I had followed this unofficial method to unlock my Redmi note 3 Kenzo edition.
https://www.google.co.in/url?sa=t&s...ggcMAA&usg=AFQjCNFjB7vUV3kw05OKkntRn5Qgc5gqEQ
After this I entered into fastboot mode and flashed twrp recovery. It says that flashing is successful.
Just after that step all rooting methods contain a step to type FASTBOOT BOOT recovery.IMG But when I type the command and hit the enter key, it says that the recovery
image is unsigned and step is unsuccessful.
What is the problem actually ? How do I know whether the bootloader is unlocked or not ? If unlocked then suggest some alternatives for installing TWRP. I cannot unlock it officially as there is some problem regarding the email account linked with the Mi account.
Requesting immediate assistance.....

Hi,
I have unlocked my bootloader officially through the unlock tool and wanted to flash a custom recovery and also root my device (Redmi Note 3 - Snapdragon).
I was on Global Dev (6.5.19) before I even started to unlock my bootloader.
After unlock, I was succesffuly able to flash Cofface TWRP recovery through fastboot (well the command prompt didn't throw up any errors and had a success message).
However, when i reboot into recovery (either through button combination or "adb reboot recovery", I just get a screen that shows an image of a phone and USB cable" (similar to the image on the official bootloader unlock tool.
I checked whether the bootloader was unlocked (fastboot oem device-info) and it was indeed unlocked.
I have factory reset and reflashed 6.5.19 (Global dev rom) with MiFlash and this hasn't made any difference.
I also relocked the bootloader with MiFlash Beta and then unlocked successfully with the official unlock tool.
All of these steps still haven't made a difference.
Can someone please advise on the next step to do (as unlocked bootloader is pretty useless if I can't install a custom recovery).
P.S. I also get the same phone and usb cable image when booting into stock recovery
find it weird problem
if you dont,then first just boot the recovery
code:- fastboot boot xxxrecovery.img where xxxrecovery replace your own recovery img name in fastboot folder.
you must success and see twrp recovery
then again transfer img to sdcard and to flash from recovery.
then flash it from recovery and when you reboot ,just swipe to diseable rom to replace it with stock one.
find it really weird ,i did it hundredths of time in my offi unlocked and every time goes fine flashing recovery from fastboot
Hit thanks if i helped
please follow this... it does help for me.

