My question is that if I try to flash a custom rom(I guess Havoc OS) after unlocking my RN3's bootloader "unofficially" with this guide.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/unlock-unofficially-install-zcx-twrp-t3586778
Will i get a boot loop?
And to avoid that what should I do?
I don't want to go for official unlock tool, it takes 360hr I can't wait that much.
Please I don't want to brick my phone.
Thanks in advance
Please help

Havoc got bootanimation bug. May take time on boot.
U Flash arrow OS. best battery.
First update ur phone to latest miui 10.
Then unlock it using ur method. After unlocking U will be on zcx old recovery.
Now download Flash below twrp latest 3.2.3 official.
https://dl.twrp.me/kenzo/
Go to new latest twrp
Format data. Type yes to format. Will delete data and internal sd.
Then wipe data reset
Flash Arrow os
Flash pico or nano gapps
Reboot
Thank you very much for replying sir,
I have 2 more questions.
1. If I unlock unofficially and install zcx twrp, and then how will i install official TWRP that you mentioned 3.2.3 version safely without any bootloops or stuck?
2. After installing official TWRP, if I try flashing ArrowOS, is it possible to get bootloop after flash (because some people say they hard bricked their phone after flashing Roms after using unofficial method)?

Hey guys i flashed Resurrection remix rom 5.7.4 through twrp on my redmi note 3 sd
Now i got to know that i am having an unofficial rr rom
So i think i might relocked my bootloader
I have a doubt can i still flash any other rom or i have to unlock my bootloader again?
I don't think official resurrection remix can relock bootloader as its a custom rom and if its relocked then ur device may not bootup.If that's the problem u can flash lazyflasher zip along official resurrection remix rom lazyflasher does all the modifications on rom to keep ur bootloader unlocked .Checkout miui thread on lazyflasher:good: http://en.miui.com/thread-283146-1-1.html

Simply check your bootloader in fastboot mode, if it locked then you can easily unlock it directly using miunlock tool.
Anyway, flashing rr rom even unofficial version won't relock your bootloader since zip package didn't contains any firmwarw.

Thought you should try to use other twrp. In MM, i always use twrp modified by thestrix and never found any issue during flashing any custom rom. In N, i used twrp modified by dadi11 which fully support N rom and backward.
Please try & let me know the result.
Anyway, i assumed that zip packaged from exodus & du not corrupt.

You can try this one to replace your current twrp.
To install recovery images use Flashify / Rashr / TWRP Manager from Play Store or flash in your current recovery:
1. Go to install, find and select the Images... button.
2. Browse to the image that you downloaded and select it.
3. Choose recovery and swipe to flash.

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.

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

Hi ,
I have to revert back to latest MIUI ROM from CM13 ROM [ locked Bootloader]. I have read other threads too but theres never a clear answer.
First of all I dont have any backup of any MIUI roms. I want to do a clean install of latest MIUI build.
What do I have? : Alka TWRP, CM 13 with locked bootloader I think.
Can someone please tell me what do things I need to revert back with steps?
Do I need to unlock the bootloader first then flash the lastest build of MIUI with MiFlash tool? or the bootloader needs to unlocked later after the flash?
Or can I install MIUI recovery rom? with ALKA TWRP?
Flesh miui rom via edl method using mi flash tool.
download fastboot rom and flash via mi flash.
it will lock ur bootloader so unlock it via mi unlock again if u officially unlocked.
off course this method requires a PC.

In the developer mode settings, enable advance options to restart. This will give you the option (on long pressing the power button) to reboot into recovery. If by this method you can get into recovery it would be alot easy to flash the MIUI ROM (which you can get for your device from the official miui rom download site).
If you can't get into recovery, you will need a PC/laptop.

Most probably yes.
But you could try( before unlocking) booting into recovery as i have mentioned above.
Hi,
After running out of patience i unlocked boot loader on my RN 3 (SD VERSION), and flashed lineage OS, but i did not get VOLTE on it.
To fix that i flashed some files again (and probably forgot to enable developer options), then i rebooted to the phone, and now the bootloader has locked again. I tried booting into EDL mode/TWRP recovery, but the device booted back to lineage OS.
I did not even flash GAPPS just to check if VOLTE is working(basically i booted into the system), now i cannot go to the EDL mode and also not into TWRP recovery. Please guide me on how to get out of this situtaion. I had unlocked bootloader by flashing MIUI 7 through EDL (replaced emmc, and then unlocked it in CMD through unlock-go command)
I am only left with lineage OS with no apps (Tried installing Play store and Play services, that also force closes).
Please help me out with this. I know i messed it up by probably not turning on the developer options before flashing the files.
Please let me know where exactly i messed up so that i do not repeat the mistake. And please guide me on how to unlock bootloader and flash stuff again. Thanks.
Hey just try to find advance restart option in developer options and from their you know what to do

Yes i found it, I can now boot into the TWRP recovery, but now that the bootloader is locked, i dont think i will be able to wipe or flash any rom. If i wipe i will be in bootloop.
I cant go to EDL. Is it possible to restore MIUI backup with bootloader locked??

What twrp you have have if it is zcx then just flash any rom and if you are wondering check this https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...ide-install-lineage-os-locked-t3546154/page39
And yes don't even try to flash your backup zip from miui backup but if it's twrp backup then you are good to go

Phone is booting. Running lineage 14.1, gapps also flashed now using TWRP.
So basically i can go to TWRP, not to EDL.

I have TWRP 3.1.0.0 and not ZCX. BOOTLOADER IS LOCKED INDEED.
The backup is twrp backup, not MIUI.
So what you are saying is that i should UPDATE THE Current recovery to ZCX through flash image option(IN TWRP) right? And then flash SUPERSU?
And after that CAN I Wipe the currently installed Lineage OS, and then install it again along with CM firmware and VOLTE Patch??? (As mentioned here, https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...t/volte-patches-nougat-based-cm-roms-t3509257)
Please confirm, and if yes, please confirm the order of flashing of above three files.
The main issue is VOLTE.
Also, the backup that i took with 3.1.0.0 can be restored using ZCX Right???
I am not sure but to be on safer side just flash the miui backup first boot in the ROM , set it up ,then try to other stuff and after that try to install zcx twrp if you dont want the unlock your bootloader again

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.
