[HELP] Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro random freezing on boot - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers

Hi, my Redmi note 3 Pro was working just fine on MoKee rom but I wanted to change for LineageOS 14.1, so I did it. So I flashed the firmware to have the latest then flashed everything fine. My phone worked fine on LineageOS til I install adaway, my phone asked for a reboot and I had black screen after typing my Sim Card PIN. I did multiple fresh install, different rom, Stock and Custom, android N, always the same problem. I also tried different version of TWRP, still the black screen of death. I also tried ZCW_TWRP but it was still the same. I formatted partition manually using fastboot and still the same problem.
Then I did nothing different, Wipe of everything necessary using TWRP, installed LineageOS 14.1 and it worked just like this, totally random. Yesterday, I was trying to copy some music on my SD card when my phone froze in the middle of the process. Of course, I had to reboot it and now he is freezing on boot with this beautiful black screen of death just after I enter my Sim Card PIN.
I tried to flash the Radon Kernel to see if something was going to change but it stayed the same. I am thinking it is because of the firmware since I didn't have any problem before I flash it.
Pls guys tell me you have a solution. It seems like it's a random bug occuring for no obvious reason and disappearing like if nothing just happened.
Thanks you all for reading and I hope you'll have some solutions for me

No, it's not. If the solution was that simple, I wouldn't be asking there. I tried booting it without any Sim card and the result was the exact same.

I flashed the firmware of the miui_HMNote3ProGlobal_7.6.7. Found the Zip here on XDA. And this version is recommended for custom ROM which is my case. I tried to flash another version of the firmware but I still have the same issue anyway.

bro,the firmware you flashed is I think have some problems,I visited the page from where you downloaded this firmware on xda and a lot of people are having sim card problems. so,try contacting maintainer of that firmware to get solution.

I already flashed latest MIUI ROM in fastboot mode and the phone was still having the same issue. Black screen after I enter my Pin code or after 5 seconds of running, while starting android and everything.

"Unfortunately Setting Has Stopped" after factory reset

After factory resetting/reinstalling [Resurrection_Remix][Android 6.0.1, r_52][Kenzo], the "Unfortunately Setting Has Stopped" has started appearing whenever I try to access the Privacy setting to change the password/pin/pattern option. I also noticed that the Fingerprint scanner is no longer in the Privacy setting.
Under TWRP I have also tried wiping Dalvik / ART Cache, Data, Internal Storage, and Cache when reinstalling any other Custom ROMs and Gaap. The other custom ROMS I've installed are causing the Setting->Privacy option to crash also. All the searches I've made doesn't seem to fix the issue, particularly the searches in the Redmi section. Any suggestion would be helpful, thanks.

link to download radio.zip?
This situation happens when you switch to an OFFICIAL Rom from an UNOFFICIAL one like Mokee or RR from Siddhesh or Santosh. This is because these ROMs lock the bootloader and cause other problems too.
Radio.zip may not always fix the problem. If you are really stuck, there is a lengthy process that is guaranteed to work.
1. Flash one of the MiUI Fastboot ROM (global or chinese stable works fine) for RN3SD with Mi Flash tool. Use Flash All in the options at the bottom.
2. If you had an officially unlocked bootloader, use the Mi Unlocker tool to unlock your bootloader. Otherwise, you need to follow the unofficial unlock guide.
3. Flash official TWRP or a variant if you now what you are doing. Refer to this thread if you are not sure which TWRP will work.
3a. Download and copy this file to internal storage - LazyFlasher. I have verified this file to work with MiUI7 and MiUI8 global.
3b Reboot the phone in fastboot mode. On your PC, copy the TWRP img file to the adb directory and open command window there. Rename it to recovery.img. Use this command
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
3c Boot into recovery (using ADB or Vol-pwr button shortcut). DO NOT BOOT into the phone before you do this. Flash the Lazyflasher zip with TWRP. You could probably flash this using fastboot too, I just never tried it.
Dhanajay made a guide video here. The video is a little outdated, and the updated instructions are in the description and comments.
You phone is now rooted and you have TWRP. Happy flashing.
This method will soon be outdated as a graphical UI for ADB is already in progress. Others have done it before, but this one shows real promise. Check here for details.
It has been a few months now since the RN3SD launch and the time has come when unofficial ROMs are no longer the best option around. Most Official ROMs, including the ones from RR and XOSP among others work great now and are incredbilby smooth and efficient. The war for the best kernel is now starting, and custom kernels will be responsible for the next round of reasons for bricked phones. Be VERY careful when you are flashing a ROM with a custom kernel. Be prepared to do some legwork if things go wrong.

