Not able to flash any ROM - I'm desperate - Redmi Note 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a Redmi Note 2. When I try to falsh any ROM the phone only shows black and white stripes on the screen. No MI logo, nothing.
I tried plenty of different ROMs with MIUI 7, I tried official update over the update-app, recovery ROM install and fast boot flashing. Everytime the same result. The flash process itself every time works fine, but after the reboot the phone is broken.
Only with one fast boot ROM (hermes_global_images_V7.1.1.0.LHMMICK_20151221.0000.11_5.0_global) I can unbrick the phone afterwards (for luck).
The reason why I try to use an other ROM is, that I want to have a german ROM.
Any ideas? Do I have a hardware problem?

Let us rewind to the very first ROM that you tried to flash. Which ROM is it? That may provide clues (e.g., it flashed the "wrong" preloader/lk, etc).

hm.. unfortunately, I do not know ..

A salutary lesson to not flash ROMs that you don't have records of. This means that it is impossible to help you identify what exactly went wrong.
If all else fails, then you can try the "full install" download here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67164284&postcount=569
Perhaps installing it might help recover your device - and perhaps not. I don't think it can make things any worse - but use at your own peril.

I did a full install with that ROM using TWRP. Same effect.

Seems to me that you either have a hardware problem, or that you might have installed a ROM that locked your bootloader.
If hermes_global_images_V7.1.1.0.LHMMICK_20151221.00 00.11_5.0_global still works, then you clearly don't have a hardware problem. You might want to stick with it. Perhaps it is the one that instaled a locked bootloader?

Been using redmi note 2 prime and done many flashing on official rom, global dev rom to cn dev rom without problems.
1) enabled development option and ticked the usb debugging.
2) which rom you are using? Xiaomi.eu or miui offiial? If you were using xiaomi.eu rom then you better go there and ask for help because there changed the twrp when you flashed their rom even you already had twrp.
3) If official rom and your phone was not fake. Then goto miui forum or xda to seek for help. Which twrp were you using? I am using twrp 3003 from here: http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=224679&extra=pag and never failed me on flashing rom, backup and restore.
4) if you are using german language, the offical miui global dev rom will suit you. It have multi languages including german.
5) my redmi note 2 prime was on global dev rom and I had flashed my son's redmi 2 on miui official global dev rom for him using in Germany. My redmi note 3 pro was officially unlocked and i was using the miui8 cn dev rom rooted by superSU. Also you can downloaded the official rom from here: http://en.miui.com/

I stand corrected - but I believe I have read on this forum that some recent ROM releases lock the bootloader.

I was on latest official miui 7 global dev rom rom. The bootloader was not locked. Only there disabled the root function on cn dev rom.

Great news. So these reports have (and will) not come to RN2? :
http://www.xda-developers.com/xiaom...akes-up-to-21-days-bricked-devices-must-wait/
http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-2/general/xiaomi-locks-bootloader-update-6-1-14-t3294967

Only for those new devices like mi 5, redmi note 3, redmi 3 etc. I personally used redmi note 2 prime with global dev rom 6.5.27. But my redmi note 3 pro was officially unlocked, used latest cn dev rom, alka twrp and rooted by superSU. Latest rom cn 6.6.18(miui 8).

If you don't have the bootloader unlocked, it's normal it will stuck on boot.
While about a stock rom for Redmi, you have them, but you need always to unlock bootloader first.
I'm searching Roms for bootloader locked, but there are not too much, and the only one you have are developed from a Thai rom, full of bugs (SIM problems first).

try this:
-after you've flashed the rom, and it' s in bootloop, reflash the twrp 3.0.2 again (miflash or fastboot is the same, but miflash in download mode is better(to flash it with miflash you need e miflash version of twrp))
-if the recover runs fine, then wipe cache from the new recovery (factory reset)
-restart in system
I've never tested this with CM but, with xiaomi.eu miui and bootloader locked worked fine for me (redmi 3 - ido)

Apps not installing on Xiaomi redmi 3 pro

Hi. I have the problem since i bought the phone. I have Xiaomi redmi 3 pro with MIUI 7.2.7.0.0 Stable. Apps are not installing after download. I have to reboot to install an app, and then reboot again if i want to install another app. Tried unistalling google play, clearing cache, and other things, nothing worked. It is very frustrating. I found other people complaining about the same thing but no answer.
Flash latest developer firmware and install google apps after it. Clear data on all google apps installed, reboot phone, add google account and everything should work normally.

No need to unlock bootloader if you are not planning to install CM or custom firmware. Also there is SpaceX MIUI 8 firmware for locked boot.

