Hello guys today i unlocked my bootlader officially on Redmi Note 3 Snapdragon, and now i want to install Twrp and flash Xiaomi.eu ROM but i don't have any idea how to do it.
I searched everywhere but i didn't understand any tutorials. I saw something about patching boot.img, what boot.img should i patch the one from the ROM that i want to install? And how to do it?
I will really appreciate if someone helped me....thanks in advance!
I am on official GlobalBeta 6.4.28

It's simple. You download the rom you want to have, copy it to your phone's memory, install twrp, reboot to twrp, flash the rom, (optionally wipe data), flash a file called universal_boot.img_patcher.zip
You can find this file in a thread about safe twrp as far as I can remember.

The easiest method I have found out is using Cofface TWRP. Just download the image file and use fastboot/flashify to flash it. No need for patched boot.img or anything else.
Download TWRP and flash it from fastboot... If you don't even know how to flash TWRP then you shouldn't be rooting and flashing roms and stuff.

Let me keep it simple for you.
1. Install adb and fastboot first on ur pc.
2. Go to twrp folder. Along with shift key do a right click, then click on open command window here.
3.Type adb reboot bootloader in command prompt
4. Now type fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
5. Fastboot reboot
Please ensure usb debugging is on under developer options.

Issues with Rom Flashing... "Install update.zip signature verification failed"
Hello
I am new in the World of Xiaomi and MIUI
I bought a Redmi Note 2 and it had the Oppomart MIUI-Version ist 66.77.33.00 (LHMCNCH)I Stable on it. I am a german user.
I found out that the Rom was not official and it contained useless apps and I couldnt use root either. So I wanted to flash different Roms. After some tries and researches I could flash an inofficial german Rom. But with that I couldnt use Xposed Installer so I wanted an original Rom. I flashed miui_HMNote2_5.10.15_8097474ec2_5.0. But that seems to be completely for chinese users. You can choose english language but there is no google account and no google apps. No play store, nothing. just chinese browsers, chinese apps and the MI Store completely in, guess what, chinese.
And now I cannot flash any Rom. I tried to go back to other Roms, like the german miuidecuro_REDMINOTE2_5.9.24_5.0 that i used before but nothing worked. I keep getting an error telling me "Install update.zip signature verification failed" I wiped all data, made a factory reset but nothing worked. I would even be happy to have the oppomart version back. It was annoying but had at least the playstore
Please help me
If you have any rom > 5.10.15 you can't flash previously roms.
Install TWRP or an old fastboot rom

Thanks. I never used TWRP. Do I have to download and install it on the phone as an apk file or on the Computer? Sorry I am new and when I google these things I only get more confused. What is the difference between the flashtools MiPhone2015731 and TWRP?
Is it possible to use Stock Android on the note 2 instead of MIUI?

Xioami has started to use licence or something for their roms. So multilanguage rom cant acceptable anymore on orginal system. Twrp is recovery mod for Android devices. Its very simple to install and use. And no you cant. Because nobody doesnt make any stable aosp or something rom. We are waiting.
mee to.
put rom file into internal sotrage, then update ok.
Visit TWRP by going to install and then there must be a hack because you have to do away
Ok. Is there a TWRP App for all phones or does it have to be for Redmi Note 2?
I download the apk, put it on the SD Card and install it from there, is that right? Can I flash the hermes rom from there for Europe?
I never did that so I really have no clue how to do that. The phone is nearly useless right now. I gotta fix this somehow. Thanks for everyone who helps

Hi.
Cant you install a rooted stock rom with stock recovery? Then you need the right TWRP for our phone.
Heres one place where you can find it. http://www.mediafire.com/download/6sf0fsm8vx2o948/twrp287.zip
First try flash it with Mi recovery.
If not you need to download an app from playstore "flashify" with it you flash TWRP. You need a img file so you may have to unzip the recovery.zip
I have flashed Xiaomi.EU 5.10.8 Weekly which is rock stable. You should flash Chainfires last Supersu and install Google Now Launcher if you like something more "stock" and have a appdrawer..
Thanks
Knievel

Ok thanks I will try that. A few hours ago I managed to flash the xiaomi.eu european version of the 5.10.15. Can I stll flash Roms with that?
Another problem is that I cannot use Xposed Installer and google now launcher. Is that normal?

ok good.
Then i would go to play store an download Flashify . Unzip the TWRP zip, and flash the recovery.img with flashify.
You can also backup kernel and recovery with this app. Its very easy and straight forward.
When you got flashed TWRP , use a file explorer with root privileges and delete the file "recovery-from-boot.bak" placed in System folder. If not you may loose TWRP after reboot.
TWRP is vital so you can make an nandroid backup of everything if/when something goes wrong. And of course flash everything else.
About Google Now Launcher, flash last Supersu zip from Chainfire in TWRP. Then you get permission to change default launcher.
I dont use Xposed for now so you have to Google it.
Only thing i miss is "Reboot to recovery" option, but a lot of apps can do this.
Thanks
Knievel

Ok thanks, I downloaded it. What exactly is the difference between Boot Image and Recovery Image?
Is there an AOSP Rom you can recommend? I really want to get rid of MIUI.

