Install e/os on an old Redmi note 5 (whyred) and Redmi note 12 Pro+ (rubypro_eea)

Regain your privacy! Adopt /e/OS the deGoogled mobile OS and online services

Hello,

Following my previous question (see Redmi Note 5 topic for e/os installation) for which I had only link for Lineage OS I ask again : can I install e/os on it ? If yes where is the documentation knowing that I am not a specialist of these matters ?

Same question for my Redmi Note 12 Pro +

With AID64 Icould know the name of the 2 devices :

  • Redmi note 5 is whyred,
  • Redmi note 12 Pro+ is rubypro_eea

Hoping to have good news from you.

:slightly_smiling_face:

I made an unofficial build for Redmi Note 5

Not fully sure but this should run on the Redmi Note 12 Pro

Thanks.

As I said, it will be my first tentive for such a job !

Is there any tuto I can follow, first for my redmi note 5 ?

@piero

Merci / Thanks

As Isaid I am not very skilled for these manipulation, so I would like you or somebody guide me a little bit more because the tutorials are so completethat I am a little bit lost.

This why I use first my old Redmi Note 5 whyred

On my redmi note 5 whyred :

  • I am on the developper mode
  • I have downloaded ““Official TWRP App” but I do not understand how to continue with

On my PC under Linux Zorin Os based on Ubuntu

  • I have downloaded e-3.1.4-t-20251007-UNOFFICIAL-whyred.zip

But now : what to do ?

This is useless…
What you need is Download twrp-3.7.0_9-0-whyred.img

That’s a good thing.

First, install fastboot on your PC

On my redmi Note 5 whyred ?

OK, done and unzipped in my home directory.

And now ?

Je n’aime pas la procédure exigée par Xiaomi pour débloquer le bootloader.
