Hello everyone
i want to flash the new beta version with updater app on my phone and i'm in global stabel 8.0.1.0. Did i need to unlock my bootloader ? because in miui forum didn't mentioned that i really need to do it.
no, i went from suspicious shop rom to global dev beta without bootloader unlock.

If I want to unlock the official way, is it only the Chinese Dev ROM that works? How do I install this ROM without bricking my device if my bootloader is locked?
With Updater App and Recovery Rom. After that unlock bootloader and your RN3Pro is free
The Updater App always gave Rom not verified error for me but I managed to flash China developer Rom with Miphone20151028 Tool and then the Miunlock finally worked.

I'm curious about how to unlock bootloader using official way on rn3p in case I've already unlocked it the unofficial way. I'm waiting for xiaomi to allow me to unlock my bootloader for 3 weeks now and nothing...so i want to unlock it using unofficial way, but I'm curious is it possible to unlock it officially after that?

I have done it the official way.
1. You get the SMS saying you can unlock.
2. Download the miunlock app.
3. Start the program and follow the instructions.
4. If you get stuck at 50% while unlocking try with China stable ROM.
Not everyone is successful in unlocking on global stable.
I couldn't and had to flash China ROM.
If you still have problems wait 2 days and then it should work.
No idea why but for most it works this way when all else fails.
It's easy enough just annoying that the process is not automated with getting the approval etc.

Got my SMS and did unlock, phone said unlocked but it is not, will not let me try again, says words to the effect that it does not need unlocking already done, what a stupid idea this was from xiaomi
I succesfully unlocked my bootloader lastweek via the unoffical way. I flashed a Xiaomi.eu Multi rom with my own language. I removed the emmc file.
Today I received a SMS from Xiaomi that my unlock request has been approved. Now I want to use the offical way to unlock the bootloader, does anyone know if I need to relock the bootloader?

Just reflash China/Global stable rom via miflash. It will relocked automatically. Then proceed to unlocking using China Developer ROM.

Are you sure about this? Won't flashing stock ROM on an unofficially unlocked bootloader brick the device? Or the brick happens only if you flash MIUI ROMs through TWRP?

Brick only happens when you flash miui rom with twrp.
If you flash it using miflash with proper procedure, it will work as I have tested and done it before.

Lets say I unlock it the official way,and later I flash Miui using miflash does it lock bootloader again or no( which would be very weird to me if it does). It's all to confusing, I'm android user 4 years now but first time Xiaomi user and this is all weird to me. Thanks

I'm not sure about that. But i think it won't relocked back as you need to use some fastboot commands to relock the bootloader again. I might be wrong though.
But i suggest you to flash miui rom using the newly modified twrp(which will not require you to modify/flash boot.img) If AND ONLY If you unlock your bootloader OFFICIALLY.
I ordered my phone through gearbest and it already had the bootloader unlocked so all i did was flash twrp and install custom rom. Now i want to go back to Miui but Santhosh CM13 locked my bootloader. How do i go about unlocking it? The unofficial unlocking steps assume you're on Miui already. Any help would be appreciated.
U can use the fastboot edl method ... Use official unlock to unlock bootloader once in fastboot mode and it will work.. if u have permission .. then just download fastboot miui rom n flash using mi flash

Run MiFlash with Stable or Dev fastboot rom, your choice. It doesn't require unlocking bootloader.

i accidentally re locked bootloader while flashing miui through fastboot method but unable to unlock bootloader due to xiaomi's stupid server issue. I want to flash havoc pie rom. Do you guys have any issues due to unofficially unlocked bootloader? Any specific suggestion you guys wanna give?

About 1.5 yrs ago officially. I have unlocked 2,3 times after that. Currently there is a issue " current account cannot unlock this device" & no one have solution, everybody are waiting for fix. So I am thinking about unofficial unlock.

Try on linux OS. Some say u have better chance to unlock on linux os.
They failed on windows but linux very fast. No wait is required.
If u have linux installed then good.

I'm not sure.. best to keep bootloader unlocked to be safe
I managed to flash my vodafone branded global mi 10 using the xiaomi tool v2 to the stock unbranded global rom without unlocking the bootloader. Maybe you can do it as well without unlocking it.