I have the same problem .How u solved your problem?
You can easily flash this one ZCX Twrp. Is the best i didn`t encountered any issue until now. I`ve flashed custom roms and miui roms as well.. The install process is very simple, follow this one https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/zcx-twrp-install-twrp-flash-supersu-t3462448
**I am not responsible for anything that may happen to your phone as a result of installing any roms and kernels or due to following this guide. You do so at your own risk and take the responsibility upon yourself**
This Guide is accurate and updated to help you unlock your bootloader and flash custom recovery like twrp.
But before you get started, please back up all your important data and make sure that your battery is charged at least 60% or else it may get your device bricked.
Requirements: All the drivers mentioned below, Windows PC, cable, Redmi Note 7 Pro and some general knowledge obviously
Step by Step: Official Unlock Process
1> Disable driver signature enforcement in Windows(Just in case)
If your computer doesn’t recognize Xiaomi drivers then please disable driver signature enforcement. How to do this please read here: http://en.miui.com/thread-237673-1-1.html
2> Install ADB and Fastboot tools with drivers on Windows
How to install adb and fastboot please read here: Click Here
How to install Mi drivers- Click Here (Optional, Just in case)
3> Enable "OEM unlocking" and "USB debugging" in your device
a. Enable Developer Options in: Settings/About Phone/MIUI version. Click on MIUI version seven times
b. Now go to: Settings/Additional Settings/Developer Options and check "OEM unlocking" and "USB debugging"
4> Connect your phone to PC via USB cable and wait for a minute or 2 to make sure your PC install Redmi specific drivers and after that open cmd by searching or press "Windows+X" and open PowerShell and type "adb devices" and then check your phone for any prompt and press "Yes" or "Allow" and also tick the check box that's says "Always allow for this computer" and after that it will display your phone's serial number in cmd. If it shows no devices found then that means you've missed a step. Follow all the steps properly and your device will appear there..
5> Check if your bootloader is locked
a> Type "adb reboot bootloader" and then your phone should enter fastboot with Mi bunny logo and in if it's doesn't then try this method- Turn off your phone, then enter the fastboot mode by holding together "Volume Down + Power" and then connect your device to your computer via USB cable (best would be the original cable)
b> Go to the folder where you have put the "ADB and Fastboot" and open a command window inside that folder. To do that hold together "Shift + Right Click" on any empty white space inside the folder and then select "Open PowerShell Window Here" or "Open Command Window Here"
c> Enter the terminal command in command line: "fastboot devices" and it should once again show your device..
If you don't see your device it means that the drivers weren't installed properly or the device wasn't connected properly. If this happens please reinstall your drivers again or try these drivers here(only install this if everything else fails):
http://xiaomiadvices.com/download-xiaomi-usb-drivers/
d> If you see your device then enter the terminal command in command line: "fastboot oem device-info"
If your bootloader is locked, you'll get the following status (or something similar):
…………………………………………………………………….
(bootloader) Device tampered: false
(bootloader) Device unlocked: false
(bootloader) Device critical unlocked: false
(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: false
(bootloader) Display panel:
OKAY [ 0.058s]
finished. total time: 0.063s
………………………………………………………………………
If your bootloader is unlocked, you'll get following status (or something similar):
…………………………………………………………………….
(bootloader) Device tampered: false
(bootloader) Device unlocked: true
(bootloader) Device critical unlocked: true
(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: false
(bootloader) Display panel:
OKAY [ 0.053s]
finished. total time: 0.055s
………………………………………………………………………
6> Unlock the Bootloader
a> Create a Mi Account: https://global.account.xiaomi.com/pass/register
b> Connect your Mi Account to your Device-
Go to: Settings/Additional Settings/Developer Options/Mi Unlock status and check "Add account and device" and add the Mi account that you just created
Unlocking the bootloader will erase all your data! So please back up your data before you unlock the bootloader!
c> You must enable "OEM unlocking" and "USB debugging"
d> You must connect your Mi Account with your device
e> Download Mi Unlock Tool here: http://en.miui.com/unlock/download_en.html
f> Install Mi unlock tool and launch it and after that it will ask for phone number that you used to create the Mi account. Type that and then get otp and type that as well and then it ask you to enter fastboot
g> Enter the fastboot mode by holding together "Volume Down + Power" and connect your device to your computer via USB cable (best would be the original cable)
h> Start the Unlock process
i> Follow the unlock tool instructions until the unlock procedure is finished or it may ask you to wait 72 hours or more. In that case wait till that period and then try unlocking again
j> Reboot your device
Is your bootloader actually unblocked?
To check this, go back to step 5.d and run the command or go to developer settings/Mi unlock status and you will see that your device is unlocked if you've followed this guide correctly..
Install the TWRP Recovery
Once you device is unlocked,
1> Boot your phone into Fastboot(you already know how to do that by now).
2> Then open a command prompt in the folder where twrp image file is located and connect your device to PC and run "fastboot devices"and it should show your device and then
3> Type "fastboot flash recovery twrp(type the actual name of twrp here). img"
4> Boot into recovery before rebooting and to do this, type- "fastboot boot twrp-3.2.1.0-violet.img" or "fastboot reboot recovery" or do it manually by holding "Volume up+Power"
Link for twrp- Not yet available. To be updated soon
Root Your Smartphone
First boot into your OS and then
Go to twrp/Install and select Magisk file and flash it and then reboot.
Now, you've successfully rooted your device.

There is no such thing as fastboot rom.. Any rom can be on installed via twrp or fastboot but fastboot process is difficult for newbies that's why people use twrp.. and did you really expect a rom this early?? Really? kindly wait and let everyone get a device first..

Generally xiaomi release both recovery and fastboot flashable rom simultaneously but fastboot rom pkg can be leaked from factory build .however recovery mode flashable Rom may be available thereafter ,also mi team aggressively builds and packs rom so both can be available at mi server but link not publically revealed .
You can rewrite a recovery flash updater script with fastboot partitions but absolutley cant use fastboot pkg as it is in recovery mode.

That's stock miui rom.. stock roms always are fastboot and recovery supported and i get that.. And by fastboot rom if you mean leaked miui builds and xiaomi.eu rom, then they are once again stock firmware based and not really custom rom.. I only created this thread for clear guide on unlocking bootloader, twrp and installing custom rom.. So what's the point of name calling.. jeez.. peace out buddy..
My only objective is to get twrp up and running as soon as i get the device.. And device haven't even sold yet, not even in china.. So i standby by my point for everyone to kindly wait for a while.. flashing leaked builds and stuff like this is what gets devices bricked especially since note 7 has anti rollback enabled.. If the leaked build is downgraded than that firmware, even by small version number, device is bricked.. So i want everyone to be careful.. but if anybody wants to do that, then sure go right ahead.. it's your choice

FYI
Stock roms from Xiaomi come in two formats
1. a stock rom package which you can flash from recovery (twrp) or through system updater (aka choose update package). These are full stock roms (not OTAs). These cannot be flashed via fastboot or MiFlash tool. These have the actual market name of the device in the file name and can be found here.
https://en.miui.com/download.html
2. fastboot roms, these are full roms which need to be flashed either via fastboot or using MiFlash tool. these cannot be flashed using a recovery or system updater. These have the codename of the device in the file name.
Hope this clears your misconception.

