Redmi note 7 keeps restarting once in few days - Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers

Hello smartphone gurus!
I just bought Redmi Note 7 Ram 4/Rom 64. I checked its antutu score and the rest and it shows well. But I have issue that once in few days, it suddenly hangs and restarts itself continuously.
At first I panicked, and then I found temporary solution that when it restarts I will hold the power button till the booting process stops. And I press it once more and it comes on naturally as if nothing happened.
I browsed and read few articles, but none satisfied me and moreover it's quite difficult to find articles about Redmi Note 7.
My ROM is distributor and everything is fine but that "restart issue". I was trying to flash it by myself but cannot find the option "about me" and "update" (as shown in the flash guide on miui official site
The ROM offered on the site is V10.2.7.0.PFGMIXM (MIUI10) (Global ROM)
While mine is MIUI by xiaomi.eu 10.3 / Stable 10.3.8.0 (PFGCNXM)
Please anyone help me. I would appreciate your help

1 - Xiaomi.eu is not official MIUI, it's a custom ROM based on official MIUI, that's why you can't find the options you mentioned.
2 - The latest official Global ROM is 10.3.6.0, you're probably looking at the wrong device.
3 - Because Xiaomi.eu is a Custom ROM, there might be bugs, even if the users say it's stable, you should whether reflash your Xiaomi.eu by following the instructions on their forum or flash an Official MIUI to solve your issue.

I also got this reboot today when i was reading news. no freeze or bootloop it just restarted itself. Let's see how it's gonna go. Following. I'm on stock rom with the latest update installed.

this happened to me a few times. 3 or 4 times. it's been months without any random reboot now, tho.

Mid-upgrade bootloop problem.

Hey, guys! I had the official ICS (B26) in my device and, since a new build (B28) came out a couple of days ago, I thought I'd try that one out, but I got in a bootloop in the middle of the process. I tried various things; booting the official GB (from the global huawei site) ROM resulted into nothing, booting the earlier official GB (from the chinese huawei site, the one I used a while ago to go from 2.2.2 to ICS) showed a process bar, but it stat a little bit after the beginning. I even tried a solution proposed by Katu here, but nothing worked. So now I'm in an endless bootloop limbo and I don't know what to do. Any help would be most welcome. Thanks in advance!

Possible bloatware/malware

Hey guys, I have very limited time and internet access this week, but I wanted to give a heads up in case any of you receive a phone with 'extra' software on board.
I've just received my 32GB Prime and there have been issues right away. Although it has a 'stable' international ROM on board, it repeatedly hung in the first thirty minutes and I was repeatedly prompted to use apps like DU Speed Booster and another memory cleaner app to 'fix' the problem. These don't look like part of MIUI to me, but they can't be uninstalled, so somebody has clearly cooked them into the ROM. This reeks of phishing malware to me so I'm going to download the latest official stable ROM and flash that as soon as I have time.
If I'm wrong, please let me know and I'll update or delete this. If not, please check your phone carefully before entering any of your data or account info.
Same issue here. However, I have been trying to download the stock ROM from the miui website for a full day. Cant seem to get it to dowanload past 50MB. If you figure this out please let me know.

Lol, same problem here. I've given up for now. I Googled earlier on and it would appear that MIUI servers are absolutely rammed because so many people are trying to download.

That is a relief. I thought it was just me all day. I ordered mine and it was already setup when I opened the box. I did a factory reset, but it didnt get rid of those apps or issues. I am also assuming that Xiaomi doesnt include that bloatware on purpose.
Also, now everytime I browse to a new link in Chrome it rerouts me to some spam ad page. I need to get this fixed ASAP.

Did yours come with MIUI 7? Mine came with MIUI 6 installed.
Download and flash developer MIUI 7 version. Use a download manager like IDM. The ROM that the sellers put on the RN2 is not optimized and causes issues for everyone who got it that way (sources: XDA and another non-English forum).

It's a bit confusing. According to this post only these models are supported: Redmi 1S, Redmi 2, Mi 4i, Mi 3, Mi 4, Redmi Note 3G, Redmi Note 4G.
Edit: Found it here.

