crDroid 20 Flashing Guide Redmi Note 11S

Flashing ROM:

1. Flash crDroid recovery (boot.img)

fastboot flash boot crdroid_boot.img

2. Reboot to crDroid recovery

fastboot reboot recovery

3. In recovery select Apply Update

4. Sideload from ADB / flash ROM from SD card.

- adb sideload crdroid.zip

- or select crdroid zip from SD card

5. After flashing select NO when asked to reboot to recovery

6. Factory reset / Format data

7. Reboot to system

Flashing Gapps on Vanilla build:

1. Reboot to recovery
2. Format data/factory reset
3. Apply update

Sideload from ADB or SD Card

- adb sideload gapps.zip

- or select gapps package from SD card

4. Reboot to system

Dirty flashing Vanilla ROM (Upgrading from previous version):

1. Reboot to recovery
2. Flash ROM
3. After flashing select NO when asked to reboot to recovery
4. Reboot directly to recovery (Hold volume + once you click reboot to system)
5. Flash Gapps/MicroG
6. Reboot to system

Notes:

- You can try using local OTA update for vanilla build but I CAN'T GUARRANTEE everything will work after update (Gapps must support addon.d).

- For some reason reboot to recovery doesn't work. Use volume + button when rebooting to system instead.

- Flashing with TWRP / OFOX is supported.

- Recovery supports touch (even if it doesn't look like it does)

- Dirty flashing with TWRP/OFOX is the same as with crDroid recovery. Only difference is that TWRP/OFOX doesn't ask you to reboot to recovery after flashing, which is mandatory, and also you can directly reboot to recovery without holding volume +

- If you reboot to system without flashing gapps, and you previously had them (when dirty flashing), you have high chance of breaking the system. It's recommended to format data in that case, then flash gapps or microG.

- People who don't use any kind of gapps or microG package (if any exist) can skip dirty process and just flash ROM and reboot.
