Hello,
I have been trying to install TWRP recovery in my bootloader unlocked xiaomi redmi note 4x phone with china stable ROM non-root device. I have tried multiple methods that I found in this web and somewhere else but unfortunately all failed and unable to install any kinds of recovery. I am also trying to root my device but failed every method I found. One main problem is I don't read chinese at all and my ROM is chinese version. I have been trying to install at least Global ROM so that I would understand english version and probably able to root my phone and ultimately use google play store. None worked so far for me.
I would really appreciate if you can help me resolve any one of my issues stated above.
Thank you very much

Fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img
Next, do not disconnect the device, just use fastboot command and boot into TWRP

The language of chinese rom can be set as english.
Then you can flash chinese dev rom and use a built-in ROOT.
However, without twrp you can not flash gapps because the system part is encrypted, so you must unlock the bootloader and then flash twrp.
unlocker:http://en.miui.com/unlock/ (maybe you need a chinese mi account, I can provide one with you)

Hello glewo45,
It really works. Thank you very much. I had been experiencing "remote: size too large" problem with a lot of methods that I found on xda forum and other reputable forums but was unsuccessful with any method. When I tried cofface method from the link that you mentioned, it was successful on the first attempt. My device is xiaomi redmi note 4x china stable rom. Now I can't wait to flash other custom ROMs . Thanks again glewo45 and cofface

Hey guys I am using redmi 4x I have installed Oreo pixel experience rom in it.... Can any one help me how to root this device in Android Oreo 8.0.
Good morning,
I would really appreciate some hints to solve my Problem with Honor 5X and Lineageos 14.1.
What have I done so far:
Bought a Honor 5X -> success
Unlocked bootloader officially -> success
Installed TWRP newest Version -> success
Downloaded lineageps 14.1 newest for kiwi -> success
moved lineageos zip to phone -> success
boot into recovery -> success
wipe Cache / etc -> success
install zip for lineageos 14.1 -> error 7
From reading a little bit here, I got the idea, that the bootloader is too old for lineageos 14.1. I am not an Honor Expert, but the phone Show something lime emui 3.something.
What do I have now:
Phone with:
running twrp
running fastboot
What I do not have:
adb backup of phone
twrp backup of phone
I would like to have the phone back up and running, even stock Image would be fine. Lineageos prefered.
Kind regards

I guess you are still on emui3, so lollipop version Android 5.
First: update to a marshmallow Android 6 version, BUT NOT the most recent. Check with update what is the version proposed and give number here.
But you need stock recovery for that...
You should:
Unlock bootloader
Update software/Fw to Android 6 , emui 4, bxxx version <= b340.
Boot in twrp recovery : make nandroid backup1
Flash twrp recovery, flash root, check all OK and make backup2
Then with both backups, you re safe to play with custom roms.
Some more questions....

Dear Rodolphe,
thanks a lot for your help.
Could you please give me some more hints?
My bootloader is already unlocked and TWRP is up and running. So far, that is done.
The phone runs now TWRP and fastboot only, nothing else.
How do I do this task: Update software/Fw to Android 6 , emui 4, bxxx version <= b340
I guess download this b340 fw/sw as a zip and install via TWRP?
Kind regards

Hi, you must return to stock recovery. Find the thread honor5x depot and get it based on model.
Then i think once stock recovery reinstalled, you can update in emui via settings>about phone.
What is **** is, if you update too much, you wont be able to flash ROM because of volte Fw. Thats why you need to check bxxx version of update to be sure to be less than b350.
Otherwise, you need to update manually with for example application firmware finder (playstore). Dont hesitate to search in threads your case. Some people may have face same request/issue
Yahooooooooo!

Download Marshmallow firmware manually (Google or use Firmware updater app/site) and install it via dload or via EMUI updater (5.1.1 has an "Upgrade manually" option). That's a KIW-L21? You won't get VoLTE anyway, install whatever you find for it (latest I know about is B350 CUSTC432D003, available on Polish Honor site). After that, flash TWRP and flash whatever you want.
Yahoooooo and thanks a lot again!
I have found the danish update.app for android 6, put it on MicroSD and installed it with the update app.
Now the phone
runs on Android 6.0.1
is Kiwi L21
is EMUI 4.0
is Baseband 20234,20234.
Will installing lineageos14.1 on top of this work or would I get Error 7 again?
I am a bit careful after the first try with lineageos14.1 and EMUI 3.1.
Kind regards

What is your bxxx version ?
Pictures posted above are in too low resolution to be red....
But now you should boot in twrp to make a nandroid backup of all stock with adb (find in threads).
Then you flash twrp and backup again with twrp and emui.
So in case of issues you re covered. Then try flashing los

B340 will be ok? The update app offers an OTA with B340.
Now I have a proper TWRP and Adebar backup (adb Linux script framework).
I will give Lineageos 14.1 a try in the next days.
Thanks a lot for the good hints.

