hi
I have a Nexus One on Official 2.3.4 update and i'm trying to root the phone, i'm having a hard time with the recovery image, I really like to know what i should do next.
1. read lots tutorials
2. Installed Android SDK and USB Driver for ADB thingy
3. downloaded and put fastboot in platform-tool and successfully unlocked bootloader
4. cannot get recovery to work, intended to install clockworkmod and RA one both give me the ! logo when i intend to boot in it
Questions
1. Should i downgrade first and then do this, if so, how does it work (if someone have a link to step by step tutorial)
2. Other methods
thanks a million
How are you trying to install recovery, and what errors/results are you seeing? Should be:
fastboot flash recovery name-of-recovery.img
How are you booting into recovery (if you reboot the phone, you will lose recovery)? Should be:
fastboot boot name-of-recovery.img
No need to downgrade. An unlocked bootloader is all you'll ever need...

i install recovery that way yes, but i didn't boot that way, thanks i will try right now, will report back
EDIT - that works thanks so much, now i'm gonna attempt to root.
now i encounter another issue
so far i been following this guild http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=636795
and i cannot reboot to recovery after vol down+power menu.
do i just enter recovery with fastboot boot command and go from there?
what would be a better guild from this point on?
Place these two files on your sd card:
su zip: http://db.tt/BJudP0L
fix recovery zip: http://db.tt/ooDaCnU
Boot into recovery from the fastboot command, choose the flash zip from sd option, and flash the two files (one at a time). Done!
awesome, i had them installed. what's su and why is it recovery fix, if u don't mind can u explain these 2 files a little bit?
and what's next, do i just put the rom i'm flashing in the SD Card root and use recovery mode to install the zip?
going to use Cyanogen 7 for nexus one (update-cm-7.0.3-N1-signed.zip)
and also, what is this Google Add-on i read from the tutorial?

su is short for superuser.. its basically using the root user account..
btw 7.1 RC is out if youre interested.. also take a look at the nightly releases
If you're going to install a custom rom like cm7 you do not have bother with the su part.
Put cm rom on the sd ( can be anywhere you just navigate to it) and the google addons (those or the gapps like the market etc.)
Flash custom recovery
Boot directly into the recovery (if you boot the os it overwrites the new recovery with the stock one)
Flash cm7
flash gapps.
reboot into cm7...
Your custom recovery will now stay there until you either flash a different one. Or flash a stock rom.

great, now u said flash cm7 do u mean "install zip file" but pick the cm7 file?
also, google add on, where should i acquire it?
also, for nightly release of cm (cm7.1 rc) for nexus one i should download the one called "passion" is that correcT?
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=nightly
Also forgot to mention to do a wipe before you flash. That is also done in recovery.
gapps http://goo-inside.me/gapps/gapps-gb-20110613-signed.zip That is
In recovery you pick install zip file. You then browse to your cm7 rom.zip or any rom for the matter and install. Do the same for the gapps. Do the same for any other flashable zip like kernals etc.
Yes. Nightly/stable/RC's all have to passion (nexus 1)
Also for future reference post ?s in the Q and A section. A mod will probably move it there or delete this thread.

Great!
i will keep that in mind for sure.
Update: Method Works now i know how to flash and root nexus one, awesome guys thanks a million.
Conclusion and Steps I did (probably helpful to many people like me research tons different tutorials)
1. Download Android SDK and install it,
2. Find "Nexus One USB Driver" download and install it, now install bootloader (follow guide here, but only do up to the boot loader part http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=636795)
3. Find "fastboot" download and extract it to Android SDK installation folder (one called Platform-tools)
4. download a recovery img, i got clockwork 3.0.0.5.
5. download the su (super user) (i dunno if this is necessary but i did it anyway, links are in previous replies) and copy the zip file to ur sd card.
6. download the custom rom u want to use and copy to sd card as well (i use cyanogenmod 7.1 rc here)
7. download the google addon and copy the zip to the sd card as well (link provided in previous replies)
8. go to start and type cmd to load up command prompt in windows (i use windows 7)
9. get to c:\program files (x86)\android\android-sdk\platform-tools\ (i use windows 7 64bit, if it's 32bit system, no need for (x86))
10. hold trackball + power to enter bootloader and fastboot usb enable (should be automatic)
11. type fastboot flash recovery [recovery name.img] (in Windows Command Prompt)
12. type fastboot boot [recovery name.img] (in windows command prompt)
13. do a backup first, then wipe all data and cache, and then navigate to "install zip" and install su, recovery fix, custom rom, google addon, one by one b4 restart
14. after all done, restart, and that's it.
it works for me. but of course, i'm pretty noob, you are still taking ur own risk if u follow my experience..
Step 5 (recovery fix) is only necessary if you are sticking with a stock ROM. All it does is delete the two files that restore the stock recovery. These two files are only in the stock ROM, which is why you don't need to do this if you install a custom ROM...
Also, as started earlier, you can also skip the su zip if you plan on installing a custom ROM...

