hi,
I'm new to the redmi note 3 and I'm not 100% sure how to update an ota.
I'm on global beta 6.4.28 with offical unlocked bootloader and twrp + patched boot.img.
now I received ota for 6.5.19. I wanted to install it but before that I tried to open the file and to extract and patch the boot.img but there is only a boot.img.p file. so I'm not sure how to proceed.
Try cofface twrp

Install the ROM through official TWRP and then run the universal boot image patcher zip from this link. That's what I do and it works great
is there a way do directly flash the ota from downloaded_rom folder? I get an error doing that

On global stable 7.2.3
What i have done till now-
Unlocked bootloader unofficially on 7.1.8, twrp flashed, edited ota 7.2.3 and flashed, rooted.
Everthing good for days till now.
To flash 7.2.5 what i did-
Restored unrooted 7.2.3 (twrp backup) with un patched boot.img.
Edited updater script of ota 7.2.5, replaced emmc
Flashed ota.
The problem-
Twrp skips the patching system image part (didn't touched this part while editing updater script) and patches boot.img fine.
Then bootloop. Tired safe twrp too.
What else i have done?
Flashed 7.1.8 again by mi tools and flashed edited 7.2.3 ota and then 7.2.5 ota. Twrp skips 7.2.5 system patching part.
Now after flashing 7.1.8 again by mi flash tool, twrp is skipping both otas 723 and 725 system patching part.
I am not getting it why.
Anyone face same issue? Or can anyone with unoffical unlock share there updater script for ota 7.2.5?
assuming you have 7.2.3 MIUI global stable installed, follow this steps:-
1) try this updater-script View attachment updater-script.zip in the OTA
2) boot to TWRP, and flash original boot.img of 7.2.3
3) flash the OTA of 7.2.5
4) flash universal boot.img patcher
tell me if it works

Here's what I had done :
1. Replaced boot.img in OTA zip with patched boot.img
2. Edited updater script to remove device verification (for status 7 errors)
and to remove package_extract_file lines for emmc_appsboot.mbn (there are 2 lines).
3. Removed emmc_appsboot.mbn from firmware_update folder.
4. Flashed the zip in TWRP 3.0.2-2.
5. Waited for boot and success!
I have attached my patched boot.img and updater-script. Replace the ones in the 7.2.5 OTA zip.
The issue was twrp mounting system as read/write. The Ota then skips system patching or bootloops after patching.
Fix: mount system as read only in twrp. Flash the Ota. Make a system+boot backup. Mount twrp read/write. Flash su and patched boot.img.
Apply next ota:restore stock system+boot backup. Mount system ready only. Flash Ota. Make new system+Ota backup. Mount system read/write. Flash su and patched boot.img. If success, delete old backup.
Ps. admin/moderator please close the thread.
Thank you.

I have official unlocked bootloader, with TWRP that patches boot.img automatically, and rooted Global Beta ROM on SD version. I successfully flashed full ROM zip without any problem, by just flashing in TWRP without any modifications or any other boot.img.
But I never flashed OTA before. I'm a little paranoid about this, I don't wanna brick my phone again. By my given condition, I should be able to flash OTA zips without any modifications, and keeping my TWRP and unlocked bootloader, right?

No I didn't. I flashed the modified one that I do not have to flash boot.img when flashing miui rom

You don't need boot.img if you use official TWRP.
http://linuxwelt.blogspot.de/2016/04/twrp-recovery-flashen-xiaomi-anleitung.html
Flash TWRP (just check the Screenshots) and after that you can flash OTA without problems (I did it 2 times). Have no problems.
But first take the new TWRP and make a backup with EFS on a USB Stick or sd card. If something go wrong you can restore your RN3P.
Official twrp?
Lol yea u mite be able to flash ota with official twrp but won't it lock the bootloader and boot.img..
But there mite be a way to make it work .
Use the original boot.img of the current ROM and flash then flash the otathat(so there won't be error 7) will fix the issue .and the twrp will auto patch the boot.img after update
As the tiltle says I want to install ota update on my phone. It's bootloader is officially unlocked, rooted amd xposed is also installed. I'm right now on cofface twrp.
Unless you made a backup of unmodified stock boot and system before rooting etc.
The ota will probably fail.
If you have made a backup of them? Then restore the backup and apply the OTA.
Make backups again if the OTA gets applied. Then root and install xposed again.
If you can follow this thread you see the steps involved in applying an ota.

