[UPDATED][FULL DEPTH IN GUIDE] FOR FLASHING MIUI8 OFFICIAL BETA!

                                                                    [UPDATED]

[For those who are on stable rom and didnt rooted their phone and neither unlocked bootloader,can also flash miui8 beta rom,scroll down to the end,added the procedure there]

Finally after a long wait of time[months lol] miui8 official beta is released yesterday for our device[redmi note 3 sd].In this thread we will talk about 'what is beta rom' and how can we flash it.So lets get started.


QUESTION:- What is beta official rom[miui 8]

"Beta rom is just exact copy of miui official stable rom,thats only for beta tasters but gradually now a days anyone can flash it with few knowledge.unless its same but its not fully stable"


                                    
      BEFORE PROCEEDING TO FLASHING PROCEDURE KEEP THAT IN MIND THAT NEITHER ME OR ANY DEV IS RESPONSIBLE FOR BRICKS OR BOOT LOOPS SO PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK,AND IF YOU POINT THE FINGER AT ME FOR MESSING UP YOUR DEVICE,I WILL LAUGH AT YOU.


                                      STEPS FOR FLASHING MIUI8 BETA ROM


First of all there is 3 ways you can flash or upgrade your device to miui8 beta rom:-

• BY FASTBOOT[MI FLASH PC]
• BY UPDATER APP
• BY TWRP RECOVERY

So lets jump and understand how can we flash with these methods

1. BY FASTBOOT METHOD,MI FLASH [PC]

Yes,you can flash miui8 beta with pc,mi flash tool or fastboot flash.

REQUIREMENTS-

--> Unlocked bootloader

--> PC running on 64bit (u can use 32bit as well but it will show less storage error)

--> USB cable

--> Miui8 rom .tgz file

--> Adb and fastboot drivers.

--> Mi flash tool

--> Brain!

Before flashing ill suggest you too take backup of everything.bcz it will erase all your user data and apps installed so take backup.

                                               One more thing you can flash it without unlocking bootloader as well by EDL fastboot method,link http://en.miui.com/thread-235865-1-1.html but id suggest you to unlock bootloader and then flash simply with mi flash tool.

                                                                                 If you dont have unlocked bootloader and you wanna unlock then visit this thread,and unlock it.

NOW MOVING ON STEPS-

First of all this works on both 16/32gb model.

Steps for Flashing fastboot ROM[miui8]:-

 Using MiFlash

• Open MIUI ROM Flashing Tool.

• Turn off the device. Press the Volume– key and the Power button at the same time to enter Fastboot mode (bootloader). Then connect the device to the Windows PC/laptop via a micro USB cable.

• Double click on the downloaded ROM file to decompress it. Open the file folder for the decompressed ROM pack, and copy its path on the computer.

• Decompress the MIUI ROM flashing tool downloaded in Step 1, and double click on it to install (if there is security warning, select 'Run'). After installation is completed, open MiFlash.exe and paste into the address bar the ROM file folder path copied in the last step. Click on the first button (circled out in yellow) to Refresh, and MiFlash should automatically recognize the device. Then click the second button (circled out in red) to flash the ROM file to the device.

• Wait until the progress bar inside MiFlash turns fully green, which means the ROM has been successfully installed. Then your device should automatically boot to the new version.

• If you see the following image after rebooting, it means that you have succeeded in flashing MIUI fastboot ROM.

Required Firmware with Download Links:-

• ADB and Fastboot Drivers

• MIUI ROM Flashing Tool head over there and download mi flash tool.
• miui8 tgz rom[fastboot]

Precautions:-

• Flashing a fastboot ROM will erase all data on your phone, so remember to take a backup.
• Make Sure that you enable USB Debugging.
• Both Methods require an unlocked bootloader.
• Both the methods will relock your bootloader.
• Install ADB and fastboot drivers properly.
• Only use the firmware meant for your device else it may get hard bricked.
• Have Patience :)

THATS ALL IF YOU WANNA FLASH BY PC :)

2. BY UPDATER APP[FLASHING MIUI8]

Its more likely upgrading not flashing,if you wanna upgrade to miui8 then simply flash any previous miui7 global dev version and after it you will simply get miui8 beta official update for more visit official miui site. http://en.miui.com/thread-307541-1-1.html

3.BY TWRP RECOVERY

"Unlocking bootloader unofficialy and officially"

First of all we need to unlock boot loader..there's 2 way to unlock your bootloader--

1.official way{recommended}

2.unofficial way{risky and kinda tricky}

--OFFICIAL WAY--

well i suggest you to use 64 bit pc because miunlock tools works well with 64bit!

STEPS:-

• first you need to apply here for getting permission from xiaomi  http://en.miui.com/unlock/ it will take 6-7 days for getting approval{open link in desktop version}

• after getting approval download adb drivers and mi pc suite setup[link down there].Intsall both.open usb debugging in your phone and connect it to pc for once.After it reboot your pc.

• after it download "mi unlock tool"[link down there] and extract zip.Open it and login with same account which you used to send request for unlocking your boot loader.after that it will show a screen like connect your phone to pc.

• now,go to settings in your phone and enable usb debugging option and oem device unlock option.after that switch off your phone and press vol- and power button until a bunny appears on your screen.

• you're in fastboot mode now connect your device with pc via cable and hit unlock button!it will take 1-2 mins and your bootloader is succesfully unlocked.

• https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxY6WIS8vIzAWHNOdzlfU2xDM0U/view?usp=sharing [MI UNLOCK TOOL]

THINGS TO KEEP IN YOUR MIND:-

• You need a active internet connection for unlocking.

• If your device is not connecting when you're in fastboot mode then install drivers properly.

• Use 64bit pc{recommended}

50% ERROR ISSUE OR NOT VERIFY YOUR ACCOUNT ISSUE:-

well everything is easy huh?nope because while unlocking your gonna face 50% error issue mostly times. for fixing that follow below steps[not 100% sure thats gonna work]

• in my opinion wait for 6-7 days after getting permission bcz of mi servers.it will take sometime to upgrade their servers and add your device in list so be patient.

• try daily.never give up just try[got my phone unlocked on 6th day as well :P]

• before trying. go to i.mi.com and sign up with same account there use your phone number all time to login. locate your device from there and make sure your device is showing "online" there.

• for locating your device open your mi account in your phone and go to cloud option and enable find device.

• http://en.miui.com/thread-275367-1-1.html

      Submit a complaint to "nasir sk" on the link above..with ur mi uid your mi verison and unlock        tool version.

• remove all security locks,pins,patterns,fps before trying (Y)

• never give up just try daily and be patient (Y)

--UNOFFICIAL WAY--

http://en.miui.com/thread-253680-1-1.html head over to this thread.

Again im saying that unofficial way is tricky as well as risky. You can potentially brick or bootloop your device so keep that in mind before unlocking unofficially.

"Difference between twrp,twrp cofface,twrp alka[flashing kenzo]

As we are rooted our redmi note 3 earlier and flashed twrp,Now its time to understand difference between twrp[official],twrp[cofface] and twrp[alka].

1.TWRP OFFICIAL-

Twrp official is the same recovery we have used to flash super su and lazy flasher earlier.Its official team win recovery that can flash any roms.but less secure in terms of taking backup and less in features.

2.TWRP COFFACE-

Twrp cofface is a modded twrp.Quite handy in terms of reverting back to miui roms without flashing any patched boot img you can easily revert back to your stock miui.

3.TWRP ALKA-

Twrp alka is a modded twrp as well quite handy in flashing cm based roms and marshmallow based roms. in which there are many chances of losing imei,baseband and etc.
