installing twrp - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers

Hi. Could somebody please tell me the best way to install twrp and what to do to avoid warnings like "unable to mount storage twrp full selinux support is present" on Kenzo. Btw which is the best twrp?
Which steps should I take? Thanks

If u r on MIUI Rom, use ZCX Twrp. For custom ROM, use official twrp. Best wat to install twrp is from fastboot.
fastboot flash recovery (your twrp file)

Step 1: Unlock your bootloader
Step 2: Curse all because it's a pain in the ass to unlock
Step 3: Try to unlock bootloader again
Step 4: See post above

Redmi note 3 flashing twrp help

Hi guys does any one have working method on how to flash twrp recovery on rdmi note 3 sd well im currently on miui 8 6.11.3 beta developer rom.. Some body help me
This is assuming you have an unlocked bootloader already.
http://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-install-twrp/
Yes i already unlocked the bootloader nd even flashed twrp once but it asked me for a password to decrypt nd i couldnt flash gapps so i flashed back to dev rom using mi flash tool
I haven't had that issue but try using zcx twrp

You dont need to flash back miui.. just format your internal storage using adb command "fastboot format userdata" thats it. Then flash twrp again using adb. Now boot into twrp &clean flash any custom rom you want. Everything will be ok..
Although you get back to miui. So this video will help you a lot to install twrp. Just follow his fastboot method & use alka recovery instead of official recovery

Help! Need to revert back to MIUI from CM13 !

Hi ,
I have to revert back to latest MIUI ROM from CM13 ROM [ locked Bootloader]. I have read other threads too but theres never a clear answer.
First of all I dont have any backup of any MIUI roms. I want to do a clean install of latest MIUI build.
What do I have? : Alka TWRP, CM 13 with locked bootloader I think.
Can someone please tell me what do things I need to revert back with steps?
Do I need to unlock the bootloader first then flash the lastest build of MIUI with MiFlash tool? or the bootloader needs to unlocked later after the flash?
Or can I install MIUI recovery rom? with ALKA TWRP?
Flesh miui rom via edl method using mi flash tool.
download fastboot rom and flash via mi flash.
it will lock ur bootloader so unlock it via mi unlock again if u officially unlocked.
off course this method requires a PC.

In the developer mode settings, enable advance options to restart. This will give you the option (on long pressing the power button) to reboot into recovery. If by this method you can get into recovery it would be alot easy to flash the MIUI ROM (which you can get for your device from the official miui rom download site).
If you can't get into recovery, you will need a PC/laptop.

Most probably yes.
But you could try( before unlocking) booting into recovery as i have mentioned above.

From stock to latest custom rom, how?

I was on CyanogenMod (I guess 13) and wanted to move to JDC rom. I did some flashing and then eventually my phone was fully stuck and booting over and over again. I followed the guide to unbrick it and this went successfully. What steps to follow now? I've found tons of guides which all use different versions of TWRP and OOS but I'm not sure what way I should go.... any help?

The problem was your bootloader. I'm writing this guide assuming that you're running a marshmallow OS.
1. Follow this guide to update your bootloader: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-x/general/guide-update-bootloader-firmware-to-t3478917
2. Download and flash the latest TWRP recovery found here: https://dl.twrp.me/onyx/
3. Flash the JDC ROM normally as you would've before.

Thanks for your quick reply. Currently I am not on a custom recovery yet because I'm not sure on the first step. Can I just follow the guide from step 1 without custom recovery or do I need to flash something for that first? Currently I'm on Oxygen OS 2.1 and my bootloader is unlocked.
Also, do I flash the bootloader twice in a row (first from step 1 in the guide and then again in step 2) or should I flash the latest directly?
edit: Would installing OOS3 from a zip and then installing latest TWRP be easier for me maybe even though it will take longer?

You can't use the stock recovery to flash the bootloader zip.
Installing OxygenOS 3 would be much easier for you but would take time(the download of OOS). If you decide to do so then:
1. Update OOS to 3.x.x, you'll get the newer bootloader so you won't have to flash the bootloader zip.
2. Flash the latest TWRP Recovery.
3. Normally flash the JDC ROM as you would've before.
If you don't wanna download OOS3, then follow these steps:
1. Flash the latest TWRP Recovery.
2. Then flash the bootloader zip ( https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9KbfmnSD_ryeU9KRnlyYW1iZm8/view )
3. Normally flash the JDC ROM as you would've before.
It worked, thanks a lot for clearing this up!

How do I install twrp? I don't want to brick my device.

Install adb and fastboot drivers .
Download orange fox recovery (place it on desktop ) https://drive.google.com/file/d/14pEu6xx0eg14uGbsf9tXCdu8LVz4z7iP/view?usp=drivesdk
Open CMD and enter into fastboot mode
In CMD type - fastboot flash recovery filelocation
For making it easy instead of putting file location , just drag the recovery file into CMD it will automatically write location .
Now simply boot into recovery by pressing volume up+ power or type fastboot boot filelocation .
Just do everything as mentioned there will be no problem , make nandroid backup asap .
What is Magisk? Thank you for the help. I'll be sure to post again if I encounter any problems.
What is a Nandroid backup?

It's a backup of your system
Before flashing anything in the custom.recovery, I recommend making a fully working ROM backup,
So you'll need to click backup in the recovery and tick
BOOT
DATA
SYSTEM
also, make a SEPARATE backup of the EFS this is very important.

Just an advise.
I think you should not try any of this mods before you study deeply the effects and the risks of it. You are so newbie that you can brick your device if you make any mistake performing the operations.
I have a Redmi note 5 AI 6/64 gb variant. After purchasing my device i have unlockd the bootloader and flash global stable rom but i can't relock the bootloader. my previous rom was MIUI 9.5.21.0 China and my current rom is MIUI 9.5.17.0. If i relock the bootloader phone boot into recovery mode and shows "This MIUI version can't be installed on this device". If i unlocked the bootloader again then phone reboot into OS. As per my findings from MIUI 9.5.6.0 bootloader can't be locked after flashing global rom on Chinese device. Its a bug from xiaomi. So my question is
1. If i flash my device into 9.2.7.0 can i relock my bootloader again and can perform OTA update?
2. I have got an OTA update MIUI 9.6.3.0. If i update my device will it get bricked? If i can update my device via OTA update will it relock my bootloader automatically? Or do I have to flash it manually?

Please help answer this

My question is that if I try to flash a custom rom(I guess Havoc OS) after unlocking my RN3's bootloader "unofficially" with this guide.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/unlock-unofficially-install-zcx-twrp-t3586778
Will i get a boot loop?
And to avoid that what should I do?
I don't want to go for official unlock tool, it takes 360hr I can't wait that much.
Please I don't want to brick my phone.
Thanks in advance
Please help

Thank you very much for replying sir,
I have 2 more questions.
1. If I unlock unofficially and install zcx twrp, and then how will i install official TWRP that you mentioned 3.2.3 version safely without any bootloops or stuck?
2. After installing official TWRP, if I try flashing ArrowOS, is it possible to get bootloop after flash (because some people say they hard bricked their phone after flashing Roms after using unofficial method)?