Mine had MIUI 6. Now I've put the latest stable MIUI 6 on which lacks Play store/Google services and only has English and Chinese language options.
Had the same problem, you can get miui 7 developer rom from zan5hin link here http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-2/general/server-issues-preventing-updating-to-t3188967
Most bloatware isn't in it, then flash gapps-5.0.x-20150404-minimal-edition-signed.zip (can't remember where I got it)
not had a Chinese popup for a while and everything seems stable, this should do me till an international rom appears
MIUI 7 developer version 5.9.2
Recommend this developer version
I have the heating and lagging issue after root, sometimes even the phone call need to wait about 1 or 2 secs to see the caller ID.
The MIUI website unable to download, too many people try to download maybe, so I google and find a Chinese guy share what his experience with this version and provided a link to download ROM on Mobile - 1
I flash it with xiaomi updater, and I can see the difference right away.
The CPU won't be so hot (before even high to 72), and all apps respond much faster than before and more smooth.
Suggest everyone who has Redmi Note 2 should try it.
I am not able to provide link cause I don't have 10 post.

I have actually noticed my phone is a bit slower than when I first got it, was it the root that I managed to achieve a few days ago causing this?
Are you talking about this ROM? http://en.miui.com/thread-157254-1-1.html
I think the other guy who also can't speak english or post links is talking about this ROM, v5.9.9: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347811823
chinese rom
NO I used the one from a Taiwan or Hong Kong website
call Mobile-1
the zip file is about 651MB
I start using the new rom for 2 days
what I noticed is that the apps are more smooth and fast respond
the cpu wont get too hot
and Yes, I have those issue after root, and don't worry about your root
after flash, still have root access if you dirty flash
BTW, the new rom can get root permission in security
hope you can find it
Hi guys, I've just received my Xioami Redmi note 2 prime and have the same problem! Avast antivirus finds malware installed. The problem app is called Fun Weather funweater.apk. Avast says it is Androidropper-BT(PUP)and Android.Troj.ya_funsms.gf. Factory reset doesn't solve the problem. Uninstall also. It is integrated into the firmware. I have read in one article that if it is into the firmware I am screwed up and this cannot be cleaned. Should I try to return the phone back and get my money back? Is it sure that installing new rom will clean up my phone from the malware? One is for sure I am totally done with Chinese stuff. Xiaomi, Aliexpress and everything Chinese will be totally avoided from now. I am so frustrated! I don't know what to do. If I return it I have to pay shipping costs. I feel totally screwed up.
Why not install CM12.1 on it and call it a day?
Slow download on bigota.d.miui.com just add o in front to obigota.d.miui.com although i suggest you use http://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/5-10-22.28856/ instead.
Putting a new rom is a little bit difficult for me, but even if I do it, is there slightly probability the malware to stay in the new rom too? If so, may be it is better to return it. The article I've read about malware says "contact your vendor for replacement or refund" Does it mean that if the seller infected the phone, it is unrepairable? If a new rom guarantee a clean phone, maybe I should try because the phone itself is not bad. But I will never feel comfortable using it having doubts about security.
Wiping it should remove any conventional malware - you will be wiping it in order to install a clean ROM anyway. Installing a clean ROM is not difficult at all, though I can understand it might look like it the first time you attempt to do it. You could use this tool to flash TWRP, then you just boot into it, wipe data/cache and flash the ROM .zip from the SD card.

There is a CM12.1 for RN2? AOSP != CM
Bloatware and malware are installed as system app.
You can remove it only installing another rom.

i got my redmi from ibuygou so there were no chinese shady apps, but i still wiped all data and installed xiaomi.eu rom, i think everyone shoud do at first, we never know what's inside the "stock" roms from chinese resellers.

