TWRP Flashable MIUI? - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers

Is there way to flash MIUI 8 (lastest version would be best) with TWRP,without locking my bootloader and having to flash fastboot ROM?

Same question here. I have ZCX TWRP. Never tried to flash MIUI through it though.

Yeah, you can flash official miui through ZCX twrp...in rare cases can relock bootloader, but you can just unlock it via fastboot and .miunlock.
The latest global dev didnt loxk for me...although I suggest xiaomj.eu roms, they are same china dev base and optimised. I flashed latest global dev 21.3 just yesterday and tbere were lagg present and a bit more heating..now on xiaomi.eu alit more smooth and no lagg in chrome...

I dont want to risk hardbrick. I found one where I modify boot.img and delete some files from official ROM

No harbrick man... I tested many times... With ZCX you can flash any miui rom, it will only get locked if you were preivously on firmware from LP, or didnt unlock before. If it gets licked, you can unlock it in a minute through fastboot.
But I suggest you to flash xiaomi.eu rom, which is same as official miui dev and it never locks BL.

Need help in Flashing

Hello,
I just bought Redmi Note 3(Kenzo) after selling My Moto G3 Turbo. I have got permission from the MI for unlocking bootloader first day itself.
But I went through some forum link and im confused on the procedure to unlock bootloader and flash custom recovery and ROMS.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/guide-redmi-note-3-available-twrps-t3406708 Went through this and got more confused which TWRP should i Flash and all..
Could anyone please provide me the step by step procedure to unlock bootloader and flash custom roms like cm13, 14.. Please
I just use the standard TWRP for kenzo. I tried cofface and had a few issues with it being picky about the USB drive I was using. Many like using TWRP alka version since it can back up so many different things compared to the standard but the standard has worked for me in between moving MIUI 8 dev/stable, CM13, and CM 14.
I suggest zcx twrp, you can flash any ROM and backup all partitions.
Download MI UNLOCK tool once you get your permission to unlock.
Flash TWRP (Official or by dadi11) using fastboot.
Choose ROM and Flash it.
Thank You All.

Thanks for the reply.
I have got the permission and downloaded the flash tool. I am confused in flash CM 13 roms... I saw that we need to be on cm 13 or 14 firmware which is around 45-50mb.
So once i unlock the bootloader, do i need to flash anything else apart from TWRP to install custom roms or directly flash custom rom. Also can i go back to lollipop rom again from CM.

Yes, you do not need to install anything else I guess. Somehow going back to LP does not work. However, developer ROM works fine through fastboot.

Revert to Miui 8 from Cm14.1

Hello ppl,
I have unlocked the bootloader of my RN3 snapdragon version officially and i flashed the offical twrp on my phone.
Then i did a complete backup of the rom and then installed CM 14.1 (Santosh's build)
When i installed the rom,it relocked the bootloader and the fastboot mode now shows cyanogen logo instead of the mi logo.
The TWRP is working fine and i tried out both CM13 as well as 14.1.
i was on the miui 8(5.1) build and i tried to restore the EFS file to enable VOLTE on CM14.1 but no VOLTE is working as it was V5.1
I now have to revert back to MIUI8(6.0).How do i proceed?.
*I will flash the global MIUI8 developer rom using the TWRP?
*Restore the backup that i had done earlier with with official TWRP?
*Boot into eld mode(Cyanogen fastboot mode) and then use MiFlash and flash global developer MIUI version.
Please Help me with this.Need to get the VOLTE working fast and get back to MIUI.
First of all let me tell you that volte is broken and fluctuating in miui8 MM builds. Even though there are fixes but then you have to compromise fp scanner. So in my opinion flash xiaomi.eu rom 6.8.11 based on 5.1.1. But as per experience I have seen volte working in santhosh build. Just dont flash any firmware. And to revert back to miui8 LP just wipe partitions and remeber dat official MM roms are encrypted. Dont go there. Happy flash.

Didnt you unlock bootloader? If not then unlock it using mi flash tool, and check out roms from xiaomi.eu site not from miui.com, official site produce ****ty roms. They mess up data partition with encryption. Check out 6.8.11 based on 5.1 where VoLte works fine.

I have locked bootloader.Is it fine if i just flash the zip file using twrp
MiUnlock is not detecting the phone to unlock the bootloader.
Sorry for too many questions.Litte bit new to RN3 .It was easy to flash and do stuff with my old OnePlus One.
::And ill download the stable or weekly
I think you might lose IMEI/EFS if you downgrade from CM 14.1 to lolipop MIUI? Someone more knowledgeable can confirm.

download weekly, miunlock is not detecting? Hmm then may be it is due to windows drivers. If you are using x64 bit OS then you should tweak driver signature enforcement in windows. which twrp u are using? Use a twrp where you can backup efs, modem and other important partitions. alka, zcx are best twrps.

if you use edl then it doesnt matter whether its unlocked or locked. But edl mode needs to wipe everything all data in int storage.
Whats the update? Did it went well? I mean through edl mode using MiFlash.
Hey,
I also have a question. If I officially unlock my bootloader and some how it gets locked again then can I unlock it again officially?

You need to be officially unlocked to flash MIUI with TWRP as far as I know. With zxc TWRP. Otherwise you won't boot. Unless I'm missing something.
If you dont have PC currently to unlock BL again which will happen with official miui roms and with multirom...
You can flash miui EU latest version, it doesnt lock BL...
SOLVED
so..I downloaded miui 7.1.12 global dev.recovery rom (becos i was on global dev rom while rooting and i saw sowhere dat we cant flash from dev to stable thru recovery..we hav to flsh thru fastboot)...installed zcx recovery and flashed global dev recovery rom....nw i can flash ota also

Backing to MIUI from custom roms

I have now installed custom rom on my phone. I have a problem when turning into MIUI. I used the zcx recovery and flash the latest Global rom downloaded from the official website, then my phone becomes brick.
you unlocked officially or unofficially? i am pretty sure you unlocked unofficially

I haven't unlock, just flash the recovery using 9008 mode.
When back to miui you need flash miui firmware after flash rom.
1-flash rom or restore twrp nandroid miui
2-flash latest miui firmware
And Never flash oficial miui roms, can relock your bootloader or encrypt data partition.

Finally, I fixed the problem by flashing the repartition zip 1st, then flashing unoffical miui rom.

Outdated Bootloader is the main cause ur some custom roms are not booting.
If u unofficially unlocked device. Then u should nt use firmware emmc zip. Emmc is what upgrades ur bootloader.
So only thing u can do is flash latest fastboot global rom.
And unlock device.
