Help me with the steps to flash AOSP 5.1.1 please! - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers

I'm on MIUI Global Stable 7.3.7.0 now and I want to go to AOSP 5.1.1 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/development/aosp-5-1-1-prerooted-cleaned-t3354682/).
Could you please guys tell me if the following procedure is correct?
1) Follow this tutorial to unlock my bootloader: http://forum.miui.co.in/forum/mi-de...5165-redmi-note-3-snapdragon-unlock-the-beast
[I'll have the MIUI Global Stable 7.1.8 then.]
2) Flash Alka TWRP via fastboot: (a) flash modified boot.img of the MIUI 7.1.8; (b) flash Alka TWRP.
3) Full backup of MIUI 7.1.8 via Alka TWRP.
4) Flash Safe TWRP v2 via Alka TWRP.
5) Flash AOSP 5.1.1 via Safe TWRP v2.
Is there something missing?
I don't want to return to MIUI, but maybe I will test CM13 someday. Will I be able to flash CM13 via Safe TWRP v2 without problems?
Please help me.
I really thank you for your patience. Sorry for being newbie.

Miui Roms cant be flashed

Hi,
I try to installiert the newest beta, I install cofface twrp and alka twrp. I get an error if I want to install a Miui with one of this Twrp's.
I read much threads Form Here but I cant find any reason for this. I'm now on Cm13.
best regards
Try to format each of your partition like system, data, cache & dalvik/art cache. I do this yesterday and sucsess to flash miui eu rom from cm.
Good luck.
The reason is recent marshmallow roms are encrypted
Unless you patch your boot.img or rollback to android 5.1.1 base again, you cant flash via TWRP
I do that every time when I flash anything with TWRP, which TWRP have you used?
How can I patch the boot.img? If I rollback to global miui, I have to reboot to edl mode via adb and use miflash?
If you are not using Cofface Twrp, then flash patched boot image, i recommend use official TWRP, just flash the recovery rom and then flash "lazyflasher.zip" google it.
I am on latest global with 5.1 base. If I'll flash the beta (6.0.1 base) and then the lazyflasher, I think I would not be encrypted but in a locked bootloader. Am I rt?

help

currently i am on CM13 official ROM, i want to move back to miui official, which MI ROM i can use, i unlocked bootloader using unofficial method, if possible give me a link which has steps to flash miui rom. TIA.
1. Flash "safe twrp" recovery.
2. Perform nandroid backup of your phone.
3. Download MIUI ROM (recovery or dev, whichever you prefer)
4. Flash this MIUI ROM via safe twrp recovery.
5. Reboot
Important: Only use safe twrp recovery for this purpose.

Help! Need to revert back to MIUI from CM13 !

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.

Can i flash stock rom using twrp ?

I am on Global stable miui 8.2.4 but for some reasons i don't like it and i wanna downgrade to 8.1.15 . I have Twrp installed and rooted . Can i flash recovery 8.1.15 rom using twrp ?
Or i need to flash a fastboot rom using twrp ?
somebody?
I have flashed stock 8.2.4.0 from 8.2.2.0 with flashfire, although I have twrp too. No problems just put the zip in right folder.
Yes you can. I have flashed both dev and stable. @jazzh mentions something about folders. TWRP doesn't really care about that.
Be warned though that flashing the official zip also replaces the recovery and there is a bug with 8.1.15 where you cannot flash TWRP back afterwards.
If you go back to 8.1.15 and want to use TWRP for flashing a custom rom simply use
fastboot boot [recovery name].img
to soft load TWRP and do all your work from there up.
Yes, that's a good advice.
I soft boot twrp whenever performing backup or updating magisk.
I just mentioned folders because flashfire is started from os and it will look into the ota folder and if it finds the zip it will offer rebooting to perform the update.

MIUI Downgrade OrangeFox Recovery

Hi,
How can I downgrade from the latest official MIUI 11 global ROM to the MIUI 10 Xiaomi EU custom ROM with OrangeFox recovery?
Well assuming your device to be unlocked since you have OrangeFox Recovery installed (presumably), you need to download your preferred custom ROM, Gapps (if you want), magisk (if you want) and flash them in this order from recovery.
So what is stopping you from doing so?
Sorry for this tone but you have to specify what exactly you want and how far have you tried in achieving that.
