I am having a REAL BUGGER of a time with my Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro (Snapdragon)!
1. It is not recognized by ADB in Fastboot mode.
2. I suspect it shipped wit a vendor ROM, and I'm trying to flash latest Official MIUI Global Dev (Marshmallow) ROM, but I keep getting errors in MI Flash (screenshot attached).
3. I want to Flash TWRP, BUT ADB isn't working, AND I cannot get to the download page for the cracked bootloader.
4. Seriously considering Resurrection Remix ROM, instead, but most of the above issues still apply.
I am NOT new to custom recoveries, flashing ROMS, ADB etc, BUT I am dealing with a new PC (Windows 10 Home, 64 bit, like my old (dead) laptop), and I'm new to this device.
PLEASE HELP. (Quite frustrated)
Fastboot won't recognize adb commands you have to use fastboot.
What you can try is booting into emergency download mode and using my flash to flash it from there. I think it's " adb reboot edl" while the device is on with USB debugging or using the mi updater app ( tap the three dots I think).
I think that this is not the correct section for your question, and i dont know the procedure that you follow but try to follow this procedure:
-Connect the phone at pc with USB cable
-Make sure that debug mode and OEM unlock was abilitate in dev settings
-Copy twrp.img in adb folder
-Shut down the phone and press power botton and - vol buttons for enter in fastboot mode
-Run this commands by terminal open in adb folder
fastboot devices
-If fastboot recognize correctly the device run this command
fastboot fash recovery nameoftwrp.img
-After reboot the device with this command
fastboot reboot
When the phone reboot press immediatily vol + for enter in twrp
Good luck
GOT IT! FINALLY!
-I finally got ADB to connect, and was able to enter EDL through ADB.
-Re-downloaded ROM from web.
-Re-extracted.
-FLASHED SUCCESSFULLY!
-SETUP COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY!
-YAY!
(I think the original download was corrupted, somehow.)

Hey friends i was able to unlock bootloader of my REDMI NOTE 3 OFFICIALLY.
I wan to root the device and install TWRP but for tat i have to connect my phone in fastboot mode.
The thing is phone is recognised as an adb device when it is on but after putting the phone in fastboot mode my laptop is not showing in cmd after " fastboot devices" command
plz help if anyne know how to fix this.
How are you putting it in fastboot mode?
did you already install correct driver in your pc?
you can try to instal latest mi pc suite which will help you to instal correct driver for your phone.
If you're already success unlocking with official way..then it's mean your fastboot driver already correct (if you're using the same computer when you're unlocking before)
Maybe i think you're missed something to put your phone into fastboot mode..
First way you can go into fastboot mode with ADB command while your phone already ON, just typing command "adb reboot bootloader" then enter..your phone will reboot into fastboot mode
Second way to go into fastboot mode firstly you must turn off your phone..just wait until that phone is truely OFF..
then press and hold volume down button..then followed with pressing and hold power button..your phone will booting into fastboot mode.
Hey there!
so, I just upgraded my z5c from MM CyanogenMod to this nougat ROM > [ROM][7.0][Stock][.33][3.7 b7][Deodex][DeBloat][Font][Stereo][Vulkan™] Xperia Loop™
Before the update I could enter TWRP without any problems.
Now, everytime I try to boot into recovery the phone simply reboots...
Things I've tried:
• Typed "adb reboot recovery" on CM
• Downloaded TWRP App to re-flash and click on "recovery reboot"
• Power up phone holding Volume Down
The phone is rooted with SuperSU.
The main reason I wanted to regain access to recovery is to re-root the phone with Magisk.
Thanks for your time.
1. install fastboot and fastboot drivers on your pc (if you don't have them obviously)
2. plug the phone into the pc using the usb cable while holding the volume + button (this way you will skip the adb part)
3. wait for the notification light to go blue
4. go into the fastboot directory
5. download the twrp "recovery.img" file and put it into the fastboot directory
6. hold shift while right-clicking into the directory where fastboot is
7. use the option to open a cmd into the directory
8. type in "fastboot boot recovery.img"
if your phone's fastboot drivers don't have signature (like it happened to me) download Zadig and create a signature for the driver
Hope this helps... i had the same problem and solved by doing this
My le eco le pro 3, during a normal day, stopped working.
