Is it necessary to flash rom again as i am already on 7.2.5. Yesterday after unlocking bootloader officially i update my ph to 7.2.5 ota from 7.2.3.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rajdip:
Dont flash Twrp use stock recovery, download the ota, goto updater app, press on 3dots on upper right corner, then select update package then select the OTA zip.

I need to root my ph that is why i need twrp. I already update thru ota and currently i am on 7.2.5 global stable with unlocked boot loader. That is why i am asking these que..
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rajdip:
Sorry i misread, you can flash TWRP in fastboot mode, and then you have to flash universal boot.IMG patcher, and supersu, you don't need to flash ROM again
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] spider.man2:
thank you so much, i successfully installed twrp from this thread http://xdaforums.com/redmi-note-3/development/recovery-kenzotwrp-cafface-3-0-0-t3369341/page2

i also rooted my phone, i think by using this twrp there is no need to flash universal patch.img?

[MENTION=5262545]Johnny199314[/MENTION] is your bootloader unlocked official or unofficially?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Johnny199314:
unoffically..bro..i am using global developer version..i got an incremental update of 44mb..is there any possible way to flash that update ?:confused::confused::crying:
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rajdip:
download this updater script, replace it with the updater script on OTA. Now you need the original boot.img of the current version of MIUI version you are running. Goto TWRP flash the original boot.img, now flash the OTA, now goto install press "up a level" look for patcher folder and flash universal boot.img patcher. It should work. Take a backup in TWRP if something goes wrong.

P.S- if you are using other TWRP versions other than safe TWRP, you will need to delete emmc_appsboot.mbn from OTA or you will hardbrick your phone.

Hi... im not understand. im now official unlock bootloader. so which one twrp i need use? even i official bootloader im still need patching universal boot img?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] jain_pranav:
You should not use this recovery. Use the cofface modified twrp which does not require patching boot img.

Since you unlocked officially, you don't have to remove the emmc file.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sohan_Saymum:
I've officially unlocked my RN3 sd. Do I have to modify the boot.img on flashing OTA? do I have to flash OTA from TWRP or will it work from updater app?

Hi rajdip,

My ph is now showing ota update 7.3.2.0 241 mb.. Should i update it using updater or wait for for rom?

If i opt for full rom do i need to flash via updater or fastboot?

I officially unlocked bootloader and twrp 3.0 installed with xposed as well.

Do i neeed to root again? After update
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rajdip:
you cant flash OTA through TWRP, what you can do is, flash official mi recovery, update using OTA through updater app, then again flash TWRP, and flash supersu for root(because you need to root again) and flash universal boot.img patcher
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rajdip:
nope
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] spider.man2:
As the full rom is available now for stable 7.3.2.0, can i flash full rom 1.1 gb zip file thru twrp? Will this work for me as Bootloader unlocked officially.

As i dont want to go back to stock recovery.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rajdip:
yes you can, dont forget to flash universal boot.img patcher or phone will not boot

Thanks for this... Not sure how, but am not seeing any img file here to flash the recovery and there is only zip file. Is there any .img file?

Also today, I think while scanning through your thread and other ones, I did come across one recovery image file named sTWRP.img but then can't find back original post / thread of same. Is that your version ?

Sorry for confusion, today only got Redmi Note 3 and was exploring right ways to get it rooted and move to titanium for restoration..
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rajdip:

However i see the changes for new rom..build.prop also shows new rom..what is wrong?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rajdip:
how did you flash 7.3.2? dirty flash?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] spider.man2:
Dirty flash means? I downloaded full 1.1 gb zip file for 7.3.2 global stable.

Rebooted in twrp and firstly install this rom file then supersu zip file then universal boot.img zip file...

After that when ph completely starts i again rebooted in twrp and flashed xposed..

After that i checked in about version 7.3.2 was showing... In matter of 2 hrs when i again rebooted and ph starts with notification a new update available as 7.3.2.. So i checked about section again and there it is showing 7.2.5 older version.

But i see that new rom has flashed as new changes are available.

Build.prop file showing the new version i.e. 7.3.2

Not sure what was happened..
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rajdip:
Did you wipe system and data before flashing? Strange, never heard anything like this before

Hi bro, today i flashed the full new rom global stable 7.3.5, then rooted the phone. I noticed in settings-about- version is showing as new 7.3.5 global stable.

