Hey guys. Thanks for the guide, I'm stuck however. I installed the latest global developer ROM in order to root and flash twrp, but there is no native option to root the ROM. What am I doing wrong? Bootloader is unlocked with xiaomi approval. Or is root China Rev ROM exclusive? If yes, the op should make that very clear, so that even dimwits like me understand it.

Hi there,
I did not use global ROM, true, don't know if possible with it.
Did you perform this step?
- Connect to WIFI
- Setting > Permissions > Root access
- Activate root access
The phone will then download a bunch of things and reboot.
After that you will be able to install TWRP and give it root access.
If not, tell me, I will update guide,
and you can reinstall Chinese ROM, to complete process, a matter of a few minutes.
Let me know
Thanks for your help! I already fixed in in the meantime, though. The permissions app only shows the root-button, if you are on the Chinese dev ROM. Which I wasn't (global one instead). Maybe you should add some extra weight to that in the guide. Other than that, it worked like a charm! Thanks buddy!
Edit: Sorry, didn't see that you pretty much already wrote all of that.
anyone else waiting more than two days for the request to be accepted?

Answer from TWRP is Success, but after reboot to recovery there is no TWRP, just MI logo all the time.

Have you downloaded the TWRP version for the 3 S? Not the Redmi 3?
I am not sure what are the differences here, but maybe the phone cannot boot if it is the wrong version.

Hmm, never seen that one,
Just to be sure, you did the following steps:
- Restart computer as per section: Windows 10 "Disable driver signature enforcement"
[...]
- Reboot to recovery, power off, power on "Vol. up" + "Power"
- Touch "Download" button (screen goes black)
- Plug-in USB cable
- Open Miflash tool... (this I know you did cause of the screen capture)
Do you have any devices identified as not properly installed in the Window peripherals?
Maybe try and install Android tools (also in the tuto) before and try to issue commands to your device.
Also, Googling "ping target failed xiaomi" I found that: http://en.miui.com/thread-354050-1-1.html
You might want to use older tool version.
Let us know
Thank you for your time.

Maybe you did something wrong cause most of the people here on XDA have no issue.
Try using an older ROM, or clean install... let us know!
By the way, this is just a guide to flashing,
Which I believe was useful for you cause you were able to change ROM.
Don't report bugs/issues on the ROM here, it is just a guide, report them on the ROM thread itself: https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-3/development/rom-cyanogenmod-14-0-t3481701
Hey guys,
I really do not know what to do.
with redmi one - i did not have problems - ok only one time
now I tried to put new international rom on my redmi 3 in holiday. I really treid it for at least 10 hours now! no success. I think, i am stupid....
flash unlock with sms and tool "miflash_unlock-en-2.2.406.5" worked.
next step is to power off and turn on with power up and power button.
If I do this, the redmi device always goes to fastboot picture rabbit and does not react to anything.
At this point I could not do anything. I always waited until accu was empty (1day) and then try it again in some other way.
Is there some really good guide? I do not know what i am doing wrong.
thank you in advance.
my redmi 3s crashed yesterday and i have the same problem now.
see here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-redmi-3s/help/phone-crashed-fingerprint-deleted-120-t3603930

Once again stuck at 50% unable to verify device (current account is different from account info on the device). TBH unlocking bootloader in Xaiomi devices sucks. in previous devices like redmi 3s/pime the only fix to overcome this 50% stuck issue was to flash a fastboot Chinese developer rom but in case of Redmi note 4 you won't even get a Chinese fastboot rom for SD variant and it sucks