If i try to turn it on i see the "LeEco powered by android" and after 10 seconds it turns off with a blue led.
I can not access the recovery mode, only the fastboot mode.
What fastboot command do i have to do to fix this? :crying:
If you can reach fastboot that is great already, i dont know if they bundle their devices with a recovery so you'll need to find a recovery for your device (quick google search, look for TWRP)
Also grab the drivers for your phone so you'll be able to write the recovery you downloaded.
Download the Google Universal ADB + Fastboot package (the 10 seconds installer)
Once everything is done, you'll need to go to the folder containing ADB and Fastboot with a command prompt
In the same folder you put the downloaded recovery. Put your phone in recovery mode, plug it, and type in the cmd : fastboot devices
If it recognize something you are good to go, you type fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img
Then lookup for a Rom, i'm sure there is plenty of it, you'll flash the Rom either with sideload or if you have TWRP via Transfer

Thank you so much.
I have type c broken, so i cannot plug it into my pc (i have found replacement).
I found this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-pro3/how-to/flashing-guide-roundup-leeco-le-pro-3-t3511901
If i don't want to root, do i have to unlock the bootloader anyway?
It might be a stupid question, but I do not know much about this.
Yeah you will need to unlock the bootloader in order to flash a new rom
But roms aren't rooted so you can relock your bootloader after
So, I recently tried to root my Redmi 5 phone and install Lineage OS into it. This is my first time doing it, so I believe I may not have understood the words I had been reading well. Due to this, I'll try to be as descriptive as possible with the actions I had taken that led to my device being stuck.
I had followed this guide, for the most part: https://www.getdroidtips.com/lineage-os-17-xiaomi-redmi-5/
As per the guide, I performed the following actions:
Enabled the developer options
Registered my device to my Mi account
Enabled USB debugging, OEM unlocking
Rebooted in fastboot mode using the ADB tools through CMD (adb reboot bootloader)
While in fastboot mode, I used the Mi Unlock tool to unlock my device.
As per my understanding, these steps would unlock the bootloader. I rebooted my device, set it up (the phone behaves as if freshly booted) and checked the settings menu after enabling developer options again. It shows the bootloader is already unlocked and that Mi Account status is also unlocked. I enabled the USB debugging options again and carried on with the guide.
I then downloaded the rosy TWRP file (version 3.5, I think).
I even downloaded GApps and Lineage 18.1 OS
I tried to copy the above files into my Redmi 5 internal storage
The Lineage and GApps file failed to copy, but I was able to copy the TWRP file
One thing to note here, I am not sure if my USB cable is faulty or if my phone's micro USB port is faulty or if my laptop's USB ports are faulty. When the phone is connected to my PC, it is extremely lousy. If I shake the cable even a bit, it disconnects and reconnects. When I try to use the file explorer to copy the files from my laptop to the android phone, it usually fails for large files or large quantities of small files. I believe this was the reason behind the failure. Nonetheless, I decided to do the TWRP part first.
The guide said to reboot in recovery mode and that would take me to TWRP recovery mode. Well, it did not! It took me to a menu that had the following options:
Reboot
Reboot to System
Back to Main Menu
Wipe Data
Wipe All Data
Back to Main Menu
Connect to MIAssistant
I assumed I had entered recovery mode incorrectly, so I followed the link in the guide on how to enter recovery mode. It suggested using the ADB tools.
I used the command: adb reboot recovery
It did the same thing that I had done. So, I assumed that that is the recovery mode, but I am unable to enter TWRP recovery mode. There was another link that would show me how to do this.
I followed that link and downloaded the files that was mentioned. However, the guide tells little to nothing on what to do with these files. The only file that was used was the rosy twrp file.
I enabled the USB debugging mode on my phone.
