Hey,
whatever custom rom I try, I end up with bootloop - phone is restarting after It finishes optimizing apps. I've tried Collapseromer - CM13-6.6.28, ResurrectionRemix - v5.6.8 and some cm-13.0-RC2.0 from here. I'm flashing stuff from MIUI 8 Developer ROM.
Phone is Redmi 3 - ido (not pro version).
I've unlocked phones bootloader with app from Mi, found here. Checked if phone is unlocked with:
Code:
fastboot oem device-info
After that I followed instructions for installing TWRP here.
Code:
adb root
adb disable-verity
adb reboot bootloader
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-0-ido.img
fastboot boot twrp-3.0.2-0-ido.img
In TWRP slected Advanced wipe -> wiped all partitions.
Next I've used adb sideload to flash the device. In case of RR rom used:
Code:
adb sideload ResurrectionRemix-M-v5.6.8-ido.zip
Restarted and after app optimization rom restarts.
Any suggestions are welcome and will be appreciated.
Here's how I have done 3 different Redmi 3 non-pro versions of the phone.
Unlocked the bootloader using a developer rom.
Copied the rom from here, to the internal storage.
Downloaded ARM64/5.1/Pico or Mini from here & copied to the same folder on the internal storage.
Downloaded TWRP 3.0.2.0 from here.
Power down the phone. Hold volume Down + Power and you will be in fastboot.
rename your twrp file to recovery.img & then use the following commands.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot boot recovery.img.
In TWRP swipe to modify the system partition. Select wipe & swipe to complete. Don't reboot.
Go back to the main menu and install ZIP files. Add the Rom in the 1st link & then add more zips, then add the gapps.
Once complete wipe dalvik/cache & again don't reboot but go back and wipe again.
Reboot and away you go. Not had an issue on any of the phones using that method.
Would also high recommend the ROM i've posted, been using it as a daily driver and it's been virtually flawless.
Additional wipes and your rom worked like a charm. Thanks.

First of all consider looking at the date of post.. it's from 2016 - obviously nobody's gonna provide you with any support in this one.
Second of all get yourself a newer rom - something reliable such as LineageOS for IDO and just adb sideload it from recovery or push it to internal storage and install with GUI.

Hey guys,
i've got the following problem: Unlocking the bootloader, installing TWRP and other ROMs went hassle free and worked flawless until recently.
Now, after having to reflash a clean OOS 2.2.0, it says the bootloader is locked again. TWRP is still installed. When trying to unlock the phone, it just boots to TWRP (which shortly prints an error message, but its too short to read) and shows that the bootloader is still locked in fastboot.
The problem is similar to this one:
https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/opo-back-from-the-dead-story-of-a-brick.144155/
In that thread, a solution is pointed out -- namely, this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54251992
The script is for OPO only, so I'm left in the rain. Do you guys know any other way out of my misery?

Install stock recovery and unlock bootloader again...
I'll give it a try. Would you point me in the direction of where to find the recovery.img for that?
EDIT: Phew, did it. Your way worked. I can't even count anymore how often I wiped and reflashed the whole thing in the last 24 hours...
I have exactly the same problem. I have the stock recovery file. Can i just flash it with TWRP ? and stock recovery will be loaded? because i can't use fastboot to load i because its locked
reboot into twrp
copy Stock_recovery.img to device folder
go to install
at the bottom select install image

@Sanras, I followed your instructions and they went great on a republic wireless xt1625, thank you! But your post just says to boot into twrp, which means if I ever want to use twrp I have to connect my computer. Is there a special way to flash twrp instead of just booting to it? Because I tried flashing twrp but the phone wouldn't boot afterward. So I had to flash the stock rom and redo everything. Let me know and thanks!

You should be able to flash TWRP. That's actually the most used method. I simply recommended booting and not flashing because it is easier to revert to stock for an update. However, you should be able to flash TWRP if you want with "fastboot flash recovery D:/TWRPimages/twrp.athene.img"
(Replace last part with image path on your computer)
Thanks Sanras,
Great guide, worked for me with no problems.
Anyone know how to approach security updates after rooting via this method?
Currently on Dec17 looking to update to Apr18 security patch just don't want to brick device.
Thanks in advance. :good:
Thanks. Sanras.
I got my phone bricked after restore my stock rom and try to install magisk to it. This solved my case also.
I just have to pay attention that just installing the kernel after try the magisk is not enough. Like you said:
* Install ElementalX kernel; wipe caches
* then install Magisk (again), and wipe caches again

