OTA Official Updates - Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers

Guys I have a rooted Redmi note 4 with TWRP recovery. I'm on developer beta ROM running dev v7.6.22 and I just got an update to v7.6.29 with 84 mb. I'm unable to update it via TWRP. It's saying that the updating process ended with an error. So no way to update.... we've to wait for full ROM update (like 1.5gb) to jump to the new version.
Or do u guys have any suggestions??

Its occurred because of the TWRP Recovery. You can flash Stock Recovery or u Have to download full update package.

You have to be stock to install the OTA update. If you want to wait, I am sure there will be a flashable zip of the stock ROM in the Developer forum.

Is it likely that this flashable zip will also include any kernel and radio updates that the OTA update has?

You can update the firmware now as it has been posted already to get the new radio. Kernel is part of the ROM and/or a flashable Zip.

My rule of thumb is if it ain't broken don't fix it. But won't hurt anything to flash it. If you don't think you need it then don't bother.

To flash the latest version of CM, be sureto have updated your phone officially to Stock Marshmallow. If not latest CM will not flash. You an error.
I'm guessing your phone is Indian version? Anyways go to the huawei website of your country. Download the marshmallow software file there and upgrade it through force update like i recommended here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/help/gr5-help-t3443573
I think you should go into your current custom recovery first and wipe data/factory reset. So u don't get bootloop as a result of CM files being on board currently.
The firmware in the link above is not for your country/device but for Egypt KII-L21CUST185.
So get the correct file for your device for your country's huawei website as mentioned above.
After flashing successfully, you have to flash custom recovery, again. Remember the whole 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img' process then flash SuperSU in custom recovery to root? Yeah do that.
Now you can flash latest CM build again. Cheers!
Note: If your country doesn't have marshmallow (6.0.1) available, don't bother with the process as latest CM build will not flash.

Unable to install oxygen os updates

Hello guys,
So recently i installed hydrogen os rom on my oneplus x and its super awesome but when i heard of 2.2.2 update, i thought of switching to oxygen os. I restored my Twrp backup of Oxygen 2.1.x stock rom(non rooted backup and evrything stock), and when i install any update on 2.1.x, it fails. Please suggest anything on how to install 2.2.2 version of oxygen os..!!
I had the same problem. You need to get the flashable 2.2.2 zip version and dirty flash. When your completely stock it won't let you update unless you have stock recovery.

No you will still have twrp. If you want stock recovery you can flash via adb or app like flashify (root required).

how to update miui with unlocked BL and custom recovery?

there's a new OTA update available but i can't seem to update via custom recovery
You can't update via ota if you have a custom recovery. You'll have to download full custom recovery Rom(1.8 gb) and flash it via twrp.
The update your talking about is 10.0.3.7 isnt it?

there are modified TWRP version in xda which supports OTA updates, try with those!
or as told above download full rom 1.8gb and flash it via twrp!
on saperate note,
always download full ROM and flash it because you may never know if OTA gets failed to flash and /or you have device booting in to fastboot Bot.
I always download FULL ROM (both Recovery(1.8gb) and Fastboot2.8gb