Seems to be down. Normally works. Give it some time.
But if you are moving from an unofficial ROM, flashing radios alone is unlikely to work. Radio zip fix is for undetected SIM and IMIE errors. Check your IMIE number in About Phone. If you are showing an IMIE number instead of '0', flashing radio may be pointless.

Link is from August 8th. That **** has mirrored a hundred times by now.
Also, the problem is now tackled in a different way. If you're facing a similar issue, ask in the rom thread you are trying to flash.
If you are facing this problem now, just flash the correct CM firmware.
P.S. On XDA, please do not question why someone posted a link or method that did not work for you. Do your research. No one is obligated to solve your problems.
Flashed radio. Zip. Worked for me.

Problem with TWRP

EDIT: The problem is fixed, the problem was my dead SD card, as soon as I took it out and boot into TWRP the recovery has been working well. Thank you all for your help anyways.
What's going on guys, today I'm in need of some aid. Couple days ago I was trying to swap ROMs from PsyRom to FlyMeOS and when I tried to access TWRP recovery, it would get stuck on the TeamWin logo. I softbricked my phone by restoring the stock recovery and kernel (lol) and flashed the latest Fastboot ROM. Now I'm fine with MIUI8, and I flashed TRWP again (with Fastboot flash) but everytime I try to access TRWP it gives me that stuck logo or a black screen. I don't know what to do because I already tried with a rooted Dev ROM and flashify and even the TWRP Manager but I can't get anywhere. Do you know what I can do?
I've seen several TWRP versions for RN2.
Did you try with the official one?

Yes I did, and with the 2.8.7, and the other 3.0.x
Always the same result. Did Xiaomi lock the Redmi Note 2 bootloader?

AFAIK the bootloader is not locked.
Otherwise I think that you can't even install TWRP.
I any case, I would try with an older fastboot ROM and with the official TWRP.

I have no problem with it (MIUI8). To be honest, I don't think any of them should cause the problem that you are having. Trying to solve the problem without identifying the cause will probably prove unfruitful. How did you install the first one that you had problems with? Did it ever work at all? If so, when did it start malfunctioning?

Yes it used to work, I already tried a lot of ROMs, I had the one compatible with Android 6.0 which I flashed with TWRP itself (It worked since I flashed CM13 with it).
I don't really know when it started malfunctioning because the last time I made a backup was at least one month ago when I swapped to PsyRom (it was functioning well). But two days ago when I tried to access it to change to FlyMe it wouldn't work. Anyways I'm flashing a MIUI7 fastboot ROM to see if it works.
I'm sorry if I can't explain myself very well but I'm doing the best I can lol. Thank you for your help too.
Perhaps something messed up your file system or partitions. If all attempts don't work, then you might want to use the SP Flash Tool to flash a compatible ROM and working TWRP.

I should have a MIUI7 on my mega account, it should be the last 7 stable, saved just in case something was wrong with 8.
I can send you the link if you are still searching.
OK, I just noticed that you have solved yet.
Good, I hope that this time everything will be fine.

Hello, after one month the issue is still not fixed, the recovery still hangs. Perhaps you could send me that fastboot rom you talked about please? Thank you.
I'm going to send you the link.
In the meanwhile...reading the thread again...what is "update.zip method"?
Are you try to install TWRP from Mi recovery?
This is not going to work anymore.
You should better stay with the last ROM and flash TWRP from fastboot.
This is the recovery image: https://dl.twrp.me/hermes/twrp-3.0.2-0-hermes.img
This is the guide: https://twrp.me/devices/xiaomiredminote2.html
Just start your RN2 into fastboot (vol down+power on), run fastboot flash recovery twrp.img and finally keep pressed vol up and send fastboot reboot and wait with the key pressed until it enter TWRP.
BTW:
in the official forum there should be a thread with link to all officially released ROMs for RN2.

The problem is I already tried the fastboot method as well, and the problem is always the same, stuck TWRP logo. Even if it was a partition problem, flashing the fastboot ROM should fix it, but it didn't. I tried the SP Flash Tools method too, and the flashing methods are successful, they all Flash TWRP, but when I try to access it it's stuck. I don't know why this is happening, it used to work.
@kiko9895 Sounds like you have screwed your partitions. You will need to load a full ROM using SP Tools to correct it as this is the only way to set the partitions back at their correct memory locations. Fastboot and Recovery rewrite the partitions by name not memory location so any fault in that will never be fixed. If you have flashed an Android 6.0 based ROM or something intended for another model phone, this will definitely be the case. Anyone flashing custom ROMs should first gather the skills and tools to recover from disasters - luckily, MTK based phones are virtually unbrickable!
As far as the "official" TWRP goes, it is not official and not a good version. It is just someone who has used the TWRP build server to knock out a random version. How does that make it "official"?