Hi.
Boot image here is kernel.
Im no big fan of Miui myself , but with the right launcher its quite ok.
I have tried a couple of the aosp roms here on Xda . Find them a little buggy, and battery life isnt very good either compared to Miui.
If/when Xiaomi release all needed sources, i think we will get good and stable Aosp and CM roms to flash too.
Thanks
Knievel

Yes I don't like it either. But there are too many bugs in the Custom Roms. I just want a bug free Rom where I can use xposed
Hi,

Just unzip the twrp zip. You can do it with a Root Explorer. Then you get a img file.
This img file you can flash with an app called Flazhify ( Google play Store, its free ).
Have you tried this?
Thanks

I finally flashed MIUI 6 via FASTBOOT.

Hi,
My phone came with 7.00.66 and it's not rooted. I tried to flash xiaomi eu roms via updater app, but it failed several times.
Also i tried to install twrp via updater app, but it also failed. Can you help me please. :crying:
I was thinking to do this:
1) flash official developer rom via updater app, and hopefully it won't show error, because it is official rom , and it is rooted (?)
2) flash twrp using this method
HOW TO FLASH TWRP RECOVERY VIA FLASHIFY
Warning: Redmi note 2 only (other phone need specific image)
Me and this forum are not responsable for any damage. Do at your own risk
1. download flashify app from playstore and give root acces
2. download img of twrp for redmi 2 note and put in your sd card (I prefer sdext root folder)
3. Open flashify, select "recovery image", find the img file you've downloaded
4. confirm flash, wait until it's done
5. you're now ready to reboot in twrp pressing "reboot now" from flashify.
you can also turn off your phone, press power and volume up and you'll be in twrp.
3) install xiaomi eu rom with twrp
Is this correct way?
So I was on MIUI 7 with unlocked bootloader, custom recovery (twrp) and rooted. I wanted to try MIUI 8 so I downloaded the zip version from MIUI website and moved it to my phone then I go to custom recovery. I flashed the rom and before the flashing completed there was a red line of error code saying
'cannot mount /factory'
I thought that kind of error can be ignored but I guess I was wrong and now my phone stuck in MI logo.
I can still go to fastboot,
I can go to recovery,
I don't know how can i go to EDL to reflash with miflash,
when I tried going into fastboot and using adb, no devices detected.
Is this the end of my redmi note 3 life or is there a way ? Please, any help is greatly appreciated.
n.b :
It's redmi note 3 snapdragon version.

That is very awesome! I just finished reflashing back to global stable with mi flash, thank you very much!
So the problems are on my driver? not on the twrp source file or maybe the modded boot img ? because I thought that I forgot to modify the boot.img before flashing twrp
Hello there,
I got a Kate device, which I unlocked unofficially after oficial unlock failed after 50% in September.
Now I'm running TheStrix' CM14.1 with this firmware:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/cm14-14-1-aosp-n-firmware-kenzo-kate-t3507789
But now I read, that TheStrix recommends flashing the MIUI Dev Rom, and afterwards his new 14.1 Firmware in order to run 14.1 correctly.
From what I read so far, its recommended to do the official unlock now, because it is working. And there is no chance of accidentally relocking it afterwards?
Could someone give me a hint on how to accomplish that? A short step-by-step list would be much appreciated!
I guess I would have to Flash the dev rom first, then unlock, then flash the firmware and then install CM14.1, is that right?
How do I flash the dev rom and which one is the right one?
Will my TWRP stay in place during all this or do I have to install it again? Am I using the right TWRP for all these operations?
Right now I have TWRP 3.0.0-0 cofface installed.
While TheStrix recommends using his TWRP with F2FS support. Would it be safe to flash that now?
Thank you guys so much!
The only way to do it by flashing official MIUI fastboot ROM in EDL mode via MiFlash.

