how and which official rom to instal on my redmi note 5 (china/AI) - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers

I got Redmi note 5 (china/AI) version with oreo out of the box and all good but i wanted to get rid of chinese bloatware and stuff. so i installed global official rom which turned out to be for indian Redmi note 5 pro and now i cant use camera. So I am trying to go back or install beta version or install twrp for this (https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...dmi-note-5-china-ai-to-leaked-global-t3782175) but i cant even install twrp. followed the methods still cant. any tips or guidance plz. my bootloader is unlocked.
tried installing twrp through XiaoMiTool, "device unautorized"
tried through Cmd, all worked and after reboot it was supposed to go to twrp automatically but it didnt and got boot up, i went to recovery manually but still stock recovery.
Now what to do ? need global rom for chinese variant which is in .tgz file so that MiTool can flash it. or tell me a way to flash roms in zip format.
Downloaded official roms from http://en.miui.com/download-342.html#513 both roms were in zip file. both roms didnt install the way described in Flashing guide (update app, search downloaded_rom and flash)
MiTool didnt flash them
MiFlash didnt install them.

Did you execute this command - fastboot boot twrp.img right after this command - fastboot flash recovery twrp.img? You need to boot to twrp first before you reboot. If even after reboot twrp gets replaced by stock recovery, then you need to repeat the fastboot process again and then flash lazyflasher in twrp.

You're welcome bro. I didn't do much. You might've missed this basic step when dealing twrp with miui roms. It's a slight effort. Anyway, enjoy this beast.

Thanks for that, little nervous as the last time I installed a custom ROM (other than my nexus 7) I thought I'd bricked my phone took me two days to get it working (HTC Desire)..
So following those instructions will do the job ?
I need to understand the terminology kernels , boot.img , ROMS, RUU but following those instructions and download the ROM extract the boot.img install that on my phone with fast boot on my PC then boot into TWRP and install the ROM and that's it ?

you need fastboot folders with fastboot files inside. you can find it here in xda. if this is your first time to flash i suggest you watch video tutorials.

Yes I have fastboot folder and files just downloaded the Viper ROM extracted the boot.img I have connected my phone checked devices in fastboot and the serial number shows so its there
Acording to the Viper instructions I now need to flash the boot.img then fastboot erase cache is that correct
Where are these videos please

Correct, flash the boot.img with the command fastboot flash boot boot.img
then fastboot erase cache
then boot to recovery and install the rom.zip via recovery.
Thanks so it really is that simple or am I missing something seen lots having problems with boot loops etc is there anything else I need to be aware of
As far as I can see the order and actions I need to do bearing in mind my HTC is already bootloader unlocked and rooted
1Download the ROM copy to phone
2 Extract Boot.IMG from the ROM
3 Boot my phone into boot loader
4 Connect to PC and in fastboot (phone shows fastbootusb) fast boot flash boot boot.img
5 Still in fastboot fastboot erase cache
5 Boot into recovery (connected to PC or not?) Full wipe then install the ROM followed by installing the updates through recovery
Thanks again

6 Boot into recovery (connected to PC or not?) Full wipe then install the ROM followed by installing the updates through recovery. connected or not you can flash the rom. don forget to wipe dalvik cache and wipe cache. you can update your rom OTA or if it doesnt show up you can just download the update ang flash it through recovery. no need to full wipe and flash the boot.img when flashing the update

So did you use twrp to flash the ROM or your PC? Is it possible to use twrp?
Dude ....you are bumping a thread from November last year ! What do you expect to hear ! A Rom is always flashed with a custom recovery and the boot.img file with the pc. Always have been like that

My 1+ 3 won´t boot recovery or system

hey guys,
i have a big problem.
i unlocked my one+ 3 2 weeks ago and installed twrp and cm13. all worked fine.
yesterday i read the news from cm the first devices will get offical cm14.
so i donwloaded the first rom and updated my phone (without a wipe!).
the cm14 starts good and all worked fine.
But, i find out, i can´t hear a phone call.
so, i want to go back to the twrp to restore my backup of cm13.
the problems begins....
i can´t boot twrp. i see the bootloader screen and after switching the screen to recovery (normaly) i got a black screen (seems like to shut off the screen).
then i tried to reinstall it, nothing.
after a full evening of trying i wiped it (factory reset) from android 7.
after the reboot i got the same problem. -> black screen after bootscreen Android won´t start, recovery won´t start.
then i downloaded a toolbox and installed the stock recovery -> no change -> black screen.
then i tried to find a stock image als *.img format to flash it with all (kernel and recovery, etc) with fastboot, but i didn´t find an image.
my last try was to make a full wipe with "fastboot -w". but this won´t work too.
so, now my phone will only boot into fastboot and thats it.
i need urgend help.
can anyone tell me what i can do? how can i install any os and wipe via fastboot and with no recovery?
thx a lot for your help.

