I've tried some things on my Xiaomi Redmi 3 Pro and I want to share them if helpful for someone.
I've done all this with Xiaomi.eu Rom and SMIUI
///// I'm not accountable for any problem on your phone, do it at your own risk! \\\\\
1 - Button combinations (unplugged from pc):
vol+ & vol- & power = force shutdown if in fastboot or download mode, if powered-on it's a restart
vol- & power = from switched-off phone goes in fastboot (from there you can launch another combination: vol+&vol- while launche cmd: fastboot.exe reboot)
vol+ & power = preload\ bootload mode (the yellow screen where to choose recovery\ fastboot\ download mode)
2 - For any type of problem \brick \ bootloop be sure before about this:
A) if you run the phone in fastboot mode, check if you can see it in fastboot command line from pc (cmd: fastboot devices)
B) if you run the phone in download mode, check if you can see it from miflash
If these point are ok this means the pc is ready to see the phone if you softbrick it or it goes in bootloop.
You will be always able to run it in fastboot mode, then download mode, an flash any rom to the phone that works.
3 - What you need?
Install last version of MiFlash, here a guide: http://en.miui.com/thread-272376-1-1.html
Install MiPCSuite in english, here the link: http://pcsuite.mi.com/
If you have problems with ADB, install ADB drivers, here the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48915118#post48915118 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
If you have problems with hs-usb qdloader 9008 driver, try to install from here: http://www.androidbrick.com/download/qdloader-hs-usb-driver/
Download and upack Android.Image.Kitchen for Windows, from here: https://mega.nz/#!McAj2SZT!E4XS7II27BjkjSHS2vcBnE6Tgvl8IZBhCD2wEKBchpA
Download TWRP 3.0.2.0 for MiFlash: https://mega.nz/#!cF4VVQiY!zrq2DTQRBX3UHRPOXN1dDNWiTn5tnoPxUfrHF_Rsnq4
Download ROM from different links:
http://en.miui.com/a-234.html (miui china stock, BL Locked)
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=36337 (Xiaomi.eu with Gapps, no Bloatware, BL unlocked)
http://smiui.net/kitchen.php(Xiaomi.eu + other stuff)
Install Notepad++
4 - Prepare ROM:
As suggested by the user Jack0190 there are ROMS where is not needed to mod this files, like for "Xiaomi redmi3 pro locked multilanguage" roms.
Searching on web you can find them quickly, just be aware that there are some roms that have problems with SIM recognize. This comes from an old Thai \ Indian MIUI.
I've seen first this thread on en.miui, http://en.miui.com/thread-276565-1-1.html , where explains how to modify ROM to change the bootloader check. The guide explains very good how to modify the "boot.img" file of roms.
So just follow those steps.
I've seen that you can do it for both types of rom, for Recovery and MiFlash too.
For the recovery ROM, you have a file to open in 7Zip, copy the "boot.img" from it, modify it as explained in the guide, and re-copy in the zip file again.
While for the one for Miflash, it's easier; extract the rom, copy the "boot.img" file from \image folder, modify it with, and change it in the original folder. Then flash it with Miflash.
5 - Connect phone in Fastboot with pc:
One thing that always will save you is the ability to connect phone in fastboot mode.
Before start the phone in fastboot mode with cable unplugged (point 1).
Once you've installed Miflash, go on it's directory folder (C:\Program Files\Xiaomi\MiPhone\), and run cmd from there (shift+right mouse click).
Connect phone to pc.
Then run command "fastboot.exe devices" and if the result under the line on left is a code, the phone is recognized
6 - Force Download Mode from fastboot:
To force the phone to go in dowload mode, first run it in fastboot (point 5), check if it's recognized (point 2-A), then type but don't run command "fastboot.exe reboot".
Now push vol+ & vol- in the same time, and now run the command.
If it runs in the right mode, you can see it's connected by device manager under "Ports (COM &LPT)" section.
You will see "qdloader 9008 driver" with a COM port installed. The same port you will see in Miflash if you run it and push the "refresh button".
7 - Flash Job:
A) First you need to flash the recovery, TWRP, and to do this you should already have done this things:
Install Miflash, MiPcSuit
Your phone is right seen in fastboot and in Miflash in download mode.
You have downloaded the right versione of TWRP for MiFlash.
B) Flash TWRP with Miflash
Select in Miflash the button "Browse" and go to the folder "\Image"where you have extracted the TWRP zip
Click "Refresh"
Click "Flash"
Wait to complete (If it fails sending hello packets, it's because it's too much time the phone is in download mode, in this case, switch it off, e restart in Download mode and re-do all )
C) Copy modified ROM:
Now, I've done this step by OTG connection but there are more ways to do it:
Connec and mount an USB Drive in OTG
Push it by ADB
Copy it by SD card
If the old ROM still works, copy it in MTP connection
if none of this options is available, flash the Rom with Miflash, flash again TWRP recovery, run recovery, wipe cache and dalvik (factory reset option under "Wipe") and try to run system, it should run last system flashed.
D) Flash modified rom by recovery
E) Restart in system (It could take long time, even 10 minutes, so just wait for it)
Thanks to all users\ people helped me with different guides from XDA and other forums.
I' m sorry for no image, but it's not an official guide.
If something is wrong I'll change it asap, but don't blame me, these are just advices.
If it's not enough clear, search it on web.
If there are grammar errors, the Image verification confirms "I'm not a robot"
If you don't find the answer, then it's 42.
After mod, i can flash rom update from recovery?
Inviato dal mio GT-I9505 utilizzando Tapatalk
Just wanted to say thank you - This guide works. I tried it with a new redmi 3 pro with locked bootloader. You can skip step 4 if you want to, because there are some prepared images available (search for "xiaomi redmi3 pro locked multilanguage" and you will find them).
Also to note: The first boot of the new system took some long time (~ 10-minutes), so don't get frustrated. As long as there's the android logo with the three dots wandering around, everything should work fine.

