I am not responsible for anything done wrong for you and your device. Sorry!!
You have two options to follow, the 1st one is long, may be difficult to follow. I recommend you to read option 1 and 2 both but to follow option 2
OPTION 1
Hello friend this is a short tutorial for those who have just bought the Beast Red Mi Note 3.
This guide is only for Redmi Note 3(Qualcomm Snapdragon 650 2GB/3GB version) users.
The Device's codename is kenzo. It also called Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro. On MIUI sites Its also mentioned as HMNote3Pro so don't get confused.
The below mentioned MiFlash-Tool is required in emergency. Installing Mi-FlashTool in PC also install all the Quallcomm and Xiaomi Drivers to make your device function with PC at any mode( recovery, fastboot or system mode) Make sure before installing MiFlash-beta setup, You have disabled Driver Signature Enforcement in your Windows PC. To know how to disable check on Microsoft sites for your particular OS.
Requirements
1. A PC with windows 7,8,8.1 or 10 32-bit or 64-bit with .NET Framework version 3.5 installed. Before you install Mi Flash. To download .NET framwork visit the microsoft website.
2.Download Xiaomi MiFlash-Beta(This beta version works good and also support 32-bit Windows OS) http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=at...2NGJkfDE0ODE4MTQxMTh8MTU5MjAzMDUwMXwyODE5Nzk=
3.TWRP Recoveries- download all these 3 recoveries
a. Alka TWRP http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=at...xMmZifDE0ODE4MTY5NzZ8MTU5MjAzMDUwMXwyODI3NzM= (for emergency backup and restore) (this recovery is most necessary to backup all the partition of our device. RN3 comes with all about 40 partitions, and their are many important files stored their. So at anytime you get any problem just restore. The recovery image file is compressed in a .zip file. Therefore, you may need to firstly extract it using Winzip on your PC or extract it using ES File Explorer on your phone. One more thing, this build is for Redmi Note 3 Qualcomm Snapdragon (Kenzo).
b. Cofface TWRP https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5bSNUUrjm6JQjFhUEkzZXZ2bkk (zip password www.cofface.com)
c. Official TWRP https://dl.twrp.me/kenzo
If you want to flash custom Rom like Cyanogenmod, xiaomi.eu, Resurrection Remix etc. This tutorial will help you to use all those thing which can be done on our Beast .
:angel: first of all you guys get the Bootloader unlocking permission from en.miui.com/unlock/ (recommended) and always sign in the Mi Account with valid mobile number and e-mail which is used by you currently and can be accessed by you anytime. Goto setting in the phone and register for Mi account and login. Enable Find Device feature.
i have not checked ZC-X TWRP RECOVERY because i have seen some people getting problem from zcx, but now it is upgraded. So it can be universal for everything( like flashing any official/stock/custom rom(as cofface and official do), maybe it supports all partition backup( like alka do) and also it can be used to update or upgrade you MIUI based rom. Check it at your own risk.
3.USB DATA cable (the one that came with your device).
4. device battery charged at least 50%.
5. A good observer and patient most of patient.
I don't think about any other way to unlock bootloader. You can find them on other places but I don't find them easy than this.
So I am supposing that you guys using your phone with stock MIUI Rom that should be MIUI 7 or MIUI 8 with stock recovery and You got the permisssion official to unlock your beast .
So just unlock the bootloader by using MiUnlock tool from PC. Store all these tools in your PC for future process.
Now you have unlocked bootloader to check the status just boot your phone into fastboot mode by pressing volume down+power key when your device is off then use this fastboot command fastboot oem device-info to check the bootloader info if it says bootloader unlocked:true then you are ready to go. If you don't know how to setup adb-fastboot environment and driver check it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
Put unlocked bootloader phone in fastboot mode,connect device to PC using USB cable and check the bootloader status again to verify it is unlocked or not by using command fastboot oem device-info. Now copy(don't cut because you should have a backup plan for each process) all the recoveries ALKA TWRP, CoffaceTWRP and official TWRP recovery to the adb fastboot folder and rename alka twrp to alka.img,cofface twrp to cofface.img and official twrp to official.img. Please copy and rename one by one for don't getting confused. If you accidently rename cofface to alka then it will be not good to you after flashing. So take each step carefully.
(if you have managed environment variables on PC then you can use adb fastboot commands any where in PC, That is a good idea. So if you want to know how to set environment variables just comment here I will give you all the steps.)
Now just press continuously the Shift key and press RIGHT CLICK on the blank area of window.
An option menu will be showed click on open command prompt here.
A black backgrounded command shell will be opened.
Now type fastboot oem device-info and press enter key.
If it shows bootloader unlocked :true then proceed to the step 1 and if shows false then don't proceed unlock your bootloader which is shown above with this symbol :angel:.
Step 1:
A.First of all take backup of internal sd by copying all the folder and files in your PC's folder and name this folder to KenzoInternal you can use any name. And delete more files in internal to get atleast 5GB space.
B.You shuould have atleast 5GB space in your internel to back up your all device partition through ALKA TWRP.
C. copy all three recoverys(cofface.img,official.img and alka.img) in your phone's Internal SD directly or make a folder recovery and place there.
Now go,read and follow the instruction from below
Boot your phone in fastboot mode and connect with PC
open command prompt in adb-fastboot folder where you have copied all the recovery images(official.img,cofface.img and alka.img)
Type on command prompt:
fastboot flash recovery alka.img
it will be flased in atleast 10 seconds.
Now we have to go directly to recovery mode from fastboot mode not in system so care fully press volume up + power key at the same time in your REDMI NOTE 3 and when your device vibrate leave the power key but don't leave the volume up key until the recovery window get shown. If your device get booted to system not in recovery then maybe your flashed 'alka' will be replaced with stock recovery, and may be it get bootloop or maybe it will boot successfully but have some problems like Wi-Fi radio get disabled.
Read the above step again and do everything carefully.
Step 2:
[[ If on welcome screen the language shows in chinese or other, then simply swipe on first screen and touch on the 2nd column and 3rd row in menu and then touch on the icon(shows like earth or sphere) and choose English and then done. ]]
In recovery go to BACKUP and mark all the partition I said all the partitions (you can leave unmarked the DATA partition if you are not wanting to make backup of your own installed applications and their data. It will decrease the backup size and also the TIME) their may be 35+ partitions. And swipe to backup. Their are some partitions like system,efs(stores modem and radio and may be your IMEI information) etc have the sensitive data. So you are mostly recommended to mark all the partition except DATA(optional).
GREAT!!! wait until getting backup.
Step 3:
Now touch on Install menu in recovery and touch on Install Image that is always in the right below of the screen upto the swipe handle.
Now browse to the root of internal sd or the folder where you have copied all the recovery images(cofface.img,alka.img and official.img). And choose the cofface.img and swipe to install.
Now get back by touching on back arrow symbol on left bottom.
Step 4:
Touch on REBOOT menu in recovery and then touch on Reboot to recovery or to recovery.
Your RN3 will reboot again to recovery(which is now cofface).
[[ If on welcome the language shows in chinese or other then simply swipe on first screen and touch on the 2nd column and 3rd row in menu and then touch on the icon(shows like earth or sphere) and choose english and then done. ]]
Now touch on reboot and thenreboot to system.
If it shows that your recovery will be
If any query shows saying your phone is not rooted just touch on Do not Install
your phone will boot to MIUI system as it was. and it has a custom recovery(currently cofface).
if you want to root your device then download superSu.zip from https://download.chainfire.eu/921/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.65-20151226141550.zip and place it in your internal sd card of phone and then boot to recovery by pressing power key+volume up key on same time then go to install and choose to install for supersu_vx.xx.zip file and swipe to flash. Then get back and wipe cache and dalvik/ART cache or some times it also reboots automatically.
Kindly follow the on-screen instruction which shows on screen during installation.
NOTE: It may be bootloop or take too much time on first boot after installing superSu.
SuperSU app and all the applets(including busybox tools) also comes with superSU zip file. So no need to install it through PlayStore. However you can update from PlayStore.
You are strongly recommended to take the backup(whole partition backup taken by ALKA TWRP) and copy it to Your PC that is the life of your mobile. I know you can flash An official MIUI rom through PC using fastboot or EDL method but If you lost your EFS partition then You will lost your IMEI which is unique to each and every devices. In Qualcomm Snapdragon based phone It is hard to recover IMEI. I say hard not impossible. Their are many forum that give solution to this but It is highly recommended to have this backup copy to your PC. You can find your backup in the /sdcard/TWRP/Backup/ OR open Internal SD then go to TWRP folder then open BACKUP and then a folder like 5exxxye. just copy this folder to your PC and keep it safe or you can save it to other places also that will be more good and also show your smartness.
How to install custom ROM or OSs in RN3Snapdragon?? Hmm come here
NOTE: Always flash all custom ROM(Except MIUI) through official TWRP. But when you have made your mood to install custom ROM you have to flash official twrp through either with TWRP(currently cofface in your device) or with fastboot command using same method that I have explained above when we have flashed coffaceTWRP in your device or use this commandfastboot flash recovery official.img
I have tested many ROMs but I found most stable Resuurection Remix(based on Marshmallow) and CyanogenMod 13(based on Marshmallow) yet. Everything is working fine except VoLTE. Their are many available ROms that supports VoLTE based on Nougat(Android 7.0 or 7.1) but have some bugs with camera. (The Cyanogenmod 14.1 officially is also declared but in experimental mode(nightly)(not recommended for you.))
I am going to show you the steps to flash custom ROMs without getting into any problem but you are recommended to follow each steps carefully. Thanks
Suppose you have downloaded official released Cyanogenmod 13 for your phone from here https://download.cyanogenmod.org/get/jenkins/174586/cm-13.0-20160816-SNAPSHOT-ZNH5YAO0FI-kenzo.zip (It is recommended to download it to your PC for backup plan). Having a copy of this backup in your PC makes you free to delete it from internal SD to free the space when you are in a Stable Rom or in a ROM you loved and want to be always with it.
then place it to your internal SD. now follow these steps... Check out your device battery is 50+ % charged.
Step 1:
Reboot to recovery. Go to install and choose install image. Now choose official.img(officialTWRP) and then swipe to flash/install it.
Step 2:
Now reboot again to recovery by choosing REBOOT in recovery menu and then RECOVERY
your phone will be rebooted to official TWRP recovery which is not supported by MIUI. I mean official recovery doesn't have the ability to patch the boot image., that is why I said it is not supported.
Step 3:
Now go to wipe/format menu in TWRP recovery(I am supposing you have the back up with alka twrp before and have copied it to your PC also.). Choose 'advanced wipe' and Mark these partition System,Data,Cache,Dalvik/ART cache. Do not choose Internal SD, Micro SD or USB OTG. and swipe to wipe.
Step 4:
After wiping now you have not any Operating System installed. Just touch INSTALL in RECOVERY MENU and choose the ROM ZIP file which is cm-13.0-20160816-SNAPSHOT-ZNH5YAO0FI-kenzo.zip (for example). Always use the ROM that is build for Your Device. Since above zip file's name shows it is for kenzo that is your RedmiNote3 Quallcomm Snapdragon.(just check the underlined word in zip file.)
and swipe to flash and wait no matter how much time it takes. Just wait don't try to reboot.
if you want to flash google apps(GApps) like play store and play store services you have to install it also after flashing the ROM zip file. to download GoogleApps go to opengapps.org and choose arm64 from architecture menu and choose android version for this ROM(Cyanogenmod 13) choose 6.0. choose which package you want I recommend you to use pico it will only install play store and services and you can also install other google apps through Play Store later.
If you want all google apps then choose 'aroma' it has a built-in file explorer to choose particular app in recovery.
Step 5:
After installing cyanogenmod and GApps wipe cache and Dalvik/ART cache again. Do not wipe anything else.
Now its time to reboot to the system.
first time it will take atleast 2 to 10 mins (depends on the open GApps package type) for optimization of apps.
After that go and enjoy..
Any problem comment below.
To revert back to MIUI again.
just copy the backup folder you have taken before, to the folder /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUP/ and reboot to recovery(currently official).
and choose to install image in recovery menu and then choose alka.img and then reboot to recovery again(using recovery menu).
You will again reboot to recovery (currently ALKA).
In alka recovery menu choose to WIPE and wipe these partition SYSTEM,DATA,CACHE,DALVIK/ART CACHE.
then choose RESTORE from recovery menu and select your backup folder and it will show the list of all the partition you have made backup. Mark all and swipe to restore.
Note:sometimes it shows an error during restore that it can't restore firmware partition. If it show this error kindly choose to restore again and mark all partition except firmware partition then swipe to restore.
After restoring backup(MIUI) do not reboot just. choose to install image and install cofface.img again because this recovery works with MIUI.(Cofface twrp paches boot image automatically which is required to make custom recoveries to work with MIUI ROMs ) after installing cofface.img. Reboot to recovery again and then reboot to system.
Now wait if it takes too much time (may be 15 to 20 mins).
Now you are come back to your MIUI ROM.
MUST READ:
1.Always check your bootloader status after and before flashing any ROMs(boot to fastboot mode connect USB to PC and type the command in command window fastboot oem device-info.
2.If any time it shows bootloader unlocked: false then use Mi Unlock tool to unlock the bootloader again. You have to use same user-name/mobile number/e-mail and password to sign-in the UnlockTool which you have sihned in your phone.
3.No matter how many ROM you have flashed or which OS you currently using. MiUnlock-tools always recognises your phone.
4. During unlocking the phone your PC must have an internet connection from other sources.
5.You can't use your phone's wi-fi hotspot to unlock its bootloader because it should be in fastboot mode.
6.Always make back up and store them in safe place.

