[Q] Which twrp i have to choose after unlock? [SD] - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers

Hi,
I read many many Tutorials and Threads and it seems like there are a hundred ways to unlock and flash twrp. But one thing I miss: Which twrp version to flash first? Directly after unlock.
As far as I understand i have to flash a Recovery as img in fastboot mode if there is no twrp installed.
My Questions:
1. Can I flash stock twrp from official twrp site?
2. Should I flash a custom twrp (alka or coffa)? If yes, why?
Thanks!

1. Yes, you can.
2. I suggest to flash alka, because you can do a full phone backup in case something goes wrong. It cannot be done with stock TWRP.

Perfect thx
One more question: as I understand, one advantage of alka is no need to flash cracked boot.img for miui Roms. Is that right? And do I have to choose between read and write mode (for ota's)? As far as I have read, none of this is needed.
Is there anything i have to consider if I flash a new rom with alka?
Thanks!

Yes, alka does have that feature but I haven't tried. For safety you can flash modified boot.img first. You can make one with android kitchen or I can upload it to you, just tell which ROM.
After flashing TWRP mount system as read only as showed in this pic. You should get OTA updates. http://i.imgur.com/Q0rHzmg.jpg
If you decide later to flash CM, Mokee, AOKP or other custom ROM, make a full backup with alka and for safety copy to your PC too.

Hi waiting to unlock the bootloader on my rmn3 pro how would i go about flashing alka on to my phone? Would this allow me to make complete backups so if i flash a custom firmware i can totally revert to a MIUI backup for example?

well, i want to install the unity v9 kernel on my rooted phone running virtuous unity. in case something goes wrong with this kernel, i want to be able to remove it. but since you say you can only change it, how can i revert back (or change) to the kernel i had previously on my rom?
Make a nandroid backup so if you want to revert to your previous setup just restore the backup. You could also download the original kernel that came with your rom so you can flash back.

What are you wanting to adjust? The only way to adjust a kernel is ti do it when its compiled from source code.
You cant remove a Kernel. You can ONLY change it.
Make a nandroid backup of your current kernel and flash a new kernel.If anything goes wrong just revert it.

If i remove my kernel how work my arc s ?
Flashing the rom over itself (without wiping data) will keep your user apps intact and restore the kernel that came with the rom.
In the future it's a good idea to do a backup any time you flash a new rom or kernel. You can always delete old backups to save space.

If you're talking about overclocking, undervolting, governors, etc. read the Unity v9 Kernel thread. I also recommend reading droidphile's excellent cpu tweaking faq/tutorial:

Take the ROM you originally downloaded and use 7zip to extract the contents. Inside here you should find the kernel (boot.img) but not always in .img format so if you don't see it let me know.
Then use fastboot to flash this kernel to your phone, more info on that here

cant i flash that PA kernel in CWM recovery?
Sure if there is a recovery flashable .zip out there, you'll have to search for one or create your own. If you search my other threads i have one on creating flashable .zips but it will be more work than just flashing in fastboot.
Let me know if you need a hand either way

Note 5 N920C Root

First of all, all the thanks go to the developers, this is not my work.
I was just looking for a way to root my mobile without changing the kernel.
By pure luck i found out i can root the device.
I downloaded n920ci 4.3 philz touch 6.59.0 from arter97 post and chainfire BETA-SuperSU-v2.49.zip
arter97 post

chainfire BETA-SuperSU-v2.49

Flash the recovery via Odin then flash the SuperSu from the recovery.
Hi. I have n920c. Is there any problem with your device? Your root is still there? Any reboot on call issue? Can you give more info? Thank you

Thanks for the info a.bakir, I rooted my Galaxy S6 in a similar fashion but I had problems with battery life and the phone not allowing sleep mode until a fix came out. Are you experiencing any battery issues after this root?

You're welcome.
I'm not experiencing any problems.
this method is causes bootloop for me. What i did:
1) activated oem lock from developer settings
2) flash cwm as linked, with odin
3) flash su 2.49 zip file.
phone stuck at bootloop, recovered to stock rom with kies. Device fixed.
is there something wrong brother?

You need custom kernel to root. I was surprised too by reading this bcoz stock kernel doesn't boot when I tried with prerooted rom.
May be op already have custom kernel when he flashed supersu.
I like to here from op too regarding this.

That's why you got root access. If you were on stock kernel you will have got bootloop. (still your reply is confusing, I din't get you HAD kernel at time of flashing or not) So better you mention this step in OP that you also requires custom kernel.
(You said in OP that you wanted to root without changing kernel,)

Thank You So Much...
Dual recovery is not compatible with marshmallow so ndrutils will not work
You need you flash recroot v? To restore a recovery also it seems some busyboxs will clash with the recovery so don't install a third party busybox the one that comes with recroot should be fine
You should get twrp 3.^

Getting stock recovery back?

I had rooted my honor 5x to lineage os but wanted to go back to stock. I found a backup up here and used it because I forgot to make a backup of my stock os first. I can't update to emui 4.0 I'm on 3.1 I don't have stock recovery only TWRP. Is there a way to get stock recovery back or update with twrp? I don't have my laptop as I sold it to a friend is there a way to do it without a PC or is that a requirement? Sorry for the noob question this is the first time I've ever rooted a phone. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Mostly it is suggested to have PC in standby.
First off all make a nandroid backup of your current ROM .
But it is advised to have twrp while on custom ROM
Edit do you want stock recovery or do you want to update your system to next emui version?

You don't need a PC. You just have to find the stock recovery.img for your model and flash it in TWRP.
