Get a custom recovery to wipe all partitions out. There might be an easy way out but you'd want to prefer a clean flash after this. And did you use EDL before unlocking?

hmm without unlocked bootloader I can't flash a custom recovery and there is no option to flash a custom recovery using another method(so I used EDL method),
and no I didn't use EDL before unlocking,
I used EDL because I there was no way to flash ROM on my phone!
THANKS, BRO!

That is quite a bad state that you have gotten yourself into. If you can reboot into bootloader, you can wipe every partition and flash a fastboot image of MIUI ROM to get it back to work. Remember to be specific about IMG files as they can make/break your system. You have a soft brick now but selecting a wrong IMG file can result a hard brick.
Any Updates ?

I just bought Redmi Note 3 SD. I am running the latest global stable build based on LP. I wanted to move to Global Beta Builds. I tried to flash the recovery zip using updater app. But it always showed "couldn't verify update package".
So i searched a bit. And think it requires bootloader to be unlocked first. But I have some doubts :
1) After unlocking bootloader can I flash global beta recovery rom zip using updater app ? Or fastboot is the only method even after unlocking bootloader ?
2) If I am stuck at 50% during the unlocking process, will the phone wont boot not anymore ? Or I can boot it just like it was before ?
3) Does data gets wiped during bootloader unlocking ?
Thanx in advance...

1. Any rom that supports flashing through recovery can be flashed through the recovery.
2. If you are stuck at 50% while unlocking your phones boot loader, don't worry. Your phone will boot and work just fine.
3. Nothing will be wiped after unlocking your phones boot loader, everything stays the way it is.
I hope I answered your questions

And you don't need an unlocked bootloader to flash the beta global MM ROM. You can use miflash and flash the phone in edl mode. If you take a backup in MIUI first, you can restore all your apps and data too. If you're even braver, you can replace the stock recovery image in the ROM with ZXCTWRP at the same time so you can flash SuperSU, Xposed, etc. all with a locked bootloader.
Download an older dev build like 6.8.18 which should work through the updater app, then you can go to 6.9.29 after that.

No, you don't need unlocked bootloader to flash latest Global beta. What you need to do is boot to EDL mode and flash Global Beta through MiFlash tool.
TIP Make sure fist that your device is properly recognized by your PC through correct drivers. Usually the MiFlash drivers are sufficient but I had problems with the MTP driver so I had to search the internet for this

I don't think so since your error seem to depend on the updater app, and not the bootloader
TIP If you do decide to unlock bootloader, try to unlock in your current ROM first before flashing Global Beta. In my case, I applied for permission on Day1, Got my permission on Day 3, Failed to unlock until Day 5 where I EDL flashed Global beta and I was able to unlock by then. I think I could have unlocked faster if I EDL flashed Global Beta earlier

It will still boot. You just need to hold the power button long enough (you're in fastboot when unlocking)

No. Data gets wiped when you flash something in fastboot/EDL or when you wipe it in custom recovery
Other Info
ROM that came with the Phone is official MIUI 7.2.3
Global beta I flashed is 6.9.22
After unlocking bootloader, I flashed ZCX TWRP
After Flashing ZCX TWRP, I flashed xiaomi.eu ROM 6.9.29 and got bootloop. To fix this I had to flash LazyFlasher.zip after xiaomi.eu ROM and then did a factory reset via TWRP

Yeah but i didn't wanted to move into this miflash stuff right now. I had bad experience with my last phone mi3 when i flashed it using miflash. So i want to just move to Global beta MM build using stock recovery..

I also got the permission 1 week back. But i read that it takes usually 1 to 2 weeks to get the data updated in their databases. And i don't want to go to EDL and MiFlash stuff yet. I had bad experience with Mi3 when i used MiFlash

Hi guys, I need Your urgent help I am on a Nought based ROM Citrus CAf 7.1.1 on my Xiaomi RedmiNote 3 snapdragon Now I want to go back to MIUI 8 I had a nandroid backup but whenever I get to recover it it gets struck on mi logo. I am able to flash other Roms without a struck . I am thinking to flash full MIUI global stable ROM but I m afraid that I will get a loop again. And if a flash full stable ROM my bootloader will get locked and twrp recovery gone and thus I will not be able to flash anything if my phone gets struck on mi logo then how will I be able to unlock my devices bootloader?
So guys what should I do ??
Should I stop thinking of going back to MIUI 8
Or is there a way
Thanks in advance
You can go back to MIUI Rom by flashing MIUI stock Rom via EDL Mode using MI Flash tool. And if your bootloader gets locked you can unlock it again using unlocker tool (only if you have unlocked bootloader officially). I've flashed many customs rom and revert back to MIUI by same process. Hope this will help you.

But that isn't problem I know I can flash MIUI stock via EDL but what if my Phone gets struck on mi logo
Because I have a nandroid backup and it was working fine before but now whenever I restore it I get struck on mi logo therefore I'm worried if it will get struck again

first of all you will have to tell that can you access fastboot. if yes then you can flash miui rom through mi flash application..

