Install Android 8 - Oreo on your Redmi Note 4 Now! (voLTE Working!)
Android 8 has been officially launched to a limited number of devices, the Redmi Note 4 not being one of them. But the XDA-developers community has been active, and developers abhisek987 and highwaystar_ru have successfully ported Lineage OS running Android 8 on our device.
Here's the guide to install Android Oreo on your Redmi Note 4 now with full voLTE and hence Jio support.
Warning: Although there's an extremely low chance, we are not responsible for your phone getting bricked, loss of data, frozen SD cards, blown up batteries or World War III. You are choosing to do these modifications yourself and if you point a finger at me if something goes wrong, I will just laugh at you. (And maybe help you find a solution if you're a nice person).