I hope some body has a answer for this problem
hello,
first of all i recommend the advanced users to try this method first to see if they succeeds or not if they then, cheers for the new unofficial bootloader unlocking method. here i will provide steps to do:-
Things you need:
- fastboot rom MiUi 8 8.2 will work
-the modified bootloader file
-helpful quick answers
ok so here we begin
PREREQUISITE
-adb and fastboot setup already on your pc
-usb debugging and oem unlocking must be enabled(from developer options)
-mi flash tool ~>Get older version from here (use 20160401)
-driver signature off
step 1
Enable USB debugging and connect device to pc,
now open fastboot and adb folder and there open cmd and type
Code:
adb devices
step 2
you can recognize the device connected to pc
now reboot device to edl mode
Code:
boot to edl by button combination or fastboot command
you can see your phone is in edl(emergancy download mode)
step 3
extract the fastboot file, and goto extracted_folder/images
there you can find a file named emmc_appsboot.mbn
replace with the downloaded emmc file(from begining of post)
step 4
open mi flash tool and connect phone via usb and click on refresh you can seee a COM port with a number on display,
now browse and load the fastboot rom.
step 5
(in this step i'll be specific as same as redmi note 3 bootloader unlocking method is)
click on advanced and there
and choose these
Browse to flash_all.bat in Fastboot rom folder at First option ,
Third option to prog_emmc_firehose_8976_ddr.mbn ,
then last two options browse to rawprogram0.xml and patch0.xml
step 6
after selecting files in advanced ,go back and click on refresh
step 7
now flash the fastboot file as soon flashing completes remove cable and keep holding fastoot combination keys
now you are booted into fastboot
step 8
the fun part(i guess)
goto adb and fastboot folder and open cmd there'
and type
Code:
fastboot devices
to check if device detected or not
now type
Code:
fastboot oem unlock-go
now it should show
Code:
...
OKAY FINISHED
like this
step 9
now if you succeeded step 8 completely
i'd suggest you to check if bootloader is unlocked or not
type
Code:
fastboot oem device-info
if that shows as
Code:
<bootloader> Device Unlocked:true
then Congratulations.. you successfully unlocked bootloader without permission from xiaomi
now for the people who are trying do please inform if this method worked or not
(will be helpful to me for re edit post with ease steps)
credits to my whatsapp friend who given me required files lol :highfive:
AGAIN please do reply, if this method works or not if worked then cheers :victory:

Btw, i wanted to ask has anyone tested this method yet, ?
The method is much too dangerous to test, the modified bootloader file depends on android version and may brick your phone - read more in RN3 thread.
You should not have even posted such a method without personally testing it - we, as in users, are not guinea pigs.

Actually Mi flash tool has the option for advanced .. if you had the older version .. till now i havent updated to latest version yet, also if you may read above post i told that i currently dont have my max now, and i aint gonna get it in next 1 or 2 years, my brother took it and now he is at his hostel...
I ll link the old miflash tool, and the dangereous thing is only one soft brick(stuck at logo) and bootloop, I have experienced some that bootloaders doesnt vary device by device...
So probability is to get a stuck on logo or get a bootloop its simple that you just load the original fastboot firmware and flash, that reverts back to normal state, for now,
I'm just trying to help, if people dont like it then I will defineatly leave.

I didnt took all things from rn3 bl unlocking page, i just took method of flashing. And the bootloader file thats taken from officially unlocked bootloade, and i just told if previous post i dont hav max right now, so i wish if someone tried this and if he succeeds.. then its very good news for all locked bl users..
But i think none is not even trying
Definititely some procedures must be changed and adapted to mi max. Experimented developers has portion of truth but some users can`t get answer to unlock devices and me personally if my bootloader was locked don`t want have a device wich can`t be real owner.
Opennig file emmc... remember that an old trick from kitkat to unlock with sucess my old xperia z. some looks be based on the principle to replace original values in the clusters just for zeros. I uploaded two orginal and unlocker emmc files to consider this but of course I can`t confirm cause my bootloader is unlocked.
Some ideas aloud.
There are differences between locked and the official unlocked bootloader (please, see in the hex-editor the end of both files). It's a right idea for replace the locked bootloader (emmc_aboot) to official unlocked emmc_appsboot. The official unlocked emmc_appsboot we can get by dump of the partition in official unlocked device and this binary file will be have the .img extension (uncompressed binary file).
For checking we should check two binary files in the hex-editor: emmc_appsboot.mbn from ROM for fastboot flash and modified bootloader file from author. But files with .mbn extension should be uncompressed.
Sorry, but I don't know as uncompress the .mbn file.

