Hey there, so I just recently purchased my first Redmi Note 3 Pro! And I am very happy.
Before this phone I had a OnePlus One which I flashed Sultan's CM13.0 on.
So therefore, I flashed Santhosh's CM13.0 on my RN3P, but some things aren't working as they should. ( My Telenor Myanmar simcard isn't working in slot 1, using two sim cards at the same time renders both unusable, etc.)
So now I would like to go to MIUI Global Dev. But the thing is, while I was flashing CM 13.0, I forgot to create a backup in Alka TWRP. So now I can't go back to China Stable which is what my phone came with. I did not officially unlock my phone, instead I used the EDL method to flash the fastboot MIUI Global Dev ROM (from the /r/Xiaomi wiki on Reddit, can't post link).
Therefore my question is, is it possible to go from Santhosh's CM13.0 to MIUI Global Dev by doing these steps:
1. Boot into Alka TWRP, do a data format and a full advanced wipe.
2. Boot into EDL mode.
3. Unzip the Global Dev fastboot ROM with WinRAR.
4. In the unzipped ROM, replace recovery.img with the TWRP image file.
5. Launch MiFlash and with the 'select' button browse for the root directory of the unzipped fastboot ROM (where flash_all.bat and other batch files are). Refresh in MiFlash.
6. Select 'clean all' at the bottom of the window and click flash.
7. Disconnect the phone and hold Power+VolUp until the phone enters TWRP.
8. Go to the 'Reboot' menu and select System. You will be asked whether you want to disable the stock recovery mode or not. Slide to disable.
9. Wait for MIUI to boot in.
Thank-you in advance!

Yes, but you should flash Zcx twrp instead of alka twrp. Zcx can disable dm-verity on the locked bootloader and avoid a bootloop. The important thing is to boot into recovery immediately after flashing and before booting into miui. After that you can flash SuperSU and root you phone.
Good luck.

Hello! Thank-you for the quick and informative reply. So I should flash ZCX TWRP and then proceed?

Just replace the stock recovery.img with the recovery.img from Zcx twrp and flash the global dev ROM in edl mode. That worked for me.

Okay straight forward. Do you have a link to ZCX TWRP? Or should I just download it from the Chinese forums

There's a thread on it in the Redmi Note 3 guides forum here on XDA with links. One thing to be aware of, the recovery will come up in Chinese the first time. There are plenty of videos showing how to change the language if you can't read Mandarin.

Hi ,
I have to revert back to latest MIUI ROM from CM13 ROM [ locked Bootloader]. I have read other threads too but theres never a clear answer.
First of all I dont have any backup of any MIUI roms. I want to do a clean install of latest MIUI build.
What do I have? : Alka TWRP, CM 13 with locked bootloader I think.
Can someone please tell me what do things I need to revert back with steps?
Do I need to unlock the bootloader first then flash the lastest build of MIUI with MiFlash tool? or the bootloader needs to unlocked later after the flash?
Or can I install MIUI recovery rom? with ALKA TWRP?
Flesh miui rom via edl method using mi flash tool.
download fastboot rom and flash via mi flash.
it will lock ur bootloader so unlock it via mi unlock again if u officially unlocked.
off course this method requires a PC.

In the developer mode settings, enable advance options to restart. This will give you the option (on long pressing the power button) to reboot into recovery. If by this method you can get into recovery it would be alot easy to flash the MIUI ROM (which you can get for your device from the official miui rom download site).
If you can't get into recovery, you will need a PC/laptop.

Most probably yes.
But you could try( before unlocking) booting into recovery as i have mentioned above.
I'm currently using Pixel experience
I want to go to Stock MiUi Room
Please Tell me how to!!
My phone is a Pocophone not Poco F1(is there any difference?) Global Edition
I'm curious about how you managed to flash a custom ROM but now you don't know how to flash the stock one ???
Follow this guide dude
just download the RECOVERY ROM from
https://forum.xda-developers.com/poco-f1/how-to/xiaomi-poco-f1-unlock-bootloader-custom-t3839405
and flash it via TWRP !
and you are DONE
wana root?
- after flashing ROM, reboot, signin , settle and then come back in twrp and flash magisk19 and reboot
why?
in my xperience the setup wizard takes forever to signin to google if you flash magisk,, i have no explaination why! but it happens with me many times !
The method described above will lock my boot loader again?

I don't know but flashing via mi flash tool can clean all + lock boot loader , it's an easy process .
For this process all you need is mi flash tool + latest miui build+ universal adb drivers .
it would be best to flash xiaomi.eu rom via twrp. No hassle with bootloader, recovery etc
If you want to go back to stock ROM you have two options. First one is via installing stock ROM from recovery and the second one is via fastboot mode. If you search MIUI firmware on chrome and then you have to open the first site. Then search POCO F1 and you will get the ROMs for recovery and fastboot mode. Then follow the instruction on "Munchy" youtube channel.
To install Stock Rom download the recovery Rom and the latest Magisk.zip
Boot to TWRP click install and select the recovery rom then hit add zip and select magisk.zip and swipe to install.
You are done twrp will remain there along with root.
I would certainly like to root my Poco F1. However, after reading loads of topics, I'm still not sure of which way to choose, because I have a bit of a problem with the jargon.
I want the face unlock to be working
I want to get rid of MIUI and have clean Android (for example Smart Lock doesn't work with MIUI)
I want to use gestures to navigate through the phone
Hence, I am probably looking for a custom ROM?
If I understand correctly, I need to:
Unlock the bootloader, then flash TWRP, then flash the custom ROM, then flash Magisk... and everything is done (?)
If I want to revert to stock ROM, I will just wipe everything, am I right?
Would these custom ROMs do?

