Redmi note 4 keeps rebooting with custom roms - Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers

Hi, I've recently repaired my mido with a new screen after a fall. After this I tried some custom roms. Initially I managed to install lineage 18.1. After I switched to dotOS. From this point on, the phone restarts a few seconds after the launcher appears. To fix this I used MiFlah to install latest MIUI, formatted data, wiped everything, tried TWRP and Orangefox, tried other custom roms with no changes. Now only stock MIUI11 works. Other custom roms (included lineage) gets the phone continuously rebooting. Could be an hardware problem? What am I doing wrong? It is the first time in ages I have problems flashing ROMS .-.
Thanks.

The vendor partition could have some code/ file that persists stock ui or system
and make sure your phone was rooted before flashing custom rom
and also via twrp flashing. from what Ive seen flash in twrp before flash custom rom( https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=disable+encryption+treble ) then flash the "verity and encryption disabler ,theres another one to re enable encyption only " then flash custom rom
after flashing custom rom reboot poweroff(switch phone off via twrp)
reboot into twrp and flash whatever else you need
now reboot to system and your phone should work fine

Thanks, it worked!
I did:
Flash last miui with miflash
Flash recovery
Flash you suggested zip
Format data
Flash lineage 17.1 (android10)
WIpe system, data, cache, art cache
Flash any android 11 ROM

Holy **** how did you come up with this.
Either the zip with Magisk somehow fixed it or installing the android 10 rom somehow. Either way doesn't make sense

Didn't work for me,
- did all the steps , exactly - flashed stock fastboot , then flashed Android 10 based rom crDroid + pico gapps. worked fine for 2 hours or so .
but interesting enough , phone freezes then shutdown without restarting , then i would go and trun it back on , but fingerprint not working now

i think somewhere in the process the persist partition gets damaged .

so if you have magisk you can use a zip file to chmod 744 or 644 (it may be "chmod root 744" )the /persist partiton and thatll mean only true root has access
so 7 is read write execute 6 is read and write 4 is read only 5 is read execute i forgot which number was execute only 1 maybe?
so play with the permissions or look in the root folder for boot.p or permissions.sh then you can modify in there the permissions, it can cause bootloop , so always keep an original copy or youll hae to reflash(DISCLAIMER)
so you can pull the file using adb+root / or a root explorer
Copy it to phone then edit then copy to SDCARD
reboot to twrp then use shell/terminal "chmod 777" the partition where the file is / or read write everything
then copy the file and overwrite the original

Unable to install resurrection remix5.8.4

Hi,
I recently unlocked my bootloader after a really long time. I then proceeded to flash twrp and then flashed superSU and rooted my phone. I took a backup of my rom and then proceeded to install RR 5.8.4. I was given a error 7. Tried this method (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2522762) but then it gave me a error 6. Would someone help me out ?
Thx.
1) flash latest global developer MIUI ROM via MiFlash to updated firmware and to reset things if they messed up (watch out if you lock your bootloader while flashing, choosing the wrong .bat file);
2) after flash TWRP via fastboot;
3) boot TWRP and "advanced wipe" ALL partitions (except MicroSD if you have a MicroSD inserted and you want to keep its data);
4) reboot to recovery and install the RR .zip file (and the gapps .zip file if you use it);
5) after you boot into RR, you can then reboot to TWRP and install Magisk .zip to get root and other nice things.
Can i factory reset my device instead of flashing developer rom as the developer rom is quite big, around 1.4gb?

If you've TWRP installed at the moment then try this :
Boot to TWRP
Take a nandroid backup (just incase)
Wipe > advanced wipe > swipe to confirm
Flash firmware if you're coming from marshmallow based MIUI
Flash ROM & Gapps
Reboot
If you still get errors, probably corrupted zip. Try Re-downloading the zip.

