RN7

I have replied you on the Xiaomi Tweak Thread.

RN7

I can't seem to find anything on Redwolf recovery for RN7, but I was able to see some development from the OrangeFox and PitchBlack recovery teams.

The lastest OrangeFox build for RN7 explicitly stated that it doesn't support MIUI OTA, but fortunately for you PitchBlack does support the feature, atleast, that is what is stated on their official site.

I will implore you to search this link @pbtwrp on telegram and join the PitchBlack Recovery Download Project Channel. Check for download link for your device(Lavender).

Kindly do your due diligence before flashing anything and make sure you make a comprehensive BACKUP.

Mfunkynation:
pls point me to a link. thanks

Which model are you using?

genius43:
Incremental updates are those little updates we get via OTA usually between 20-700MB. Full ROM is downloaded from MIUI website around 1.7GB and it is installed manually. People who have custom recovery mostly have to update their phones manually by downloading the full ROM.

Bros! Custom recoveries like Redwolf allows you to install those incremental updates.
You just need to download those updates like normal and press install. The phone will reboot into the custom recovery and do the rest.
Just put in mind that some prerequisites are involved before you can go through with updates with such custom recoveries.
As I have earlier stated, I used a particular version of Redwolf to do the above when I was still on stock MiUi on my Redmi Note 4 and it went well.
I can't guarantee it is available on newer models, but a check on Xda and other developers' site will throw in more light.

Mfunkynation:
I use Redwolf Recovery on my note 5a but couldn't update after downloading the OTA via updater. It was just wasting my data.

There are some particular steps to follow to achieve successful OTA update through Redwolf Recovery. Search online for it, preferably Xda.

Mfunkynation:
Any Recovery that allows incremental OTA update like stock recovery?
I don't have money to be downloading full Rom package every time there's an OTA

Redwolf recovery does that on my Note 4 when I was still om stock rom, I can't say for other models.

I use to take some people seriously on here, but it's evident they lack basic knowledge and they won't accept they don't know.
Or they know and just prefer to go with whatever supports their claims in any arguement.

I think we’ve derailed the thread enough.

There is no need for anybody quoting any of my long posts again.

Dam5reey:
Seems you don't understand what ppi mean, Go and read more..

What determine PPI is Screen resolution and Display size..

Your half baked knowledge, tell people smaller display make PPI higher..

Why didn't they Match up the screen resolution to achieve better PPI

Are you a learner?

You by yourself know the bolded and you still don't know why Mi9SE has an higher PPI than Mi9T?

Two phones with similar resolution and one having a smaller size.

And our Bros still doesn't know why one has a slightly higher PPI?

And the last part, they should match up the resolution probably put a 2k screen in order to prove a point to you abi?
Where the heck are these points coming from now

Bros! You dey fall my hand seriously and e dey pain me gan.

Dam5reey:
You started it, when you said Higher ppi was due to small display

I will repeat again, I overestimated your knowledge on mobile devices. This time, it is pun intended.

Even with the fact that I ain't the one who stated the bolded, shouldn't this be one of the simplest things a phone enthusiast should know?

Why does the Mi9SE have an Higher PPI than the Mi9T?

If your answer to this question is "because the display is better" and not "because the display is smaller", kindly refrain from quoting my moniker on this particular arguement again.

I can't be wasting my time with anybody that has no basic knowledge of how mobile devices work.
And will now go further and post nonsense to back up his claims!
Nonsense and ingredients

godspeed:
This Canadian site even rates the mi 9 SE higher than the K20PRO

This post here sums up what you’ve been on about since the inception of the arguement.

Just so you can prove a lie, you went ahead to dig up unfounded nonsense to back up your claims.

Anything that supports your claim, even if they ain't reputable and ain't a good source of reference.

Any right thinking person that has followed this arguement will by now know you don't have any reasonable thing to add.

Console yourself with your Mi9SE. It is a very good device, but the Mi9T is just better.