[Problem] Redmi 2 issues & pop up ads

Hi guys,
I have been a iPhone user for the past year, so sorry for not being updated.
I ordered a Redmi 2 for a friend. But she complained the phone was too slow, so I asked her to borrow it for some time.
First thing I did was a factory reset. Then installing the most comon apps, facebook, messenger, youtube. nothing more.
So far, appart from the low available RAM at any given time, what's really driving me crazy are pop up ads. They show everywhere, facebook, youtube, messenger. Even in the homescreen.
My first question is.
Are these normal nowadays in Android? I find that hard to believe.
Second question. How can I disable this. I understand in app adds and why they are there. But youtube/facebook/homescreen? The add is pretty much the same almost every time, "Lebara Talk" and shows every time I enter the apps after not using them for like 5 minutes.
Please let me know if there is a way to remove this.
Now on other topic, in case the phone shows itself laggy as she told me, are there better optimized ROMS. Keep in mind this is a non tech-savvy girl using it.
Many thanks
Best Regards
Is it the HM2014811 model with 1GB ram? It probably came with the chinese/global rom which has bloatware. Download the global rom from here: http://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/5-10-15-16.28809/
Just make sure you download the correct version! for example for the HM2014811 it would be: xiaomi.eu_multi_HM2014811_5.10.15_v7-4.4.zip (dev rom).
You have guessed it right. Thanks for helping. Are these ROMS stable? Also, I am going to search for it, but until then, it would be much apreciated if someone could point me to a tutorial on how to install these.
There are 2 versions, Developer rom and Stable.
Developer roms get updated every week, stable every ~3 months. The stable one is based on MIUI V6 and the Dev on MIUI V7 so sometimes various fixes that are installed on latest dev roms take a while to get to the stable. I would recommend the Developer rom for Redmi 2 as it has less/ no issues (people have reported SIM lock issues on the stable version).
You can use this guide: http://en.miui.com/thread-142581-1-1.html to install the rom through recovery. With this method it will wipe all the data/apps of the system.
If you want to save your internal storage/apps you can do a backup with the MIUI app or with Titanium Backup and restore afterwards.
Many thanks for the help. It's a new phone now. how can I mark this as solved?
No need, enjoy!

[Q] [HELP] How do you identify the correct variant of Redmi 2?

I've tried posting this in MIUI forums and haven't gotten any replies. I'll try my luck with XDA.
How do you correctly identify Redmi 2?
I've got a RM2 that has the 2014811 variant when I check it onscreen.. But I'm skeptic that it's correct. All I know is 2014811 is suppose to be a normal Redmi 2 with 1 gigs of RAM and 8 gigs of ROM. But mine's a 2 gigs RAM & 16 gigs ROM. If I'm correct, with specs like those, my RM2 is suppose to be a RM2 enchanced variant (Pro, Prime, etc). What I can't figure out is which variant is it that I'm dealing with. Another thing that I know is that the RM2 version of mine isn't the global one because I didn't buy it from an official shop, I bought it from an external distributor. The RM 2 box is written in chinese and the characters underneath the battery are full chinese (except for the S/N and IMEI). Is my RM 2 a 2014818 or 2014819? How can I find out which variant is it that I have with me.
Thank you.
2014819- Brazilian variants
2014818- Redmi 2 prime variation of 2014811

Guys thanks for your replies. After intensive research, I have concluded that: yes, my device is totally a WT88047 - HM201411 - HM 2 LTE-CU (China Unicom) variant. But now I've found out something else that's got me hooked up on finding out. I'm using latest stable stock rom (MIUI 8 - 8.2.1.0), and I checked out my Mi-Account menu in settings, snooped down to devices and... My RM2P is named Redmi 2W..... So... What the heck is Redmi 2W? I've been searching here and there with no luck on finding out what a Redmi 2W is (Haven't checked the chinese sites though). Does anyone know what it is?

I've got: touchscreen issues, wake up issues, twrp issues, kernel issues and proximity issues. I'm guessing even if I tell you what I'm experiencing, you won't be able to find a solution for it (please don't say I've got defective hardware, because I don't. Why? Because 3 of my friends bought the same device as mine, in the same online shop and all of them have the same issues). But even so I'll just post all of em and cross my fingers:
TWRP's bugged, needs to timeout (screen off) first before I'm able to responsively use it (touchscreen bugged, tried all latest TWRP versions, including kumajaya's old twrp builds. Touchscreen does work on several 2.8.7.0 and below versions for KK bootloader).
Any custom rom I've flashed will always face lockscreen issues (waking up device using power button leads to unresponsive and un-swipe-able touchscreen, that means I can't unlock my device, seems like it has to do with with proximity too, and please don't ask me about gestures and modified navigation buttons, because I don't use them at all: dt2w, s2w, etc).
Any custom kernel used will always lead to device not being able to wake up (pressing power button doesn't wake up the screen, stays black, have to reset device by force, still happens even though I'm using stock CPU govs *interactive* and I/O scheds *noop* not using hotplugs, doesn't change anything)
I still even face all those problems in Stock MIUI (KK or LP.. 7, 8)
Try downloading china developer ROM? Yeah. I've done that.. Even went to the Chinese download page of miui to download the exact recommended MIUI 8 C-Dev ROM for my HM 2 LTE-CU variant, and still the same bugs occur.
Xposed? I've experimented using stock and custom roms (below API 24) that are Un-Xposed. They still exhibit the same problems as above.
Clean flash dirty flash? I totally understand what those are.
Wipe dalvik cache and cache.. Don't even dare ask about those.
Fix Permissions? Yeah.. It didnt make a difference..
Post dmseg and logcats? Trust me, you devs will probably mark my device as a different type of WT8847 (and by saying that means even if you succeed to find the problems, to fix them means you gotta totally change the 'insides' of roms and stuff to make it compatible with mine. It'll probably be a waste of time if I post those 2 guys here.

