Roms not booting up! - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers

Hi! I have a weird issue. Any new roms like 7.1.2, 8.0etc are just not booting up in my redmi note 3. I always get stuck at the boot logo. The phone vibrates and hints as if it is going to boot up boot its not. The process continues and the phone doesn't boot up. It works all fine with the older roms. But with newer version the roms dont boot up. I tried several roms like Nitrogen,RR,Linege OS etc. But newer versions of both Nougat and Oreo roms don't boot up. I don't have any clue of what to do now. I have zcx twrp installed and have officially unlocked the bootloder. Please if anyone have any insight regarding the issue it will be helpful.
Thank You.

Check whether the bootloader is still unlocked by commands. Twrp in this case, is useless so flash MIUI official rom & again unlock officially.
Make sure you wipe everything in Twrp if the command says bootloader is unlocked.

Try flashing LazyFlasher after the ROM. Also, are you flashing the recommended firmwares before flashing the ROM?

Update modem (firmware). Either by: flashing latest MIUI Beta fastboot rom or from here

problem with twrp and oos 3.x.x

hello,
my current situation: i am on oos 2.2.3, not rooted, twrp 3.0.1-0 running.
i want to install a 3.x.x oos, version, i wanted to install 3.1.2 first, cause oneplus site i can install that directly form 2.2.3 (no such info on 3.1.3 and 3.1.4)
when i try to install with twrp, it says "this package is for "Oneplus" devices, this is a "ONE"
i think i am using the wrong twrp version. tried to install the newest (3.0.3-0), but this one doenst work, can not boot into it.
please help
Best is to fastboot flash old OOS 2 recovery
Then, with it, flash the 2.2.3. Reboot. then Flash 3.1.4. with the recovery
First you need to flash official oxygen os recovery for android 5.1 lollipop https://s3.amazonaws.com/oxygenos.oneplus.net/OPX_recovery.img Now you will be able to boot the phone. Now download and copy oxygen os 3.1.4 to internal memory http://downloads.oneplus.net/devices/oneplus-x/ Reboot into recovery and flash the rom.
Aftrr successful flash of oos3 boot into fastboot and flash latest twrp from twrp website.. This time it should work.
thanks, it work with the costum recovery.
on 3.1.4 i installed a slightly older twrp form sparkfire (3.0.2 i think), rooting and installing xposed worked fine though.
is it important to have the latest twrp?
and another question. at some point in my hours long struggel with updating my opx i softbricked it. i guess my bootloader was locked and i tried to install another recovery. i expected it to be still unlocked from my first rooting months ago. when does the bootloader lock?

It is always recommended to use latest (bugs free)
You can use this one https://dl.twrp.me/onyx/twrp-3.0.3-0-onyx.img latest as of now. And no u didn't brick ur phone. U flashed a new twrp for old bootloader version. Thts y u got stuck with oneplus logo. Its all oneplus things. Its always preferred to use stock recovery for updating bootloader which is safe. Check your bootloader state by giving this cmds "fastboot oem device-info"

Yes it is. OP said that he's on OOS 3.1.3, so already on the new BL.

every rom gets stuck on boot animation redmi note 3 kenzo!!

o i unlocked my bootloader using unofficial method installed twrp from adb and every rom i flash be it a custom rom or the original rom it gets stuck on boot animation forever (i left it over the night to conform ).i tried resurection remix , lineage os and the miui 8 stock rom.
please help!!!!!!!!!!!!
Use official method to unlock, unofficial method is risky and no longer supported. Till then flash stock MIUI Global Stable using EDL mode.

It's on bootloop cause the bootloader is locked again.
Check if the bootloader is locked again. If it doesn't follow-
First: use ZCX recovery which disables the dm-verify which helps not to lock bootloader with roms/miui roms.
Second: after flashing rom, flash lazy flasher so that the rom can boot up, search and you will get that zip.
Third: don't flash firmware without checking if it locks the bootloader again.
Now flash any rom with that recovery and after flashing, flash lazy flasher and it should boot fine. Check the tutorials to learn more about these mods.
Though it would be better if you unlock officially.