However, when i flashed xposed zip file, miui version changed in settings, it is showing 7.2.5 global stable.

Previously i also raised the same issue but did not get the idea why it happened, now i doubt in xposed as after flashing this zip file, version changed in settings.

Build.prop file is showing the new rom version 7.3.5.

Any solutions??

I flashed this xposed file, found in xda forum.

xposed-v83-sdk22-arm64-MIUI-edition-by-SolarWarez-20160428.zip

Edit: Today I flashed the uninstall .zip file for xposed from recovery, then the new version of miui showing in setting i.e 7.3.5 global stable.

then i again flashed the xposed zip file for v85 found in this forum by solarwarez.

the version of miui again changed in setting i.e. 7.2.5 global stable.

not sure why this happend, any help?

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] fbh59:
As you already have an unlocked bootloader but want twrp only temporarily, then do the following: (provided that you have the required twrp.img file with you in the same fastboot folder in your pc)

1) plug in your device to the pc via cable and enter fastboot mode by pressing power and vol down buttons simultaneously, while in switch on condition, till the bunny appears.

Note

Sometimes plugging in your device to pc via cable after you entered into fastboot mode doesn't work, even though "fastboot devices" command recognizes your device, but it fails to flash any recovery, hence do it while plugged in.

2) Enter the following command:

fastboot boot twrp.img(or the full filename of the twrp image you have downloaded) --> flashes twrp temporarily and is gone after a reboot

while

fastboot flash twrp.img --> flashes twrp permanently until you flash an official stock rom.

Hence just use the only first command after you have ensured that you have put the supersu.zip file in your device memory, then just flash the supersu zip file and reboot and thats it. You won't have twrp recovery anymore but will have SuperSu installed :good:

[MENTION=3546190]rajdeep[/MENTION]

your edited cofface twrp is in .bin format..how to get twrp.IMG from that
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] fbh59:
For users with "OFFICIALLY UNLOCKED" bootloader, it makes no difference whether you use safe twrp or the official twrp, except for the locale bug, when you use safe or cofface twrp(it stays at China after every reboot, even though Global firmware has no China locale). It is recommended to use the official twrp for officially unlocked and safe or cofface or alka recovery for unofficial unlocked bootloaders.

Now one thing needs to be done by both officially and unofficially unlocked users, that is flashing the universal boot img patcher.zip file provided in the 1st page of this thread from twrp, if users are flashing or rooting using twrp. But officially unlocked users can update using the Updater app as well without any issues, but they might have to download the full size file(incremental updates won't work if the phone is rooted, but they will work if its unrooted, but unlocked).
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ayaj007:
after entering "fastboot flash recovery twrp.IMG "

don't reboot your device and don't enter "fastboot reboot"

you should directly unplug cable and press power+vol up

you will successfully boot into twrp

I flashed the universal boot patcher.img right after I recovered my previously made backup and after that I was able to boot to MIUI8 again.

Thank you very muc!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks, this worked :)

But now I have another serious problem!

After I booted into TWRP and made a backup, I rebooted my phone (Redmi Note 3 Pro Snapdragon KENZO with MIUI8 Global Stable V8.0.1.0) - of course without letting it replace the TWRP recovery with stock recovery -, my phone is not booting up anymore.

I'm stuck on the screen with the "mi" in the middle and nothing happens :(

It's the second time that I have this problem, first time I thought I'd let it replace the recovery, but now I'm sure I denied it.

What's wrong? Where's my error?

Any help from you is really much appreciated!

I unlocked using the unofficial method. Am I right in thinking that I can safely switch between MIUI and CM? At the moment, I have CM installed. Could I flash a MIUI recovery ROM, then the patch, back up the installation and restore my CM backup? And if I chose. To switch back to MIUI, I could restore the backup and then flash the patch again?

Hi Radjip,

Could you please confirm if this method is still applicable for flashing new roms and/or rooting in Kate devices running marshmellow (Unofficial bootloader unlocked)?

For the MM roms (kate device with unofficial bootloader unlock), instead of flashing the universal patcher as the last step can't we use the following method and skip the flashing of the patch? Wouldn't that be sufficient, since we will essentially be flashing a modified rom that won't re-lock the bootloader?

Thanks a lot, keep up the excellent work!

"The easiest way is when you are flashing the ROM. During that time just decompress the boot.img and remove ",verify" and set ro.secureboot.devicelock=0, and recompress, flash the file. Done".
