Hello!
I apologize in advance for being a noobie at this.
I'm currently running LOS 14 - 2017 05 03, and want to switch to Umang96's custom LOS. I've read I need to flash a new MIUI Firmware, but I have some questions before I do all this.
Do I have to flash the firmware before I flash the new ROM ? Or can they be flashed together ?
Do I have to wipe anything else than the usual before flashing ?
Will the bootloader lock again after I flash the new MIUI Firmware ? (I've currently unlocked it the official way)
Thanks in advance.
The "New MIUI firmware"=Developer version MIUI 7.5.4 firmware by The Strix for Redmi Note 3 Pro/Snapdragon in Official Lineage OS for Kenzo (google it).
To update firmware:
- Long+safe+cleanest method: Flash miui 7.5.4 fastboot rom (again, google it) for your device (kenzo/kate). Then, unlock officially.
- Quick method: Flash firmware.zip from 1st page of official lineage os thread for kenzo (WARNING: may cause bootloop for some users especially if you have no idea what you have done to your device).
Flash the firmware before flashing rom.zip. I have no idea what do you mean by flashing together. BTW you don't have to flash firmware when you update rom.
Wipe everything besides where you've stored your rom.zip (either internal storage or sd storage). I recommend using latest official twrp to prevent wiping important parts of your phone (some users are using unofficial twrps with option to wipe imei... just don't use it since you said you are a noobie)
Since you unlocked it officially, updating firmware shouldn't relock bootloader. There's a chance of relocking though (buggy MiFlash, flashing random firmwares from the internet and maybe other stuff)
If you have any future questions better post it in the thread than start a new Q&A thread. I don't think any users will spend time in the Q&A section. Umang's los discussion thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/unofficial-lineageos-substratum-radon-t3592853
Umang just started a new thread for his rom: https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/unofficial-lineageos-substratum-radon-t3592853

Thank you for your answer!
By "flashing together" I was refering to the TWRP's option to flash multiple zips together.
Also, I will refrain from making new threads in the future, thanks for the tip.
Again, thanks for the info you provided. Much appreciated.

Hi Devs,
I have tried to unlock bootloader [SD] by Mi Official method but got no success. :crying:
Always stuck at 50%.
I am wondering if the BL is unlocked via an unofficial way then can I flash AOSP based roms right away.
If yes, kindly suggest a way to unlock BL because I came across with so many threads each is somewhat different.
I have changed MIUI roms to try my luck say global -> global beta -> (soft brick) -> china beta.
Got confused, currently I am on China Dev Rom.
My Understanding till now ---
1. Unlock BL
2. FLash TWRP
3. Wipe All
4. Flash CM firmware -> Flash AOSP rom
5. Success...:silly:
Kindly guide if anyone had done this before.
i was having something similar to you.
i wanted to flash cyanogen roms but i didnt waited until i get the unlocker code from xiaomi.
i followed this tutorial
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/method-to-flash-twrp-recovery-unlock-t3473294
it makes you flash a dev/beta global miui rom (i suggest you 6.9.29) with a custom recovery (you delete the stock recovery and replace it with a custom one like aika recovery or zcx recovery). then use the app miflash (latest version support windows 32 &64 bit, olders ones only 64 bit) to flash the entire miui rom.
When you finished you will have a miui rom with custom twrp. Then you boot to recovery (dont let the phone boot to system) and twrp will overwrite stock recovery) then you reboot to system and there you go. You will have miui and a fully working custom recovery (there you can flash supersu, cyanogen roms, xposed, and every other zip you want)

I have gone through full thread. https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/method-to-flash-twrp-recovery-unlock-t3473294
For some it works, but no one has widely used it to flash custom kernal or rom. All again stayed on MiUI.
It seems that nobody is quite clear about how this stuff works because members have asked questions like
How would official TWRP boot on locked BL
Working of Custom kernals
Modified BLs
I am planning to flash Unofficial LineageOS 7.1.1 or RR.
kindly confirm If you did this on Kenzo itself with some custom kernal and rom.

I did it with Kate. The only difference is that i change "cm14 firmware" to put Kate módem (original cm14 firmware has kenzo modem).
You are missing drivers on PC thats why you are getting 50% error... Sign in i.mi and locate...install MiFlash on PC 64bit, win7+, if you are on china dev ->turn on usb debbugging-> boot in fastboot mode,use original cable run MiUnlock and unlock, it will work 100%. I have unlocked BL so many times on different computers...and it always worked...if done all right

Hi Denis, I have installed MIPcSuite. I think it contains all drivers for our device.
Further drivers from MIFlash tool are also present in my PC.
If you have a specific version kindly tell me.
Say ver of - MiFlash , China Dev or Global Dev , MiUnlock.
off course I am using Mi Cable shipped with device.
@BraianV - I have flashed Lineage. Votle Issues. :good:Hitted Thanks for help.
Hi people,
I downloaded few week ago the Cyanogenmod 14.1 (cm-14.1-20161225-NIGHTLY-kenzo) and I see that a linage version was release also (lineage-14.1-20170207-nightly-kenzo-signed.zip) So which one to choose ?
reassure me, both are coming without gapps ?
Did I should flash this firmware before ? https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/cm14-14-1-aosp-n-firmware-kenzo-kate-t3507789
Thank you.
LOS. CM is "dead".
Neither come with Google apps so you'll need to flash them if you want them.
You don't need to flash firmware if you're coming from the latest MIUI. It doesn't harm anything if you do though.
Thank you @theoneofgod :good:
did you have a page how describe how to install the liange os Trough TWRP ZCX ?
Thank's
You can flash TWRP using this method, it won't require you to unlock the bootloader either.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/method-to-flash-twrp-recovery-unlock-t3473294
From there, flash LOS.
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.

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?

Searching since yesterday and proceeding ahead is making me confused..
Few Procedures I understood some were confusing, here are my questions.
My Phone details: Check attached hardware details, image format too please.

Please guide on best option, after doing this bit work, I have many purchased apps (thanks to XDA TEAM and all contributors) which I shall try on phone..
If satisfied, or wanna try custom ROMs, I will make another question..
Thanks and appreciate the volutary hard work of this great community.
Regards,
Flash Twrp then Flash A Custom rom assuming you've unlocked bootloader to flash a custom rom then gapps then flash magisk
