Hello Everyone,
Is it possible to install SuperSU on my Redmi Note 3 without TWRP? I am currently on latest version of China Dev with officially unlocked bootloader.
I am okay with temporary flash of TWRP, but want to be stock recovery, after installing SuperSU.
Is it possible at all? If yes, can someone please guide me with the process.
You need to have a unlocked bootloader - either officially or unofficially (search the forums for the methods)
copy the latest supersu.zip to your memory card/internal memory
reboot to fastboot by holding the volume up and power button
set up adb on your computer
copy the cofface twrp for redmi note 3 into your adb folder on the computer ( do not use the official twrp, cos you need a modified boot.img for it to work)
then type "fastboot boot cofface.img" (replace cooface.img with the file name of your recovery)
your will boot into a temporary twrp
install the supersu.zip and reboot
Voila!
Thanks...I already did that before your response and it looks to be working fine...thanks again

Helo friends, I am new to redmi note 3 (sd). I officially unlocked the boot loader. I updated my device to 7.3.2 using miflash. I tried to install TWRP. I flashed the TWRP img and modified img. I tried to enter TWRP by pressing vol+ & power button. BUT no recovery was found . Simply Phone with cable image is showing in display. I followed all the steps carefully. I tried Cofface version and also the latest one.
Somebody please guide me step by step procedure to install TWRP. Somebody have the proper modified image for 7.3.2??? If yes means please give me the link.
In 7.1.8 i was able to get the TWRP. Is there any way to update to miui 7.3.2 by TWRP from 7.1.8
MIUI overwrites your recovery, disable it with the ALKA recovery, which can be found in Santosh's thread.
Here is what I did, to make TWRP workable, and it's very easy, no pc needed.
1. Install flashify
2. Install twrp with flashify but do not reboot yet
3. copy alka twrp to your phone
4. when it's done reboot your phone in flashify (right corner, reboot to recovery)
5. make system r/w (you will lose ota but screw it..., no other way to make twrp permanent on the phone)
6. flash alka update
7. reboot in twrp -> system
8. TWRP will give you a pop-up which tells you that you would like to disable the stock recovery, and just simply allow it to do it.
9. boom, done
Thanks bro!!!!!!!
Now i got both root and recovery on 7.3.2

Simple steps:
1. Go in fastboot mode.
2. Flash official twrp.
3. Boot in recovery.
4. Flash supersu zip.
5. Reboot your phone.
And yeah, allow modification to system partition when asked in recovery. The only downside of the official recovery is that it will be replaced by the stock recovery on boot. No prob, you can flash it again. No need to flash custom cooked boot image or something.
To keep recovery forever:
In system partition, there will be a file next to build.prop, named something like recovery-boot-bak or something, delete it and then flash twrp and this time it will stay.

After flashing for ex. Resurrection Remix (or any other custom rom) the device asks whether it should leave an old recovery or not. Flashing official miui zip doesn't touch the recovery at all.
So it's not necessary to delete any files (regarding my experience).

I'm going to be receiving a new RN3 SD in a couple of days. Since I ordered from Banggood I'm expecting to receive it with a spammed ROM and am planning to flash it immediately via EDL with the latest MIUI 8 stable ROM. Since it might take a while to get unlock permission and to make the unlocker work, I'd like to know if the following method will work to root the phone and install Xposed with a locked boot loader:
1. Boot phone into fastboot.
2. Temporarily boot TWRP recovery via fastboot command..
3. Flash Supersu.zip and Xposed with TWRP.
4. Reboot phone normally.
Since Android Lollipop doesn't use a hash of /system to check for tampering, I was hoping tis would work.
Thanks.

You can't flash anything via fastboot on a locked bootloader. Just wait for your permission or you can try Kingsroot for rooting.

Kingroot doesn't work with redmi note 3
( not just kingroot , any root software won't work with Rn3. , only way to root is to flash supersu.zip through recovery after unlocking bootloader )

You can also create account now while you wait for your phone and apply for unlocking feature now
I've done that and when the phone arrived I already had all ready
Hello everyone,
I have a redmi note 4X with MTK soc
The bootloader is unlocked.
I want to flash TWRP recovery. I use adb, the "nickel " TWRP, and message in the cmd window was "ok"
but when i reboot, whatever the way (buttons or adb reboot), it still reboot on the stock recovery.
I've tryed many times, even with a "moly" TWRP (with my MI 4S, the "aqua" didn't work and I had to flash the "libra" one and it was all effective)
Tryed to re install adb, etc. Wathever, it's always "ok" in adb but still reboot on the stock recovery.
Can't try with flashtool or that kind of (Mitool Flash atc) because I can't find the right "scatter" files....
Does anyone have a clue? what is blocking?
Thanks for help
You must reboot back to recovery, not to system, after installing TWRP.
1. Install TWRP
2. Reboot to Recovery (not to system) - this means you will see TWRP screen again
3. Now you can reboot to System
This is only done for the first time installing TWRP. Next time, TWRP will always be there.
Hello,
Well please I need new help !!
Now I'm fighting a new issu !! Now that I at last managed to flash TWRP, and enter in this custom recovery, my phone don't boot system anymore !! stay stuck on the MI logo (
Do I need to flash the boot.img ? But why the hell would a recovery flashing would have change the boot partition??
And if so, where please could I find the boot.img for MIUI 10.1 stable?
Hello,
For those who have the same issu.
I've flashed a boot.img file found in unzipped miui rom zip.
- download from xiaomi.eu the right rom
- unzip
- find the boot.img file
- flash it with adb / fastboot
Well, So now I have my phone and datas back, and can boot on a custom recovery; but TWRP don't work well. Doesn"t keep the settings, can't install anything (it doesn't find any file when exploring ) and can't wipe cache (as if it can't read partition). That's all I tryed by now, I despair a little and that's a lot of time for an easy thing (was very easy on other phones)
Well, this time I'm flooded, i' ll take somme time but don't give up trying to root that phone
Start again, and I recommend ZCX-TWRP-3.0.2-X-REDMI_NOTE4-MTK_Nikel-16.11.18.img and Magisk instead of SuperSU

I've tryed someany time to install twrp with magsik pls help
How do I install twerp recovery with magsik with out root or pc or 2 phones
twrp does not exist for this phone officially yet.
you also need an unlocked bootloader and root in order to flash anything
Oh ok but how do I root my phone I've tryed for so long
0. Unlock bootloader
1. Flash Twrp via pc (twrp is optional for rooting)
2. Get boot.img from base rom
3. Instal magisk on device
4. Modify the boot.img via magisk (this will create another patched image titled "magisk_patched-#####_#####.img"
5. Flash newly created magisk modified boot image ie. Titled "magisk_patched-#####_#####.img" via pc (this will temp. Root device)
6. On reboot open magisk, run the same newly flashed image ie. Titled "magisk_patched-#####_#####.img"through magisk via "direct install (recommended)" method. (this will fully root device and give root access to twrp)
7. Profit
Btw not responsible if you brick your device
