[HELP] Kenzo stuck on Boot on latest Nougat ROMS.

I have observed that my RN3 kenzo is not able to boot on any Nougat ROM built after 2nd april.
I have tried the following ROMS :
1. XenonHD (2nd and 7th april builds - Working fine)
2. Xenon HD 5th May - STUCK ON BOOT
3. Nitrogen OS - STUCK ON BOOT (I dont remember the build date but I downloaded it in april )
4. Resurrection Remix 3rd May - STUCK ON BOOT
5. Cosmic OS - 6th May - STUCK ON BOOT
All the installations were clean flashes. Installed CM14.1_Firmware_kenzo_12.04.2017, still no luck.
What is the reason behind this ? How Can I solve it ?

my bootloader is unlocked.
I installed an older build of XenonHD and it is working fine. All the newer builds are getting stuck.
Edit : Unofficially unlocked.
Flash latest firmware from Official LOS thread and flash your rom. Here is the direct link https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634767927
And Read this.
Some nougat roms won`t boot if you don`t format data after you`ve flashed the rom. So try this: if you are coming from miui, you don`t need to flash any firmware, then wipe system+data+dalvik cache+cache, install rom+gapps and last thing, Format Data (you`ll find it under advanced wipe) and reboot to system. Save your files to sdcard or computer before do that, because this will erase all internal storage, but twrp will remain.

This.
Some of the Newer ROMs need MM bootloader. If you've unofficially unlocked then that means you're on LP bootloader.
Try Flashing the latest MIUI dev ROM and unlocking officially.
Yeah that's exactly what @bloodytolits said flash the latest developer rom i think the Chinese roms get unlocked easily so you can go with it until you unlocked officially then you don't need to flash any firmware again your already on the latest then flash the rom and your ready to go good look

Hey @bloodytolits ,I'm facing the same problem. Can I flash latest global stable ROM and unlock my bootloader on it OR do I need to flash global dev ROM?

Most of the latest ROMs only works on firmwares 7.5.4 - 7.6.7. I don't know if they already changed that. So you can install(and unlock) MIUI dev 7.5.4 - 7.6.7 or the latest and just flash the 7.5.4 - 7.6.7 firmware afterwards before trying to flash any custom rom.
Most people says it should be dev ROM, as I haven't officially unlocked mine I don't know. I'm using Kate and following this guide, you won't really need to officially unlock. I can't guarantee if this would work on kenzo though.

Okay. Now I'm planning to flash MIUI fastboot from RR 5.8.3. and lock my bootloader. Will it cause any bootloop problem?

Did u apply for permission from xiaomi to unlock this phone and unlocked it using Miunlock tool and pressed unlock button to unlock?
Or
Did u used fastboot oem unlock-go command to unlock ?

Unable to switch on my device (kenzo)

Hello,
I was using Nx Experience Rom along with Nx Radios. I decided to upgrade my device to 7.1.2. So, I flashed Cm firmware mentioned in the CM 14.1 thread along with Nitrogen OS rom, zip that removes the default Super su in NOS and at last SuperSu (by Chainfire) zip.
Now, i am unable to boot up my device. I press Power button. It vibrates and then it turns off,, only Mi logo is displayed that too for 2 -3 seconds. Can anyone help me ?
P.S I can only boot into fastboot mode now.
# I unlocked my bootloader officially.

you can't do it, without update firmware your phone just bootloop not booting into system
For the love of all that is sweet, just do the following:
1. flash unlock_bootloader.zip from the LineageOS thread.
2. Flash Psy_Man's latest firmware ( Kenzo or Kate, whetever you need ).
3. Flash latest LineageOS nightly.
4. Clear Dalvik & Cache.

If you had your bootloader officially unlocked then do it the normal way, why even go to shady paths and get compatibility issues in future.
The thing is all those firmwares which claims that bootloader won't be unlocked just removes bootloader from firmware, so it doesn't get upgraded but if you're on lollipop bootloader you have to do it the official way otherwise you will bootloop.

Flash the firmware given by thestrix, and if your bootloader dosen't get locked you're on mm bootloader and fine to flash 7.1.2 roms. But if bootloader gets locked(which means you were on lollipop bootloader) then you have to flash latest miui dev rom through edl and unlock it again through miui unlock( it won't give you 50% error again).

