Hi everyone, im new to XDA. But that's kinda beside the point.
I have a Redmi Note 3 with Snapdragon 650 and 2gb ram 16gb storage. I wanted to install lineage os/R.remix because im kinda bored of miui and wanted nougat. I did the following steps to install.
1. Unlocked bootloader via no-permission or hack method.
2. Installed TWRP latest as of 10-6-2017 thru Fastboot.
3. Wiped cache,dalvik and data
4. Flashed R.Remix nightly 10-6-17 and then Gapps.
In this step, I had a problem. It was giving me error:7 (xiaomi.verify.modem) and so I modded the rom (updater-script) and worked. It had the animation loop soflashed NON-HLOS modem binary thru Fastboot and flashed the original signed ROM. But, the problem persists. It's stuck in the boot animation and looping infinitely. I left it for 30min-1hr and still loops. What do I do now? Please help me in this regard. Till then, MIUI again
bro you forgot to flash lazy flasher at first boot in rom after installing twrp.

There's no need of lazyflasher on a custom Rom!
Do you want to know something else about what I did to solve the problem? Although I rolled back to miui bcos I needed my phone:good:

Don't flash that miui firmware from post above, it will relock your bootloader because you are not officially unlocked.
Best way to go is to flash latest global dev fastboot rom, unlock officially. This way you will have no problems with flashing nougat custom roms.
So, should I install the latest global developer rom? I checked yesterday it was v7.6.7 while latest global stable was 8.2.4 which I have currently installed. I also checked via fastboot OEM device-info and, yeah, bootloader locked.:crying: So, I should install the dev. Rom and ask for permission and then unlock, like, the official way? I'm waiting for the reply. Make it clear and I'll try it. Thnx.
Edit : I also somehow got TWRP uninstalled:crying::crying: I don't know if this unexpected or was doomed to happen but yeah, again, just saying.
I just asked for permissions to unlock and..... Surprise!!! I got the permission in 5 minutes!!!
I feel kinda sad for the people who are waiting for more than 21 days...

This MI Flash gets stuck at 99% even tho I got permissions (an SMS from MI) and shows current account not bound to device. What do I do? I also tried binding my account to phone by settings-->dev. options-->mi unlock which gave code 86012 and some Chinese characters which I honestly can't understand. I also tried installing global dev and doing the same thing but gives same 86012 and Chinese. Plzz help me in this regard. Would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Actually, nvm. I got lineage is installed and running on my phone by following a guide on how to install twrp without unlocking bootloader. Worked like a charm for me. I'm typing this now on lineage:silly: Anyways, thanks for the effort. Thread closed.
You could've just waited for 7 days and you would've unlocked your bootloader officially
how did it go buddy ?

Hello from Australia,
I recently purchased the Redmi Note 4 (Global) and absolutely love it! After owning iPhone for the last 8 yrs I am finding it very refreshing. I am looking forward to being part of this Android community
My questions is this - I am very keen on rooting the device but have also found that there is a pending update to 8.5.4.0 (Miui) and 7.0 (Nougat). Will I still be able to root it after I update and if so where is the best guide for me to do this?
Many thanks

yes, you can root it after updating to 7.0. First unlock bootloder. Install twrp recovery. and then flash SuperSu zip.
Note-Dont forget to flash lazyflasher-no-verify-opt zip after flashing twrp or you would go into bootloop.

steps given in the guide are almost correct.First unlock bootloader which is the biggest hassle in whole process. Probably you wont be able unlock bootloader in first few tries as mi unlock tool will probably stuck at 99% and show error "account not binded to device".You can wait a few days and try again but i dont think that will work. To solve this problem what i did was-
download miui developer rom version 7.2.16 link-http://bigota.d.miui.com/7.2.16/miui_HMNote4XGlobal_7.2.16_e6eed016d8_6.0.zip
Now go to updater app choose downloaded zip as update package. Now updater would start decrypting it and your phone will be updated to developer rom. Now when on developer rom go to updater app and there will be an ota for latest version, update.Now when on latest developer version try to unlock again using mi unlock tool. I dont know if it will work for you but it worked for me.
Now your bootloader is unlocked, go to mido section in xda forums and download twrp for redmi note 4. To flash twrp recovery, there are many ways. process given in your guide may also work.But what I did was downloaded "mini flasher" link-"https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=25193&task=get" install mini flasher.choose install twrp, browse to the recovery image you downloaded and it will automatically flash it and reboot your phone to recovery.
Now when your phone is in recovery mode coose 'install'
choose the lazyflasher zip file you earlier downloaded. now reboot. again go to recovery install SuperSu zip file(link given your guide) reboot. your phone will probably bootloop one time but dont worry it is fine. now when your phone reboots it is rooted.
Well I sucessfully updated the phone to Nougat and it was very easy.
Now I have tried to unlock the bootloader but keep getting this message:
您所在的IP申请次数超标
I have googled it and it says I have tried too many times from my IP address. But I haven't - this was the first time. I have tried 3 times, with the same result.
Does anyone know how to get around this problem?
Thanks
The nougat update eats to much ram I got only 1.3 GB free ram
You could try Miui 9 beta channel after miui 8.5 update without unlocking or rooting. Just had to download the miui 9 recovery rom package. Place it in folder named downloaded-rom. Backup your imp data before proceeding. Goto the updater app or settings about, tap three dot menu. Choose update and select the downloaded file. It will erase all your data and update to miui 9.
They release updates weekly. And battery backup is outstanding.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73086754&postcount=124
Anyone able to help with this? I have read it is a common issue for it to incorrectly say you have had too many attempts but not really any conclusive answer as to how to get around the problem.
I am really keen on unlocking my bootloader. Thanks in advance.
Hello everyone, I and my father have the exact same phone (kenzo). The problem is that even though on mine everything works like a charm and I have changed a lot of roms, my father's phone every time I try anything goes soft bricked or have problems with signal and settings. Currently I have flashed via edl the Chinese Dev rom(5.1.1) with which everything works, besides the restrictions of the rom version(language, gapps). I must say that when I first install the Chinese Dev the Sim is not recognised or I have no signal. After the first update everything is ok and calling function works like a charm. After That I try to install twrp (zxc by ~xm) and restore a backup from the previous working installation, but the only I get is settings app fc and problems with calls. Neither of the two sides hear the other while in call. This occurred when I flashed a mm bootloader zip in order to boot to nitrogen is. (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3tM1cVKiyp6Q3RvNUtLdEp1Q3M/view ) The rom booted but I had no sound in calling, and the other side couldn't hear either. Any ideas?
Thanks for your time!

