MIUI ROM
MIUI (pronounced as Me-You-I) is Xiaomi's custom built firmware on top of Android like Samsung's Grace UX, HTC's Sense, OnePlus's OxygenOS which runs on their smartphones. MIUI is also the second most popular Android firmware, after CyanogenMod. MIUI is based on Android's AOSP base with its own modifications and extensive features over the top. At first glance it resembles like a hybrid between Google's Material Design and Apple's iOS. But unlike Stock Android or iOS, MIUI is very intuitive, feature rich and has multiple tweaking options.
MIUI is updated regularly depending on the development branch. Xiaomi takes reports, feedback and suggestions from the community, addresses the bugfixes and integrates new features upon request. Most of Xiaomi devices are regularly patched with monthly security updates. The flagship "Mi" series like Mi3, Mi4, Mi5 receive quicker Android version updates than their budget "Redmi" series like Redmi 2, Redmi 3, Note 2, Note 3 etc.
TYPES OF MIUI ROM
There are 2 development branches of official MIUI ROMs for all Xiaomi devices.
A) Stable Branch aka Stable Builds
- It is updated on a monthly basis or longer
- New features are added slowly after testing
- Higher system stability and less bugs than Beta ROMs
- It has a four digit numbering scheme (X.X.X.X)
- For eg. 8.X.X.X is MIUI8 Stable ROM
- Stable ROMs come in 2 variants
1. MIUI China Stable ROM
- This ROM is pre-installed on all Xiaomi devices sold in China
- It is made for the Chinese market & contains Chinese MIUI apps
- Google Apps are absent. You can install them manually or by using ADB
- It supports Chinese & English language
2. MIUI Global Stable ROM
- This ROM is pre-installed on all Xiaomi devices sold outside China
- It is made for the International market & contains English MIUI apps
- Google apps are pre-installed by default
- It supports 50+ languages
B) Beta Branch aka Developer Builds
- It is updated on a weekly/bi-weekly basis or longer
- New features are added quickly for testing
- Lower system stability and more bugs than Stable ROMs
- It has a three digit numbering scheme (X.X.X)
- For eg. 6.11.21 is MIUI8 Beta ROM for 21th Nov, 2016
- This ROM is not pre-installed on any Xiaomi device.
- You have to install Beta ROM over Stable ROM manually.
- Beta/Developer ROMs come in 2 variants
1. MIUI China Beta/Developer ROM
- It is made for the Chinese market & contains Chinese MIUI apps
- Google Apps are absent. You can install them manually or by using ADB
- It supports Chinese & English language
2. MIUI Global Beta/Developer ROM
- It is made for the International market & contains English MIUI apps
- Google apps are pre-installed by default
- Supports more than 50+ languages
Vendor aka Unofficial MIUI ROM
- Official MIUI ROM is found on Xiaomi devices that are bought from official channels
- Official channels include Xiaomi stores, flipkart.com, amazon.com etc.
- Vendor/Unofficial MIUI ROM is typically found on Xiaomi devices that are bought from unofficial channels/third-party resellers
- Unofficial channels include geekbuying.com, gearbest.com, banggood.com, ebay.com etc.
- Resellers take any of the official MIUI ROMs and modify it by injecting malwares, adwares, promotional apps etc.
- Vendor ROM may or may not contain Chinese MIUI Apps or Google Apps
- The Vendor ROM is then flashed by the reseller via EDL mode using MiFlash Tool, which bypasses LOCKED bootloader status
- Vendor ROMs can be identified by their odd 5 digit numbering scheme (X.X.X.X.X) eg. MIUI8 8.0.1.1.0, MIUI7 7.9.8.8.0
- You can identify a vendor ROM by comparing its version with official MIUI version here : http://en.miui.com/download.html
- Due to stability & security reasons, such ROMs should not be used and should be changed immediately.
- You should flash official MIUI ROMs using MiFlash Tool via EDL mode.
TWRP
TWRP stands for Team Win Recovery Project. It is a custom recovery used to flash ROMs, kernels & scripts, take full system backups, restore backups etc. There are multiple versions of TWRPs for the Redmi Note 3 Snapdragon (kenzo). Many new users are confused as to which version of TWRP to flash after UNLOCKING the BOOTLOADER OFFICIALLY.
Thanks to Xiaomi for the multiple hardware revisions, outdated kernel sources & the tiresome process of unlocking the bootloader, this device has become even more complicated for the developers as well as for the end users. Hopefully Xiaomi updates the kernel sources as soon as possible. This will result in a streamlined and unified environment for the developers while compiling ROMs and for the user for a better end user experience.

For official users you can flash other ROMs with Alka TWRP as well.
For unofficial users you must flash Safe TWRP v2 after Alka to avoid hardbrick if you flash MIUI ROM.
I am running now stocl global rom with officialy unlocked bootloader.
How can I flash Alka recovery to backup and install cm13? just use adb flash recovery?
Thanks for the initiative, can you explain more about the partitions.
What if one doesn't have all the partitions backed up and flashed custom rom ( CM 13)?
Also please include the current version of TWRP for respective recoveries.

Santhosh's CM13 zip based on M firmware has M boot loader. After flashing the zip your bootloader gets locked & gets updated to M boot loader.
So if you want to revert back to MIUI based on Lollipop you need to take backup of each & every partition using Alka TWRP, other TWRP wont work.
This restores the phone back to L boot loader & preserves IMEI.
All the links are updated to the latest versions of respective TWRPs.