@k2828 Did u formatted data and cache and did factory retest ?
if u didn't pls do that
@azur ARE YOU 100 sure that this is thr problem? you know that my micro USB port is dead...
i mean i had no device where you couldn't flash a new rom without wiping the ild one. i always could wipe afterwards

@k2828 am cen percent sure. am not telling to format system. if u format the system then only u will lose the current Rom.
check that is is saying that "Can't install this package on top of incomparable data run a factory reset"
when format the data the u will not lose the the current rom u will only lose the user data such as installed app, contacts saved in phone etc. actually formatting data means factory reset which will turn ur phone ROM into brand new u have to start over form the beginning. if u want to be safer side first do an nandroid backup of current stock ROM man then only u can restore that at any cost
look at the following step posted by @Rox
1. Download the ROM from the link below
2. Download GAPPS
3. Transfer the zip files to your SD card
4.. Reboot to recovery mode ( Vol UP + Home + Power )
Note: It is highly recommended to use TWRP recovery
5. Optional: Do nandroid backup
6. Wipe data / Factory Reset
Note: Needed if you are updating from other andorid version or stock
7. Install CM zip and GApps zip
8. Reboot to system
in the first you have to do Wipe data / Factory Reset the only u have to install the CM zip
still if u not believed me in the sense
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Esmt7eIIPjc
check out this video in that he will be using the CWM recovery to flash CM12.1 he will perform the Wipe data / Factory Reset first and then only he will Install CM zip and GApps zip

thx dude. i have overseen that there is a sd card slot. it worked after wipping data
What if i m rooting first tym my s3 neo
Modified boot.img of a rom is required to be flashed on that rom so that it works with TWRP.
Enabling ADB during first boot creates a way out in case your phone bootloops or stuck at MI logo and also hardbricked.
Many people hardbricked their phone while flashing MIUI based roms through TWRP, and they had to test-point to bring their phone back to life, my mod enables adb during boot and so people who used my mod and hardbricked their phone can access adb when their phone is stuck at MI logo or bootlooping and thus revive their phone.
Tools needed:-
1)Notepad++ (google it and download)
2)Android Image Kitchen(AIK) http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3638835&d=1454959265
Steps:-
1)Download the required rom and extract its boot.img
2)Copy the boot.img to AIK folder and drag boot.img and drop it on unpackimg.bat
3)Open ramdisk folder and look for default.prop , open them with Notepad++
4)Editing default.prop Note:- This will enable adb at first boot
5)Change
Code:
ro.secure=1 to ro.secure=0
ro.adb.secure=1 to ro.adb.secure=0
ro.debuggable=0 to ro.debuggable=1
persist.sys.usb.config=none to persist.sys.usb.config=adb
delete the line ro.secureboot.devicelock=1 if present
OR (Alternate way)(recommended)
open ramdisk and look for fstab.qcom, open with notepad++ and search for ",verify" (without quotes) and delete it and save.
6)Now execute repackimg.bat, a image-new.img file will be compiled.
7)Flash the image-new.img through TWRP or through fastboot using "Fastboot flash boot image-new.img"
That's all
P.S:- Remember only use Boot.img specific for the miui version you wanna run, boot.img version not matching with MIUI version
will cause the Wifi to stop working.
Press thanks If this helped.:good:
Any queries feel free to ask me.:laugh:
Does the modified boot.img procedure need to be done for every ROM or just for the MIUI ROMs? I want to install the AOSP ROM and later CM 13 but I'm still not sure about the whole flashing process.