I used to unlock it the official way. I found a post in the nitrogenOS thread that said that if the rom doesn't boot I should flash the zip that I have mentioned in my post. They said it was the mm bootloader. The zip contains a file named emmc_appsboot.mbn which is also on the unofficial unlock zip. So I suppose I unlocked it unofficially. I must say that every time after flashing fastboot rom the mi unlock said that bootloader was already unlocked.

Yes yes I know that with my kenzo everything works if I follow your advice. But with my father's one simply doesn't. I flashed the official miui with mi flash tool. The bootloader remained unlocked without reason. Also I tried clean flash and lock option on the tool without success. Then I wiped data and dalvik and cache and dirty flashed a miui custom rom over it. For the time being everything works perfectly except of the fingerprint sensor. Aida 64 recognize the fp, every other app not. Also I flashed radon kernel because I had settings app FC. That's all. I hope the info help you understand the situation that I am in, and find a way to make it respond as mine...
Mine and the other are exactly the same, they even had the same number on the sticker in the back and same fingerprint sensor. Mine takes every rom, unlock update without problems. My father's not. It is crazy...
Something really weird happened while I was installing roms. Someone how my OEM got locked and I flashed and voila stuck on the oneplus logo. I have my fastboot working properly also got twrp installed. The thing is that my bootloader is locked so i cant flash and I cant unlock bootloader because I cant flash and set oem unlock. I know this is ****ed up and also my volume up key is not working so we have to work without that. . Whenevr i turn on the device the powered by android quickly disappears and i am in the fastboot. If I do oem unlock it sends me to the recovery. I am not sure why i can't OEM unlock in fastboot. I don't care about data and stuff. Just want the phone working. The unbrick guide wants me to press the volume up key to get to the qualcomm flashing. Unfortunately i can't do that. Need of dire help please ;_;
I kind of have the same problem as of 2 days (see https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/bricked-oneplus-x-unlock-bootloader-t3816387), which is kind of strange, as I haven't read anywhere else about it on the internet.

I've solved it bud. IF you have a working recovery and bootloader. Flash the stock OS. It'll flash even though the bootloader is locked and then your can oem unlock and do whatever.

Thank you. I've tried it, but the problem is that I'm stuck with the Oneplus recovery, as I've mentioned in my post. From there, I have 2 options to flash:
1) from internal memory. When I click this, nothing happens (no new screen or anything, nothing)
2) from USB (adb sideload). When I try to sideload the ROM using this option, it starts promising, but after a few seconds, it just says 'Installation failed' without any reason why. Just like for all other ROMS.
So... No progress here. I've also tried to flash the stock recovery (even though it should be on my phone already, maybe another version) using fastboot, but my OPX won't take it because the bootloader is still locked.
Last resort: I'll try the Oneplus live chat tomorrow, but I do not expect any useful information from that...

