Hello guys, i just inherited a Redmi Note 8 Pro. I’ve been using LineageOS for a lot of time, and I really like the way I managed to set up everything.

I’ve been searching and because of the processor (MediaTek) it is hard to install Roms, but I really hate MIUI and Google ecosystem, and I don’t want to go back to it.

It is really important for me that the rom doesn’t have google services.

Any recomandation? I’ve seen roms like:

  • CrAndroid
  • Unofficial LineageOS
  • HavocOS

Thanks for everything!!

    By the way, this is unimportant, but hard bricks cannot be fixed. I think you’re thinking of a soft brick.

      In this case, the phone was literally hard bricked (at least in the state of what people on xda forum would consider a hard brick, which require EDL mode from authorized repair shop to fix). Can’t be powered on at all, not showing up in usb device list, not charging, etc. Basically would require a trip to an authorized repair shop if not for someone posting the authfile on youtube.

        How did they get that file? Is it common nowadays, that this file is leaked?