So if I'm on Miui Official Global ROM 7.2.3 all I have to do is flash TWRP through fastboot, boot into it and flash the new ROM+GApps through it?

Thank you! I just did it. It has booted and almost over in the "Optimizing apps" window. Thing is, I did forget to wipe system, data and cache before flashing, should I do it again or will it be fine like this?
EDIT: I rebooted the phone into recovery, wiped system, data and cache, flashed the ROM zip and wiped cache and dalvik cache. I booted the phone and it showed the Mi logo, then 4 circles screen flying around (green, red, blue and yellow) and it has been like this for like 5 min now.. Did I do something wrong? I'm starting to worry to be honest.

are you sure you are using the boot.img of the MIUI version you are flashing? there is two 7.2.3.0 version of boot.img one for global and one for china. Anyway try this and see if wifi works, goto TWRP(I hope you've already deleted the emmc_appsboot file), select mount and then tick on mount system as read only. Then flash the rom. This method will replace TWRP with MIUI recovery but your wifi should start working.

Hello, I've followed a certain tutorial and flashed a fastboot Rom with modified emmc file in attempt to unlock bootloader by force because, even after two weeks of trying, I can't get a confirmation SMS from xiaomi to confirm sending an unlock request. After doing it and flashing TWRP onto my device, I'm still unable to enter recovery. Just shows a picture of device and a disconnected usb cable. I need to flash SuperSU in order to get root access.
Because this device is getting me really confused, please answer a couple of questions for me.
If I flash a recently uploaded global stable ROM 7.2.3.0. and flash TWRP with a modified boot image from this tutorial, will I finally be able to enter recovery and install SuperSU?
Flashing will probably relock my bootloader. Is it possible for me to finally enter TWRP and flash SuperSU after flashing the new boot image?
I've thought that I could enter TWRP just by unlocking the bootloader but it seems that I've missed something. I can't remember last time a phone got me this confused.
My only goal here is being able to enter TWRP and rooting my phone, I gave up on unlocking the bootloader officially because I can't ever get that confirmation SMS.
I appreciate the help!! :fingers-crossed:
I am not responsible for anything done wrong for you and your device. Sorry!!
You have two options to follow, the 1st one is long, may be difficult to follow. I recommend you to read option 1 and 2 both but to follow option 2
OPTION 1
Hello friend this is a short tutorial for those who have just bought the Beast Red Mi Note 3.
This guide is only for Redmi Note 3(Qualcomm Snapdragon 650 2GB/3GB version) users.
The Device's codename is kenzo. It also called Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro. On MIUI sites Its also mentioned as HMNote3Pro so don't get confused.
The below mentioned MiFlash-Tool is required in emergency. Installing Mi-FlashTool in PC also install all the Quallcomm and Xiaomi Drivers to make your device function with PC at any mode( recovery, fastboot or system mode) Make sure before installing MiFlash-beta setup, You have disabled Driver Signature Enforcement in your Windows PC. To know how to disable check on Microsoft sites for your particular OS.
Requirements
1. A PC with windows 7,8,8.1 or 10 32-bit or 64-bit with .NET Framework version 3.5 installed. Before you install Mi Flash. To download .NET framwork visit the microsoft website.
2.Download Xiaomi MiFlash-Beta(This beta version works good and also support 32-bit Windows OS) http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=at...2NGJkfDE0ODE4MTQxMTh8MTU5MjAzMDUwMXwyODE5Nzk=
3.TWRP Recoveries- download all these 3 recoveries
a. Alka TWRP http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=at...xMmZifDE0ODE4MTY5NzZ8MTU5MjAzMDUwMXwyODI3NzM= (for emergency backup and restore) (this recovery is most necessary to backup all the partition of our device. RN3 comes with all about 40 partitions, and their are many important files stored their. So at anytime you get any problem just restore. The recovery image file is compressed in a .zip file. Therefore, you may need to firstly extract it using Winzip on your PC or extract it using ES File Explorer on your phone. One more thing, this build is for Redmi Note 3 Qualcomm Snapdragon (Kenzo).
b. Cofface TWRP https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5bSNUUrjm6JQjFhUEkzZXZ2bkk (zip password www.cofface.com)
c. Official TWRP https://dl.twrp.me/kenzo
