Hi to all,
Tried to build a recovery for mx5 from cm12.1 sourcecode.
Link(yadisk)
GITHUB(android_device)
Failed to boot it. Tried by flashing via the terminal. Maybe thats because of locked bootloader. Dont know.

I don't understand what meaning, developers options can unlock MX5? Yes, Mi 5 are very strong, I also want to have, but don't have much money, I am from China.

Ok, thank you very much for your patience to answer, I think I will wait until after the AOSP stable, now I can't normal use this AOSP, because it's too many bugs, cause I have to use Flyme, because I am in China, so Flyme is good to use, Root and Xposed have already done, I can easily modify Flyme, but things can change very little, thank you again for you, please forgive my poor English.

Really ,Guys i am****ed up with this tries i tried all but fastboot oem unlocking not possible .if it is pls let me know as fast as possible ..thank you ..

Sorry, but I don't know. I tried it with MIUI 8 and it worked. If you try it and confirm if it works then tell me.

Amazing
Could you do it with other Redmi phone aswell, or It is very complicated?

So when I want to flash a Custom Rom like LineageOS 13 or 14
1. I just have to flash a TWRP on the Note 3 Pro and then
2. flash the ROM
3. (maybe) flash SuperSU?
Since this method of unlocking is an unofficial one does one have to flash the special TWRP when one wants to flash a MIUI based ROM?
Thx for the work.

Maybe i can do it but then I need the firmware for the specified phone etc...
I don't really want to start projects with phones that I don't own because i need to test if it works etc... and i don't want to brick other people's phones by my own fault.
I hope you understand.

Yes. You need a special TWRP if you unlocked your bootloader unofficially. For example I always use ZCX TWRP. I can flash any ROM without problem. And if I get stuck at MI logo because my bootloader relocked then I just flash the files with MiFlash and after everything works fine.

If I use this method and install any other rom now. Can I revert back and officially unlock my bootloader in the future? And also will unofficially unlocking cause any problems/hindrance to frequent ROM, Kernel flashing???( As in having to do some special step like replacing some img file everytime I flash a ROM through TWRP???)
TIA

You can easily revert back to stock with flashing an official firmware through MiFlash.
The unofficial unlock doesn't cause any problems. It's just like if you unlocked officially. Maybe you need to reflash this pack everytime you update or install a new rom... I'm not sure but you'll see it anyway.

I tried it and now my phone is hard bricked......... phone doesn't boot up, doesn't get recognized on the pc and when plug the phone in all I get is a blinking red light.... wont go into fastboot or edl mood..... can I get help or is there anything I can do to fix it????

On which device you tried? (kenzo, kate?)
Press all three buttons (vol up+down +power) it will force reboot the phone and when phone reboots immediately try to boot in fastboot

I think you did something wrong... It's impossible to hardbrick your phone with this method if you follow my instructions... It's working sure on Redmi Note 3 Snapdragon version with MIUI 8.

[Question] Which ROM to install

Hello,
I have some experience with installing ROMs on Samsung Galaxy S4 with TWRP in the past but haven't done so in a very long time. With Xiaomi's disappointing announcement that they will not issue Oreo for Redmi 3S I'm looking for ways to obtain that Android version because I'm still stuck with stock Android v6 by MIUI, v9 Beta.
With the overwhelming amount of available ROMs I would ask for advice which one is most recommended for stability, continuous flow of stable updates and most developed in terms of features.
If you could point me to it along with a comprehensive guide on how to install TWRP with it it would be most appreciated. I looked up on Google, YouTube and many other sites but every guide has something in common and something different, which is why I'm not entirely sure about doing it because I don't want to brick my device.
Many thanks in advance!

1. Unlock Your Phones bootloader (works on any Xiomi device) :http://maheshtechnicals.com/2018/02/unlock-bootloader/
2. Install TWRP RECOVERY : http://maheshtechnicals.com/2017/07/how-to-install-twrp-recovery-on-redmi-3s-prime-3x/
3. Install custom Rom (Step by step tutorial with download links) :http://maheshtechnicals.com/category/xiaomi-redmi-3s-prime-3x-roms/

Note that it takes (at least) 72 hours to unlock bootloader now. You need "permission"(up to 7 days, usually 30-40 minutes) and "wait time" (72 hours for Redmi 3s)
I have done a full program packet scan, the "wait time" limitation is server side. The Xiaomi server holds your RSA decryption key for unlock on the server. It will not send it over until the 72 hour limit expires.
There is no way to get the unlock your phone without the decryption key, and it isn't sent until the server's 72 hour timer expires.
Here are the brief steps.
1) Sign into Mi Account on the phone (use existing Mi Account. More Forum points via older account = faster "permission")
2) Go to <mi unlock website>. Fill out form, in English is fine. I wrote something like I need to flash custom rom.
3) Wait 24-72 hours for "permission". This will be via SMS. Mine took 30 minutes.
4) Unlock developer mode on phone (Settings---> About phone---> MIUI Version (Keep tapping it to enable developer option)
5) Settings---> Additional settings---> Developer option and bind your approved Mi account under Mi Unlock Status. It should say account bound. If not, you need to VPN to get this to work. Look up a guide.
6) Reboot phone into bootloader (hold down power button and volume down. The word "Fastboot" and a xiaomi guy appears).
7) Finally, download the MI Unlock app (version 3.x.x) from <mi unlock website>. Login etc. Attempt to unlock. It should fail at 99% and say "wait 72 hours". If it fails at 50%, it means you didn't complete step (1->3) correctly.
8) Come back in 72 hours. should work.
The Official guide is a bit old and some of the pictures/links are outdated. Namely don't download Mi Unlock tool 1.1.xx. Download 3.x.x from <mi unlock website>
My last root/etc was Cyanogenmod 10 on HTC One S. So we are from a similar era

Hey check your telegram. I just texted you

Hi everyone and thanks for the replies!
I was about to follow the steps to unlock the bootloader when I encountered two things,
1) I didn't have to file an application to unlock the bootloader, the website directly redirected me to the unlock app. Seems like permissions are already granted,
2) checking my phone's developer options I stumbled upon this:

I just wanted to confirm whether that means I can safely proceed with installing TWRP and flash a custom ROM and don't need to do anything else.

