Hello,
I have an issue with my redmi note 4 (global version). I used an app, hidden settings apk to try and adjust the band so I could use another network on it. Now my sim 1 has stopped working ever since and the app has no way of resetting to default. Please is there a way I can resolve this and get my phone working again.

Thanks. I will really like to use 2 Sims, hence my asking. Can you put me through on how to reflash stock rom as I am a novice on this
1. Do you have bootloader unlocked?
2. Do you have twrp installed?
3. What rom and version are you installed?

I have bootloader unlocked but no twrp installed. I use Stock ROM, MIUI 9.2
There are tons of videos on YouTube which will help you reflash the original global ROM , make sure download the proper ROM ( Snapdragon/ mediatek) , install twrp with the help of a pc for best results

UPDATE: I flashed the phone using fastboot, I believe that can work? Although I flashed the miui rom version 9 (updated version). I am just getting to know that STOCK rom means the rom that came with the phone when I purchased it. So if I flash it with stock rom, it will work?

Not fastboot , you should have a recovery from where you can wipe data and install roms , yes the old system memory will be lost ( of the sim one which you have tweaked ) there fore it'll start normal and it'll be working
See 1) how to unlock bootloader
2) how to install custom recovery for your device
3) how to install global ROM through that custom recovery

Thanks. I believe what is listed is what I need to read up. When you say "you should have a recovery from where you can wipe data and install roms" I get confused. Do you mean I most have a recovery file? Also my bootloader is unlocked so I guess it's 2 and 3 that is left.

You enter recovery by holding power and volume up button it's a place where you can change roms and kernels and mostly install anything, it's not a file , it has a interface (basic) just see on YouTube how to use twrp , but you have to 1st unlock bootloader , follow the steps I gave with the help of YouTube

Issues with Rom Flashing... "Install update.zip signature verification failed"
Hello
I am new in the World of Xiaomi and MIUI
I bought a Redmi Note 2 and it had the Oppomart MIUI-Version ist 66.77.33.00 (LHMCNCH)I Stable on it. I am a german user.
I found out that the Rom was not official and it contained useless apps and I couldnt use root either. So I wanted to flash different Roms. After some tries and researches I could flash an inofficial german Rom. But with that I couldnt use Xposed Installer so I wanted an original Rom. I flashed miui_HMNote2_5.10.15_8097474ec2_5.0. But that seems to be completely for chinese users. You can choose english language but there is no google account and no google apps. No play store, nothing. just chinese browsers, chinese apps and the MI Store completely in, guess what, chinese.
And now I cannot flash any Rom. I tried to go back to other Roms, like the german miuidecuro_REDMINOTE2_5.9.24_5.0 that i used before but nothing worked. I keep getting an error telling me "Install update.zip signature verification failed" I wiped all data, made a factory reset but nothing worked. I would even be happy to have the oppomart version back. It was annoying but had at least the playstore
Please help me

Is it possible to use Stock Android on the note 2 instead of MIUI?

Xioami has started to use licence or something for their roms. So multilanguage rom cant acceptable anymore on orginal system. Twrp is recovery mod for Android devices. Its very simple to install and use. And no you cant. Because nobody doesnt make any stable aosp or something rom. We are waiting.
mee to.
put rom file into internal sotrage, then update ok.
Visit TWRP by going to install and then there must be a hack because you have to do away
Ok. Is there a TWRP App for all phones or does it have to be for Redmi Note 2?
I download the apk, put it on the SD Card and install it from there, is that right? Can I flash the hermes rom from there for Europe?
I never did that so I really have no clue how to do that. The phone is nearly useless right now. I gotta fix this somehow. Thanks for everyone who helps

Hi.
Cant you install a rooted stock rom with stock recovery? Then you need the right TWRP for our phone.
Heres one place where you can find it. http://www.mediafire.com/download/6sf0fsm8vx2o948/twrp287.zip
First try flash it with Mi recovery.
If not you need to download an app from playstore "flashify" with it you flash TWRP. You need a img file so you may have to unzip the recovery.zip
I have flashed Xiaomi.EU 5.10.8 Weekly which is rock stable. You should flash Chainfires last Supersu and install Google Now Launcher if you like something more "stock" and have a appdrawer..
Thanks
Knievel
...
Ok thanks I will try that. A few hours ago I managed to flash the xiaomi.eu european version of the 5.10.15. Can I stll flash Roms with that?
Another problem is that I cannot use Xposed Installer and google now launcher. Is that normal?

