Now you can download and install official LineageOS 14.1 on Redmi Note 4 (Mido) running on MIUI 8 or MIUI 9. If you already received the latest update, you might have lost the root access. Else, you can directly install the latest official LineageOS 14.1 ROM, based on Nougat 7.1.2, over TWRP recovery.

Official LineageOS 14.1 for Redmi Note 4 (Snapdragon) is available for public download and I suggest you check your device variant before proceeding with this installation. Redmi Note 4 has different variants and this particular ROM only supports the Global Snapdragon edition, codenamed as “Mido”.

The compatibility with other variants is untested. So I suggest you make a full backup prior modifying your stock system. If your device is already rooted, the NANDROID backup (with TWRP) is the safest backup method. Else, manually move media files, contacts, documents and similar important files to a safe location.

Installing official LineageOS 14.1 on Redmi Note 4 (Mido) doesn’t require computer access. Which means, the installation can be done easily without PC. Follow the below instructions to manually update the device to the LineageOS custom ROM.