If you want to flash custom Rom like Cyanogenmod, xiaomi.eu, Resurrection Remix etc. This tutorial will help you to use all those thing which can be done on our Beast .
:angel: first of all you guys get the Bootloader unlocking permission from en.miui.com/unlock/ (recommended) and always sign in the Mi Account with valid mobile number and e-mail which is used by you currently and can be accessed by you anytime. Goto setting in the phone and register for Mi account and login. Enable Find Device feature.
i have not checked ZC-X TWRP RECOVERY because i have seen some people getting problem from zcx, but now it is upgraded. So it can be universal for everything( like flashing any official/stock/custom rom(as cofface and official do), maybe it supports all partition backup( like alka do) and also it can be used to update or upgrade you MIUI based rom. Check it at your own risk.
3.USB DATA cable (the one that came with your device).
4. device battery charged at least 50%.
5. A good observer and patient most of patient.
I don't think about any other way to unlock bootloader. You can find them on other places but I don't find them easy than this.
So I am supposing that you guys using your phone with stock MIUI Rom that should be MIUI 7 or MIUI 8 with stock recovery and You got the permisssion official to unlock your beast .
So just unlock the bootloader by using MiUnlock tool from PC. Store all these tools in your PC for future process.
Now you have unlocked bootloader to check the status just boot your phone into fastboot mode by pressing volume down+power key when your device is off then use this fastboot command fastboot oem device-info to check the bootloader info if it says bootloader unlocked:true then you are ready to go. If you don't know how to setup adb-fastboot environment and driver check it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
Put unlocked bootloader phone in fastboot mode,connect device to PC using USB cable and check the bootloader status again to verify it is unlocked or not by using command fastboot oem device-info. Now copy(don't cut because you should have a backup plan for each process) all the recoveries ALKA TWRP, CoffaceTWRP and official TWRP recovery to the adb fastboot folder and rename alka twrp to alka.img,cofface twrp to cofface.img and official twrp to official.img. Please copy and rename one by one for don't getting confused. If you accidently rename cofface to alka then it will be not good to you after flashing. So take each step carefully.
(if you have managed environment variables on PC then you can use adb fastboot commands any where in PC, That is a good idea. So if you want to know how to set environment variables just comment here I will give you all the steps.)
Now just press continuously the Shift key and press RIGHT CLICK on the blank area of window.
An option menu will be showed click on open command prompt here.
A black backgrounded command shell will be opened.
Now type fastboot oem device-info and press enter key.
If it shows bootloader unlocked :true then proceed to the step 1 and if shows false then don't proceed unlock your bootloader which is shown above with this symbol :angel:.
Step 1:
A.First of all take backup of internal sd by copying all the folder and files in your PC's folder and name this folder to KenzoInternal you can use any name. And delete more files in internal to get atleast 5GB space.
B.You shuould have atleast 5GB space in your internel to back up your all device partition through ALKA TWRP.
C. copy all three recoverys(cofface.img,official.img and alka.img) in your phone's Internal SD directly or make a folder recovery and place there.
Now go,read and follow the instruction from below
Boot your phone in fastboot mode and connect with PC
open command prompt in adb-fastboot folder where you have copied all the recovery images(official.img,cofface.img and alka.img)
Type on command prompt:
fastboot flash recovery alka.img
it will be flased in atleast 10 seconds.
Now we have to go directly to recovery mode from fastboot mode not in system so care fully press volume up + power key at the same time in your REDMI NOTE 3 and when your device vibrate leave the power key but don't leave the volume up key until the recovery window get shown. If your device get booted to system not in recovery then maybe your flashed 'alka' will be replaced with stock recovery, and may be it get bootloop or maybe it will boot successfully but have some problems like Wi-Fi radio get disabled.
Read the above step again and do everything carefully.
Step 2:
[[ If on welcome screen the language shows in chinese or other, then simply swipe on first screen and touch on the 2nd column and 3rd row in menu and then touch on the icon(shows like earth or sphere) and choose English and then done. ]]
In recovery go to BACKUP and mark all the partition I said all the partitions (you can leave unmarked the DATA partition if you are not wanting to make backup of your own installed applications and their data. It will decrease the backup size and also the TIME) their may be 35+ partitions. And swipe to backup. Their are some partitions like system,efs(stores modem and radio and may be your IMEI information) etc have the sensitive data. So you are mostly recommended to mark all the partition except DATA(optional).
GREAT!!! wait until getting backup.
Step 3:
Now touch on Install menu in recovery and touch on Install Image that is always in the right below of the screen upto the swipe handle.
Now browse to the root of internal sd or the folder where you have copied all the recovery images(cofface.img,alka.img and official.img). And choose the cofface.img and swipe to install.
Now get back by touching on back arrow symbol on left bottom.
Step 4:
Touch on REBOOT menu in recovery and then touch on Reboot to recovery or to recovery.
Your RN3 will reboot again to recovery(which is now cofface).
[[ If on welcome the language shows in chinese or other then simply swipe on first screen and touch on the 2nd column and 3rd row in menu and then touch on the icon(shows like earth or sphere) and choose english and then done. ]]
Now touch on reboot and thenreboot to system.
If it shows that your recovery will be
If any query shows saying your phone is not rooted just touch on Do not Install
your phone will boot to MIUI system as it was. and it has a custom recovery(currently cofface).
if you want to root your device then download superSu.zip from https://download.chainfire.eu/921/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.65-20151226141550.zip and place it in your internal sd card of phone and then boot to recovery by pressing power key+volume up key on same time then go to install and choose to install for supersu_vx.xx.zip file and swipe to flash. Then get back and wipe cache and dalvik/ART cache or some times it also reboots automatically.
Kindly follow the on-screen instruction which shows on screen during installation.
NOTE: It may be bootloop or take too much time on first boot after installing superSu.
SuperSU app and all the applets(including busybox tools) also comes with superSU zip file. So no need to install it through PlayStore. However you can update from PlayStore.
You are strongly recommended to take the backup(whole partition backup taken by ALKA TWRP) and copy it to Your PC that is the life of your mobile. I know you can flash An official MIUI rom through PC using fastboot or EDL method but If you lost your EFS partition then You will lost your IMEI which is unique to each and every devices. In Qualcomm Snapdragon based phone It is hard to recover IMEI. I say hard not impossible. Their are many forum that give solution to this but It is highly recommended to have this backup copy to your PC. You can find your backup in the /sdcard/TWRP/Backup/ OR open Internal SD then go to TWRP folder then open BACKUP and then a folder like 5exxxye. just copy this folder to your PC and keep it safe or you can save it to other places also that will be more good and also show your smartness.
How to install custom ROM or OSs in RN3Snapdragon?? Hmm come here
NOTE: Always flash all custom ROM(Except MIUI) through official TWRP. But when you have made your mood to install custom ROM you have to flash official twrp through either with TWRP(currently cofface in your device) or with fastboot command using same method that I have explained above when we have flashed coffaceTWRP in your device or use this commandfastboot flash recovery official.img
I have tested many ROMs but I found most stable Resuurection Remix(based on Marshmallow) and CyanogenMod 13(based on Marshmallow) yet. Everything is working fine except VoLTE. Their are many available ROms that supports VoLTE based on Nougat(Android 7.0 or 7.1) but have some bugs with camera. (The Cyanogenmod 14.1 officially is also declared but in experimental mode(nightly)(not recommended for you.))
I am going to show you the steps to flash custom ROMs without getting into any problem but you are recommended to follow each steps carefully. Thanks