OPTION 2
Now you can use zcx recovery which is Universal to flash custom/stock/miui ROM without any problem. So unlock your bootloader and flash ZC-X twrp recovery, and follow the instruction comes with it, you don't need to follow the long procedure given above. You should use it with Marshmallow based MIUI ROM too which comes with by default DATA partition encryption. It can automatically decrypt DATA partition. So go for it here https://www.google.co.in/url?sa=t&r...DwoAzQEtfzPxp4Shw&sig2=SOZcDMBpgO_teBIK6lNnhw
Thanks any problem comment below. Enjoy

This tut has been pretty clear but I have a typical doubt! If I unlock my phone using mi flash tool by using the miui7.1.8 fastboot rom and flash twrp and if I later how do I update my miui? If I would be able to update it in some way doesent the bootloader get locked again? If it gets locked and I need to downgrade to older miui version! Pls help!
If I use offical twrp and take my unrooted miui backup and flashed cm14.1 and then latter restore my unrooted miui i wouldn't work?

Seriously dude , zcx supports all partition backup like alka twrp+6.0 encryption problem is also solved ,inbuilt boot image patcher + miui ota support
This guide just made procedure to flash ROMs more hectic and uneasy and long process.
I Recommend user to just flash zcx twrp and do all the stuff you want,flash any roms including miui.

Then must use cofface because MIUI based custom rom like
Xiaomi.eu etc. Are also need boot image patching..but 1st
Take full nandroid backup through alka and copy it to pc
Before flashing it. After flashing MIUI based custom rom use
Check your bootloader status because some of them locks your Bootloader again..

