Phone says update, will not install - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers

Snapdragon model, unlocked officially, twrp and rooted, phone downloads update, and just shows mi logo on reboot, tried changing to rom to update.zip, still no go, what do I need to do different? Cheers

What ROM is your device on at present?
What is reported here: -
Settings - About Phone - MIUI Version
You have unlocked officially, so i assume your on a developer rom.
Get the latest developer rom from here and use the updater to flash that.
Make a backup on external sdcard first.

Not on dev Rom, currently on miui global stable v7.5.3.0, phone says update available to v7.5.4.0, which downloads to phone fine, guess it will not install as it does not like twrp or root....???

Flash the zip it downloads using TWRP. It downloads to a folder in the internal storage i think.

Because you downloaded the recoveryAlkaUpdate.zip, when you used root explorer it only contain the recoveryAlkaUpdate.img, extracted it and copied to internal phone storage or external sd card, then used twrp to flash recoveryAlkaUpdate.img or used flashify to flash it.

Next time when you flashed a full rom by alka twrp, flashed superSU.zip , then rebooted phone will be normalised. I always used alka to flash rom without any problem.

After you flashed using twrp did it show a white bar going my across the screen?

No it just froze on the mi logo, only showed moving white bar after deleting twrp and root, have now taken the advice and installed alka twrp, will see what happens on next update.

easiest way to root?

Hi
I've ordered the redmi note 2 and would like to install a custom rom on it when I receive it. Can somebody tell me what the easiest method to root the phone and install TWRP is? There seems to be so many different ways and I'm finding it abit confusing. Also do I need to unlock the bootloader before rooting?
Thanks

Flashed a china dev rom was an easier way without using PC. But first to need to wipe your phone. Then installed flashify to flash twrp.img. With twrp, you can flashed any compatible rom you like.
for the redmi note from the wife who only needed root I used Kingroot
And I wanted root and TWRP so I used Windroid toolkit
thanks for the replies. Windroid seems pretty straightforward, I'll give that a go once I get my phone.
You can flash xiaomi.eu latest ROM and you'll get TWRP 3.0. For root you can flash any SuperSU official zip using TWRP

you mean this one? http://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/6-2-25.30340/
that says TWRP needs to be installed before that rom can be flashed?

Yes that one..
"Our ROMs now contains TWRP which will install it automatically and overwrite your MiRecovery (If you still use it)"
"Version 6.2.25 still can be installed via MiRecovery but it will overwrite it to TWRP"
I use xiaomi.eu ROM/Based ROM's because it has my language
ah ok, thanks mate
So I tried updating via updateer with the rom from xiaomi.eu but that failed it said something about the file signature. So I tried the windroid method, the computer picked up the device no problem and it was weorking well. I flashed TWRP and Super SU and completely wiped everything on the phone. Now I'm trying to sideload a rom using windroid, but when I go to the ADB sideload option in TWRP it just stays stuck on "starting ADB sideload feture..." Windroid seems to recognise that the device is in sideload mode but I can't flash anything as it just stays stuck.
Any ideas?
Never mind, my PC picked up the phone while it was in recovery and I was able to just copy the rom file over

[HELP] Redmi Note 3 (kenzo) not booting up, only recovery. !

so i was on epic miui 7.1.20 and i was triying to flash latest epic miui 7.2.16 (( https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/epic-rom-miui-8-7-1-12-beta-redmi-note-t3536480 )) using jamflux twrp which is the one they use on that thread. and was getting error 7 every time i tried flashing epic rom. so i flashed AOSIP that i had on my sd card and that installed just fine and booted no problem.
i tried to flash epic rom again but using this recovery (( https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/development/recovery-twrp-3-0-2-0-t3446909 )) and still getting error 7. so i downloaded latest nitrogenOS and twrp says it installed succesfull but when i hit reboot system it reboots stragiht into recovery. doesnt even show the MI logo on startup. so now the phone is just sitting in recovery no matter how many times i wipe and re install roms. when i reboot into system, it wont boot, even when i select power off it goes straight to recovery.
there has to be a solution and i dont thing my phone is bricked since i can access twrp.
any help ? thanks.