Opened CMD from the folder with ADB
Entered the command: adb reboot bootloader
Phone enters fastboot mode
Entered the command: fastboot devices
I can see that a device is connected
Entered the command: fastboot flash recovery rosy-3-5.img (I renamed it for convenience, I believe that was allowed because every website had different name for their file)
I then rebooted into recovery mode by first rebooting it normally: fastboot reboot
Then entering the command: adb reboot recovery
It still showed the same old recovery menu. Nothing had changed. I looked around the internet and found that I could boot with the TWRP image by entering the command: fastboot boot rosy-3-5.img
This opened the screen that I was expecting, but it did not open the chinese menu at all. It directly went to the screen that had options such as Install, Wipe, etc.,
I rebooted normally and then tried to transfer the GApps file and Lineage file into my phone. As usual, it was failing. I tried to use the adb push command and it still failed but with an error saying "permissions denied"
At this point, I looked up how to get root permissions and I learnt that I had to root my device. I looked up how to root with Magisk and SuperSU. The guides all required me to boot in TWRP recovery and then install the files from my phone. Unable to transfer the files to my phone, I uploaded the files to my google drive, and manually downloaded into my phone. I boot up rosy (TWRP recovery, or so I think) using ADB tools. Unfortunately, it does not recognize any of the files in my internal storage. Everything is empty.
Defeated by this, I decided to let it go. I had a factory reset Redmi 5 at the time. I then watched a video that showed how to root with Magisk, but wasn't specific to Redmi 5, it was a generic video for android devices.
I installed the magisk manager apk into my android phone.
Then I copied the boot.img file from the Lineage folder into my android device. Despite the OS being 600 MB large, the boot.img file was only 11 MB.
Anyway, I patched the boot.img file using magisk manager.
It created a file called magisk-patched_1pTOD.img (I'm a bit unsure of the name, but it was similar to that).
The video said that I should copy this file into my laptop and then reboot my phone into fastboot.
Once in fastboot, I had to enter the command: fastboot flash boot magisk-patched_1pTOD.img
I believed that this would root my device and grant me root access. I don't know what my actions were actually supposed to do, but my device is unusable for all intents and purposes. I rebooted the device and it shows the Mi logo for a brief moment and there's no light. An empty dark screen, it's not even a black screen. It's like the display fails to work. I can switch into recovery mode and into fastboot mode but normal reboot did the same.
Thinking that I bricked my phone, I tried to unbrick it.
I downloaded the fastboot rom for Redmi 5 rosy and then installed the Mi Flash tool along with the drivers for it.
I then selected the correct ROM folder (it kept showing up as can't find flash script until I was in the right folder for it)
Rebooted my phone into fastboot mode
Hit refresh on the Mi Flash tool
It showed my device
I chose Clean All option
I hit flash
It goes up till 97%-ish and then fails with an error saying "flash system error".
However, I noticed that now, I can see that the Mi Logo doesn't disappear now. I can still go into recovery mode and fastboot mode, but normal reboot takes me to the permanent Mi Logo Screen. I cannot even shut it down. It auto reboots to the Mi Logo Screen if I do so.
I connected my device to my laptop and then opened the ADB tools.
I entered the following command to see if it's recognized by adb:
adb devices
It did not. I then switched to fastboot mode manually by pressing the Vol Down and Power buttons.
Then entered the following to see if it is recognized in fastboot mode:
fastboot devices
It showed my device there. So I used the following command to reboot and see if it is recognized in fastboot again:
fastboot reboot
While it shows the Mi Logo screen, I typed the command:
fastboot devices
It still shows my device.
I concluded that my device is in an infinite fastboot loop. I cannot boot it up normally. I cannot flash the Redmi 5 ROM into it either. I cannot use my phone.
If anybody has actually gone through this entire mess that I made, and has figured out what went wrong or at least how to fix it, please help me.
Message me on telegram @benzoylperoxide
Hope I could help you with this situation.
If you got data, download fastboot rom based on nought and fastboot rom 9.5.30
Download latest miflash tool from miglobe website.
Install proper drivers from miunlock tool zip file.
And Hope for the best.
Ping me tommorow at anytime.
Good night Bro

Flash system error in MiFlash? Probably the stock rom you downloaded and extracted is corrupted.
Please try flashing MIUI 9 for your Redmi 5.