Yeah i checked in hex, i guess its the some kinda lock codes with it so they got removed(i m noob in hex ' )
As far as .. result will be known by practically
Maybe developers can make something similar to safestrap, it was a great project based on bootstrap (now abandoned) that works with a modified recovery that allows install almost any rom on bootloader unlocked (and unlockable cause company never want to unlock it at least till the time I used) on my old galaxy note 3 at&t. This app created a second slot and more directly to install roms.
[U][B]Please, Somone who can revive their device from bootloop[/B][/U]
I thought someone will try it
This is far too risky to try
Sent from my Xiaomi MI MAX using XDA Labs
fail
already try this tutorial and ended my device brick no fastboot mode,cant turn on..solution im using testpoint to get my device unbrick...

hello,
first of all i recommend the advanced users to try this method first to see if they succeeds or not if they then, cheers for the new unofficial bootloader unlocking method. here i will provide steps to do:-
Things you need:
- fastboot rom MiUi 8 8.2 will work
-the modified bootloader file
-helpful quick answers
ok so here we begin
PREREQUISITE
-adb and fastboot setup already on your pc
-usb debugging and oem unlocking must be enabled(from developer options)
-mi flash tool ~>Get older version from here (use 20160401)
-driver signature off
step 1
Enable USB debugging and connect device to pc,
now open fastboot and adb folder and there open cmd and type
Code:
adb devices
step 2
you can recognize the device connected to pc
now reboot device to edl mode
Code:
boot to edl by button combination or fastboot command
you can see your phone is in edl(emergancy download mode)
step 3
extract the fastboot file, and goto extracted_folder/images
there you can find a file named emmc_appsboot.mbn
replace with the downloaded emmc file(from begining of post)
step 4
open mi flash tool and connect phone via usb and click on refresh you can seee a COM port with a number on display,
now browse and load the fastboot rom.
step 5
(in this step i'll be specific as same as redmi note 3 bootloader unlocking method is)
click on advanced and there
and choose these
Browse to flash_all.bat in Fastboot rom folder at First option ,
Third option to prog_emmc_firehose_8976_ddr.mbn ,
then last two options browse to rawprogram0.xml and patch0.xml
step 6
after selecting files in advanced ,go back and click on refresh
step 7
now flash the fastboot file as soon flashing completes remove cable and keep holding fastoot combination keys
now you are booted into fastboot
step 8
the fun part(i guess)
goto adb and fastboot folder and open cmd there'
and type
Code:
fastboot devices
to check if device detected or not
now type
Code:
fastboot oem unlock-go
now it should show
Code:
...
OKAY FINISHED
like this
step 9
now if you succeeded step 8 completely
i'd suggest you to check if bootloader is unlocked or not
type
Code:
fastboot oem device-info
if that shows as
Code:
<bootloader> Device Unlocked:true
then Congratulations.. you successfully unlocked bootloader without permission from xiaomi
now for the people who are trying do please inform if this method worked or not
(will be helpful to me for re edit post with ease steps)
credits to my whatsapp friend who given me required files lol :highfive:
AGAIN please do reply, if this method works or not if worked then cheers :victory:

please post steps with pictures or link a youtube video, I'll sub you, and I'm sure others will too.
Note-
Applicable for Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10
Similar steps are applicable for EMUI 4.X as well but TWRP file will change.
Hello Fellow Members,
Did not find any post mentioning rooting for Honor 8 SMART and got requests via PM and on FB to add it for EMUI 5. If there are any, let me know and I will take down this thread. I will just simplify the steps so that any new users can do this without any problem and without any prior experience to rooting, it may be long but will be the simple enough for all the users.
Prerequisites-
Enable the developer option in settings-
Go to Settings--> About Phone-->Tab build number 7 times to enable this setting.
Go back in setting page, just above system update, you will see a new menu as -Developer Options
Scroll for the debugging section and enable the USB Debugging
You will be prompted for the confirmation with RSA key, just accept it.
Enable OEM Unlock in Developer Options (just above the USB debugging option) – Most probably this option will not be there on EMUI 5.0 (only few have seen on EMUI but it was there on EMUI 4.1 for all but rarely on EMUI 5.0 or may be because I have used dload most of the time which grayed out this)
Please note down you build number, this may become handy in case something goes wrong to restore your phone via DLOAD. In Settings- About phone- Build Number
Installation of required Drivers.
Connect your phone to PC and install Hi Suite on PC and it will additionally install all the necessary drivers to PC and HiSUite on Mobile.
Download and Install ADB from Link
Accept all the prompts and install ADB drive system wise.
Once installation is completed, if default options are chosen, it will be under C:\adb
Downloading the necessary files.
Download TWRP from Link Thanks to @OldDroid for his Original Thread . Rest of the contributor and credit in original thread by OldDroid.
Move the downloaded file under C:\adb or wherever you have installed the ADB.
Download the SuperSU file from this Link and put it in SD card or keep handy on PC so that you can copy to internal memory later.
Get the unlock as mentioned in this thread
Actual Procedure
Unlocking the bootloader-
Backup all your data as unlocking the bootloader will reset the device and all your data will be erased.
On windows machine, go to folder C:\adb or wherever you installed the adb drivers.
Press shift+right click together and select Open command prompt here
Run - adb reboot bootloader (this command may prompt for acceptance of RSA key if not already accepted)
This will boot the phone into bootloader mode.
Run - fastboot oem unlock <16 digit unlock code- Put your actual code you obtained from Huawei site > (This step will unlock the bootloader and will erase all your data)
Phone will restart automatically.
Installing TWRP
Once on the system, open the PowerShell or command prompt again in ADB folder (can use the previous instance as well)
Run - adb reboot bootloader
Once in bootloader, Run - fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-0-venus.img (This will install the TWRP recovery for EMUI 5.0 on your phone)
Once done with the flashing the TWRP, Run - fastboot reboot
Rooting
Once booted to system, open the PowerShell or command prompt in ADB folder (can use the previous instance as well)
Run - adb reboot recovery
And your phone will boot into the TWRP recovery.
Copy the SuperU file downloaded to SD card or Internal memory.
Install the SuperSU zip.
Reboot and enjoy.
Happy Flashing.

