Hi guys,
first of all: I am an idiot
I was using an old nightly from CM 13-kenzo and decided to do some preparation to finally migrate to Lineage without data loss.
So I wanted to go to CM14.1 before flashing the experimental Lineage and the nightly.
What did I flash with TWRP?
1.) ROM: cm-14.1-20161225-NIGHTLY-kenzo.zip
2.) GAPPS 7.1 ARM64 micro
3.) Firmware: CM14.1-firmware_20161205.zip
I think I should have flashed the firmware first, moreover, I didn't wipe caches.
What's happening now?
Recovery mode does not work (the display just flash for half a second)
Booting does not work (ofc )
Fastboot mode still works.
How can I fix this nice problem with Cyanogenmod?
Any help is much appreciated.
Bro,I also faced this problem. Just go to guides section and follow the guide"install zcx twrp without unlocking bootlader" one. And flash by that method twrp and you will get it all back.
I have also faced problem same you are facing and solved it!!!
Btw. which recovery you used while installing this build?

. Your bootloader is lock, if you still can get to fastboot, then enter edl mode and use miflash to unlock yourboot loader again
Thx. Does Miflash work on a chromebook?

Do you mean the MiFlash Unlock tool? That doesn't work.
It's saying "Your device isn't supported by Mi Unlock" Go to .../unlock to apply for Mi Unlock support.
If you mean XiaomiMiFlash tool, what exactly do I have to flash?

Yes, I mean Miflash tool. You need to folow this guide
http://en.miui.com/thread-235865-1-1.html
And remember you will lost all data in internal memory, you will get back to MIUI with that guide. Then try to unlock your bootloader officially or unofficially again.
Or if you woud like to take risk then you can try this way https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/unlock-unofficially-install-zcx-twrp-t3586778 without data lost

Regarding your 2nd link:
now bring your phone in action and turn on oem unlock from developer optipn(tap miui version 7 time and find developer option in additional option)
sign out of your mi account

That would be the impossible part. So I guess I've to work with the first link. Thanks.
So if you damaged the recovery and your bootloader is locked theres no way to rescue this phone without a xiaomi shop but good luck
Okay problem solved. I used this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/kate-guide-install-lineage-os-locked-t3546154 and it worked like a charm.

Hi guys,
Just recently purchased redmi note 3 pro 32gb from gearbest.
Phone should be international version with 7.2.13.00(LHOCNCL) preinstalled.
I found that I cannot flash any standard / developer ROM when official website by using built-in flash tool.
Any way to go from here? to at least receive OTA updates and in future I will like to try out Ressurection rom.
thanks.
Your ROM is unexsisting one, cooked by the seller.
You must flash a new one clean via EDL mode and MiFlash
This CN in the name means Chinese, and the numbers says that the rom is only modified to support more languages.

Does this mean i need to wait for unlock bootloader first?
my MI account has previous device linked which I just removed now and set to my new phone.
might take weeks to get approval?
or is there a guy to by pass the locked bootloader?
thanks.

No you wont loose your IMEI. Basically you are just flashing official MIUI Rom, your IMEI details are stored in another partition (non volatile) and FlashAll will not touch them.
You are safe to follow this guide, and by the way you would not be able to unlock the bootloader (the official way) from this vendor Rom. So if you plan to do so later, here you go with this first step.

Hi guys,
Before you say again a topic on a non bricked One Plus X, I would like to let you know that I've checked and try almost all of the tutorial I've seen on xda and one plus forum.
I was on CM14.1 with this ROM : https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-x/orig-development/rom-cyanogenmod-14-onyx-t3452150
Unfortunately, I made the 25-12-2016 update and it totally broke up the phone..
I download the OnePlus X OxygenOS 3.1.4 on the One Plus website. So I flash it on the stock recovery, it tells me "Install success" then I reboot and it stays on the bootlogo.
For information, I can't access the oem unlock menu if needed, but when I ask the oem device info it says unlocked. The phone is detected by the computer sometimes with unknown device and sometimes correctly with the qualcomm drivers..
I have a back up made from TWRP, I can access the device by the fastboot mode, it seems that all the operations written here worked but it doesn't install or even boot on TWRP..
Thanks for your help guys.
Are you using latest TWRP from website think version 3.0.3?

I'm not even using TWRP, since I can't boot on it.. But I tried to flash the twrp-3.0.2-2 from blue spark v41, after the installation via Flashboot, it doesn't boot up on the recovery..
So after flashing TWRP you use fastboot boot recovery.img and nothing happens?