1st of all the bootloader status(lock/unlock) get changed
From rom to rom. So everytime if you wanna flash something
Like any rom(official/stock/custom) or any recovery you need to check your bootloader status 1st. I have told in post that if u wanna flash Miui rom or wanna update it,just flash through cofface recovery. And one thing to remember, never downgrade miui version through cofface (for example Miui8 to miui7). But if u want to upgrade(for ex. Miui7 to miui8) or want to update(ex.- miui 8.0.1 to miui 8.1.1 or something like this) then you can use cofface twrp recovery and also zcx twrp recovery. Before flashing make sure you have full backup through alka twrp. You should read the post again.

It will work if your miui backup from official twrp contains backup of firmware partition. Since official twrp doesn't supports all partition backup. So you need to flash a miui based fastboot rom then unlock bootloader again if it get locked and then flash alka to take all partition backup then save this backup to pc. And after that check the post again for what you want.

you are right but zcx doesn't support all about 40 partitions. Maybe it comes with all features that we get in all other twrp recoveries like cofface,alka etc. but for whole partitions backup alka is necessary.
But it is true that ZCX supports important partitions that are more important while ALKA twrp supports whole with important and not important
This post is not so long or uneasy. It is for noobies to understand. This is not for PROs. Thank you!

okk bro I am wrong. I am also using it and thanks for the info. I will add it in the tutorial. Thanks
No problem bro, i know you have made guide for new comers( i wont call them noobies) & it's a good one.
But i am just in favor of "if we can do things on easiest way,no need to choose harder ones"
I will try to suggest if some steps need to be included and what other things which we can short doing the flashing procedures.

hi
I have a Nexus One on Official 2.3.4 update and i'm trying to root the phone, i'm having a hard time with the recovery image, I really like to know what i should do next.
1. read lots tutorials
2. Installed Android SDK and USB Driver for ADB thingy
3. downloaded and put fastboot in platform-tool and successfully unlocked bootloader
4. cannot get recovery to work, intended to install clockworkmod and RA one both give me the ! logo when i intend to boot in it
Questions
1. Should i downgrade first and then do this, if so, how does it work (if someone have a link to step by step tutorial)
2. Other methods
thanks a million
How are you trying to install recovery, and what errors/results are you seeing? Should be:
fastboot flash recovery name-of-recovery.img
How are you booting into recovery (if you reboot the phone, you will lose recovery)? Should be:
fastboot boot name-of-recovery.img
No need to downgrade. An unlocked bootloader is all you'll ever need...

i install recovery that way yes, but i didn't boot that way, thanks i will try right now, will report back
EDIT - that works thanks so much, now i'm gonna attempt to root.
now i encounter another issue
so far i been following this guild http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=636795
and i cannot reboot to recovery after vol down+power menu.
do i just enter recovery with fastboot boot command and go from there?
what would be a better guild from this point on?
Place these two files on your sd card:
su zip: http://db.tt/BJudP0L
fix recovery zip: http://db.tt/ooDaCnU
Boot into recovery from the fastboot command, choose the flash zip from sd option, and flash the two files (one at a time). Done!
awesome, i had them installed. what's su and why is it recovery fix, if u don't mind can u explain these 2 files a little bit?
and what's next, do i just put the rom i'm flashing in the SD Card root and use recovery mode to install the zip?
going to use Cyanogen 7 for nexus one (update-cm-7.0.3-N1-signed.zip)
and also, what is this Google Add-on i read from the tutorial?

su is short for superuser.. its basically using the root user account..
btw 7.1 RC is out if youre interested.. also take a look at the nightly releases
If you're going to install a custom rom like cm7 you do not have bother with the su part.
Put cm rom on the sd ( can be anywhere you just navigate to it) and the google addons (those or the gapps like the market etc.)
Flash custom recovery
Boot directly into the recovery (if you boot the os it overwrites the new recovery with the stock one)
Flash cm7
flash gapps.
reboot into cm7...
Your custom recovery will now stay there until you either flash a different one. Or flash a stock rom.

great, now u said flash cm7 do u mean "install zip file" but pick the cm7 file?
also, google add on, where should i acquire it?
also, for nightly release of cm (cm7.1 rc) for nexus one i should download the one called "passion" is that correcT?
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=nightly
Also forgot to mention to do a wipe before you flash. That is also done in recovery.
gapps http://goo-inside.me/gapps/gapps-gb-20110613-signed.zip That is
In recovery you pick install zip file. You then browse to your cm7 rom.zip or any rom for the matter and install. Do the same for the gapps. Do the same for any other flashable zip like kernals etc.
Yes. Nightly/stable/RC's all have to passion (nexus 1)
Also for future reference post ?s in the Q and A section. A mod will probably move it there or delete this thread.

