Note 4 Global Qulacomm TWRP? - Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers

A lot of the guides I see are for the MTK version, is there a guide to root and install TWRP on the Qualcomm Global version?
I have unlocked the bootloader ok.
Thanks!

Thanks a lot. Do you lose the OTA updates if you install TWRP and root?
Can i just root on top of the existing global ROM I have?

I know how to...I have unlocked bootloader and flashed recovery in nexus 4, 5, 5x, 6p, opo, op2, and now opx...but twrp won't flash on this device for me.

It should be the same routine for the OPX as all of those devices then.
Just to be sure, you're doing it this way (step 5)?
Make sure that your bootloader is unlocked first, or it won't flash (step 2).
Also, make sure that when you use the command "fastboot flash recovery xxx.img" that "xxx.img" is identical to the name of the img file you have placed in your sdk tools folder.

Should be...key word. Guys I've tried it over and over again. All different ways to boot recovery after...different places downloading the file...different way installing (fastboot and flashify).
Only weird thing is that "fastboot oem device-info"
Says tampered is false
Unlocked is true
Does just unlocking bootloader usually trip the tampered flag?
So you're sure that you've enabled OEM unlocking in the developer options??

yes of course...Ive been through the process with the op2.
all drivers installed correctly, got rsa key, unlocked bootloader...one thing is that the confirmation bootloader unlocking screen was in chinese, but I chose the top option to confirm.
Same Issue
I'm having the exact same problem and would love to know a fix as well. My device is also unlocked by the tamper flag was not set off. I'm having the same problem of not being able to load TWRP onto the phone as well.
im guessing maybe because there isnt an official twrp for this phone.
There is only a custom and I know the internals are the same, but I think there are some kind of differences from phone to phone from region to region.

Hello,
I believe there is an official twrp. I did a search and found that you were already involved in that thread by @CafeKampuchia using the TWRP (onyx version) by @h2064
That was the initial recovery I had before I flash to the f2fs version by @eng.stk.

If you look here, there is no official TWRP for OPX yet, just for OPO & OP2.

Redmi Note 3 Pro - Snapdragon (From China To Global)

Hello.
I just got my phone. I've imported the phone from China, so it's running Chinese ROM.
ROM is: MIUI V7.2,2.20.LHOCNDA
Now there is no Play Store.. I had Nexuses, OnePlus, M8, S6 edge.. And many other Android phones. I've rooted all of them. I am familiar with ADB, I know how to unlock bootloader on Nexus, OnePlus..
I've read trough the Redmi Note 3 PRO forum, and I see there can be problems with unofficial unlock. So I just applied for the official Unlock...
So can I flash the Global ROM with locked bootloader? If yes, how?
Can I root the Global ROM after the flash? If yes, how?
Can I unlock the bootloader on Global ROM?
What is the difference with Global ROM and dev. ROM?
Is there any reliable unlock method besides the official one? I am getting confused reading all of the way's to do it.
Any answerer will be appreciated :good:

if you want Play Store and multi lang you need global rom, but again be carefull with flashing
i don't recommend unlocking but for that you need dev rom otherwise you will get this error "Couldn't verify device at 50%"

This guide explains how to flash stock MIUI roms. You have a few options for root. You could flash a global or China beta/dev ROM which have an in built root which can be enabled. You could unlock your bootloader and install TWRP then install superSU. Or you could just try an app like KingRoot if you trust it enough.

I've done it with the China dev/beta rom and that is what's recommended. It may be possible on the new global dev but I'm not sure and so can only recommend the China dev/beta. Once unlocked you'll stay unlocked so you can flash whatever you want straight away after. Just make sure to backup/sync any data first as everything will get wiped when using the SP flash tool.

It was a simple and normal question. I don't bully you or anyone else here. It's better if i ask you before you brick your phone or something. But anyway, it's your phone and your choice.
Global dev rom works, I unlocked mine early this week. You will need to fill in the form for permission from Xiaomi hxxp://en.miui.com/unlock and wait for an activation code for your Mi account before you start. You'll also need that account on your phone. It absolutely will not work on Global Stable, trust me, I tried!
The Global Dev rom doesn't have root enabled, so you'll also have to install TWRP (from cofface) there is a good guide in this forum somewhere, then flash SuperSu from there. (the official version works just fine)

Thanks for confirming, I unlocked using the china dev rom and enabled the built-in root. I could then use flashfire to install cofface's TWRP recovery and did a wipe in TWRP to start afresh without root.

Bootloader can even be unlocked on Global stable now. Just did it successfully on 8.1.2.0. Next TWRP can be flashed via fastboot and last SuperSU in TWRP. All done.

No reason why it should not work on 8.1.3.0. Just look for the bootloader check in developer settings. If it's there and you can link your account you should be good to go. Always worth a try...
Latest Supersu is always available on Chainfire's website download.chainfire.eu. Flash via TWRP. It's not specific to A ROM or device.

A few questions about rooting an unlocking the g2 mini

How do i know if the phones bootloader is locked or unlocked? Im using a lg d618. Any tips on the quickest way to install twrp? I read that its best to root then use flashify to put Twrp on the phone.

Allright.
A Phone always comes with a locked bootloader so if you don't unlocked it yourself it is still locked.
To flash twrp you will need a unlocked bootloader and to unlock a bootloader you need rootacess.
I used the app rlashr to flash twrp and boot in recovery. Don't forget to type 'su' in a terminal before you use it (at the guide how to unlock a bootloader)
This guide tells you how to do everything:
(Follow these steps: root -> bootloader-> recovery(twrp))