Thank you all!
You need to flash the appropriate vendor as well. You can find the list of vendor firmwares for download here:
downloads. akhilnarang .me/MIUI/beryllium/
Most custom roms require a specific requirement for vendor. I'd recommend flashing the latest vendor, it shouldn't cause issues.
Magisk flashing isn't a necessary step, unless you prefer root access. Make sure to back up your data because your phone will get encrypted on first boot and all your data will be lost, not to mention the data loss during bootloader unlock. You can use force encryption disabler to disable encryption. But note that you will have to flash the zip every time you flash a new ROM/vendor or else it will get encrypted again.
Also. Pixel experience is a good ROM for stock android experience, but I would recommend lineage OS unofficial over it because of the customisation it provides. I haven't used Nitrogen OS in a long time, so I cannot judge on it.
PS: don't forget gapps. Custom ROMs don't have gapps included.
Let's correct a few things in kishore1998's post. First since the OP needs to unlock his bootloader, when he does that he'll lose all data. OP, if your data is important, backup to an external source before you start. After unlocking you'll need a recovery as stated before. Next is flashing vendor/firmware. After that , flash the rom of your choice. In it's OP it should tell you whether you need gapps or not. PE doesn't require gapps. Reboot, make sure all is fine then go back into recovery and flash Magisk. I'm on vendor/firmware 9.5.6, PE-AOSP-20180507 & Magisk 19.1. NOTE: I don't use DFE nor do I need it. You only need DFE if you want an unencrypted fone. If you do flash DFE, everytime you flash vendor/firmware your _next_ step is to flash DFE. TWRP allows you to stack zips to flash so you'll choose vendor/firmware and DFE, then flash before doing rom and gapps if needed. See this link which has a useful FAQ.

hey bro . you should first unlock bootloader with miunlock .you need waiting 66 hours . after that download developer rom (pejmimx) rememeber that most be pejmimx, search in google and download the final version. install twrp with minimal adb if your poco didnt connect to your pc in fastboot mode you need to change your pc (just once time ) . flash data system cache davlik (you should have micro sd or conect flash memory with otg to your phone). install rom dev pejmimx. install your favorite custome rom . install magisk and done .(donot install oxygen os because that is ported from one plus 6t and have much bugs) my suggest is crdroid rom

There are a lot of guides here that describe the things you want.
Some checkpoints:
-Unlock your bootloader and install twrp (all personal data will be deleted)
-make a backup of your phone (when you backup check all partitions and images). This is your original system in case you want to go back. There's no particular reason to get more.
-install a custom ROM (crdroid that was suggested above is great imho) FOLLOW THE ROM'S INSTALLING INSTRUCTIONS TO THE COMMA.
-install nano-gapps and above if you want face unlock (pico and micro won't have it)
-flash magisk if you want root (don't forget to install magisk apk after flashing it)
-last but not least regardless of what's mentioned anywhere use official twrp and DON'T flash encryption disabler. It's just going to make your life harder without any benefits whatsoever.
Thank you, very helpful and assuring!
One more thing though - I often use dual boot of some apps. This is a Xiaomi-only feature; Does that mean with a different ROM (but for a Xiaomi device) I will lose this possibility?
I mainly just want to get rid of the MIUI ballast that interferes with the clean Android, so if there is a possibility to keep the ROM and delete MIUI, it would be maybe even better (?)
Hey guys, I know this is a vague question but I am facing problems after problems trying to install a single custom rom.
The Problem:
I have installed many custom roms over the years in A only partition devices. But ever since the introduction of A/B partition, those old guides are not proving useful and steps have become way too complicated. This is my first A/B device so I am somewhat of a noob here
My situation:
I have a Redmi Note 10 (sunny/mojito) (RKGINXM 12.5.6)
Bootloader is unlocked
Booted latest official Twrp (3.6.1 mojito) via the following commands fastboot boot twrp.img
I would like to install pixel experience so could anyone give a somewhat simplified guide. Would be greatly appreciated. Thank You

ths might help
check once bro
don't know why peeps are struggling a lot while installing custom roms... i learned at the first time it's very easy.
PE recovery is recommended for flashing roms and a MicroSD Card...
1) Flash PE Recovery fastboot flash boot recovery.img
2) Flash MIUI 13 FW
3) Reboot to Recovery
4) Format Data
5) Flash ROM
6) Reboot and done
For flashing latest Pixel Experience you need to flash MIUI 13.0.5 FW (it's developer instruction if you want to skip it don't complain for bugs later)

It did work thanks. But this is only useful as far as we opt for PE. Could you tell for other ROMs as well