Re-flashing OPX ROM via fastboot

Hi
First a little history...
I recently got an OPX with the intention of installing Sailfish OS on it. So first I need to get CM 12.1 installed. Following the instructions here I flashed TWRP using fastboot, but the version of TWRP provided at the link would not find any system partitions on my device and therefore could not be used to flash any images. Newer versions of TWRP would simply not load.
Eventually, using the stock OPX recovery, I managed to upgrade Oxygen OS to the latest version. I then flashed the latest version of TWRP (3.1.1-1) again and it worked! It found my devices partitions and I could flash ROMs with it. But, it wouldn't flash CM 12.1. Something about a trustzone incompatibility...
So I got the idea to try and downgrade Oxygen OS, which I did via TWRP. But then TWRP stopped working... and here is my problem.
I'm now stuck in a situation where:
- I can access fastboot
- The only versions of TWRP which work (e.g. 3.0.2-0) fail to find my system partitions, and therefore can't be used to flash ROMs
- The stock recovery also seems to fail to find the system partitions (clicking on "install locally" does nothing), so I can't use that to flash ROMs either
So I really need to get a working image on my phone somehow... but how?? Is it possible to do this via fastboot only?
Cheers!
Is your bootloader unlocked? TWRP cannot see system partitions if so.
I unlocked it originally... but since then I have installed a new ROM (Oxygen OS 2.x). Would this overwrite the bootloader? Do I need to unlock again? I think I must be using the old OOS bootloader now...
I think you can see if it's unlocked if you boot into bootloader, connect to pc and write on cmd "fastboot devices".
Whenever you switch between android 5.0 roms and 6.0 and further you have to first use the correct recovery from oneplus, only then you can flash the correct twrp and the adequate roms
My bootloader is unlocked. I cannot flash a new ROM via recovery, because none of the recovery images (stock, TWRP) can see my system partitions (I don't know why). At this stage I would just like to know if there is a way to flash a stock ROM/recovery/bootloader via some other method (fastboot, or a special tool), so I can restore my phone back to factory state. I don't care about losing data. Thanks.
EDIT: Just to clarify, I believe this is my current situation (please correct me if something doesn't make sense):
- OOS has two different bootloaders, 2.x and 3.x.
- The phone originally had OOS 2.x on it. None of the TWRP images I installed recognized my system partitions, so I couldn't flash with TWRP.
- After re-installing the stock recovery (which happened automatically when I booted to the stock ROM), I was able to upgrade to OOS 3.x via stock recovery. Now recent TWRP versions were working (I assume because upgrading to OOS 3.x updated the bootloader too), and were recognizing my system partitions.
- Using a new version of TWRP (3.1.1-1), I re-flashed an older version of OOS 2.x again. I think this was my mistake, because I think this downgraded the bootloader to 2.x again. Now none of the TWRP versions recognize my system partitions, so I cannot flash ROMs.
- I have re-flashed the stock recovery from the OnePlus website, but not even this allows me to flash ROMs. The symptoms look like in TWRP, i.e. that it fails to recognize my system partitions. So I am stuck with no way to flash ROMs, or upgrade the bootloader.

Most custom roms produce bootloop

After my phone randomly bootlooped after almost 2 years i wanted to install a new custom rom. I have a redmi Note 3 SE (kate). So far only nitrogen os with oreo has worked. Every other custom rom is producing bootloop. On nitrogen my fingerprint does not work and some buttons don't do what I expect them to (left one is not go back, middle one is recent apps for some reason). So I really want to instll a different rom.
What I usually do to install the roms:
Factory reset -> Install Rom -> Install Gaps -> Reboot -> Bootloop (Except nitrogen oreo)
What am I doing wrong here? I am really getting desperate here.

First Update to latest twrp 3.2.1 .

If u unofficially unlocked then flash without emmc file.

I already tried twrp 3.2.1. Yesterday I also tried flashing global beta firmware. I unlocked mine unfoficially so I flashed without emmc. Unfortunately that didn't change anything. After that I just flashed with emmc (wasn't completely sure if I unlocked it unofically). As a result I couldn't start my os and twrp anymore. Bootloader was locked again. I unlocked it in edl mode again and flashed RR. After that it finally worked. I was so surprised. I have no idea why flashing without emmc didn't change anything but after a lot of struggle it worked at least.
Thanks for your reply that seems to be the correct solution. It would be kind of nice if more custom rom threads would mention that you need a new firmware because some people like may not know that.

Lol..you are cute.
You should know that officially unlocking and unofficial unlocking is not same thing.
Emmc file is bootloader update. Flashing firmware with emmc file will update both firmware and bootloader partition
Only officially unlocked devices can flash emmc file without bricking thier phones and relocking. So better officially unlock ur device to update emmc in future.
Which unofficial method did you try that worked?
I dont think Xiaomi will fix my unlock issue any soon so maybe will try other methods
Possibly i got issues with my account since been using the same with old device as well and messed up a lot

Please help me guys cant install N,O & P rom's

hi guys i was on havoc pie with orange fox twrp and 8.7.3 firmware and i wish to try msm extended pie (which i got from a source i dont want to mention as i dont want to blame anyone) with a new firmware (i dont remember version) it also contained emmc_appsboot.mbn and i flashed it and got my boot loader locked (i have officially unlocked last year) and in hurry to fix it (my phone is imp to me) i flashed fastboot rom (and unofficially unlocked it) now i can only use fastboot rom which is LP or cm13 no other roms are booting. tried all twrp tried lazy flasher but nothing works PLS if anyone can help PLS reply.
Actually all roms are getting installed phone boots boot animation get started later it get dim to like to start OS (phone vibrates as sign of booting but again boot animation gets brighter and again it goes on happening like bootloop)
Go to edl flash latest miui 9 fastboot from there clean everything, install twrp with locked bootloader then flash lazyflasher if you want to stay in miui or flash anything else you want.
