[ROM] MCG24.251-5 100% Stock

Flash using TWRP. This will flash all files in the MCG24.251-5 update except for recovery.
New features in this update that I've noticed:
-Marshmallow, aged to perfection in Verizon's own servers. Only one major release version obsolete, and with outdated security patches!
-WiFi calling (woooooo! Those custom roms just got another carrier-specific, unportable feature to compete with)
-The command center widget has been replaced with the Droid Turbo 2 version
Get it here: https://mega.nz/#!G1xg1aYa!fm2hUL7hDDVaxTAj_iPbtY61P-8VrQEvoOJiVsDtdho
Here's the stock recovery image if you want it: https://mega.nz/#!r1wDQRCJ!KHbo_Q6L-WE_VyB1x8W4FbT6PrerPEyn9H1C6VUAyf8
Flashing this rom updates the bootloader to a version that can communicate with the kernel to tell SafetyNet that it is unlocked, causing it to fail. Fret not, however, as there are two options to fix this:
OPTION 1: Flash the SU4TL-49 bootloader using the following TWRP package: https://mega.nz/#!6logEaIQ!q8qPJw65Upt38Hxiu1JyxErmwbgL7CBzuGzzPC0C9pQ
OPTION 2: Flash this patch made by @bhb27: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120696423
Wipe cache and dalvik/art cache after either of these options.
NOTE that these options only fix failures due to SafetyNet checking the bootloader status. It will still fail due to root, xposed and the like. There are no known consequences or side effects to either of these options, so just pick whichever one you feel like.
If you notice weird things after you flash this rom (long boots other than the first one which is supposed to be long, random reboots, etc.) try flashing the stock recovery image and factory resetting.
If you want root, flash this version of SuperSU first, then flash whatever newer version you want: https://download.chainfire.eu/751/SuperSU/
If you have trouble flashing this, try TWRP Mod 3 instead of Mod 4.

Ouch, you have almost full flash inside archive, with bootloader too... Who is the most brave, introduce yourself ))
+ mirror

I can confirm that it works on old bootloader.
I had SULT-49 5.1 installed before and I just flashed this via TWRP. I haven't taken the OTA. It works perfectly. Thank you.
PS: My bootloader now is moto-apq8084-70.95 (2016-06-29). Do you have same version after taking OTA?

Did you have to wipe the system, data and cache first like you would with a new ROM or just dirty flash it?

When in doubt, always wipe.

Hey everyone, what is your safetynet status with this rom? It's failing for me, and I can't figure out why.

It works w/o, but, IMO, better wipe, than not. You don't need extra bugs, right )

It's completing setup now, I did a wipe after I backed up my phone. It's unlocked and rooted before I flashed the zip

I don't. I don't know how I would get it since I need root access to get it, and I can't get root access without TWRP, and I have to overwrite the stock recovery to get TWRP.

Thanks for that! Did anybody try to install it right over SU4TL-44? Just in case, I'm rooted, using xposed and twrp.

I just tried using AP a few hours ago and it failed with the screen in the article. OTA with unlocked bootloader.

I am unable to install any custom OS on my redmi note 3. It always bootloops

I was using Mokee without any issue. earlier last week i tried Lineage OS and t was not loading it was just showing boot animation.
I tried to get Mokee back but it ended up with the same issue. Also on other OS. I tried with Android 6 OS and it loaded up but without SIM detection and sometimes no WIFI as well. Please Help!! Urgent

Have you tried using the advanced wipes to wipe system partition and data partition before you flash, then flash ROM+Gapps, then do the normal wipes(factory reset, wipe cache and wipe Dalvik/ART cache), then reboot?
The advanced wipes I'm talking about are not the normal wipes (factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik/ART cache) that are usually done when flashing ROMs.

What is your model number? Are you sure the ROMs you are flashing are for your specific model number? I'm not asking if they were made for Redmi Note 3, I'm asking if they were built specifically for your specific model number.

You will get experts, we just have to establish exactly what you have or haven't done and then figure out what you messed up, then we can help you fix this.
You can't just come and say
"I flashed "this" ROM or "that" ROM but it won't work"
There is a lot more to it than that. We need more information to understand exactly where your issue is, then you'll get an expert answer.
Are you sure that the Gapps you're flashing is the correct ones for your device? Have you tried flashing a smaller Gapps package? The one you used might not be correct for your hardware or might be too big to fit in your system partition. These are common causes of bootloop, especially considering the fact that all of your ROMs so far have bootlooped, are you flashing the same Gapps with each of those ROMs? If so, that could possibly explain your bootloop.

I have clean wiped everything and downloaded the official custom rom for my Redmi Note 3 and I have tried installing with/without GAPPS. Same issue. If i am not wrong , it boots android v6 and not v7(assuming) since i am using my miui 8 again. and it loaded RR v6 for me but i never had this issue before I was able to to put any Custom Rom. I use Pico GAPP btw.

Either you've got something really strange going on or its something in the ROMs. Given that the issue is present with more than one ROM, I doubt it's a ROM issue. Have you looked through the Redmi Note 3 threads to see if anyone has had the same issue? It is probably some setting you changed or some mod that you applied before you tried the new ROMs, what that could be, I don't know.
I know you said you did a full wipe but strangely, sometimes settings/variables that were changed in one ROM causes issues when flashing other ROMs and it doesnt wipe that changed setting. I've exprienced this myself on my Galaxy S3 when going from one ROM to another even with full wipes.
Can I get a link to the ROM or ROMs you're having issues with?