Great!
i will keep that in mind for sure.
Update: Method Works now i know how to flash and root nexus one, awesome guys thanks a million.
Conclusion and Steps I did (probably helpful to many people like me research tons different tutorials)
1. Download Android SDK and install it,
2. Find "Nexus One USB Driver" download and install it, now install bootloader (follow guide here, but only do up to the boot loader part http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=636795)
3. Find "fastboot" download and extract it to Android SDK installation folder (one called Platform-tools)
4. download a recovery img, i got clockwork 3.0.0.5.
5. download the su (super user) (i dunno if this is necessary but i did it anyway, links are in previous replies) and copy the zip file to ur sd card.
6. download the custom rom u want to use and copy to sd card as well (i use cyanogenmod 7.1 rc here)
7. download the google addon and copy the zip to the sd card as well (link provided in previous replies)
8. go to start and type cmd to load up command prompt in windows (i use windows 7)
9. get to c:\program files (x86)\android\android-sdk\platform-tools\ (i use windows 7 64bit, if it's 32bit system, no need for (x86))
10. hold trackball + power to enter bootloader and fastboot usb enable (should be automatic)
11. type fastboot flash recovery [recovery name.img] (in Windows Command Prompt)
12. type fastboot boot [recovery name.img] (in windows command prompt)
13. do a backup first, then wipe all data and cache, and then navigate to "install zip" and install su, recovery fix, custom rom, google addon, one by one b4 restart
14. after all done, restart, and that's it.
it works for me. but of course, i'm pretty noob, you are still taking ur own risk if u follow my experience..
Step 5 (recovery fix) is only necessary if you are sticking with a stock ROM. All it does is delete the two files that restore the stock recovery. These two files are only in the stock ROM, which is why you don't need to do this if you install a custom ROM...
Also, as started earlier, you can also skip the su zip if you plan on installing a custom ROM...
Hi, I rently bought a Galaxy S7 Edge and i wanted to install the SUPERMAN custom ROM so :
I followed the tutorial to root the phone => ok
the tutorial to install TWRP => OK
Then the tutorial to install the ROM, and thats when the problems started to appear.
When I tried backing up before the installation in TWRP, I had a couple of error message like "unable to mount data". As the phone was new, I did not have any personnal data on it I thought "Backup is not necessary (grave error?)
so I skiped and went directly to ROM installation (the ROM was on an external microSD card) => installation OK
BUT I forgot to wipe Dalvik cache before rebooting, and as i understand it, it can cause a bootloop, it apparently did!
Here, as it was late, I started to lose my cool, so I am not entirely sure about the sequence of what I have done, but I am trying my best to be precise so that you can find a way to help me.
- I went back to TWRP, I tried to wipe dalvik cache and other types of wipe, but had the same error "unable to mount data" on every try.
-I googled a little bit and found a video tutorial ecplaining that I need to wipe => advanced wipe => tick system => change file system => then choose a type (i chose exFat) => It went on for 10-15 minutes without any sign of evolution so I reached the peak of my stupidity (really lost my cool), and forced reboot (not sure if I used volume UP or DOWN
-I dont think I did anything else after this, when I tried going into TWRP, I got stuck on the TWRP presentation page
The phone starts normally in download mode (am I saved?)
But it does not completely start in TWRP mode, it gets stuck on the presentation page (where there is the name of the team and the version number)
I tried installation other versions of TWRP with Odin but I still get stuck on the presentation page, although the version number changes adequatly to the version installed.
Please help me! :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
thank you.
Good news, is yes you can restore your device. Download your stock rom , unzip and flash in odin.
The is a dedicated thread on XDA for TWRP, in the steps the is a no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip which you should download.
Once you reach twrp again you should swipe to allow mod, then click on wipe, format data and type in yes when prompted.
After which flash the zip mentioned above. Now you will have access to the system in twrp, and flash whatever rom you like.
trust this helps

It worked thanks a lot man!
Now, onto the next step, I guess the tutorial I followed initialy was not good enought. So where can I get this "no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip", and how should I install it exactly? Unless I missed something, it is not explained in the xda tutorial
http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/development/rom-s7-edge-rom-v1-1-t3356699

I Followed the instructions of your link, then I followed the instructions of the tutorial to install SuperMan ROM bug at the last reboot (after installation) I got stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy Edge 7" screen, the starting screen...
Hope I can install this ROM, I dont want to go back to stock.
Have you updated the modem and bootloader as dev instructed?
First initial boot will take time , remember you wiped everything but you Internal storage and SD card.
"9. Reboot and wait around 10 minute's (deodexed roms need longer to boot the first time)
10. Don't interrupt the process of booting the phone, even when it restarts"
How long did you leave it on the Samsung S7 Edge screen?

Yes I followed the instructions and downloaded the too exact files he said, flashed it with odin
I wiped everything (even internal storage) but micro sd card
I left it more than 30 minutes.
One thing I did I'm not sure about, during root, I followed the tutorial (the link you gave me) to root and install twrp, during this step, I flashed both superSU and dm verity... step 11 ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/development/recovery-official-twrp-hero2lte-3-0-0-0-t3334084 ) Is that ok?
My method, that works for me is as follows :
Flash my stock firmware via odin.
Boot up, select OEM and USB debugging on.
Flash latest TWRP in odin.
Boot up phone, then switch off and enter recovery.
In recovery page i swipe to allow mod, select wipe /format data and type in yes when prompted.
Then , flash the no-verity zip.
I then boot up the phone normally and let it settle for about five min, switch off and get back into TWRP.
Now there shouldn't be any red error msg's in TWRP of cant mount. ( That is important ) otherwise rom wont flash properly.
After which i will flash a rom, most custom stock roms already have SU.

