Hey guys!
This is just a simple post for you guys who want to make the jump to Nougat on the Snapdragon version of the Redmi Note 3, but face issues like bootloop or soft brick .
I tried many times to flash to Nougat and failed, so I thought I would document my experience for anyone who needs it.
The main problem I faced was an outdated bootloader.
Here, I have detailed the steps I took to flash Nougat successfully on my phone.
This does assume that you do have some experience and knowledge about the world of custom ROMs.
- disclaimer -
I am not responsible for any damage you may cause as a result of following this guide.
I am not affliated with any of the authors that wrote the guides that I will link in this guide.
The links are there purely for reference, and if you wrote one of the posts that I have linked in this guide, please message me to have your name at the bottom of this post.
- disclaimer end -
Here are a few things to note.
1) The version of MIUI you were on when you unlocked your bootloader.
2) Whether or not you have uploaded your bootloader
3) Whether you unlocked your bootloader officially
4) Whether you have permission to unlock the bootloader from XiaoMi.
5) Download and install the latest version of MiFlash
6) Download and install ADB and Fastboot on your PC
7) Boot into download mode to check if your PC recognises your phone. If not, reinstall the appropriate drivers.
A few websites you might want to refer to :
A MIUI forum page which teaches you how to flash/unbrick your Redmi Note 3.
http://en.miui.com/thread-235865-1-1.html
A MIUI forum page that teaches you how to repair your IMEI if it gets corrupted
http://en.miui.com/thread-245598-1-1.html
A guide to the XiaoMi deep flash cable as a kind of last resort(This is essentially Xiaomi's version of Samsung's USB jig; to force your device into download mode)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/guide-how-to-flash-hard-bricked-redmi-t3490055
First, you may want to do a few things.
1) Check and double check your device codename (Kenzo for Redmi note 3 Pro, Kate for Redmi Note 3 SE)
2) Download the latest Global Developer ROM (There are .zip and .tar versions, for this guide we will be using the latter. I get my ROMs from here : http://en.miui.com/a-234.html )
After downloading it, decompress it until you see the file extension .tgz, then unzip it once more. At the end you should have one folder which contains some files and a folder called images.
3) Research and download the ROM and custom kernel of your choice
4) Check up and research anything you are unfamiliar with ( This is a great place to start : http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/guide-redmi-note-3-available-twrps-t3406708 )
So, to flash the ROM, you can follow these steps. Do note that these steps worked for me at the time of writing and may not necessarily work for you.
1) Backup your stuff (Pictures, chats, contacts, etc.)
2) Go to developer options and check enable OEM unlock and ADB.
3) Reboot into bootloader.(adb reboot bootloader / vol- + pwr from power off state)
4) Use MiFlash to flash the global developer ROM you downloaded.
5) Use the MiUnlock tool to unlock your device.
6) Reboot to MIUI. (If you don't, you might face problems with TWRP demanding for password)
7) Boot to download mode again.
8) Install TWRP recovery.
9) You can now make a nandroid backup. Also make a backup of your EFS partition and keep it somewhere safe.
This assumes that you flashed the latest global developer ROM.
10) You can now flash the ROM and GApps.
11) If you want to install a custom kernel, finish setting up the phone before flashing one.
12) You can install Viper4Arise now if you want.
Hi there, good to see you.
After struggling to find any helpful information about rooting ZTE Blade A2 plus, I finally was able to root>soft brick>hard brick>stock flash>repeat this beautiful device. So thought to share it here so that it becomes helpful for someone in need.
Device Information: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ge...te-blade-a2-plus-5-5-fhd-mt6750t-3gb-t3480759
Prerequisite: Winrar Latest version, VCOM and device drivers (MT67xx), General intelligence to download the attachments and to arrange everything in order and you're good to go
Step 1: Install custom recovery (We'll install TWRP)
a} Download recovery and preloader
b} Download Scatter file
c} Download SP Flash tools
d} Only tick recovery and preloader and select the downloaded files and flash it
e} When the process finishes and SP flash tools displays done, remove the phone and press "Vol Up+Power" to boot into recovery. It may ask you to make /system writable if you want swipe as indicated
f} Done enjoy
Note: Take this opportuniy to first of all backup your stock rom using TWRP and save it elsewhere.
Step 2: Rooting (With Magisk Or Super SU)
a} Download Magisk or Super SU flashable zip as per your need
Note: Magisk gives most of the Super SU features and doesn't trips google security net so you are able to use banking apps while rooted with magisk
b} Place downloaded zip in your sd card
c} Boot into TWRP recovery and flash the said zip
d} Done enjoy
Step 3: Flashing stock rom (Only russian version as of now)-Language is english bloatwares are Russian
a} Download Stock Rom from https://yadi.sk/d/RZLBrKKv3LxejN
Note: It contains PC Flashable stock rom along with scatter files and NVRAM backups so it'll help if you lose IMEI during the process, it is advisable to keep this offline as backup in case links stops working.
b} Flash the downloaded stock rom with SP flash tools
Note: This stock rom doesn't support VOLTE so i advice you to first take a full backup of your initial rom after installing TWRP, also please share that backup here as well so as i could add it to this thread to make it helpful for someone who has already lost VOLTE inclusing me
Conclusion: I'll be very happy if this information proves useful to you in any manner and also request you to must share your backup for me to get VOLTE back.
Thank You