It is typical for users to root the device for the first time by flashing SuperSU via TWRP.
I suppose it isn't necessary if you're going to flash a custom ROM that has root built in, if the ROM doesn't gave root built in them you'll have to flash SuperSU.zip to root the device before or after flashing that ROM.

If you do all the steps to get unlocked, TWRP and root installed then there shouldn't be an issue. Have you asked other members that have your device about anything about this? They would know if there were something extra that might have missed.

I'm not familiar enough with your device to help you with that.
It might be because you've already made an unlock attempt before this and whatever you did then is interfering.
You need to look around in your device forum Q&A or find other users that have your device that have done what you are doing.

Agreed, the other rooting threads are good enough and it's not exactly difficult.
E.g. root without twrp
1. Download modified boot image
2. Fastboot boot boot.img
3. Install Magisk using using Magisk manager
4. Reboot

Cannot run TWRP after installing Magisk

Hi all,
last week I received my new OnePlus 7 and I started playing with it and I'm having a problem. I unlocked it straight away, I installed TWRP and Magisk and all was great.
Then I noticed I coulnd't enter TWRP anymore to take a full backup. I tried everything I found on the net, Volume Up+Pwr, Volume Down+Pwr, Adb and so on but nothing. So I ran TWRP from fastboot and... I f****ed my partition. Some more reasearch and I managed to have the phone back but lost the data of the past week. Why TWRP doesn't start anymore but I only see the stock recovery?
Playing some more I made that happen again and here is what I discovered:
Phone: OnePlus 7 GM1903
OS: Oxygen 9.5.8.GM57AA
TWRP: twrp-3.3.1-1-guacamoleb.img (from https://twrp.me/oneplus/oneplus7.html)
Magisk: problem started with v19.1 but repeated itself with v20.0
UPDATE: I've found someone else with the same problem https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/issues/1920
1) Start with factory defaults
2) Install TWRP via adb
3) Install Magisk via TWRP
4) Try to enter TWRP from recovery but boots to stock recovery
Can anyone help me? The feature I need the most is a full system backup

Hello,
did you follow this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...tloader-flash-twrp-root-t3954559/post80015800 ?
Please use Magisk 19.3 on your pie rom.
Is this "3.3.1-1-guacamole" your whole twrp file name? Please use the ones from mauronofrio, you'll find them here(also linked in the guide)

For TWRP I followed another guide and used the official website. The only thing that differs seems to be the twrp file. For Magisk I followed the XDA thread.

What I will do now is I'll try to follow step-by-step the TWRP guide on XDA first making sure I'm using the right twrp image, then using Magisk 19.3 and I'll post an update here.

Thanks for the update!
Yes, please use the twrp from mauronofrio, it's unified for OP7 and OP7 Pro (check file name like twrp-3.3.1-70-guacamole-unified-installer-mauronofrio.zip)and and 19.3 magisk.

Done. The partitions didn't break like it happened the first time but I still can't access TWRP. I can only access the stock recovery.
This time I have:
TWRP: twrp-3.3.1-70-guacamole-unified-installer-mauronofrio.zip
Magisk: Magisk-v19.3.zip
It's exactly like these guys https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/issues/1920

I can't access TWRP either. Did Magisk 20 cause this? I tried both versions and I can't get TWRP working.

Reading the comments looks like version 20 breaks TWRP.
Possible solution? " I've just factory resetted mine, and installed twrp-3.3.1-70-guacamole-unified-Pie-mauronofrio.img with Magisk v19.4, now everything is fine."

That's known, that on pie( 9.5.8 for example) magisk 20 has issues, so my recommendation was to use 19.3 Instead.

Something prevents twrp to stick from magisk side

Any idea what it might be or what I did to cause it? No TWRP, no party :crying:

Sorry, I'm out of ideas at the moment...

And I've just realized that the Oneplus Switch application "moves" the files, it doesn't copy them. I've just lost 5 years of pictures... And still no TWRP

I'm sad about what happened to you, friend
If you can find a solution put the topic.

I think somehow I "broke" slot A. When I put in to reboot through this slot it is the phone for TWRP, but I can't access my files.
When I select B, I lose TWRP and can access my files
That makes sense? Is there a way to fix the slots?

Can you give more details on what you are doing?
I tried to select a different slot: at the moment Slot B is selected, then loading TWRP with fastboot I start Slot A but I can't mount /data anymore. So I restart

Do you think it's best to answer this topic or the other?

I have the same problem as yours. I've tried countless scenarios, followed tutorials on XDA and Youtoube but can't make TWRP work.
Out of curiosity I restarted the device through slot A after flash zip from magisk. My phone has accessed TWRP, but I cannot access my files. When I restart from slot B I have the opposite. Twrp doesn't work, but my files are accessible.
So I believe I somehow "broke" slot A. I just don't know how I did it or how to fix it.

how can i flash zips like gapps

obviously pixel 4a doesnt have twrp so,
ive tried all the free apps that let you flash zips but they dont work, and adb sideload gapps isnt working. i have rooted with canary magisk.
im stuck

Most roms for this device are packaged with gapps baked in. What are you trying to flash? Maybe if your more specific, someone here can give the assist.

I'm trying to flash the Opengapps pico zip on the resurrection remix nogapps build. My device is rooted with magisk canary, but when I use adb sideload, I get an error. So the zip doesn't install.

What's the error you're getting with adb sideload?

error says signature verification failed, error 21.
if that is not helpful I can try sideload it again and get the exact wording of the error