Sure. Instead of making a backup to the card, backup to internal storage. Then, before doing anything else, on your pc copy the files from the newly created TWRP folder on your internal storage. These are your backups. You can then proceed with the rest of the steps. Honestly, the backup isn't even necessary, it's just good to have in case something goes wrong.
Hi
I know it's a bit old now, but I'm unable to root my Nougat XT1641
I already have the whole stuff :
- BL unlocked ;
- TWRP installed ;
- all backups done.
But everytime I try to flash ElementalX/Magisk, it fails and ends in a bootloop.
Can someone have an advice to help me ?
Well, I used this : https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html#patching-images
Patching my boot.img did the trick !
How can I lock the phone back after unlocking bootloader, rooting, installing Xposed?
Wipe installed custom ROM (System+data+cache+dalvik).
**Internal storage optional (You may have to flash TWRP again though).
Install MIUI recovery ROM pack through TWRP. Run MIUI initial setup. Reboot to fastboot and flash stock recovery, you can find stock recovery in MIUI forums. After that check for successful flash and successful system boot. Only then run the fastboot command to lock the bootloader :
fastboot oem lock
**Do not lock with TWRP. You'll hard brick your phone
***After flashing MIUI in TWRP flash lazyflasher or your device will be stuck
If you don't understand the complications in this method please ignore it, am sure there are some easier ways using MiFlash. Check MIUI forum for relocking and recovering to MIUI. If you wanna come back to the world of custom ROMs and Mods XDA is the place.

Thank You
BTW If you have the time could you write this more in steps like for a noob. If not it still kicks a$$ and thanks for reply
First you need to get rid of your current ROM and it's data. For that boot into TWRP and select wipe, in the list of partitions displayed select :
•System
•Data
•Cache
•Dalvikand confirm wipe. This step removes the ROM and data associated with it. Now the only thing you can access is TWRP and fastboot.
Also during wipe you can also select to wipe Internal Storage partition but after you do this you may lose TWRP also at the next boot. Now your phone can only boot into fastboot mode. So if you did wipe your internal storage also flash TWRP again from fastboot. If you ask how..:
•Download TWRP recovery from here
•Copy the downloaded file to any folder on your PC.
•Install ADB and fastboot drivers on your PC if you haven't.
•Reboot phone into fastboot mode(Power + Volume down) and connect to PC.
•Go to folder where your placed the TWRP image file.
•Open command prompt in that folder (Shift+right click mouse, open command window here)
•Type the following commands without the quotes :
" fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.1-0-mido.IMG "
•Now try rebooting into TWRP (Power + Volume Up). If you followed the steps right you should be able to.Remember this step is only if you decide to wipe internal storage also else it is completely not necessary.
OK now that you are left with a phone that only has TWRP we need a ROM to boot into, in your case you want a MIUI ROM. Download latest stable MIUI recovery ROM pack from MIUI website or just google if your having trouble finding it. For MIUI ROMs to successfully boot on a custom recovery you need to flash an additional zip called lazyflasher else your phone will be stuck at the MI logo. I'll attach the zip below. Okay so now since you have the required files copy them to your phone's internal storage.
Boot into TWRP and install the MIUI ROM zip first and the Lazyflasher zip after that. Reboot into system and phone should enter MIUI initial setup in some minutes(be patient MIUI initial boot can be long). Finish the setup.
Now you need to flash the latest stock recovery of your phone. I don't have it with me now so a simple google search will do the work. The procedure for flashing the recovery is the same as flashing TWRP which I have mentioned above. The only change you have do in the fastboot command line is the file name of your stock recovery.
After flashing check for successful boot, only then proceed with the relocking procedure as follows:
•Boot phone into fastboot mode
•Connect to PC
•Open Command prompt
•Type this fastboot command without the quotes :
" fastboot oem lock"•Once done reboot your phone.
Now you must have a relocked phone.
**Never relock your phone with any custom mods like custom recovery, custom ROM or even a MIUI which is rooted. Also be on 100% stock configuration before relocking device. Failing to do so will result in a hard brick.

