Cannot Boot Custom ROMs Anymore. Just Bootloops - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers

Been using the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 (Kenzo) for a long time now and since the ROM was outdated, I decided to update it this past weekend. However for whatever reason, something broke and I've been getting bootloops. Since then, this is what I did and it still doesn't work.
Used MiFlash to fastboot flash MIUI v8.5.1.0 Global Stable, and then OTA updated to v8.5.2.0.
Test the phone to make sure all functions work properly.
Immediately officially unlocked the bootloader using Mi Unlock.
Fastboot flashed TWRP 3.1.1.0.
Made EFS and ROM backups as usual.
Clean flashed Resurrection Remix 5.7.4 (Radon kernel) with /data and /cache as F2FS.
Flashed Open Gapps 6.0 ARM64 Mini.
Right now, I'm back to running stock MIUI v8.5.1.0, which was flashed using MiFlash. Then I did the OTA update to MIUI v8.5.2.0. May someone please guide me or correct the above steps in order to install the linked Resurrection Remix ROM? Or maybe a Nougat ROM?

Try without f2fs. Use ext4

Flash LOS 13 which is far stable than the RR 5.7.4. You should've flashed another rom before moving back to MIUI. The process you followed is correct but you also need to flash the compatible firmware like for RR you need CM13 firmare and for LOS you'll the recommended firmware posted in the thread itself.

I went through some ROM threads and one recommended flashing MIUI8 Global DEVELOPER and not Global STABLE. Am I supposed to be using MIUI 8 Global DEVELOPER as the starting point?

The Resurrection Remix build I linked is based off of LineageOS 13 so it should be stable.
So you're saying I missed flashing a firmware? I see some ROMs recommend flashing the firmware, while others don't. Which is the proper firmware to flash if the ROM thread doesn't state which firmware to use?

The one on this thread. Second post.

well seems to be a new problem...
so what must be done... i will suggest to get latest miui fastboot rom from here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/links-direct-official-download-links-t3449488
flash it via mi flash tool (im running 64 bit os ,so using mi flash beta ) in edl mode by wiping full things including storage..
if your boot loader is unlocked official way it must be unlocked now also if not i guess you know how to unlock it officially.
then use official twrp from
www.twrp.me
i faced this issue once and did the exact steps above and now no problem..
by the way i tried things like unplugging battery from the board... lol... read in miui forum...

I've been having very similar issues (updated official firmware in a non officially unlocked bootloader).
It's been hell but I've managed to get los14.1 installed. Now my issue lies with constant gapps crashes. I'm thinking of just giving up and getting miui.

I've tried yesterdays version. Play store wouldn't even open. Dirty flashed 0625 play store opens but a lot of apps crash, everything works fine with 0303.
I'm flashing miui and I'm going to try the official bootloader unlock, but this have been a couple of strange days.

dirty flashing isn't a solution ... theres changes in trees of the rom and kernel..
anyway head back to miui unlocl officially and when coming back to custom rom do wipe everything and give it a shot..probably the crash may be due to over written or exiating files...
happy flashing
~peace

I should mention I clean flashed the ROMs. Updated OP.

Ok trying it again right now and so far, this is what I did:
Used MiFlash to fastboot flash MIUI v7.7.6 Global DEV.
Test the phone to make sure all functions work properly.
Tried to unlock bootloader using Mi Unlock but it said bootloader is already unlocked.
Boot into MIUI again.
Fastboot flashed TWRP 3.1.1.0.
No boot into MIUI.
Flash Kenzo firmware 8.2.4.0 in TWRP
Clean flash LineageOS 13 and Open Gapps 6.0 ARM64 Mini with /data and /cache in EXT4
IT WORKS!
I guess now I'll try Resurrection Remix.

How to port cyanogenmod for kenzo to kate devices

Hi guys, can anyone tell me how to do it? I have a kate device here, and I'm dying to have cyanogenmod installed on it. Wish there's a non-too-complicated way to get it done.
Update:
Official CyanogenMod 13 for Kenzo works well on Kate too! Everything seems good right now.
Hey can you please Dump your device with twrp and share it with us so we can try to unlock Band 20
Edit: i think banmeifyouwant did it the others way around. Guess you have to repartition your internal memory to have the Layout of kenzo. Also someone in miui Forum posted he has flashed kenzo fastboot to his Kate device but Radio is not working anymore.

Can you please advise where you got TWRP from? Without TWRP, there's no CM or even root for XMIUI and MIUI Tweaks.
Also looking for a compatible TWRP method for the Kate/prime version. Been scouring the net for hours but can't find anything concrete

Perhaps you could post more info. Which TWRP did you use and did you have to modify partition sizes, etc? Or was it as simple as flashing the firmware file and then the ROM itself?