ok good.
Then i would go to play store an download Flashify . Unzip the TWRP zip, and flash the recovery.img with flashify.
You can also backup kernel and recovery with this app. Its very easy and straight forward.
When you got flashed TWRP , use a file explorer with root privileges and delete the file "recovery-from-boot.bak" placed in System folder. If not you may loose TWRP after reboot.
TWRP is vital so you can make an nandroid backup of everything if/when something goes wrong. And of course flash everything else.
About Google Now Launcher, flash last Supersu zip from Chainfire in TWRP. Then you get permission to change default launcher.
I dont use Xposed for now so you have to Google it.
Only thing i miss is "Reboot to recovery" option, but a lot of apps can do this.
Thanks
Knievel

Ok thanks, I downloaded it. What exactly is the difference between Boot Image and Recovery Image?
Is there an AOSP Rom you can recommend? I really want to get rid of MIUI.

Hi.
Boot image here is kernel.
Im no big fan of Miui myself , but with the right launcher its quite ok.
I have tried a couple of the aosp roms here on Xda . Find them a little buggy, and battery life isnt very good either compared to Miui.
If/when Xiaomi release all needed sources, i think we will get good and stable Aosp and CM roms to flash too.
Thanks
Knievel

Yes I don't like it either. But there are too many bugs in the Custom Roms. I just want a bug free Rom where I can use xposed

Just unzip the twrp zip. You can do it with a Root Explorer. Then you get a img file.
This img file you can flash with an app called Flazhify ( Google play Store, its free ).

Hi,
My phone came with 7.00.66 and it's not rooted. I tried to flash xiaomi eu roms via updater app, but it failed several times.
Also i tried to install twrp via updater app, but it also failed. Can you help me please. :crying:
I was thinking to do this:
1) flash official developer rom via updater app, and hopefully it won't show error, because it is official rom , and it is rooted (?)
2) flash twrp using this method
HOW TO FLASH TWRP RECOVERY VIA FLASHIFY
Warning: Redmi note 2 only (other phone need specific image)
Me and this forum are not responsable for any damage. Do at your own risk
1. download flashify app from playstore and give root acces
2. download img of twrp for redmi 2 note and put in your sd card (I prefer sdext root folder)
3. Open flashify, select "recovery image", find the img file you've downloaded
4. confirm flash, wait until it's done
5. you're now ready to reboot in twrp pressing "reboot now" from flashify.
you can also turn off your phone, press power and volume up and you'll be in twrp.
3) install xiaomi eu rom with twrp
Is this correct way?
If I flash TWRP using this method:

Do you have an unlocked bootloader? You need to check in fastboot mode, by typing in fastboot oem device-info
you may have to boot straight to recovery, or the recovery image may get overwritten
my bootloader is locked.i think above method is for locked bootloader.right.i pressed power+volume up right after flashing(after disconnecting cable),phone showed mi logo and then after 5-6 seconds its showing to connect cable again. also when i use miflash tool to unlock bootloader.its not showing advanced menu in miflash tool.any solutionfor that too.my desktop is windows 7 32 bit os.do i need a 64 bit os to get all options in miflash tool.pls any solution.

I can't write you a detailed step-by-step guide because my English is not so perfect, but: you need to install the Global/Chinese Developer rom. Must be Developer rom, but you can choose which of them (Chinese or Global).
I made it with Global Developer, so I can confirm that this method perfectly works.
Luck!

I have a few questions re TWRP:
1.
Are there different versions available for the X720? If yes, which ones (including download link)?
I believe that I have installed this one ( https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862668751 ) which seems to differ from this one: http://www.needrom.com/download/twrp-leeco-le-pro-3/
2.
How are the partitions organized on the Le Pro 3? See also http://forum.xda-developers.com/le-pro3/development/ref-lex720-64gb-partition-infos-t3493528
What is the difference between system and systemimage (as shown in TWRP)?
3.
Does the Le Pro 3 TWRP port still have any bugs?
For instance, it says that system is not mounted and, therefore, I cannot easily restore system partition. I tried to mount it but thereafter the phone did not boot.
Is it normal that system apps get restored if I only restore the data partion?
Thanks.

