REDMI NOTE 4X MTK / Issu with trying to flash TWRP - Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers

Hello everyone,
I have a redmi note 4X with MTK soc
The bootloader is unlocked.
I want to flash TWRP recovery. I use adb, the "nickel " TWRP, and message in the cmd window was "ok"
but when i reboot, whatever the way (buttons or adb reboot), it still reboot on the stock recovery.
I've tryed many times, even with a "moly" TWRP (with my MI 4S, the "aqua" didn't work and I had to flash the "libra" one and it was all effective)
Tryed to re install adb, etc. Wathever, it's always "ok" in adb but still reboot on the stock recovery.
Can't try with flashtool or that kind of (Mitool Flash atc) because I can't find the right "scatter" files....
Does anyone have a clue? what is blocking?
Thanks for help

You must reboot back to recovery, not to system, after installing TWRP.
1. Install TWRP
2. Reboot to Recovery (not to system) - this means you will see TWRP screen again
3. Now you can reboot to System
This is only done for the first time installing TWRP. Next time, TWRP will always be there.

Hello,
Well please I need new help !!
Now I'm fighting a new issu !! Now that I at last managed to flash TWRP, and enter in this custom recovery, my phone don't boot system anymore !! stay stuck on the MI logo (
Do I need to flash the boot.img ? But why the hell would a recovery flashing would have change the boot partition??
And if so, where please could I find the boot.img for MIUI 10.1 stable?

Hello,
For those who have the same issu.
I've flashed a boot.img file found in unzipped miui rom zip.
- download from xiaomi.eu the right rom
- unzip
- find the boot.img file
- flash it with adb / fastboot
Well, So now I have my phone and datas back, and can boot on a custom recovery; but TWRP don't work well. Doesn"t keep the settings, can't install anything (it doesn't find any file when exploring ) and can't wipe cache (as if it can't read partition). That's all I tryed by now, I despair a little and that's a lot of time for an easy thing (was very easy on other phones)
Well, this time I'm flooded, i' ll take somme time but don't give up trying to root that phone

Start again, and I recommend ZCX-TWRP-3.0.2-X-REDMI_NOTE4-MTK_Nikel-16.11.18.img and Magisk instead of SuperSU

Couldn't get root access error on miui 8 china developer beta 6.63

getting the following error 'Couldn't get root access-root rom isn't ready,please wait a moment', when trying to use the allow root access tab in security>permissions>allow root access . Is this normal for everyone? Is there another alternate way to enable root?
Yes, you need twrp recovery and BETA-SuperSU-v2.71-20160331103524.zip
If you don't want to flash the custom recovery permanently you can use:
fastboot boot recovery.img
And the twrp recovery will appear. After installing of the zip file and reboot, the stock recovery will take its place.
http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu-beta
This version is 2.74. I can't find 2.71, but it may do the job
tried it, after flashing the zip ,the phone got struck in the mi icon during boot. had to flash my backup.

With 2.71 there is no problem with this.
Obviously not every version works with every phone.
For example mi 4 is rootable only with 2.65
hmm everytime i try to enter twrp, even if i dont do anything and reboot it will boot struck at mi logo......maybe the dev rom beta just dont work well with twrp.....
Check to see if the bootloader is locked again.

Simple steps:
1. Go in fastboot mode.
2. Flash official twrp.
3. Boot in recovery.
4. Flash supersu zip.
5. Reboot your phone.
And yeah, allow modification to system partition when asked in recovery. The only downside of the official recovery is that it will be replaced by the stock recovery on boot. No prob, you can flash it again. No need to flash custom cooked boot image or something.
To keep recovery forever:
In system partition, there will be a file next to build.prop, named something like recovery-boot-bak or something, delete it and then flash twrp and this time it will stay.

After flashing for ex. Resurrection Remix (or any other custom rom) the device asks whether it should leave an old recovery or not. Flashing official miui zip doesn't touch the recovery at all.
So it's not necessary to delete any files (regarding my experience).

Need Help with removing Stock Recovery

I re-unlocked my device a few days ago after a long time of using MIUI. Unfortunately, I am now facing a peculiar problem I had not faced the previous time I unlocked my device.
I cannot seem to replace MIUI stock recovery with official TWRP.
If I use fastboot flash recovery xxx.img, the terminal does confirm that the action was successful. Yet, when I reboot into recovery, I am greeted by Mi-Recovery 3.0 instead of TWRP.
My initial thought was that maybe there was some restriction in MIUI that prevented the stock recovery from being replaced, so I flashed RR 5.8.5-FINAL. I still cannot flash TWRP.
Some other info:
The MIUI build I was on: MIUI 9 7.9.21 Global Beta
My phone: RN3 SD 2GB/16GB variant, Fpc fingerprint sensor
The temporary workaround I used to flash RR was directly booting into TWRP using fastbooot boot xxx.img
NOTE: I did a standard wipe (factory reset, followed by wiping System, Data and Cache) when I flashed RR.
As you might imagine, using fastboot to boot into TWRP every time I want to flash something is quite tiring and so if anyone can help me to permanently flash TWRP, I'd be really grateful. Thanks in advance.
PS: If this question has already been answered, then please guide me to the relevant thread and I will take down this one.
This problem also happened to my friend's Redmi Note 3 MTK. I don't know if it's going to work on KENZO or not.
The solution is to flash the TWRP recovery image through fastboot ==> Turn off the device by holding down the power button (DISCONNECT PHONE FROM PC) ==> Boot the recovery using button combinations
This should let you boot into TWRP and stays permanent after the first session
Flashing Through Fastboot/EDL Mode
Flashing Twrp through Fastboot is the permanent way of flashing the recovery...The method is very simple and can be done even on locked bootloader but the thing in locked bootloader is that once you have flashed the TWRP the internal storage is inaccessible because the data is encrypted so you need to wipe->format data ...then press "yes" ..by typing yes the internal storage will be formatted completely so make sure you have a backup ...and do copy the ROM file in SD card for flashing ...after wiping process press install then select SD card and flash the ROM and gapps and enjoy the TWRP...
Refer this link for flashing process youtu.be/rCONN1_IPuU(please add https:// before the link)
Hope this solves your problem...
same problem !! did you find any solution !!!

