(Question) Which is the best recovery to flash pie ROM - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion

Title itself specify my question
For me this question is solved I'm using new orange fox and it satisfies all my needs
I was previously using red wolf but it had restore issue as I remove some system apps to make rom lite and free up some space for mods
But orange fox fixed everything
Thank you guys.

Official, in my opinion all the rest is pointless, I have no valid reason to use anything different when official does the job perfectly.
Exceptions are the cases when zcx twrp saved my ass (flashable from computer in fastboot mode), but this is only a temporary solution to flash official twrp.

Isn't official TWRP flashable through fastboot mode as well?

It is when you can use your phone and setup - usb debugging, adb debugging - before flashing if you didn't do that before. When a dummy user flash wrong rom or anything that makes the device unusable - of course I've never done anything like this - than zcx is the winner: no complicated methods, no command prompts, only run flash.bat and it is done.

CWM Recovery Flashable Zip

Hello XDA
Im just wondering if anyone can create a CWM 6.0.2.3 Recovery Flashable Zip that can be flash via Recovery..
Coz for I do test some custom cwm touch recovery, but to be able to revert back to Official CWMR 6.0.2.3, I have to flash the .IMG via PC (Fastboot Mode).
If anyone can provide us with a Flashable zip with ClockWorkMod Recovery that would be cool and I would be greatful to the one who provide it..
THanks and have a nice day..
Why not use ROM manager?
You can't flash a recovery image when in recovery as it's in use - you can only use fastboot (or ROM Manager if you REALLY want to)

Ow.. Thanks for that valuable information, though, I tried to flash a custom CWM touch recovery which was posted here, and there's a flashable zip available, I tried that and flash it via Official CWM Recovery it flashes without any problems,
Still, Fastboot flashing is no problem for me, is just that, It happens to me one time that cant access my PC, then thought of and hoping there's a flashable zip of cwmr without any modifications just like the Official .IMG
Thanks for the reply.
EDIT:
And as for the ROM Manager, I think its a paid app, and I only buy paid apps If I always use that app.

In which case I stand corrected, I didn't think it was possible to flash another recovery when the existing one is running. Seems like a bit of a security loophole IMO!

I have same set up when used TWRP 2.4.4 on Samsung Nexus, and ASUS TF300t; on both devices TWRP recognizes SD card external via OTG without problem.
On Nexus 4, when plug in, or turn it to fastboot, recovery mode, the light on USB thumb drive does not blink. after get in TWRP it will not mount external drive.
Any help?

I didn't "dig up" the thread. I was looking for information on CWM Recovery custom ROMs and while reading this (among others) thread looking for the info, I saw your post. Since you aren't man enough to delete your inaccurate comment, I felt it important to decry it so others don't heed your ignorant assertion.
Why should I delete it? I was corrected, I admitted as such and that is more manly than leaving a post saying 'deleted' in it don't you think? I can easily admit when I'm wrong and this was one of those times

[RECOVERY][APP][TWRP/CWM/PhilZ]Recovery Collection

After @Envious_Data and me discovered that there is no real collection for the most up-to-date recoveryimages, for both stock and AOSP based Roms we decided to create this thread in order to change this.
Recoverys:
CWM Recovery 6.0.5.1
PhilZ Touch Recovery 6.59.0 (CWM Version 6.0.5.1)
TWRP 2.8.3.0 (2.8.1.0 recommend as 2.8.3.0 is not starting on some Roms)
Installation
Download the recovery images in the Download section reboot your phone into fastboot mode and execute the command
Code:
fastboot flash recovery *name of the recoveryimage you downloaded*.img
in fastboot.
When you want to flash it from your phone, navigate into the folder where you downloaded the recoveryimage and execute the command:
Code:
dd if="*name of the recoveryimage you downloaded*.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/FOTAKernel
as root in Terminal Emulator.
If you are lazy you can also use my App, M5-Settings. It automatically downloads the most up-to-date recoveryimage to your externel SD Card and flashes the recoveryimage to your FOTAKernel Partition.
Download:
CWM Recovery
PhilZ Touch Recovery
TWRP
M5-Settings
Sources:
CWM Recovery
PhilZ Touch Recovery
TWRP (download currently linking to the reupload prebuilt 2.8.1.0 official recoveryimage, never builds will be compiled from source)

Hi Both,
I want to get the M5Kernal and flash it on a CM12 that has cyanogenmod recovery
So which Recovery do you suggest and which version which will make this process an easy one.
I tried to flash TWRP (forgot the version) but it would show everything pixelated with horizontal lines making nothing readable nor functional.
Edit: I have flashed Philz, flashed M5KernelV2 and guess what, phone stuck at "Android is upgrading.. Starting apps" for the past 3 minutes.
I'll give it some time and update
Edit: So it wouldn't boot and I had to wipe it fully and tried again, all good.
Best of all, the recovery actually "sticks"
Regards
Hmm, you should probably mention that you need to unlock your bootloader first? unless I'm mistaken..

