This ROOT method is for INDIAN or GLOBAL version ONLY. If you want to try it on any other version try it at your OWN RISK. most of the Mi3 ROMs are GLOBAL version. but CHINESE and TD version are different. so don't try to root those two version with this method.
Check the version of your ROM and download the rooting file accordingly.
ROOTING MI3 ON MIUI v6.3.9.0(more detailed and neat text will follow as soon as i get some time. this is just rough draft)
i searched a lot and found out that there were so many users who were facing bootloop issue on most of the rooting mehtods. this is by far the best method (or file) that i fiud and i have tested it two times and i haven't faced any issue at all.
steps from 1 to 4 are exactly same like on MIUI v5. just apply "update.zip" from settings-update menu (see the remaining post for more detailed instructions with pics)
after that you need to reboot
and then reboot again but in recovery. flash super su zip.
after that you need to download and install super su from play store. or just install it from the super su zip by opening it and locating supersu apk.
video is being uploaded as we speak. it will take some time for the video to upload as my internet connection is slow and video size is almost 1gb.
i am uploading "update.zip" and sharing link to super su zip right now.
update.zip is in the attchments below and and you can also download it from google drive from HERE(Having issue while uploading on xda. Will try again later. Download from google drive for now. )

IMPORTANT NOTES (MUST READ)
NOTE 1: Rooting and unrooting doesn't result in loss of any data. I have rooted and unrooted version 18 and then again rooted version 23 without any data loss. However always make a backup of your important data before doing any such stuff. Just to be on safer side.
NOTE 2: for some people rooting breaks OTA UPDATES but for some it doesn't. To update your phone you can simply unroot it and update it and root it again. Doesn't take much time to unroot.
NOTE 3 : developer ROM is not available for all countries. That's why this method is used for for rooting.
NOTE 4 : This method only roots your device. It doesn't flash any custom recovery.
NOTE 5 : About warranty. Like i said developer version doesn't void warranty but rooting does. Not all Mi4 version have developer version ROM. AFAIK only two version of MI3 has developer ROM. Global version has no developer ROM.
NOTE 6 : if unrooting will get you your warranty back? All depends on how much the xiaomi will dig into your phone to avoid giving you warranty. Even the files you delete are not always deleted from your phone. Its pretty easy to get most of them back or know what you had stored on your device. Lot of stuff like that. But i am pretty sure XIAOMI won't go james bond over your device to keep you from claiming warranty. Lot of people even with rooted and custom ROM claim warranty. You just need to be smart enough to know how.
DIsclaimers
SOURCE
This source is for Philippines Forums but as WCDMA Philippines, WCDMA India, WCDMA HK, WCDMA Taiwan, WCDMA Singapore and WCDMA Malaysia uses same ROM version and have same BUILD NUMBER. it works on Indian and other same builds. personally tested these files on my INDIAN MI3 for v15, v18 and v23, rooting and unrooting. To check for yourself you can visit the official MIUI website here (http://en.miui.com/download-101.html#166) and see for yourself.
once again rooting procedure is not my work. just hsaring what is available on public domain. rooting of MI3 on MIUI v6.3.9.0 source can be found here
ALSO this is not my work. This is the simplest method that i have found so far to ROOT Mi3. I tried to search it here on XDA forums, didn't found it. So i shared it. If anyone has any objection or i am breaking any RULES do let me know so i can act accordingly. :good:
thanks a lot.. was waiting for this..

Wow why make simple complicated??? Just go to miui website and download developer ROM. There's even instructions on there to tell you how to install. Once done, you're rooted.and ROM gets updated every 2 weeks or so.
Just make sure to choose right ROM for your phone (wdcma for me ).

No data is lost. I have tried it on my dad's Mi3. No data was lost during rooting and unrooting. But always make a backup before doing such stuff as you never know what might go wrong.

Developer ROM version is not available for all countries. Its only available for one or two versions. All other countries have no developer version. Will have to check to make sure but i think global version has no developer version and only Chinese version ROM has developer version. All version except chinese and TD have the same updates and same version number. And those version have no developer ROM available.

