Can't go through initial setup screen - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers

Hi,
I've got a RN3, snapdragon version, 3GB of RAM. Unlocked bootloader. TWRP 3.0.2-2
I've been using CM for a while, android 6.0.1 and I've been trying now for a few days to move to Nougat.
I've tried different roms: NitrogenOS, lineage OS, resurrectionRemix.
I've also tried flashing different versions os miui firmware: 7.3.16, 7.3.23, 7.3.30
So, after all that, the result is always the same. The flashing seems successful, the phone boots but then I cannot go through the initial setup screen.
I choose the wifi network but when I try to enter the password, the screen resets every 5 seconds or so. I know it's resetting/reloading because the password I've typed so far goes away and I have to start again. It happens every few seconds and I cannot setup wifi properly.
I tried changing the password to aaaaaaaaaa to make it easy and quick to setup. Once I go through that, it stays for ever in the next screen "checking information" (or something like that). Again, it seems to be reloading this screen every few seconds.
is there something am I missing? Maybe I'm flashing firmware/rom in the wrong order?
I'm back with android 6.0.1 now and the phone works fine.
thanks in advance for your help.

thanks @VaibhavKumar07
so, this is exactly what I've tried a few times.
what about wipes and all that stuff?
I don't mind doing a clean install and reinstalling/reconfiguring everything.
I've tried different things, but for example what is mentioned in the thread "CM13/14/14.1/AOSP N firmware for KENZO/KATE [VoLTE][12.1.2017]"
-Reboot to TWRP recovery
-Flash firmware
-Factory reset (data, cache and dalvik-cache)
-Flash your favorite Marshmallow or Nougat ROM
-Reboot your phone
is that still valid for the nightly builds from April 2017?

On Cm firmwares I was unable to get VoLTE working so recommend you to flash Miui beta firmware search in SD Rom or guide section you'll find em if not message me again .
Regarding procedure :
- First flash Twrp 3.1.1.0 from official site cuz that's latest
- Next go & wipe check everything except SD card & OTG
- Flash Firmware
- Flash Rom
- Flash Gapps Arm *64 Android N from Open apps
- Flash Any Add-ons if required like kernel or Sound enhancement mods ( optional )
- Clean cache/dalvik cache
- Reboot
Mention the Rom you're flashing!

So, I did all that several times, except for flashing the latest twrp version. I'm on 3.0.2-2 because it flashes ok but when rebooting it's back to 3.0.2-2. I'm doing this from fastboot. I'm not only loading, but flushing. It seems to be ok but then it's gone after reboot.
Anyway, I've tried this procedure with 3 different roms:
ResurrectionRemix
LineageOS
Nitrogen OS
flashing latest versions for each rom.
Could the twrp not updating properly have something to do with this issue? does the latest version fix some flashing issues with Nougat?
the thing is that if flashed and boots, but it doesn't run properly as mentioned.
I will try to get latest twrp version working and report back if that makes any difference.

so, still fighting with this.
i managed to upgrade to twrp 3.1.0-1, all good.
however, i still have the same problem with the initial screen, it keeps reloading every few seconds and can't finish the setup or even skip it.
i've tried different versions of firmware. I've also tried flashing the latest miui rom (dev and global) and then a custom rom.
i've tried different builds (different dates) of the following roms:
nitrogenOS
lineageOS
aospextended
mokee
resurrectionremix
exact same behaviour with all these roms.
what am I doing wrong? i'm on marshmallow and everything works fine, but stuck moving to nougat. do I have to flash something not mentioned already to move from custom MM to custom Nougat?

Flash gapps and firmware.
Hope it may work for you.

Google Play services stopped | CM13 for GT-i9300

I had Unofficial 5.1.1 installed on my Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-i9300. I updated my device via CM Updater to CM13 6.0.1 Marshmallow. After updating, I am getting an error Google Play services has stopped, unfortunately. I cannot access any Google App.
I've flashed the GApps through OpenGapps. But after flashing GApps, phone stucks on Bootloop. I've tried many variants (pico, nano, stock) but none of them worked. I am still stucked at boot screen.
HELP!

Definitely Gapps problem.
1) Backup your data.
2) clean install Marshmallow rom (wipe data/ factory reset & install)
3) look for the correct Gapps (slim zero Gapps work for me)
You might know, but just telling - make sure the Gapps is for Android 6.0
P.S: don't panic and flash several things at once. Maybe you haven't clean flashed the CM 13, that might be the reason.
Clean flash 13.0 and don't boot yet after and go back to recovery, instead flash gapps immediately after flashing the rom. If you dont then you're going to have a bad time. Hope I helped
Done. Flash CWM and Boom
Thank You @sashankps. Slim Zero Gapps worked for me.
What I did?
1. Installed CWM Recovery.
2. Wiped everything.
3. Installed CM 13 (6.0.1)
4. Flashed Slim Zero Gapps.
5. Done.
PS: For future readers, please note that do not wipe cache/data after installing Gapps. After finishing above steps directly Reboot your system.