Not exactly
You cant use fastboot on xperias if the bootloader is locked
I dont think fotakernel/recovery is a part of the bootloader (likely hence why we cant boot right into recovery)
You do need a custom kernel to use recovery
But to install it i think is a different case, im not experianced all too much with locked bootloaders so this info is based off of a conversation between a bunch of devs
can I use this one on a ROOTED STOCK ROM in 4.4.2 and build .137?!

@Myself5 i tried instal twrp from your awesome app after an format and updated my device to lollipop stock and back to cm12 but anytime the device boot in cyanogenmod recovery its somthing with bootloader changed at lollipop?
Will any of the recoveries work on Locked Bootloader running Android 5.0.2?

When will there be a recovery for lollipop?
All recoverys are already compatible with Lollipop.
I thought the "fastboot flash recovery...." command is not valid on Sony's world as the recovery partition is combined in kernel? I always thought the kernel and the recovery must be united then flashed with "fastboot flash boot ....." command? Am I wrong?

the recovery partition isnt 100% independant so you need a kernel that supports fotakernel (recovery partition)
but they are separate, boot and recovery

As the post right above yours says, you need a kernel which supports loading Recoverys from FOTAKernel Partition (if you run stock, I'd recommend either advanced Stock Kernel or AndroPlus Kernel, both made by @AndroPlus), which both need a unlocked bootloader in order to work, so the answer to your question is no, it does NOT work on locked bootloader, for LB you might want to try XZDualRecovery.

Recovery doesn't stick
So I downloaded your awsome m5-settings app and tryed to installed twrp recovery on my z2, running cm12. Booted into recovery, and twrp came up (instead of cm recovery). But it doesn't "stick". I can't press any buttons, and after approximately 10-20 seconds the phone reboot normal again. I've tried to use cwm also, but twrp still shows up and doesn't work. Last resort I tried philz, but still got twrp.
I also tried to run fotacwm img, thru terminal emulator. But nothing works.
All I want is a custom recovery that works, since CM 12 recovery is useless!!
Btw. I'm a noob, so please be gentle against me
Ps: I added a screenshot of the phone details. It's in Norwegian, but I guess you understand (sorry)

You don't. You use adb/fastboot, and give it a go that way. A little bit more work, but not that big a deal.
So I suppose if we want to come from a nexus 9 android n preview, we have to flash the factory image from the last 6.0.1 before we flash the remix os?
looks nice but does not support LTE, says to insert sim card even though it is already there

If you have TWRP installed, it's easy.
1. Reboot into recovery
2. Wipe data, cache, system, dalvik
3. Reboot bootloader
4. Fastboot flash the provided (remixOS) bootloader and vendor
5. Flash the rest of the files, but not recovery (unless you don't want twrp)
6. Select HBoot, then select recovery.
7. (Optional) If you are unencrypted, and want to remain so, flash fed patch v8 in recovery. Now reboot
Doing it this way, you don't lose any files on your device, and your device remains unencrypted plus with twrp. If you want to go back to a regular ROM, all you'll have to do is do your wipes in twrp, flash the correct bootloader and vendor, and you're set. It's a lot easier than transferring stuff on and off every time.

Okay that works too. I just like keeping twrp instead of stock recovery. You don't have to completely flash back to stock though. Only thing you'll need are bootloader and vendor provided.

Yes I was looking from Google directly, do you think the last 6.0.1 will be good?
Remix OS 2.0 is nice already but on the nexus 9 but little bit small for display, waiting for the nexus 9 keyboard from Google that I ordered, hope it will work like a charm.

