TWRP Brick - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers

Hey today I unlocked my bootloader and installed twrp.TWRP worked fine but when I tried to reboot to system my phone got into a boot loop(TWRP was still working).I tried to flash it again and I didn't succeed and moreover my bootloader was locked again.
Although I have unbricked my phone, I want to give another try to TWRP . Can someone tell me why this happened and how can I avoid it.
Thanks.

Which recovery did you flash? What MIUI version are you running?

I'm not sure if you're on kenzo or mtk (forgot codename) so it's for kenzo:
twrp-3.0.M4-0.img: https://dailyuploads.net/oxkk19zuk72u
I'm using it for long time (since release), works flawless.

[Q] Unlocking bootloader official way

I just bought Redmi Note 3 SD. I am running the latest global stable build based on LP. I wanted to move to Global Beta Builds. I tried to flash the recovery zip using updater app. But it always showed "couldn't verify update package".
So i searched a bit. And think it requires bootloader to be unlocked first. But I have some doubts :
1) After unlocking bootloader can I flash global beta recovery rom zip using updater app ? Or fastboot is the only method even after unlocking bootloader ?
2) If I am stuck at 50% during the unlocking process, will the phone wont boot not anymore ? Or I can boot it just like it was before ?
3) Does data gets wiped during bootloader unlocking ?
Thanx in advance...

1. Any rom that supports flashing through recovery can be flashed through the recovery.
2. If you are stuck at 50% while unlocking your phones boot loader, don't worry. Your phone will boot and work just fine.
3. Nothing will be wiped after unlocking your phones boot loader, everything stays the way it is.
I hope I answered your questions

And you don't need an unlocked bootloader to flash the beta global MM ROM. You can use miflash and flash the phone in edl mode. If you take a backup in MIUI first, you can restore all your apps and data too. If you're even braver, you can replace the stock recovery image in the ROM with ZXCTWRP at the same time so you can flash SuperSU, Xposed, etc. all with a locked bootloader.
Download an older dev build like 6.8.18 which should work through the updater app, then you can go to 6.9.29 after that.

I don't know. I'm perfectly happy on the MM beta and have no desire to go back to LP.
Good luck.
Just got my RN3 SD last week and I'll share what I encountered

No, you don't need unlocked bootloader to flash latest Global beta. What you need to do is boot to EDL mode and flash Global Beta through MiFlash tool.
TIP Make sure fist that your device is properly recognized by your PC through correct drivers. Usually the MiFlash drivers are sufficient but I had problems with the MTP driver so I had to search the internet for this

Click to expand...

I don't think so since your error seem to depend on the updater app, and not the bootloader
TIP If you do decide to unlock bootloader, try to unlock in your current ROM first before flashing Global Beta. In my case, I applied for permission on Day1, Got my permission on Day 3, Failed to unlock until Day 5 where I EDL flashed Global beta and I was able to unlock by then. I think I could have unlocked faster if I EDL flashed Global Beta earlier

It will still boot. You just need to hold the power button long enough (you're in fastboot when unlocking)

No. Data gets wiped when you flash something in fastboot/EDL or when you wipe it in custom recovery
Other Info
ROM that came with the Phone is official MIUI 7.2.3
Global beta I flashed is 6.9.22
After unlocking bootloader, I flashed ZCX TWRP
After Flashing ZCX TWRP, I flashed xiaomi.eu ROM 6.9.29 and got bootloop. To fix this I had to flash LazyFlasher.zip after xiaomi.eu ROM and then did a factory reset via TWRP

Yeah but i didn't wanted to move into this miflash stuff right now. I had bad experience with my last phone mi3 when i flashed it using miflash. So i want to just move to Global beta MM build using stock recovery..

I also got the permission 1 week back. But i read that it takes usually 1 to 2 weeks to get the data updated in their databases. And i don't want to go to EDL and MiFlash stuff yet. I had bad experience with Mi3 when i used MiFlash

Need help can't revert to stock!

OK so I'm on cm13 and I initially wanted to flash cm14.1 so I flashed the updated TWRP (v3.0.2-0 bc 3.0.2-1 wouldn't boot) and I factory reset and try to flash cm14.1 but I get an error7 and I read that that might be bc I'm on the old bootloader so I try to flash OOS 3.1.4 (newest to my knowledge) but that also fails with an error7 and I tried flashing the stock recovery via fastboot but it won't boot.. any suggestions?

Thanks, I figured it out tho, I had to flash OOS v2.2.0 and it boot fine then after a little searching I found my stock recovery backup from OOS 2.2.0 and it worked, and now I'm updating it to the newest oos version by the OTA in system and after I'm done and fully updated, I'll reflash the latest TWRP and make a nadroid backup and try flashing cm14.1

Hey quick question, do I need to reunlock the bootloader after the method I did? The reason I'm asking is bc when I boot into fastboot to try to reflash twrp (after flashing) I reboot to recovery and it's still the stock recovery? Any suggestions? Thanks

If it's already unlocked, you don't need to do it. Did you lock it again? If you have bootloader locked, flashing recovery will fail. Anyways unlocking will not hurt. FYI Just don't lock bootloader unless you are totally stock with stock recovery.

I didn't relock it but was curious if by reverting to stock and updating to the latest version of oos that it might be locked considering I'm on the newest bootloader now or so I think at least haha

problem with twrp and oos 3.x.x

hello,
my current situation: i am on oos 2.2.3, not rooted, twrp 3.0.1-0 running.
i want to install a 3.x.x oos, version, i wanted to install 3.1.2 first, cause oneplus site i can install that directly form 2.2.3 (no such info on 3.1.3 and 3.1.4)
when i try to install with twrp, it says "this package is for "Oneplus" devices, this is a "ONE"
i think i am using the wrong twrp version. tried to install the newest (3.0.3-0), but this one doenst work, can not boot into it.
please help
Best is to fastboot flash old OOS 2 recovery
Then, with it, flash the 2.2.3. Reboot. then Flash 3.1.4. with the recovery
First you need to flash official oxygen os recovery for android 5.1 lollipop https://s3.amazonaws.com/oxygenos.oneplus.net/OPX_recovery.img Now you will be able to boot the phone. Now download and copy oxygen os 3.1.4 to internal memory http://downloads.oneplus.net/devices/oneplus-x/ Reboot into recovery and flash the rom.
Aftrr successful flash of oos3 boot into fastboot and flash latest twrp from twrp website.. This time it should work.
thanks, it work with the costum recovery.
on 3.1.4 i installed a slightly older twrp form sparkfire (3.0.2 i think), rooting and installing xposed worked fine though.
is it important to have the latest twrp?
and another question. at some point in my hours long struggel with updating my opx i softbricked it. i guess my bootloader was locked and i tried to install another recovery. i expected it to be still unlocked from my first rooting months ago. when does the bootloader lock?

It is always recommended to use latest (bugs free)
You can use this one https://dl.twrp.me/onyx/twrp-3.0.3-0-onyx.img latest as of now. And no u didn't brick ur phone. U flashed a new twrp for old bootloader version. Thts y u got stuck with oneplus logo. Its all oneplus things. Its always preferred to use stock recovery for updating bootloader which is safe. Check your bootloader state by giving this cmds "fastboot oem device-info"

Guys
Download Miui update in zip file and flash via recovery.
It doesn't revert to stock recovery and keeps your twrp along with root intact.

Why don't you try installing recovery using fastboot method and then flash magisk 20.1 zip through recovery.
Please check if bootloader is still unlocked before trying this.
