Been struggling for 2 days.
Want to install Lineage os 16 for Redmi Note 5
forum.xda-developers.com
I've unlocked the bootloader
Activated usb debugging
Installed ADB drivers
But I get Failed Anti-rollback error in command prompt when entering flash command
bump
Assuming it fails on flashing recovery, instead of flying directly boot into it instead.
>fastboot boot recovery.img
From inside TWRP flash the recovery either by moving the recovery file onto the phone through ADB or sideload it.
I'm a beginner with all these new words. Sideload it?
I also have installed on my pc the MiFlash Tool, is this useful, can I flash twrp with it?
Install adb/fastboot commands if you haven't yet forum.xda-developers.com
One you got that installed, shutdown your phone and start it in fastboot mode by holding down the volume down button and power button. If you do that successfully you should see the Xiaomi mascot dissecting the android logo and big blue letters saying 'fastboot'. Now connect the phone to your PC and open a command prompt and type in 'fastboot devices'. Your device should show up, if it doesn't you haven't properly given it adb debug rights.
From there you can try flashing twrp or boot into it. >fastboot flash recovery recovery-image.img
This is what I get when typing fastboot devices
2f6c09c fastboot
And after I try flashing recovery image I get this:
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'recovery' (36752 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.815s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: Anti-rollback check failed)
finished. total time: 0.817s
Okey, and what if you try to boot into twrp instead? (see )
Completely forgot that I can boot into recovery mode by phone
I've entered Mi-Recovery 3.0
Have 3 options/
Reboot
Wipe
Connect MIAssistant
Yeah that shit's useless. From a simple google I figured out that if you want to flash TWRP onto this phone you first need to boot into twrp via fastboot, then flash twrp onto the phone from within twrp. Imma close this thread now because I feel like I'm wasting my time, good luck.
>But I get Failed Anti-rollback error in command prompt when entering flash command
Flash the anti-anti-rollback in fastboot, and then TWRP.
Then your ROM and optionally Magisk for root.
Yes, just flash anti-anti rollback first.
Not sure how it took you 2 days withotu finding this out: Your search engine or the miui forums would also point you to that if you had looked the error message or keywords from it up.
>anti-anti-rollback
Confused. Where do I get that?
Either of these should work. Well, at least I think so. I got it from the MIUI forums but I don't remember the exact post.

Isn t this just for whyred? I have vince
Either the anti-rollback works or surely there's something for vince.
Figures you want a vince-specific TWRP though.
From what I've read the OrangeFox Recovery works with unofficial lineage os 16
Entered:
fastboot flash antirbpass dummy.img
Messages seemed ok:
\Minimal ADB and Fastboot> fastboot flash antirbpass dummy.img
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'antirbpass' (8 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.002s]
writing 'antirbpass'...
OKAY [ 0.001s]
Then used this command
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Messages were ok
Rebooted phone and entered recovery but it's the same old one from xiaomi
you gotta send a last final command "fastboot boot recovery.img"
managed to install official TWRP.
So now I wipe everything, then flash lineage os then gapps?
yes
which? just cache and data?
Error 7
This device is whyred
Guess I ll try the whyred version, official one
Kek
Weird
I bought a Redmi Note 5 (plus)
Lineage seems to be working now my phone is Note 5 Pro
wtf
