With all the hype on the lp launch, I just realized I have no idea what to do : I got the rom through xpirifirm, and I'm just sitting there like "now what?"
Originally when I got the phone, I created a KK pre-rooted rom and used that on my phone, later on down the line I unlocked the boot loader to use a custom kernel and try different roms, but the pre-rooted rom how-to says it's for "locked" bootloader only, for now I figure I should be fine making the rom following the same process and then flashing the resulting zip to my phone, but I have a few questions :
is this the proper way to do it on UB ? to create a prerooted rom and use the zip file to flash the LP update ?
will I keep my root if I do this ? (I'll use the latest SU binary)
will I have recovery ? (I'll use the latest dual recovery)
I have official unlocked bootloader, with TWRP that patches boot.img automatically, and rooted Global Beta ROM on SD version. I successfully flashed full ROM zip without any problem, by just flashing in TWRP without any modifications or any other boot.img.
But I never flashed OTA before. I'm a little paranoid about this, I don't wanna brick my phone again. By my given condition, I should be able to flash OTA zips without any modifications, and keeping my TWRP and unlocked bootloader, right?

No I didn't. I flashed the modified one that I do not have to flash boot.img when flashing miui rom

You don't need boot.img if you use official TWRP.
http://linuxwelt.blogspot.de/2016/04/twrp-recovery-flashen-xiaomi-anleitung.html
Flash TWRP (just check the Screenshots) and after that you can flash OTA without problems (I did it 2 times). Have no problems.
But first take the new TWRP and make a backup with EFS on a USB Stick or sd card. If something go wrong you can restore your RN3P.
Official twrp?
Lol yea u mite be able to flash ota with official twrp but won't it lock the bootloader and boot.img..
But there mite be a way to make it work .
Use the original boot.img of the current ROM and flash then flash the otathat(so there won't be error 7) will fix the issue .and the twrp will auto patch the boot.img after update
As the tiltle says I want to install ota update on my phone. It's bootloader is officially unlocked, rooted amd xposed is also installed. I'm right now on cofface twrp.
Unless you made a backup of unmodified stock boot and system before rooting etc.
The ota will probably fail.
If you have made a backup of them? Then restore the backup and apply the OTA.
Make backups again if the OTA gets applied. Then root and install xposed again.
If you can follow this thread you see the steps involved in applying an ota.

I didnt made the back up of those files but today i unrooted, uninstalled xposed, flashed stock recovery but still ota fails.
i even followed the guide and replaced emmc file and modified updater script but twrp was not able to flash the update and can i install recovery rom using twrp even when im rooted and xposed is install adn do i lose data by flashing it?
Once you have modified your system and boot images. you can not unmodified them by removing the changes. Because the images will still be modified!
I don't know if you can flash the latest rom, without losing your data. What rom are you using?
I flashed xiaomi.eu rom, to avoid having to worry about getting and applying OTA updates. As detail in my previous post.
With xiaomi.eu rom, I can flash the updated roms without losing data.
You could try, making a TWRP backup of your data partition.
Flash the latest version of your rom.
Then if data gets wiped, restore the TWRP backup of data partition.
My phone was officially unlocked, used alka twrp. I can still have ota update of cause failed on incremental update, alter rebooted the phone, I received the second ota update full rom and flashed it , flashed superSU and exposed v86 with success.

To flash recovery MIUI rom through twrp, delete the emmc_appsboot.mbn file from the firmware_update folder inside the rom zip file, and then flash rom through ALKA TWRP .
To update rom, download OTA through updater app or MIUI site and then open the OTA zip file and delete emmc_appsboot.mbn file inside the firmware-update folder and then flash through ALKA TWRP .

OTA not worked on twrp..only work full rom on twrp recovery so u flash full rom zip file ..u hv stock recovery then works ota updates
I officially unlocked bootloader and it relocked while flashing miui ROM then when I tried officially but unable to unlock , then I tried unofficial method and unlocked. It is unofficially or officially unlocked ? What twrp can I use ?
Now you have an unofficially unlocked device so you can use Cofface twrp. Also If you still want to use MIUI after unlocking you device I recommend you to use Xiaomi.eu rom. Which better and still does not lock your bootloader.
For the best chance use Safe_TWRP v2 and universal boot.img patcher (Safe_TWRP v2 or Cofface TWRP won't need this) http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/modified-twrp-deleting-emmcappsboot-t3371667
Also user a.cid says "As a precaution, delete the emmc_appsboot.mbn file from the rom zip using winrar. Just open the zip in winrar and delete without extraction."
Hi,this is my first time installing a custom rom and recovery and rooting and all.
I am on MIUI 10 8.11.22 beta on RN3 2gb.
And have unlocked bootloader using official method.
Currently following
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/unlock-bootloader-twrp-root-7-2-3-t3359492
Planning to
flash official twrp-3.3.1-0-kenzo
Install Havoc 9.0 OS https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/development/rom-havoc-os-t3845305
Install Magisk
but twrp site is showing
This device uses dm-verity!
This means that swiping to allow system modifications will prevent you from being able to boot if you are using the stock kernel. In order to bypass dm-verity's boot prevention, you will have to install a kernel that has dm-verity disabled in the fstab.

I think it is about boot.img but I do not have patched boot.img of my miui version and also (from above guide) to patch boot.img i need fastboot rom but linkhttps://en.miui.com/a-234.html only takes me to Chinese miui website.
Can any one share link to boot.img of fastboot rom for MIUI 10 8.11.22 beta?
And in Havoc OS post
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/development/rom-havoc-os-t3845305
do I need custom kernel for 9.0?
In Magisk Post
Prerequisite
If you plan to install custom kernels, flash the zip AFTER installing Magisk
Make sure to remove any ‘boot image mods’ such as other root solutions. The easiest way is to restore the boot image from factory images, or reflash a non-prerooted custom ROM

does that mean i do not need to flash boot.img or do i need to flash it afterwards?
Qustions
1) Do I need boot.img file of my version or any will do?
2)Do I need custom kernel for havoc os 9.0?
3) how to proceed after flashing twrp(need help)?
here what i think i have to do after flasing twrp(correct me If i am wrong)
(do not flash boot .img as installing magisk) -> flash havoc os -> flash magisk->flash custom kernel(which one?)-> (flash boot.img) ->reboot

If u official unlocked using miunlock tool then u dont need any patched boot.img.
Flash latest twrp 3.3.1 kenzo
Download ur favourite rom and nano gapps zip to external sd card.
First go to wipe and do format data.
You must do it or rom wont boot.
So click Format data
Type Yes to format
This will decrypt and erase internal sd.
Then Swipe to "factory reset"
Then Go to install
Flash rom zip
Flash nano gapps.zip
Then Reboot and enjoy

I know this is off topic but do you know something about "Red Light Blinking" and "init Storage:Fail" ?
Thanks for the tip. Currently on havoc os . Installation went smoothly
