with full support for OTA. I don't think I'm even going to update to any new version.