Hi All,
i have been trying to root mine for a while and found the answers to all the questions are all over the place so i thought i would put them into one place for the less experienced people such as my self. All info is valid as of todays date that i am aware of (10/4/2012)
1. Is the tablet rootable?
The sony tablet S is rootable if your build is below #10. AKA kernel 10 issue
2. Can you change back your kernel/build once on #10 to get root
No, although there are some reports of random build/kernel changes after a reboot. if you notice this i suggest rooting WITHOUT rebooting.
3. Will a factory or any other "reset" turn back my kernel/build to below #10
No, see number 2
4. Are there dates for when a workaround on build/kernel #10 will be available.
No, bare in mind the guys here at XDA dont get anything but donations and do the work FREE and in their OWN time. I would love to make someone just as much as the next guy, but they have jobs. so unless you are going to pay their bills and wages for a while, best to let them do it in their own time.
5. is there a more "for dummies" type tutorial on how to use Condi's AIO tool
Not that i have seen, and to be honest i think we could use one. but do note i am sure Condi has mentioned before his tool is designed to be used by experienced users. Condi may be able to confirm this if he reads my thread. please dont go hassling his if he doesnt.
6. When is ICS coming out.
Pick a date in your calendar and check back then. no one has any dates yet that i am aware of and i have googled my backside off trying to find it. Note though, there was some sort of release although the file wasnt there for ICS in the mexico region. read into that what you will.
7. Can you Root the Tablet from an application on the Tablet (like Gingerbreak for Xperia play) if you don't have access to a Computer.
For the time being NO. Thanks to lloytizzle for that one.
8. Will the new version of the AIO tool (2.6) from Condi root my kernel #10 tablet .
No.
No need to post replies here unless you are confirming or correcting my current finds.
The intention of this post is to save you some time reading through mass amounts of posts and google searches to find nothing YET is possible to deal with the #10 issue.
i will update this post if i find anything and will of course take note of any updates from people such as condi etc.
Q: Can you Root the Tablet from an application on the Tablet (like Gingerbreak for Xperia play) if you don't have access to a Computer.
A: For the time being NO.

Not for the moment - NO...
JAVA
Hi!
My Question regards to the rooting process point 7 which is:
Choose YES for sign new custom update
"JAVA required - if you dont have, then install it, and manually run 'Sign' function)"
What does it mean "JAVA required", is it this: http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp
And what does it mean "manually run 'Sign' function" and what will happen if I just restart the rooting process after I have installed JAVA instead of manually run sign function?
Thank you for your answer!
I was on Android 3.2 With Kernel #10 on my Tablet S and was able to flash back to Kernel #5 with OTA via recovery, root with AIO, and install prerooted ICS.

You download the zip of the OTA you want to flash on to an SD card, then you reboot your tablet holding down the Vol - Up key to enter recovery. Then you choose to update from Zip on SD card and flash it.
You just need to make sure the OTA you're flashing is not Kernel 10.

Anything later than 3.2.1 kernel 9, i.e 3.2.1 kernel10 and any ICS have been patched (fixed by Sony) so that we CAN NOT use that exploit to gain Root access. We have been waiting for a new patch for atleast 4 months and TBH it is not looking good.

Correct OTA to flash?
Hey Guy's,
Thanks for your help, it's much appreciated !!
Could you please tell me how I can see what kernel build these posted OTA's have ?
Or can you please point me to the correct OTA to flash my tablet with so it does become an 3.2.1 no build 10?
My tablet version is a SGPT114FR/S FR5 16GB + 3G
If I"m correct , this should be the correct procedure to go to rooted ICS in my case :
- go from 3.2k10 to 3.2.1k(no10) like Sentinel169 mentioned above
- Install ADB drivers
- Root with AiO tool
- Create Rooted ICS with AiO , then flash to tablet (video made by BlueChipJ)
The only thing I haven't figured out yet is when in this procedure needs 'rescue backdoor' to be installed? Or gets it automaticly installed when the rooted ICS is created ?
Again thank you all for the help.
Grtzzz..

