Need help! Custom MIUI Global rom. - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers

Hi, I just bought my vince 3 days ago and it has a custom MIUI global rom installed and locked bootloader.
Checking developer options it says it's unlocked but it really isn't, I checked through fastboot.
MIUI unlock tool doesn't works, says not same Mi account or something.
Is there any other way to flash stable global rom in locked bootloader besides using test point method?

after you reboot your phone, did you see unlocked word at MIUI logo?

Try to use the same miui account in miui unlock tool which you are using in the phone.
(You probably have locked your phone after flashing a custom miui rom)

Go to miui website and download global stable or global developer rom. Go to updater app and click on 3 dots on top right or left corner. There will be a option choose update zip or choose zip (check idk correctly) click n choose the downloaded zip it will install wait.. afterwards reset your phone (factory reset) then after reset just login with ur miui account and(u know the procedure) go to developer setting there bind your miui account and enable usb debugging and try to unlock..

Sorry for late response, nothing worked. I ended up flashing with test point method. First i flashed Global stable but that ROM didn't boot, then flashing china dev worked. Xiaomi need to fix this sh** with custom MIUI ROMs.

I flashed stock rom ,accidentally locked the bootloader and it got into bootloop
I opened the phone's back cover, booted to EDL using test point and flashed stock rom using EDL mode but also somehow, the button lights were stuck ON, even if the phone is completely powered off and battery 0%

Did u accidentally relocked the bootloader or accidentally flashed the stock rom.
Dont u know its risky to flash global rom using twrp?
Use fastboot only with pc if u want to flash global rom.
No need for test point method.
U can use edlv2 zip to put in edl mode from fastboot mode. U can download edl zip from here.

Sorry for the late reply, XDA's notification system is horrible.
I flashed stock rom via fastboot but didn't realize that the option to lock and flash was selected in MiFlash. After i flashed stock rom (btw, there's no such thing as global/developer/chinese rom for Mi A1) i had locked bootloader and a rom that bootloops so i had to open up the phone and use test point method to boot into EDL. My phone is totally fine now and working but with the button lights being always on which drains a ton of battery when idle
and again, just to make sure i'm clear, once you lock your bootloader, you cannot flash in fastboot mode, that needs an unlocked bootloader. That's why i used test point method to boot into edl and flash stock rom

Phone Stuck in Bootloader

Hello, I updated my redmi note 3 to The 6.9.9 stable version:fingers-crossed:. But as there as many bugs, I tried to rollback to the previous version:silly:. But I'm now stuck on Bootloop:crying::crying:. Help me plz. ADB is not enabled, bootloader is locked & the phone is not rooted.
Use EDL mode. Search it in Google (MIUI Forum).
is EDL also used to get completly stock? i might sell my kenzo to buy a kate ... and i would like to sell with official global stable
EDL is used if your device bootloader is not unlocked.. The fastboot method is for unlocked bootloader only.. Yes, completely stock
Sorry, i should have posted whats my device status:
1. flashed global dev rom via EDL mode
2. updated to MIUI 6.9.9 6.0.1 MM
3. unlocked bootloader officialy with xiaomi tool
4. flashed ALKA TWRP
5. Did a wipe because phone encryption was on, after wipe i was able to backup all partitions
6. flashed Supersu
Now if i want to go completly stock, do i have to flash latest MIUI rom via fastboot instead of EDL?
Then everything is back to stock, even the Bootloader is locked?
It's up to you, it's same.. EDL should be fine

Your Windows is 32Bits? If yes, use latest MiFlash tool. And check if file folder has no spaces like this C:\Users\Name\Desktop\Redmi Note\
If has space, remove all spaces. Put ROM in C:\ROM folder for example...

you can try to unlock directly at your current stable rom, somebody able to do it while i can't do it and should move to dev rom to unlock.
if you failed to do it at current rom, you can move to dev rom using miflash and ofc using fastboot rom. if you should move to dev rom to unlock, choose LP rom since MM rom have forced encryption feature by default.
OK.. suppose now I unlocked the bootloader... wat should I do to flash twrp and root the phone.. should I just flash tarp and supersu or should I need to flash anything else... please help me step by step after unlocking bootloader...
follow lolipop unlock process Replace emmc_appsboot.mbn in dev rom and flash via mi flash done,
fastboot oem unlock-go
fastboot flash recovery recovery name.img
then flash radon latest marshmallow version and then flash supersu 2.76 done, its work for me,

This may give you method for rooting...
And for installing cm13 ROM too... With proof...
It worked for me .. I did the same...
First
download the required files from the given link: [50mb]
https://mega.nz/#!1NhDTQoR!cP7vrchwswOfj3oHQ5saZ2d0JkcmunEn5pqyOcpZDoE
INSTRUCTIONS: [redmi note 3]
1. Get into fastboot mode. Charge the phone first. Hold the power button and the volume down button simultaenously.
2. If you can open your current rom, open developer options by clicking on the build no several times in the about phone menu in settings. and select allow oem unlocking and usb debugging.
3. if not leave it... go on and connect your phone to the PC while in fastboot mode.
BUT, before that: open Command prompt on your PC. (search it on the search box). right click on it and open it in administrator mode.
type in: bcdedit /set testsigning on
hit enter and restart your pc
(this is imp.)
4. open the zip file and extract the contents. open the boot edl mode folder and click the edl.bat file. allow it to run.
5. now screen will turn black, do not disturb it. Now flash the twrp by running flash twrp.bat from the 'flash TWRP' folder.
6. Now go to Unlock folder and run the unlock bootloader.bat file.
your phone will boot into the TWRP recovery mode automatically.
if it opens in chineese you select every tab and find the globe icon.
if the globe icon is found on any of the tab select it and change the language to ENGLISH.
wipe your system from the wipe tab:
Now download the latest CM13 SNAPSHOT BUILD ROM FOR YOUR REDMI:
https://download.cyanogenmod.org/get/kenzo-snapshot.zip
and GAPPS:
http://opengapps.org/?api=6.0&variant=mini
do select the arm 64 version and mini one.
download from your pc and copy it to micro sd card. enter this card into you phone and go to mount in twrp.
mount the micro sd card storage.
select the zip file on the micro sd card from the install tab on twrp and flash it.
now go back and flash open gapps zip file.
now REBOOT to system. everything will work fine....
any rom could be installed after it by the same proccess.
you would beome comfortable in doing all this after once trying/.
if you even brick your phone there would always be a way out.
search it on youube.
because everything occurs in partitions , you think hat you have bricked but actually not. there's always a safe way out

