Flashing official ROMs via TWRP - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers

Hey guys. I have unlocked my bootloader, TWRP 3.0.2.1 is installed. I was able to install aosp-5.1.1-prerooted-v4 and MIUI7 5.1 RN3Pro 6.4.21 greatslon.
However, I have issues flashing official ROMs, e.g. 6.4.14 (MIUI7) (http://en.miui.com/download-301.html) is getting stuck on Miui logo.
Am I missing something?

You need to flash patched boot.IMG file for respective ROM you are flashing Using TWRP..
you can find them here..

Try using the newest TWRP that auto-patches the boot.img for you

Bootloop Please help

Ok , So I finally was able to unlock my bootloader after getting that 50 % error, I thought that I'd flash miui 8 , so I downloaded the rom from official mi website and flashed it with twrp but for some reason I got stuck in a bootloop. I dont want to download fastboot rom as it takes a lot of time due to slow internet, so could anyone tell me how can i successfully flash a rom from twrp. I've got bot miui 8 chinese developer rom and global beta rom downloaded.
You need patched boot for normal twrp or u must use cofface twrp to flash the rom.
You cant flash stock rom via twrp without patched boot.img
And if you are flashing marshmallow rom u must know that the bootloader will lock itself again.
Why not just flash the miui.eu version? No boot image mess..

where can I find a patched boot.img for latest chinese developer rom.Thanx for the fast reply.
Just use cofface recovery for stock roms:

I think that the Alca recovery do the same, but I haven't test it yet

Flashing Miui 8 via TWRP

Hello all
I have been using CM13 so far on my Redmi Note 3 (Snapdragon). I would like to flash official Miui 8 recovery ROM. I have "twrp cofface" recovery. However, whenever I try to flash the .zip via my twrp recovery, it re-locks the bootloader and replaces my twrp with stock recovery and effectively the phone goes into boot loop.
I have unlocked my bootloader officially. Could anyone tell me how do I flash Miui ROM from TWRP recovery? Do I need another variant of the TWRP? I dont want to flash Miui ROM via fastboot as it would involve installing mi flashing tool. Is it possible to flash Miui via twrp without re-locking bootloader and also keeping the custom recovery?
Thanks.
I just found out I need to flash alka twrp. I did so and now I can flash Miui 8 without any problems. Please close this thread. Thanks.

Error Code 7 while flashing new ROM or twrp and Remote dtb not found

Here is the Solution watch this video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTdKmceC5xU
am not able to update twrp
twrp-3.1.0-0-onyx.img
twrp-3.0.3-0-onyx.img
twrp-3.0.2-1-onyx.img
when i flashed these files using twrp and rebooted my device i was stuck in one plus logo.
Even i cant flash any of above 3 twrp files using fastboot adb method i am getting an error "remote dtb not found" pls check screenshot
then i reinstalled twrp-3.0.2-0-onyx.img using adb fastboot method , but i cant not install or update version above 3.0.2.0 plz help
Hi guys if anyone facing same problem Read this
PROBLEM
1)Error Code 7 while flashing new ROM (like Nogut ROMS ).
2)Remote dtb not found while updating old twrp to new (eg. twrp 2.8 to twrp 3.1.0.0)
Cause of problem
Users who have already flashed and rooted their phone and using custom ROMs like CM12 CM 13 or any other from past year will likely to face this problem
while updating twrp recovery or while updating to new custom ROM Nogut cm14 .
Because new custom ROMs have bootloader in diffrent partition (something like this) so you wont be able to flash your phone with new ROMs i.e cm14 or nogut or you wont be able to flash new twrp recovery which is 3.1.0.0
Please keep in mind if you are using following twrp version then you should flash your phone with old twrp 2.8.7.0
twrp-3.0.2-0-onyx.img 14.4M 2016-04-04 23:04:23 EDT
twrp-3.0.1-0-onyx.img 14.5M 2016-04-01 04:24:54 EDT
twrp-3.0.0-1-onyx.img 14.5M 2016-02-15 23:17:25 EST
twrp-3.0.0-0-onyx.img 14.4M 2016-02-06 09:18:41 EST
above point is important look at the solution now
Solution
Step
1)flash your phone with old twrp version TWRP 2.8.7.0 using fastboot method(because we are going to install stock recovery in my case stock recovery of oneplus X lollipop version)
2)after installing stock recovery install 2.14 ver of stock ROM of oneplus X (for oneplus x devices) (for other brands eg samsung look for ur old stock recov and ROM)
3)install old Stock ROM in ur device
4)now again boot into stock recovery and install latest stock ROM (for oneplus X i installed latest oneplus X oxygen OS 3.1.4).
5)after doing above step you can install latest twrp-3.1.0-0-onyx.img without any "remote dte not found error" using fastboot.
6)once you flash twrp-3.1.0-0-onyx.img flash your phone with latest CM14 or any latest android N or nogut ROM without any problem
Note : For error code 7 some people suggested to edit udatescrip file which is not good solution and it is temporary and it wont work for all so do it as i suggested
Comman ERRORS :
1) if you are on twrp 3.x.x.x you will face Remote dte not found while booting your phone in stock recovery using fastboot
so first of all flash your phone with old twrp 2.8.7.0.
2)Do not wipe your internal storage in frustration it will create more problems because you wont be able to transfer files into your phone to flash it (Use OTG cable or SD card if u did it already).P.S you can do it afterwards
Do i need to install stock recovery of stock ROM ? some help would really be appreciated
i can install all twrp upto "twrp3020 " version
but if i try to flash greater version like twrp3021 or twrp3100 m getting same error
i need new twrp because i am not able to flash Android N custome roms i am getting an error code 7 when i am installing ROM
Follow the mega unbrick guide, then update your bootloader then flash latest twrp.