Try flashing zcx TWRP using fastboot
flash zxc twrp usinbg the option of flashing image files within your current twrp and
flash zxc twrp using existing twrp and reboot to new twrp and then wipe data,cacahe,system and dalvik cache and see to it that system is mounted to have effects.
flash new epic rom and should resolve your problem.

Dharmesh
Zcx is best for rn3

Why do you need to go back to Lollipop? Even in Oreo nowadays many banking/financial apps etc. don't work anymore.

Redmi only boots into the TWRP root.

my RedMi Note 4 (mido), Global stable worked fine after root, su etc..
I made the mistake to update official rom yesterday.
Now the Redmi only boots into the TWRP root.

Install redwolf recovery using fastboot and then from redwolf recovery install the miui zip file and lazy flasher. Make sure you format data and perform a clean wipe.

Unlocked bootloader. Do I need to flash boot.img before flashing TWRP?

System Configuration:
ROM: MIUI Global 8.1.25 | Beta
Kernel: 3.10.84-perf-g1cb6922
RAM: 2.00 GB
Device: Redmi note 3 (kenzo) with officially unlocked bootloader.
There are a number of tutorials and posts on XDA and YouTube with varying content. Some of them do not flash the boot.img, some of them do.
I will be using Ubuntu to flash using adb and fastboot. Any suggestions regarding that would be great.
Here are the steps I think I should follow ( from the posts I read):
1. Boot into fastboot.
2. Flash twrp-**.img
3. Boot into TWRP recovery.
4. Flash SuperSU
5. Flash Lazyflasher
Would that sequence cause any problem?
No problem, just flash twrp without prior boot.img flashing.

yes the steps you're mentioned above is correct, you don't have to flash boot.img. just do the steps above.

Thank you, bud! I have successfully install TWRP and also installed RR Rom on my Redmi Note 3. However, I have now lost root access.
I tried flashing the SuperSU.zip again, but to no avail. Where did I go wrong? How can I get root access back?

I'm glad it worked, would you be so kind to post the links for those files you mentioned?
Also I'm on the latest stable Miui 9(snapdragon), will it work for me?

I recommend you to use magisk as a root access. To be safe you need to make clean flash your rom again , who's know maybe superSu already exists in your system but not appear on apps drawer by doing this your device will be cleaned from anything that can cause you into bootloop. First download magisk and magisk manager and place it in phone memory or SD card it's up to you and then reboot to TWRP ,wipe everything cache , dalvik cache , system and data then flash rom , gapps and magisk.. reboot. Search for magisk at XDA and download it.

TWRP: Go to official website and download latest version
SuperSU: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=385035244224394155
lazy-flasher: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767111293
I am not sure if it would work, but I was also on MIUI 9 and it worked for me. Hopefully, someone else here will be able to let you know. AFAIK, it should work.

Guys
Download Miui update in zip file and flash via recovery.
It doesn't revert to stock recovery and keeps your twrp along with root intact.

i don't have custom recovery, my device back to stock recovery
i tried downgrade with mi flash and step by step from websites but error, tried flash from recovery but it changed, there are 3 options
- restart
- wipe data
- contact mi assistant
no option install update.zip, also from device and check software update, no option to choose install update
everything changed, stupid update, i don't feel any good change
i think developer will take long time to root new update and use custom recovery
no downgrade work, no one try

Why don't you try installing recovery using fastboot method and then flash magisk 20.1 zip through recovery.
Please check if bootloader is still unlocked before trying this.

i tried using fastboot (mi flash tool) but error, tried another step in same app but show error
the new update changed everything, no one can downgrade from 11 to 10, i don't know why ??
from 10 to 8 you can downgrade without any problem, 11 you can't do anything
solved
finally i made it and back again to miui 10
best program for use xiaomitool
flash anything with 2-3 steps
