HI! I am using the redmi note 3 snapdragon variant,and i have unlocked my bootloader unofficially and curretly using cm13 rom.
I want to swith back to stock miui rom,i.e miui 8 ,bt i read that directly flashing the rom will relock my bootloader and brick my phone.I have lazy patcher and twrp installed in my phone.How to switch back to stock rom without relocking my bootloader since root access is very imp. for me.
Thank you.
Official unlock is better than unofficial unlock.. Try to flash latest global stable via MiFlash, and unlock it.. If 50% error appear, try to flash global beta and then unlock again..

Hi, according to this thread
Cofface is not recommended for unofficial unlocked bootloader
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67505475&postcount=2
Yet cofface is required for flashing to marshmallow roms. So can I get some confirmation here if it can be used for unofficially unlocked bootloader?

you may want to use the "safe twrp" version. its a variant of coface which ensures you dont flash the emmc file. however since you have CM13 which has its own firmware files.. i think you should go the EDL method and use the patched emmc file. refer this http://en.miui.com/thread-253680-1-1.html

And that's also from the same thread I just posted
His instruction is just a bit conflicted
Bootloader Unlocked UNOFFICIALLY via Mi Flash Tool
1. Rooting MIUI ROM
• Flash Safe TWRP v2 & Backup Current ROM
• Flash SuperSU Zip & Reboot To System
2. Flashing MIUI Lollipop Recovery ROM
• Flash Safe TWRP v2 & Backup Current ROM
• Factory Reset & Flash MIUI Recovery ROM Zip
• Flash Universal Boot Image Patcher Zip & Reboot To System
3. Flashing MIUI Marshmallow Recovery ROM
• Flash Cofface TWRP & Backup Current ROM
• Factory Reset & Flash MIUI Recovery ROM Zip
• Flash Boot Img Patcher & Reboot To System

Yet he also mentions
Cofface TWRP : Google Drive Link
• Based on Official TWRP 3.0.0-0
• Patches boot.img automatically, no need to flash UBP Zip after flashing MIUI Recovery ROM Zip.
• Users with official unlocked bootloader can use this TWRP tp flash custom ROMs as well MIUI ROM Zips.
• Users with unofficial unlocked bootloader should strictly not use this TWRP for flashing MIUI Recovery ROM Zip.

Un-Official Unlocked Bootloader Users should use:
Official TWRP : If they plan on staying only on custom ROMs.
Safe TWRP v2 : If they plan on flashing MIUI ROMs as well as custom ROMs

I'd appreciate if anyone can clarify if marshmallow MIUI rom for redmi note 3 can be flashed with safe twrp or cofface twrp for unofficial unlock bootloader.

Hi, if I used the EDL met...ked bootloader or it will get relocked again?

Indeed it is very confusing with various twrp's around..I wish there was only one CWM or TWRP which could flash any rom..
TBH I have also officially unlocked BL, but looking @ various threads daily I am yet to flash TWRP..
It's very confusing & afraid that I would brick my device..:crying:

Hi, if I used the EDL method and flash the miui v8 fastboot files (with the emmc patch file)

There is a MM specific emmc file (patched)..look for that on miui forums and follow the steps . I can send you the link later. It will still be unlocked since you are using a patched file. But u will lose your recovery since you are flashing everything stock. So you got to flash safe twrp again after flashing the rom through fastboot. It's just like flashing the LL rom but with a different emmc file.
Alternatively you could use safe twrp as well but I am not 100℅ confident since MM has different firmware/ partitions so I dont know if it will work or not. There are too many users reporting various issues such as bootloop, no sim detection etc etc.
If any experienced user can write a detailed guide for upgrading from miui LL to MM on unofficial unlock using safe twrp, that will be great. Until then use EDL (but backup ALL partitions using Alka twrp before you start)

Hi, so I take the it steps are similar to edl method you posted earlier except that I have to replace the emmc patched files with mm version instead and start flashing the MM miui v8 rom.
I'd appreciate if you could share the link since I'm not sure where to find it.

