Applying vendor.img after updating Pure Nexus

Hello
I have Pure Nexus rom installed. I updated the Pure Nexus zip just fine. When I tried to flash the vendor .img file form TWRP ,I chose "Install", "Install Image" and then chose MMB29V_vendor.img and it then prompted me to choose which partition to flash image, Boot or recovery. I'm not sure what to choose and why. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

You are on an old version of twrp. You need to update twrp to version 3.00. When you do that you will have the option to install the vendor.IMG to the vendor partition.

Wait, stop! Before flashing twrp you should create a pin 4 digit when rom is booted (settings>security). Because twrp will encrypt Upon first boot with "default_password" except you cant use that as a password or decrypt with it. So create 4 digit pin when phones booted in your rom, then use flashify to flash new twrp 3.0.0.0 or .1 (its easy), then boot into recov while useing pin to decrypt data. When you next boot into your rom you can change security to swipe or nothing. So next time you boot twrp you wont get a "can not decrypt data" message. Even when there is no encryption pass word set.
This is from experience.
Twrp latest build has changed a little how it works.

I have installed TWRP 3.1.0-0 and it is still showing select partitions screen and only available options are boot and recovery.

Update it via fastboot flash vendor command on your pc then.

I did so

Creating modified boot.img and enabling adb during first boot.

Modified boot.img of a rom is required to be flashed on that rom so that it works with TWRP.
Enabling ADB during first boot creates a way out in case your phone bootloops or stuck at MI logo and also hardbricked.
Many people hardbricked their phone while flashing MIUI based roms through TWRP, and they had to test-point to bring their phone back to life, my mod enables adb during boot and so people who used my mod and hardbricked their phone can access adb when their phone is stuck at MI logo or bootlooping and thus revive their phone.
Tools needed:-
1)Notepad++ (google it and download)
2)Android Image Kitchen(AIK) http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3638835&d=1454959265
Steps:-
1)Download the required rom and extract its boot.img
2)Copy the boot.img to AIK folder and drag boot.img and drop it on unpackimg.bat
3)Open ramdisk folder and look for default.prop , open them with Notepad++
4)Editing default.prop Note:- This will enable adb at first boot
5)Change
Code:
ro.secure=1 to ro.secure=0
ro.adb.secure=1 to ro.adb.secure=0
ro.debuggable=0 to ro.debuggable=1
persist.sys.usb.config=none to persist.sys.usb.config=adb
delete the line ro.secureboot.devicelock=1 if present
OR (Alternate way)(recommended)
open ramdisk and look for fstab.qcom, open with notepad++ and search for ",verify" (without quotes) and delete it and save.
6)Now execute repackimg.bat, a image-new.img file will be compiled.
7)Flash the image-new.img through TWRP or through fastboot using "Fastboot flash boot image-new.img"
That's all
P.S:- Remember only use Boot.img specific for the miui version you wanna run, boot.img version not matching with MIUI version
will cause the Wifi to stop working.
Press thanks If this helped.:good:
Any queries feel free to ask me.:laugh:

Does the modified boot.img procedure need to be done for every ROM or just for the MIUI ROMs? I want to install the AOSP ROM and later CM 13 but I'm still not sure about the whole flashing process.

So if I'm on Miui Official Global ROM 7.2.3 all I have to do is flash TWRP through fastboot, boot into it and flash the new ROM+GApps through it?

Thank you! I just did it. It has booted and almost over in the "Optimizing apps" window. Thing is, I did forget to wipe system, data and cache before flashing, should I do it again or will it be fine like this?
EDIT: I rebooted the phone into recovery, wiped system, data and cache, flashed the ROM zip and wiped cache and dalvik cache. I booted the phone and it showed the Mi logo, then 4 circles screen flying around (green, red, blue and yellow) and it has been like this for like 5 min now.. Did I do something wrong? I'm starting to worry to be honest.

Still hasn't booted. It has been on the flying circles screen for around 10 minutes now. Maybe fastboot twrp again and do the process all over again?

Try again, goto TWRP, wipe system,data,cache,dalvik and flash the rom. Now reboot...

So I shouldn't reinstall TWRP through fastboot?
EDIT: Ok so I restarted the phone and it booted normally into the ROM, everything seems alright. Will check if I have any problem, if I do I'll just reflash it.

are you sure you are using the boot.img of the MIUI version you are flashing? there is two 7.2.3.0 version of boot.img one for global and one for china. Anyway try this and see if wifi works, goto TWRP(I hope you've already deleted the emmc_appsboot file), select mount and then tick on mount system as read only. Then flash the rom. This method will replace TWRP with MIUI recovery but your wifi should start working.

Hello, I've followed a certain tutorial and flashed a fastboot Rom with modified emmc file in attempt to unlock bootloader by force because, even after two weeks of trying, I can't get a confirmation SMS from xiaomi to confirm sending an unlock request. After doing it and flashing TWRP onto my device, I'm still unable to enter recovery. Just shows a picture of device and a disconnected usb cable. I need to flash SuperSU in order to get root access.
Because this device is getting me really confused, please answer a couple of questions for me.
If I flash a recently uploaded global stable ROM 7.2.3.0. and flash TWRP with a modified boot image from this tutorial, will I finally be able to enter recovery and install SuperSU?
Flashing will probably relock my bootloader. Is it possible for me to finally enter TWRP and flash SuperSU after flashing the new boot image?
I've thought that I could enter TWRP just by unlocking the bootloader but it seems that I've missed something. I can't remember last time a phone got me this confused.
My only goal here is being able to enter TWRP and rooting my phone, I gave up on unlocking the bootloader officially because I can't ever get that confirmation SMS.
I appreciate the help!! :fingers-crossed:

Yeah, you can actually do that without root. I assume you have knowledge to use fastboot tools.
Download twrp 3.0.2 and put it in fastboot folder on pc.
Now type in "fastboot boot twrpxxx.img"
Your phone will boot into twrp without actually flashing it. Then, select backup and choose "system, data, boot, recovery" and complete backup of your ROM will be created.

Well, that depends on you. You need to backup only system, boot and recovery, that will give you the clean backup. But, if you would like to revert back with the same settings and apps installed earlier then you might choose to backup data and cache too.