Can you also include them in the OP like official is on 3.0.2, alka on 3.0. Will be easier to keep track.
I think for officially unlocked bootloader the official TWRP should be used. You can flash the universal boot image patcher as a secondary ZIP if needed, and you can back up EFS with it
Hey all, I have successfully unlocked unofficially and flashed a alka via fastboot but I can't boot into recovery.
If I do adb reboot recovery it goes to a screen with a picture of my device which I assume is the stock recovery. If I reboot with Vol Up and Power I get the same thing. Any ideas? Thanks!
EDIT: I flashed "Safe TWRP v2" then Alka and it worked! Thanks OP
Nice information.
So the alka version is the best for official. Just want to know more:
1. Is that mean that backup/restore feature of cofface not backup all partitions?
2. Are there any differences between cofface and alka beside backup feature? Both seem not built from latest official twrp.
3. How about flashing (not restoring) other Rom from Santosh M Rom?
Thanks.

I installed alka version and it is in chinese, I am trying desperately to find a way to switch language, but all the guides online point to twrp theme manager, which does not work. any guide to change language from within twrp?
I flashed Cofface twrp also and the language is still in Chinese. there is no way to add some files somewhere to change the freakin' language?

1. Yes, only Alka TWRP is capable of backing up & restoring all partitions including bootloader.
2. Alka TWRP backs up EFS (IMEI) partition as well, Cofface dosent. Rest all features are same.
3. For official unlocked users : You can flash any ROM using Alka TWRP.
Unofficial unlocked users : You must flash Safe TWRP v2 before flashing any ROM else it will lead to hardbricking.

Re-flash Alka / Cofface TWRP, you will be greeted by a chinese text. Click on the box on the right, select English & tick mark the box above slider & swipe it.
SharkcpN said:
Yes you can use it too
1. Yes, only Alka TWRP is capable of backing up & restoring all partitions including bootloader.
2. Alka TWRP backs up EFS (IMEI) partition as well, Cofface dosent. Rest all features are same.
3. For official unlocked users : You can flash any ROM using Alka TWRP.
Unofficial unlocked users : You must flash Safe TWRP v2 before flashing any ROM else it will lead to hardbricking.

....i lost the L boot loader...
...good afternoon...
...i flashed shantosh's rom without taking backup...
...so, i lost the stock L bootloader...
...now i see the M bootloader with cyanogenmod logo...
...it's not a problem since i flashed a lot of cm based roms, and some miui roms also, with this M bootloader...
...but i want the official bunny bootloader back...
...how can i restore it back ?
...flashing with mi flash tool maby ??
Thanks for this post cos this finally clears up my confusions.... And well I suppose Cofface is good because rooting after updates is easy....But just one question....Exactly how do I install OTAs? It seems I cant install the small 150mb ota files so I have to install the fastboot rom...But do I have to wipe system before that? Because I tried flashing 7.3.6.0 update (fastboot rom 1.1gb) without wiping system and its still showing me on 7.3.5.0.... So what exactly is the method before applying OTAs?

You need to use recovery ROM, not fast boot.
And how to move from unofficially unlocked bootloader to official unlocking?

It is not a twrp bug. It is a security feature of stock rom to forcely encrypt userdata. So, force_decryption is required

This is for TESTING builds of TWRP for the LeEco Le Max Pro
Test Downloads:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1B9Eo6gD54aahMHvUh0NptVnN4DsvG3t3
Sources:
Tests: https://github.com/LineageOsMaxPlus/
Platform Tools (adb/fastboot):
https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools.html#download
Installation:
Make sure your bootloader is unlocked
Download the recovery image from above
Reboot into fastboot
Run this command (Change the .img to whatever the name of file is you downloaded):
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.3-0-max_plus.img
Once it is flashed, please force a reboot to recovery by holding down the Power and Volume Up buttons at the same time until the phone reboots and you see the LeEco logo and the word "recovery" underneath it. (This is because if you allow normal boot after flashing TWRP and you are using EUI ROM and your phone reboots to EUI ROM? It will overwrite recovery with stock EUI ROM recovery. Forcing a reboot from bootloader to recovery prevents this issue)
Known issues:
Can't flash some Marshmallow based EUI ROM versions (gives errors such as error 7). Please downgrade TWRP to 3.2.1-1 or earlier (such as 3.1.0-0 which is marshmallow based TWRP for x2) as those don't include quota storage support which is used on most Oreo and up custom ROMs. It might also require formatting data partition (Wipe > "format data" button > type yes > checkbox on keyboard)
For the TEST builds of TWRP? Please let me know if this works. If so? I will submit it to Gerrit for official updates.

Anyway, Fantastic!
Put your twrp and Magisk 20.4 stable on USB and booted old twrp (yours, for tb2 A7-10), sees USB storage fine, flashed new A7-20 twrp, rebooted - no problem - sees USB storage, flashed Magisk 20.4 no problem, booted system, Magisk SU and manager installed and basic functions working fine!
Many thanks. Please let me know re any further information you have or refinements you make for this tablet!
All best with TB2 A7-20, kind regards, PW

thanks, I managed to place the twrp after many years. but I need help with the root, try to flash the Magisk-v24.3.zip and v25.2 but I get an error (ERROR: 1) and it does not install. Would you know which version of magisk can be installed on the LL stock rom (4.4.2)?
