It's a tar archive: you need to uncompress it again, winrar or 7zip or peazip would do the job. You will find the flashable image folders and files upon uncompressing it.

Question:

I am currently on a cm14.1 variant ROM (nitrogenOS) that while is amazingly fast and has amazing battery time, the camera and flash don't work perfectly and sometimes (very rarely) I get a boot loop, I might have to go to a more stable route soon.

So If I wanted to go to MIUI what would be the steps?

- install zcx twrp then flash the direct zip from MIUI website?

And if has updates it will work because twrp zcx supports OTA? (Also this OTA would be me flashing on twrp or the MIUI clicking to update would go to twrp auto?)

I have officially unlocked bootloader btw

Thanks in advance

[MENTION=6464210]tigax[/MENTION] check out globeROM ( http://mi-globe.com/index.php/rom-builder/ - don't miss the advanced builder settings ) and update weekly dev ROM manually using zcx maybe. Best for me, but camera sucks regarding image quality (seems normal on all ROMs?).

Guys I'm a little bit puzzled. I'm expecting any day now a new Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro 32GB ROM/3GB RAM, the one with the Snapdragon on it.

I go to the official MIUI download website (http://en.miui.com/download.html) and choose the Redmi Note 3.

After that I have four choices:

1) Redmi Note 3 Qualcomm Global

2) Redmi Note 3 Qualcomm China

3) Redmi Note 3 Special Edition Global

4) Redmi Note 3 MTK China

I guess 4 is out of the question! Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but I suppose 2 is the Chinese version without the Google Apps.

So which of the other two should I download for my device?

Thanks in advance! :)

You are not sure which RMN3 you ordered?

Did you buy codename "kate" which is Special Edition also called international version/edition with 152mm, having a Snapdragon?

Or just the RMN3 pro?

As I said the phone hasn't arrived yet. But based on the specs from the site, it's supposed to be 152mm in height.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] talkaboom:
I actually switched to the unofficial TWRP. It supports F2FS. Working with no problems.

There was one odd bug- after I flashed a zip (experimental Arise zip, so you wont have to worry about it unless you are testing stuff), the entire file tree disappeared, like what you see after formatting. It was a "wtf just happened" moment. For some weird reason, I decided to reboot to confirm if it did get F-d up. Then, it rebooted just fine and the partitions/files were visible again. Think it was some odd error caused by the zip.

However, that has been the only error I noticed. Everything else works every time.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] talkaboom:
I can recommend two things.

Verify that your bootloader is unlocked. (oem device-info)

Boot into Fastboot mode. Ensure your phone is detected with

fastboot devices

. Then boot into recovery without flashing it using the command

fastboot boot <imagename.img>

The second step will let you check the various TWRP images without having to flash them.

If all else fails, flash a miui global rom with the miflash tool and restart from the beginning (Permission required only once, of course)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] theshadowofamirage:
Hey now that I do think about it, that could be the case. There are recoveries out there that do lock the bootloader which is why I was probably shipped off to system when I tried to boot recovery.

Can you elaborate on the steps to check BL unlock status? (Sorry if you're going to have to repeat what you've said earlier but that sort of thing never hurt anybody :) )
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] talkaboom:
If you can still boot into android, ensure OEM unlocking and Root access for ADB+apps are both enabled in Developer Options. Ofc developer options should itself be on. Tap multiple times on Build Number in About Phone to enable it (you probably know that already).

Boot into fastboot mode (where you see the bunny operating on the android) with power button+volume down.

Connect with a USB cable to a PC/Laptop. ( I am assuming windows here, though the adb commands are same in Linux too)

Open DOS terminal in the ADB folder. Opening the dos window with admin privileges is preferable, not always required.

Check if your phone is being detected with

fastboot devices

If your device is not detected, install necessary drivers (You probably already have it)

Check bootloader status with

fastboot oem device-info

You will see bootloader status in the line

device unlocked: true/false

I do not believe any recovery image actually locks the bootloader-it is mostly the firmwares that do that.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] theshadowofamirage:
Pretty sure you're right about that - must be the firmware, but I've been on the latest CM 14.1 FW forever. It's strange I should encounter the aforementioned recovery problems. But all's good now.

Just checked, bootloader is unlocked indeed. :D

Sorry for all these questions, I've traditionally been a samsung user - didn't have to deal with fastboot and all over there. At least not until the galaxy S3. Thanks [MENTION=7525148]talkaboom[/MENTION]

Q. What is dm-verify?

Ans - If dm-verity enabled on your device then simply you can't modify your system partition. If you do then you will face bootloop. On ramdisk's fstab.qcom there is a "verify" check along with system partition. So if you remove verify from ramdisk then you can bypass dm-verity. Here LazyFlasher script does the job. Its removes the "verify" check from ramdisk while you flash the script. [Just to give you a vague idea]

~ Source: Official MIUI Forum (New user so can't post links yet.)