Is this an update to the Stock Rom?
hi, can u help me please, iam tryin to update with twrp , i did remove first line from script but i have error.
Found a way to unlock bands on MTK based phones by flashing basebands from phones with the same chipset. Doing this by using SPFLASH and flashing md1 files. Still unable to connect to cell network on my Doogee bl12000. Flashed this phones MD1, was wondering if anybody could provide me with the nvdata and nvram from the ZTE blase a2 plus. Hoping by flashing those files can connect to a U.S. network.
Hi everyone,
i hope someone has time to help me on this. I had some experience with flashing custom roms with Lenovo a6000 and some Samsung phones, but it seems there's some things that are different with p9 Lite (L21), or some things i don't understand.
First things first, i've followed steps on how to install LineageOS (LineageOS-14.1-20171228-hi6250-UNOFFICIAL-HassanMirza01) over stock Nougat rom (B381), so i've unlocked the bootloader, flashed Revolution recovery via fastboot, and then installed the rom, gapps, magisk... What happened after installing magisk is a sudden restart, and after that, i got stuck at the LineageOS boot logo (i've let it work for over an hour until i gave up)... Thinking magisk was a problem, i also tried SuperSU, but had the same situation - restart before it finnished. Afterwards i've tried flashing EliteTWRP and after success, i've flashed the Omni-7.1.2-20171201-hi6250-HOMEMADE-HassanMirza01.zip, which also got stuck at the Omni boot logo, but i was able to do installation both with magisk and then again with supersu. Reading through XDA gave me some suggestions, one of them being to format userdata, which gave me a message that the command is not allowed.
Then i made a huge mistake of accidentally formatting internal dalvik+cache+data+system+INTERNAL STORAGE via recovery... After that, the Omni boot logo stopped showing, and i've been trying to repair it since then.
What i've tried so far is:
- fastboot flash boot, recovery (stock), system:
from what i've read there's also a CUST.img that i need to flash, but when i extract update.app that i had installed before all this, it doesn't contain it. I've tried flashing cust.img from another package, but it gives an error.
- after flashing boot, recovery and system.img, i've tried copying various update.app versions to dload on sdcard, then forcing update via pwr+volup+voldown, but every single one gives me "Software install failed - incompatibility with current version - please download the correct update package"... the same happens with downgrade package update.app.
It seems that only B381 update.app, when copied to sdcard and executed in the same way, gives a somewhat different message, instead of "incompatibility with current ver..." it says "Get help from http:..."
- adb shell dd if=/external_sd/oeminfo of=/dev/block/platform/hi_mci.0/by-name/oeminfo // re-locked my bootloader
- i can unlock the bootloader and install twrp again via fastboot oem unlock *************** and fastboot flash recovery
- i've also tried unbricking options via P9 Lite Toolkit app, no success.
- HiSuite recovery option says device is not supported for system recovery
Any suggestions ?

