[REQ] : Redmi note 8 pro guide

jhayar0719

Hi ,
would like to request a full guide on how i can return back to android ? i'm not yet installing UT on the device because i'm looking for the guide how can i return to android if i found UT uncomfortable .

as per other user, when we install UT it will remove the current recovery , it will replace by UT recovery .

The only way i can flash android is via recovery , and as off now i have TWRP recovery .

but if this will replace by UT recovery ? how can i return to android ?

is there any tools ?
can i flash TWRP recovery even my OS still in UT ?

sorry i i posted it on the root category , because there's no category for redmi note 8 pro thanks

No problem.
But didn't you were able to post it in Xiaomi main category ?
I ask this because there where some permission issue in some main category for some users.

@jhayar0719 I would have a good search on the web. I don't have your phone and they can all have different methods.

Hi thanks for the response , i cannot find any on the web ,

the question i need to answer before i can proceed to install ubuntu touch is
does UT allows to change its recovery to TWRP or CWM recovery ?

if TWRP or CWM recovery can be flash even the OS still in UT maybe from there i can flash android .

How did you originally flash TWRP on your device? Just use the same method and go from there. No special guide needed.

@jhayar0719
okay i installed ubuntu touch ? it was 16.04 ?

does ut supports only 16.04 ? or there's a way that we can update it

also i try waydroid helper ? how many minutes/hours does installing waydroid takes ?

hope that the package manager adds progress bar while installing apps so we know if the app installation stucks ?

will try all the stuff then will get back if somethings goes wrong thanks

UPDATE:

per documentation waydroid supposedly works , but when i install via waydroid helper , then the phone reboots and when i start waydroid , it crashed , any workarounds ?

@jhayar0719 UT is currently based on 16.04. Focal 20.04 is on the way and moving along well https://forums.ubports.com/topic/8116/ubuntu-touch-20-04-getting-closer As for WAyDroid that is a seperate project so try asking here https://t.me/waydroidonut

Yes, of course. As long as you can boot up into fasboot/bootloader mode you can flash any recovery you like. But only do this if and when you want to flash Android.

will it work without problem ?
thanks

That depends on how closely you follow the instructions you find online, and if they are any good to begin with.