I THANK YOU ALL !!!
Please send me a PayPal account that is used to support all the great minds who made this possible.
Now just hoping that if everybody who rooted their Sony S, will deposit a small amount, all you DEV's keep motivated, and this project just keeps getting better and better !!!

Yes mate, it Seems a bit more responsive for sure and battery seems to last a bit longer too.. Just the third day but battery lasting more I am sure as I lost only about 4% at night (with 3g on), when previously I use to lose around 10%.
Let's hope we get 4.3 or 4.4 soon.

Battery backup seems to have improve a lot with this update:
This is when I am using my phone with 3g always on (but for 6 hours at night) and 6 emails always on sync.
Don't play games though so that might be the reason for such good battery life.

@hardik190 since you are already doing flashing why not just download the latest firmware from samsung-updates.com then flash thru odin? after that you can root.Also if your recovery is custom and not stock your status will always be custom even with triangle away,

their support team helped me the first time I rooted, my problems came from internet connectivity, kept loosing it during their root process
my mega isn't in front of me to tell you which version but it's the one from metro
also you have to keep your eye on the phone and the computer, there might be permission notices on the phone and some disconnect reconnect notices on the computer,

Twrp is good but kingo is one click root thru windows. No need to go into download mode. No binary count increase or system status change to custom. However I think samsung had patched the vulnerability on the latest firmware thus kingo no longer works. Kingo worked on older fw.

Can someone explain this-
What about the text in Red Color?
Never seen it before on my Mega, I hope it is not related to Knox in any what way.

I got my towelroot on nice and tight, because I had a loose towelroot once and it fell of and crashed my phone.
This will be what the G900F international version got about two weeks ago. People report better performance, but it's all unverified claims like always around here. My guess is, and it's just a guess, that this will close the towelroot kernel exploit and get pushed as 'performance' so people update which is a good thing since technically it could be exploited for bad scary things!
edit: The official documentation from T-Mobile is live: http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-10398 -- and nothing worth reporting. Still lists VoLTE as new but that was the previous update.
ok i just did the up date with mobile odin pro and after reboot i still have towel root working so that is a good thing now to see what is this performance up grade.oh when you do the up date you will need to run su to update binary again.
Put the .tar file SD card. or phone storage
Open Mobile Odin pro.
Scroll down to open file. Press it.
Chose the .tar file.
Checked Enable EverRoot and Inject Superuser.
I choose to wipe dalvik cache which is optional.
Clicked flash firmware and that's it!
you will also need to download the bootloader+modem tar and flash them with odin-3.09 from pc.link to tar are here make sure you use the G900T for t-mobile
Good luck.

Could somebody point me to the mobile odin pro instructions to keep towel root? i have searched and searched and cannot find that thread with the instructions to do so... I would greatly appreciate it.

Performance update. It's the same thing the G900F got a while back. This actually isn't too long of a wait...good job tmobile.
For anyone who updated, what's the total RAM available in the task manager? NF6 was 1.81 GB, the international NG2 update (and ktoonsez new update) have 1.67, apparently more RAM is dedicated to the GPU now. I haven't really noticed a difference when ktoonsez included that change...

No, the ROM contains the OF6 bootloader and will likely cause a hardbrick if flashed on any other variant as stated in the caution note at the top of the OP.

What I mean to ask is can I flash the rooted version using Odin with stock recovery?
Can I use a 3 minit mod with this rom? I tried using a custom dialer and it failed. I know this rom is mostly stock so probably not but I just wanted to check and make sure before flashing.
Is it possible to upgrade firmware from DOB1 to FOF6?
Total noob question here -
I would like to remain on Android 5.0 given arter97 has made it possible for xposed to be installed on it (not yet on 5.1.1) but was wondering if it is recommended to upgrade the firmware/modem/etc.. to FOF6? Is it possible?
thanks for this
Guys. I'm new to the T-Mobile version. My phone I just bought used is already on 5.1.1. Can I downgrade via odin to NE5, root, then update to OB1 5.0, then follow the instructions to install OF6 is the instructions thread?
Also, I'm a little confused by the language in the OP. Does installing this ROM via FF trip Knox or not?
Rom works great but I thought that og6 update had the stagefright fix? For some reason my install is vulnerable and today the code to run the exploit was released.