Exactly what I did except for the SU part that i mentionned. i asked on another Forum, they said there might be a problem with the zip I used. So i'm gonna try downloading a new zip for this ROM, but i can't find any alternative links...
I redownloaded the zip from the link in the tutorial, it worked!! thanks for your help!
Hi Friends this is my first post regarding rooting...
i just tried out a old method said by the senior member shuckeru
i basically followed all the same producer from the below thread only the ROM was MIUI 9 Beta
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-max/how-to/guide-installing-miui-v8-2-1-twrp-root-t3573550
you will need all the same files as mentioned in the thread, the only change which i have did is i have updated the TWRP recovery.img
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-Fpr-jO4CnobnBCNjdlRjhrUjA
Extract the rar and flash with MI flasher
Press Vol + and power and boot to TWRP Recovery
mount /system
delete /system/recovery-from-boot.p (or similar) ( if you are not able to view, reboot to recovery again and repeat the same step)
after deleting mount MTP and copy by downloading the 2 files below
"universal boot.img patcher.zip" from this thread.
latest SuperSU recovery flashable zip.
Flash both the file
Clear the cache
you may reboot now.
I did all the above procedure and i did not loose any of my files, so try it and post your comments
I have a locked boot loader helium install custom ROM no issue so far but when I try to install xiaomi EU miui 9(latest ROM) using Nigel twrp by formatting data, mi logo appear and soft brick, the universal boot patcher can't patch the ROM some error came out.Is it because I did not mount system?I also did the same procedure on my hydrogen but have no issue installing miui 9 with lock boot loader only on helium this occur.Forgot to add I deleted the emcc file from the EU ROM too did u do that?

Hi All,
Im pretty close now to throwing Nexus 6p into the wall. Im honestly desperate now.. Few weeks ago replaced battery and usb dock.. and now Im infected by malware which I cannot even remove. Trying different methods for a week now.
Ads pop up (saying Im won something most of the times) in chrome after factory reset without any apps installed, before I even log in to google or anywhere. Same happens on different wifi networks and 3g.
What I tried up to now:
1. Factory reseting through android,
2. Factory reseting and clearing system cache through bootloader
3. Flashing new image from https://developers.google.com/android/images. Im not very familiar with this so had few issues: during procedure "flash-all.sh" - it did not work - nothing happend after trying to run it. So I did (or at least tried) to use this tutorial https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t3252931 - Method no. 2. Managed to do almost everything apart these lines "fastboot flash userdata C:/images/userdata.img" and "fastboot flash cache C:/images/cache.img" because they are simply not in the zip file of image I got from google.
After all this, phone restarted fine, but still came up with ads as soon as I open any few pages in chrome.
Could you please help me this this to guide through what to do? I spent ages on google trying to find exact solution but some are old, some I dont get, some without clear instructions what to do...
Appreciate your time guys,
On one post I found that sequence what needs to be installed should be:
"fastboot flash bootloader C:\angler\images\bootloader-angler-angler-xx.xx.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio C:\angler\images\radio-angler-angler-xx.xx.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash boot C:\angler\images\boot.img
fastboot erase cache
(above command is unnecessary on Android 7.1.2 and above)
fastboot flash cache C:\angler\images\cache.img
(above command is unnecessary on Android 7.1.2 and above)
fastboot flash recovery C:\angler\images\recovery.img
fastboot flash system C:\angler\images\system.img
fastboot flash vendor C:\angler\images\vendor.img
On 7.1.2 and above you'll also need to boot into TWRP recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache. "
What does last line mean? What is TWRP recovery, dalvik cache?

What you need to do is backup all your downloads , music, pictures and anything you've saved in the internal memory. Then go to wipe in twrp and select everything inc internal. That is where it's probably hiding and factory reset won't erase your storage only with internal wipe. But remember you will loose everything so do a manual backup onto desktop or thumb drive. Then you can go flash whatever you please. I'm on the latest 8.1 April and it's working flawlessly. You don't have to wipe davlick and cache after factory flash just good practice to avoid any hiccups like hanging on first boot.

Is there a easier way to just to wipe all the internal data?
Can someone please just give quick sequence what after what needs to be done? Taking into account I got stock non rooted android 8.1. (I dont give a .. about photos and videos, whats the simplest way to make phone functioning as it supposed to again)

I suppose you can use fastboot command "fastboot format userdata". I'm not sure if it would effect your current install but shouldn't.

My opinion/idea/fix:
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Backup your recovery stock thing (Using Nexus Toolkit, google it)
2. Flash Custom Recovery (TWRP recovery zip, using adb)
3. Boot to Recovery (TWRP)
4. Wipe everything EXCEPT bootloader and recovery
5. Flash the 2nd step backed up recovery.img using TWRP recovery, to recovery partition.
.....
Procced with the stock steps you followed earlier and failed.
Not sure if I am clear.
Also not sure if you know how to do the steps.
I can help you try the solution I described tho, let me know!