Once unlocked bootloader and flash twrp.
You don't have to take help of PC or any other thing.
You can always do it on the phone itself.
Boot into twrp by pressing upper volume and power button.
Wipe everything except storages (internal or external)
And then install the ROM zip file and gapps file accordingly.
Do it for any rom

Tried to unlock bootloader, but the stuck at 50% saying unable to verify device something.. so tried logging into micloud and making hte device active.

If you do it by installing global dev kenzo ROM by mi flash then it may get stuck at 50-60℅ as happened to many here.
I have also experienced it. It got stuck at 40℅. It may happen.
It can say not enough memory to continue or whatever ****.
Leave it don't panic. The ROM has partially been installed.
Now cmtry power off. Or click on boot edl mode. Now directly click unlock bootloader .bat file which I provided. And then click on flash twrp. Bat file.
You phone will automatically boot into twrp and now go last tab of last second row, got to globe icon and change language and now go back and wipe everything.
No wiping internal storage if you have kept any ROM there. But I suggest wipe everything.
Insert a micro SD card or USB otg containing any ROM (because you need to boot up at least) and then flash it along with proper gapps.

Nope is not that.
Like i say i flash different recovery.
And the system boot.
But freeze after 50 sec and reboot.
Its happened on any rom.
I really don`t know what to doo.
Bro! Flash Red Wolf TWRP. Check System, Data and Cache and swipe to wipe them. Flash the latest firmware. Then flash ROM & GApps package then reboot. You don't need to wipe every partition.

Nope.

I erase the boot and recovery from fastboot.
Flash redwolf recovery.
Enter the recovery.
Try to wipe the partitions but it write cant mount the data and the cache.
So i manual wipe data to exfat and the to ext4.
I do the same whit the cache and finaly it mount the partitions.
So i normaly flash the latest stable firmware (i try whit old one) Los 14.1 whit gapps and reboot.
The phone boot to the boot animation freeze and reboot.
Then start loading again this time boot the Los 14.1 but a few seconds later the phone freeze and reboot.
I happened again and again.
I can`t even take a logicat to get some info why is this happened.
I am 100% sure this problem come from this gay recovery.

Bruh! I don't know whether this will work but it is worth a try.
Boot into EDL mode and then use MiFlash to flash Official MIUI. You can visit this thread HERE, to know how to boot into EDL.
No guarantees but worth a try, since your bootloader is locked it's the only way I suppose.

Hmm. I don't think you quite understood what I said. If fastboot is working on your use it enter EDL mode using the tool I mentioned before and then use MiFlash to flash MIUI. Using MiFlash on EDL mode doesn't require bootloader unlocking.

My computer port discover qualqom diganostic port.
The phone enter automaticly in qualqom diganostic.
But the MiuiFlash Tool dont detect the EDL and i cant flash the whit Miflaash tool.
The problem is that when i flash official MIUI 9 it flash for 1 sec and it write succses.
But it dint flash anything.
So the only solution for me is same how to flash stock Miui or atleast stock recovery some how.

Hey there! Don't worry I faced exactly same issue! If you go to service center those idiots will tell you to replace motherboard which is 80% of cost of phone itself. Well they are idiot! I fixed my phone myself! Its not hardware issue! You just messed up your system partitions! Believe me I Know your case! Phone would just boot up successfully then reboot after freezing! Right?

Do you have unlocking permissions from Xiaomi? If yes then thats very good news for you! Actually you don't need miui in order to unlock bootloader if you are not logged into device using mi account which im pretty sure of as you are not on miui. I would recommend you to download latest mi unlock tool and unlock your device! I think it will be unlocked successfully if your mi account has unlocking permissions!
Let me tell you, you need to add account in developers options only when you are on miui and you mi account is logged in on the device! In your case you are neither on miui not logged in with mi account on device so it will unlock! Trust me I was in same place as you! Just breathe in and out and follow this:
* Download mi unlock tool
* Start mi unlock tool and login with you mi account which had permissions
* Connect your phone in fastboot mode
* Click on unlock and it will unlock successfully then you are good to go!

You are quite not getting what I am trying to say! Just strictly follow the steps:
1) Download Mi unlock tool
2) Run the tool and login with you mi account ( it doesn't matter if you are logged into miui or not)
3) Connect your phone to PC in fastboot mode (power+ volume down button)
4) Your phone will be detected as Mi device in unlock tool
5) Click on unlock and it will be completed
First of all do this then proceed with anything else! Its late so I'm going to sleep! Will check back on you in the morning! If you face any problem then keep me posted along with screenshots! Hope it helps!

Unlocking Bootloader​1. 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.

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...

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.

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!!

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..

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'
