Hello,
I got a Redmi 3S, and I've checked if bootloader was locked or not with: fastboot oem device-info. I got a locked bootloader.
Then I tried: fastboot oem unlock-go and it worked. I got the status saying that was unlocked.
I flashed twrp recovery but it didn't worked out. It said that it was flashed, but can't access via Power + volume up. When I do that, I get a xiaomi menu with options like "Download", "recovery" and so on. if I choose "Recovery", I get a blackscreen. And I just power the phone, it's asking for a security password.. I don't have it. Is there any way to reflash miui recovery and try to install a miui rom?
Regards
Just flash factory firmware (developer maybe) with MiFlash. Everything should be fine. For your info, Redmi 3 doesn't have factory recovery.
To flash with MiFlash enter download mode. If you really have unlocked bootloader than you can use fastboot also

Thanks. Btw, it's cm13 stable and everything works? When I flashed recovery(twrp), after I shutdown and power on with volume up, didn't went to the twrp. Went to the xiaomi recovery menu. Is that normal? I have a Redmi Note 3 Pro, and after I flash the twrp, when I press power + volume up, it goes directly to twrp. Maybe I did something wrong.

Hi all,
I have a Xiaomi Redmi 3 and I tried updating it to Android 6.0 today using a very helpful article from cyanogenmods
It was all going so well until the end when I came to flash the ROM, I downloaded the wrong one!! (I needed the ARM64).
Anyway my phone restarted and now I can't seem to rectify my mistake!
I can't access the recovery mode (Power button and volume up) It just shows me the Xiaomi sign and stays there but I can access Fastboot (Power and volume down) and it can communicate with the PC via CMD.
I'm super new to this and I've been looking online for the past 5 hours with no luck so maybe someone can help me out.
I tried fastboot update open_gapps-arm64-6.0-aroma-20160814.zip
But I got...
archive does not contain 'android-info.txt'
archive does not contain 'android-product.txt'
error: update package has no android-info.txt or android-product.txt
Any suggestions? I've found a few other threads but they're way too techy for me and I couldn't understand what to do!
Thanks in advance
I've realised that my initial post was pretty vague and I don't think I used the correct terminology so I'll explain in the hope that someone may be able to help.
So I wanted to update from 5.1.1 to 6.0.
I found an article from Cyanogenmods and I downloaded the Redmi 3 TWRP recovery, the ROM for Redmi 3 Cyanogenmods 13 and the GApps.
I installed the TWRP recovery,
Copied the GApps and CyanogenMod ROM ZIP to my device
Booted into recovery mode and backed up my data using TWRP,
Wiped data factory reset, Cache partition, Dalvik Cache and Formatted the System partition,
I flashed the custom ROM and it all worked well,
I then went to flash the GApps and thats when it said that I had installed the wrong version (I needed the ARM64 not the 32).
It then restarted and I've been stuck in a bootloop.
I can access fastboot.
I can't get into recovery, the phone just goes to the Xiaomi sign then gets stuck on the Cyanogenmod logo.
A few times it looked like it was doing an update but it was all in Chinese so I couldn't understand it then it briefly went to what looked like a set up screen but then rebooted and got stuck on the logo screen again.
Any help would be great;y appreciated.
I only bought this phone a few days ago, my stupid mistake for wanting to upgrade!!

if i was in your situation i'd probably go fastbootmode > EDL > then flash official dev rom from miui site(ido). from there'd id redo everything unlocking bootloader,flashing twrp,etc.
check out this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-3/development/redmi-3-pro-spacex-rom-t3406919
it has a "How to Unbrick Redmi 3 ? " on the first page.
helped me alot, hope it unbricks ur phone too! cheers!
have you unlocked your bootloader?, its very risky to change to custom rom when your bootloader is locked, if its already unlocked, all you have to do is go to en.miui.com and download official rom for redmi 3 and flash it using Miflash
Edl mode is the best bet to get back to stock. Vol up and down while plugging in if i recall, from an off state. I couldn't get it from fastboot.
Lets try this for reach to TWRP.
First press volume up and down button after press power button and wait.
Phone is going to restart and you see mi icon very short time and screen is going black, immediately release all buttons and wait. You have to reach recovery with this combination.
Open a terminal/command prompt and navigate to where you have the TWRP file. Put phone in fastboot mode and enter this command: "fastboot boot (name_of_TWRP.img)".
Then when you're in recovery, just flash the new Gapps.
Hello, everyone. I was using Lineage OS 14.1 with Nougat 7.1.2 on my Redmi Note 3. My fingerprint was not working for some time, so today I decided to return to MIUI. I downloaded the last dev version and installed it via TWRP (now I know it was a mistake). My phone is dead. It's not turning on, it just keeps in the "Mi" boot logo. It's not even entering in Recovery mode neither Fastboot mode. When I try to enter Recovery mode, the Mi logo appears for just a second and then dissapears. When I try to enter Fastboot mode and when I connect it to the charger, the red LED starts to blink, and it's not EDL because my PC doesn't recognize it. I have a backup that I made before flashing MIUI, but I can't enter recovery mode. Please help me. Thanks.
You can flash MIUI on ZCX Twrp but on standard Twrp you must also flash Lazy flasher zip file along with ROM zip but above solutions are only if you have unlocked bootloader officially .
Hold Vol+ Pwr key for sometime first MI logo appears keep holding the keys don't release second time device will vibrate and again show MI logo now release keys & report what happens so I can guide you from there

Go to edl mode and reflash miui

It does nothing. I managed to release keys just after the logo appears and it keeps stuck at the logo.
I have my bootloader officially unlocked, though. What can I do?

