Hello all
I have been using CM13 so far on my Redmi Note 3 (Snapdragon). I would like to flash official Miui 8 recovery ROM. I have "twrp cofface" recovery. However, whenever I try to flash the .zip via my twrp recovery, it re-locks the bootloader and replaces my twrp with stock recovery and effectively the phone goes into boot loop.
I have unlocked my bootloader officially. Could anyone tell me how do I flash Miui ROM from TWRP recovery? Do I need another variant of the TWRP? I dont want to flash Miui ROM via fastboot as it would involve installing mi flashing tool. Is it possible to flash Miui via twrp without re-locking bootloader and also keeping the custom recovery?
Thanks.
I just found out I need to flash alka twrp. I did so and now I can flash Miui 8 without any problems. Please close this thread. Thanks.

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..

Just use cofface recovery for stock roms:

I think that the Alca recovery do the same, but I haven't test it yet

I have snapdragon device( kenzo).. officially unlocked bootloader and installed cofface twrp.. currently on cm13.. want to revert back to global stable miui 8 , which is latest release... how to do that?? plz help..
1) flash akla twrp from ur present twrp
2) flash miui 8 global stable rom (1.19 gb)
3) reboot to fastboot mode
4) connect ur phone to pc and unlock the bootloader from mi unlock
5) reboot
Congrats, now you're in miui 8
There is no need to flash Alka twrp, cofface will be sufficient.
Also, no need to unlock the bootloader again if its already unlocked.
Just flash the correct version from here http://en.miui.com/a-234.html through cofface twrp.
Also, dont forget to nand back up your current ROM.
Flashing the mi recovery rom through alka twrp relocks the bootloader, and that's why the device can't boot into miui after flashing.
Unlocking the bootloader solves this problem.
Both the methods are legit.
Up to you which one you'll choose.
I am not sure if simply unlocking the bootloader again solves the problem. I tried that and Miui would still enter the boot loop even after unlocking.
Hi! I have officially unlocked my bootloader.
Can I just follow this steps(no more no less) to go back to Stock MIUI?
http://en.miui.com/a-234.html
i'm afraid because I read that it may cause a bootloop to Mi logo only
As soon as i flash twrp it breaks my phone from booting with official and un official bootloader unlock. I feel like i am missing something very simple I'm running miui. Thanks.
Solved: boot.img not patched, fixed by installing zcx recovery.
i'm in trouble. i'm running an old cm13 build on my oneplus x.
i wanted to clean install lineageos14, so i tried to flash the newest twrp recovery which didn't work (i have the old bootloader). so now i have no recovery on my device, cm13 is still booting fine.
when i try to flash twrp trough fastboot it tells me my device is not unlocked. when i try to oem unlock it reboots directly into cm13, not into recovery as i dont have one on my device. oem unlock is checked in developer settings.
i don't know how i can get a working recovery, i tried to flash old twrp (2.8.7) and the stock recovery trough fastboot, but no luck. how can i flash the stock oxygen rom without recovery?
maybe someone can help me. thanks in advance.
This guide will help https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-x/general/guide-mega-unbrick-guide-hard-bricked-t3272108/
Latest stock oxygen will be flashed by recovery tool. But before it you should backup all needed data from internal memory.