It's not your fault
Hello everyone, in today's guide I will tell you all how to fix bootloop problem in Redmi note 4
NOTE: THIS FIX IS FOR THOSE WHOSE PROBLEM DIDN'T GET FIXED EVEN AFTER FLASHING WITH MIFLASH
QFIL is a tool which is used to flash stock firmwares in Qualcomm smartphones.
Prerequisites:
1)Bricked Redmi note 4 (lol I guess you have that already if you are reading this)
2) Working USB cable (You really dont want yourself smashing your head and then finding out faulty cable)
3) QPST Version 2.7.438.3 (Google it)
4) Unlocked bootloader
5) Platform Tools (For passing OEM EDL command)
6) Stock fastboot MIUI ROM (IMPORTANT: Use V8.1.10.0.MCFMIDI from here: http://bigota.d.miui.com/V8.1.10.0....DI_20161228.0000.00_6.0_global_7557bfe334.tgz)
7)QDLoader HS-USB Driver for Redmi Note 4X
Note: I'm not responsible if you mess up your device the mentioned process helped me and others in fixing our devices. You yourself are responsible!
Steps:
1) Open QFIL tool from C:\Program Files\Qualcomm\QPST\bin or wherever you installed it. Run as administrator!
Note: Don't use older version QPST, because you will get an error message when writing userdata section.
2) In QFIL choose Flat Build option.
3) Make sure you you have extracted the above ROM file onto desktop
4) In QFIL tool browse and locate .mbn file
(Named like: prog_emmc_firehose_8953_ddr.mbn)
5) Click on Load XML and select rawprogram0.xml and patch0.xml inside your Fastboot ROM folder.
6) Now turn off your phone and enter Fastboot mode by pressing ans holding power button+vol down button. After that open platform tools folder downloaded above and right click opening cmd in that folder and write following command:
fastboot oem edl
And hit enter (The above command does require your bootloader to be unlocked so kindly keep that in mind before passing the command)
7) Your phone will exit Fastboot mode and red led will start blinking and your phone will be detected as COM port in QFIL tool.
8) At last hit download button, if you did everything right process should begin and end saying download complete.
9) You can now remove your phone and keep holding power button till it boots up. First boot will take some time.
Optional step 10) If you loose your IMEI in flashing process then you can flash your IMEI using Qualcomm IMEI tool (If you face problem in this then comment and i will come up with another guide regarding IMEI flashing)
Hope it helps, if yes be sure you hit that thumbs up button it gives me good feeling lol ?
Reply if you face any problem

Hello there,
First of all make sure that you are flashing the fastboot rom which I mentioned in the thread.
Now coming to your problem, open QFIL tool and open configuration panel. You will see many options, check for 'Erase before Download' option and make sure its unchecked then try flashing again. If the problem persist then send me screenshot of QFIL tool along with configuration.
All the best!