Does anyone have tutorial to reflash miui ? im using custom rom epicrom (miui based) but i want using miui again but i dont know how to flash miui at twrp
or should i use custom rom flash method for flashing miui? and do i need lazyflasher?
Hi,
Go to miui web en.Miui . Com, on the top click to download, select your device, then version (global, china, mtk),then click to flashing guide and select fastboot update.
Download a rom you want (stable or weekly) for your device.
Download miui flashing app on the same link.
Extract the rom you have download, the extract extracted file again and you will get a lot of files. Then follow step 3 and the rest of manual.

Its as same as installing any other custom rom, so firstly head over to http://en.miui.com/download.html
and from there get the build you want. If possible keep it on an external storage media, since you may need to format data.
Please note that if you are coming from LOS/ AOSP based roms, you have to format data, and clean wipe your device, and everytime you flash dont forget to flash the lazy flasher also.
Im looking for it because I flash my phone phone with the newest Version global beta 8.8.2. The main problem is the recovery got changed to stock recovery. All I want for china dev rom is that it has a root privelege. I can't root and flash recovery because I don't have PC now. Please enlighten me. I can't enjoy this miui 10 rom without root. (Specially the headset icon bug) I want to fix it.
You must have PC in order to flash twrp recovery first time?
Without it you can't flash agni kernel to headphone icon fix

But I need an official Miui rom so I can flash it thru the Updater app. My recovery got back to stock recovery that's why I can't flash other custom roms. I should've flashed the eu rom first.
Well,China developer ROM is on here http://www.miui.com/zt/miuirom/download.php
But,you can't use the update app to flash China developer ROM. You can just use twrp or fastboot to flash
Fastboot flash

Hello, I have one big problem with my mate 10 lite
The problem is, when i flash twrp everything is okay, but when i try to flash any custom rom - I always have bootloop, on every custom :/
I tried to use eRecovery to install stock but it ends in the same way - bootloop
What can I do?
I really wanted to switch for custom...
Try using 338 stock rom and then install custom rom.

You can install other custom ROMs even if you are already on a custom ROM. The thing is all steps indicated
in custom ROM threads, ask you to wipe, and format so already they are cleaning necessary things, before actual
installation (flashing) step starts. But the cleaning is not like a proper clean i.e. done by stock recovery, so if you want
to install a new custom ROM, its better to first install Stock recovery, then wipe/format, then install TWRP, and proceed
with new Custom ROM installation.
If any thing does not work for you, then install ur stock ROM, and then install the new custom ROM ur interested in.

I reckon you must have missed some step, as I did tried most of the ROMs shared in this mate 10 lite
section of XDA forums. Specially the part after installation which says to flash Stock recovery n give it a wipe/format that makes the ROM installation proper, later you can install custom recovery.
For stock ROM, HuruUpdater works with TWRP, try one version of HuruUpdater, if it does not work change your
custom recovery to some other custom recovery (other TWRP, you will find many in this forum), and eventually
one of them will work for u. Still, it doesnt work, change the HuruUpdater version to an earlier version, and repeat
the process.

There is no best recovery that will work in every possible situation (e.g. Stock ROM flashing, Custom ROM flashing, backup/restore etc.). So for each custom ROM u better use the recovery that is indicated in that custom ROM thread.
Hi everyone, I want install a new custom ROM (I'm on CrDroid 7.6 on Android 11) but I can't boot into recovery. I tried to flash a new recovery but i get this message from fastboot "(remote: '(recovery_b) No such partition')".
I've always installed custom OS using a custom recovery but it seems that that there is no recovery partition on Android 11 ?
Do I have to flash the boot partition with the custom rom .zip directly ?

You need to:
1. root
2. flash custom recovery
3. flash rom
To flash the recovery you use "fastboot flash boot recovery.img" ?
Do I need to flash both partition ?

This phone have a/b partion system. The recovery partition is present or phone will not boot. Install a rom via fastboot is possible but it's not safe. In every custom rom thread you can find los recovery and how to install procedure. Read with accuracy. Open the section kernel and custom rom. I suggest you pixel experience
Thank you ! The PixelExperience thread got a nice procedure on how to flash it.
I'll try to flash this ROM tomorrow to test it.
If this is successful I'll try other ROM without Gapp included and with official release, any suggestion ?

Yeah nezuko and corvus seems pretty good, I would rather use a popular ROM like lineage but those ROM looks very promising
Corvus is fantastic... With some optimization made with root... In my opinion is the best at now. For performance, stability and systemUI
