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..

Edit : The recovery worked. Thanx.
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

Hello guys
I was on stock android and stock recovery oos 3.1.3. I tried to change recovery using fastboot so i tried so many recovries, but unable to flash anyone then i found twrp recovery by teamspark so i flashed it and successfully done, but problem with it is, i am not able toh flash paranoid rom and stock rom using this recovery and even the stock recovery is also not flashable now, just stuck on logo whenever i flash stock recovery. So which recovery i can use which can correctly flashable and i can flash paranoid rom by that successfully.
Thanks in advance.
Flash old stock recovery followed by any OOS 2.X.X firmware . Now you can proceed with PA. Note dont use any of the twrp's designed for mm bootloader.

First of all, you have to downgrade your bootloader. Then you can flash any recovery for the old bootloader.
Thanks i m done now

Hi guys does any one have working method on how to flash twrp recovery on rdmi note 3 sd well im currently on miui 8 6.11.3 beta developer rom.. Some body help me
This is assuming you have an unlocked bootloader already.
http://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-install-twrp/
Yes i already unlocked the bootloader nd even flashed twrp once but it asked me for a password to decrypt nd i couldnt flash gapps so i flashed back to dev rom using mi flash tool
I haven't had that issue but try using zcx twrp

You dont need to flash back miui.. just format your internal storage using adb command "fastboot format userdata" thats it. Then flash twrp again using adb. Now boot into twrp &clean flash any custom rom you want. Everything will be ok..
Although you get back to miui. So this video will help you a lot to install twrp. Just follow his fastboot method & use alka recovery instead of official recovery

Hi ,
I have to revert back to latest MIUI ROM from CM13 ROM [ locked Bootloader]. I have read other threads too but theres never a clear answer.
First of all I dont have any backup of any MIUI roms. I want to do a clean install of latest MIUI build.
What do I have? : Alka TWRP, CM 13 with locked bootloader I think.
Can someone please tell me what do things I need to revert back with steps?
Do I need to unlock the bootloader first then flash the lastest build of MIUI with MiFlash tool? or the bootloader needs to unlocked later after the flash?
Or can I install MIUI recovery rom? with ALKA TWRP?
Flesh miui rom via edl method using mi flash tool.
download fastboot rom and flash via mi flash.
it will lock ur bootloader so unlock it via mi unlock again if u officially unlocked.
off course this method requires a PC.

In the developer mode settings, enable advance options to restart. This will give you the option (on long pressing the power button) to reboot into recovery. If by this method you can get into recovery it would be alot easy to flash the MIUI ROM (which you can get for your device from the official miui rom download site).
If you can't get into recovery, you will need a PC/laptop.

Most probably yes.
But you could try( before unlocking) booting into recovery as i have mentioned above.
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.

Make sure u come from latest miui 10 stable
If u unlocked boot loader unofficially and zcx
then first replace ur zcx twrp with latest twrp. Then u can flash custom roms and gapps.
U dont need any firmware Before flashing custom roms.
Just format data
Wipe data reset
Flash rom and gapps.
Reboot.
If u try to flash those 50mb size miui firmware zip using twrp then u will brick ur phone coz u r unofficially unlocked. So get rid of that firmware fever from ur head. U dont need any.
In case if u feel like going again back to miui global rom then put ur phone in EDL mode and flash kate fastboot global rom using computer and miflashtool.

Better use official TWRP, Orangefox or Redwolf recovery
No need to flash firmware as you're already on MIUI 10.2
Just wipe system, data, also format data & proceed to flash the rom
Thanks for the help guys

Can you help me? This is for Kenzo
I had softbricked? my phone. Went through the process of installing the MIUI 10 fastboot rom but it required activation which I can't do as I forgot my login details (i bought this phone years ago)
Yesterday I managed to unlock unofficially using this method
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66379587&postcount=3
Didn't install 7.1.8, just 7.2.5, followed the instructions, was able to enable oem-unlock and usb debugging, confirmed bootloader was unlocked
Flashed the latest twrp, tried zwcx, lastly tried the latest orangefox
Tried flashing AOSPextended nougat and viper os nougat with various recoveries but they were stuck at the logo for the corresponding roms
I am not sure...do I have to do anything with that boot.img patcher? And if so, when would I flash it?
Went through the same steps again. Same result. All roms get stuck on the custom boot animation
edit:nevermind, flashed that unlocked bootloader rn3_unlockonly in miflash and it booted up

There is an updated guide to unlock unofficially on MIUI 9 with new bootloader.
The problem was you unlocked on older version of MIUI.
To recover password try to visit mi cloud & check if you can do something or forget & use custom roms as there's nothing good about MIUI.

Ah, yes I didn't know that the process was different now. I was just trying to do the Mi Unlock thing in order to flash these custom roms, not gonna use MIUI.