Glad it helped.
I was a CWM recovery user myself, but the development is static, I would suggest you move on to TWRP - chances of you encountering flashing problems is less.
Next Time.

Settings FCs on setting fingerprint/password/pin/pattern on AOSP/NOS Oreo

Hi all. I have tried out both AOSP and NOS Oreo, but am unable to set password or pattern or pin - trying to do so force closes the settings app.
Here's what I've tried:
- Wiping data, cache, system, internal, dalvik and then flashing the rom
- Using the Format Data option and then flashing the rom
- Flashing miui 7.7.2 firmware and then flashing the rom
- Flashing the rom with and without the gapps
- Flashing the rom and Agni 10.5 kernel for NOS Oreo
None of the permutations seem to be working. I'm using TWRP 3.0.0-0 (update: tried using latest version of redwolf twrp too) and my bootloader is unofficially unlocked., if that is somehow related to what's going on here. I found one or two person facing this problem in the rom threads, and posted this myself in that thread, but the only suggestions received were to clean flash the rom.
Would really appreciate a helping hand here.
Here is the logcat recorded while reproducing the issue - Though I started the logcat at just the right moment, the log became rather large very quick
post logcat, it would help the developers to debug
Have you tried to use Red Wolf Recovery instead?
Yes, tried using redwolf about an hour back.
Yes sir, tried using latest redwolf too. (The first answer I try to comment on doesnt display the add comment textbox. Weird.)
flash the latest firmware that included aboot (bootloader file)
Hey. Thanks for the suggestion. I'm out of the loop of the current development though, can you please provide me the link to the firmware you are talking about? I tried googling with "aboot bootloader redmi note 3" but couldn't find much. Thanks a lot already.
IT WORKED! Led me to a miui forums thread, where a user had posted this " i reccomended to using zcx twrp for unofficial bootloader.first u need to download about_mod.zip, i dont have the link so u can search in google. Flash like usual the rom what u want via twrp than flash about_mod.zip before u rebooting the phone. im using unofficial ubl too and im using that way to change the rom or upgrade my rom ps. always to backup before u try. always wipe dalvic, cache, data, system if u change ur rom."
Voila, problem was solved. Thanks a ton, friend, I have been stuck at it for like 10+ hours now.

Trying to install ResurrectionRemix, causes bootloop

So here is my situation: I have a 3GB kenzo model with 6.3.24 EU ROM and ZCX TWRP 3.0.0-0. Of course bootloader in unlocked. Since the TWRP is pretty old, I updated it to RedWolf V3.1.
What I did:
Wipe: Dalvik/System/Data/Cache
Install Beta 7.9.22 or Stable 8.5.6.0 Kenzo firmware (tried with both)
Install RR image: RR-N-v5.8.5-20170924-kenzo-Final.zip
Install open gapps ARM64 7.1 (or not)
Wipe caches (also tried without wiping it)
Reboot
Bootloop
I know the first boot can take some time, so I let it run for 30+ minutes, still, only bootloop happened. Tried it a couple times, changing firmware, wiping caches at the end, ditching gapps etc. Images checked for md5 checksum on the phone, they are not corrupted. I was able to restore the EU ROM, but I really want to try out ResurrectionRemix. What could possibly the problem be?
Same here...i flash all nougat rom and got bootloop..now i stay in mm only...:C

So you mean to flash the latest stock ROM, won't it remove TWRP and lock the bootloader? And how to "hack" the emmc bootloader? Sorry, I'm a newbie
Just wait for at least 15 minutes after flashing

What do you mean, wait in TWRP for 15 minutes or when booting up the OS? As I said, I waited for 30+ minutes while it booted up.
Try installing ROM without flashing the firmware

That was the first thing I did (I didn't know a firmware was needed so I only flashed the RR ROM). Same bootloop
You could try to format data partition. Then wipe system,data,cache,dalvik cache and internal partition. After that Copy actually firmware, rom and opengapps arm64 pico in internal memory (Download all files again. Maybe archiv was damaged). Then flash firmware, rom, gapps and do wipe Cache/dalvik and reboot. Then report.

Did it, same result. Wiped everything, copied zips to internal storage, flashed from there and boom, bootloop
Hmm strange. You could test a good modified rom of rr.
Try this Rom:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673791459329049490
And these Gapps:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673791459329049438
If it all not Work, you have to flash actually official Rom to restore all with edl.
I have the exact same problem. Cant flash any ROM without getting bootloop. The bootloop though isnt a standard one, i think. I get the logo of the ROM and the phone starts to give Tiny vibrations in regular periods of time. I also left the phone for a long time hoping it'll eventualy boot. No luck. Tried flashing stock ROM with miflashtool and edl. Didnt help as well. I wonder if it could be the fault of any previous roms i had installed.
Twrp:
-are you sure you are not in read mode? Change to writemode.
-All relevant partitions mounted?