Updater app will not work in your current rom, b'coz its not miui official rom.
Flash miui official rom (currently only china version available) via mi flash tool (fastboot rom)

Jumping on MIUI 8 MM

Hello,
I've always been in Lollipop builds of MIUI, but since there's MM based MIUI 8 now I want to jump on that. previously, I'd do things as follows,
1. Flash MIUI fastboot ROM.
2. If bootloader was locked unlock it using MiUnlock program.
3. Flash TWRP.
4. Boot TWRP.
5. Flash universal boot img patcher.
6. Flash SU.
7. Flash Xposed.
8. Boot the ROM for the first time.
The way I describe above works flawlessly with LL MIUI ROMs, but since I want to jump on the MM ones, I was wondering if the same could be done with the MM based ROM or if I need to change something. Previously on the leaked MM Rom I got problems with UBP and the rom became finicky to boot. It would boot once but a reboot gave bootloop.
Any kind user if you have any advice on having MM with root and xposed please share your knowledge on how I need to go about doing that.
Thanks in advance.
What rom did you have, global dev rom or stable rom? My case at first was on global dev rom(LL) and received an ota update, then I copied it to external sd card, flashed by alka twrp the rom, superSU and xposed-v86-sdk23-arm64-MIUI-edition-by-SolarWarez-20160710.zip in one single flashed with success.

Previously I had to flash UBP to keep the recovery intact. Is that not necessary anymore? it was 6.7.21 leaked MARSHMALLOW. LL works fine.
Use lazyflasher for mm instead of ubp

Stuck on boot animation Resurrection Remix

STUCK ON BOOT ANIMATION
I have a Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 (Kenzo). When installing latest version of Resurrection Remix of this device(July 9, weekly) , it gets gets stuck on " Get Resurrected" logo (more than 15 mins). I saw a video on YouTube, flashing ROM, dated 25th April(nightly). I did the same and woah, it worked. Why is this happening?
Here's what I did (from starting)--
1. Was on MIUI version 8.5. Downgraded to 7.18, unlocked bootloader (unofficially).
2. Installed twrp 3.0.2 recovery. Wiped everything (except microSD).
3. Flashed cm14.1 firmware ( read on xda or something that flash this before flashing any nougat ROM).
4. Flashed latest build, with gapps, and mi boot logo.
5. Stuck on "get Resurrected".
6. As I was stuck, I wiped everything (except microSD). Now flashed 25th April ROM, with gapps and Mi boot logo.
And everything works fine in this. Although LED continuously flashes red while charging, but it isn't much of a problem.
Anyone else encountered this problem? 
You have to upgrade your bootloader to flash latest custom ROMs , find tutorial to unlock bootloader on MIUI 8 . That's it everything will be fine .

You are saying that I don't have to downgrade to miui7, instead, I need to unlock bootloader from miui 8. Right?

I flashed latest China Dev ROM and unlocked officially. And flashed latest RR ROM . It's working great. But I have a doubt. I didn't flash any firmware. Will it give me problems later on?
Also, is the bootloader relocked now?
Don't worry bootloader is still unlocked if you are from China dev it's good but better flash Global dev firmware if you're from any other place or if experiencing some issues

Miui 11 wont boot...

Hi guys,
So I have a Redmi 5 Plus, which has served me very well for two years.
I was getting rather restless and i decided to unlock the bootloader, install twrp and flash some custom roms. I played around with Havoc and a couple of others. In the end i found it impossible to live without call recording and second space, and so i installed Miui 11 Android 9 which i got off xiaomi.eu
It worked perfectly. However, the other day i was having a slow day at work and thought i would play around some more. I installed crdroid and pixel experience, and replaced twrp with orangefox. Played around with them and still decided to revert to Miui 11. When i flashed it though, on reboot it stays on the mi logo for a few minutes and then reboots. It repeats this a few times and then goes back into recovery.
What am i doing wrong? I would apreciate any advice as to how i can get my miui back!
Thanks
Iam
U format the data partition not wipe? Best fix is step by step. Mi flash tool with the fastboot rom and then foward, sorry.
Mi flash tool have an option to relock the bootloader :angel:

My bad - I guess it was Android 8 not 9. The file name was "xiaomi.eu_multi_HM5Plus_V11.0.3.0.OEGCNXM_v11-8.1.zip"

Thanks for responding friend. Do I need to relock? Ideally i would like to eventually come back to the miui 11 i had flashed.
Would i be correct in flashing the stock rom throught fastboot, without relocking, and then flash the xiaomi.eu miui 11 rom?
Thanks once again
