[quote author=olanreyman post=69961453]My journey to and fro brickland cheesy

Xaiomites trust me, brickland is a place you will never want to visit expecially if you are newbie to all this unlocking and flashing thingy.

Fast forward to the subject matter. As manageable as mi max 2 camera might be under normal condition, it really sucks on low light and the front camera is not too good hence I was desperate to install gcam. I was wondering how i will go about it cos i have never flashed any shit before or tamper with my default phone settings. Simple, I'm not a guy that fancy tweaking phone upandan.

So i started researching on how to get the camera app on my phone without root cos i really hate rooting my phone. Luckily for me i found out that the mission is possible without root, first i needed to unlock bootloader, flash twrp, flash camera2api through twrp then install the gcam app, scrubber or any gcam mod.

I was like wtf! undecided this process no pass 3 steps na why should I be afraid of bricking my phone. Abeg make i do am sharp sharp joor. And that was after I waited 3days for bootloader to be unlocked cos its 72hrs for max 2.

Then i picked up my laptop and install the necessary drivers to allow me smooth operation. I bought chilled malt with straw to be sipping so that tention will not catch me if anything goes wrong cheesy
Next i boot my phone into fastboot, run the command on pc and i was able to install twrp with any issues. I was like see simple thing cheesy
Next i flashed camera2api through twrp and it was also successful. By then i was feeling like a champion and more confident that my phone will not brick.

After everything was successful and i wanted to exit twrp, it asked me if i want to replace twrp with stock recovery, I wasn't sure of which option to choose. I asked my self why did I downloaded twrp if not to replace stock recovery? I was like Abeg replace joor... Not knowing that I was boarding a train to brickland.

After replacing it, I tried to boot my phone normally, na so the thing just stay for mi logo, I was like chai i don enter am today.
30 minutes gone still on mi logo.
Mehn i was really frustrated and don't even know what to do.

I picked up my laptop and start researching for ways to unbrick my phone. All I was seeing was that I needed to download fastboot developer rom and flash through mi flash tool to enable me unbrick my device. I was like chai which kind wahala be this na.
I tried researching for easier ways to unbrick my phone but couldn't get anything. Just as I was about to give up, I found a post on xda forum that says replacing stock recovery with twrp will brick the device and not allow it boot into stock rom, it can easily be unbricked by flashing dm verity disabler.

Next i rushed to download dm verity disabler and flashed with twrp.
Na so my phone just vex boot into rom oo. I was very happy.
Na so i just rush go install the gcam app,it was taking too long to install, I was like i go swear for this gcam if e no work upon all this wahala.... I never finish mutter, the app just install. Omo i was happy i had to go through all the stress cos it was worth it.
Gcam is the bomb!!! [/quote

Such a good testimony. Yet to Risk it. I am a tech novice.

Still on the issue. It seems not restricted to the RN 5ai. I tried same with my Redmi 3s Prime running MIUI 10 and still the same result. Open pages at random on BBC while listening to music via earphones, volume drops depending on page opened. Don't think its an earphone ish either.
I think its an MIUI thing. You can also try it and share your takes.
MIUI & bug especially on developers rom are 5 & 6. The keep solving problem and adding new features with another bug everyweek till it's time to upgrade to another phone

Rejoice with me folks. So after 2 years & 7 months of active service, I decided to call time on my Redmi Note 3 (MTK) & switch to the beastly Redmi Note 5 cool

Macbeyland came thru to make this transition a success. Sorry I couldn't do a picture review bro, there's already loads of such to convert every doubting Thomas I believe.

Oya Redmi note 5 gang, raise your hands

Nothing to fear joor, if he must leave twrp, then he should just flash dm verity disabler or lazy flahser.
