Yep, as the person above said, I said you could do it without recovery, not without unlocking the bootloader.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] vEEGAZ:
Alright, I misunderstood you.

Still more 14 days to go until I can unlock the bootloader
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] tomsag:
That's completely untrue. I do tutorials for these devices on my website Android Explained and have bought the latest ones from the Mi Global seller account on AliExpress.

All have been completely sealed devices, shipped a day or two after their Chinese launch, and once you can unlock the bootloader (you do have to wait a certain period of time), then you can flash the global fastboot ROM with either Mi Flash, or just using the flash_all.bat file

That sounds interesting - so - please state if I'm correct:

Once Redmi Note 7 Global version is out, I could install the official Global ROM and this one would work and have OTA upgrades in future on my Chinese Redmi Note 7?

Thank you in advance.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] senerex:
Global rom for Redmi Note 7 is not available yet, and thus I can't test it myself yet, but judging by all other Xiaomi Smartphones I had until now (Mi 5, Mi 6, Mix 2s, Redmi Note 4, Redmi Note 5 etc.) I was always able to flash the global rom on my Chinese version of these smartphones. Of course the bootloader will have to be unlocked. I'm quite sure that flashing the global rom on Chinese version of Redmi Note 7 will be possible too!

EDIT 1:

Yes, OTA will work! Android development on Chinese versions compared to Global version is a prerogative of developers. They decide which version of MIUI (Chinese or Global) they take as basis for their further development.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Thanhbat:
Does OTA work on that ROM?

And How about Android development on Chinese versions compare to Global versions? Can you flash global's ROM on Chinese version?

Thanks

I didn't see any Lazyflasher for Note 7 yet. But anyway why would somebody want to flash twrp if not for rooting (e.g. flashing Magisk, Superuser etc.) or flashing a custom rom? I added a separate point for flashing the Lazyflasher in the AiO for Redmi Note 5 Pro at the specific request of some users otherwise I wouldn't have done it because personally I don't see a compelling reason for flashing the Lazyflasher at all.

Hello,

Is there any way to install ota update on redmi note 7 after flashing twrp recovery.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] senerex:
Try downloading the OTA-Updates as *.zip* file and flash them with twrp, but I'm note sure it will work. If you try it pls let us know if it works.

Alternatively you can either wait for twrps ("OrangeFox, "RedWolf") until they come out or dirty flash the full rom after every update as well as latest magisk.

C: Install the TWRP Recovery

a.-e....

e. Enter the terminal command in command line: >>fastboot flash recovery twrp.img<<. Attention: Do not restart your device otherwise Xiaomi's original recovery might overwrite the custom recovery twrp!

f. Boot your device into recovery (3 possible methods)

+ by entering terminal command in command line: >>fastboot boot twrp.img<<, or

+ by holding together "Volume Up + Power" until you see the MI logo, release "Power" button but keep pressing "Volume Up" until you see the recovery, or

+ by holding together "Volume Up + Volume Down + Power" until you see recovery

You have to execute the next point (D or E), if you can keep twrp!

If you only want to root your smartphone, then please continue to point D

If you want to install a custom rom, then please continue to point E

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] zed-87:
Let me guess, you're a lucky owner of AMD Ryzen CPU. I had the same issue as you do. The only solution to your problem is Intel CPU. Anyway, instead of Chinese you will most probably see another message in English at 99% telling you that you have to wait for few days till one month before you can finish unlocking process. In my case I still have to wait 10 more days to be able to unlock bootloader. :( And remember, you have to use your phone until the end of waiting time, otherwise they could add some extra days at the end of initial countdown's end.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] springfield:
i use 3.3.827.31 & 2.3.724.7

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] zed-87:
Yes, unfortunately you have to use a computer with Intel CPU in order to make it work. But as I said, even then you will probably get a message regarding waiting time. Give it a try.

1) Is it possible to keep global version stock and ROM install TWRP & Magisk?

2) will my data/settings get erased as a result?

3) Also what are some advantages and disadvantages for having TWRP and Magisk installed on stock ROM?

I can think for advantages : ability to erase bloatware, be able to delete dalvik cache,,,, anything else?

4) Will I still be able to get official MIUI updates from Xiomi?

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] senerex:
If you did a factory reset and again you connect your phone with your old approved mi account then you still should be able to unlock you bootloader with that account. I unlocked many different Xiaomi phones with the same account (waiting time between unlocking two different Xiaomi smartphone with the same account is 30 days). But since you are using the same account with the smartphone then you should have a waiting time from the moment you bind the account to your smartphone. :fingers-crossed:

Hi, thanks for this guide.

The last time i used mi unlock tool was 2 years ago (for my mido) back then i had to write a reason for why i needed to unlock the bootloader.

Yesterday i tried to unlock my lavender, i was following the steps proposed by mi unlock tool until it showed me a message that i had to wait 720h (pretty rediculous) , i tried again after one houre and it became 719h. It never asked me to write a reason. Is that normal? Did anyobe have to write a reason?

You're lucky with reduction of waiting time ;). Couple of times ago Xiaomi was asking to give a reason for unlocking the bootloader but recently they seem to have skipped that, so i deleted the reference for giving a reason from this AiO.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] senerex:
Can you enter twrp recovery (by holding together "Volume Up + Power" until you see the MI logo, release "Power" button but keep pressing "Volume Up" until you see the recovery, or by holding together "Volume Up + Volume Down + Power" until you see recovery)? If yes then download the latest rom (*zip*-file) you currently have in your smartphone (you can transfer files from computer to your smartphone in recovery mode) and dirty-flash it and (without restarting the smartphone) also flash the latest Magisk. If this doesn't work then do a clean-flash (Wipe: Dalvik / Art Cache; System; Data; Cache but be careful, don't wipe internal storage!).

If the recovery mode doesn't work then download the latest rom (*tgz*-file) you currently have in your smartphone and flash it in fastboot mode. :fingers-crossed:

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] senerex:
Pls read carefully the AiO in the first post. Everything is explained there!!!

1. Dirty flash in recovery mode:

+ Only you know which rom do you have currently on your phone (original rom stable, original rom developer, lineage, xiaomi.eu, etc.). If you have original rom then donwload the latest *zip*-file file from here (choose the right one): http://en.miui.com/download-360.html and put it into the internal storage of your smartphone.

+ Download latest Magisk from here: https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445 and put it into internal memory of your smartphone

+ Enter recovery (see my previous post as to how how)

+ In the main twrp screen please click "Install", search for the rom and flash it. Now go back to twrp screen please click "Install", search for the Magisk-*zip*-file and flash it

+ Restart your smartphone

2. Clean flash in recovery mode:

+ Only you know which rom do you have currently on your phone (original rom stable, original rom developer, lineage, xiaomi.eu, etc.). If you have original rom then donwload the latest *zip*-file file from here (choose the right one): http://en.miui.com/download-360.html and put it into the internal storage of your smartphone.

+ Download latest Magisk from here: https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445 and put it into internal memory of your smartphone

+ Enter recovery (see my previous post as to how how)

+ In the main twrp screen please click Wipe and then Wipe: Dalvik / Art Cache; System; Data; Cache; (be careful, don't wipe internal storage!)

+ In the main twrp screen please click "Install", search for the rom and flash it. Now go back to twrp screen please click "Install", search for the Magisk-*zip*-file and flash it

+ Restart your smartphone
