Choosing custom rom - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers

Hey guys, some days ago i bought my xiaomi redmi note 3 kenzo (snapdragon). I am using the official stable miui rom right now but i want to use a custom Whats the best and most stable right now ? Im thinking of LineageOS and radon kernel, what do you think ? I am open to suggestions I would prefer a nougat rom but i read that there are still problems because xiaomi hasnt released yet nougat. The camera doesnt work or i have to use an non-stock app for the camera ? And one more thing. I want to unlock the bootloader with the official way. What exactly i must do ?
thanks !!!!!

for the official way to unlock, apply for permission on mi unlock site. just google it.
then first thing to do, create backup of modemst1 and modemst2.
flash twrp recovery and make backup of efs. (modemst1+modemst2)
now store that backup in a safe place.
Now there are many rom, i would suggest cm13 because quite frankly it is the most stable with not so many useless features.
for nougat yes lineage is a good choice. for kernel definitely radon is the best you can ask for.

because its been a long time since i flashed a device... is it safe if i do something wrong ? i mean if i have TWRP if i do something wrong i just revert back ? is there any possibility for something to go wrong even with the TWRP installation ? also if i install the CM 13 and radon kernel if i want to go back to Oficial Miui with stock kernel i just restore the backup i made ?

anyone?

Which one to flash on my Kenzo ? CM Vs Linage

Hi people,
I downloaded few week ago the Cyanogenmod 14.1 (cm-14.1-20161225-NIGHTLY-kenzo) and I see that a linage version was release also (lineage-14.1-20170207-nightly-kenzo-signed.zip) So which one to choose ?
reassure me, both are coming without gapps ?
Did I should flash this firmware before ? https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/cm14-14-1-aosp-n-firmware-kenzo-kate-t3507789
Thank you.
LOS. CM is "dead".
Neither come with Google apps so you'll need to flash them if you want them.
You don't need to flash firmware if you're coming from the latest MIUI. It doesn't harm anything if you do though.
Thank you @theoneofgod :good:
did you have a page how describe how to install the liange os Trough TWRP ZCX ?
Thank's
You can flash TWRP using this method, it won't require you to unlock the bootloader either.

DO NOT FLASH STOCK 5.9.026s THROUGH TWRP ON YOUR X722!!! HARD BRICK!

x722 QFIL is now available for hard bricks. See x722 Development Forum or scroll down for the link.
Although this thread is stickied in the Question & Answers sub-forum, I see that people are still ending up with bricked phones because they only visit this section of the forum. Let's hope this thread puts an end to accidental bricks once and for all (and let's hope that the future brings a solution to these bricked x722s).
Don't worry; custom 26s ROMs are fine to flash through TWRP. Vendor ROMs are fine to flash through TWRP.
Just don't flash the first stock 26s ROM you find online. Like the 26s ROM from Needrom, or a 26s ROM from a Chinese forum.
WARNING! There was a report that @STEVE_MARS's Genesys 26s ROM bricked a phone. See this post for reference. I urge you to stay away from that ROM and other eUI 26s based ROMs. You never know if your device will get bricked
Below lies the same info as is in the Q&A forum sticky.
Planning on flashing a custom ROM on your LeEco Pro3 Elite x722? Planning on flashing TWRP on your LeEco Pro3 Elite x722?
READ THIS ENTIRE POST FIRST, or you may accidentally brick your device
DO NOT flash official/stock 26s through TWRP.
DO NOT UPDATE TO official/stock 26s if you want to flash TWRP on your x722.
Your x722 will get permanently bricked if you install stock 26s (or firmware WIXCNFN5802005041S) through TWRP. That's because stock 26s permanently locks down the bootloader. At that point, only fastboot is available. Do not attempt this or you will end up with a permanently bricked device.
EDIT: As of September 24, 2018, @F.J.V has posted the x722's QFIL. Hooray! https://forum.xda-developers.com/le...ides-development--and-mods/qfil-x722-t3846553
HELP! I'm on 26s! I received my x722 and it's stuck on 26s! HOW DO I GET RID OF IT?
That's simple. If your x722 is on stock 26s, you only need to flash Batyan's 01D developer ROM (20s) through the stock LeEco recovery. Click for the download and instructions. Follow the instructions and you will be able to safely unlock the bootloader and flash TWRP.
However, most x722s are on vendor ROMs. If your phone is on a 26s vendor ROM, it's safe to flash. Look at the chart below to figure out if you've got stock 26s or vendor 26s. If you're not sure about what you have, post here and we'll try to help. If you don't want to take any chances, you can always downgrade to 01D first.
@dakok has created a handy chart for the different vendor ROMs here.
I just got my x722 today and I want to unlock the bootloader, root it, and flash TWRP. How do I do that?
Here you go: [GUIDE][X722] Unlock Bootloader + TWRP + ROOT
What ROMs are available for the x722? Will x720 ROMs work on the x722?
Some x720 ROMs are indeed compatible with the x722, but need to be ported to the x722, therefore not all x720 ROMs work on the x722. If the ROM is not specifically for your device (i.e. labelled as being for the x722), don't flash it. For example, MIUI is not available for the x722 because no one has ported it from the x720 to the x722. If you flash, say, MIUI 9 for LEX720 on your x722, you'll end up with a soft brick, most likely.
Remember to make a Nandroid backup of your eUI ROM before flashing any other ROM!
Downgrading to the 01D ROM won't harm your phone in any way, but this ROM's performance isn't the best compared to normal 20s or 26s vendor (shop) ROMs. It's a developer's ROM, after all. So if you ever want to return to eUI, you'll want to make a backup of your vendor/shop eUI ROM via Nandroid if you're sick of custom ROMs for whatever reason.
I want to go back to eUI from a custom ROM. What should I do?
If you want to return to the 01D 20s ROM, you have to flash it through the stock LeEco recovery, NOT TWRP! Do not attempt to flash the .bat file from this package or the update.zip from this package via TWRP or you might screw up your device royally. If you absolutely need to go back to this ROM for whatever reason, you need to flash the stock recovery first through fastboot.
I recommend you follow my advice and make a Nandroid backup of your 20s vendor/shop eUI ROM or the 01D ROM (if you had to downgrade because you were on a stock LeEco ROM) before flashing anything else on your device. Guys, it's basic XDA knowledge to make a Nandroid backup of stock software before attempting anything... c'mon now.
Feel free to correct/add to this thread as you see fit. Thanks.