Yep I just saw it, I was not sure, thank you
Pleasantly surprised with the update. Feels smooth so far and very glad that we can add widgets to the desktop .
The split keyboard function also makes the keyboard usable while holding the tablet in landscape mode.
There's a easiest way to flash this remix 3.0 ROM on nexus 9 rather than using the fastboot or adb, I can confirm flashing via FlashFire app works by clicking on 'Firmware' then find the .tgz file you downloaded for the remix 3.0. The ROM I had before was completely different as well, slim9 so I was quite rather impressed it still worked without any problems, boot loops but make sure u do the usual wipe cache, system, data etc before flashing. (Don't need to wipe internal storage either)
Its a clean, smooth, fast responsive ROM, huge update from Remix 2.0. Thanks Remix devs <3

Couldn't agree more =)

Can I make use of Nougat's automatic updates and have/keep root? TWRP ver. to use?

Right now I'm on 7.0 DP5, unencrypted with root. I'm willing to enable encryption if it means I won't have to constantly manually flash the security updates and keep root. Is that what the "system-less root" technique is for? (and is it still a thing?)
Should I use the lastest TWRP 3.0.2-2 to flash N factory images? I'm guessing 3.0.2-1 bug is less serious now that there's a vendor.img available, but the last I had read from the dev team was that -2 was still untested and 3.0.2-0 was still the safest bet. I'm just not sure it's compatible with N?

You can't have root or custom recovery and take OTAs, but you can have an unlocked bootloader. Otherwise stock only. I am pretty sure systemless appeared when people were trying to keep using Android Pay. As for TWRP, I have had no problems using the latest, just don't restore / backup between MM and N.

If you are rooted and have TWRP installed, you can use FlashFire to install the OTA and keep root and your custom recovery.
+1 Flashfire
Cool thanks for the suggestion, I actually saw something about FlashFire this morning but haven't had a chance to look into it yet. Do I need to be encrypted for it to work? And I'm assuming it's not entirely compatible with N's update system, it still takes some interaction to flash?

The other issue with TWRP was backing up and restoring the EFS partition, it seemed that 3.0.2-1 corrupted it on restore which would be a problem. They did have a work around. They suggested using -0 would be fine. I have -2 and did a N to N restore with no issue, but I did not restore EFS. I'm always extra careful with new versions, I tend to backup my data and backups off-phone just in case.

My situation is that my 6p is rooted , TWRP installed and with custom kernel. I have searched quite a bit and cannot make sure which is the best way to update from MM to N. My thought is that:
1. FlashFire wipe system data n cache;
2. FlashFire MM stock boot image;
3. FlashFire N ota;
4. FlashFire custome kernel; and
5. Reboot.
The above steps to be done in one sequency. Please comment n million thanks.

Put this in wrong thread and want to delete it.
That's a bit too complicated. Connect your phone to a Mac. Open a terminal and
adb devices (To see if your phone is recognized. If so continue, if not fix and then continue)
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot bootloader
fastboot flash system.img
fastboot flash recovery stockrecovery.img
fastboot reboot
That should unroot your device.

You don't need vendor image unless you are flashing a different boot/system from what you currently have. But it also can't hurt as long as it's the correct version.

I believe I am looking for a suitable way to upgrade my 6p from MM to N that I have explicitly stated at my wrong thread post. This is absolutely not my intention to return my 6p back to stock of MM. And there is every reason to upgrade to N, thus, vendor.img is no doubt a must for an amateur like me.
Nevertheless, thanks for dratsablive kind suggestions.

Tried to flash it but I'm stuck on 3.0.3.0.
UPDATE: somehow sometimes my P2 boots version 3.0.2.0 and sometimes 3.0.3.0, but how?

Just enter to twrp recovery mode click install section, click install image section on right bottom side, and navigate to where is twrp img that you already downloaded, and thick button on recovery option (make sure not to choose wong section other than thick recovery button), then flashed, next restart to enter to boot recovery one again.

That's exactly what I did, but didn't work. Guess I'll flash it with fastboot.

Yes you can, just rename the downloaded file to twrp.img
Thanks for this version! The other twrps indeed are not working with aroma installers.

Hell yeah! Thanks man!
For some reason I can't install the latest materialiazed 3.1.0.0 via the flash image in twrp. It installs, but the theme is the standard, not like in the screenshots. I didn't tried the fastboot method as I'm lazy.
Thanks bro.. i'll try this!!

Maybe the question sounds stupid but why it is not allowed to flash update.zip ( TWRP inside ) with original Lenovo recovery ?

To prevent twrp ask for code security, use second line when you wanna create security, if twrp ask code security, remove your security first and create new one like above