Sometimes I have the same problem, /system couldn't be mounted.
I solved it like this:

On my x720 I use another one, the latest V4 from chinese sites :
https://mega.nz/#!EVcUCY4J!nN9r170x1eL9uvZg2p4h-q_M9T3I3HxcdSRigl2DNj4
I have now installed TWRP v4 but still have problems to restore a backup.
First, I backed up everything. I tried to restore boot, system, systemimage and data. I did not restore efs, recovery and firmware. Do I have to restore firmware? What is that? What is the difference between system and system image? In any case, I got a lot of errors and the phone is very slow after I restored boot, system, systemimage and data.
Thanks!
The TWRP versions I tried (including v4) have problems and do not reliably mount my encrypted data partition. (I had a similar problem with the initial TWRP ports for the Elephone P8000. The problems were fixed and subsequent ports worked without problems.)
Moreover, if I boot into TWRP recovery the screen is flickering from time to time (probably just a cosmetic issue).
Is there an updated TWRP version 5 or something? Could you please link to the Chinese website where the TWRP port for the LePro3 is made available? Thanks!
I am trying to unlock the bootloader right now using the fastboot oem unlock-go command and it is not working on the US variety. I have also enabled the oem unlocking in dev options, as well as, debugging. Has the US variant changed things to prevent the bootloader from being unlocked?

Unlocking Bootloader1. Make sure you have a sim and active mobile data. Then go to about phone tap build number 7-8 times. After that go to advanced settings > developer options > turn on OEM unlocking and then check if this device is secure and click add account and device.
2. Download Mi unlock tool from here. Extract it and paste it in C:/unlock. or else your device won't be recognized for unlocking.
3. Open Mi unlock tool and then enter the Mi account which was on your device. Put your device in fastboot mode by pressing vol- and power and then connect to PC. Press unlock and if it tells you to wait you have no other option but to wait. If your mi flash tool shows connect your device even after you have connected it. Follow this guide here.
4. After you have unlocked your bootloader reboot your phone.
Flashing TWRP and Rooting via magisk
1. Download this TWRP image here. Thanks to the original developer mauronofrio.
2. Download adb and fastboot tools here and install it.
3. Now put your phone in fastboot mode and connect it with your pc. Now where you have downloaded the TWRP file rename it to TWRP.img and open a CMD window there if you don't know how just google.
4. Type the following commands
1. fastboot devices
2. fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img
3. fastboot reboot recovery.

5. Your phone will boot into TWRP now. But TWRP will be overwritten by stock miui recovery to stop that you need to flash Magisk. Download this zip move it to internal storage then flash by tapping on install and swipe to flash. Reboot your device. Reboot to recovery again to check if TWRP is present.
Now your device is rooted
OR
Flash latest OrangeFox Recovery if you don't want magisk.

Flashing a custom rom is optional. You don't NEED to flash a rom to get TWRP...
---------- Post added at 06:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:46 PM ----------
I've unlocked the bootloader using the unlock tool and waited for 7 days,
But i rooted the device using a different method where i patched a boot.img and flashed that to the device.
Will this method still work for me as I'm already rooted but just want TWRP so i can flash other ROMs.. The post says you have to flash magisk from the (temporary) TWRP for the TWRP to stay as the recovery..
Will the magisk on my phone and the magisk installed here collide?
I just want TWRP so i can switch to a custom rom, so any input is appreciated!!

Will this method still work for me as I'm already rooted but just want TWRP so i can flash other ROMs.. The post says you have to flash magisk from the (temporary) TWRP for the TWRP to stay as the recovery..
Will the magisk on my phone and the magisk installed here collide?
I just want TWRP so i can switch to a custom rom, so any input is appreciated!!

You can flash twrp and then check if it persists. If not flash magisk again their is no thing as magisk colliding lol. Just make sure you flash a newer version. And if nothing works flash stock rom and then twrp.
If you have the stock boot IMG flash it and then intsall twrp and magisk.

Flashing a custom rom is optional. You don't NEED to flash a rom to get TWRP...