not sure about this, I've flashed the last version available, so i don't have updates for now to test.
But i think that it could overwrite files modified.
This is what in some guides tells.

Thanks to you, I've updated with what told. I've tried some of ROMs for locked bootloader, but was an Indian \ Thai version, and I had issues with SIM, no recognize.
That's why it was needed for me to use other rom for unlocked bootloader.
Hi, thanks for the guide. It seems like it'd be the only decent I could come across for my problem.
The only thing is that everytime I try to flash any ROM/image through MiFlash, I get the error:
Code:
Error loading type libary/DLL.(0x80029c4a: wait port ready to use <time in seconds>)
So far I haven't found anything or anyone that could help me with this. Can any of you help me out here? That'd be much appreciated.
Thanks~
----------------------------------
::Edit::
Alright, turns out I just had to do this:
1. Uninstall the Qualcomm drivers
2. Reboot Windows into "test mode"/Disabled driver signature enforcement
3. Reinstall the Qualcomm drivers
4. Flash device (phone in download mode)
5. Be very pacient. Waiting through the phone's boot phase
(took about 10 minutes; if it takes more than 15 minutes, then something is probably wrong. Try to enter download mode and flash it again.)
6. Redmi 3 working again
Okay, so, this worked for me, it doesn't mean it'll necessarily work for you!
This was done with a locked bootloader and MiFlash 2015.10.28.0
Earlier in this week a friend of mine gave me a Redmi Note 3 pro that was pattern lock.
I tried the traditional hard reset hoping to reset pattern lock, but was unable too.
Since the bootloader was locked it was not able to, due to the issue of not being able to go to the recovery menu.
I tried to flashing a fastboot but couldn't because the bootloader was locked.
After some extensive researching throughout the forum I decided to put what I gathered up
and put it to use, I tried a few different methods and came up with many errors. the conclusion is
I figured a method that worked perfectly without having the usb debug mode on.
Perquisites
(note: I only done it on the Redmi Note 3 pro, but i'm sure it will all work the same since the tools are used for all xiaomi devices)
1. Redmi Note 3 (it should work on all xiaomi devices)
2. PC with windows x64 (I did it on Windows 10 x64)
3. MiFlash_2016.03.30.exe
4. Fastboot 7.1.8 rom (get correct rom according to your device, my device is the redmi note 3 pro and use global seem to work best)
Note: Fastboot 7.2.5 Rom is now available, you can use that and skip ota modifying and flashing part:Fastboot 7.2.5 rom
5. unlocked_emmc_appsboot.mbn Recovery flashable
6. Minimal adb and fastboot (or any adb installation)
7. adb edl boot file
8. install necessary drivers
you can find majority of the files in the link below (except fastboot_edl.zip it is provided below). provided by Sudeep Duhoon
http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/unlock-bootloader-twrp-root-7-2-3-t3359492
1. first thing you want to do is put your device into fastboot mode, by holding vol down and power button together until device reboots.
it will then shows a anime image of a rabbit and droid being repaired.
since you don't have usb debugging enable, using adb commands in terminal won't recognize the device properly.
(don't worry about this, because it does in a sense recognizes your device in a sense... for me it says cannot find null or something in that manner with null)
2. what we want to do is put our device into fastboot edl mode so we can begin the process of flashing a fastboot rom.
I have provided a link for the fastboot edl boot file that runs the command automatically for you. after downloading the file,
extract it to a folder. located the folder and open edl.cmd, it will automatically put your phone into fastboot edl mode.
(As long as edl.cmd can put your device into fastboot edl mode, you are in the clear.)
3. Next is download proper fastboot rom for your device and extract the files to a foldering using 7z.
located the folder open it and go into the image folder.
4. Download unlocked_emmc_appsboot.mbn Recovery flashable, and extract it to the image folder of
your fastboot rom, it will ask you to replace click yes. if it turns up a error, extract the file to your desktop,
cut and paste the file into the image folder and click yes to replace /overwrite the file.
5. follow the step 10 only in the unlock bootloader from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66379587&postcount=3
after the flash is finish you are introduce with newly flash and unlocked device.
if the device happens to brick you can always put your device into fastboot mode.
and run the command fastboot aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn
to take yourself out the brick or try reflashing again.
there are many other great articles or fixing your bricked devices or flashing a rom.
Hello Guys i have created this thread to remove the confusion (cuz i was soo afraid) for those people who unofficially unlocked bootloader and then now wants to revert back to locked state as factory state.
There are many cases that the device got hard-bricked and only the solution is two pin method. It happens for unofficial unlock mostly I guess .
So revert back to full locked state please follow this tutorial. Its safe and 100 % working bacause i have tried and succeed
Procedure:
At first charge the phone to 50% and above (cuz flashing took half hour may be cuz i used mi flash tool beta).
Then download at first download a fastboot rom from official miui website. You can download stable as well as developer rom. I used stable though. Extract the rom. The rom will be in .tar format. Rename it to .tgz format and extract with winrar.
Then install mi flash latest version. Search other forums
Then install it. if you are having driver install problem please refer to other threads.
Then take your phone to fastboot mode. Turn off your phone then. Then press power and volume down buttom until fastboot logo comes.
Then take the phone to edl mode. Download this file first.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3775693&d=1465328762
download it and connect the phone to fastboot and the press open edl.cmd in the extracted file of the downloaded file.
Then the phone goes to edl mode.
Then open device manager. Device manager shows Qualcomm bla bla qloader bla bla.. in portss section
Right click and choose update driver. Then browse to mi flash folder (where u installed mi flash) then source and third party and qualcomm and driver and select.
And update driver.
Now open Mi Flash Tool and click on browse.
Then browse the folder where u extracted that .tgz formal fastboot file. Its good to browse till images folder in fastboot extracted file.
Then press refresh in MI Flash and it shows some device.
At the bottom right corner of MI Flash there are three options. Select clean and lock option.
And the click on flash. Then wait for some time. Mine took 30 minutes lol. I dont know why, Should be in 5 minutes
After flasing processs completed remove the usb port from pc and the press the power buttom for 15 seconds till when you can feel vibration.
Then your phone will boot in factory state with locked bootloader.
Hit Thanks it it helped you