Thank you all for your replies. To sum it up, I made a step-by-step list, could someone please confirm that.
1. Put phone in fastboot mode and flash official MIUI fastboot dev ROM (6.11.24) in EDL mode.
2. Unlock phone using MiUnlock
3. Install TWRP (f2fs) using fastboot
4. Install CM14 Kate firmware provided by TheStrix
5. Install CM14.1 nightly by TheStrik
6. Install Gapps
Is that about right? Can you tell me after which steps I will have to wipe? And which partitions to wipe..?
I just bought an Explorer in Chineese Rom. Can i make it global?
If yes can you point me to a step by step how to guide? Thanks
I wouldn't but you never know
I think you can't.
Because Mi 8 Explorer Edition have a different codename and called "ursa", but I think Mi 8 Pro and 8 UD (named "屏幕指纹版" in China) can flash each other (when unlocked bootloader), they have the same codename called "equuleus".
Yes you can, i just trying on my ursa last week.
The step (Must Unlocked Bootloader):
1. Download FASTBOOT rom Global Stable/Dev for Mi 8 Pro (Equuleus) (.tgz)
2. Rename file to .zip and extract
3. Edit Flash_Bat.all (line 1 and 2 replace equuleus with ursa) with notepad/notepad++
4. Open Mi Flash and boot your into fastboot mode
5. Plug the usb cable on your pc/laptop
6. Choice Flash and Clean All on under and ready to flashing
7. Click flash and wait until finish
8. Done your ursa will automatically reboot into system with new codename: equuleus and Global ROM!
(Note: On this rom you can't install twrp permanently and can't flash magisk for root, this rom only pure miui rom. I don't know on new update global rom v.10 equuleus, I'm not yet trying)
DWYOR! And Enjoy!

May well not provide support for the 3d face unlock - as this feature is not available on the Mi 8 Pro - I have done the flashing the other way around - Mi 8 explorer ROM on Mi 8 Pro - everything running fine for 2 and a half months.
I need to try it...

Unlocking Bootloader1. Make sure you have a sim and active mobile data. Then go to about phone tap build number 7-8 times. After that go to advanced settings > developer options > turn on OEM unlocking and then check if this device is secure and click add account and device.
2. Download Mi unlock tool from here. Extract it and paste it in C:/unlock. or else your device won't be recognized for unlocking.
3. Open Mi unlock tool and then enter the Mi account which was on your device. Put your device in fastboot mode by pressing vol- and power and then connect to PC. Press unlock and if it tells you to wait you have no other option but to wait. If your mi flash tool shows connect your device even after you have connected it. Follow this guide here.
4. After you have unlocked your bootloader reboot your phone.
Flashing TWRP and Rooting via magisk
1. Download this TWRP image here. Thanks to the original developer mauronofrio.
2. Download adb and fastboot tools here and install it.
3. Now put your phone in fastboot mode and connect it with your pc. Now where you have downloaded the TWRP file rename it to TWRP.img and open a CMD window there if you don't know how just google.
4. Type the following commands
1. fastboot devices
2. fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img
3. fastboot reboot recovery.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
5. Your phone will boot into TWRP now. But TWRP will be overwritten by stock miui recovery to stop that you need to flash Magisk. Download this zip move it to internal storage then flash by tapping on install and swipe to flash. Reboot your device. Reboot to recovery again to check if TWRP is present.
Now your device is rooted
OR
Flash latest OrangeFox Recovery if you don't want magisk.

1. Download.
2. Flash.
3 Format Data.
Done
Feel free to ask any questions. And don't point a finger at me for messing your device.

Flashing a custom rom is optional. You don't NEED to flash a rom to get TWRP...
---------- Post added at 06:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:46 PM ----------
I've unlocked the bootloader using the unlock tool and waited for 7 days,
But i rooted the device using a different method where i patched a boot.img and flashed that to the device.
Will this method still work for me as I'm already rooted but just want TWRP so i can flash other ROMs.. The post says you have to flash magisk from the (temporary) TWRP for the TWRP to stay as the recovery..
Will the magisk on my phone and the magisk installed here collide?
I just want TWRP so i can switch to a custom rom, so any input is appreciated!!

You can flash twrp and then check if it persists. If not flash magisk again their is no thing as magisk colliding lol. Just make sure you flash a newer version. And if nothing works flash stock rom and then twrp.
If you have the stock boot IMG flash it and then intsall twrp and magisk.

Flashing a custom rom is optional. You don't NEED to flash a rom to get TWRP...

Skip the flashing a rom part and you will be good to go.

Haha, makes sense! Thank you for your answers
Nevermind.. i got it to work pretty easily..
I have twrp on this device and Pixel Experience ROM and it's working all fine..
But there's this one thing where when booting to recovery, it asks me to input a password for User(0) when i try to input anything it says password failed..
From reading the log, it says it's for decrypting data(8f I'm not mistaken)
Is this important? Do i need to decrypt it?
Currently the ROM works fine with no errors, so I'm not gonna bother, but would still like to know what this "decrypting" thing is..

Yes, If you use a lock screen enter that password it will be decrypted. You will have to format data if you decide to flash any other rom anyway.

There can be many reasons for that. Please tell me the error or what's actually happening. Then only I can be of help.

Hey buddy, thank you for this quick step-by-step guide. I flash ROMs since 2012 and you know what? It helped me the same. Having all stuff needed for go from stock to custom concentrated in one place (plus some useful tip like the Magisk flash at the end) it's always useful and time-saving. Thank you
2 Micro-notes about fastboot btw:
- write 'fastboot (with lowered 'f'): it may confuse some newbie
- it's 'reboot' instead of 'boot'