Ahah I have the skills and the tools, I've been flashing ROMs for more than two years. This never happened before. If you read what I said before on this thread, you'll see that I already flashed a new ROM through SP Flash Tools. And yes I flashed a 6.0 rom before so that must be the problem, but since I already flashed a fastboot rom through SP Flash Tools I can't see where the problem is. The partitions should be fixed by now but that isn't the case.
@kiko9895 Sorry if it sounded like I was coming down hard on you. You should only need to flash a matching preloader, uboot, logo plus TWRP recovery using SP Flash Tools with the correct scatter file to get back into booting to TWRP. Any other problems can be sorted from there.
I will attach a known good scatter file because I know there are several floating around that will reverse one or two partitions on you (such as the RN3 version)

[Solved] Need help! Please! Awkward bootloop probelm! Please help!

So I am fond of flashing custom ROMs and stuff on my mido and I carry knowledge about what I'm doing. Day before yesterday I was flashing Oreo 8.1 ROMs via TWRP. Accidentally I deleted everything in "/" folder (I suppose its called root folder idk). Terminal gave output saying something like rm -rf i don't recall exactly .. i thought i didn't mess up so i went forward flashing AEX 5.1 Beta ROM. The ROM booted perfectly but only issue I got was No WiFi and data signals... I thought i messed up with firmware so i went ahead and flashed sock ROM via MI FLASH. It flashed successfully but when my device rebooted I started setting it up until it started rebooting again and again... It's not normal boot-loop... i am getting past Mi logo and even able to go through setup wizard but unable to complete it... when i start setting device up it freezes and then restarts and that's it!
what i have tried:
1) Flashing in EDL mode
2) Flashing TWRP/ RedWolf recovery and formatting data
3) Flashing Custom ROM (The issue persisits the device boots succesfully the reboots)
4) Tried flashing via QFIL but cant seem to make it work (fh_loader stops working)
Is it software issue or hardware? It must be software right? or else phone wouldnot have booted successfully
P.S: Under Device Info it shows MAC as 20:00:00:00:00:00 and WiFi wont turn on, same with Bluetooth (Mobile signals work perfectly)
I think i messed up with partitions someone PLEASE HELP!

you actually messed up your device bad. basically the '/' directory has folders containing files which the linux os requires. there are dev scripts which perform the backend tasks, and if they all are deleted, well sorry to say, the device then is just an expensive paperweight. not sure how you are still able to boot. Basically rm -rf command deletes all the writable partitions of android. maybe the device is booting up on the support of blobs. but there are very little chances to get back normal. sorry but unable to help

Hey, I got it working up and fine. What actually helped was flashing the stock rom with QFIL tool. The device booted up successfully and right now I'm writing this with my mido only ? All the partitions have been recovered successfully and WiFi and Bluetooth are up and running too! The only issue is that QFIL wiped my IMEI. I'm sure there must be some way to write IMEI back. If you know you may help too ?

Hey, sorry for late I'm here now! Listen, I followed the same procedure as mentioned in Mi forum. I got the same error! It might say that fh_loader stopped working right? The solution was to flash stock miui rom. By stock I mean out of the box rom i.e. V8.1.10.0.MCFMIDI which you can find here: http://bigota.d.miui.com/V8.1.10.0....DI_20161228.0000.00_6.0_global_7557bfe334.tgz
Download the above linked ROM and flash it via QFIL (Run as administrator) and you should be good to go! I hope it works out! If you face any problem then keep me posted All the best!

my phone keeps rebooting
addymishra said:
So I am fond of flashing custom ROMs and stuff on my mido and I carry knowledge about what I'm doing. Day before yesterday I was flashing Oreo 8.1 ROMs via TWRP. Accidentally I deleted everything in "/" folder (I suppose its called root folder idk). Terminal gave output saying something like rm -rf i don't recall exactly .. i thought i didn't mess up so i went forward flashing AEX 5.1 Beta ROM. The ROM booted perfectly but only issue I got was No WiFi and data signals... I thought i messed up with firmware so i went ahead and flashed sock ROM via MI FLASH. It flashed successfully but when my device rebooted I started setting it up until it started rebooting again and again... It's not normal boot-loop... i am getting past Mi logo and even able to go through setup wizard but unable to complete it... when i start setting device up it freezes and then restarts and that's it!
what i have tried:
1) Flashing in EDL mode
2) Flashing TWRP/ RedWolf recovery and formatting data
3) Flashing Custom ROM (The issue persisits the device boots succesfully the reboots)
4) Tried flashing via QFIL but cant seem to make it work (fh_loader stops working)
Is it software issue or hardware? It must be software right? or else phone wouldnot have booted successfully
P.S: Under Device Info it shows MAC as 20:00:00:00:00:00 and WiFi wont turn on, same with Bluetooth (Mobile signals work perfectly)
I think i messed up with partitions someone PLEASE HELP!