Suppose you have downloaded official released Cyanogenmod 13 for your phone from here https://download.cyanogenmod.org/get/jenkins/174586/cm-13.0-20160816-SNAPSHOT-ZNH5YAO0FI-kenzo.zip (It is recommended to download it to your PC for backup plan). Having a copy of this backup in your PC makes you free to delete it from internal SD to free the space when you are in a Stable Rom or in a ROM you loved and want to be always with it.
then place it to your internal SD. now follow these steps... Check out your device battery is 50+ % charged.
Step 1:
Reboot to recovery. Go to install and choose install image. Now choose official.img(officialTWRP) and then swipe to flash/install it.
Step 2:
Now reboot again to recovery by choosing REBOOT in recovery menu and then RECOVERY
your phone will be rebooted to official TWRP recovery which is not supported by MIUI. I mean official recovery doesn't have the ability to patch the boot image., that is why I said it is not supported.
Step 3:
Now go to wipe/format menu in TWRP recovery(I am supposing you have the back up with alka twrp before and have copied it to your PC also.). Choose 'advanced wipe' and Mark these partition System,Data,Cache,Dalvik/ART cache. Do not choose Internal SD, Micro SD or USB OTG. and swipe to wipe.
Step 4:
After wiping now you have not any Operating System installed. Just touch INSTALL in RECOVERY MENU and choose the ROM ZIP file which is cm-13.0-20160816-SNAPSHOT-ZNH5YAO0FI-kenzo.zip (for example). Always use the ROM that is build for Your Device. Since above zip file's name shows it is for kenzo that is your RedmiNote3 Quallcomm Snapdragon.(just check the underlined word in zip file.)
and swipe to flash and wait no matter how much time it takes. Just wait don't try to reboot.
if you want to flash google apps(GApps) like play store and play store services you have to install it also after flashing the ROM zip file. to download GoogleApps go to opengapps.org and choose arm64 from architecture menu and choose android version for this ROM(Cyanogenmod 13) choose 6.0. choose which package you want I recommend you to use pico it will only install play store and services and you can also install other google apps through Play Store later.
If you want all google apps then choose 'aroma' it has a built-in file explorer to choose particular app in recovery.
Step 5:
After installing cyanogenmod and GApps wipe cache and Dalvik/ART cache again. Do not wipe anything else.
Now its time to reboot to the system.
first time it will take atleast 2 to 10 mins (depends on the open GApps package type) for optimization of apps.
After that go and enjoy..
Any problem comment below.
To revert back to MIUI again.
just copy the backup folder you have taken before, to the folder /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUP/ and reboot to recovery(currently official).
and choose to install image in recovery menu and then choose alka.img and then reboot to recovery again(using recovery menu).
You will again reboot to recovery (currently ALKA).
In alka recovery menu choose to WIPE and wipe these partition SYSTEM,DATA,CACHE,DALVIK/ART CACHE.
then choose RESTORE from recovery menu and select your backup folder and it will show the list of all the partition you have made backup. Mark all and swipe to restore.
Note:sometimes it shows an error during restore that it can't restore firmware partition. If it show this error kindly choose to restore again and mark all partition except firmware partition then swipe to restore.
After restoring backup(MIUI) do not reboot just. choose to install image and install cofface.img again because this recovery works with MIUI.(Cofface twrp paches boot image automatically which is required to make custom recoveries to work with MIUI ROMs ) after installing cofface.img. Reboot to recovery again and then reboot to system.
Now wait if it takes too much time (may be 15 to 20 mins).
Now you are come back to your MIUI ROM.
MUST READ:
1.Always check your bootloader status after and before flashing any ROMs(boot to fastboot mode connect USB to PC and type the command in command window fastboot oem device-info.
2.If any time it shows bootloader unlocked: false then use Mi Unlock tool to unlock the bootloader again. You have to use same user-name/mobile number/e-mail and password to sign-in the UnlockTool which you have sihned in your phone.
3.No matter how many ROM you have flashed or which OS you currently using. MiUnlock-tools always recognises your phone.
4. During unlocking the phone your PC must have an internet connection from other sources.
5.You can't use your phone's wi-fi hotspot to unlock its bootloader because it should be in fastboot mode.
6.Always make back up and store them in safe place.