Dear, you DON'T NEED TO SELECT "ERASE BEFORE DOWNLOAD" !!! Now listen carefully what to do-:

3) Once unlocked flash the fastboot rom in fastboot mode using mi flash tool. IMPORTANT: MAKE SURE YOU SELECT "CLEAN ALL" OPTION
4) Now when flashed your device will restart. Dont let it boot up. Press and hold power+volume down button till you enter into fastboot
5) From fastboot enter EDL mode using "fastboot oem edl" command. Red light will blink
6) Open QFIL and make sure "Erase before download" IS *NOT* SELECTED
7)Click download and you should be good to go

In order to use mi flash correctly kindly place the fastboot rom in C: drive root directory then try flashing, it will work. Its a bug of mi flash
Hi I followed your all 9 steps in the first post. However, me too is stuck in 'mi' logo nothing happens waiting after 10 minutes
Then I followed the following steps, flashed by mi tool followed by QFIL. But my QFIL didn't have "ERASE BEFORE DOWNLOAD" option. I downloaded the exact QPST version 2.7.438.3 from gsmhosting forum.
Still the phone boots and stuck with 'mi' logo forever. I have tried flashing other ROMs like RR, lineageOS from TWRP but each of the ROM is stuck while booting . Only miuiPro "miuipro_v7.0_mido_v9.2.1.0_NCFCNEK.zip" manages to boot but keeps rebooting after every 2-3 seconds. My phone has been useless for 3 long days.

Strange :/ you can try miflash tool for that case. Download the lastest mi flash tool, enter into EDL mode using "fastboot oem edl" command then in mi flash drop down menu in left corner select "flash_factory.bat" and click flash. It will take around 400 seconds. Make sure you are in edl mode with red blinking light otherwise it will wipe your IMEI. Hope it works!

After switch-on again boot loop every 22 seconds with mi-logo
Do you have any more tips for me?

Man, I think its some sort of hardware issue then. Or maybe your messed up your blobs or your partitions real bad and corrupted them. QFIL helped in my case. Got no more tips, maybe its time to visit service center brother One last shot you can give is to try flashing with QFIL first then with Mi Flash. That's last hope! All the best!

Which version of QFIL and which ROM are you flashing with? I managed to flash the said version in OP through QFIL without any error. However, other official versions like 9.xx fail to be flashed by QFIL
A solution that worked after all these troubles
Hi everyone,
This post is for those who are still struggling with 'cool' bootloop in Redmi note 4x irrespective of stock, custom ROMS, you are flashing.
Before all these steps I flashed "mido_global_images_V8.1.10.0.MCFMIDI_20161228.0000.00_6.0_global_7557bfe334.tgz" using QFIL first, then miFlash tool. I was greeted by "can't decrypt phone".
Refer to the OP
Then I flashed lazy_flasher and managed to boot into the stock ROM but couldn't get past the Mi account setup. Even my Keyboard app keeps stopping, so annoying.
The the below Steps I followed redeemed me of this agony powered by xiaomi:
1. Downloaded this firmware==>"global-mido-firmware-7.12.14.zip"
Mokee ROM==>"MK71.2-mido-201803080920-NIGHTLY"
open gapps arm-64, 7.1, pico
open gapps arm-64, 7.1, nano [BOTH] from gapps
2. flashed TWRP=3.1.1-0[official version] from the xda
Code:
fastboot flash recovery [name_of_recovery_image_of_twrp]
3. Entered into Recovery==>WIPE=>Advanced WIPE=> select all partitions==>WIPE[can leave Internal storage unchecked]
4. Then Format Data==>yes
5. Copied firmware, Mokee ROM, pico and nano gapps [4 items] to internal storage
6. Flashed downloaded firmware, then MOKEE ROM, then gapps-nano
7. Reboot to recovery
8. After entering Recovery, Reboot to system
Hopefully we will see mi logo, then Mokee robot animating soon enough. It will take you to setup wizard within 5-10 minutes, If you see any Google apps [Gboard in my case] stopping,
it may mean that google Play services were not installed properly[Don't know why]. In my case I couldn't set up Google account/framework first time. If it happens, go to settings,
enable developer options tapping BUILD version==>then enable USB debugging.
Then reboot to Recovery
Flash gapps-pico.
Do factory reset from Recovery, simple wipe.
Then reboot to System.[DON'T install TWRP as system app etc]
For me, this time I was able to setup google account from the setup wizard. Google service framework has been working without any issues. [ Again Don't know why]
This time I have been able to install my desired apps from playstore
Few more words:
Firstly, I tried flashing only pico, but I couldn't set up the google account, no matter how many times I reboot to recovery, wipe Dalvik-cache etc, then flash pico.
I described exactly what I did that worked out for me. There could be many possible orders, combinations, but I don't have time for that.
I tried to flash Alexy's "RR-N-v5.8.5-20180121mido_alexy.zip" ROM in combination with this firmware but it just will hang TWRP while flashing. only this MOKEE ROM worked with this firmware for me.
I wasted full 3 days for fixing this device. And no intention to tinker with it anymore, my communication has been in a mess!.
While in stock MIUI 'google *apps keeps stopping" just annoyed me as hell, so decided to switch, and after 3 days of disgusting 'Waiting period for bootloader UNLOCK' I couldn't even install a working stock
MIUI ROM now, maybe cheap hardware issue offered by Xiaomi. They have just made everything complex. This is my first and last device from them. My previous Moto G3 was amazing and would be with me had it not been stolen
Will be happy to help regarding this issue, and thank you the OP of this thread, who helped me realize that this device is still able to boot.
Wishing everyone in this note 4x trouble good luck!!