You can try. Remember that if you download the full MIUI ROM, you should follow this guide http://en.miui.com/a-234.html
You can also upgrade the firmware without downloading the full ROM, from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/re.../firmware-firmware-update-2017-08-04-t3651537
Will try soon and reply
Even after flashing the firmware, i get the same error 7
I have downloaded this rom (https://www.google.co.in/amp/s/foru...nt/rom-resurrectionremix-5-8-2-t3567023/amp/) and flashed twrp using this guide (http://en.miui.com/thread-536180-1-1.html)
Maybe this is a stupid question, but your phone has MediaTek chipset or Qualcomm chipset?
I'm pretty sure it is qualcomm as the cpu speed is 2.0ghz
Now, i get this error and status error 7.
What should i do?
Where you can format all partitions, you can fix them too.
It looks like your /data is using f2fs, you should fix it converting the partition in ext4 (in official TWRP it's not possible to use f2fs).
Check all partitions, not only /data, to be formatted as ext4
So, what r the steps i should follow?
And btw, is there any unofficial twrp which i could use?
Enter TWRP, choose Wipe > Advanced Wipe
Check the box for "data"
Tap "change or repair file system"
Tap "Change file system"
Tap "ext4"
Swipe the button
Repeat for other partitions
I don't know if there are unofficial TWRP that support f2fs. Probably they exists, but you should also check if the default RR kernel supports f2fs, else you have to flash a custom kernel that supports f2fs.
Just one important question. During this process, if something weird happens ( like i get my phone soft bricked) and i got a nandroid backup. Will i be able to flash it successfully using twrp?
Yes, changing file system is a pretty safe operation (except for the erasing of the data inside the partition, as a normal format).
Flashing the backup or a full fastboot image will reset things back.
But it already shows it as ext4
Oh mahn, it still doesn't resolved?
Flash official TWRP via fastboot mode, skip this step if your already on official TWRP
Boot to TWRP
Wipe
Flash cm14.1 mido firmware
Flash Rom
Flash Gapps
??
Reboot
Note that, you should try Re-downloading all the things, like Rom / Gapps
Dude, i am unable to flash the rom due to cant install this package error and status error 7 !

Yeah man, that's what I'm saying, you should try installing cm14.1 firmware first, then Rom..

Trying to install ResurrectionRemix, causes bootloop

So here is my situation: I have a 3GB kenzo model with 6.3.24 EU ROM and ZCX TWRP 3.0.0-0. Of course bootloader in unlocked. Since the TWRP is pretty old, I updated it to RedWolf V3.1.
What I did:
Wipe: Dalvik/System/Data/Cache
Install Beta 7.9.22 or Stable 8.5.6.0 Kenzo firmware (tried with both)
Install RR image: RR-N-v5.8.5-20170924-kenzo-Final.zip
Install open gapps ARM64 7.1 (or not)
Wipe caches (also tried without wiping it)
Reboot
Bootloop
I know the first boot can take some time, so I let it run for 30+ minutes, still, only bootloop happened. Tried it a couple times, changing firmware, wiping caches at the end, ditching gapps etc. Images checked for md5 checksum on the phone, they are not corrupted. I was able to restore the EU ROM, but I really want to try out ResurrectionRemix. What could possibly the problem be?
Same here...i flash all nougat rom and got bootloop..now i stay in mm only...:C

So you mean to flash the latest stock ROM, won't it remove TWRP and lock the bootloader? And how to "hack" the emmc bootloader? Sorry, I'm a newbie
Just wait for at least 15 minutes after flashing

What do you mean, wait in TWRP for 15 minutes or when booting up the OS? As I said, I waited for 30+ minutes while it booted up.
Try installing ROM without flashing the firmware

That was the first thing I did (I didn't know a firmware was needed so I only flashed the RR ROM). Same bootloop
You could try to format data partition. Then wipe system,data,cache,dalvik cache and internal partition. After that Copy actually firmware, rom and opengapps arm64 pico in internal memory (Download all files again. Maybe archiv was damaged). Then flash firmware, rom, gapps and do wipe Cache/dalvik and reboot. Then report.

Did it, same result. Wiped everything, copied zips to internal storage, flashed from there and boom, bootloop
Hmm strange. You could test a good modified rom of rr.
Try this Rom:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673791459329049490
And these Gapps:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673791459329049438
If it all not Work, you have to flash actually official Rom to restore all with edl.
I have the exact same problem. Cant flash any ROM without getting bootloop. The bootloop though isnt a standard one, i think. I get the logo of the ROM and the phone starts to give Tiny vibrations in regular periods of time. I also left the phone for a long time hoping it'll eventualy boot. No luck. Tried flashing stock ROM with miflashtool and edl. Didnt help as well. I wonder if it could be the fault of any previous roms i had installed.
Twrp:
-are you sure you are not in read mode? Change to writemode.
-All relevant partitions mounted?

unable to flash any Nougat roms- stuck in boot animation.
is it because the bootloader was unlocked unofficially via lollipop fastboot ROM 7.1.8??
All right, got it working.
I flashed the latest official MIUI ROM with the official flashing tool with the option "clear all". Then I had to open the bootloader again, then flash TWRP, then flash RR, and it works! Looks like something was wrong with the previous installation, the clearing everything did the job.
Were your bootloader unlocked officially?

