Hi,
So I just MI FLASH flashed MIUI 8 on my Redmi note 3 7.3.7.0 stable. and proceded to restore my backup. Then after a while my phone went locked. Its asking for a password. I thought I had set same as my old one.
(I skipped finger stuff) but NO! Its not accepting. So it locked me out for 30 seconds, 5 minutes and now 30 minutes!! I am sure next step would be 2-3 hours!!
I searched on Google. Most posts I found said there is an option that says 'forgot password', But I only get Emergency call option. So I am stuck here with nothing but stare at the Lock screen slide show!!

You need to flash "tz.mbn" from Images folder of MIUI 7.3.7.0 fastboot ROM with command "fastboot flash tz tz.mbn"

Thanks for the info. I ended up reflashing the whole fw again and this time setup a finger print! But can you explain what would that achieve? Flashing the tz.mbn from older firmware?
"tz" partition is Trusted zone partition that save encrypt keys for unlock codes. When you flashed Miui 8 ROM, this was updated for Miui 8 tz partition and when you restore 5.1.1 in TWRP, for sure you didn't restored tz partition from backup, it booted in Miui 7 with Miui 8 tz partition and you aren't able to unlock device. It happened with me when I'm working on MM Port to RN3 Pro from Special edition. Flashing back tz from Miui 7 fastboot ROM, your unlock code back to work.

I didn't realize that I flashed MM rom! I I thought Miui 8 for Redmi Note 3 Pro was still 5.1.1..
I flashed using MI Flash tool with clean all. I restored from the backup and reset option in phone.
My boot loader is still locked . So no twrp...
I had ported ZCX-TWRP from Redmi Note 3 (kenzo) to Redmi 3S Prime (land). As i cant find sources of ZCX-TWRP, I ported it by replacing files from another working recovery.
The ported recovery works good until i make changed in default.prop. If i change it it wont boot.
What i did :
1. Extracted Images with Android Image Kitchen
a) TCX-TWRP of Redmi Note 3
b) Stock Recovery Of Redmi 3S Prime
c) TWRP of Redmi 3S Prime
2. Replace zImage of ZCX-TWRP from Stock
3. Copy and Replace following files from TWRP of Redmi 3S Prime to ZCX-TWRP
Code:
init, init.qcom.usb.sh, init.recovery.usb.rc, property_contexts, seapp_contexts, selinux_version, sepolicy, service_contexts, ueventd.qcom.rc, ueventd.rc
After above steps... the ported ZCX-TWRP booting and everying working but i dont made any changes to "default.prop" i.e. changing ro.product.device to land.
Because of this when flashing roms they shows "Error 7. This zip is for land. but your device is kenzo". So i changed device name to land in default.prop. But after that recovery is not working. Its only working when device name is set to kenzo. I also found "kenzo" string in 3 other files from sbin directory of Ported TCX-TWRP (libc.so, linker64.so, recovery)
Whenever i try to make changes these files ZCX-TWRP wont boot... How can i Solve this...

Hi, I have Redmi Note 5 and I tried to install TWRP recovery(twrp-3.5.2_9-0-vince.img). But every time in the TWRP it is telling that "Internal Memory" is showing as 0 MB and I am unable to change it. It would be pleasure if you know a method to overcome this issue. Thank you.

I think you have to format your data partition, but then you will lose all. Backup first all photos and other things. And why not orange fox?

Help request.
Situation:
- Redmi 4X (Global, santoni), bootloader unlocked,
- flash recovery TWRP, v. 3.6.0_9-0 performed by ADB and using "Temporary" same
versions of TWRP,
- flash recovery TWRP, v. 3.5.1_9-0 performed by ADB and using "Temporary" same
versions of TWRP,
- Backup partition recovery is used to check if the flash has actually taken place.
Always with a positive result (each version is checked with "sh2")!
- Reboot into recovery or shutdown and put into recovery mode, always with a positive
result - TWRP recovery works!
- Once the OS has been booted at least once, the contents of the partition recovery will
take effect immediately returns to stock recovery - ALWAYS!
- an attempt was made with flash stock recovery - the result was adequate,
- all these experiments took place even after using SW MiFlash20210226 with parameter
Save user data. Results without change - always returned stock recovery.
Thank you for your help (please excuse your English level - thank you)

You use mi flash tool as last? Then the customer recovery will be replaced. Mi flash tool, development settings, OEM unlock and flash your recovery over fastboot. Here is a good guide, but don't use the recovery from this site.