******************Root Recovery Doogee X5 max pro*******************
Your waiting Time IS Now Finished Here is Complete Guide to Root Doogee X5 Max Pro install twrp And More,
Hit :good:
ADB & Fastboot
Before doing most things mentioned below you will need "adb" and "fastboot" installed. Two of your options are to install the Android SDK Tools or the Minimal ADB and Fastboot tool. If you are somewhat new to this I highly recommend the second one. Go here, download the latest version (1.3.1 as of this writing), and install it. When setup is complete you should have an icon for the Minimal ADB and Fastboot tool.
Note: I highly recommend you add "C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot" to your PATH variable in Windows. This way you can open a Command Prompt anywhere and use adb or fastboot.
1) Unlock Bootloader
Power on the phone and skip through all of the setup options
Go to Settings -> About device
Tap Build number five times to enable Developer options
Go to Settings -> Developer options
Enable OEM unlocking
Enable USB debugging
Plug the phone in to your PC and authorize it
Open a Command Prompt
Type adb reboot-bootloader
The phone should reboot and in a very tiny font at the bottom you should see => FASTBOOT mode
Type fastboot devices to verify that your PC sees it correctly
Type fastboot oem unlock
Press Volume Up to say Yes and wait for this to finish
Type fastboot getvar all and look for (bootloader) unlocked: yes
Type fastboot reboot
You should see your phone reboot a couple times as it erases the phone
Install twrp-
Power on the phone
You can configure your phone now or just skip through all of the setup options and do that later
Go to Settings -> About device
Tap Build number five times to enable Developer options
Go to Settings -> Developer options
Enable OEM unlocking
Enable USB debugging
Plug the phone in to your PC and authorize it
Open a Command Prompt to wherever you extracted the .img file
Type adb reboot-bootloader
The phone should reboot and in a very tiny font at the bottom you should see => FASTBOOT mode
Type fastboot devices to verify that your PC sees it correctly, rename twrp to recovery.img
type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img to flash recovery
Type fastboot reboot
Rooting-
Download BETA-SuperSU.zip and save it to the phone's internal memory or an inserted microSD card
Plug the phone in to your PC
Open a Command Prompt
Type adb reboot recovery
You should now be in twrp. Go to Install zip, find SuperSU.zip, and install it
When it finishes go to Go Back -> Reboot Phone -> No
Once the phone boots up launch SuperSU and configure it as you like
Other Solutions-
i have doogee x5 max-s (i geuss limited editon in algeria ) with mtk6735 . i do evrything and all steps but when i reboot to recovery mode i have ( no command ) in the screen .... how to fix that ? sorry for my ****ty english XD
I had the same Issue but i have found a solution!
After you have flashed the twrp recovery, dont reboot the phone! the "recovery.sh" will replace the twrp on every boot!
Just pull off the battery after flashing, disconnect usb and put the battery back in to the phone.
Now get in to the recovery by pressing volume up and power button together until the select bootmode menue appears.
select recovery with the volume up button and enter with the volume down button.
and now you should be in the twrp main menue.
i hope it works for you too!