First you need to unlock your bootloader which almost take 3 to 4 days generally but in my case it take about 10 days to get permission from MI after which I am able to unlock my bootloader after that you have to download ADB and fastboot at your PC then you have to use it to change your stock recovery to custom recovery and once you successfully changed your stock recovery to custom recovery the only thing you need to do is to flash a magisk root file which would be in zip format through your custom recovery then after flashing the root file put your phone into recovery mode and then flash lazyflasher zip file as in my case I come to know that MI UI doesn't support custom recovery because of which you need to flash lazy flasher.
Note after flashing the custom recovery do not boot your phone into system mode rather than boot it to the recovery again or you can simply wipe Dalvik and cache and then flash the lazyflasher otherwise it will stuck while booting which happens in my case also I suggest you to wipe Dalvik and cache partitions after flashing any zip through your custom recovery
Note- I am not an expert this is what I had experienced while experimenting with my redmi Note 4 so don't blame me if anything goes wrong you can browse YouTube for many such tutorials. Hope it will help you
You must try few times. I tryied 3 times, success First and second time booting mi-recovery, not twrp so i tryied flash once again. Also miui 10.
Since you didnt provide much information. If you have unlocked Bootloader (ignore this)
If you have to unlock the Bootloader, check this topic:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-4/how-to/bootloader-unlock-variants-to-read-t3565459
It will take a maximum of 3 days if you read and do needful properly, in case it does not works, Redmi sends a message to wait for specific hours wait additional 1 hour in case required and try again.
After all Bootloader thing, follow this simple steps,

Unable to flash the stock fastboot ROM via Mi Flash tool.

For whatever reason I can't budge the tool to flash the latest fastboot ROM on my Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite that I plan to sell since my new phone arrived today. A custom ROM from the last year is currently installed on the device.
I installed the latest Universal ADB drivers, installed the latest Mi Flash tool (2020.3.14.0), put the phone in fastboot mode, connected to PC via USB 2.0 port and tried to flash the latest fastboot stable ROM via the tool with "clean all" option and most of the time what happens when I hit the flash button, the fastboot logo on the phone disappears and in the left top corner a small white text "hit any button to restart" or something like that appears. Only once a progress bar appeared with $fastboot bla bla bla II echo missmatching image and device" and that was it... no progress, again the white text prompting me to hit any button to restart appeared on the screen.
Any ideas what I am doing wrong? cmonBruh
Phone: Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite 64/4 Global (platina with custom ROM installed) Windows 10 Pro 1909, MSI B350M Bazooka with AMD Ryzen 5 2600.
Hello.. I will try to help you.. And tell me if you fixed that..
Can you install a custom recovery? Twrp?
Id you can do that fallow my steps..
First download the fallowing twrp from here :
https://drive.google.com/file/d/14cRc4UG4hzL45cDhdFZ7odr5Kb8LSai0/view
It can support ota update and your phone will boot I used it to flash my mi 8 lite without pc. And works!
Download and flash that twrp using mi flash tool. I hope your bootloader is unlocked if you already have other twrp installed simply flash the twrp zip file. And update your recovery. If you don't have any twrp installed simply rename. Zip file into .img file and flash it with flash tool. If you can't flash it using flash tool try to install any other twrp and then install the zip and update the twrp
After you installed twrp go and download recovery Rom from here :
https://mirom.ezbox.idv.tw/en/phone/platina/
Download the first rom called : V11.0.2.0.QDTMIXM (1.8GB zip file)
( Recovery
miui_MI8LiteGlobal_V11.0.2.0.QDTMIXM_5574e03233_10.0.zip
Filesize
1.8G
MD5
5574e032330450c44c34d7f054de477b
Link
Download (Download to Mi Router)
Press download. Not download to mi router and don't forget.. Download the recovery zip file not the fast boot update!
After you downloaded boot in to twrp which I gave you above, wipe system / data / vendor / cache/dalvik and flash the zip file.
You can flash it with and without to wipe anything. But it is recommended to wipe. Pls go try and install it without to wipe anything, if it works ( for me works!) after flash done boot the phone and see if there is any problem. If u got any bugs or problems perform a clean flash wipe all and then flash!
Id you want root.. Fallow this :
You can root your phone with latest magisc manager using the same twrp. After you flash the boot.img with twrp press restart phone. If it won't restart go again to recovery and format only your data. And your will phone will boot again and you will get root acces. It's the only way to root android 10.
Please let me know if you fixed that problem.. And you flashed successfully the Rom..
DON'T FLASH THE ROM USING ANOTHER TWRP! ONLY THAT RECOVERY I GIVE SUPPORT OTA UPDATE AND CAN BYPASS THE XIAOMI Verification FOR THE STOCK ROM.. IF YOU USE ANY OTHER TWRP YOUR PHONE WILL BE STUCK IN Boot! Orange fox or any other twrp won't work!
I used this method and works like a charm