I just received my LEX722 today, but it's on Android 6.0.1 with 1 August Security Patch (EUI 5.8.020S build WIXCNFN5802001232S release-keys). And I don't see any option to check updates.
I'm on a Shop ROM? If yes, how I can find and install/update to latest Global ROM without any brick?
And what's the latest version available of Official ROM?
Sorry for many questions, I do not know anything about the device.

Hi.
I guess i got the same rom as you on my LEX722, and there isn't any OTA checker. I recommend you to flash a custom rom if you want, or, flash modded Genesys 26S which has modded kernel so it won't lock up your bootloader.

Got it, thank you so much! I will install Genesys 26S to enjoy the Official ROM a bit. Just for an info, what is the best Custom ROM in stability? LOS 15.1?

Ok, let me quickly explain.
You are on a vendor rom, but any "20s" is a good rom (EUI 5.8.020S even if the build is different)
Although there is another "official" rom, YOU SHOULD NOT INSTALL IT, because then you won't be able to unlock bootloader and if you do that, you simply cannot modify your phone any more.
I highly recommend that you make a nandroid backup or a twrp backup (and if you can, provide it to me, because I need it).
LeEco is not making anymore phones, so you won't have any more official updates, so you won't have any nougat neither oreo unless you flash a custom rom. The only rom provided here is a developer rom that has a "vendor patch", but it's not exactly an original stock/vendor rom.
How can i install the stock 26s? i'm on custom 8.1
I have the stock 26S (WIXCNFN5902607031S) that came with the phone. I checked and the bootloader is unlocked. Can I flash the twrp and the Pixel Experience?

Unlocked bootloader? Than i guess you are good to go.
Hard brick nightmare is over now.

Hi, this happened also to me after installing @CrisBalGreece ROM. Now, I can enter only in fastboot. I connot enter in TWRP since the phone freeze and restart. Qfill cannot solve the problem.
Did you find a solution?

MIUI 10 Downgrade on Mido?

I apologize if I ask something very basic, but I have not used MIUI for a long time ... If I install a custom MIUI 10 ROM like Globe ROM, Epic Rom or EU, will I be able to return without problems to AOSP ROMS? I read that xiaomi blocked the rollbacks ... For root, Magisk 17? Xposed works fine?
Last question, which one of those ROMS do you recommend?
Thank you very much.
For roll-back, AFAIK, there is not arb implemented in Redmi note 4,so yes you can go back to aosp's and can root via magisk also.
Search anti-roll back nd follow the procedure

Redmi note 4x (SD) Help Guide for flashing from stock MIUI to custom pie rom?

Hi everyone, I want to use a Pie based ROM. Now I am using stock MIUI 9.6 Global bootloader unlocked. What would be the best procedure to flash a pie based ROM? And can I come back to MIUI if I want? What am I going to sacrifice if I flash treble ROM? I know It's a lot of questions but please try to answer it. Thanks in advance ?

If you have an unlocked bootloader, it's going to be easy. Install TWRP or OrangeFox Recovery. You will get the instructions in the respective pages of XDA. Then, take a complete backup of all partitions using TWRP/OrangeFox, back up the apps using Titanium Backup, and then get a ROM of your liking, and install it.
You are not going to sacrifice anything if you flash a treble ROM. You can revert to MIUI 10 at any point.
But do keep in mind that Android Pie ROMs are quite new and might have a bug or two.
Unlock Bootloader first
Flash twrp
Flash cusrom
Flash GApps
Flash Magisk (if you want to root)
Reboot

The posts above me has mentioned the method to flash custom treble ROM. In case you find any difficulty in flashing it, you can PM me. The procedure they mentioned are simple enough and the steps are user friendly. Take a recovery backup once you flash your custom ROM. You can come back to MIUI anytime you want.
I had flashed ROMs for various versions including Treble ROMs. In regards to selection of treble roms, you find whichever customisation features and options you like and select them.
I find MIUI to be stable enough for daily use. In case you are a flashaholic like me then you can try all the custom ROMs and check which is stable enough for your use.
I faced a major difficulty of signal instability with custom ROMs. Fyi I am in India and the network is JIO. I found too many blank spots and lesser signal quality. Apart from that the ROMs are fluid and fast enough.

Definately download the stock firmware first. I forgot, and I'm having a hard time getting the right version.
I did not check headphones yet, but audio/video is all well. Currently I have another OS (Evolution) installed, I might revert back to LineageOS in a few days. I will check headphones then.
Main issue I'm having now is the mobile service connection. It's very unreliable, and the data is always off. Also on Evolution OS, so it might be the phone's hardware. (Did not check out of the box.)
Edit, okay, back to LineageOS 17.1. Don't know how, but the modem works now.
It was about this file: amss_fsg_poplar_tar.mbm
I think because I installed Lineage 19 without simcard.
I tried to flash stock ROM, but could not get it to work.
A lot of "invalid Zip format" errror messages...
So I tried LOS 17, and it al worked, then dirty installed 18, and then 20. And modem worked, but then failed.
Back to 17.1 again, and up till now no problemos.