Yeah, users have had issues with twrp being replaced by stock rom.
For TWRP,
fastboot flash revovery (recovery name.img)
Fastboot boot (recovery name .img)
After that flash your custom rom after wiping system,boot, vendor, data and cache, Internal format might be needed if it's encrypted.
Then, after custom rom is flashed, flash gapps and then twrp zip in TWRP, yeah you saw it right, flash twrp zip in TWRP. This way, twrp won't get replaced.
You can give directly flashing TWRP and flashing custom rom the way I told, Flashing Miui isn't important if your goal is to flash custom rom.
Hi! I would like to mod my AC2003 upgraded to oxygenos 12.1 (android 12) version AC2003_11_F.13
Could you please tell me the steps to proceed? I can't find a guide that answers all my questions ... Do I need to unlock the bootloader first? Then the recovery and the rom? I would be oriented towards the pixel experience, can it be a good choice? Does it support 2 sims? How to do with the root for the bank's applications? Many questions, and nowhere to start ... Thanks in advance
Copy all important phone data, it will be wiped!
- Download adb platform tools here
- Download adb drivers here
- Enable developer settings -> Enable OEM unlock.
- Reboot into Fastbot mode: Turn off the phone, hold down vol+ and vol-, then power on the phone.
- Connect the phone to the computer, run "fastboot devices". If not recognized, ensure driver is installed in the device manager, install from downloaded adb drivers.
- Run "fastboot oem unlock", accept in the phone prompt, the phone will be wiped!
- Boot again in fastboot, flash the recovery: "fastboot flash recovery recovery_file".
- Unplug the USB, I found the recovery to not work properly if the usb was already plugged in before booting.
- Boot into recovery mode: Hold Vol+ and turn on the phone.
- Go to Update... Install from ADB, connect the USB.
- In the computer, run "adb sideload rom_file"
- I'd recommend issuing a factory reset after this, just in case.
- NEVER run "fastboot oem lock" with modded system, it'll brick your phone! (Can be fixed, but just don't do it)
- Enjoy
Ex. for Pixel rom:
- Recovery file: PixelExperience_avicii-12.1-20220718-0624-OFFICIAL.img
- ROM file: PixelExperience_avicii-12.1-20220718-0624-OFFICIAL.zip
I wasn't happy with custom roms. Too many bugs. So I also post how to return to factory:
- Download fastboot ROM from here, unzip file.
- Boot the phone into fastboot mode, connect the USB, run "flash-all.bat", it'll take a while, it'll reboot afterwards
- You're now with stock system. You can upgrade to OOS11/12 using the zips from here, also check F.13, copying them to the phone, going to the updater and selecting "Local update".
- Better do OOS10->OOS11->OOS12, just in case! I'd stay with OOS 11.1.11.11, OOS12 is a battery drainer!
- Ensure to make a factory reset when done with updating.
- Now you're stock, you can also relock the bootloader by booting into fastboot and running "fastboot oem lock".
Be aware that you will miss some camera features with any custom rom... Full camera features are only available with the stock rom..
Thats why I moved back to stock rom and debloated all unuseable stuff...
But a custom rom offers many other opportunities that the stock rom doesn't have...

Wow! You wrote the bible for the beginner ... I don't know how to thank you for your patience, now I have a great starting point
I've a problem, fastboot can't see my device... I've installed the oneplus drivers, but windows continues to use Microsoft's drivers. I tried to update the drivers from the device manager indicating as drivers those installed in the Oneplus folder, but windows keeps telling me not to find drivers compatible with an x64 system in that folder. I also tried to disable the digital signature check, without success. This is on both windows 11 and windows 10 PCs. I've also enabled debug usb...
There's no problem using Windows drivers.
Isn't the phone recognized as fastboot device?
Attach device manager screenshot.

After flash recovery, when i go to the recovery mode, i see this mex:

It's a known thing that you can flash on any custom ROM only if you're on oxygenOS 10 or 11 version. Respectively, if you are on android 12, then you first need to flash with unbrick tool (msmtool) anroid 10 (EU/Global/India) or android 11 (India).