Thanks.
I've managed to revert to stock by following one thread here on XDA. What I did was install L21C432oemInfo-DS.zip, then wipe everything via TWRP, and finally copy the L21C432B130 update app to dload folder on sd card, then the setup went without any problems.
I am now doing a full backup via Meticulus TWRP before i do anything.
There's one thing i dont understand about AOSP and RessurectionRMX roms, it says they're EMUI5 based - does that mean i'd have to update to EMUI5 based stock rom before i try installing it (prerequisites don't mention anything emui related) or that simply means the rom contains EMUI5 ?

You must already be on EMUI 5 to install EMUI5 based ROMs.

Update twrp to 3.1.1
SOLUTION
1. Download QCOM TOOL AND DRIVER
2. FIRMWARE - SEARCH IT ON GOOGLE OR YOUTUBE YOU WILL GET
3. FOR DEVICE NOT DETECTING
4. YOU CAN USE PDA NET DRIVERS
5. PUT YOUR PHONE TO DOWNLOAD MODE CONNECT IT TO A PC
6. SELECT SOME SETTINGS - CONTACT ME [email protected]
7. DONE
THIS WILL BE HELPFUL WHEN YOUR DEVICE IS ONLY SHOWING YUNIQUE OR YU SCREEEN ON START/BOOT

Just flash latest NON-HLOS.bin through fastboot
Then install any rom.
Hi there,
I am using a OnePlus 8 Pro on Oxygen OS 11, Global variant. I have been working on this for at least 10 hours now. I bought the OnePlus 8 Pro orginally running Oxygen OS 12, and when I flashed the recovery (TWRP) for the first time to two slots via this explanation
, I bricked the phone so the only tool accessible to me was fastboot.
Hmm okay, I'll just use MSM tool (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...l-to-restore-your-device-to-oxygenos.4084953/) to revert back to oxygen OS so I can continue my mission.
I am trying to install the latest CRDROID from their official website after follow their instructions on here. I get as far as being in fastboot mode with the OEM unlocked, and then I try to flash the recovery they provided. It doesn't work. When I select boot into recovery, I get sent back to fastboot, however, when I flashed the original recovery img for Oxygen OS 11 I took from the payload dumper, it loads fine.
OKAY so now I am thinking that perhaps there is a problem with the recovery provided. That is fine so I choose to use TWRP to flash the custom ROM. Thankfully, it does work, and I am able to load into it through recovery, however when I tried to flash the rom through ABD sideload, from the PC whilst in TWRP, it doesn't load! It gets halfway and stops. I tried this several times to no avail.
I choose to then (after having bricked the phone several times by now and having to revert to factory settings with MSM tool), try to flash the custom ROM from the internal storage of the phone via TWRP. That still does not work. I have also tried this with Project Elixir. No success.
I don't know what to do guys. I have followed the instructions provided, but I don't understand why the phone is not accepting other custom recoveries or allowing me to flash a custom ROM.
All help is very much appreciate.
You have to make sure that you are on OOS11 on BOTH slots.
What i would do now:
Use MSM Tool to go to 11.0.4.4.
Boot the phone and flash 11.0.11.11 via local upgrade TWICE (to ensure its on both slots)
Follow the instructions of CRDROID etc.
Edit: Dont use TWRP on Android12 now.
Read this carefully before you do anything: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ro-8t-9r-with-oxygenos-12-coloros-12.4426167/
