Keep softbricking after attepting to Root? - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers

Every time I attempt to flash SuperSU via TWRP, my note 3 fails to boot. It just stays at the mi logo. Got the latest version of both TWRP and SuperSU and my bootloader is unlocked if that's relevant. What am I doing wrong?! This is killing me!!!

may be because you got to patch the boot.img.. there's a version of twrp with this function built in i believe
if you use the twrp recommended for unofficial botloader unlock, goto install zip and browse to root, you should find a patch boot.img zip

Here follow these steps and you will boot successfully.

[Q] How to change CM12 stock recovery

So I just unlocked my bootloader and flashed CM12 with TWRP. TWRP refused to flash Gapps and just kept restarting, after I flashed CM12. I booted into CM12 and then into recovery and it was replaced with the CyanogenRecovery, which can't flash anything. When I tried with fastboot to flash TWRP, it said successful, but kept the Cyanogen one. How do I change it?
EDIT - Flashed it again with ADB and it worked. Now Gapps restarts TWRP.
Hey buddy
just install [ROOT] Rashr - Flash Tool by DsLNeXuS (Aschot Mkrtchyan) from the Play Store.
The App lets you decide wich recovery you want to flash

Help needed.

Helo friends, I am new to redmi note 3 (sd). I officially unlocked the boot loader. I updated my device to 7.3.2 using miflash. I tried to install TWRP. I flashed the TWRP img and modified img. I tried to enter TWRP by pressing vol+ & power button. BUT no recovery was found . Simply Phone with cable image is showing in display. I followed all the steps carefully. I tried Cofface version and also the latest one.
Somebody please guide me step by step procedure to install TWRP. Somebody have the proper modified image for 7.3.2??? If yes means please give me the link.
In 7.1.8 i was able to get the TWRP. Is there any way to update to miui 7.3.2 by TWRP from 7.1.8
MIUI overwrites your recovery, disable it with the ALKA recovery, which can be found in Santosh's thread.
Here is what I did, to make TWRP workable, and it's very easy, no pc needed.
1. Install flashify
2. Install twrp with flashify but do not reboot yet
3. copy alka twrp to your phone
4. when it's done reboot your phone in flashify (right corner, reboot to recovery)
5. make system r/w (you will lose ota but screw it..., no other way to make twrp permanent on the phone)
6. flash alka update
7. reboot in twrp -> system
8. TWRP will give you a pop-up which tells you that you would like to disable the stock recovery, and just simply allow it to do it.
9. boom, done
Thanks bro!!!!!!!
Now i got both root and recovery on 7.3.2

Tried to used this the latest from miui forum, redmi note 3 pro Snapdragon version: http://en.miui.com/thread-296053-1-1.html
Sent from my Redmi Note 3 using XDA-Developers mobile app

Couldn't get root access error on miui 8 china developer beta 6.63

getting the following error 'Couldn't get root access-root rom isn't ready,please wait a moment', when trying to use the allow root access tab in security>permissions>allow root access . Is this normal for everyone? Is there another alternate way to enable root?
Yes, you need twrp recovery and BETA-SuperSU-v2.71-20160331103524.zip
If you don't want to flash the custom recovery permanently you can use:
fastboot boot recovery.img
And the twrp recovery will appear. After installing of the zip file and reboot, the stock recovery will take its place.

This version is 2.74. I can't find 2.71, but it may do the job
tried it, after flashing the zip ,the phone got struck in the mi icon during boot. had to flash my backup.

With 2.71 there is no problem with this.
Obviously not every version works with every phone.
For example mi 4 is rootable only with 2.65
hmm everytime i try to enter twrp, even if i dont do anything and reboot it will boot struck at mi logo......maybe the dev rom beta just dont work well with twrp.....
Check to see if the bootloader is locked again.

Flashing issues after using Chainfire's flashfire app

Hi friends,
So here's a thing:
I was trying to update my Nexus 9 to the latest Slimrom build , and I used Chainfire's flashfire app. It didn't work and sent the tablet in a boot loop. But it also wiped my recovery so I couldn't even select my recovery.
So no issues, I used the Wugfresh nexus toolkit to flash it back to stock and unroot. Bootloader is still unlocked, so I just root it again and go ahead and try to install the update using Wugfresh. It works, but says the vendor.img is wrong. So I downloaded the correct vendor.img and tried to flash it, but of course because the tablet is encrypted TWRP asked for a password. I hit cancel and tried to continue, but Wugfresh just hung at that step.
So I tried to manually flash the ROM, but now it gives me a vendor.img error and will not flash anything. Trying to flash anything sends the device in a bootloop.
TLDR; I can restore to stock and root, and also access the bootloader and recovery (TWRP) but can't flash anything without sending the device in a bootloop.
I've currently restored the tablet to stock via wugfresh's tool and rooted. So I'm back at the beginning, except with this vendor.img issue when I'm trying to flash a ROM.
Anyone have any ideas?

Some root questions

I want to root my poco f1 ....
But i have some questions regarding it
1. Will my data be format while rooting and installing twrp
2. How i will get ota update
3. Will installing ota update also format my data?
1. Your whole internal data needs to be wiped... To flash the force decryption enabler at first...
Even while installing twrp via fastboot.. Your data will be formated
2. You will get updates... But not via ota.... Yes you will get to download the updateds in some roms... But you need to dirty flash them.
3. While dirty flashing.... Formatting data is not required.

Does the twrp with working decryption also need to format my data?
You can root your device in two ways.
First, with twrp (OTA won't work afterwards)
Second, without twrp (OTA will work)
First method, unlock the bootloader (device will be wiped)>Grab the twrp with working decryption>Boot your device into fastboot and type fastboot flash recovery twrp.img (or whatever the recovery image name is)>Now type fastboot boot twrp.img (or whatever the recovery image name is)>Once booted into twrp, swipe to allow modification>Now download Magisk installer and copy into the device>Flash it?Reboot to system>Profit.
N.B. After flashing twrp, make sure to first boot into twrp before booting into system or else device will restore stock recovery. If you need to update in future, just grab the twrp flashable update package and flash it. That's it. No need for OTA.
Second method, this will also require an unlocked bootloader. Once the bootloader is unlocked, get the stock boot image of your current software (e.g. if you are on miui 10 with October security patch, make sure to grab the stock boot image for miui 10 october). Now install Magisk manager apk in your device. Now open magisk manager and go to install. You will find an option for patching stock boot image. Click on it and select the stock boot image. Magisk will patch the boot image and will place it in your internal memory. Now boot into fastboot mode and type fastboot boot patched_boot.img (or whatever the name is). Once device is booted into system, go to Magisk and click on Install>Direct install (recommended).Magisk will get flashed by itself and reboot. Once rebooted, go to Magisk manager and check. If you do everything correctly, you are rooted.
N.B. When you get an OTA update, open Magisk and go to Unsinatll and click on "Complete uninstall". It will uninstall magisk and revert your stock boot image back. Note that, if you play witgh system partition like modifying build.prop or change host file or bootanimantion or any such thing, you won't be able to get any further OTA update. In that case, you need to flash the complete fastboot rom through MiFlash tool.
For more information, please go to Magisk thread or search online.