Changed to writemode.. default options selected in the mounts screen.
unable to flash any Nougat roms- stuck in boot animation.
is it because the bootloader was unlocked unofficially via lollipop fastboot ROM 7.1.8??
All right, got it working.
I flashed the latest official MIUI ROM with the official flashing tool with the option "clear all". Then I had to open the bootloader again, then flash TWRP, then flash RR, and it works! Looks like something was wrong with the previous installation, the clearing everything did the job.
Were your bootloader unlocked officially?

Backup all of your data from internal storage and flash latest fastboot developer ROM and setup it. This will fix all issues regarding ROMs, zips, bootloops and firmware and any other. After that flash latest ZCX recovery as RedWolf recovery causes problems for flashing ROMs and zips as per my experiance. Then simply flash RR and gapps and boot and wait for 15 minutes and till then don't restart device.

Android Pie android.process.media keeps stopping

Hey guys,
Googe play services keeps stopping
android.process.media keeps stopping
bluetooth keeps stopping
at the first start (google register)
I tried: 2 different roms: mcaosp + pixel, newest gapps (nano), flashed data, cache, dalvik + system
Do you have any solutions/ tipps? I want to try pie
Greetings
I had this problem too, tried all variants of gapps, bitgapps. All variants of twrp, all pie ROMs and same error. You can try and see that if you create a second user in the phone, suddenly all works perfectly.
tl;dr:Just try crdroid ROM, the one worked for me on the owner user
Flash the ROM first without gapps then boot normally.Turn off phone,go to TWRP and then flash GAPPS.
Had this issue many times and its quite annoying.
Thanks for the answers. I tried this 2 times ;(
It just dont work with your tipps. I will go back to oreo until I get news about this
no fix yet ;/
Flashed all except usb otg + sd card, installed firmware 9.6.2 and tried syberia + arrow rom. (Followed the install tutorials)
Android PIE dont like me ;(
EDIT: Got AOSP Extended to work but now it searches for updates since 10 minutes. (I have good wlan <.<)

Redmi note 4 keeps rebooting with custom roms

Hi, I've recently repaired my mido with a new screen after a fall. After this I tried some custom roms. Initially I managed to install lineage 18.1. After I switched to dotOS. From this point on, the phone restarts a few seconds after the launcher appears. To fix this I used MiFlah to install latest MIUI, formatted data, wiped everything, tried TWRP and Orangefox, tried other custom roms with no changes. Now only stock MIUI11 works. Other custom roms (included lineage) gets the phone continuously rebooting. Could be an hardware problem? What am I doing wrong? It is the first time in ages I have problems flashing ROMS .-.
Thanks.

The vendor partition could have some code/ file that persists stock ui or system
and make sure your phone was rooted before flashing custom rom
and also via twrp flashing. from what Ive seen flash in twrp before flash custom rom( https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=disable+encryption+treble ) then flash the "verity and encryption disabler ,theres another one to re enable encyption only " then flash custom rom
after flashing custom rom reboot poweroff(switch phone off via twrp)
reboot into twrp and flash whatever else you need
now reboot to system and your phone should work fine
Thanks, it worked!
I did:
Flash last miui with miflash
Flash recovery
Flash you suggested zip
Format data
Flash lineage 17.1 (android10)
WIpe system, data, cache, art cache
Flash any android 11 ROM

Holy **** how did you come up with this.
Either the zip with Magisk somehow fixed it or installing the android 10 rom somehow. Either way doesn't make sense

Didn't work for me,
- did all the steps , exactly - flashed stock fastboot , then flashed Android 10 based rom crDroid + pico gapps. worked fine for 2 hours or so .
but interesting enough , phone freezes then shutdown without restarting , then i would go and trun it back on , but fingerprint not working now

so if you have magisk you can use a zip file to chmod 744 or 644 (it may be "chmod root 744" )the /persist partiton and thatll mean only true root has access
so 7 is read write execute 6 is read and write 4 is read only 5 is read execute i forgot which number was execute only 1 maybe?
so play with the permissions or look in the root folder for boot.p or permissions.sh then you can modify in there the permissions, it can cause bootloop , so always keep an original copy or youll hae to reflash(DISCLAIMER)
so you can pull the file using adb+root / or a root explorer
Copy it to phone then edit then copy to SDCARD
reboot to twrp then use shell/terminal "chmod 777" the partition where the file is / or read write everything
then copy the file and overwrite the original