How can I go to edl mode?
try to connect to pc by holding volume down you should be in fastboot mode
See for post in the guides section"INSTALL ZCX TWRP AND UNLOCK BOOTLAODER WITHOUT DATA LOSS KENZO"
this method will help you as I have also faced issue like you and recovered easily by this method in few minutes.
I had the same issue when I upgraded from CM13 to LOS14.1 a week ago. Did you unlock bootloader officially? If you did, just unlock bootloader oficially again and your phone should be working

Hello. I have the bootloader oficially unlocked. I managed to put the phone into fastboot mode, but my pc does not recognize. I think the charging port is damaged. I ordered it via Aliexpress. I will try this when it arrives.
Hi!
I have a OnePlus X and the year after I bought it, I flashed TWRP and installed Lineage OS. Since then, I've flashed many custom roms on my phone. A few weeks back, I decided to flash Resurrection Remix. The battery life on my phone with resurrection was pathetic so I assumed it could be fixed by flashing a custom kernel (franco kernel). I downloaded franco kernel, copied it to my SD card and powered off my phone.
Instead of pressing the VOLUME DOWN and POWER button simultaneously to enter TWRP, I pressed the VOLUME UP and POWER button by accident and went into Fastboot mode. When in Fastboot mode, I pressed the VOLUME DOWN and POWER button thinking my phone would boot into recovery, but it got stuck in a bootloop.
Now my phone can boot only into fastboot mode by pressing the volume up+power button. Any other combination of buttons and it goes into a bootloop.
All this is completely my fault and I would do anything to try and fix it.
Is my phone soft bricked or hard bricked? ( I have a feeling that it is soft bricked).
I've downloaded the android SDK and Minimal adb and fastboot on my pc. I'm able to run fastboot commands, but when I type 'fastboot oem unlock', I get an error saying
"FAILED (remote: oem unlock is disabled)". I've tried 'fastboot flashing unlock' too, but the screen just says "...". Hence, I'm not able to flash TWRP. I tried flashing even the stock recovery but it wouldn't work.
Is there any other way to unlock the bootloader?
I haven't tried the Mega unbrick guide for a hard bricked OnePlus X yet, since I'm able to boot into fastboot mode. Should I give it a shot?
And lastly, can I recover my phone from this mess or is it permanently bricked?
I would appreciate any help.
Thank you!
Sounds very similar to my situation. I did end up following that guide to get mine going again. The link is broken to get the recovery tool, the 2nd one below is the "minimal" version which isn't supposed to wipe data. That is the one that worked for me. I would backup any data if you can first, no guarantee it wont wipe it. Mine wouldn't boot into the stock rom after, but at least it would get to the stock bootloader (VolDOWN + PWR). From there I was able to adb sideload the stock rom (Install from USB). This completely restored it to stock.

Surely your bootloader is already unlocked isn't it?
You don't actually say what happens when you try to reboot into recovery using fastboot commands. Does that fail too? What happens when you try to flash twrp again? You don't actually say.
That's what I thought too. It would just say 'recovery.img' not found or something like that. But, I followed the Mega unbrick guide and was able to install the stock ROM through the stock recovery. My OPX is alive again!
i'm stuck here. the phone does not go into recovery at all .. stuck on oneplus logo .. I don't know what to do .. any ideas?

I managed to get it alive again with this guide
Installed successful on fastboot command but twrp won't boot up I am on redmi note 5 Amy ideas
I have the same issue and it's with any custom recovery, when I try to flash it it works but when I try to boot into one of these things happen:
1. I get the stock recovery
2. Fastboot shows up (what?)
3. It just does not boot and shows the xiaomi logo
I have literally tried everything but I cannot get this fixed.
Phone is unlocked everything is ok but it does just not work and it is very annoying.
Please if you have any ideas share them

I had the same issue, and I did the following: enter fastboot, flash the recovery using fastboot flash recovery twrp.img, disconnect the USB cable, and try entering recovery directly from fastboot mode (Volume Up + Power).
Hi,
I have Redmi Note4 (SD). Downloaded last fastboot image, did flash_all.sh and MIUI works on both locked and unlocked bootloader.
I can unlock bootloader, flash TWRP, but when I try to flash LineageOS, I always get the same scenario.
Phone hangs in about 60 seconds, screen hangs for 3 seconds and goes black and phone seems to enter EDL mode. Why is that?
Previously all custom roms worked. Did anyone have a similar case?
Thanks
Same here, can´t find a solution to the problem other than staying on MIUI
Enter twrp, flash persist.img. You can get it from unpacking official fastboot rom.