Lots off people are getting this problem and trust me for some reason people post steps to fix this that are complicated for people who are just getting to playing around with TWRP.
Look, download the original TWRP recovery from here, https://dl.twrp.me/oneplus3/ the one you need is the 3.0.2-1 . I used it and I got back to MC13 From MC14.1 which by the way is now working pretty good. Once you fastboot flash recovery .this 3.0.2-1 recovery you can actually use it with MC14.1 as am doing right now. In any case. flash recovery >factory reset > adb your MC13 Zip to the phone > reboot...
Remember All Of This Steps Are Always Taken At Your Own Risk !!

Thanks for your reply.
to flash only the new recovery will not help.
tomorrow i will try to flash, wipe (with "fastboot -w" and copy the zip file.
Will the copy install the cm13 version? or do u mean sideload to have the cm13 zip for the twrp to flash?
Try to flash the modified twrp. Check the official topic for cm 14, it is linked over there

@superiscch just provided you with the TWRP that works. This is what i did !
Flash the recovery provided on the link >boot to the new recovery, you well see the version at the top left corner as 3.0.2-1 > factory reset > adb sideload the MC 13 ....... Reboot system > than add your choice of google apps to the sdcard root > reboot to recovery > flash google apps from with recovery than reboot, you would be golden. After, if your interested just flash the TWRP from the original twrp team. Cuss the one you just installed is modified, it be your choice !!

Hey guys,
thx for your replay. i will try it after work.
but i have one question ... what do u mean exactly with " adb your MC13 Zip"?
do u mean to transfer the zip to install with twrp or is there a command to install the zip to the systempartition?

Okay... Look, once you have flash the modified recovery and you reboot. You be able to boot to your OS. Than you have to simple options 1. Load the CM13 ZIP file to your sdcard which you can use for installing with recovery
2. Boot into recovery and side load the MC 13 ZIP file into your phone using adb...sideload would be using adb
ADB... adb sideload <name of file> without the brackets...
Good luck man

Honor 7X Oreo Stock Recovery

Hi, I manually updated my honor 7x (BND AL10 INDIAN) to EMUI 8 following the other post in this forum and after that I went on to flash TWRP recovery again from another post "complete_twrp_ramdisk.img" so that I could take full Nand backups and what not. But Here's the problem, When I try to flash the stock recovery back "BND_RECOVERY_NOcheck" which I flashed during upgrading to EMUI 8, it says "size of image is large than target device"
I tried this using boot fastboot command "fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery.img" and also using the TWRP. It doesn't work either way. So I'm basically stuck with TWRP. The reason I want stock recovery is because
1. I can install OTA UPDATES on EMUI 8 (I actually got one)
2. I may want to just be on complete stock like locked bootloader, sock recovery etc...
Could any one help?? Maybe I need the right stock recovery file ?
BTW It's my first post ever so please go easy if I did any mistakes.
Could you share your twrp? Thanks!

"BND_RECOVERY_NOcheck" is nouget stock recovery.
Oreo update replaces all the partitions, including the recovery that you flashed in order to install the update.
The stock recovery can be extracted from "update.app" , the one inside the oreo "updateL22.zip"

Hi, I'm downloading that UPDATEL22.ZIP right now and Can I extract this with any unzip/unrar program? What will be the name of that recovery? is it going to be "recovery"? The thing is I've never extracted anything from a ROM so I have not idea.

you should already have the update.zip.
use same one you "manualy" installed.
winrar did not work for me but 7-zip did.
there is also rom extractor built into "multi-tool" and stand alone extractor around here some where.
I found it here
the name is just like the twrp you flashed and just like the partition that you flashed. (recovery_ramdisk.img)

Hi, Thanks for all your replies.

I dont know.
The new way to boot to recovery was written in other thread as "hold both volume buttons & power button"
not sure if it was a problem with extraction or not, but attached is the recovery I extracted. do not have it installed. I dont even have oreo installed., I'm still pulling files together and reading the update-scripts and trying to convince myself if it is worth trying it.
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=262391
I have now jumped on board and did oreo conversion on L24, then flashed RR. I went and installed the oreo recovery, then back to this stock recovery. It worked fine for me.

