Hello! I am a Redmi Note 3 user, some days ago I changed from stable to beta ROM and spoiled my device. All the sensors are not working and can't apply for unlocking bootloader. Please suggest me an unofficial method to unlock bootloader and install custom recovery. Hope you guys will help me soon! Thanks

Sensor not working then May be something wrong with persist partition.
Did u manually downloaded recovery rom from mi site.?
Why miui 9? Latest beta is miui 10 . go to system updater app and press update to upgrade to latest miui 10 beta version.
I think latest beta is 8.10.11 something.

So u on miui 9 stable?
U stuck during upgrading miui10 coz u must factory reset. Sometime rom cant boot due to data partition and apps.
So need to clear user data to succesfully boot on upgrade. So u must factory reset to clear data partition. Else u will face problems. or bootloop while upgrade.
So if I just want to do the repair sensor stuff, what shall I do?
I did install TWRP but couldn't install any custom ROM, all stuck in bootloop!
What shall I do?

Just extract the persist.img file from fastboot rom.
Put the device in fastboot mode or if it doesnt work then put in edl mode and flash.
And flash using fastboot command
fastboot devices
fasboot erase persist
fastboot flash persist persist.img
fastboot reboot
Or
easy method
u can just flash persist.img file using TWRP. if twrp ask which parttion to flash then select persist partition.

Hi guys does any one have working method on how to flash twrp recovery on rdmi note 3 sd well im currently on miui 8 6.11.3 beta developer rom.. Some body help me
This is assuming you have an unlocked bootloader already.
http://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-install-twrp/
Yes i already unlocked the bootloader nd even flashed twrp once but it asked me for a password to decrypt nd i couldnt flash gapps so i flashed back to dev rom using mi flash tool
I haven't had that issue but try using zcx twrp

You dont need to flash back miui.. just format your internal storage using adb command "fastboot format userdata" thats it. Then flash twrp again using adb. Now boot into twrp &clean flash any custom rom you want. Everything will be ok..
Although you get back to miui. So this video will help you a lot to install twrp. Just follow his fastboot method & use alka recovery instead of official recovery

Install adb and fastboot drivers .
Download orange fox recovery (place it on desktop ) https://drive.google.com/file/d/14pEu6xx0eg14uGbsf9tXCdu8LVz4z7iP/view?usp=drivesdk
Open CMD and enter into fastboot mode
In CMD type - fastboot flash recovery filelocation
For making it easy instead of putting file location , just drag the recovery file into CMD it will automatically write location .
Now simply boot into recovery by pressing volume up+ power or type fastboot boot filelocation .
Just do everything as mentioned there will be no problem , make nandroid backup asap .
What is Magisk? Thank you for the help. I'll be sure to post again if I encounter any problems.
What is a Nandroid backup?

It's a backup of your system
Before flashing anything in the custom.recovery, I recommend making a fully working ROM backup,
So you'll need to click backup in the recovery and tick
BOOT
DATA
SYSTEM
also, make a SEPARATE backup of the EFS this is very important.

Just an advise.
I think you should not try any of this mods before you study deeply the effects and the risks of it. You are so newbie that you can brick your device if you make any mistake performing the operations.
I have a Redmi note 5 AI 6/64 gb variant. After purchasing my device i have unlockd the bootloader and flash global stable rom but i can't relock the bootloader. my previous rom was MIUI 9.5.21.0 China and my current rom is MIUI 9.5.17.0. If i relock the bootloader phone boot into recovery mode and shows "This MIUI version can't be installed on this device". If i unlocked the bootloader again then phone reboot into OS. As per my findings from MIUI 9.5.6.0 bootloader can't be locked after flashing global rom on Chinese device. Its a bug from xiaomi. So my question is
1. If i flash my device into 9.2.7.0 can i relock my bootloader again and can perform OTA update?
2. I have got an OTA update MIUI 9.6.3.0. If i update my device will it get bricked? If i can update my device via OTA update will it relock my bootloader automatically? Or do I have to flash it manually?

You guys will need an authorized beta account unless you want to flash the ROM via TWRP Recovery
So, I updated without an authorized account though TWRP. As soon as I tried to reboot to system, it brought me back to TWRP.
I suppose I had to disable encryption all over again so I formatted Data, installed the update again and started to move the required zip for Magisk and encryption disabling back in the internal memory. During the installation the system rebooted (I didn't ask to, the first time it didn't reboot til I asked) and something crashed on the first screen pf MIUI 10. Then it decided to reboot again to recovery... and the TWRP was gone, I have the MIUI stock recovery again. Anyway, I formatted the data once more and the system is running without problems now.
tldr: Updated, data was deleted, TWRP is gone, system seems good

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

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.

Replace zcx twrp with latest twrp.
Then flash rom and gapps.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FLASH MIUI ROM OR MIUI FIRMWARE USING TWRP. U WILL BRICK OR BOOTLOOP.
ONLY CUSTOM ROMS ARE ALLOWED.
I should have been more careful before updating coz after the update i realized that twrp won't work on miui 13. I can fastboot recovery but the internal storage is encrypted and it shows 0 MB. I need root, so i am thinking of downgrading to 12.5 again. Can i do that without loosing data? Also how can i downgrade? Should i just download fastboot version of the rom and update it?

you can't update from 13 to 12.5 you need to erase all your data , it's mandatory...
Just flash the fastboot rom with Mi Flash and tick "Clean All" so after MIUI boot you can flash twrp and other ROM again
Already messed it up :-( Can you please tell me which fastboot rom i should flash... I was using eu rom but even after flashing it phone boots to mi recovery.
Hey, yesterday I flashed xiaomi eu stable MIUI 13.0.3 by their script.
To do it,
1) put the phone in fastboot mode
2) just run the script by double clicking on it, however you need the file with data_format on the end.
If your phone does bootloop and go back to MIUI Recovery 5.0 like mine did yesterday, you can fix it by wiping all data in this recovery it boots up to and then restarting the phone. It worked for me and my friend.