Haha, makes sense! Thank you for your answers
Nevermind.. i got it to work pretty easily..
I have twrp on this device and Pixel Experience ROM and it's working all fine..
But there's this one thing where when booting to recovery, it asks me to input a password for User(0) when i try to input anything it says password failed..
From reading the log, it says it's for decrypting data(8f I'm not mistaken)
Is this important? Do i need to decrypt it?
Currently the ROM works fine with no errors, so I'm not gonna bother, but would still like to know what this "decrypting" thing is..

Yes, If you use a lock screen enter that password it will be decrypted. You will have to format data if you decide to flash any other rom anyway.

Hey buddy, thank you for this quick step-by-step guide. I flash ROMs since 2012 and you know what? It helped me the same. Having all stuff needed for go from stock to custom concentrated in one place (plus some useful tip like the Magisk flash at the end) it's always useful and time-saving. Thank you
2 Micro-notes about fastboot btw:
- write 'fastboot (with lowered 'f'): it may confuse some newbie
- it's 'reboot' instead of 'boot'
Hello XDA developers, I'm in urgent and I have a really big problem. It sounds funny but, I deleted my realme ui recovery ,_,
I was trying to install PPUI 4.1 on my Realme 7 but I saw a tutorial that you have to erase the recovery to install TWRP. Please, I need a solution of how can I get it back. I also tried flashing a lot of recoveries and their vbmeta but nothing works. Sadly.
Edit: I'm on RMX2151_11_C.17 | Realme UI 2.0 Latest version
Here is the stock recovery

You sure? I'm on RMUI2.0 and how do I flash it? Can I type 'fastboot boot recovery.img'? Are my data will be wiped?
Sorry for a lot of questions, haha

From what I read before, fastboot boot will only boot to that recovery file temporarily but I haven't tried it myself. It should be
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
I'm not 100% sure it will work without problems, but if it did, your data will not be wiped.
I suggest you wait for someone else to answer coz I'm not expert. I only learned from guides in the telegram group.

You can try, first, if fastboot works in your device, type adb reboot fastboot, once the script ends, quickly disconnect device from your PC and again reconnect it, you will be redirected to fastboot, if the bootloader is unlocked, you could flash it using fastboot commands.
If you can´t get it to work then you can flash it using SPFT https://spflashtool.com/, put the recovery, in the same folder, with the attached files. All the sources to can use the tool, here https://www.getdroidtips.com/bypass-mediateks-sp-flash-tool-authentication-protection/

I have never used SPFlashTool before honestly, I'm just scared to break my phone or lost my data in it. I just wish to install a custom ROM

Most of the custom roms I've seen requires formatting data. Just to be sure have you unlocked bootloader already? That requires wiping data iirc.
If not then nothing will really work with what you're doing.

What you are saying now is totally different from what you firstly posted.
Installing a custom ROM doesn't require a stock recovery (just in case you are confusing), and obviously, to can switch from a stock ROM to a custom ROM, that has a total different basement, it's mandatory to format data, anyway, you should back up your data previously to do so.

Then you can root your phone 1st then backup your files to a computer and use migrate backup to backup app data. Note that migrate backup is limited to 4gb. Then do the fastboot flash i mentioned before

Why you are saying that you cannot install a working recovery, I don't know of any attempt you did to achieve it.
A stock recovery is not needed to install a custom ROM, and even you can't install a custom ROM using a stock recovery.
If you want to join, flashing your device and stuff like this, better learn how to use SPFT, also you have this tool https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient, this can save your device, if something in the process goes wrong.

OK, then what you are trying to install is an "old" Android 10 based ROM, if this is the case, then just download a stock Android 10 ROM, flash it through SPFT, then use SPFT to flash the custom recovery, transfer the custom ROM to your external SD Card (preferably) or sideload it, through recovery, and flash it. In the process you need to unlock bootloader, and immediately to flash the custom recovery, boot to it, using hardware buttons.

Alright so, it might sound funny but I think I fixed it. I was playing with my downloaded recoveries until I downloaded the stock recovery, it is compatible but when I do fastboot reboot recovery I get stuck at Orange State for like 30min and it boots me into the recovery so does anyone know a solution for this? And thank you for everything and sorry for wasting y'all's time. Sincereley.

You have to boot to recovery using hardware buttons (PWR + vol. down), in regard to orange state, this is absolutely normal when bootloader was unlocked, it's not an issue but a cosmetic thing.
