Download a fully working version of Red Wolf custom recovery v026 based on TWRP v3.2.1-0 for Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Qualcomm Snapdragon and Redmi Note 4X (all codename Mido). This third-party recovery sports more advanced features compared to the original TWRP including the ability to protect the recovery using a password. The best of all, it also features the ability to survive from MIUI OTA update mechanism which is very useful for many users avoiding the procedure of flashing full ROM package.
Before you download and flash this custom recovery, please make sure your phone variant is the Snapdragon version of Redmi Note 4. The phone codename is Mido. The Redwolf recovery download-able from this page is not for Redmi Note 4 MTK – the MediaTek variant with codename Nikel. Flashing the wrong build of recovery to a wrong device will surely brick the device.
