I try, but whatever version of miui i flash it stuck on boot and keep restarting

first of all you will have to tell that can you access fastboot. if yes then you can flash miui rom through mi flash application..

If you have Unlocked BOOTLOADER then just flash twrp . Wipe all partition ,format data . And flash any rom for your device .

Yea i have unlocked bootloader, anyway i try flash through EDL too (just in case), and mi flash application.
I try too flash throught TWRP some roms (Miui versions, Lineage OS, Resurreccion ) doing all kind of wipe and flashing dm-verify too
In all cases, i stuck on boot animation depending the OS.
Im running out of ideas, i will try to flash throught ADB sideload now
This is strange, maybe i have a differente phone than redmi note 4x or maybe phone really f**k off
There is some way to see the Specs of my phone from the PC? to see if its really a redmi note 4 snapdragon (again, just in case)

Wait, you still have TWRP installed right? If so, try flashing firmware zip then flash any ROM +Gapps, Reboot. Inb4 wipe.

Boot stuck again :crying:
i did as you say but it keep stuck
That firmware is for miui 9 right? maybe i should flash miui 9

Bro.. flash all the partition one by one from CMD through fastboot. You must flash The Official rom pack

I solved the problem, just remove all partitions from /Dev/block/mmcblk0 (couse was corrupted)(with adb Shell) and flash a old miui version in EDL Mode

Did you try lazy flasher

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

Get a custom recovery to wipe all partitions out. There might be an easy way out but you'd want to prefer a clean flash after this. And did you use EDL before unlocking?

hmm without unlocked bootloader I can't flash a custom recovery and there is no option to flash a custom recovery using another method(so I used EDL method),
and no I didn't use EDL before unlocking,
I used EDL because I there was no way to flash ROM on my phone!
THANKS, BRO!
SOMEONE RESPONDED!:good:

That is quite a bad state that you have gotten yourself into. If you can reboot into bootloader, you can wipe every partition and flash a fastboot image of MIUI ROM to get it back to work. Remember to be specific about IMG files as they can make/break your system. You have a soft brick now but selecting a wrong IMG file can result a hard brick.
Any Updates ?

Unofficially unlocking bootloader

Hello! I am a Redmi Note 3 user, some days ago I changed from stable to beta ROM and spoiled my device. All the sensors are not working and can't apply for unlocking bootloader. Please suggest me an unofficial method to unlock bootloader and install custom recovery. Hope you guys will help me soon! Thanks

Sensor not working then May be something wrong with persist partition.
Did u manually downloaded recovery rom from mi site.?
Why miui 9? Latest beta is miui 10 . go to system updater app and press update to upgrade to latest miui 10 beta version.
I think latest beta is 8.10.11 something.

When I installed, I got miui 10 and stuck in the problem so I tried to install stable therefore I am now again in miui 9.

So u on miui 9 stable?
U stuck during upgrading miui10 coz u must factory reset. Sometime rom cant boot due to data partition and apps.
So need to clear user data to succesfully boot on upgrade. So u must factory reset to clear data partition. Else u will face problems. or bootloop while upgrade.
So if I just want to do the repair sensor stuff, what shall I do?
I did install TWRP but couldn't install any custom ROM, all stuck in bootloop!
What shall I do?

Just extract the persist.img file from fastboot rom.
Put the device in fastboot mode or if it doesnt work then put in edl mode and flash.
And flash using fastboot command
fastboot devices
fasboot erase persist
fastboot flash persist persist.img
fastboot reboot
Or
easy method
u can just flash persist.img file using TWRP. if twrp ask which parttion to flash then select persist partition.

That should be fine. What was the last thing that you flashed before this started? That is where you need to start looking.
I just normally update miui and it done via stock miui recovery

It seems that the updater has borked something, but I am not sure how the stock MIUI recovery could bork things in this way. You would normally recover from such a situation by flashing a fastboot MIUI ROM, but it seems that you don't have this option because of the state of your bootloader.
You might well have to do some rather drastic stuff.
I also try to open fastboot mode in another redmi note 4 (mido) with same miui version here same issues is shown

I never had such a problem with that MIUI version. But then I never did any OTA updates with the MIUI updater + MIUI recovery, so I don't know.
I don't remember what kind of things you can do with stock recovery - but you might want to flash another MIUI ROM with it if you can do such a thing with stock recovery. If not, then you are truly stuck, unless you are willing to take some rather drastic (and risky) action (eg, if you can somehow enter EDL mode - or you could try flashing a custom recovery img using an app like flashify, and if that works, then you can flash another firmware zip or another ROM).

Question Can i downgrade from miui 13 to 12 without loosing data?

I should have been more careful before updating coz after the update i realized that twrp won't work on miui 13. I can fastboot recovery but the internal storage is encrypted and it shows 0 MB. I need root, so i am thinking of downgrading to 12.5 again. Can i do that without loosing data? Also how can i downgrade? Should i just download fastboot version of the rom and update it?

you can't update from 13 to 12.5 you need to erase all your data , it's mandatory...
Just flash the fastboot rom with Mi Flash and tick "Clean All" so after MIUI boot you can flash twrp and other ROM again
Already messed it up :-( Can you please tell me which fastboot rom i should flash... I was using eu rom but even after flashing it phone boots to mi recovery.
Hey, yesterday I flashed xiaomi eu stable MIUI 13.0.3 by their script.
To do it,
1) put the phone in fastboot mode
2) just run the script by double clicking on it, however you need the file with data_format on the end.
If your phone does bootloop and go back to MIUI Recovery 5.0 like mine did yesterday, you can fix it by wiping all data in this recovery it boots up to and then restarting the phone. It worked for me and my friend.

I didnt know this.. I won't go to MIUI 13 again coz there are no recoveries for it and it cant be decrypted for now but its good to know that i dont need recovery for root. Thank you!
I installed today CherishOS A12. Tbh cool rom, doesn't work that bad. A lot better than miui though. Animations are nice and long, plus the phone is fast.
