Hello there.
I'm thinking about buying this phone, but I'd like to know:
1. Is it possible to root the phone? I haven't found any info on xda, but there is something here --> http://en.miui.com/thread-215325-1-1.html Can someone confirm that it works?
2. What about ROMs? I see that most of the Xiaomi devices have some (mi3/4 even have official CM support), here the section is empty. Is it not possible to develop ROMs for this device, or is it just a matter of time?
3. Is the bootloader locked?

Built-in direct root access in a multilingual Vietnamese firmware Rom_Ti_ngVi_t_Xiaomi-Redmi3_MobileCity_v1a_Full_Unbrick . The firmware is flashing by MiFlash (it's in the zip), with locked bootloader. Su by Chainfire, with the SuperSU.
Is there a confirmed information that they are planning to release unlock tool (like they did for Mi4 --> http://en.miui.com/thread-202290-1-1.html)?

Yes. This firmware saves me when the system is on my phone falls in the experiments. How to flash is here to see (only drivers easier are put, without such problems).
Or you can put the firmware via adb-interface. So I put my localized and tweaked version.
With unlocked bootloader yet like no one - Xiaomi needs to receive the approval to unlock. A request for this here (Xiaomi account needs).
Hi Guys, anybody succeeded in rooting v7.2.4.0?, i also need to know if there is a way to make google play as default app store
Think we'll need the global rom with no Chinese app store installed for Google to be a default.
Think either miui or xiaomi.eu sites there is a rooted latest version.... Not sure though

well then, i hope the Global Rom will come soon, since it would at least ease the pain
Please don't delete the xiaomi play store. It will send your phone into a boot loop. Read the Xiaomi.eu threads before doing anything.

Hello to all
sorry for my english (english by google translator)
I have a question that echoes in my mind:
- Asus to unlock the bootloader of the device has created an application, but with the new firmware, the bootloader is different ...................... installing JB is possible that the t201 it looks like new and will restore OTA updates as if the device had never been unlocked?

No.
The device remains "unlocked" even after you upgrade to JB bootloader.

You can just use the US version already posted. There don't seem to be any discernible differences.

No, you get to select the keyboard you want when it boots... I saw lots of options, not just English US.
And in other threads people from all over Europe are saying it works fine. Works for me, I'm in Holland.

Has anyone managed to unlock their bootloader on Global stable rom that your phone shipped with?
I'm specifically asking Indians. And of course I'm asking about Snapdragon variant which ships here.
If it didnt unlock on Global stable, what did you do next?
Also please don't post about the unofficial hack method. I'm well aware about that. I want to know about official method.
I also have the same query, please anyone give a proper answer.

yes, Tutorial: http://en.miui.com/thread-235865-1-1.html
if you're not a developer or custom roms lover, you don't need unlocking, flashing and unlocking are risky and so many people got bricked, think twice before any action

Well
I got that 50%error too
I was at 7.1.8.0 got ota to 7.2.3.0
Then i logged out and factory reset it(optional)
Signed it and synced again and let it be for 3-4 days
Tried it and it went through
Maybe it is due to slow syncing with chinese server

I managed to unlock bootloader on Global 7.2.3.0 ROM.
I faced the 'stuck at 50%' problem too. It didn't work for me on Dev nor Global ROM. The Mi unlock tool said it couldn't verify accounts.
But after waiting for about a week I tried again and it worked!
Apparently Xiaomi's unlock process has some bugs and the accounts fail to verify properly. You have to give it time to sync.
Also in developer settings make sure to enable OEM unlocking. The Dev ROM has this enabled by default so maybe that's why more people had success with it (and maybe why people were reporting that unlocking on Global doesn't work).

I have already unlocked by unofficial method , by your official method boot.img , some good guy will be able to make modified boot.img of your officially unlocked one in which we don't need to delete bootloader file to switch between MIUI ROMS to prevent bootloop and bootloader relock problem again.
So request to you upload it.

As title really, can't really find a definitive answer.
It was a UK Tesco handset but unlocked to all, and still running the standard Moto stock firmware.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hello guys, I am just wondering if anybody have tried or know if the following IUNI OS ROM by Machao on Chinese forum works with Locked bootloader as it is based on official 4.4.4-23.0.1.A.3.12 or it does require an unlocked bootloader? Thank you.

I don't want to loose my recovery and re flash my phone all from the beginning. i though maybe there is someone here who understand chinese so he can understand what is written on the forum because google translate isn't giving an accurate translation.
It has been a long time since the last update, so better not flash this.

You can reflash the old recovery if it does not work, and make a backup before you flash.