Hi guys! I helped him to get this working. All things started with He didn't know that him device is Kate in first time and flashed Kenzo 7.1.8 Lollipop with modified emmc... in MiFlash to get unofficial bootloader unlock with fastboot oem unlock-go command. He got 5.1.1 Kenzo ROM working but without SIM Card detected due to flashed Kenzo modem. After it, he just flashed latest ALKA TWRP with all partitions support in fastboot and flashed latest CM nightly + GAPPS + CM13-Radios zip. It boots fine but with NO SIM Card detected too and unknown Baseband version. Don't worry. To solve it, just boot in fastboot and flash Kate modem from Kate MIUI Fastboot ROM and voila, fully working CM in Kate device! You guys with flashed TWRP can try to flash CM ROM without modify Partition sizes because CM use less space then MIUI and Kate partition sizes are same from Kenzo. Only system is bigger than Kenzo system but it works, prof of it is flashing Kenzo ROM in Kate with MiFlash don't give error like flashing Kate ROM in Kenzo.

Thanks for the info. What does flashing CM13-Radios.zip do? If we don't flash that, would it leave Kate's default modem active? Would we need to flash the Kate modem each time we install a new nightly? Having to connect the phone to the computer every time would be a pain.

You can try it. Download CM last nightly and copy to internal storage, unlock your bootloader officially, flash ALKA TWRP recovery, go to backup and select ENTIRE PARTITIONS and do a full backup of your phone then wipe SYSTEM + DATA + CACHE + DALVIK CACHE, flash CM13 + GAPPS and reboot. This will keep your modem and all firmware partitions save. If it don't work and you get bootloop, boot in ALKA TWRP again, click in RESTORE, UNCHECK ONLY FIRMWARE PARTITION and start the restore process. This will boot MIUI again. Then start the process again but now this time, flash CM13-Radios.zip after GAPPS flash and try to boot it. When it boot, restart in bootloader and flash Kate modem and you will get fully working ROM. Or you can replace non-hlos.bin with Kate on in CM13-Radios.zip before flash it.
And no, you don't need to flash Kate modem at each new nightly because CM ROM don't comes with Modem files in it. After you get fully working CM nightly, you will get all OTA's without need a PC connect.

Hy, please call us...how did you unlock the bootloader from your Kate? Offical or Unofficial?
Which TWRP do you use?
Which CM13 do you flash on your Kate? The official CM13 for Kenzo?
A little instructions would be so good...Thanks!
@andersonaragao would you suggest a forum for unofficial bootloader unlock please? I'm getting network dropouts and need to flash the modems but xiaomi can take up to 7 and a half years to send an unlock code

Unfortunately, to unlock bootloader unofficialy in Kate, you need to flash 5.1.1 MIUI ROM for Kenzo with modified bootloader. I think the better is stay with your stock ROM and wait more for unlock code.

Ok. Will do. A factory reset fixed the network issue so I can't live with that. Cheers
1. All Recoveries built for Kenzo will work without any issue on Kate as well, You can just stay with official TWRP or CM Recovery as you're pleased.
2. You can always flash the official rom back with MiFlash in EDL mode, if you happen to brick your phone.
Official ROM for Kate
Stable: http://bigota.d.miui.com/V7.3.9.0.M...DE_20160523.0000.23_6.0_global_f7170696d8.tgz
Developer: http://bigota.d.miui.com/6.8.25/kate_global_images_6.8.25_20160805.0000.29_6.0_global_195d892285.tgz
3. To install Official Cyanogenmod 13 for Kenzo on Kate (coming from MIUI), you would have to modify the build.prop and then flash the supported firmwares .zip file. One thing worth mentioning here is that, you must remove or replace NON-HLOS.bin found inside the .zip file, otherwise your phone wouldn't be able to detect the sim card. Still, you can flash only NON-HLOS.bin for Kate (from official rom) on fastboot later if you prefer to skip all the trouble modifying the firmwares .zip file. In my case, the only required files from the firmwares .zip for CM13 to run properly are just emmc_appsboot.mbn and file_contexts.