Well guess what, they could solve it.
Or at least partly. It appears that Oneplus has an updated version of the tool used in the mega unbrick guide: MSMDownloadTool V2.1 instead of V2.0. This tool did it's job perfectly, OOS was also installed, in contrast to V2.0 of the tool. I ****ed it up again after that (oops), but found the tool V2.1 online here (https://github.com/finlayacourt/Oneplus-X-Recovery). Some files are missing here like the system.img, but I just copied them from the folder of tool V2.0 found in the mega unbrick guide. It didn't work as perfectly as Oneplus's tool, but at least I was able to install OOS from the Oneplus bootloader, which I wasn't able to before. So knowing that, in the end, the result is the same as for their tool. A working OS again, perfect! So now I can unlock the bootloader again and continue the adventure.
Now, what I've found is that the mainboard I have on my OPX is a newer version (if you search on Google for 'oneplus E1003_15', you'll find some things about it, not much though). I'm 99% positive that this caused all the problems I've encountered. It is why TWRP couldn't see any storage, why the stock Oneplus recovery couldn't see any storage, why the tool V2.0 didn't work and why V2.1 did work. If I wanted a working TWRP, I had to install a modified version of TWRP which is compatible with the newer version, from here: https://www.android-hilfe.de/forum/...-1-oreo-rom-unofficial-onyx-8-1-x.867374.html (yes, once you're relying on German sites, you know you went very deep). After that, I could install LineageOS 14.1 again. I was unable to install the unofficial LineageOS 15.1 however, but knowing where I came from, what I've gone through and how much time I've lost on all of this, I think I'll just stick with LineageOS 14.1 until this baby can retire...
Got to say I only have very positive experiences with Oneplus and it's customer support, and this only adds to it!
Hi all, have a few questions that might seem daft to some but need to get my head around it.
I have my Mix 4 and its obviously running the CN Rom. It is littered with bugs and there are many features that do not work or just missing, to the point where i could not use it as my daily driver in its current form.
Ive been reading up on flashing the EU Odin rom, and see alot of the issues are already fixed in it.
So after 4 hours of faffing i have managed to request a bootloader unlock. and i understand this will be a full wipe and reinstall.
This is my first question 8 days wait!
1: how do I keep an eye on the time left?
2: I have what i think are all the files ready to go to flash, but i understand this is done through fastboot?
3: So no OTA updates after this i would have to keep reflashing manually.?
4: I here something about TWRP that would enable this, but dont quite understand the process, or where do the updates then come from?
5: Are there any security issues like running Banking applications after unlocking, as i think it plays with security issues.
Hope someone with better understanding can help.
Hi...
1) I use my calendar to see when the time is right to resume the unlocking process
2) there's tutorial for this ...

forum.xda-developers.com
3) yes... no OTAs from within the system, but ...
4) with TWRP you can flash the updates. You need to check,if the update-files are marked 'fastboot' or 'recovery'(TWRP)
5) Can't answer that one.
Good Luck.
Ok thanks for your help, still deciding to take the plunge or not, expensive bit of kit. Awhile to decide i guess.
so sorry another question, if we do this one withough twrp, can we just updat or is it a complete flash again?

Updating through TWRP should leave your apps and data intact.
Edit:It was way to early to answer the question... without twrp, only fastboot is possible as far as i know. When i used fastboot, i made a complete clean flash.
So once you have done it through fastboot you can use TWRP thereafter, thats cool.
I believe a CN to EU is a data wipe anyway.

I think I accidentally tried to restore a google backup from my old phone, guess there was an app it didnt like, anyway reflashed to 21.9.8 and all is going well, amazing improvement over the original. very pleased.
Been having a play and only found 1 issue as yet, when you lock an open app in recents, you can still swipe it away?.

Thanks for replying. Did you have to do anything special like Magisk hide to hide that you rooted the phone?
Im not rooted, just running custom rom. I have no need to root.
What if I want to go from EU to CN? Bought the phone. It came with EU rom. But I would like to install the official rom.
Hello, I'm about to buy this phone from tradingshenzen and i have question for you, does anybody successfully rooted this device? I'm planning to unlock bootloader there to install xiaomi.eu and root it, without root it's hard to use device personally for me. Is root possible for today? How long we have to wait to unlock bootloader? 72h or 8days? And when twrp will be available does flashing it delete user data? Thanks for replies
my unlock wait time is 7 days, flashed to EU developer weekly rom and rooted it with magisk patched boot image. did not manage to flash unofficial TWRP though always endup in with recovery_a partition not found. guess that have to wait till official TWRP is out.

Since the Mi Mix 4 is an A/B-Device, you will never ever find a recovery-partition.
I wanted to report, that if you update your rom, you will loose the Magsik SAR.

Well aware that the device is an A/B, no recovery partition. There is report of user success fully flashing unofficial TWRP using some Chinese tool (yet to find that tool). Maybe that tool flashes the recovery to the inactive boot partition.
I use to use the Mi9 which is an A/B device which I am able to flash TWRP.

I'm planning to unlock bootloader there to install xiaomi.eu and root it, without root it's hard to use device personally for me. Is root possible for today? How long we have to wait to unlock bootloader? 72h or 8days? And when twrp will be available does flashing it delete user data? Thanks for replies

Don't they offer to ship it with Xiaomi.eu installed on it already?
Yes, they do however you need to pay for it and wait another two weeks (roughly).

I bought version with CN system and unlocked, rooted and installed Xiaomi.eu by myself, it's quite easy, i prefered to get phone and start using it earlier even with cn miui