It does not work from step 12, all the drives are correctly installed and windows recognizes the cell, the recovery image is in the internal memory and also in the sd but of the error "can not load Recovery.img". I tried all the tutorials on the net to do root and nothing worked.The flash does not recognize to pass the recovery also the installed drivers because windows recognizes the cell phone.

Flash does not pass the file in the download only option, the process does not start. I reinstalled ROM by firmware mode all ok, but the process of passing recovery on command 12 and 13 of the error message. I manually copied the recovery to the sd and internal memory but also from the error. Does not find the file speaks that it is not a command found.

Until today I could not do root on x5 max pro. In the method below even downloading the twrp when starting with the power + volume down button start with a menu in Chinese and if you start with volume up + power goes in the default recovery mode.
Same as Pitro1 I am on 16.01 update and I cannot install twrp no matter what I try.
I tried x32 and x64. I tried rebooting directly on recovery or first load system and then adb reboot recovery. I tried to format all first (now I lost my Imei and so on lol). I downgraded and updated again. Downgrading works only with 26.12 version. All others are giving me Colorado lines on the screen and nothing else...
OEM unlock, file transfer, adb, fastboot, drivers detection, are all working good. Only I cannot install twrp...
Also I cannot write nvram nor with SN Writer 2.1504 nor with Imei & SN Writer 1.7.2, MetaAP mode fails all the time...
I'm just about to send it back...

