So I was on MIUI 7 with unlocked bootloader, custom recovery (twrp) and rooted. I wanted to try MIUI 8 so I downloaded the zip version from MIUI website and moved it to my phone then I go to custom recovery. I flashed the rom and before the flashing completed there was a red line of error code saying
'cannot mount /factory'
I thought that kind of error can be ignored but I guess I was wrong and now my phone stuck in MI logo.
I can still go to fastboot,
I can go to recovery,
I don't know how can i go to EDL to reflash with miflash,
when I tried going into fastboot and using adb, no devices detected.
Is this the end of my redmi note 3 life or is there a way ? Please, any help is greatly appreciated.
n.b :
It's redmi note 3 snapdragon version.

Exactly. Sound like your drivers aren't installed correctly. After that you should be able to flash the phone.

That is very awesome! I just finished reflashing back to global stable with mi flash, thank you very much!
So the problems are on my driver? not on the twrp source file or maybe the modded boot img ? because I thought that I forgot to modify the boot.img before flashing twrp
I was read https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html. That link describe how to install Magisk in our device in few ways. I was interested "Boot Image Patching" section that tell us about rooting device without TWRP.
Before this, I have 5 redmi devices and 3 of it were rooted-well via TWRP. 1 bricked (totally bricked) :laugh: and 1 still un-rooted (Redmi 6A-cactus).
My spec of Redmi 6A are:
Security Level Patch: 2019-03-01
MIUI Version: Global Stable 10.2.8.0 (oCBMIXM)
Unlocked: False (i know that i should unlocked it later, i still waiting my 360 hours )
RAM: 2GB
Storage: 16GB
Since i found that link, i still wondering and keep searching about: "is anybody succesfull root their device (especially Redmi 6A with same spec above) with "Boot Image Patching" way?
if any, please let me know. i just want to hear their review and (of course) their experience.
thanks
Yes, i got it working but i still recommend the TWRP method, but if you're still interested, be careful, don't disable the forceencrypt while patching, you can disable dm-verity but DO NOT disable the forceencrypt or you'll lose IMEI/Baseband.
Anyway, this is the patched_boot.img i've used (extracted from the latest V10.2.8.0.OCBMIXM rom).
https://www80.zippyshare.com/v/2zWEXIcM/file.html
Repeating, i still prefer the TWRP method, be careful.

Hi @jonaaa, its me again..
i was success root my 6a with patched_boot.img. but i've got problem when i installing systemless xposed. Xposed Zip successfully installed, but when i tried to install Xposed Manager then reboot, i got stuck in mi logo. i've been trying for 3 times and getting frustrated
now i decided to install twrp and (again) i got stuck in encryption problem. most of google result said that data partition should be formatted and that dont make any sense for me. how could i formatting data partition while that partition is untouchable.
so i wanna ask you: how you get rid from twrp encrypt-decrypt problem?

Forget it..
My step was wrong. i was ignoring "fastboot format userdata" command in first and install twrp directly...
thanks for your suggestion :good:

i dont recommend to use my step, because right now i even dont have twrp in my redmi 6a. In other word, im failed.
UBL
Enabling Developer Option
Entry Fastboot mode
fastboot devices (to check it's connected well with pc)
fastboot format userdata
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.3.0.0.img
fastboot boot twrp-3.3.0.0.img
For a while, i was able to entry twrp without any password asked and installing magisk (magisk-19.0.zip) smoothly.
But, when i rebooting, i've got stuck at mi logo (i've been wait more than 40 minutes and still at mi logo). When i tried to Volume Up + Power, just nothing happened but back to mi logo and stuck again (and more 40 minutes :silly:).
and finally i did install fastboot-rom from scratch... :laugh::laugh: and since that, twrp wont installed on my redmi even i flash fastboot-rom again and again. Till now i still wondering why and not found the answer yet.

My IMEI/Baseband are gone, when I install xposed framework and reboot it's stuck in MI logo, and I tried factory reset from my original MI recovery, it's fix the bootloop but my IMEI/Baseband are gone.... Do you know how to fix it? I spend my time searching to fix it and no result. And I tried flash stock ROM too and no result. Hope you know how fix my issue, thanks!!

Someone said to encrypt the data on settings, i don't know how though, if you fix it, next time, don't disable the forceencrypt.
Can you post questions in the questions and answers section next time?
i was looking around on how to flash twrp but theres no clear guide on how to do it. i keep noticing people said dont disable verity, they didn't mentioned where and when not to disable it.
because after we flash twrp, we boot to twrp. then what?

Uhh... just flash the TWRP and you're done.
The dm-verity removal is necessary if you want to install any GSI.

well i got this issue after flash twrp. after boot and reboot
i got this annyoing android system error, contact manufacturer for detail.
I have a similar problem
I was rooting my redmi 6a and now its bricked
First i intall the twrp, then i flash the Magisk with DisableEncryption, the first boot work fine, i update the magisk app and the new version isnt compatible with the magisk installed
Well i repeat the steps and then i lost the signal, in that moment i didnt know it is the IMEI lost, then i try to install Lineage OS 15.1 GSI for Redmi6a cause i think that is the solution
but the system dont boot, only boot the Xiaomi Tittle with "unlocked" (I unlock the phone before) and then get me to TWRP
Im only one with this problem?
I try use the MiFlashTool for flash the stock rom but not work, now im trying with MiFlashTool flash the MIUI9 and MIUI10.2 and other versions
I think, the problem maybe is the Boot.img
(Sorry for my bad English)
Edit-
I dont have any backup lol

This "contact manufacturer" error happens when you disable dm-verity, you can install Magisk without disabling it.

