If you flash the fastboot rom with miflash , you can do everything like before. Otherwise, this is the guide-

@ybregeon2016 were you successful on rooting and twrp? What method did uou use and which twrp did you install? Thr number of different versions and the overly complicated methods are too confusing...
Thanks in advance

Flashing miui8 6.9.9 MM relocked my bootloader,so i suggest to check whether your bootloader got relocked again or not.
If its locked unlock it via mi unlock tool.
I am using alka twrp , and rooted my rom by flashing supersu zip from twrp.
To install twrp i used fastboot commands.

Hi all. My RN3 is currently on global stable MIUI 8.0.6.0 which os LL based. I want to switch over to Global beta which is MM.
I dont want to use MiFlash as I bricked my device twice earlier flashing the MM file.
Can I flash the MM recovery zip through TWRP? Should I use Alka Twrp to flash and do I need to do anything else after that? Can anyone please help me with exact steps to get MM global beta through TWRP?
Go to xiaomi.eu and get a zip that Global MM modified (only remove bloatware I think) and flash it via TWRP.
MiFlash actually rescue me from a soft-brick one week ago. MiFlash shouldn't brick your device if you doing it right.
MiFlash works perfectly with Global Stable, I don't know about Global Dev, but I have a solution if you want a official way to go Global Dev.
I will assume you are not flash any custom recovery yet, and still at stock recovery. And no bootloader unlock needed.
Flash Global Stable via MiFlash and update Global Dev via stock recovery with recovery zip.
I do it once when I go from MIUI 7 Stable to MIUI 8 Beta few months ago, and it works very well.
dev roms should b flashed with custom recovery bro..
I have nothing against MiFlash but my PC USB ports seems to be having a problem when I flash using MiFlash and it stops midway with some read error..I had that problem twice..
So I am always using Alka TWRP for flashing CM 14.1 builds from LL directly. Wanted to check if I can do that with MIUI 8 Global Dev too using their recovery zip file. Heard it causes bootloops. Please detail the steps of flashing through TWRP. Thats the safest for me

When you go from miui lp to miui mm , your bootloader will be relocked and you have to unlock it again and flash twrp.
Actually, TWRP remains, you only need to unlock it with MiUnlock in fastboot mode. And then you can go to twrp or system. Because BL is locked it causes bootloop

I tried to unlock my bootloader via
Miunlock tool.. I got my device permission through sms on 19november
from unlock mi team,
After that I m trying to unlock my device, But it's stuck at 50% (Another
account ), It's already 8days over, Still I m not able to unlock my
bootloader officially,
So if I unlocked my bootloader by fastboot miflash unofficially method,
- My Mi protection and
- My device ll void warranty??
What would be the cons if I unlocked unofficially..
You need to boot in EDL mode and then flash with MiFlash china/global dev fastboot ROM. For that you dont need to unlock BL. Then you will be able to unlock it on dev ROM.
I had exact same problem

I dont want to install custom rom now urgently later i will see,
So now i want to Backup my MIUI 8.0.6.0 Stable rom for future.. i m satisified with my stable rom..
Now if i am going to install official twrp recovery, any problem to get future OTA updates, Can i upgraded to future MIUI stable roms after installed twrp??
No you cant upgrade OTA if you have official TWRP.
It only works with ZCX TWRP, I suggest flash zcx, backup all partitions to microSD and then happy flashing.

Clarify whether you have already unlocked your bootloader, as you mentioned you unlocked your phone. I understood that to mean that you unlocked the bootloader.
The instructions are all over everywhere.
I too came from a Samsung so I know exactly what you think. The only thing you have to do differently is unlock the bootloader and there are clear instructions out there to do so. Flashing TWRP is about the same, so you can decide which version you wish to use. I use the standard but I started out using Cofface so perhaps you should consider using TWRP Alka or Cofface.
Flashing SuperSU is the same with TWRP as doing it on a Samsung. That isn't different.
I already download twrp 3.0.2.2 Official but how to install this twrp my device??

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.
Some info:-
Redmi Note 3 Kenzo
Officially unlocked bootloader
ZCX recovery
64bit PC
MiFlash Tool Beta
My question is how to flash the latest MIUI developer ROM properly using fastboot method ? I want to remove root and TWRP without losing IMEI or baseband.

There's a tutorial in MIUI official page about flashing via fastboot.
And I can't recall, but I think it blocks bootloader again.
P.S: And be sure to do a backup of everything you want to keep before doing anything.
I have Kate with miui 10.2 global stable and I want to flash mokee rom for kenzo on it what steps should I follow after unlock bootloader and flash zcx twrp and what about frimware does the kenzo ROM will make problems with network for Kate ? should I flash the frimware first after wipe data and system then flash the ROM then gapps ?

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.

Ah, yes I didn't know that the process was different now. I was just trying to do the Mi Unlock thing in order to flash these custom roms, not gonna use MIUI.

ONLY CUSTOM ROMS ARE ALLOWED.
