Going completly back to stock - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers

Hey lads, help me understand something,
How can i go back to stock? I mean, no root, locked bootloader, no custom recovery, stock rom with the possiblity of OTA updates. As if i never touched my phone to begin with. I have no clue honestly.
Thanks lads.

Just download miflash tool. Go into bootloader(powerbutton + volume down keys), and flash the latest MIUI version and make sure to choose the option : CLEAR ALL AND LOCK.

Thanks! But i cant use the mi flash software, it doesnt recognize my phone!! I tried it all. for focks sake im losing my mind here!

Install the snapdragon drivers, and verify is your data cable is working correctly? If still it don't show then reinstall the windows or use another pc.

Put the file in c:/adb
Then using adb
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Now mi flash will recognise your device.

Miui global stable 9.6.2.0 fastboot rom for vince:
http://bigota.d.miui.com/V9.6.2.0.N...FD_20180608.0000.00_7.1_global_caaf0fdef6.tgz

This solution works with Global version right? I'll get a MIUI 10, I'd like to try some AOSP Oreo Build like Pixel Experience, if there's anything I don't like, then I'll want to put back MIUI with locked bootloader/encryption/etc before handing over the handset to a relative.
I read somewhere that re-locking bootloader was not possible with some versions in the MIUI forums. But maybe it was an old post.

you need to replace lp rom firmware using mm rom firmware before flashing. then you can flash it as usual using miflash.

please find below MM firmware, you can easily flash it using twrp
HMNote3Pro.6.9.29.firmware
HMNote3Pro.6.10.13.firmware
probably this firmware will relock your bootloader, simply check it on fastboot after flashing. you can easily unlock using miunlock tool if your bl getting relocked.
look like global stable Miui MM won't come into this device if we see xiaomi track record

weird issue actually due to i never need to wait until days to unlock even i only use my other phone tether with h+ signal.
personally, if I stuck at 50% then i only wait 5 to 10 min to ensure my tether signal become more stable, retrying for 2nd or 3rd attempt and success.
I have never stucked using miunlock...
But then again I always unlocked on china dev...

your xiaomi account must be the same between phone and unlock program in PC
i also recommend using developers rom. china developer maybe the best rom for unlocking bootloader

after flashing TWRP don't reboot to system
just flash another rom (custom rom) or flash dm verity disabler(some thing like that because i don't know the exact name hahaha)
the point is, if you are using custom recovery after unlocking bootloader use custom rom too
but if you just plan to unlock the bootloader without installing custom recovery or rom is ok too

Hi, it happend to my phone too, first you must flash a custom room, if you like miui 8, the only you have to do is modify the file Boot.img this one is located at the images folder of miui flashing files, then you con flash the twrp, it works really good

Hi leo_pard,
How did you flash developer ROM without unlock
Tried flashing 7.2.16 developer ROM on my rn4 , but updater tells can't verify update. Also mi forums tells you can flash developer version only by fastboot method , as it's nougat.
Which developer version did you flash, what was your stable miui ROM version before flash
Thanks

Just flash it through updater app...
But do note that all of your data will be WIPED...
I was on global stable 8.1.11.0 before...
Flash it then login to your mi account which has got the permission then try to unlock...
Hope it helps

Thanks leo_pard for the detailed how to, will be following it for unlock while I get the permission.
Issue I had during developer rom install of 7.2.16 was caused by use of an older version of 7.2.16 rom zip. The miui site had a newer version with label *note4x *.zip , used that version and install worked.

Hi All,
The Redmi Note 3 i purchased has dead pixels all over the display and are visible when viewed on a black wallpaper.
Should i return it and order a new one or get it repaired? Any advice on the issue..
pissed of as the my previous one got stolen.

Please share emmc_appsboot.mbn file of unlocked bootloader

Someone who has unlocked redmi 5 plus bootloader please share the 'emmc_appsboot.mbn' and 'aboot.mbn'
file.we can replace these files from edl mode and unlock the vince bootloader the unofficial way without waiting time.