I am on an old LOS build right now. So all I have to do is flash this https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634767927 in TWRP and I will be on latest firmware. And then I should be able to flash the new LOS builds without any error 7. Is that correct?

Yep, if bootloader doesn't get locked you're good to go. Otherwise you have to do all the process I have explained above.
My RN3 (Kenzo) is running miui 7,unlocked bootloader and twrp installed. But whenever I install any rom it bootloops. First I tried to flash XENONHD it gets stuck in the xenonhd bootanimation and after that I flashed Pixel rom in this rom it never gets beyond the google boot logo. What's wrong with my device? Please guide me to fix this.
is there a way to know what version of bootloader we have ? (LL or MM)
Not directly, but if you remember where you have got it, you can guess.

It means you're on LP bootloader. If you have officially unlocked, to upgrade to MM bootloader, flash the latest MIUI or the firmware provided by TheStrix on LOS official thread(this will relock your bootloader), go to fastboot, plug device and unlock via Mi Unlock. If you did it unofficially then read a few post back, someone posted a fix.

Nope.... well you can flash TheStrix's firmware, if your phone boots up then you're on MM, if it didn't(Mi logo flashes for a second before turning off again) then LP . Or try a safer way but you needed to download a full ROM. Download the latest LOS(or any latest LOS based ROM), flash it, if you get bootloop then you're on LP bootloader.

Thx for your help.
I've flashed 2 firmwares on my kate(whithout emmc-appsboot.mbn file in it):
7.5.25 (beta) and 8.2.4.0 (stable).
I've got no problem when flashig both, but when I flash Resurection remix (last build which is based on LOS) I stuck on bootanimation. But i don't think it's a bootloop because my phone dont restart(Black screen + MI logo + bootanimation). it just stay on bootanimation and never boot (ask for pin)
Wait but why do you need to unlock officially​?? I unlocked unofficially and flashed lineage (i mean cm14.1) and it worked like a charm. Though you need the firmware.

How to do that without getting any fastboot option or any screen.
The device is not recognized by my pc
You must put your device in EDL mode check this guide for doing it without fastboot xiaomitips.com/guide/how-to-put-redmi-note-3-into-edl-mode/
Thank you guys, I have successfully flashed fastboot ROM
Now is there any special requirement to flash other roms like China developer from global stable or custom roms from global stable.
Which Rom do you suggest for normal usage/no gaming/browsing
You can install China rom but you might need to flash twrp again after full wipe, at least that's what happens to me every time I want to flash China dev rom.
I would suggest Nitrogen Os for everyday use (for first install you might need to format data in twrp to flash nitrogen) , Viper Os has slightly better camera quality than nitrogen and a little less battery backup but an amazing rom overall. Lineage Os is very stable with good features but you need to flash firmware first, there is a guide in rom thread for that. Resurrection Remix is the most customizable of all but use with agni or infected kernel for better battery backup.
For me top roms are
-> Nitrogen Os
-> Lineage Os
-> Viper Os
->Aosp Extended
->Pure Nexus with infected kernel
->Cosmic Os

The first custom ROM i installed was AICP N from stock 6.0.1 . Then I kept switching between nougat ROMs, and even some alpha oreo ROMs. When stock 7.1.1 came out I installed it, kept for a while and then kept switching between custom ROMs again. Currently in LOS14.1 .

You need to use lineage recovery for ota support. Lineage is now more focused on lineage recovery than twrp. Older/newer twrp might or might not work.. Because lineage17 officially support lineage recovery.

Hi guys. I currently have built 3.1.1-r1.
I am having troubles installing LineageOS 17.1 weeklies.
Then I said, I need to update TWRP.
But, I already did data wipe on my phone.
Is it still possible to flash new TWRP? I find I only need to boot into fastboot, then fastboot flash recovery twrp.img and then back to recovery. Is that right?

unfortunately not, the OTA update no longer destroys the LOS but the update script does not run. the phone boot into the twrp, that's it
for aööe who want to have OTA updates should switch to the lineage recovery. for all others who need a manual update, you can continue to use twrp