Can't get into 7.1xx ROMs

Hi,
I have been using Nexys Experience ROM and I am in love with it. However, recently I wanted to try a 7.1 ROM. I am officially bootloader unlocked and currently using twrp-3.0.M4-0
The problem I am facing, no matter how I try, I cannot boot any 7.1 ROM. I have tried RR, CM14.1 and their respective firmware but after flashing the ROMs never boot and stuck on bootlogo.
Possible Combinations I tried:
1) Flashed CM14.1 Firmware
2) Flashed CM14.1 ROM + Gapps
Result: Stuck on Bootlogo animation
1) Flashed CM14.1 ROM + Gapps
2) Flashed CM14.1 Firmware
Result: Stuck on Bootlogo animation
1) Flashed RR ROM + Gapps
2) Flashed CM14.1 Firmware
Result: Stuck on Bootlogo animation
I use f2fs on /data and /cache
Any probable solution?
Is there any errors occurred during flashing process?

Nevermind, I reformatted /data and /cache using ext4 again and flashed EU Rom. Seems to be working. I tried EU rom before but it wasn't working because of f2fs.
Will try any 14.1 rom soon.

f2fs is good but as I will need to go back & forth MIUi & CM/AOSP I guess it's better to stay on EXT4 for now. Until MIUI adds f2fs support.

Hows nexus rom? Is it better then miui in terms of performance and stability? And dual sims are working on nexus experience rom?
I am currently on latest Miui 8 MM 6.12.8 (Epic Rom).. I have ZCX twrp installed and bootloader unlocked officially, can you guide where to start so that I can go back and forth Miui Cm/AOSP, I mean is there anything which need to be backed up before moving to nexus rom so that I can easily come back to Miui 8 MM..
Sent from my Redmi Note 3 using Tapatalk
IMO Nexus Experience is the most stable ROM I used. And the dev doesn't push any useless updates. In my usage, it was so much better than miui. I didn't try dual sim because I have only single sim. But should work without any trouble.
If you are official unlocked first flash the twrp recovery from TheStrix's CM thread. After twrp you can install any MIUI from Xiaomi Eu via the twrp recovery. They update the rom when there is a new stable release. Xiaomi eu roms are better than global rom because it does not have unnecessary softwares and also the china based rom which is more stable and optimized. I also used a debloating script that stripped away all junks of MIUI.
If you want to switch from miui, flash any custom rom using the same procedure. However, you should always do a wipe (factory reset) before flashing any rom.

Thank you very much for guidance, I need both of my sims to work so its my main concern, If somebody is using dual sims on NX experience rom 10.4 kindly let me know so that I can flash it as well.
There is twrp-3.0.M4-0 recovery recommended by TheStrix on his CM thread, is this the one?
If we check nexus experience rom's page, they have recommended to use alka recovery only, kindly check below:
http://en.miui.com/thread-357205-1-1.html
And which version of Radon Kernel you are using? Is it 3.2?

NX Experience is a very nice and smooth rom I have just installed it and I'm loving it.
Kindly let me know how to enable screenshot button in notification panel? I can't find it anywhere.. The only thing which I am missing right now coming from Miui, is three fingers swipe down to take screenshot, is there any alternative?
Did you install Xposed Framework? If yes then which version and from where did you download it..
Thanks & Best Regards,

You need to be on MM bootloader for new builds...
If you never flashed MM fastboot ROM on your device, then you are still on LP bootloader.
You must flash fastboot rom and then unlock it officialy...in that case it will work fine and you dont need to flash anything
Easy way is to flash MM bootloader;

[HELP] Kenzo stuck on Boot on latest Nougat ROMS.

I have observed that my RN3 kenzo is not able to boot on any Nougat ROM built after 2nd april.
I have tried the following ROMS :
1. XenonHD (2nd and 7th april builds - Working fine)
2. Xenon HD 5th May - STUCK ON BOOT
3. Nitrogen OS - STUCK ON BOOT (I dont remember the build date but I downloaded it in april )
4. Resurrection Remix 3rd May - STUCK ON BOOT
5. Cosmic OS - 6th May - STUCK ON BOOT
All the installations were clean flashes. Installed CM14.1_Firmware_kenzo_12.04.2017, still no luck.
What is the reason behind this ? How Can I solve it ?

my bootloader is unlocked.
I installed an older build of XenonHD and it is working fine. All the newer builds are getting stuck.
Edit : Unofficially unlocked.
Flash latest firmware from Official LOS thread and flash your rom. Here is the direct link https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634767927
And Read this.
Some nougat roms won`t boot if you don`t format data after you`ve flashed the rom. So try this: if you are coming from miui, you don`t need to flash any firmware, then wipe system+data+dalvik cache+cache, install rom+gapps and last thing, Format Data (you`ll find it under advanced wipe) and reboot to system. Save your files to sdcard or computer before do that, because this will erase all internal storage, but twrp will remain.