Backup all of your data from internal storage and flash latest fastboot developer ROM and setup it. This will fix all issues regarding ROMs, zips, bootloops and firmware and any other. After that flash latest ZCX recovery as RedWolf recovery causes problems for flashing ROMs and zips as per my experiance. Then simply flash RR and gapps and boot and wait for 15 minutes and till then don't restart device.

bootloop issue

hi i tryed to convert my redmi note 4x to global when flashing with mi flash tool i did it without clean and after that firmware finish installing but got stuck in bootloop now i flashed twrp and tryed to flash custom rom but again bootloop when i check my storage it shows 9gb now when its actual is 32gb i think i disturbed partitions any solution available?
Are you able to boot into TWRP?? If not flash TWRP first using fastboot.
Once you have access to TWRP boot into it and perform a full wipe (System + Data + Cache + Dalvik + Internal Storage). Perform a format too after wipe to be on the safer side. Now copy a custom ROM or MIUI ROM to your Internal Storage or SD card through a computer. Once copied install your ROM.
If you flashed custom ROM flash Gapps after flashing ROM. Reboot.
If you flashed MIUI, flash lazyflasher after that(or phone will be stuck at MI logo). Reboot.
You can find download links for lazyflasher here on XDA or you can google it too.

@ArK96 is right but the only thing i suggest is to, flash miui and lazyflasher first so as to properly set up the initial firmware, and partitioning. After miui boots properly, you can do anything you want. :highfive:

Go here and download the Global Stable worldwide release version firmware.
Boot into twrp wipe and format everything. Also after that reflash TWRP again using fastboot.
Once reflashed boot into TWRP and again perform a full wipe and format, then install the downloaded firmware zip. After that reboot TWRP and try flashing MIUI.

Yes. Red wolf is more MIUI friendly, it is made with OTA survival in mind. But your issue is that the ROM is not getting flashed. You can try what I said above about TWRP reflash, if it doesn't work you can go ahead and try redwolf. REDWOLF is nothing but modded TWRP, base code is still TWRP.

S6 edge (g925f) can't flash custom roms

Hi guys so I managed to get root and install twrp but I can't install a custom Rom,
I get no errors or anything during install I've tried lineageos 16 but every time insall and reboot I just get the boot screen for about 15 mins then it reboots to twrp.
The first time I tried it worked but I forgot to install open gapps so I tried again with gapps now every time I've tried flashing I get the same problem long boot screen then reboot to twrp.
I've even tried just flashing the Rom again but that doesn't work now also tried other roms that should work but no luck. I have my stock Rom backed up so I'm not stuck anywhere just want to get custom roms work I know it's probably something simple I'm doing wrong.
Reflash stock android 7 firmware.. Then install twrp again.. Make sure before flashing any rom, you have wiped system, data and cache.. Use gapps from http://opengapps.org

Not able to get lineage os working

Hello, I now have 8 days note 10 lite today I unlocked bootloader, installed TWRP via adb after that I installed lineage os and wiping data etc. After that I faced a bootloop and lineageos bootscreen doesnt go away after 15 minutes.
So I tried to reflash the rom again, but twrp isnt able to reinstall the rom. I then used miflash to get original rom again.
Started all over installed twrp, flashed lineage os after this install after reboot I get everytime back into TWRP and looked on my pc and all files suddenly are encrypted on my phone and cant get lineage os rom again on my phone..
So I used miflash again and decided to ask here first. Does anybody know if I maybe use a wrong TWRP or missed a step?
I really dont understand it, I tried it for a 3th time. Here is exactly what I did.
- installed TWRP through ADB (TWRP-3.4.0-0_Android11_Roms_AndroidHQ254)
- In TWRP put rom on my internal storage
- Wipe Dalvik, data and cache
- Install rom (TWRP-3.4.0-0_Android11_Roms_AndroidHQ254)
- data wipe (where I had to type yes to confirm)
- Reboot to system and then it doesnt do anything and goes back into TWRP where I cant do anything, and I have to flash original rom back through MiFlash.
I run now MIUI 12.0.2
Android 10
Try using orangefox recovery. And i think you have to wipe data before installing rom, not after it.
