How to install or upgrade my Redmi note 4 from 7.x to 8.0?

[7875504044]

Hello,

I have redmi note 4 with android OS 7.x and it never picked android 8 or above. Is my phone not compatible with android 8? if yes, how can upgrade to 8?

Please advise, thanks!!

Welcome to the forums. You would have to prep your computer to use ADB and Fastboot commands, install a custom recovery, and then install a custom ROM.

I would read as many instructions as you can, watch several YouTube videos more than once, until you feel comfortable flashing the ROM.

Here are a couple ROMs to choose from:

Make sure model numbers match before doing anything.