Dam5reey:
It's obvious you know that too.. Mi 9T has bigger battery because of Bigger display

Like I have stated earlier, you always find a way to go off point.
And the Mi9T pro has a bigger battery than Mi9 because it has a bigger display abi?

No need to quote me on this again, cos it's obvious you will still shift the goal post again.

godspeed:
4 it's cheaper and more cost effective than the k20

See without any bias, I posted a comparison between the mi 9 SE and the superior k20 pro, and they match exactly the same in all key areas save for battery and chipset.

Compared to the k20, they both trump themselves in 2 significant areas, the k20 in battery and chipset, and the SE in camera and display.

Given this fact, the mi 9 SE is a steal for its price

The only thing Mi9SE stole is your money compared to the better Mi9T.

Oya rest now!

The price difference is just around 10k when comparing the price of the Mi9SE 6GB/128GB from AliExpress to that of Mi9T 6GB/128GB available in Nigeria.

And one Bros is shouting cost effectiveness
And Customs might just help you add the remaining 10k as per kola money

godspeed:
Now I'm changing tactics, going from defensive to offensive.

Why the mi 9 SE is better than the k20

1. Better display. Why am I not surprised that none of you have addressed this, the mi 9 SE has a better display compared to k20 or k 20 pro.
432 ppi density against 403 ppi density. The display of the mi 9 SE is out of this world and comparable to many flagships.

On this device, u get to watch films like on a Samsung flagship

See what this UK reviewer had to say about it

Damn! I hope this is a joke right?

godspeed:
Oh, so u are going microscopic now, signs of desperation. Didn't u watch the YouTube video attached, they are the same thing.

My finger unlocks my phone in less than a second

You asked for features that are better and I added more so wetin you no understand? which one be desperation for here? You are the one not willing to accept the truth when it's staring you in the face na.

godspeed:
You are not them, they are not you but the facts are there for u to see.

That's the direction I'm facing

Your points on this particular arguement and facts are world's apart. I doubt you understand what fact means in this context.

No dey drag us back abeg.

One phone is better than the other when every factor is considered and that is Mi9T.

godspeed:
Then knock it off, the radio and the earphone jack talk

If it is between Mi9SE and Mi9T there is no locking up
Mi9T offers more at a very close price to Mi9SE.

When e reach to argue other brands we go open new thread for those ones.

godspeed:
You are very funny oooo. See, I once changed phones 3 times a year because they didn't offer what I wanted. You know I just read reviews and watch YouTube videos, but when they finally arrive, I feel less impressed, sell at a discount and move to the next one.

If I feel the k20 is better than what I got, it cost me nothing to Sell it off and buy the k20. Knowing the frequency with which I change phones, u know how many of my colleagues are queuing behind my phone when it's up for sale

Bros! Everything you stated here is your personal problem, e no concern us and it doesn't make the Mi9SE a better overall device than Mi9T.

You no wan buy na for your Pocket.

godspeed:
What in saying is new design will come every day it doesn't necessarily render it previous device archaic.

People are still buying the iPhone 7 and iPhone 8 with bezels.

Even the iPhone X with notch does not look old compared to ur k20

And this reply shows you’ve not been following at all. I never insinuated that the previous device is suddenly archaic, at least not immediately.
But over time, customers will move towards the newer and trendy design.
Me and you can agree you won't buy a new flagship with Samsung S6-esque design.

We can all avoid the design arguement and excuse it as a subjective part of phones, but who are we kidding? The OEMs have studied their customers and trend and they know whatsup.

godspeed:
And does the price difference justify the negligible difference between the two devices

This ”negligible” is your creation.
Remind me of the generation of Underscreen fingerprint sensor on the Mi9SE compared to the Mi9T.

godspeed:
This is not my business, ur ally provided a screenshot that shows the mi 9 SE is better in design and then another ally of yours posted the YouTube link that also confirms the mi 9 SE is better in design.

Pele, friendly fire I guess.

Am I him? Is he me? Is me them?

Just because some of our points align doesn't mean we agree on every point.

So kindly face the direction you are heading to.

Dam5reey:
Stop saying Launch price.. it pointless..