Yeah, I know where you're getting at bro. Let me ask you this, does it not annoy you to death when you're restoring the same backup ROMs frequently just because suddenly your device can't use wi-fi (bugged) or tether, or maybe one of the issues above occur and you just gotta try your best to keep it 'clean'.. again.. and again.. and again?

that's all are happening 'cause of source code modification of lineage from cyanogen which caused your device unfavorable base code modification, only thing can be done is flash stock rom, bootloader, recovery, modem, everything using fastboot.

So in other words "bye-bye" to custom roms right? I'm in latest stable global miui 8 btw (LP), I clean flashed it via download mode, those problems still show up though. Okay let me just try to flash miui via fastboot or download mode again.

Strange twrp problem 2014817

Hi, I bought an used 2014817 unit, the owner said that he has replaced the touchscreen before
The weird thing is, the latest twrp doesnt always register my touch, most of the time, I tap the screen without any reaction from the twrp, but sometimes it works, it can register my tap easily
While the previous twrp 2.8.7, didnt have this problem at all
How to fix this ? Bad drivers ?
Try flashing miui fastboot rom....it will fix the broken drivers...

Yeah, the replaced touchscreen must be a replica. So bad drivers should be the case. If there's an official xiaomi agent near you, you should ask them to replace it or try finding an original touchscreen for RM2.
I'm guessing you've been facing frequent SoD's (Screen of Death that makes you have to force reboot the device) and unresponsive touchscreen when the device is trying to wake from sleep (ex: pressing power button). SoD's occurs because of the proximity sensor that is attached to the replica screen is buggy.
I used to have the same problems, but it got fixed. I bought a dead original Redmi 2 and right away I started switching parts from the dead redmi 2 to my redmi 2. Salvaging parts that I've tested and arent using right now, and replacing bad parts. Extra info: RM 2's Touchscreen isn't sold by piece. You gotta buy the whole package, from LCD to TS and Proximity.
Try reading an old ROM thread by @ketut.kumajaya (CM 12.1-13), there you'll find tons of information about buggy parts of your redmi 2. Starting from eMMC to Proximity sensors, because RM 2 are sometimes shipped with different parts inside it.
and one more thing, your thread should be posted in Q&A section, just reminding you mate!
Good luck!
So my best option right now is to go back to miui based custom rom and twrp 2.8.7, since I encountered no errors with them, thankz very much mate

By all means yes if you don't have the leisure to do what I just posted (Changing your replica screen to an original RM2 screen). If you do plan on using MIUI based ROM, I suggest you to sneak a peek at xiaomi.eu and download the latest rom for Redmi 2 (running MIUI 8.2 with LP-bootloader). Best performance for MIUI.
Or if you are the 1 GB RAM variant of RM2, Try going for Kitkat MIUI 8 (with KK bootloader). I'll be praying that SoD's and other bugs won't occur while you're on KK and using that replica screen of yours.
I've been on this phone for a year, and at last when I fixed it (with the methods in my last post), I fully unlocked all customization for RM2, please do consider my methods if you are going to settle with RM 2 for a while or you're facing the same bugs that I used to.
Good luck!

Hi, I bought an used 2014817 unit, the owner said that he has replaced the touchscreen before
The weird thing is, the latest twrp doesnt always register my touch, most of the time, I tap the screen without any reaction from the twrp, but sometimes it works, it can register my tap easily
While the previous twrp 2.8.7, didnt have this problem at all
How to fix this ? Bad drivers ?