Start by seeing if you can fastboot flash stock recovery from any 2.X.X OOS. Then fastboot flash twrp 3.0.2. If your on new bootloader meaning latest ROMs or OOS3 then you need to boot into 3.0.2 and from there you can flash IMG of twrp 3.0.3. Make sure you boot right back into recovery after flashing any twrp or it won't stick. This worked for me when I lost my recovery twice but always remember at your own risk. Not responsible if you make your phone into a paper weight.
Fix It!

Don't worry i have restored my OPX 5 days ago. I used the method of this video: https://youtu.be/R4SVSovw4Jo and files from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-x/general/guide-mega-unbrick-guide-hard-bricked-t3272108 , if it can help someone.
I have a RedmI Note 3 (kenzo) running Lineage OS 14.1
The RAM usage reports around 150MB of use only and there is no free RAM. So I think there is a problem with my phone and I decide to flash everything to start again.
I found a compatible kernel and flashed that new kernel and I got bootloop.
I read that if I flash the ROM again, the kernel will be replaced by the default one so I went to do that with TWRP.
Went to TWRP to flash my ROM and got error 7.
Read a bit more and I read that somethimes very old TWRP will show that message for new ROM.
Indeed, my TWRP was quite old.
Followed steps to flash my TWRP recovery to newer version in TWRP.
Now my TWRP recovery can't even work.
Try to flash ROM with ADB, but I forgot to enable debugging before bootloop.
Is there a way I can fix it?
I don't need the things on my phone.
I just want it to work again.
Thank you for reading and provide me with guidance to fix my phone.
Trying to flash MIUI ROM using MiFlash. Hope it works. Then I can work my way back to Lineage OS.

I have another thing to worry about. The charge light is not on and my phone won't shut down. It can only bootloop or in fastboot. I put it on fastboot now. Still don't know how to shut it down or not sure if it is charging because there is no charging light.
I followed this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/fix-bootloop-redmi-note-3-recovery-edl-t3521297
Flashed it, MiFlash says operation was successful but still won't boot up normally.
Now I don't have to worry about running out of battery because it boots to logo and turns off to nothing.

Hi.
I flash this recovery from this thread --> https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...-development/unofficial-twrp-3-1-1-1-t3709034

The phone boot first freeze and then reboot.
And then the nightmare has begin.
No matter what rom i flash its the same on all ROMS.

LoS 14,1 LoS 15.
AOSP.
I flash different recovery:
Redwolf, Official TWRP, TWRP for project treble for the new LOS 15.1
I remove the sd card.
Format all partition to different file system :ext4 , f2fs all the same.
Flash a different Firmware.
Boot freeze and the phone reboot.
When the phone enter in any custom recovery it dose`n reboot after 50 sec.
It only happened buy it booting the system.
I dont have any idea what to do.
This recovery from this man brick my phone.
Problem solve thanks to the @ArK96.
Solution 1:
Enter in EDL mode if you bootloader is unlocked --> https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...ool-redmi-note-4-edl-mode-o-removing-t3684024
Solution 2
Open the phone and enter in test point if your bootloader is locked --> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0vjrA9S0p0

Try to wipe the partitions but it write cant mount the data and the cache.
So i manual wipe data to exfat and the to ext4.
I do the same whit the cache and finaly it mount the partitions.
So i normaly flash the latest stable firmware (i try whit old one) Los 14.1 whit gapps and reboot.
The phone boot to the boot animation freeze and reboot.
Then start loading again this time boot the Los 14.1 but a few seconds later the phone freeze and reboot.
I happened again and again.
I can`t even take a logicat to get some info why is this happened.

Bruh! I don't know whether this will work but it is worth a try.
Boot into EDL mode and then use MiFlash to flash Official MIUI. You can visit this thread HERE, to know how to boot into EDL.
No guarantees but worth a try, since your bootloader is locked it's the only way I suppose.

Hmm. I don't think you quite understood what I said. If fastboot is working on your use it enter EDL mode using the tool I mentioned before and then use MiFlash to flash MIUI. Using MiFlash on EDL mode doesn't require bootloader unlocking.

My computer port discover qualqom diganostic port.

But the MiuiFlash Tool dont detect the EDL and i cant flash the whit Miflaash tool.
The problem is that when i flash official MIUI 9 it flash for 1 sec and it write succses.
But it dint flash anything.
So the only solution for me is same how to flash stock Miui or atleast stock recovery some how.

Hey there! Don't worry I faced exactly same issue! If you go to service center those idiots will tell you to replace motherboard which is 80% of cost of phone itself. Well they are idiot! I fixed my phone myself! Its not hardware issue! You just messed up your system partitions! Believe me I Know your case! Phone would just boot up successfully then reboot after freezing! Right?