Hi, Thank you for responding!
Before you posted your message thats what I did:
1. Replaced/reflashed recovery.img with twrp
2. Inside TWRP (opened trough bootloader holding power + down...) in advanced wipe options, wiped everything possible
3. Rebooted into bootloader and using ./fastboot commands flashed bootloader, radio, boot, recovery, system, vendor with stock image
4. Replaced/reflashed recovery.img with twrp again
5. Wiped cache and dalvik cache
Still the same problem..
What I can understand I pretty much did what you suggested, correct? I dont have access to Windows pc untill Monday so cannot use Nexus Toolkit. But thanks for recomending it! I'll look into it

Not in the mood, I have soo long time to flash OTA full or updates .zip(s) anyway, really.
I can give you a solution tho, preety good to go with.
1. Choose between those 2 -stock enough- custom roms:
(MY PERSONAL PREFERENCE)
--- Pure Nexus 7.1.1 (Older Android - Faster - Solid AF)
--- SuperXE 8.1.0 (Latest Android - Slower and maaaybe a little worst battery life - Still Solid, I am using it atm as main ROM)
----
Let me know If I should keep writing, so we can try from zero the attempt I previously mentioned (wiping and reflashing).
In my opinion if you follow the steps I am about to write you SHOULD not believe in your eyes if you still see the virus, or consider that the malware is actually something else, somewhere else and not in your smartphone's ROM or Storage.
(If you wanna go for it, start downloading the ROM files you choosen, it will save you/us time, find them here on XDA Nexus 6P section)
(I will edit this post)
----
2. Follow the steps @Cile381 gives on SuperXE thread, if you have any questions I will respond/help instantly, just use @Pipiou211 so I will receive the notification.
BE VERY VERY VERY CAREFUL with your bootloader, radio and recovery sections, if you leave one of them empty, flash wrong .zip/.img or unplug your smartphone while flashing you will HARDBRICK your device.
Especialy Bootloader.
Update them to be ready for Oreo Android and move to next steps (vendor and rom).

Yes, If you just have time I would be very interested to go through your method! I'm downloading SuperXE 8.1.0 as we speak, but speed is not very consistant from the server (says it could take between 20min and 4 hours to download..) But please guide me through the process if you can. Thank you!

Quick few question I got:
According to SuperXE instructions I need to:
- Reboot to recovery (Question 1: by recovery it means twrp? do I need to root my phone to do this or just simply replace recovery with twrp using "fastboot flash..." commend like I did before?
- Take necessary backups
- Wipe system/data/cache
- Flash the appropriate vendor.img
- Flash Rom.zip
- Reboot to system
Question 2: Would these be correct - more detailed instructions how to install "Zip" not "IMG" ?
7. How To Install A ROM with TWRP Recovery
Prerequisites: unlocked bootloader (section 1), TWRP recovery (section 2).
Installing a ROM is a pretty straight forward and easy process. Before you install anything you should make a nandroid backup (instructions above).
Download a ROM and appropriate Gapps package and place on your device. You'll also need to find out what build your ROM is based on and download the vendor image for that build, you'll find the latest in my index here.
Boot into your custom recovery.
Perform a full wipe.
Select the wipe option from the TWRP home screen.
Select advanced wipe.
Check the system, data, cache, and dalvik cache options.
Swipe to wipe.
Install the ROM.
Select the install option from the TWRP home screen.
Navigate to where you have the ROM zip stored on your internal storage and select it. You can hit the "add more zips" button now to queue up your gapps package to be flashed after the ROM zip.
Swipe to install.
Most ROMs will run an installer script at this point but some ROMs have what is called an Aroma Installer which allow you to choose some install options before the script runs.
Hit the home button once everything has finished installing.
Install the appropriate vendor image.
Select the install option from the TWRP home screen.
Click the "install image" button in the bottom-right corner.
Navigate to where you have the vendor image stored on your internal storage and select it.
You'll now be asked which partition to flash the image to, select vendor.
Swipe to install.
Once you've installed all necessary zips/images you'll have an option to wipe cache/dalvik and an option to reboot system, hit the reboot system button and you'll boot into your new ROM.
If Yes, Question 3: What is Gapps? Do I need it?
Found answer myself for this: Realised that it was shortening for Google apps. As I understand I need ARM64-8.1 android-stock. Correct?
Thanks