I didnt made the back up of those files but today i unrooted, uninstalled xposed, flashed stock recovery but still ota fails.
i even followed the guide and replaced emmc file and modified updater script but twrp was not able to flash the update and can i install recovery rom using twrp even when im rooted and xposed is install adn do i lose data by flashing it?
Once you have modified your system and boot images. you can not unmodified them by removing the changes. Because the images will still be modified!
I don't know if you can flash the latest rom, without losing your data. What rom are you using?
I flashed xiaomi.eu rom, to avoid having to worry about getting and applying OTA updates. As detail in my previous post.
With xiaomi.eu rom, I can flash the updated roms without losing data.
You could try, making a TWRP backup of your data partition.
Flash the latest version of your rom.
Then if data gets wiped, restore the TWRP backup of data partition.
My phone was officially unlocked, used alka twrp. I can still have ota update of cause failed on incremental update, alter rebooted the phone, I received the second ota update full rom and flashed it , flashed superSU and exposed v86 with success.

To flash recovery MIUI rom through twrp, delete the emmc_appsboot.mbn file from the firmware_update folder inside the rom zip file, and then flash rom through ALKA TWRP .
To update rom, download OTA through updater app or MIUI site and then open the OTA zip file and delete emmc_appsboot.mbn file inside the firmware-update folder and then flash through ALKA TWRP .

Download ROM & Lazy flasher zip file flash it done
Sent from my Redmi Note 3 using Tapatalk
lazy flasher will not work,
just download rom and delete emmc.appsboot file in firmware update folder inside the zip and install
Pre-Requirements:
Supported for: Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro Max (Phoenixin) Indian variant only. The device should be running on stock ROM to apply the update. though the guide is universal for all Redmi Note 9 Pro Max phones but the links are for Indian variant only. DO NOT use on different ROM,, For other Varients use this guide but with specific ROM for your device variant.
Requires: A PC/Laptop and a USB cable. (use only the cable that came in box)
Charge: Keep your device charged more than 50%.
Steps :
1. Download MIUI V11.0.4.0.QJXINXM – Recovery ROM | OTA ROM (official link from xiaomi website for Indian varienat)
2. Mi Flash Tool – Download and Install it on your PC (required to unlock bootloader, which we will not discuss here)
3. Download ADB and Fastboot Tools on your computer
4. Download Xiaomi USB Drivers and install it on the PC
5. update or install the latest MIUI version on your Redmi Note 9 Pro Max (Phoenixin) successfully. Feel free to ask in the comments below for any queries. Current version at time of post is V11.0.4.0.QJXINXM (link above). Make sure the model of your phone and the installed firmware EXACTLY match what you're downloading. If they don't, it may not work correctly.
6. Install Magisk Manager (.apk) on your phone from the official Magisk repository.
7. Extract boot.img (about 132MB) from the official ROM zip you downloaded and transfer it to the phone. Click "install" in Magisk Manager and point it to boot.img. This should result in a patched magisk_patched.img (about 16MB - padding was removed), transfer this file to your computer. Ideally to the Mi Unlock folder where fastboot.exe is located.
8. Reboot your phone to fastboot recovery mode. Open a command prompt in the folder of the Mi Unlock tool and run
Code:
Code:
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
This flashes the patched Magisk-enabled bootloader to your phone.
9. Reboot the phone and that's it! Verify root status in the Magisk Manager app.
OTA Update
If I follow the way, wiil I get OTA update or Offcial updates from Redmi. If your ans will negative, will any process to get OTA update in the device when It will be rooted.
I tried this on Miui 12 (with it's recovery ROM) and it worked perfectly. Thanks

I think you'll still get OTA update but once you update the phone will loose root. So Don't worry about OTA update because you can always download the latest firmware posted on Xiaomi website. Root, install Xposed. Install xposed modules like Gravitybox, MiUi 8 Tweaks, Boot manager and you'll never think again of OTA because so much of customizations and performance improvements you can do on your own with these modules.
PS: Not all OTAs are good. Don't depend much on OTAs because some device manufacturers push OTA to make your device work bad and so you'll buy new phone.
Can any user of Redmi Note 9 Pro Max confirm that you have rooted successfully? please
anyone successfully unlocked redmi note 9 pro max bootloader,currently the official tool is showing to wait 360hours,any other ways to unlock