Hello, I'm kind of new at this (this is my first post) so be gentle
So, the last few days I've been trying to install a new rom on my phone (Redmi Note 4X) and the problems started with the model. I only seem to find Redmi Note 4 roms, and as I've come to find, mine is supposed to be the mido one (correct me if I'm wrong though). I have unlocked the bootloader, I have installed and enabled the fastboot on my phone, so the next step was to install the latest TWRP.
There came more problems; I tried doing this through the app and it just wouln't flash it. So I found a guide on how to root my phone and install a new recovery through adb and I followed it. It didn't work. I couldn't find the right twrp version for my phone. When I finally did realise my phone needed mido, I found the latest from the TWRP website. It wouldn't load through adb again. I found a thread about a fixed mido version, which finally worked for me. But my brother who was helping me, and isn't as much of a noob as I am (he has flashed rom and recoveries many times on his Nexus 5X), decided that I necessarily need the latest twrp if I'm going to flash a new rom, so he flashed the new twrp through the old one, and soft bricked my phone (I think). So I'm searching for a guide to unbrick it. (Which I can't seem to find to work at least).
To conclude;
I have unlocked my bootloader
I have access to the fastboot
I tried to flash a recovery
I failed many times, but I managed it
I flashed the latest twrp and bricked my phone
I don't have access to the recovery
My phone is still on a bootloop
I am not sure about which phone model I have
Help!
Thanks in advance.
1. Just check your phone model on its box. If its Snapdragon version (Mido), then just install it via fastboot. (code: fastboot flash recovery twrp-midoxx.img). If you are success, then try to reboot to recovery (fastboot boot twrpmido-xx.img). After booted, then you just manage to rom.zip you want to install. If you don't have it, then download it before from your PC and push it to your phone. Or just enable Mtp checklis from TWRP n copy that file to your internal phone/sdcard. Wipe all/factory reset except internal storage. Then you dan install rom.zip normally. N reboot. (Note: if you are on MIUI and wanted to always stay on it, just flash the file called lazyflasher.zip. n' wipe cache n art cache only then reboot). Flashing custom recovery on stock MIUI Will manage the device Going to bootloop)
2. If you have mediatek version (nikel), searching the fastboot Rom from miui website and flash it normally via fastboot. (SP Flash tool)
Warning: flash the wrong rom file into wrong phone Will make your device brick. So becarefull n knowing what model/code name you have.

Hello and thanks for the reply. I have the snapdragon version, but all I'm asking is how am I supposed to flash the lazyflasher without accessing the recovery? Through adb?

Firstly, enter fastboot mode on your device. Connecting to pc and flashing the twrp for mido. "fastboot flash recovery twrp-mido.img". Then boot to it using " fastboot boot twrp-mido.img". Then you will enter the recovery (twrp) in a second. Copy the lazyflasher into your phone (enable mtp first in Mount option in twrp) that you downloaded from pc. Just flash the lazyflasher.zip and reboot.
And why you don't want to flash lazyflasher when it very easy to flash it using recovery twrp? adb? You mean android debugging? Actually, you cant flash a .zip file into your system partition except through fastboot mode. However, fastboot mode (in cmd) only recognize a .img file. I just try to tell you the easier method to make your device boot up.

What happens when you place your stock boot image somewhere you can access from TWRP and try?
If you want to try fastboot method:
Download the version of OxygenOS you’re currently on
Extract the contents of the ZIP file from Step 1
Copy/move the boot.img file to the same directory as your ADB/Fastboot tools
Launch a Command Prompt, Terminal or PowerShell in that directory
Boot the OnePlus 3 into Fastboot Mode
Connect the OnePlus 3 to the PC with a USB cable
Type the following into the Command Prompt, Terminal or PowerShell. . .
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
. . .then press Enter on the keyboard
Wait for the boot IMG file to be sent and written
Then press the Power button on the OnePlus 3 to reboot back into Android

Hi! in the following command
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot is the tool
flash is the operation
boot is the destination partition
and boot.img is the source
so to answer your question, TWRP should remain unaffected, as it should reside on your recovery partition

Ok i did a wipe on cache, dalvik and system, flashed the official os zip file with TWRP and i am still stuck in a bootloop. I haven't tried your method yet where you flash the boot.img as it's just 15mb while the zip file is 1.5gb. What am i missing here? Is my TWRP recovery installing the os zip file correctly? I am stuck.
This is what i have done till now:
Unlocked my bootloader
Flashed official TWRP (twrp-3.2.3-1)
Then cleared data, cache, dalvik and flashed Magisk
Rebooted and got stuck in a bootloop
Used magisk uninstaller but didn't work
Downloaded official Oxygen OS 5.0.8 and then went to twrp, wiped dalvik, cache, data, system and then flashed the zip file.
Rebooted and still stuck in a bootloop
I am now scared that this phone won't startup. Please provide a solution.
Ok, i have followed the mega unbrick guide for oneplus 3 and it has finally come out of the bootloop, it's now updating to the latest oxygen os. Sadly i donno what went wrong the 1st time i tried to root with Magisk, maybe the oreo on the op3 doesn't support magisk. If it's possible can you guide me into rooting the phone with magisk, as most of the tutorials are old and for marshmallow rom and recovery. Thanks.
