few questions - Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers

If i want to flash MIUI rom via twrp should i flash the fastboot rom or recovery rom ? Also do i need to flash lazy flasher after that, what is the purpose of LF after all? And lastly will i get OTA updates on flashed rom or manually update it ? oh and ill be going for miui 10 any suggestions for kernel to prolong battery ?

TWRP is custom recovery and that's what recovery ROM are for and fastboot ROM are for flashing via fastboot.
Yes, you'll get updates. But make sure to use correct recovery because some recovery won't be able flash update and instead you'll have to dirty flash the whole ROM.
MIUI already has best battery optimization, imo you don't need to flash any custom kernel but if you want to then you can. I haven't used MIUI since June so can't tell which kernel will fit perfect for your need.
Here is information about lazy flasher

[Q] Does cyanogenmod kernel come with custom recovery?

I was wondering whether the cyanogenmod kernel comes with a custom recovery because every tutorial says after flashing boot.img in fastboot mode, reboot into custom recovery and flash the ROM. So, I can only assume the kernel installs a custom recovery. Is this right?
Sorry i'm new to this
Yep , it comes with CWM

[ME176CX] Kernel Version stay at CN-3.2.23.201 !!

Last week my K013 bricked , so I follow the tutorial below to unbrick:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/memo-pad-7/general/unbrick-asus-memopad-7-me176c-cx-t2970049
when I sideload CN-3.2.23.182 ROM , I have some interested in it and OTA to the CN-3.2.23.201 Version..........
but when I flash back to WW-182 ROM , the problems come
--the Kernel Version stay at CN-3.2.23.201 !
So the recovery Version is CN and will brick if it get any WW OTA
I try several way but not work
here is what I try:
acording to the tutorial
http://forum.xda-developers.com/memo-pad-7/general/unbrick-asus-memopad-7-me176c-cx-t2970049
1 .I flash into CN-182 ROM but Kernel Version still CN-201
2. flash into WW-182 ROM but Kernel Version still CN-201
3. flash into CN-182 ROM and then flash into WW-182 ROM......still no work
4. flash via IntelAndroid-FBRL-07-24-2015.zip to flash.....still no work , the CWM recovery cannot replace that CN recovery , it change back to CN recovery as soon as it restart
5. I also try
http://forum.xda-developers.com/memo-pad-7/general/asus-me176c-cx-unlock-bootloader-t3315603
but it's not work on early version
Is there any way that I could flash my K013 Kernel?

Flash Stock ROM

Can I use TWRP flash stock ROM ?
Thanks
No you can't. It'll brick your phone. But there's a custom TWRP maybe called ZSL or something else which can flash stock ROM and bypass the security option.

The recovery is zcx to be correct. I'd like to say that i already updated miui rom with twrp, all i did was downloading recovery rom from miui site and use the updater app included in miui rom. The only downside is i lost twrp and root but flash them after upgrade and everything was back to normal!!

MIUI 10 flashing twrp, root and rom guide required

Hello,
I'm lookig for a guide how to twrp, root and install custom rom, on my Mi5 miui 10 global stable.
I'm not newbe I did a lot of flashing on my previus phones Nexus and others. But this time I feel lost. I sit on miui 10 global stable. When I try to to flash twrp I get reroll to mi recovery every single time. All guides I found in the Internet are dedicated to older android versions. Xiaomitool don't help too.
Can someone point me to the right direction? It is time to change rom on my Mi5 finally to give him boost b4 I buy something new.
Best regards

Your bootloader is unlocked, right?
Then you need reboot to fastboot mode and flash latest official twrp via fastboot.
Like
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <path to twrp.img>
Have you tried it that way?

Bootloader is unlocked.
I did it that way but after twrp is installed I reboot and there is no twrp available. Only mi recovery.
To make it easier...
I would like to:
Flash twrp
Flash magisk and root
Flash firmware (why i need this?) Havoc os asks to flash it but I don't know why.
Flash havock os and gapps
Flash some mods for camera and sound
I don't understeand why twrp can't be flashed and I have no idea what is modified firmware for? Do I need this?
Thanks for your time
Try the the xiaomi eu rom guide .
I think you may need its custom bootloader , not the actual rom.
Than flash the firmware required for your custom rom and reboot directly to recovery again from twrp than rom and gapps , I hope that helps
Hi, i had the same problem, try this:
1. Flash twrp as usual(fastboot flash recovery twrp.img and then fastboot reboot)
2. When rebooting, you have to enter at recovery (vol up + power) . Don't allow phone to boot! In TWRP official page, on installation instructions , they say after installation you must enter in recovery to allow TWRP patch recovery rom, because some Roms after boot reinstall original recovery.
3. Now you should have TWRP installed.
If you do
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
and then do
fastboot boot twrp.img
It's simpler and it will boot to recovery and patch the ROM to be permanently installed.

First,fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
and then no reboot your phone, just to hold the key combo (vol up + power), and then you can enter the twrp mode once because the recovery will be changed when your phone has rebooted.
But you can use the only once twrp mode to install the zip .
If you just want to use MIUI 10, you will flashboot twrp everytime when you need twrp to do something.
PS: Forgive me pool English.

Is it possible to flash stock ROM with TWRP?

I have the LOS ROM installed and while I love it, I love wifi calling even more.
TWRP is installed. Is it possible to flash the stock ROM with TWRP?
I searched....
I don't see why not. Then again I haven't used twrp is years.
I was able to flash a rom based of the stock rom, very easy
