Update for /e/OS-a14 3.0:
Thank you!
I first flashed TWRP and then the e-3.0-a14-20250527-UNOFFICIAL-ginkgo.zip on my Redmi Note 8T. Works fine 
I flashed e-3.0.1-a15-20250622-UNOFFICIAL-ginkgo.zip and everything seems to work well.
This is really great to still have updated Android /e/ 6 years after our Redmi Note 8 was out.
Thanks @ronnz98
Installation guide to avoid bootloops
For a start we extract 3 files from e-3.x-axx-202xxxx-UNOFFICIAL-ginkgo.zip to have them ready, those files are recovery.img vbmeta.img dtbo.img
We boot our redmi note 8 or 8t into fastboot mode using the button combination, then we flash the recovery.img we just extracted by using fastboot flash recovery recovery.img once that’s completed its time to reboot using the command fastboot reboot or by uding the button combination, once we see the redmi logo we hold volume up and we should land into e/os recovery.
Ignore this part of the guide if are able to boot into e/os recovery
In case bootloop is present or the following screen
Once on the e/os recovery we can simply wipe /data /cache and /system select the back button and then apply update and either choose adb or sdcard if we have one installed and the build .zip copied on it, simply select reboot once its done and thats it!
Usability
the build “e-3.2-a14-20251027-UNOFFICIAL-ginkgo.zip” installs and works fine however the built-in apps are slightly out of date for example the browser version is 138 and microg is 0.3.8
build “e-3.2-t-20251028-UNOFFICIAL-ginkgo.zip”
All build-in apps are up to date as for e/os version 3.2
MicroG version for this build is 0.3.9
(only basic)
Charing while powered off
Fm Radio

build.prop tweak is not enough as bootloader unlocked status is visible
I’m not sure what the difference between the a14 and t version is. Is “t” Android 13?
Yes /e/OS-T is based on A13 and /e/OS-U (now /e/OS-a14) is based on A14
Ok so does it make sense that some parts on the A14 build are less op to date than on the T build as gianncap states?
Yes, might be that the prebuilt apps I had in A14 build environment are older than in my A13 environment
All seems fine with the A14… I hope it fixes the no mic on signal and teams bug that had been present in LOS. and was fixed somewhere in the summer for some ROMS..
Unortunately not…
The problem is that when switching to speaker with teams or signal the microphone gets muted.
There seems to be a fix, but it is not implemented everywhere yet
Official A15 version is now available:
Will it update to that one without issues from your last A14 3.2 build? I want to avoid a full reinstall due to installed apps.
(They state a starting base of Android 11 is required.)
don’t you have it already ?
i think it was required for /e/OS-a14 as well…
Well at this moment I am running your A14 E/Os 3.2 build. I came from lineageos. Before that I think I had the latest official build.. Not sure if that was 11