This.
Some of the Newer ROMs need MM bootloader. If you've unofficially unlocked then that means you're on LP bootloader.
Try Flashing the latest MIUI dev ROM and unlocking officially.
Yeah that's exactly what @bloodytolits said flash the latest developer rom i think the Chinese roms get unlocked easily so you can go with it until you unlocked officially then you don't need to flash any firmware again your already on the latest then flash the rom and your ready to go good look

Hey @bloodytolits ,I'm facing the same problem. Can I flash latest global stable ROM and unlock my bootloader on it OR do I need to flash global dev ROM?

Most of the latest ROMs only works on firmwares 7.5.4 - 7.6.7. I don't know if they already changed that. So you can install(and unlock) MIUI dev 7.5.4 - 7.6.7 or the latest and just flash the 7.5.4 - 7.6.7 firmware afterwards before trying to flash any custom rom.
Most people says it should be dev ROM, as I haven't officially unlocked mine I don't know. I'm using Kate and following this guide, you won't really need to officially unlock. I can't guarantee if this would work on kenzo though.

Okay. Now I'm planning to flash MIUI fastboot from RR 5.8.3. and lock my bootloader. Will it cause any bootloop problem?

Did u apply for permission from xiaomi to unlock this phone and unlocked it using Miunlock tool and pressed unlock button to unlock?
Or
Did u used fastboot oem unlock-go command to unlock ?
If u don't know which one? That means this phone is stolen one.:laugh:

you can't do it, without update firmware your phone just bootloop not booting into system
For the love of all that is sweet, just do the following:
1. flash unlock_bootloader.zip from the LineageOS thread.
2. Flash Psy_Man's latest firmware ( Kenzo or Kate, whetever you need ).
3. Flash latest LineageOS nightly.
4. Clear Dalvik & Cache.
Influx of people that don't know what they are supposed to know makes this forum become the place where blind are leading the blind...
Can u please give the link of "unlock_bootloader.zip" file I cannot find it. Thanks

Is it okay if I flash the latest firmware from here in TWRP: https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/development/firmware-hmnote3proglobal-t3574361 without flashing unlock_bootloader.zip? I had my bootloader officially unlocked.

The unlock_bootloader.zip is for unlock unofficially only.
If u unlock officially u don't need it.

If you had your bootloader officially unlocked then do it the normal way, why even go to shady paths and get compatibility issues in future.
The thing is all those firmwares which claims that bootloader won't be unlocked just removes bootloader from firmware, so it doesn't get upgraded but if you're on lollipop bootloader you have to do it the official way otherwise you will bootloop.

Flash the firmware given by thestrix, and if your bootloader dosen't get locked you're on mm bootloader and fine to flash 7.1.2 roms. But if bootloader gets locked(which means you were on lollipop bootloader) then you have to flash latest miui dev rom through edl and unlock it again through miui unlock( it won't give you 50% error again).

I am on an old LOS build right now. So all I have to do is flash this https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634767927 in TWRP and I will be on latest firmware. And then I should be able to flash the new LOS builds without any error 7. Is that correct?

Yep, if bootloader doesn't get locked you're good to go. Otherwise you have to do all the process I have explained above.
My RN3 (Kenzo) is running miui 7,unlocked bootloader and twrp installed. But whenever I install any rom it bootloops. First I tried to flash XENONHD it gets stuck in the xenonhd bootanimation and after that I flashed Pixel rom in this rom it never gets beyond the google boot logo. What's wrong with my device? Please guide me to fix this.
is there a way to know what version of bootloader we have ? (LL or MM)
Not directly, but if you remember where you have got it, you can guess.

It means you're on LP bootloader. If you have officially unlocked, to upgrade to MM bootloader, flash the latest MIUI or the firmware provided by TheStrix on LOS official thread(this will relock your bootloader), go to fastboot, plug device and unlock via Mi Unlock. If you did it unofficially then read a few post back, someone posted a fix.

Nope.... well you can flash TheStrix's firmware, if your phone boots up then you're on MM, if it didn't(Mi logo flashes for a second before turning off again) then LP . Or try a safer way but you needed to download a full ROM. Download the latest LOS(or any latest LOS based ROM), flash it, if you get bootloop then you're on LP bootloader.

Thx for your help.
I've flashed 2 firmwares on my kate(whithout emmc-appsboot.mbn file in it):
7.5.25 (beta) and 8.2.4.0 (stable).
I've got no problem when flashig both, but when I flash Resurection remix (last build which is based on LOS) I stuck on bootanimation. But i don't think it's a bootloop because my phone dont restart(Black screen + MI logo + bootanimation). it just stay on bootanimation and never boot (ask for pin)
Wait but why do you need to unlock officially​?? I unlocked unofficially and flashed lineage (i mean cm14.1) and it worked like a charm. Though you need the firmware.