I get it just fine.. fastboot roms that you say are also called factory images.. i get it.. When i mentioned stock miui is recovery and fastboot supported, I meant stock rom supporting both recovery and fastboot version but I'm not interested in miui so i wrote in shortcut and didn't write in detail like u did mentioning individual version cause I've no interest in miui so why write so much about it in this thread.. when i said any rom can be flashed via twrp or fastboot, I meant custom rom not memeUI/miui.. i never said anything about supporting miui or fastboot roms that you say.. i never mentioned anything about it so no point in attacking me over it.. Peace.. No hard feelings if you like miui.. I like aosp so i plan to support that only in this thread.. No more OT discussion.. No hard feelings once again.. I'd to keep discussion aosp related..
I've got a noobish question - would flashing a global rom on chinese/indian version of RN7 somehow enable global bands?

There are ways to enable lte bands by modifying nv files but still you won't get any signals in that band, not unless xiaomi themselves include the blobs required to enable those band and the antenna must be capable of accepting it as well.. So, short answer no unless one manages to get the right blob and hardware support..

can anyone email me a aida64 report for note 7 pro, or i have to start a thread
Please if anyone can help me with the AT&T LG Phoenix 4. I need to unlock the bootloader so I can install custom recovery. I have already tried to do it with ADB, but when I type reboot bootloader the phone just reboots all the way, and when I type fastboot ome unlock it says waiting on device I don't think there is a fastboot mode on 8.1. I just know everything I try to type to unlock the bootloader it just says waiting on device. If any one has any information on how to unlock bootloader and or install TWRP or a custom recovery please help or any info on rooting this device now that it's on 8.1 would also be great. Thank you in advance
Same issue here. Read that 8.1 relocks the bootloader. Need a solution for this. Download mode is available on my device which permits firmware update. Anyone know where to put an image?

Did you try with Vol down + power button option for fastboot ?
If your fastboot is broken you would need to go service center to hard flash them

Unbrick realme XT with MSM tool
Hi friends,
I recently tried to unlock bootloader of Realme XT running on Android 10, Realme Ui.
I successfully unlocked the bootloader with official method and I installed Twrp. Now comes the issue, after 1st reboot, the Twrp was replaced by stock recovery, so I again tried to flash, but there was write error and I couldn't flash back using adb.
Now, the mistake, so I thought why not to repeat the same process again, that is again locking the bootloader and repeating all the steps. I forgot the I shouldn't do it with adb and use the official method.
I put the command in adb to relock bootloader and my bootloader crashed saying it's destroyed. I couldn't get into recovery nor fastboot with any of the method. After doing a lot of research I found the MSM tool for flashing with the crack but it didn't serve the purpose.
Afterwards, I took remote help of one of service person paid him online, he also used MSM tool, but he was having username and password, and one my realme XT again started working.
The day I am able to use MSM tool in cracked condition will be able to take risks of rooting again.
Thanks for listening to the story.

I have extensively searched this forum and couldn't find to answers to the following!
Looking for experts to guide..
Query #1: TWRP Backup of Stock ROM causes bootloop!
I had unlocked Bootloader of Redmi Note 4 and used temporary TWRP (fastboot boot twrp.img) to take a backup of stock ROM and found that the device cannot boot back into Stock ROM.
I had tried to restore 'boot.img' using the TWRP stock ROM backup (and also from downloaded stock ROM) but that didnt help.
Same problem seen in Redmi 4 as well.
When booted to TWRP using fastboot boot (without flashing), in which partition TWRP is stored (boot or cache)?
After I had booted into TWRP (without flashing), is the backup of boot partition that I took still a stock version one?
Query #2: Relocking and unlocking Bootloader
I had unlocked bootloader using the MiFlash unlock tool (miflash_unlock-en-3.5.1108.44).
If I relock the bootloader using the MiFlash tool, would I need MiFlash unlock tool again to unlock or would 'fastboot flashing unlock' work?
Thank you!

1. That bootloop *probably* happened because you swiped the "allow modification option" in twrp.
(One more advice : in twrp backup you should backup the "system image" and "vendor image" not the "system" and "vendor", If you don't want bootloop after restoring. (Or If you got a bootloop already flash that verity removal zip)
2. You will need mi unlock again.