Q. What is forced encryption?

Ans - I myself don't have a clear picture about what it is, Only thing i know is that it encrypts the system if you make changes in the partitions.

So i really want to know, any one?

My Ques

1. Are dm-verify and Forced Encryption similar terms or connected in some way.

2. If i am using Official TWRP Recovery do i need to flash lazy-flasher every time i flash anything using recovery or is it just a one time thing.

3. Why developers are not mentioning that you will have to disable dm-verify while flashing any rom or use some modified TWRP which disables dm-verify.

Official TWRP:

In case i am currently on MIUI Stable & want to flash a custom rom,

If i flash Official TWRP Recovery & boot into it at that point only & then flash custom rom, I guess then i don't have to flash any files likes lazy flasher since the the new custom rom has a custom kernel.

& are there any custom rom which have dm-verify enabled.

I wanted to update my redmi note 3 from 8.1.6.0 to 8.2.2.0 and it wasn't getting updated through TWRP cofface recovery . So i tried replacing TWRP Cofface recovery with stock recovery img by following steps provided on this blog

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] RK_D2502:
I presume you have an unlocked bootloader and unrooted.

Force stop Updater app, >clear cache>clear data>relaunch Updater

MIUI 8 Updater App: Phone and Usb icon screen is actually the stock recovery. Try downloading the Full Recovery Rom of 8.2.2.0 MHOMIDIL. Open Updater, Select Choose Update Package. It will decrypt the file then wait for System Prompt to tell you to Reboot and Upgrade. I for one use the Updater App. Was on 8.2.2.0 then switched to 7.4.13 Global Beta. Just Installed ZCX Twrp about an hour ago

With regards to install MIUI stock recovery, Download the Fastboot ROMs 8.1.6

0 MHOMIDI rom or 8.2.2.0 MHOMIDIL, extract, go to images folder, copy recovery.img to a destination of your choice.

Flash recovery.img via Fastboot mode and Adb

Btw, you won't be able to update via Updater if a particular MIUI version is suspended. Even if the download link is still Live.

I recall 8.2.2.0 is still suspended. Retracted from the download section. Still 8.1.6.0

Seems like a dumb question, but....

Hi folks.

I've recently gotten a Note 3 Pro. Originally rooted, unlocked, twrp'ed and running RR. Like an idiot, I updated the firmware and lost root and relocked bootloader. Following the instructions here, when I am asking for unlock at MIUI, it keeps asking for my correct name. I've tried every option that I use, including MIUI account ID, all without success.

I know this seems like a dumb question, but.....

What are they looking for in a "correct name"?

Honestly, the response you seek is in OP. You can also try the really difficult to use tool called the search bar. Oh wait, its not difficult, it is super easy. Then there is also that thing people call "strudel" or was it "poodle?" No wait! Its Google.

On a side note - why the hell do you want that filthy peasant MiUI back in your life? You have already ascended.

Moral of the story: Don't expect everything to be handed out on a silver plate. If you cant find something, try something yourself. Worst comes to worst, you will soft brick your phone. There are guides on XDA and Miui forums to recover from that. When successful, report it, get thanked, and fill up your e-peen meter.

In trouble-error 7

I unlocked bootloader officially with the latest global stable build(8.2.4.0) and i installed zcx-twrp and have rooted the phone.I tried to install pure nexus project rom and I am getting error 7 even though i should have the necessary blobs(not sure what these are).Do I have to flash a new firmware given in the first post for android n or the firmware by strix?and in what order should i flash the rom,the gapps and the firmware.I am very apprehensive as I once have already hard bricked the phone and got the motherboard replaced after flashing a firware.This might have occured because I did an unofficial flash from lollipop(I don't remember) and using the firmware from strix.Please help me.I also tried aosp-extended and got the same error.The aosp-extended page says to unlock the bootloader of the global dev rom but I did it with stable version.Does this make any difference?

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] RN3P:
I flashed alkaTWRP (found in the OP) in fastboot. Worked fine and it even asked me if i wanted to root, didn't have to flash supersu myself. Just make sure you give it permission to write (it also asks for that).
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sumit Samanta:
Permission to write means?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] RN3P:
That TWRP has permissions to write in the system partition. You can set this under "Mount" => Untick "Mount system partition read-only".

This enables TWRP to persist reboots and not being replaced by stock recovery again. Also (I think) this is necessary for rooting.

Correct me if this is not true.
