http://forum.xda-developers.com/red...-to-flash-twrp-recovery-unlock-t3473294/page1
Will I be able to normally flash CM/MIUI roms without unlocking bootloader. My bootloader was never unlocked btw.
I dont care about OTA update, I never dirty flash. Always clean
@malimukk

Do you have an unlocked bootloader? You need to check in fastboot mode, by typing in fastboot oem device-info
you may have to boot straight to recovery, or the recovery image may get overwritten
my bootloader is locked.i think above method is for locked bootloader.right.i pressed power+volume up right after flashing(after disconnecting cable),phone showed mi logo and then after 5-6 seconds its showing to connect cable again. also when i use miflash tool to unlock bootloader.its not showing advanced menu in miflash tool.any solutionfor that too.my desktop is windows 7 32 bit os.do i need a 64 bit os to get all options in miflash tool.pls any solution.
Can anyone confirm the successful installation on Kenzo along with the step by step guide. And please let me know which fastboot rom should be used for fastboot flashing. Because we have 3 type of ROMs on Kenzo I.e. Global Stable, Global Developer or Chinese Developer rom. Please provide the step wise installation guide so that I can carry on

I can't write you a detailed step-by-step guide because my English is not so perfect, but: you need to install the Global/Chinese Developer rom. Must be Developer rom, but you can choose which of them (Chinese or Global).
I made it with Global Developer, so I can confirm that this method perfectly works.
Luck!

Hi guys,
Just recently purchased redmi note 3 pro 32gb from gearbest.
Phone should be international version with 7.2.13.00(LHOCNCL) preinstalled.
I found that I cannot flash any standard / developer ROM when official website by using built-in flash tool.
Any way to go from here? to at least receive OTA updates and in future I will like to try out Ressurection rom.
thanks.
Your ROM is unexsisting one, cooked by the seller.
You must flash a new one clean via EDL mode and MiFlash
This CN in the name means Chinese, and the numbers says that the rom is only modified to support more languages.

Does this mean i need to wait for unlock bootloader first?
my MI account has previous device linked which I just removed now and set to my new phone.
might take weeks to get approval?
or is there a guy to by pass the locked bootloader?
thanks.

No you wont loose your IMEI. Basically you are just flashing official MIUI Rom, your IMEI details are stored in another partition (non volatile) and FlashAll will not touch them.
You are safe to follow this guide, and by the way you would not be able to unlock the bootloader (the official way) from this vendor Rom. So if you plan to do so later, here you go with this first step.

And you can unlock it as many times you need (it gets locked if you flash MIUI again or if you switch MIUI android version..

Then I selected Drivers in that file to get ADB interface bootloader working, then I used MiUnlock and it went success

Hi guys,
Before you say again a topic on a non bricked One Plus X, I would like to let you know that I've checked and try almost all of the tutorial I've seen on xda and one plus forum.
I was on CM14.1 with this ROM : https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-x/orig-development/rom-cyanogenmod-14-onyx-t3452150
Unfortunately, I made the 25-12-2016 update and it totally broke up the phone..
I download the OnePlus X OxygenOS 3.1.4 on the One Plus website. So I flash it on the stock recovery, it tells me "Install success" then I reboot and it stays on the bootlogo.
For information, I can't access the oem unlock menu if needed, but when I ask the oem device info it says unlocked. The phone is detected by the computer sometimes with unknown device and sometimes correctly with the qualcomm drivers..
I have a back up made from TWRP, I can access the device by the fastboot mode, it seems that all the operations written here worked but it doesn't install or even boot on TWRP..
Thanks for your help guys.

I'm not even using TWRP, since I can't boot on it.. But I tried to flash the twrp-3.0.2-2 from blue spark v41, after the installation via Flashboot, it doesn't boot up on the recovery..
So after flashing TWRP you use fastboot boot recovery.img and nothing happens?

Start by seeing if you can fastboot flash stock recovery from any 2.X.X OOS. Then fastboot flash twrp 3.0.2. If your on new bootloader meaning latest ROMs or OOS3 then you need to boot into 3.0.2 and from there you can flash IMG of twrp 3.0.3. Make sure you boot right back into recovery after flashing any twrp or it won't stick. This worked for me when I lost my recovery twice but always remember at your own risk. Not responsible if you make your phone into a paper weight.
Fix It!

