Hello,
I have been trying to install TWRP recovery in my bootloader unlocked xiaomi redmi note 4x phone with china stable ROM non-root device. I have tried multiple methods that I found in this web and somewhere else but unfortunately all failed and unable to install any kinds of recovery. I am also trying to root my device but failed every method I found. One main problem is I don't read chinese at all and my ROM is chinese version. I have been trying to install at least Global ROM so that I would understand english version and probably able to root my phone and ultimately use google play store. None worked so far for me.
I would really appreciate if you can help me resolve any one of my issues stated above.
Thank you very much

Fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img
Next, do not disconnect the device, just use fastboot command and boot into TWRP

The language of chinese rom can be set as english.
Then you can flash chinese dev rom and use a built-in ROOT.
However, without twrp you can not flash gapps because the system part is encrypted, so you must unlock the bootloader and then flash twrp.

Hi, I need help. My girlfriend bought a Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 32GB / 3GB RAM Mediatek Helio X10 version.
I want to upgrade the firmware because it needs an upgrade. Since she bought it, February, it didn't updated one single time, and it has some bugs that upset her. So, here is the problem.
I already asked for permission from Xiaomi to unlock the bootloader, and already got it. When I tried to unlock, got the 50% problem (Current account is different from the account info on the device). Since then, tried to flash (from the Updater App) the developer ROM, also with no success (couldn't verify package).
The last option, I believe I have, is to manually flash (using MI FLASH software) the developer ROM and after that, unlock the bootloader to finally install the MIUI 8.0 (that's the goal of all this, with the unlocked bootloader).
So, how can I do this? Suggestions, tips, tutorials, guides or experiences, everything is welcome!
You have to go to latest Beta/developer Version and the Unlock should work...
Else just Update miui, because maybe the Bugs are fixed

To unlock the bootloader, you must have the MIUI developer installed on the device

I already solved it by 'hard flashing" the miUI 8... because that's the version she wanted. Didn't try to flash the miUI 6 [developer] because I was lazy, but mainly because I didn't see any gains for her from doing it [unlocking the bootloader].
Thank you 2 for the replies!
Hi Guys,
I've been searching for 2 days now for a clear guide on how to unlock the bootloader for the Mediatek version and haven't found anything other than the official way. Can someone point me in the right direction please?
Thanks.

Hi again,
Another plea for help, I'd really appreciate it. I can't even make a MI account so I'm totally stuck.
Thanks.
... sorry but I'm very confused ...
I'm reading the possible on the network, but the result is I always get confused more despite having a certain familiarity in modding having modded a galaxy nexus, and an LG G2 on which I installed TWRP recovery and various CyanogenMod ROMs.
Unlocking the bootloader in kate/SE, in an official or unofficial way, is still very difficult or almost impossible?
I often read of modified TWRP recovery, which sometimes give problems and sometimes it does not ...is it possible just put the official TWRP for kenzo?
If I can somehow install a TWRP, is possible to easily install the CyanogenMod ROM (after flashing ROM flashing kate modem is needed) and provide CM updates simply by flash new ROM via TWRP recovery?
Thks in adv
Nope! It's easy as 123... Please, check:
http://en.miui.com/thread-345728-1-1.html - for unlocked "emmc_appsboot.mbn".
You can also download ALKA TWRP, rename to "recovery.img", and replace it in fastboot ROM (image folder).
(As well as "emmc_appsboot.mbn emmc_appsboot.mbn", downloaded from the link above.)

I read official unlocking was successful for very very few owners and
such unofficial unlocking gave problems to many others, like bootloop etc...
is that wrong...?

I could not unlock my "kate" officially.
I've tried the method posted above, and works like a charm!
No bootloop, at all...
Thaknk yo so much for yr reply
I remain with the feeling of more complexity and less certainty, than the modding of the galaxy nexus and also the LG G2...
Official unlock works fine.
I have a Kate and unlocked it officially.
Just make sure to flash the global developer ROM, log into your MI account on the phone and press the "bind device to account" button inside the security settings menu before attempting to unlock.
I also got my Kate to unlock officially after using updater on phone to flash global beta rom.then in developer options clicked MI unlock status then linked phone to account. After that unlocked first try after many many failed attempts on global stable.
Nice news and info, thks so much!
But... why so many people can't officially unlock their kate having 50pc error...??
Which version of miui unlock tool and Global Dev. ROM you used when officially unlock yr kate?
I used global beta 6.11.24 and MIflash unlock_1.1.1111.1_en
Thks for reply and info
Hey guys.
I recently bought Redmi Note 3 and I like it quite a lot. I have always preferred stock ROMs but did not dislike MIUI.
The problem is that my phone is still at Android Lollipop. I would like it to be at least at Nougat.
That's when I applied for bootloader unlock code, I got the response the very next day that I was eligible for the unlock.
However, the problem is that for some reason the Mi Unlock tool refuses to recognize me phone. I have tried different different drivers, ports, installed Mi Pc Suite etc. Nothing seems to work.
I got really annoyed by it and started looking for alternative solutions, I realized that there was an unofficial bootloader unlock method, however, that was also fairly risky.
Now what I want to ask is. There are quite a few unofficial bootloader unlock method. Which one should I go with? I'm on MIUI 8.1 Global Stable
Can I install TWRP on an unofficially unlocked device?
Can I flash custom ROMs? And if yes, what ROMs can be flashed without a problem anything on an unofficially unlocked bootloader device?
What are the best ROMs without any major issues? Does Xposed work on 7.1?
I'll greatly appreciate any help.
Hello there,
I also faced this problem after i applied for official bootloader unlock. After searching for a lot of articles i came across this one article where we can install TWRP and Lineage OS without unlocking bootloader.
This article also has a link for a YouTube tutorial. I have tried this on my phone and this method works flawlessly.
Just follow every step from YouTube video or the article itself :-
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/kate-guide-install-lineage-os-locked-t3546154
As for the part of choosing best ROM, i personally prefer Lineage OS because it is much more stable but ofcourse u can try out other ROM like Nitrogen OS, Resurrection Remix or AOSP 8.0
Update latest Official MIUI bate then try unlock

I can just flash the beta OS in fastboot, right?
I just bought a Redmi Note 5 Pro. It shipped with unlocked bootloader and MIUI Global 9.5.19.0, ARB version is 4 (checked with fastboot code)
I managed to install twrp and magisk with dummy.img antirollback bypass
Now i want to move to custom rom like AOSP/LOS
Do i need to do anything else besides clean install the rom?
Pls help because the previous device(redmi 3s) doesnt have anti rollback which is very easy to move rom
P/s: sorry for my broken english

You will find better guidance in your device specific forum so your model is slightly different https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-5-pro.

Hi gentlemen,
i'm posting here because i could read on the web different points of view from Mi users. Some tell they didn't get their data wiped after unlocking their bootloader while others tell they had.
I guess it depends of devices and version of os they wore.
So what is about us with Redmi Note 9S (i've got MIUI global 11.0.8)?
Second question: In case it wipes, is it possible to make a full backup of the device without root and TWRP?
Thank you for your answers
