So i just unlocked my bootloader officially, i had a question on TWRP and root. im on the SD version RN3
Which is the best TWRP to flash ? The official 3.0.2 or the modified Cofface 3.0.0
If i use the Cofface one , the latest do i still need to use the universal boot patcher ? ( i only intend to stick to xiaomi roms, mostly china or global dev or the xiaomi.eu roms)
I will then flash supersu to root
To update each rom OTA , i will need to unroot , flash OTA via updater app or via normal update received from OS , then flash supersu again?
Many guides state that if u use the latest Cofface one nothing else is needed when flashing miui based roms, some say the universal flasher is needed, hence was confused n thought id ask here.

I think best choice is cofface twrp in your situation
Nothing is needed when you flash miui based roms because you unlocked officially. Universal boot patcher is for people who unlocked unofficially
I wonder at this stage, which is better? Stable ROM or Developer ROM? I want a fully root access to my phone. Install TWRP. That's it.
I read somewhere that Developer ROM is bootloader locked, while only Stable ROM is the only that can be bootloader unlocked.
As from this thread guide: http://en.miui.com/thread-253680-1-1.html
If I successfully unlocked bootloader, then I flash Developer ROM, will I still have bootloader unlock or is it locked? Any risked?
Please advice. Thank you.
Any MIUI ROM will relock your bootloader. Do NOT flash any MIUI ROM without modifying it first. That’s how I hardbricked my device.
What you need to do is open the .zip file you want to flash. Go to the folder firmware-update and delete emmc_appsboot.mbn. If you want to use MIUI, I recommend using a Xiaomi.eu build because it’s compatible with TWRP.
I tested this method and it works. You can find similar posts in this forum if you search. However, I recommend that you still apply for the official unlock, wait until you get permission and then flash a fastboot ROM from miui.com and unlock it officially.
Thank you. I also thinking to apply xiaomi eu, since the last MIUI 7 based ROM already release.
Ok, now I go back to GLOBAL ROM stable Version: V7.1.8.0.LHOMICL (MIUI7) and unlock bootloader. Install TWRP and root.
Now I want to install xiaomi.eu ROM: 6.5.26 - Last Miui 7!
https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/6-5-26-last-miui-7.31811/
Can I just flash this custom ROM directly from TWRP? DO I still need to flash modded boot.img?
whenever i flash the fastboot rom with the new modified emmc_appsboot.mbn phone is always bricekd. I always have to flash the original one for the phone to boot
Hi,
is it possible to unofficially unlock the bootloader of a Kate device?

Just use the official (en.miui.com/unlock) or unofficial (http://en.miui.com/thread-345728-1-1.html) method.
Running CM13 since some days without any problems, anything work perfect. (use kenzo CM13 Version and flash modem from original MIUI rom)

Well, the official method doesn't work for me.
Cannot Verify Error. Account Info different on device.

Please consider booting into MIUI once after unlocking and before installing a custom rom, to avoid the storage problem I'm having right now
Hello all
Recently I have purchased a Note 4 Nikel which arrived with MIUI 8.2 Global As I am quite restless, very quickly requested the unlock of the bootloader and flashed TWRP.
Now I would like to flash some custom ROM, but I do like to have a “safe” place to return. Already have a nandroid image of my “unlocked” MIUI 8.2 with system, data, nvram, boot and recovery, but a Little bit concerned about not beig able to, at least come to this if things goes wrong.
I have tried to flash a MIUI oficial upgrade (to 8.5.Idonotremember) with no sucess, global and chinese versions. It says has not been able to flash for “other reason”. Wonder if
• I am using the right roms (http://en.miui.com/download-309.html)
• Wont be able to flash anything coming from Xiaomy being unlocked
• I can relock
• There are Stocks MIUI for the nickel flashable using TWRP
If any of you could solve my doubts, I would be grateful.
Also if you have any recomendation for custom ROMS. Would be very welcome
Regards and thank you!!!
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?

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?
Thanks