Quick few question I got:
According to SuperXE instructions I need to:
- Reboot to recovery (Question 1: by recovery it means twrp? do I need to root my phone to do this or just simply replace recovery with twrp using "fastboot flash..." commend like I did before?
- Take necessary backups
- Wipe system/data/cache
- Flash the appropriate vendor.img
- Flash Rom.zip
- Reboot to system
Question 2: Would these be correct - more detailed instructions how to install "Zip" not "IMG" ?
7. How To Install A ROM with TWRP Recovery
Prerequisites: unlocked bootloader (section 1), TWRP recovery (section 2).
Installing a ROM is a pretty straight forward and easy process. Before you install anything you should make a nandroid backup (instructions above).
Download a ROM and appropriate Gapps package and place on your device. You'll also need to find out what build your ROM is based on and download the vendor image for that build, you'll find the latest in my index here.
Boot into your custom recovery.
Perform a full wipe.
Select the wipe option from the TWRP home screen.
Select advanced wipe.
Check the system, data, cache, and dalvik cache options.
Swipe to wipe.
Install the ROM.
Select the install option from the TWRP home screen.
Navigate to where you have the ROM zip stored on your internal storage and select it. You can hit the "add more zips" button now to queue up your gapps package to be flashed after the ROM zip.
Swipe to install.
Most ROMs will run an installer script at this point but some ROMs have what is called an Aroma Installer which allow you to choose some install options before the script runs.
Hit the home button once everything has finished installing.
Install the appropriate vendor image.
Select the install option from the TWRP home screen.
Click the "install image" button in the bottom-right corner.
Navigate to where you have the vendor image stored on your internal storage and select it.
You'll now be asked which partition to flash the image to, select vendor.
Swipe to install.
Once you've installed all necessary zips/images you'll have an option to wipe cache/dalvik and an option to reboot system, hit the reboot system button and you'll boot into your new ROM.
If Yes, Question 3: What is Gapps? Do I need it?

1. (YES to Question 1)
Flash TWRP (latest) to recovery partition.
2. PowerButton+VolumeUp and access TWRP.
3. Flash bootloader (the one cile381 "tell you" to)
4. Flash vendor (the one cile381 tells)
5. Wipe>Advanced check everything except Bootloader, Vendor and Recovery (already installed TWRP in our case)
6. Flash SuperXE ROM (chill and have fun with the Aroma Installer guidance, if unsure leave everything unticked and just NEXT, NEXT, NEXT, NEXT!!)
7. Reboot and check for the malware, after first-time-setup (wifi google account and so on).
DO NOT restore application data from previous "phone".
(8. If we get softbrick) Flash latest radio.img, will tell you the way if we get softbricked, we probably dont need that.
---
(Response to Question 2.)
Step 3. and 4. are .img flashing.
Step 6. is .zip file flashing.
To flash .zip file just tap Flash in the TWRP and tap the 1.28GB .zip file.
To flash .img file(s) tap Flash, then a button like 'Image' or something, you will see it there are just two buttons, including 'Back', then tap the .img file and tap the partition you wanna flash/install it.
Am I clear? My english is not the best sorry about that.

@Pipiou211 All clear apart section 3:
3. Flash bootloader (the one cile381 "tell you" to)
In their page cile381 provides only ROM and Vendor. Where do I get bootloader from?
Hey I want to try pixel experience rom in my nexus 6p but the installation guide there is too complex can someone from the forums break it down and explain so I can install it and also my device is a 8core model so I am not sure weather or not I need a BLOD patch and why I need a custom recovery (other then the normal custom recovery) Thanks in advance
1.No need to flashing blod
2.remove any passwords or screen lock before flashing
3.boot into fastboot make sure bootloader is unlocked
4.flash the twrp recovery provided in the forum u can't use the usual one
5.after installing recovery wipe everything from the advance wipe except internal storage

It is quite simple. You'll just need to do a bit if reading about adb and fastboot and make sure you follow these steps methodically. You do not need BLOD patch. You need the custom recovery version from the pixelexperience thread because of the way files are encrypted.
1 . Go to settings - system - about phone. Tap on build number 7 times until you see a pop up saying developer options enabled.
2. Go to settings - system - advanced - developer options. In there you want to enable oem unlocking and usb debugging.
3. Go to settings - security. Remove all device security so it's just swipe to unlock.
4. Follow this guide to setup google drivers, adb, fastboot and unlock the bootlader https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928
5. Download latest rom version and twrp recovery version from pixelexperience thread to your pc and follow instruction in above guide for flashing twrp via fastboot.
6. Boot into your custom recovery (hold power + volume down while phone is off, use volume keys to select recovery, power for enter) ignore warning screen.
7. Go to backup. Select system, data and boot. Name it something like stock_todaysdate. Swipe to create backup. Reboot system.
8. Connect phone to pc. Through pc find twrp folder in phone, find your backup, copy to pc for safe keeping (this can restore your phone to how it was if anything goes wrong). Copy the rom zip you downloaded to your phone's internal storage.
9. Boot back into recovery. Go to wipe. Wipe everything except internal storage. Go to install. Locate the rom zip file and install it. Go to wipe again. Select format data and confirm.
10. Reboot system and wait for rom to boot this can take a while. Once booted leave your phone alone for a few minutes then you are good to go. If all is well make another backup and store on pc.

That is the best instructions I have seen in a while. I kinda figured that that was how to do it but I am not confident in my abilities. This confirms what I thought needed to be done.
I am not new to flashing I have been doing it since the LG g2x. But I did take a 3 year break from flashing and now everything is a little different.
Anyway thank you for this

Pleasure mate glad you appreciate it.
I also took a long break. Started back in the HTC sensation days! It's amazing how much everything changes when you don't check in for a while. Magisk for example blows my mind.

Yeah magisk is crazy the devs here at xda can do anything. They really are the best of the best. Everything I know I learned here on xda. I just read they are working on a new way to root at the kernel level so it's built in right from the when it's compiled. That's just crazy smart.