Do you have unlocking permissions from Xiaomi? If yes then thats very good news for you! Actually you don't need miui in order to unlock bootloader if you are not logged into device using mi account which im pretty sure of as you are not on miui. I would recommend you to download latest mi unlock tool and unlock your device! I think it will be unlocked successfully if your mi account has unlocking permissions!
Let me tell you, you need to add account in developers options only when you are on miui and you mi account is logged in on the device! In your case you are neither on miui not logged in with mi account on device so it will unlock! Trust me I was in same place as you! Just breathe in and out and follow this:
* Download mi unlock tool
* Start mi unlock tool and login with you mi account which had permissions
* Connect your phone in fastboot mode
* Click on unlock and it will unlock successfully then you are good to go!

You are quite not getting what I am trying to say! Just strictly follow the steps:
1) Download Mi unlock tool
2) Run the tool and login with you mi account ( it doesn't matter if you are logged into miui or not)
3) Connect your phone to PC in fastboot mode (power+ volume down button)
4) Your phone will be detected as Mi device in unlock tool
5) Click on unlock and it will be completed
First of all do this then proceed with anything else! Its late so I'm going to sleep! Will check back on you in the morning! If you face any problem then keep me posted along with screenshots! Hope it helps!

The problem is solve.
Lock the page 1 !
Unlocking Bootloader1. Make sure you have a sim and active mobile data. Then go to about phone tap build number 7-8 times. After that go to advanced settings > developer options > turn on OEM unlocking and then check if this device is secure and click add account and device.
2. Download Mi unlock tool from here. Extract it and paste it in C:/unlock. or else your device won't be recognized for unlocking.
3. Open Mi unlock tool and then enter the Mi account which was on your device. Put your device in fastboot mode by pressing vol- and power and then connect to PC. Press unlock and if it tells you to wait you have no other option but to wait. If your mi flash tool shows connect your device even after you have connected it. Follow this guide here.
4. After you have unlocked your bootloader reboot your phone.
Flashing TWRP and Rooting via magisk
1. Download this TWRP image here. Thanks to the original developer mauronofrio.
2. Download adb and fastboot tools here and install it.
3. Now put your phone in fastboot mode and connect it with your pc. Now where you have downloaded the TWRP file rename it to TWRP.img and open a CMD window there if you don't know how just google.
4. Type the following commands
1. fastboot devices
2. fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img
3. fastboot reboot recovery.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
5. Your phone will boot into TWRP now. But TWRP will be overwritten by stock miui recovery to stop that you need to flash Magisk. Download this zip move it to internal storage then flash by tapping on install and swipe to flash. Reboot your device. Reboot to recovery again to check if TWRP is present.
Now your device is rooted
OR
Flash latest OrangeFox Recovery if you don't want magisk.
Flashing A rom
1. Download.
2. Flash.
3 Format Data.
Done
Feel free to ask any questions. And don't point a finger at me for messing your device.

Flashing a custom rom is optional. You don't NEED to flash a rom to get TWRP...
---------- Post added at 06:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:46 PM ----------
I've unlocked the bootloader using the unlock tool and waited for 7 days,
But i rooted the device using a different method where i patched a boot.img and flashed that to the device.
Will this method still work for me as I'm already rooted but just want TWRP so i can flash other ROMs.. The post says you have to flash magisk from the (temporary) TWRP for the TWRP to stay as the recovery..
Will the magisk on my phone and the magisk installed here collide?
I just want TWRP so i can switch to a custom rom, so any input is appreciated!!

Skip the flashing a rom part and you will be good to go.

You can flash twrp and then check if it persists. If not flash magisk again their is no thing as magisk colliding lol. Just make sure you flash a newer version. And if nothing works flash stock rom and then twrp.
If you have the stock boot IMG flash it and then intsall twrp and magisk.

Haha, makes sense! Thank you for your answers
Nevermind.. i got it to work pretty easily..
I have twrp on this device and Pixel Experience ROM and it's working all fine..
But there's this one thing where when booting to recovery, it asks me to input a password for User(0) when i try to input anything it says password failed..
From reading the log, it says it's for decrypting data(8f I'm not mistaken)
Is this important? Do i need to decrypt it?
Currently the ROM works fine with no errors, so I'm not gonna bother, but would still like to know what this "decrypting" thing is..

Yes, If you use a lock screen enter that password it will be decrypted. You will have to format data if you decide to flash any other rom anyway.

Hey buddy, thank you for this quick step-by-step guide. I flash ROMs since 2012 and you know what? It helped me the same. Having all stuff needed for go from stock to custom concentrated in one place (plus some useful tip like the Magisk flash at the end) it's always useful and time-saving. Thank you
2 Micro-notes about fastboot btw:
- write 'fastboot (with lowered 'f'): it may confuse some newbie
- it's 'reboot' instead of 'boot'