Unlocking Bootloader1. Make sure you have a sim and active mobile data. Then go to about phone tap build number 7-8 times. After that go to advanced settings > developer options > turn on OEM unlocking and then check if this device is secure and click add account and device.
2. Download Mi unlock tool from here. Extract it and paste it in C:/unlock. or else your device won't be recognized for unlocking.
3. Open Mi unlock tool and then enter the Mi account which was on your device. Put your device in fastboot mode by pressing vol- and power and then connect to PC. Press unlock and if it tells you to wait you have no other option but to wait. If your mi flash tool shows connect your device even after you have connected it. Follow this guide here.
4. After you have unlocked your bootloader reboot your phone.
Flashing TWRP and Rooting via magisk
1. Download this TWRP image here. Thanks to the original developer mauronofrio.
2. Download adb and fastboot tools here and install it.
3. Now put your phone in fastboot mode and connect it with your pc. Now where you have downloaded the TWRP file rename it to TWRP.img and open a CMD window there if you don't know how just google.
4. Type the following commands
1. fastboot devices
2. fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img
3. fastboot reboot recovery.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
5. Your phone will boot into TWRP now. But TWRP will be overwritten by stock miui recovery to stop that you need to flash Magisk. Download this zip move it to internal storage then flash by tapping on install and swipe to flash. Reboot your device. Reboot to recovery again to check if TWRP is present.
Now your device is rooted
OR
Flash latest OrangeFox Recovery if you don't want magisk.
Flashing A rom
1. Download.
2. Flash.
3 Format Data.
Done
Feel free to ask any questions. And don't point a finger at me for messing your device.

Flashing a custom rom is optional. You don't NEED to flash a rom to get TWRP...
---------- Post added at 06:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:46 PM ----------
I've unlocked the bootloader using the unlock tool and waited for 7 days,
But i rooted the device using a different method where i patched a boot.img and flashed that to the device.
Will this method still work for me as I'm already rooted but just want TWRP so i can flash other ROMs.. The post says you have to flash magisk from the (temporary) TWRP for the TWRP to stay as the recovery..
Will the magisk on my phone and the magisk installed here collide?
I just want TWRP so i can switch to a custom rom, so any input is appreciated!!

You can flash twrp and then check if it persists. If not flash magisk again their is no thing as magisk colliding lol. Just make sure you flash a newer version. And if nothing works flash stock rom and then twrp.
If you have the stock boot IMG flash it and then intsall twrp and magisk.

Haha, makes sense! Thank you for your answers
Nevermind.. i got it to work pretty easily..
I have twrp on this device and Pixel Experience ROM and it's working all fine..
But there's this one thing where when booting to recovery, it asks me to input a password for User(0) when i try to input anything it says password failed..
From reading the log, it says it's for decrypting data(8f I'm not mistaken)
Is this important? Do i need to decrypt it?
Currently the ROM works fine with no errors, so I'm not gonna bother, but would still like to know what this "decrypting" thing is..

Yes, If you use a lock screen enter that password it will be decrypted. You will have to format data if you decide to flash any other rom anyway.

There can be many reasons for that. Please tell me the error or what's actually happening. Then only I can be of help.

Hey buddy, thank you for this quick step-by-step guide. I flash ROMs since 2012 and you know what? It helped me the same. Having all stuff needed for go from stock to custom concentrated in one place (plus some useful tip like the Magisk flash at the end) it's always useful and time-saving. Thank you
2 Micro-notes about fastboot btw:
- write 'fastboot (with lowered 'f'): it may confuse some newbie
- it's 'reboot' instead of 'boot'
Hi everyone! Unfortunately I have had to revert back to the stock china rom my phone came with due to google cracking down on rooted/altered devices, and apps such as snapchat and google pay are essential for me. I was told if I locked my bootloader while on global firmware, it would brick, so here is a tutorial to revert your realme GT back to the stock china rom.
Make sure you have all software necessary - China Rollback file A24 and twrp 3.6.0 v2 from here (thanks to qiurigao), put those files in your sdk platform tools folder, and adb and fastboot drivers, sdk platform tools
Make sure USB debugging is enabled on your device.
1.boot to fastboot mode
adb reboot bootloader