Just make sure that you flash Fastboot ROM, not just STOCK ROM. I did that last time when my IMEI/Baseband are gone. Of course it will wipe all of your data. Just be prepare for it.. :laugh:

that just un-official TWRP, right??
i will try that in this weekend. Last time i remember that i can not boot into twrp. Till now, my devices still unrooted. I flash it back to stock ROM. But, when OTA update notification comes and reboot for installing, it give me bootloop into twrp (not to system), and that's mean my TWRP still inside i just cannot boot into.
so, i'll try that TWRP-1020 this weekend. Thanks.
Okay, I have been looking everywhere... Is Official TWRP out for Note 9 yet? I dont want to install unofficial ROM, and compiling my own version is too much time. If its out, can someone throw me with a link? If not, what do you think, when will they upload it?
Thanks for you answers.

No, no official TWRP out there, yet. I don't know for the RN9 (merlin), but for the RN9s/Pro India (curtana) there are LR TWRP, LOS recovery and PBRP out. For the RN9Pro global (joyeuse) and RN9ProMAX(excalibur) only PBRP.
Don't flash a recovery for curtana on a joyeuse or an excalibur! It could hardbrick the phone and only a service centre or a MI account with special rights to flash in EDL mode (which Xiaomi doesn't give out anymore) would be able to fix that!
There are already many ROMs for the curtana out there, but for the others only a few.
For the RN9(merlin) is a sperate forum here on XDA.
Tried all sorts, none worked.
Until I found this.
https://www.cyanogenmods.org/twrp-recovery-redmi-note-9-pro/
Offered there for Redmi Note 9 Pro / 9s [curtana]
But also works on my Redmi Note 9 Pro Joyeuse.
Backup was created without an error message.
Restoring data also worked correctly.
All other versions had a problem with this and issued an error and the data was of course destroyed.
The misc.bin is important for the installation, which was not included in all other versions
Ps:
Point 8 does not work there,
fastboot oem reboot-recovery
fastboot does not know this command.
Then just by
fastboot reboot
reboot and quickly via buttons
Power + volume up
boot into recovery mode
Thanks!

What ROM does your device use?
@zerodeaths000
Redmi Note 9 Pro – EEA Stable ROM
V11.0.4.0.QJZEUXM
https://mirom.ezbox.idv.tw/en/phone/joyeuse/
If you actually have the ROM QJZEUXM, then your phone is a Redmi Note 9 Pro
Without Pro, it had to have the following ROM QJOEUXM
https://mirom.ezbox.idv.tw/en/phone/merlin/
So never overlook the Pro, Pro and not Pro differ.

Unfortunately, I cant get MiFlash tool to work(Doesn't install the drivers after a long waiting), so I'm going to have to do it in fastboot(command line). Also, I got the .zip version, but if required, I can get the tar file.
Please refresh the forum link I gave here again.
I accidentally wrote Power + Up for the fastboot mode instead of Power + down
Just seen and corrected.
---------------------------------
The * .zip are only for recovery or OTA flash.
For fastboot with flashtool you absolutely need the content from * .tgz
Winrar completely unpacks folders and files that you need for fastboot.
7-zip, however, still displays a * .tar archive, which could then be flashed with the fastboot command line. Not tried myself.
Ps: driver problem maybe an administrator problem?
Start setup as administrator.
Or a snake oil problem (third-party Antivir)?

Got it. I can fix the driver issue for sure. I will try this method, with the cyanogenmod link you gave. I will notify you when its done, because I have 3 more days until I can unlock the bootloader. Hope I won't have to flash the firmware again, and that nothing goes wrong.
One more thing though
"The folder with the extracted files must be on the root of a partition, otherwise there are error messages"
Does this mean that the files found in the tar file have to be extracted directly to C:\ or any other partition?
Partition doesn't matter, it doesn't have to be C :
I get an error message in the not root, probably because the path name was too long.
Didn't investigate further, but copied it straight into the root.
Looks like.
Before that, the folder was on the desktop, which of course made the path name very long.
Maybe the long folder name would have been enough

shorten by renaming.
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.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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 rom
1. Download.
2. Flash.
3 Format Data.
Done
Feel free to ask any questions. And don't point a finger at me for messing your device.

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!!

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.

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..

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?

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.
flashed twrp but not able to boot into recovery.

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'
The device is a Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 (codename: mido)(4/64 GB variant)
So I had this problem yesterday where I was stuck in a bootloop and was unable to get into recovery, so I asked for help in a few subs and XDA, and some good people suggested various suggestions. What worked for me was going back to stock by flashing a stock fastboot ROM via MiFlash Tool.
After getting back to stock, I tried installing TWRP recovery again and everything went smooth, except the fact that it did not get installed at all and I am still on the default Mi-recovery. I have tried numerous versions of the TWRP image, double checked whether USB debugging is switched on or not, but I still can't seem to install TWRP.
Here's a video of the entire process I followed to install TWRP and the issue I am facing:
Apologies for the long video. It is difficult to hold a film with one hand while trying to do stuff on the PC with the other.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

First, I noticed that your TWRP version is old. You said you have tried different versions, but are you sure you tried the latest one? You can download it from here: Download TWRP for mido
Alternatively, you can try with OrangeFox recovery, which is well-recognized as well and personally I use this one: Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 (mido) build releases | OrangeFox Recovery Downloads
Anyway, after the command...
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
...try this one:
fastboot boot recovery.img
If doesn't work try...
fastboot reboot
..and right after you push Enter button, hold Power and Volume+ buttons.
When you enter the TWRP/OrangeFox finally, you should wipe stock system and format data partition, then flash your custom rom.