Why did Xiaomi reduce the price?

The same reason the Mi8 was reduced when Mi9 launched.

Dam5reey:
If the price is the same buy latest,

So as Xiaomi release devices we should throw away old one and buy a new one at Higher cost at Launch..



I'm done here

When was the arguement ever about anybody throwing away their old device to get the latest one?

Incase you need a reminder, the arguement was and still what is the better overall device between Mi9SE and Mi9T.

Is that too hard for you to comprehend?

Dam5reey:
You guys claimed 3.5mm and Radio is what make Mi 9T, automatically it's better than any phone that does not have it..

This reply is pointless.

Dam5reey:
You think people using Redmi note 4 are using a dead phone abi..

Even your phone is not made in 2019, whats your point?

You are contradicting your self,

My analogy is in line with the car you mentioned.

How may people buy 2019 model ?

I'm using Pixel 2, the experience is far better than your Mi 9T.

At the bolded above, just because it is still working well doesn't mean I should recommend it over Redmi 5 plus now.

Dam5reey:
That means Mi 9T is better than OnePlus 7 pro,

Same thing we are saying and all started quoting out of context

You have a very good way of going off point and shifting the goal post in all your arguements.

The bolded is your own creation. You are entitled to whatever way you feel like interpreting straightforward statements and this won't change the fact in those statements.

Dam5reey:
Phones are always better than the other..

Why Should I buy a phone worth 120K when there is another worth less, that does almost the same task..

It will be a dumb decision to buy Mi 9 of 140K what all I want to do is social media and movies...

Then cost effectiveness come in, Mi 9 SE will perform all task Mi 9T will perform. At a lower cost.

You guys can continue arguing in a circle..

Your own stand is cost effectiveness and in a way you might have a tiny point. However, this doesn't make the Mi9SE a better device than Mi9T.

Just because the Redmi Note 7 is more cost effective than the Redmi Note 7 pro doesn't make it a better device.

Your brother @godspeed stated that he wants to go a step further and prove to us that the Mi9SE is the better device..
So your own arguement is a bit different from his.

And the comparison was at launch. I dare say the Mi9SE was way less cost effective at launch because it offers less compared to Mi9T now.

”Radio is useless, it is irrelevant” ”There is Internet radio now” yen yen!
Get to a remote area without internet network and tell me how you will access Internet Radio.

Una wey dey even use the Internet Radio, how many places for Naija get good network?

As old as the technology behind radio is, it is still one of the most relevant means of passing information around the world, especially developing countries like ours.

Mykcool:
I didn't say flagship aren't worth it. What I'm saying is in essence is that due to some people's operations they might not see the difference between the flagship and midrange, and also the usefulness of some features

I get your drift bro. Whichever way we want to put it, the Mi9T will come first before the Mi9SE in most comparison list. It is just the overall better device.

godspeed:
I agree with u, in the end it boils down to personal preferences like u said, I will choose a smaller phone with a decent battery over a bigger phone. I so much detest big phones .

As for the radio part , but my headset and Bluetooth speaker HV radios, so if I should ever find my self in that situation I'll still be good

The funny thing about this your personal preference talk is that it is too late already for you to go to that route.

Your personal preference for Mi9SE doesn't make it a better device than the Mi9T.

I will repeat it again here, the basis of your argument has been on trying to console yourself for not waiting a little bit longer and getting the newer Mi9T

Well! Sorry it happens to the best of us.

godspeed:
My brother, design will always continue to change and that will not always mean you'll throw away the last one.

But then, the mi 9 SE is still better in design

At the bolded, tell that to all OEMs doing away with the bezels with every release.

Even the likes of Tecno and family are not left behind.

Mykcool:
That's just it, some need that flagship device because it reduces delay encountered on lower models. Some people's phones are their office, while some use theirs for just calls and text

Just because your need doesn't warrant those extra features a Flagship has doesn't mean the midrange you are settling for is a better or a match with any flagship device.

The Mi9T is an overall better device than Mi9SE when every available factor has been considered.