Any non-VoLTE Marshmallow firmware will be OK. My KIW-L21 was on B350D003 before flashing, everything is great.

Hi everybody,
it is done! The Honor 5X now runs on Lineageos.
Thanks a lot for the help and the good hints.
The reason for the problem with EMUI 3.1 and Error 7 was not obvious to me. I have read some installation guides and many of them ignore that you cannot install lineageos 14.1 up on EMUI 3.1. Good luck I found this forum.

Great! Welcome onboard on custom ROM.
I would suggest you RR,aex or crdroid if you want extra features. Of course backup your los first
Install KIW L21 B320 stock
Flash twrp
Nandroid backup
Wipe cache, dalvick cache, system, data
Flash lineage
Reboot then flash gapps and SuperSU or magisk
You will have no problems with this method

There is no such a thread "how to root with magisk" in all XDA links.
But, "IF" you are talking about the thread "How to Root Mi A3 with MAGISK without TWRP", I will say again, because you dont understand at the first time...
...I already searched everywhere, and nothing worked
(including "How to Root Mi A3 with MAGISK without TWRP", the link to this boot.img on github is broken).
But what I just dont understand is WHY are you insisty giving me answer that I didn't ask in the first place? What I ask was:
what is the correct name of stock boot and where can I find it?
If you cant help, just liave it.
Hi Everybody.
I finally found out all this things about the stock boot.
The correct name is "boot.img".
You can EXTRACT this "boot.img" from its respective "OTA" file.
To do so, follow this steps:
1 - Find out what is the "Android Number Version" in your cellphone here:
Settings->about the device->Android Version-> Number Version.
For exemple, my "Android Number Version" is V12.0.5.0.RFQEUXM
12.0.5.0 - Firmware version
R- Android version (R-> Android 11R or Android 11 / P-> Android pie or Android 9).
FQ - Smartphone model code (FQ = Xiaomi Mi A3).
EU- Firmware build type (MI for Global | EU for Europe)
XM - Firmware version code
2 - Download "OTA" file from here:
https://www.thecustomdroid.com/xiaomi-mi-a3-android-10-update-guide/
On the website, scrool down until you get on the name of your "Android Number Version" (or just use CTRL+F) and download the "OTA" file (it is a .zip file). You just need to download the "OTA" file. The "FASTBOOT ROM" file (the .tgz file) is not necessary.
With the "OTA" file in your hands, use this tutorial to EXTRACT "boot.img":
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/tutorial-android-ota-payload-dumper-on-android.4061799/
And that is it
You already have your "boot.img".
After that, if you want to root your mi A3, use the thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-root-mi-a3-with-magisk-without-twrp.3958509/
finally you have find the guide! great work man, i'm happy that i can gave you my little help
Hi where i can find stock boot image latest november V12.0.14.0.RFQEUXM ?
Hello,
I did flash my phone in fastboot mode to the official Android One ROM and after finishing, the screen doesn't turn on.
What can I do?
Thanks
You need to provide more information.
You need to at least state which android version you are flashing and which android version/ROM you are coming from.
To me it sounds like you have flashed android 10 on an android 11 ROM. This results in a hard brick due to anti rollback.
Please state the firmware version you tried to flash, the ROM/firmware you are currently using and the process in which you flashed it.
I was flashing from a custom ROM of MIUI 12 by xiaomi.eu to the lastest available of Android 10 in order to get back to Android One.
Thanks
Did you have Android 11 before installing MIUI (did you do the conversion to cc9e)?

There's your problem. There is anti rollback in this device so essentially you hard bricked it.
You can't go back to android 10 stock at all once android 11 is flashed.
The only way to recover is flash stock ROM through EDL mode which may require a Xiaomi authorised account or bring it to a service centre for repair
Then my phone is done... There is no use trying to fix it.
Thanks anyway!
Hello.
I'm bringing this up again as I have now more free time in Christmas. I've been charging the phone fot a whole day but nothing appears. I don't know if I need to send it to a repair store or something.