1.boot to twrp
fastboot boot twrp-3.6.0-V2.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Once you are in twrp, you can change language by tapping the setting icon in the corner, and then tapping the globe and english.
2. push ROM file to /data/ota.zip
adb push RMX2202_11_A.24_ROLLBACK_Android11.zip /data/ota.zip
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
3. TWRP install /data/ota.zip
adb shell "twrp install /data/ota.zip"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Don't worry about the red text.
4. Go stock Recovery Format data
adb reboot recovery
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
5. once in realme recovery, you can tap english, and proceed to wipe data.
6. set up phone and turn on developer options to check that usb debugging is still enabled.
7. Boot into fastboot mode
adb reboot bootloader
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
8. Lock the bootloader
fastboot flashing lock
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
select yes to locking and wiping data.
Now your phone is set back to stock firmware, with no modifications. Google Pay works again! (ofc you have to install the play store and everything but it works again ) There will be lots of updates since the rollback file is quite old.
I actually had a china version as well but after some manipulations I have successfully locked the bootloader on Indian/Russian firmware, and the Google Pay and services work perfect which is really good as the Google services were completely useless in china rom.

Oh nice! Could you tell me about these 'manipulations' ? I don't think I'll do anything like that ever again but just for my curiosity

1. The phone must be with an unlocked bootloader without a lock code on the screen. (software version at this point was C15 EU)
2. First we put this file into internal memory, RMX2202_ROLLBACK_A14_IN.
3. We go into FastBoot, boot into TWRP with the command
fastboot boot twrp.img
IMPORTANT!!! Categorically do not flash TWRP with the FLASH command
This TWRP is wildly slow, the commands are late, I pressed wait 5-6 seconds.
4. Next, if in TWRP we see the file RMX2202_ROLLBACK_A14_IN, we flash it, be sure to check the box "Force install stock payload rom"
if the file is not visible in TWRP, then commands via ADB
We copy the firmware after renaming it to RMX2202_ROLLBACK.zip to the /data/ota.zip directory with the command:
adb push RMX2202_ROLLBACK.zip /data/ota.zip
Installing a previously copied file via TWRP:
adb shell "twrp install /data/ota.zip"
5. We reboot into the stock recovery manually, or with the command:
adb reboot recovery
and do Format Data (Congratulations to you India A14) you can enable, activate
6. Using OppoRealme-OFP-Flash_1.0-x64_Windows, flash 504040RMX2202export_11_A.16_2021101902310291 (The flasher is launched via the command line, there we select the region we want and then the first item under the number 0 so that it flashes clean)
(I flash for the first time with the label IN-India (When I flash on the IN region for the first time with a flasher, the body fell into FastBoot in the process and the command line was waiting and the process did not go, then I drove it into FastBoot with the three buttons and the process continued.), activated the body, and flashed it over the same version, but with the tag RU-Russia.I think you can immediately flash on RU, skipping the step with flashing to IN, but here it is already according to your desire, if you want exactly like me, then do this)
7. Downloaded and installed all OTA updates. (You can download OTA update c16 in zip and flash through three points, after enabling developer mode)
8. IMPORTANT!!! lock the bootloader after all the updates, the phone itself wiped again, it is normal.
This was taken from another forum and translated in Google translate but I think you'll understand what is going on.
Do you have a video showing the step by step for this procedure? I have a realme GT 5G that has a global ROM, I would like to use the Chinese Rom to be able to use NFC.

Sorry, I'm afraid not. The steps listed are the same as the process to convert your phone to the global rom, it's just that you lock the bootloader at the end. So if you remember that, it's just that but locking the bootloader at the end.

bought realme on ali, the seller sent it with this ROM in v3 realme ui version. The device already has the bootloader unlocked, following this process, do I have any risk? I see many reports here

Sorry man I'm not sure for international devices, but if you're certain that your realme was originally a chinese model, you can do this? I would ask some other threads as well

Non-international device, it is Chinese. in which a global rom was added by the aliexpress seller. I want to go back to the CN factory rom following your tutorial.
installing the rollback rom is simple? Can there be any problems during the installation?

Your tutorial works perfectly, thank you very much! this CN ROM does not work the 5G ? I don't see the option to change the network type. App notifications work correctly?

Hi, for notifications I ended up having to check permissions for notifications on every app I installed, I'm not sure why but I had to do that
For 5G I had to wait like a week one time, it might be because you got your realme recently but just wait a bit and do a restart
