How to unlock bootloader, flash TWRP and Android Oreo for Redmi note 5? - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers

Hello everyone , As All we know that offical TWRP is released for Redmi note 5 So please send all of us a detailed guide for installing TWRP and Android Oreo or any Customer ROM available now. Thank you

You could use your friend Google.
To unlock just use the official Xiaomi tool for unlocking. If you can't find that than you should take some sort of computer class first.
Currently there's no Oreo ROM for this device, so untill someone ports or builds one you can only flash AOSP Nougat ROMs.

How to root Redmi Note 3 Snapdragon?

Hi, I just unlocked my bootloader. I am on MIUI 7.3.6.0 on Redmi Note 3 Snapdragon. Bootloader was unlocked officially.
I am completely new to Android scene (my first Android), so I have no idea what works how.
Where can I find an updating rooting guide to my phone with latest MIUI? Each step by step.
Also would be much more awesome if someone here who is experienced could guide me through the whole rooting process on Skype chat.
Please, thank you!

Backup you data by miui inbuild. Flashed a miui 7 cn dev rom. Goto security > root permision then you it will offer you to root the phone. Once rooted, used flashify to flash alka twrp: http://en.miui.com/thread-282773-1-1.html?mobile=2. By using alka twrp you can flashed any official rom and flashed superSU.zip once completed you new rom will be rooted by superSU. Else you can referred to flasher toolkit: http://en.miui.com/thread-296053-1-1.html. I personally used official cn dev rom, alka twrp, rooted by superSU and xposed v85(xposed-v85-sdk22-arm64-MIUI-edition-by-SolarWarez-20160609.zip). If you preferred multi languages the used alka twrp to flash latest global dev rom and superSU in on go. Done and enjoying.

looks like your rom are distributor version. It should be easier to flash TWRP via fastboot by press vol down + power button.

When i bought the phone the seller put a global rom on which automatically unlocked the phone.

what i did:
1. request official bootloader unlock (just in case its needed)
2. flash global dev rom with the official miui updater app on the phone (load the file from xiaomi)
3. unlock the bootloader with the official xiaomi unlocker tool
4. flash twrp image via fastboot commands
5. within twrp i flashed the twrp alka via flash -> image -> flash recovery partition
6. reboot into recovery to get to twrp alka
7. backup all the partition (in my case with official MM 6.0.1 MIUI relase i had to wipe all user data in twrp to get rid of phone encryption)
8. flash Supersu.zip in twrp alka
9. reboot, be patient and enjoy
I just received the Redmi Note 3 pro running the same Miui Global stable 8.0.1.0.0 and bootloader already unlocked. How do I know if it has been unlocked via official / non official way?
Do I have to install the official TWRP or not?
Is it possible to lock the bootloader again and the unlock it via official way?
I obviously don't want to brick my device!
Thank you.
8.0.1.0.0 is a vendor rom. Check the linked wiki on how to flash official rom (by EDL mode). If the seller unlocked the bootloader they more than likely did it unofficially.

Redmi Note 3 Pro (starting from stock device with Miui to custom world)

Hi all.
I'm about to buy Redmi Note 3 Pro for my wife.
I'm Samsung user and I know alot about flashing Samsung but with Xiaomi I'm newbie.
I would like to put stock Android on it so CM13 seems the best to me.
Can someone provide me with links with instructions what to do to flash CM13 or maybe some other more stable rom. I need step by step instructions for starting from stock device with Miui, unlocking bootloader, flashing recovery, etc.
Thanks.

It's simple: unlock bootloader, install Alka twrp, backup your EFS, flash cm13, reboot.
But flashing cm13 may not be the best idea with new Kenzo device, as fingerprint scanner may not be working (Radio.zio may solve this problem).
Now all you have to do is read about those steps.

FP is working on CM 13 nightly. Go for it if u want to and dont forget to get latest gapps

Is the FP only issue with CM13 or are there any other issues? Maybe recommendation for some other more stable rom. It is not for me so it must be stable like stock.

go to higher version recovery zip file from rooted miui 8

hi
i have miui 8 lolipop rooted and twrp. now i want go to miui 8 marshmallow with official recovery zip file. what can i do to not locking bootloader again and get rooted ?
if i change boot.img from new downloaded rom with kitchen that will work ? or needs do more other works ?
thanks
Why rush to Marshmallow?
But, if you want to flash it, there is a thread on MIUI forum for Marshmallow Kate ( bootloader unlock, TWRP and root ).
My suggestion would be to wait for a while, and see how the situation with MM works out. No need to rush. It's not that you REALLY NEED Marshmallow in your life.
And whats wrong with MM?
my china dev 6.11.3 is stable and smooth, also inbuilt root
you need cofface or ZCX twrp to flash official ROMs without patch.
also if you have official unlocked BL then you can unlock it as many times you want/need on dev rom.
i suggest china dev, china firmware is better imo and I have tried all 4 variants for kenzo.
you can also flash it through miflash with fastboot ROM, thats how I do it, I got bootloop few times when flashing recovery and I used cofface twrp...