are you on stock recovery right now ?
Finaly the Lv.2 support got it back working via "our" msm unbrick tool (Still got it on my drive =D)
but learned nothing - trying to get lineageOS again.
The recovery is now TWRP v3.1.0-0 for E1003_15_161107 (it works for now on a backup..)
But... i must say - I'm very worried that i cant flash lineage again..
I dont know what the trick is...

Bootloop after flashing rr nougat

Hey guys.
I'm using a 32/3GB kenzo with an unlocked bootloader running official rr mm.
I formatted the phone, flashed CM14 firmware, flashed the official RR nougat and GAPPS, then rebooted to system.
At this point, it started bootlooping, booting to the MI splashscreen, staying there for about half the time it usually does, before rebooting and repeating the process.
At this point, I was unable to access recovery, but was able to access fastboot and edl.
Flashing a recovery using the "fastboot flash recovery" command failed, so I assume that the partitions were corrupted.
I had to revert to MIUI by flashing through edl using MI flash, which fixed all the issues.
Can someone tell me what I did wrong?
Or should I follow the newbie guide 2.0 from the forums?
Thanks in advance to anyone who replies.

Which recovery you uaed for flashing rr n. Because you went bootloop and recovery was not able to access that means may be some problems in recovery or either in rom/gapps zip. Make sure you are flashing gapps for NOUGAT only. And use latest stable miui firmware (not cm14 zip one although may be both are same)
Try this
1. Flash zcx recovery (I recommend this, never disappointed)
2. Flash latest miui stable firmware
3. Flash rom zip
4. Flash gapps n
Boot to system
5. Then flash kernel or anything.

Thanks for the reply, I'll try it soon. Can you tell me how to get the miui stable firmware?
Should I fastboot flash latest MIUI stable before flashing the ROM or is there a MIUI firmware zip file to flash?

There is flashable zip file which is extracted from miui rom only. So both way will be good as flash latest stable miui rom and then twrp > rom zip > gapps. Or twr0 > firmware zip (search in any custom rom thread you will get one) > custom rom zip > gapps.
Only benefit of flashing firmware zip is less time consuming and less file size (around 50mb) compare to full miui rom.

Can i flash stock rom using twrp ?

I am on Global stable miui 8.2.4 but for some reasons i don't like it and i wanna downgrade to 8.1.15 . I have Twrp installed and rooted . Can i flash recovery 8.1.15 rom using twrp ?
Or i need to flash a fastboot rom using twrp ?
somebody?
I have flashed stock 8.2.4.0 from 8.2.2.0 with flashfire, although I have twrp too. No problems just put the zip in right folder.
Yes you can. I have flashed both dev and stable. @jazzh mentions something about folders. TWRP doesn't really care about that.
Be warned though that flashing the official zip also replaces the recovery and there is a bug with 8.1.15 where you cannot flash TWRP back afterwards.
If you go back to 8.1.15 and want to use TWRP for flashing a custom rom simply use
fastboot boot [recovery name].img
to soft load TWRP and do all your work from there up.
Yes, that's a good advice.
I soft boot twrp whenever performing backup or updating magisk.
I just mentioned folders because flashfire is started from os and it will look into the ota folder and if it finds the zip it will offer rebooting to perform the update.