Guys I ran into a major problem,
everything succeeded with installing TWRP, but when I downloaded the CRDroid image from the official codenamed "land" and tried to flash it the TWRP recovery reported that "the package is for device 'land', this device is . "
Please help.

Brick Redmi Note 7

Hi there.
So, i've been looking around for some root apps, and I'm in front with some big problem that i cant get out of..
I've bricked it fully, i don't know how cause i just installed some ROM and after I reboot my cellphone doesn't recognize anymore. It just stays on black screen. Doesn't get fastboot, twrp or anything. It's just a black screen. When i connect it on PC, i got "Qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008"..
So I've been trying QFIL method but i got this sahara error. doesn't matter what i do. :crying:
like in this pic took from my pc :

Anyway, thanks

Well, don't expect too much. Even though Redmi Note 7 (lavender) and Note 7 Pro (violet) have almost the same name, they are completely different. More if we talk specifically about Note 7 (lavender) as it has way lot problems when we talk about modifying system and similar things. The best you could do is to ask for support in the respective forum for Redmi Note 7 Pro (Violet), not here.
Could give you a hand but I'm not that acknowledged as to help you in this case, sorry.

I guess you were flashing rom which was not supposed for your phone and when it flashed firmware files it didn't boot.
Now to help you further please tell which rom you flashed(giving link will be better). And
Can you tell from which rom you are trying to unbrick it i.e. from where you are taking files to flash via qfil.

Ok it doesn't matter which RN 7 it is cos at this stage you would have to approach a service center, they usually have an authorised account which can help restoring stock ROM on your device

So..
After a few days, i did found a solution. I had some help of brazilian friends on Telegram.. anyway, it worked.
My situation was:
I've installed some ROM on my Redmi Note 7 and for some how it entered on hard brick. Doesn't gave fastboot, Twrp, anything. Only Black screen..
The famous HARDBRICK.
[SOLUTION]
have to install MiFlashToolPro and flash your stock ROM in EDL mode.
i have it uploaded if anyone want it.. i cant post any links cause i'm new on this forum so if anyone want it, look at the end of this text.
......
In this download has prog_emmc_firehose_Sdm660_ddr.elf which you need to put in yourom/images folder.. something like that
"C:\lavender_eea_global_images_V11.0.4.0.PFGEUXM_20191110.0000.00_9.0_eea\images"
After you've installed MiFlashToolPro, you have to go to "MiFlash" then select the folder where your ROM is then flash it.
Obs: Probably you will get "Hello packet reiceved" problem, so what you need to do is turn down your cellphone, then power it up.. Yes. I know that your cellphone shows only black screen so ((why?)) do it?
cause EDL mod is active only for 10-15s after your cellphone is ON.. thats why we have this "hello packet" problem. you need to be fast. Turn on your cellphone, click on refresh, then Flash it. It will work.
Worked on 27/02/2020 on REDMI NOTE 7
if you have any question on this process u can call me on TELEGRAM

You are posting in wrong phone forum. You are talking about redmi note 7 (codename Lavender) but posting in Redmi note 7 pro( codename Violet) both phones are different snapdragon 660 and 675 if you flash the files of one another it will definitely brick thats what you did first time and now maybe posting here in violet forum people will look for file you flashed which is already there in fastboot roms but the packet you sending to the phone should match.
Ok the tool you used may work here but not the files so don't provide this file to violet users.
Thank You...
Once again users viewing this thread don't flash the files on violet by taking from OP creator, its of no use to violet users
Asking Mods to move it into its respective phone forum i.e. redmi note 7 lavender

Obviously the bare minimum then install what you need, who knows/cares what they’re branded (pico/nano), use your best judgement on which one is just store+gms

I flashed the rom and installed play store manually then installed google apps

do you happen to know whether the German language works?

This is a totally unnecessary step that OP has mentioned in the first post. You can just use MSM tool to go from Oxygen OS to Colour OS , flashing hydrogen OS first doesn't do anything as Colour OS MSM tool has all the necessary files to flash colour OS

Agreed. MSM flashes the same things with hydrogen or ColorOS, they're different OS's but anything the hydrogen MSMtool put on there is going to be overwritten. I'm sure you can just skip hydrogen and go straight to ColorOS from OOS.

Don't worry about HOS, just flash OOS MSM tool and you should be good

Yeah thx for the answer I flashed OOS directly without any issues. I go back because my battery was not really good on ColorOS, but that the only point in it. The rest is very smooth and way better as on OOS

i just can turn back to hydrogen os . please help me please

For me the battery on coloros is better than oxygen , and yeah its much better than oos I've been using it since they released it and didn't have any issues till now

installing color OS with this process can I update via ota ?? or where can I see which version is the latest for our device?
