From Miui 7.1.3.0 (eu) To Dev

[LordWaldemar]

Hello,

I recently bought a Redmi 3 and flashed it to an EU ROM from tradingshenzen.com (ROM - MIFLASH CUSTOM ROM), I hope it's in english for people from other countries). In short, it gives you a package with Qualcomm Drivers, Miflash and the ROM itself with a few .BATs that I haven't found in other ROMs yet.

The thing worked fine, update works, can finally choose my country etc., but I want to unlock my bootloader and this doesn't work with this ROM, the unlock software from Xiaomi doesn't recognise my account on the device. Now I think I have to go back to the China ROM or developer ROM, but how with a locked bootloader?

The updater on the phone itself crashes while checking the file I've downloaded from xiaomi.eu.

Thanks, I unlocked my bootloader now but I can't get TWRP running. I have to execute two BAT files but they don't recognise the phone when its bootet (ADB and fastboot enabled) and when I do it in fastboot the phone reboots after the 1st file, can't boot completely and I can't execute the 2nd file.

EDIT: I went back to 7.1.3.0 now because the latest global developer ROM seems to take forever to boot and I can't activate WiFi :/

EDIT 2: Running latest global dev now, I think I installed TWRP via fastboot but I can't enter it.

Stock recovery replaces the twrp you flash....you have to modify boot.img via android image kitchen then flash twrp.

Should I "cook" the twrp img? From the instructions I thought I'd have to cook the one of MIUI, but that one didn't flash while the phone was powered on.

No you need to cook boot.img from miui rom not TWRP follow this thread (http://)en(dot)miui(dot)com/thread-249666-1-1.html ( cant post Links...)and flash newly created boot.img via fastboot mode

Thanks again, just to get this clear, I have to cook the boot.img of the fastboot ROM, then flash the ROM via miflash and then I can install TWRP via fastboot?

If you are on miui rom now then you can flash boot.img file only no need to flash full rom

How? (Sorry for my asking but I've had enough of try'n'error )

After you done your cooking... Boot in Fastboot Mode type this command " fastboot flash boot Image.img" where "IMAGE" is the file name
