If you officially unlocked the bootloader, then used alka twrp to flash any stock from without any patched. Alka twrp: http://en.miui.com/thread-282773-1-1.html?mobile=2 or coffee twrp, Cofface twrp: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3369341, I personally preferred alka twrp.
If unlocked unofficially then used: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3371667

redmi note 3 from cm13 to miui 8!!!

HI! I am using the redmi note 3 snapdragon variant,and i have unlocked my bootloader unofficially and curretly using cm13 rom.
I want to swith back to stock miui rom,i.e miui 8 ,bt i read that directly flashing the rom will relock my bootloader and brick my phone.I have lazy patcher and twrp installed in my phone.How to switch back to stock rom without relocking my bootloader since root access is very imp. for me.
Thank you.
Official unlock is better than unofficial unlock.. Try to flash latest global stable via MiFlash, and unlock it.. If 50% error appear, try to flash global beta and then unlock again..

Hi, according to this thread
Cofface is not recommended for unofficial unlocked bootloader
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67505475&postcount=2
Yet cofface is required for flashing to marshmallow roms. So can I get some confirmation here if it can be used for unofficially unlocked bootloader?

you may want to use the "safe twrp" version. its a variant of coface which ensures you dont flash the emmc file. however since you have CM13 which has its own firmware files.. i think you should go the EDL method and use the patched emmc file. refer this http://en.miui.com/thread-253680-1-1.html

Yet he also mentions

• Patches boot.img automatically, no need to flash UBP Zip after flashing MIUI Recovery ROM Zip.
• Users with official unlocked bootloader can use this TWRP tp flash custom ROMs as well MIUI ROM Zips.
• Users with unofficial unlocked bootloader should strictly not use this TWRP for flashing MIUI Recovery ROM Zip.

Un-Official Unlocked Bootloader Users should use:

I'd appreciate if anyone can clarify if marshmallow MIUI rom for redmi note 3 can be flashed with safe twrp or cofface twrp for unofficial unlock bootloader.

Indeed it is very confusing with various twrp's around..I wish there was only one CWM or TWRP which could flash any rom..
TBH I have also officially unlocked BL, but looking @ various threads daily I am yet to flash TWRP..
It's very confusing & afraid that I would brick my device..:crying:

There is a MM specific emmc file (patched)..look for that on miui forums and follow the steps . I can send you the link later. It will still be unlocked since you are using a patched file. But u will lose your recovery since you are flashing everything stock. So you got to flash safe twrp again after flashing the rom through fastboot. It's just like flashing the LL rom but with a different emmc file.
Alternatively you could use safe twrp as well but I am not 100℅ confident since MM has different firmware/ partitions so I dont know if it will work or not. There are too many users reporting various issues such as bootloop, no sim detection etc etc.
If any experienced user can write a detailed guide for upgrading from miui LL to MM on unofficial unlock using safe twrp, that will be great. Until then use EDL (but backup ALL partitions using Alka twrp before you start)

Hi, so I take the it steps are similar to edl method you posted earlier except that I have to replace the emmc patched files with mm version instead and start flashing the MM miui v8 rom.
I'd appreciate if you could share the link since I'm not sure where to find it.

Ok, use stock recovery for OOS 2.2.x to flash OOS 3.1.4 found here: http://oxygenos.oneplus.net.s3.amazonaws.com/OPX_recovery.img
2.
Then after you have flashed OOS 3.1.4 you flash this twrp recovery by blu_spark for the new bootloader found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=20236
3.
Then in the new twrp by blu_spark you flash a modified SuperSU provided by me:

Did you read the answer given.
No, the safer way is to use the OOS 2 recovery.
Or use the guide on the topic of the rom you want to install :

ok go here and use the guide to update your BL,and while you are flashing the OPXBLupdater.zip flash MOoSv3.zip after it.Then flash the recovery as stated in guide.
This way you'll be upgraded to new BL along with the MOoS.:good:
Note: remember to wipe your data and system partition before flashing the MOoS or else it'll bootloop.
Also please don't create unnecessary threads,if you could just have browsed the general section or the MOoS thread you should have been fine.

Hi, I followed this Guide to update bootloader and flash blu_spark twrp and Tesla N is installed on my OPX.
If I'm willing to flash 3.1.4 is it safe to flash oos 2.x.x recovery directly when I'm still on rooted custom rom??
Thanks in advance..
Official version here :

With the new bootloader and TWRP for it, you should be able to wipe all & flash full 3.1.4 rom zip.
But, I've seen people with relojed BL without reason .Just check it before proceeding.
Hi all,
I'm a bit of a Noob when it comes to this phone and rooting it, and i've been following a Rooting guide by theunlockr. My phone has stock 3.1.4 on it. I've installed adb on my PC and when flashing recovery.img (fastboot boot recovery.img), I get an error dtb not found. It appears that I need the modified TWRP.
So from fastboot, should I just be doing steps 2 and 3 in post #2 above ?
Sorry but I have no idea as to what bootloader I have. If necessary, how can I check this ?

You need to have an unlocked bootloader to use fastboot.
To verify, fastboot command is (you need to have your phone on fastboot mode and usb connected to the computer)
"fastboot devices"
It should retturn a number DFGKCK999
= it's OK, recognized
"fastboot oem device-info"
Should give 4 or 5 lines. One is Device unlocked "true" or "false"
If true, it's OK.
Just flash the recovery here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-x/development/unofficial-twrp-3-0-2-0-recovery-onyx-t3471584
Reboot directly to recovery with the buttons to be sure he's sticked
Thanks
And to root it, which version of SuperSU ?
Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk
Flash SR5 Super su version.
Link here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-x/general/discussion-how-to-root-oneplus-x-t3242830
I installed TWRP which worked OK but I have installed SuperSU v2.79 that you referred to and now I have a bootloop. What can I do ?
[EDIT] Needed the proper version on SuperSU found in post #2 here - https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/oos3-0-twrp-root-make-mm-great-again.440706/
In fact, the last post in the XDA link from Keno40 confirmed that SR5 didn't work. If only I had read that before getting close to heart failure !!!

How's your twrp different from @squid2 's ?

The first custom ROM i installed was AICP N from stock 6.0.1 . Then I kept switching between nougat ROMs, and even some alpha oreo ROMs. When stock 7.1.1 came out I installed it, kept for a while and then kept switching between custom ROMs again. Currently in LOS14.1 .

You need to use lineage recovery for ota support. Lineage is now more focused on lineage recovery than twrp. Older/newer twrp might or might not work.. Because lineage17 officially support lineage recovery.

Hi guys. I currently have built 3.1.1-r1.
I am having troubles installing LineageOS 17.1 weeklies.
Then I said, I need to update TWRP.
But, I already did data wipe on my phone.
Is it still possible to flash new TWRP? I find I only need to boot into fastboot, then fastboot flash recovery twrp.img and then back to recovery. Is that right?

Yes, that should work. Look here for more details on how to do it properly (just ignore the bit about LOS recovery if you need TWRP):

unfortunately not, the OTA update no longer destroys the LOS but the update script does not run. the phone boot into the twrp, that's it
for aööe who want to have OTA updates should switch to the lineage recovery. for all others who need a manual update, you can continue to use twrp

If you want to flash stock miui rom you must do it by fastboot by mi flash tool.
The last global stable is 10.2.3.0
Download the rom for mido from here. http://en.miui.com/a-234.html
