Bootloader relocked - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers

Hey guys i flashed Resurrection remix rom 5.7.4 through twrp on my redmi note 3 sd
Now i got to know that i am having an unofficial rr rom
So i think i might relocked my bootloader
I have a doubt can i still flash any other rom or i have to unlock my bootloader again?

I don't think official resurrection remix can relock bootloader as its a custom rom and if its relocked then ur device may not bootup.If that's the problem u can flash lazyflasher zip along official resurrection remix rom lazyflasher does all the modifications on rom to keep ur bootloader unlocked .Checkout miui thread on lazyflasher:good: http://en.miui.com/thread-283146-1-1.html

Simply check your bootloader in fastboot mode, if it locked then you can easily unlock it directly using miunlock tool.
Anyway, flashing rr rom even unofficial version won't relock your bootloader since zip package didn't contains any firmwarw.

Thought you should try to use other twrp. In MM, i always use twrp modified by thestrix and never found any issue during flashing any custom rom. In N, i used twrp modified by dadi11 which fully support N rom and backward.
Please try & let me know the result.
Anyway, i assumed that zip packaged from exodus & du not corrupt.

You can try this one to replace your current twrp.
To install recovery images use Flashify / Rashr / TWRP Manager from Play Store or flash in your current recovery:
1. Go to install, find and select the Images... button.
2. Browse to the image that you downloaded and select it.
3. Choose recovery and swipe to flash.

Bootloop Please help

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

Redmi note 3 flashing twrp help

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

PA I believe is on the old bootloader still. So you would have to downgrade your bootloader by flashing LL stock recovery and 2.x.x OOS firmware. Not worth the hassle if you ask me.

Right but if your downgrading your bootloader to flash PA you need to use old bootloader TWRP 3.0.2. So that being said easiest way is flash 2.2.3 with blusprk 3.0.2-2 TWRP then immediately after flash TWRP 3.0.2 image. Now re boot back into recovery and flash PA. I prefer flashing 2.2.3 with stock LL recovery less chance of issues. Then just fastboot flash old TWRP 3.0.2 and continue with PA.

My question is that if I try to flash a custom rom(I guess Havoc OS) after unlocking my RN3's bootloader "unofficially" with this guide.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/unlock-unofficially-install-zcx-twrp-t3586778
Will i get a boot loop?
And to avoid that what should I do?
I don't want to go for official unlock tool, it takes 360hr I can't wait that much.
Please I don't want to brick my phone.
Thanks in advance
Please help

Havoc got bootanimation bug. May take time on boot.
U Flash arrow OS. best battery.
First update ur phone to latest miui 10.
Then unlock it using ur method. After unlocking U will be on zcx old recovery.
Now download Flash below twrp latest 3.2.3 official.
https://dl.twrp.me/kenzo/
Go to new latest twrp
Format data. Type yes to format. Will delete data and internal sd.
Then wipe data reset
Flash Arrow os
Flash pico or nano gapps
Reboot
Thank you very much for replying sir,
I have 2 more questions.
1. If I unlock unofficially and install zcx twrp, and then how will i install official TWRP that you mentioned 3.2.3 version safely without any bootloops or stuck?
2. After installing official TWRP, if I try flashing ArrowOS, is it possible to get bootloop after flash (because some people say they hard bricked their phone after flashing Roms after using unofficial method)?

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.