Hey, I got it working up and fine. What actually helped was flashing the stock rom with QFIL tool. The device booted up successfully and right now I'm writing this with my mido only All the partitions have been recovered successfully and WiFi and Bluetooth are up and running too! The only issue is that QFIL wiped my IMEI. I'm sure there must be some way to write IMEI back. If you know you may help too

hey guyz i have the same problem , please help me i tried all written in the replies but faces the same problem in the QFIL.
please reply, i'm dead :"(

Phone reboots and is stuck in a bootloop afterwards no matter what rom/kernel.

I'm left clueless here. I just can't get it to boot, no matter what ROM/Kernel i'd flash. It was originally running OOS 2.3.1 but flashing it now won't work anymore. It worked briefly for 1 hour with that AOSP 8.1 but then after trying to flash gapps it stuck again in a bootloop. Sometimes it also freezes and reboots while i am flashing sometimes. I really have no idea what should i do next, hope you can help me.
You need to give more information on which TWRP you have.
Did you upgrade the bootloader at one point ?
OOS 2 is the old one.
You should have upgraded to MM bootloader and the use a TWRP compatible.
If not, you'll have to follow the Mega Unbrick Guide...

I updated the bootloader like over a year ago or so. I also tried 2 different versions of TWRP, now i am using the latest one.
ALSO, very sorry it actually is OOS 3.1.4, not 2.3.1, i just typed briefly what i could remember, i haven't been using this phone for months now but i would like to give it to a relative so there's that. Hope you can help me out, i have no clue why is it acting up like that.
Have you ever think that could be the emmc problem that need to get replaced?
Our phone is old enough...
(just my thoughts btw)
Try to flash official ROM after having wiped everything

You didn't mentionned you wiped everything : System, data, cache, Internal...
Then usb mount to pussh OOS 3 and flash

I don't really understand what you are trying to say. I did wipe everything and the only way to flash anything is through adb sideload anyway since the device is not recognized as storage while in TWRP. I think I am gonna give up on it, I was gonna sell it but I can't risk having it act up days/weeks after i sold it.

Problems with notifications on every AOSP rom.

Tried almost all pie roms. Wifi disconnects after a while i lock the phone. Or it won't use data even if it seems to be connected to wifi. Changing fw, kernel, recovery didn't work. Neither did flashing fastboot rom. What should i do? (i thought notification was the problem ,but no, i figured it was wifi)
Kaanarchy said:
I don't get notifications after 10-15 mins after i closed that application. (For example i'm starting whatsapp then i'm closing it again. After some minutes i won't get any notifications and whatsapp will not use data if i don't open it manaully.) And sometimes notifications will come, but so late. Every settings is ok. Tried havoc, aosp extended, crdroid, superior it is still same. Changed kernel, updated firmware, it is still the same. What can i do? I feel like my phone is forcing me to use miui roms
TWRP = 3.2.3-1 unofficial

the link has given me by a rom tester for redmi 5 plus on youtube. he said he didn't have problems too. I know 2 person using this and they don't have problems. But anyway i will try another one thanks. And also can it be related with gapps? i always flash nano and i always download my applications with google backup. But i tried to delete some apps and download them manually and that didn't work too.

if you are using treble rom then use orangefox if not use official twrp
i tried orangefox with havoc and xenon, still same problem..
Maybe a firmware update?
Like this fw_vince_miui_HM5PlusGlobal_8.11.15_dd40bfa136_8.1

i tried 3-4 firmwares and that didn't work (new ones). Now I changed my recovery to red wolf and gapps nano to bitgapps. let's see if it works.. If it won't, i will try older firmwares.
it's still happening. I lock the screen and everything is ok for 10-15 min. But after that apps doesn't use data anymore so there is no notifications too. If i start something requires internet connection like google chrome, they will come. Pls someone help :/ i checked every settings