How old is your phone and what build version was it at before you started? Because this doesn't work on mine. Which of the "Android 6" ROMs did you flash to start with as I've tried flashing mine back to an earlier one in case it's something with the later stuff that my phone has come with but they either don't make a difference or they won't even boot.
I tried the method in the first post here and the phone wouldn't even boot (switch on and you get the Doogee logo in silver for a few seconds then it reboots and does the same again). I had to flash the stock ROM from NeedROM to get it working again.
I've tried flashing TWRPx32 and x64 available NeedROM both with SPFlash tools and with ADB. Generally flashing it with ADB from the command line leaves the phone in that boot-loop. If I flash it with SPFlash when you try to boot into Bootloader afterwards you get the Doogee logo in silver for a few seconds then it seems to reboot again on it's own and boot normally - you don't even get the menu to choose Fastboot, Recovery or Normal. From then on trying to boot to the Bootloader gives you the menu but choosing Recovery gives you the standard recovery.
It's almost as if something is overwriting the recovery partition with the original after I flash TWRP onto it.
Anyone got any suggestions about where I might be going wrong or a way around whatever additional security they might have put in there?
Hi. I have tried to root my x5 max pro with flash tools to load TWRP, but it always restarts normally and the TWRP does not come out. I found you and I started to try this method to load the TWRP. Does everything good, unload bootloader and load recovery, but loading the TWRP gives me error .:
Device unauthorized.
This adb's $ ADB_VENDOR_KEYS is nor set; Try adb kil-server if that seems wrong
what I do?
rooting X5 Max pro in Ubuntu 16.04
Hi all, this is my first china phone and I basically bought it only to experiment, I'm a linux power user but this is the first time I 'play' with an android OS.
thanks to multiple guides and posts on this and other forums I'm getting somewhere and learning a lot about how to manage an android OS, I'm sharing a bit of info I unovered about doing this under ubuntu but I'm also stuck and in need of guidance, please help me.
Linux specific issues:
I'm running ubuntu 16.04 LTS, installed fastboot and adb tools from ubuntu repos, with these tools and no other modification to my system I could follow the tutorial on how to unlock the OEM bootloader with adb and fastboot.
accordingly to this post about SP flash tool in linux you might need to blacklist a modem manager module in order for SP flash tool to connect to the phone, you also need to install usb development tools (package libusb-dev) and check through dmesg that your linux OS can actually properly read mediatek usb devices.
After following the above mentioned instructions (both the linux sp flash tool tutorial and the bootloader unlocking howto) I could get SP flash tool linux (multiple version) to see the phone after you connect it while SP flash is downloading the new recovery image and flash it with an ok message.
If you get stuck with a BROM error 1013 remember to start sp flash tool with root privileges.
Phone specific issues:
I can get SP flash tool to flash my phone recovery with an ok message confirmation but the phone keeps rebooting with doogee recovery and not twrp. I'm on the newest stock ROM update (20170116) as of current post date. I've been using 32 bit TWRP images from multiple sources and linux version 5.1620 of spflash tool from their website
so my questions are as following:
1) after reading other posts I think I might have to play with different versions of SP flash tool and TWRP until I get the right combination, I think I might be using 64bit spflash tool for linux to flash a 32bit rom or something like that, can anybody confirm precise version number of the stock rom, TWRP and SP flash tool that worked out for you?
2) should I try to install the whole stock ROM posted in this chinadevices thread before trying to flash only TWRP recovery? please also check the linked thread for multiple custom ROM being ported to this phone, please also note that the full stock rom this poster uploaded (it's in the "all firmware" link) contains another flashing tools with chinese instruction called MultiDownloadTool.
www.china-devices.com/forum/index.php?threads/doogee-x5-max-pro-mt6737-custom-roms.20527/
3) I don't have access to a windows installation right now, but I do have a Win10 VM under Vmware workstation 12 pro, so I could try windows version of sp flash tool, do you guys think that USB passthrough would work?

Same here. May a work around would be finding out the oem commands in fastboot. I have seen a tutorial to get them, but you have to be root: https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-discover-hidden-fastboot-commands/
I search a simple method
Why all so complicate? I am searching for a simple way to root.
For my old Doogee X5, I discovered just
update-ROOT-DOOGEE_X5.zip
Copy the zip to the micro-SD-card
Settings -> Phone info -> Update -> menu "update local" -> choose zip from micro-SD-card.
Start update.
That's all!
Now I search for such a simple solution for my new Doogee X5 MAX pro.
I do not want any methods with "volume down power", because my X5 MAX pro has the menus after "Volume down power" start in Chinese language.

Hi there,
I just tried the first file you posted, (twrp-x32-rom), and this one works for me after all previous attempts to boot up TWRP failed. Thanks for the link !
What I had tried before:
I have a relatively new X5 Max Pro, which I ordered a week ago. I updated the firmware to the newest version (20170116) using the OTA update function.
Then I tried to flash TWRP using the files from "needrom.com" which seem to have worked on older versions of the phone/firmware, but did not work for the newer versions.
I tried 32bit and 64bit TWRP versions and flashed them with SP flash tool, but when pressing Vol+/Power the phone would not boot into TWRP recovery. Insted, when selecting "Recovery" from the boot menu, the phone would show the Doogee logo in silver, then blink once, then boot up normally. When repeating this process, then phone boots into Stock recovery, indicating that the TWRP I flashed was replaced by stock recovery.
However, I just flashed the recovery.img from "TWRP LATEST" (the first file posted by Neaw) with SP flash tools and was finally able to boot into TWRP. I installed the superSU-zip 2.79 included in the link, and I am now rooted. Once again, thanks for posting this :good:

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
Peace!

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-:
1) Download mi flash tool and mi unlock tool
2) Your bootloader must be locked now so unlock it with mi unlock (Don't worry just use your mi account it will unlock successfully)
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
All the best

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.

Try downloading the lastest version from here:
https://androidmtk.com/download-qpst-flash-tool
Erase before download must be unchecked
And remember first boot does take some time so be patient a little. Hope it works!

Hi,

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!

Are you able to enter into setup wizard? If not then try the procedure I posted above using factory flash. After flashing with mi flash once again try flashing with QFIL. It's sometimes hit or miss :/

Hi,
I don`t able to enter into setup wizard, because boot-loop, so I done following:
1. mi flash factory flash-successfully
2. mi flash flash once again-successfully
3. flashing with QFIL- successfully
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!
flash failed in QFIL please help

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!!