If you have Unlocked BOOTLOADER then just flash twrp . Wipe all partition ,format data . And flash any rom for your device .
Yea i have unlocked bootloader, anyway i try flash through EDL too (just in case), and mi flash application.
I try too flash throught TWRP some roms (Miui versions, Lineage OS, Resurreccion ) doing all kind of wipe and flashing dm-verify too
In all cases, i stuck on boot animation depending the OS.
Im running out of ideas, i will try to flash throught ADB sideload now
This is strange, maybe i have a differente phone than redmi note 4x or maybe phone really f**k off
There is some way to see the Specs of my phone from the PC? to see if its really a redmi note 4 snapdragon (again, just in case)

Wait, you still have TWRP installed right? If so, try flashing firmware zip then flash any ROM +Gapps, Reboot. Inb4 wipe.

Boot stuck again :crying:
i did as you say but it keep stuck
That firmware is for miui 9 right? maybe i should flash miui 9
Bro.. flash all the partition one by one from CMD through fastboot. You must flash The Official rom pack
I solved the problem, just remove all partitions from /Dev/block/mmcblk0 (couse was corrupted)(with adb Shell) and flash a old miui version in EDL Mode
Did you try lazy flasher
Hallo,
I wiped the phone via recovery, now it doesnt boot anymore. I get this device is locked. I dont know the cell phone #´s in there.

First try to use Mi Flash Tool to flash stock rom. If you fail, you probably have to go to fastboot mode and use Mi Unlock Tool to unlock bootloader. Then you can try to use Mi Flash again or install TWRP and flash stock recovery ROM or any other you wish

my redmi note 4 mido is bricked and i don't know how, i left my phone for a month because i travelled away and when i came back the phone was stuck on mi logo i tried to fix it by this methods but nothing worked:
-i tried to flash stock firmware via mi flash tool and it failed so many times (i used an old version which stated that the installation succeed but the phone was still stuck in bootloop)
- i tried edl version and it didn't work
- i tried to install via adb and it didn't work also
- i tried to open recovery (volume + and power) it got me to twrp 3.2.3.0 but it's alway stuck on twrp logo and nothing happens
it only happened 2 times when twrp worked and asked me for decryption password, i wrote my phone pin but said wrong password (tried also password and default_password) then i bypassed the password section and got into twrp but i couldn't mount or format storage (it appears that internal storage and sd card is 0 gb) i tried to format it fails,
tried also to change storage to ext2 it got stuck and i couldn't open the twrp again.
any stock firmware flashed on my mido doesn't work and it still stuck on mi logo ( no android loading logo), and it still has twrp
(i tried to flash another twrp or orangefox it just doesn't flash even if it's successful flash on adb)
i tried also to boot the recovery image it also get stuck on the logo and doesn't open the recovery
please help me to know what the hell is wrong with this phone and how i can fix it
help pleassseeeeeeee
Install magisk if you are stuck in boot loop it fixes the problem otherwise download a recovery rom and change your twrp version to 3.1.0.0 because the decryption password in the new versions of twrp doesn't seem to work on rn4. Now wipe system,vendor,data. import recovery rom from your computer and install it. It will install the rom then flash Magisk otherwise your phone will be stuck in bootloop. Wait for a while and bam your system is back!
i can't install anything or even boot into twrp 3.1.0.0 even if i tried
Can you boot into fastboot atleast? If yes then type fastboot reboot recovery and as you said you have twrp installed then it surely means that your bootloader is unlocked. Do you know the name of your custom rom or are you using stock rom? If yes whichever rom you are using just download the recovery rom of that and extract the boot.img in your adb and fastboot folder and flash it via fastboot by typing fastboot flash boot boot.img . And also when booting in twrp which buttons are you using? This happened to me when I myself bricked my device. I thought I can't boot in twrp but the point was I was using volume up+ power but the actual key to boot to twrp is volume up+volume down+power key

Yes, Flashing Stock ROM should be the last step before he tries to fix. But mostly if the smartphone is bootlooped or bricked there is no other step besides Erase All Data / Format Data or Flashing Stock ROM.

You can flash orignal boot.img which most times fixes the problem and if it didnt work flash system.img it almost always works and the last option is flashing magisk. Then only i will recommend to flash stock rom.

the rom i was using before the phone got bricked is crdroid 10, i downloaded it again as you said and tried to flash boot img then i rebooted into recovery but i got stuck at twrp logo as usual and even if twrp worked it will as for a password i tried all pins i have used on my phone and tried default_password didn't work either, i can't even mount data or storage or anything and it shows everything with 0mb storage (external or internal storage).
i can't even format data to remove encryption it just freezes whenever i do that

i tried that before it's always shows me ( mi flash tool could not find a part of the path) error, there's a one time i tried an older version of mi flash tool and the flash succeeded but when phone rebooted it stayed at the bootloop
i checked the recovery and sadly it was still the same twrp recovery
i don't really know if my phone can be fixed or this an emmc problem
So it means you have your stock rom right? Extract boot.img and flash it with
fastboot flash boot boot.img
make sure to put it in adb folder
You can find boot.img in images folder
If it does not work get the system.img and flash it with
fastboot flash system system.img
i flash the whole stock rom via fastboot (adb) and it also didn't work.
sorry if this seems disappointing
Try orangefox recovery then, not sure why is this happening to you
If still not working type
fastboot oem edl
Then flash via mi flash it should work as far as I know. If not then go to mi service centre it's the last thing you can do
