Hello guys,
Today i am going to unlock (Official way) my device and going to try AOSP 5.1.1 V4.
My doubt is
1) If i want to revert back to Miui, If i use fastboot rom and flash full rom, will this make my bootloader locked again.
2) If i flash miui recovery rom using twrp without modified boot.img and i dont want twrp and revert back to default miui recovery how to do so.....
3) If i change to miui recovery after flashing recovery rom with twrp do i again need to flash modified boot.img.
I suggest to make full recovery image of original miui. After clean install with full wipe i had problems with unlocking phone.

1) Yes
2) You cant, you will need TWRP, modded boot.img & MIUI ROM else it will bootloop
3) Yes
Ok , So I finally was able to unlock my bootloader after getting that 50 % error, I thought that I'd flash miui 8 , so I downloaded the rom from official mi website and flashed it with twrp but for some reason I got stuck in a bootloop. I dont want to download fastboot rom as it takes a lot of time due to slow internet, so could anyone tell me how can i successfully flash a rom from twrp. I've got bot miui 8 chinese developer rom and global beta rom downloaded.
You need patched boot for normal twrp or u must use cofface twrp to flash the rom.
You cant flash stock rom via twrp without patched boot.img
And if you are flashing marshmallow rom u must know that the bootloader will lock itself again.
Why not just flash the miui.eu version? No boot image mess..

Edit : The recovery worked. Thanx.
where can I find a patched boot.img for latest chinese developer rom.Thanx for the fast reply.
Just use cofface recovery for stock roms:

I think that the Alca recovery do the same, but I haven't test it yet

Thanks. Problem solved.
Hello all
I have been using CM13 so far on my Redmi Note 3 (Snapdragon). I would like to flash official Miui 8 recovery ROM. I have "twrp cofface" recovery. However, whenever I try to flash the .zip via my twrp recovery, it re-locks the bootloader and replaces my twrp with stock recovery and effectively the phone goes into boot loop.
I have unlocked my bootloader officially. Could anyone tell me how do I flash Miui ROM from TWRP recovery? Do I need another variant of the TWRP? I dont want to flash Miui ROM via fastboot as it would involve installing mi flashing tool. Is it possible to flash Miui via twrp without re-locking bootloader and also keeping the custom recovery?
Thanks.
I just found out I need to flash alka twrp. I did so and now I can flash Miui 8 without any problems. Please close this thread. Thanks.
I have Kate with miui 10.2 global stable and I want to flash mokee rom for kenzo on it what steps should I follow after unlock bootloader and flash zcx twrp and what about frimware does the kenzo ROM will make problems with network for Kate ? should I flash the frimware first after wipe data and system then flash the ROM then gapps ?

Make sure u come from latest miui 10 stable
If u unlocked boot loader unofficially and zcx
then first replace ur zcx twrp with latest twrp. Then u can flash custom roms and gapps.
U dont need any firmware Before flashing custom roms.
Just format data
Wipe data reset
Flash rom and gapps.
Reboot.
If u try to flash those 50mb size miui firmware zip using twrp then u will brick ur phone coz u r unofficially unlocked. So get rid of that firmware fever from ur head. U dont need any.
In case if u feel like going again back to miui global rom then put ur phone in EDL mode and flash kate fastboot global rom using computer and miflashtool.

Better use official TWRP, Orangefox or Redwolf recovery
No need to flash firmware as you're already on MIUI 10.2
Just wipe system, data, also format data & proceed to flash the rom
Thanks for the help guys

Can you help me? This is for Kenzo
I had softbricked? my phone. Went through the process of installing the MIUI 10 fastboot rom but it required activation which I can't do as I forgot my login details (i bought this phone years ago)
Yesterday I managed to unlock unofficially using this method
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66379587&postcount=3
Didn't install 7.1.8, just 7.2.5, followed the instructions, was able to enable oem-unlock and usb debugging, confirmed bootloader was unlocked
Flashed the latest twrp, tried zwcx, lastly tried the latest orangefox
Tried flashing AOSPextended nougat and viper os nougat with various recoveries but they were stuck at the logo for the corresponding roms
I am not sure...do I have to do anything with that boot.img patcher? And if so, when would I flash it?
Went through the same steps again. Same result. All roms get stuck on the custom boot animation
edit:nevermind, flashed that unlocked bootloader rn3_unlockonly in miflash and it booted up

There is an updated guide to unlock unofficially on MIUI 9 with new bootloader.
The problem was you unlocked on older version of MIUI.
To recover password try to visit mi cloud & check if you can do something or forget & use custom roms as there's nothing good about MIUI.

Ah, yes I didn't know that the process was different now. I was just trying to do the Mi Unlock thing in order to flash these custom roms, not gonna use MIUI.

You already have the bootloader unlocked right so proceed to flash TWRP with fastboot commands