Hey bro thefe are too many files there will it flash through fastboot or twrp and how to flash one by one pls help me
Hello all,
thanks for all the info in this thread.
I bricked my Honox 7x (BND-LC21) by trying to go Oreo.
The installation went halfway through, but now I can't complete (missing info howto flash bootloader / kernel) and I also can't go back as the partition layout has already changed to oreo style.
Steps done so far:
- unlocked boot loader
- installed twrp
- extract system image and recovery image from oreo update zip
getting the phone in fastboot mode i can successfully run
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery_ramdisk.img (i can also flash old recoveries this way, but none of them will successfully boot into recovery mode)
fastboot flash system system.img
either way, the system will not boot afterwards.
how do I manually flash bootloader / kernel on the oreo partition layout?
erecovery and hisuite won't recover my phone either...
Any hints appreciated

Can I flash just the stock recovery to my phone and if so is it the recover_ramdis.img, or do I need to flash them all. I'm on mostly stock bnd-l24. Unlocked bootloader TWRP and magisk for root. There's a new update and i wanted to flash stock recovery so I could update.

Can't flash twrp on note 5 AI MIUI Global 9.5 | Stable 9.5.5.0(OEIMIFA)

I was buy this phone a few days ago with ubl already. I think that was great because i don't need to unlock the bootloader by myself. Since this my first xiaomi phone, unlocking the bootloader may gave me headache. But when i tried to flash twrp, i face a problem that adb said "FAILED (remote: Requested download size is more than max allowed)". At the same time, in fastboot screen shown "press anykey to shutdown". Is somebody here know what must i do? I was spend at least six days looking for solution on internet.. but, still no luck. Hope someone here will help. Any suggestions will so appreciated.

Get this zip : https://files.orangefox.website/OrangeFox-Stable/whyred/
Extract it.. find recovery.img and put it in your fastboot folder, run 'fastboot boot recovery.img'.. now, after going to recovery the device will show up as storage in Windows, and put the orange fox zip in internel memory and flash it with booted recovery....

Thanks.. Downloading file right now. I thought i've done that before with older version of OrangeFox without luck. Have try with Official TWRP and RedWolf too with same result. But, will try with latest version like you said :highfive:

Same as before.. fail either. What should i gonna do now?
Actually, my phone already had twrp installed with custom rom too after 2 weeks use time. I can't find solution for my problem so i do unusually step (or you can say frustrating step). Do test point things and flash rom like usual. But, before i replace stock recovery with twrp and rename it like stock one. After that, just start flashing and when it finish, boot to recovery directly and flash magisk plus no verity. Then i got twrp and root.. But, still can't flash anything from fastboot, even flashing with miflash. Just curious what exactly the problem is. I know can repeat the same step just in case i got problem to boot and somehow can't boot to twrp too. But, you know.. that takes lot of time to do
I don't know if ur problem is solved by now, i think you should flash latest dev firmware, that might be the key, have you ever done that after the problem? You should use twrp to do that tho.. and pls take note, every firmware is not supported by everry recovery, but i trust orange fox, and don't try to downgrade firmware too, check always if the cutom rom support the firmware you gonna flash and also check ARB value...
Edit: what does this mean
replace stock recovery with twrp and rename it like stock one

No OS Installed accidentally wipe system of xiaomi mi a2 lite

Hello Good day everyone, please help this idiot who just bricked his phone for no reason at all:crying:
I accidentally wipe my system or should i say im just flat out an idiot for wiping everything without any backup. i have installed twrp and i unlock the bootloader already because i wanted to install miui in my mi a2 lite phone but ended up wiping everything and now im stuck in twrp mode. i still can do fastboot and open my phone in twrp mode but thats all NO OS. How can i save my phone back to normal. please help me. THANK YOU ALL!!!
If you can get to fastboot, use the stock rom flash script. See the stock rom thread in the guides forum.
If you've got windows, miflash may be easier to use. I think it takes the same stock rom file.

Just make sure you download a fastboot rom which has all partitions.
When I wanted to remove all traces of root from my phone last week, i noticed that many of the more recent images only have /system or just a few partitions.
I ended up installing one of the earliest Pie images (V10.0.2.0.PDLMIFJ if i recall correctly) and then doing all the OTA's until I was at V11.0.9.0.QDLMIXM or something.
Fix

It happened to me like a week ago and i was able to fix it just yesterday. cuz i am new at this root stuff. But i was able to do it at th e end. You need to install stock rom, miflash. Also download flashable stock rom. Because i installed like 5 stock roms. But they were not flashable so it did not work. Extract the stock rom that you downloaded. Then open miflash. Now go into fastboot mode and plug your phone to your pc. Now locate the folder where flashable files are and then click flash. It should say Success. If not that means it did not work.But it should work so yeah. That is it.