OPTION 2
Now you can use zcx recovery which is Universal to flash custom/stock/miui ROM without any problem. So unlock your bootloader and flash ZC-X twrp recovery, and follow the instruction comes with it, you don't need to follow the long procedure given above. You should use it with Marshmallow based MIUI ROM too which comes with by default DATA partition encryption. It can automatically decrypt DATA partition. So go for it here https://www.google.co.in/url?sa=t&r...DwoAzQEtfzPxp4Shw&sig2=SOZcDMBpgO_teBIK6lNnhw
Thanks any problem comment below. Enjoy

This tut has been pretty clear but I have a typical doubt! If I unlock my phone using mi flash tool by using the miui7.1.8 fastboot rom and flash twrp and if I later how do I update my miui? If I would be able to update it in some way doesent the bootloader get locked again? If it gets locked and I need to downgrade to older miui version! Pls help!
If I use offical twrp and take my unrooted miui backup and flashed cm14.1 and then latter restore my unrooted miui i wouldn't work?

Seriously dude , zcx supports all partition backup like alka twrp+6.0 encryption problem is also solved ,inbuilt boot image patcher + miui ota support
This guide just made procedure to flash ROMs more hectic and uneasy and long process.
I Recommend user to just flash zcx twrp and do all the stuff you want,flash any roms including miui.

Then must use cofface because MIUI based custom rom like
Xiaomi.eu etc. Are also need boot image patching..but 1st
Take full nandroid backup through alka and copy it to pc
Before flashing it. After flashing MIUI based custom rom use
Check your bootloader status because some of them locks your Bootloader again..

1st of all the bootloader status(lock/unlock) get changed
From rom to rom. So everytime if you wanna flash something
Like any rom(official/stock/custom) or any recovery you need to check your bootloader status 1st. I have told in post that if u wanna flash Miui rom or wanna update it,just flash through cofface recovery. And one thing to remember, never downgrade miui version through cofface (for example Miui8 to miui7). But if u want to upgrade(for ex. Miui7 to miui8) or want to update(ex.- miui 8.0.1 to miui 8.1.1 or something like this) then you can use cofface twrp recovery and also zcx twrp recovery. Before flashing make sure you have full backup through alka twrp. You should read the post again.

It will work if your miui backup from official twrp contains backup of firmware partition. Since official twrp doesn't supports all partition backup. So you need to flash a miui based fastboot rom then unlock bootloader again if it get locked and then flash alka to take all partition backup then save this backup to pc. And after that check the post again for what you want.

you are right but zcx doesn't support all about 40 partitions. Maybe it comes with all features that we get in all other twrp recoveries like cofface,alka etc. but for whole partitions backup alka is necessary.
But it is true that ZCX supports important partitions that are more important while ALKA twrp supports whole with important and not important
This post is not so long or uneasy. It is for noobies to understand. This is not for PROs. Thank you!

okk bro I am wrong. I am also using it and thanks for the info. I will add it in the tutorial. Thanks
No problem bro, i know you have made guide for new comers( i wont call them noobies) & it's a good one.
But i am just in favor of "if we can do things on easiest way,no need to choose harder ones"
I will try to suggest if some steps need to be included and what other things which we can short doing the flashing procedures.

@micky387 Hi!
One Question, the fstab file was taken from Honor View 10 forum or you modded that? Because I the one that I'm using was taken from there.
First I did the wipes on Twrp but my internal storage wasn't recognized when the phone booted, so I had to wipe using stock recovery and it worked, now I can use my internal memory on Twrp.

Hi,
first, fstab is from Mate 9. The only diff with View 10 is this line.
Code:
/devices/platform/e7f00000.hifi_usb/* auto auto defaults voldmanaged=usbotg:auto
you can add it in my fstab if you want for your device
for the second question ,I have already noted that for me, just restart in recovery mode to fix this
With TWRP do you use ?

Thanks for the answer
On my last testing, I flashed your fstab without problems and wiped using stock.
To flash your zip, first I need to use this twrp https://forum.xda-developers.com/9-lite/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-0-t3789306 it boots even if the phone is encrypted but you need a sdcard, after the decrypt is done, I replace it with this twrp https://marijuana.ddo.jp/cm/recovery

Return to stock emui/encryption
Hello!
I have a mate 9 c432 b370 with LineageOS 16 by micky (but due to stopped development i want to go back, the other treble roms just aren't working that well as rhis one, and I'm having a bit of bad battery life right now)
My question is:
"If you want to come back to stock EMUI/Encryption data ,reboot into erecovery and use "download last firmware and recovery" and follow the steps"
Is this the only way to go back to stock/encryption?
A wipe data or factory reset on emui stock recovery wouldn't work?
I'm asking because i have decrypted a while ago.
The last time i tried to use erecovery it said "no packages available" with an exclamation mark.
I have flashed stock system, kernel, ramdisk and recovery to boot back several times, but this time i have decrypted the internal storage...
Just need confirmation and/or possible solution to this. @micky387
Thanks in advance

If you check by the dates, it was all discussed at the time of EMUI 8/Oreo.
Earlier with Nougat, there was no such problem (TWRP was able to access internal storage).
To the other side, with current EMUI 9.1, Vendor is read-only and proposed modifications will not work
