How to flash OTA through TWRP?

I have official unlocked bootloader, with TWRP that patches boot.img automatically, and rooted Global Beta ROM on SD version. I successfully flashed full ROM zip without any problem, by just flashing in TWRP without any modifications or any other boot.img.
But I never flashed OTA before. I'm a little paranoid about this, I don't wanna brick my phone again. By my given condition, I should be able to flash OTA zips without any modifications, and keeping my TWRP and unlocked bootloader, right?

No I didn't. I flashed the modified one that I do not have to flash boot.img when flashing miui rom

You don't need boot.img if you use official TWRP.

Flash TWRP (just check the Screenshots) and after that you can flash OTA without problems (I did it 2 times). Have no problems.
But first take the new TWRP and make a backup with EFS on a USB Stick or sd card. If something go wrong you can restore your RN3P.
Official twrp?
Lol yea u mite be able to flash ota with official twrp but won't it lock the bootloader and boot.img..
But there mite be a way to make it work .
Use the original boot.img of the current ROM and flash then flash the otathat(so there won't be error 7) will fix the issue .and the twrp will auto patch the boot.img after update

global beta ota update unclear

hi,
I'm new to the redmi note 3 and I'm not 100% sure how to update an ota.
I'm on global beta 6.4.28 with offical unlocked bootloader and twrp + patched boot.img.
now I received ota for 6.5.19. I wanted to install it but before that I tried to open the file and to extract and patch the boot.img but there is only a boot.img.p file. so I'm not sure how to proceed.
Try cofface twrp

Install the ROM through official TWRP and then run the universal boot image patcher zip from this link. That's what I do and it works great
is there a way do directly flash the ota from downloaded_rom folder? I get an error doing that

How to switch from global stable to global beta/dev?

Hey there,
I own a Redmi Note 3 Special Edition (Kate) and I currently am on 8.1.1.0 global stabel. I'd like to switch to beta/dev (Is it the same? There doesn't seem to be a difference on the download page) without any loss of data if that's possible? What's the most reliable way to switch?
Thanks in advance
If your phone is on stock firmware then download the latest developer rom for kenzo. Make sure you download recovery ROM and not fastboot rom for your device. Fastboot Roms can be flashed only using mi flash tool. After downloading ROM copy it to d root of your phone s internal storage. Then go to updater app and choose update package i.e zip file. It will decrypt and then install update.

He's having Kate, so he should only flash Kate's ROM (not KENZO) otherwise he'll get bootloop. I am having KATE and have the latest global dev 7.2.9.
I have installed TWRP after unlocking bootloader and flashed the recovery ROM.

Wrong place to ask that question, and ans of your questions is just flash miui via fastboot, edl, or custom recovery.

how to go to edl through custom rom directly? i cant use edl command from modified adb file
Admin please move this thread to question and answers.
Search for fastboottoedl on google.Using that you can go to edl mode from fastboot mode.Use miflashtool to flash latest fastboot rom.
Wrong section, but here's how you do it:
Fastboot: http://en.miui.com/a-234.html
Recovery: download MIUI 8 zip here: Global stable: http://bigota.d.miui.com/V8.1.6.0.MHOMIDI/miui_HMNote3ProGlobal_V8.1.6.0.MHOMIDI_8b2a6cbc26_6.0.zip
Global dev: http://bigota.d.miui.com/7.3.2/miui_HMNote3ProGlobal_7.3.2_061249403d_6.0.zip
Reboot to recovery, wipe dalvik, data, cache. Do not wipe system and internal storage (or which ever place ROM zip is stored). Flash and reboot.

Stack in twrp - please help

Hi all,
I have redmi note 4x (snapdragon).
I tried rooting (after unlocked) using this tool:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-4/how-to/twrp-easy-root-redmi-note-4-1-click-t3606463
For some reason it didn't work (stuck in fastboot screen)
So I did, in fast boot:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot recovery.img (I have no idea why I did that)
Then I loaded twrp by vol+ and power button
When in twrp I flashed supersu.
Since then the phone only boots to twrp. I read I need to flash lazyflasher-no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip, and so I did, and it didn't help.
What should I do?
If I need to flash a new ROM, where can I find the official ROM (international version) that came with the phone (note 4x not 4)?
Thanks for your help
No one has any ideas?

@Sp_Ark Thanks
Will using MIUI ROM Flashing Tool in fastboot re-lock my bootloader?
Will it revert back to stock recovery?
Is it possible to flash the zip from that link using twrp?

I use red wolf twrp and with that recovery you can flash stock zips. I'm not sure if you can do it with the official twrp that u have. Also with the red wolf there is an option in the settings that keeps custom recovery after flashing official miui. Actually I think you can flash official rom zip with official twrp as well the option in talking about is for flashing OTA updates. With red wolf you can also root either with flashing the included super super zip or with the included magisk. I don't know if flashing with miui tool will relock, I believe not but not sure.

OK. I solved it.
I put all the necessary files in the external SD.
I did a complete wipe (system, cache etc.)
I flashed the complete firmware from the link @Sp_Ark gave me (thanks)
I flashed red wolf twrp (just in case the flashing of the complete firmware was reverting me back to stock recovery)
I flashed supersu
I flashed lazyflasher
Reboot to recovery (just to make sure)
Rebooted to system, all is well.
I rebooted to recovery to set the special actions: "Support MIUI Incremental OTA" and "Include System in OTA Survival".
Rebooted to system and all is perfect (rooted)
I couldn't find the included supersu and magisk in the red wolf twrp though, so I downloaded supersu myself.