Before all these steps I flashed "mido_global_images_V8.1.10.0.MCFMIDI_20161228.0000.00_6.0_global_7557bfe334.tgz" using QFIL first, then miFlash tool. I was greeted by "can't decrypt phone".
Refer to the OP
Then I flashed lazy_flasher and managed to boot into the stock ROM but couldn't get past the Mi account setup. Even my Keyboard app keeps stopping, so annoying.
The the below Steps I followed redeemed me of this agony powered by xiaomi:
1. Downloaded this firmware==>"global-mido-firmware-7.12.14.zip"
Mokee ROM==>"MK71.2-mido-201803080920-NIGHTLY"
open gapps arm-64, 7.1, pico
open gapps arm-64, 7.1, nano [BOTH] from gapps
2. flashed TWRP=3.1.1-0[official version] from the xda
Code:
fastboot flash recovery [name_of_recovery_image_of_twrp]
3. Entered into Recovery==>WIPE=>Advanced WIPE=> select all partitions==>WIPE[can leave Internal storage unchecked]
4. Then Format Data==>yes
5. Copied firmware, Mokee ROM, pico and nano gapps [4 items] to internal storage
6. Flashed downloaded firmware, then MOKEE ROM, then gapps-nano
7. Reboot to recovery
8. After entering Recovery, Reboot to system
Hopefully we will see mi logo, then Mokee robot animating soon enough. It will take you to setup wizard within 5-10 minutes, If you see any Google apps [Gboard in my case] stopping,
it may mean that google Play services were not installed properly[Don't know why]. In my case I couldn't set up Google account/framework first time. If it happens, go to settings,
enable developer options tapping BUILD version==>then enable USB debugging.
Then reboot to Recovery
Flash gapps-pico.
Do factory reset from Recovery, simple wipe.
Then reboot to System.[DON'T install TWRP as system app etc]
For me, this time I was able to setup google account from the setup wizard. Google service framework has been working without any issues. [ Again Don't know why]
This time I have been able to install my desired apps from playstore
Few more words:
Firstly, I tried flashing only pico, but I couldn't set up the google account, no matter how many times I reboot to recovery, wipe Dalvik-cache etc, then flash pico.
I described exactly what I did that worked out for me. There could be many possible orders, combinations, but I don't have time for that.
I tried to flash Alexy's "RR-N-v5.8.5-20180121mido_alexy.zip" ROM in combination with this firmware but it just will hang TWRP while flashing. only this MOKEE ROM worked with this firmware for me.
I wasted full 3 days for fixing this device. And no intention to tinker with it anymore, my communication has been in a mess!.
While in stock MIUI 'google *apps keeps stopping" just annoyed me as hell, so decided to switch, and after 3 days of disgusting 'Waiting period for bootloader UNLOCK' I couldn't even install a working stock
MIUI ROM now, maybe cheap hardware issue offered by Xiaomi. They have just made everything complex. This is my first and last device from them. My previous Moto G3 was amazing and would be with me had it not been stolen
Will be happy to help regarding this issue, and thank you the OP of this thread, who helped me realize that this device is still able to boot.
Wishing everyone in this note 4x trouble good luck!!

Let me know bro what happens, hope it works for you
I wanted to use RR rom though, but in the end no ROM worked for me except this one. So I'm just happy with it.