Good morning Muniz_ri long time follower Thank you for all your time and hard work... Muniz_ri I was a G900T user and had to switch to G900A for coverage reasons... @muniz_ri I'm currently on a S6 ported rom 5.1.1 and the baseband is currently OBI(the rom is great but there are still a few bugs that are being worked out) until then I need a fully stable Rom for work.. I installed the OG6 Deodexed rom via FF as directed everything booted fine except that I have no network (I got the usual sim error from Tmo and disabled wifi calling) but after doing so I got another error that read no sim card or to insert sim card. At first I thought that I had to put in the AT&T apn I tried several to no avail...
Would you mind telling me how you got the G900T to work on G900A network, it would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks in advance for your help everyone

This is one of a few errors / bugs I've been experiencing since I've (clean) flashed the stock deodexed rom. The first being Google drive & Google play services forcing on me during setup. It occurs directly after signing into my Google account making it nearly impossible to continue. I can record this when another phone becomes available. The security issues can get shorty appeased my simply restarting my phone. But about 5 minutes or so afterwards, it's back again. Anyone else experienced this?

Before Starting This Process Get A USB2 Mini Hub You Are Most Likely Going Too Need It. Do Not Come In Here And Post This Is Not Working Until You Have Tried It With The USB2 Mini Hub!
You Must Start From Stock U Firmware. IT Seems To Be The Less Likely To Brick Your Device As Explained In The Disclaimer!
Disclaimer Please Read!!
This may brick your device there is a problem especially with s8 and note 8 models where the tz partition becomes corrupted and on some occasions after flashing combination firmware your phone will become bricked and as of now there is no way to fix it. There is no way to predict if it will happen. It doesn’t seem too happen very often on s8+ but it does occasionally happen on the other 2 models so do this at your own risk. I would say it probably happens 10 percent of the time on s8 and note 8 especially when on bit 6 or higher firmwares. S8+ it rarely happens too but it still may. If you take the risk and it happens do not pm me asking how to fix it as of time I posted this there is no way to fix it
Please Read Notes
OEM Toggle Does Nothing On US Model Phones
You will most likely need a USB 2 mini hub for Odin to work if using windows 8 or higher. I would temporarily disable windows defender or antivirus software while performing the procedure with your computer.
You cannot have root on any rom except a nougat rom also flashing custom boot images cannot be done or using systemless magisk. Hiding root or running modules cannot be done. There is no oem unlock and even if there is you cannot unlock your bootloaders or run any aosp based roms.
You can be on any firmware to achieve safestrap but to run a rooted rom you will be limited to using a special nougat android 7 rom. You can have safestrap on pie android 9 which gives you some ability to modify system files flash zips etc and have access too data and other partitions that are normally blocked but you can not run root on android 9 because root on android 9 requires a modified boot image
Anything here with a .7z extension will get unzipped before using
Anything here with a .zip extension will get flashed a zip in safestrap
Anything here with a .tar or .md5 gets flashed in odin
Anything here with a .img extension gets flashed as image in safestrap

You IMo this is a lot smoother than using EDL specially for the non seasoned modders.
If EDL works for you it works great But if you have EDL issues it seems like it could be a nightmare.
This is gonna be a turning point for a while This can open root for several samsung devices that may not have it yet I know last time I looked J3 US didnt have root. But i have most of whats needed to try this on it too

What's the advantage of going this route ? What does BL ver.7 give me?
I do have frequent kernel panic reboots.. But think that might be the Rom.

There was no way to root previously if you were on stock v7 bootloaders. All this is is a way too root if you didn’t already have root
