Hey all ....
Sorry if this has been covered.
I had a rooted, unlocked Note 2 for a long time that I loved. I purchased the Note 3 not realizing I can't unlock the bootloader. I rooted it but still couldn't get any kind of wifi tether to work ... even paid app ones.
So tonight, I traded my Note 3 to a guy for some cash and his Note 2 .... only to realize it's 4.3 OTA updated.
Can I root and unlock the bootloader or am I screwed?
Thanks. Any help or points in the right direction would be appreciated.

At this point you can only root with kingo. You cannot unlock the bootloader.
Hey all my bootloader said it can be unlocked and just wondering if I can have some help with the rooting process this is my first owned sony
get root then install twrp recovery then backup TA.
to root :
try giefroot. if failed, find older kitkat firmware version & flash using flashtools. repeat giefroot.
if Z3v is not supported, then proceed to unlock bootloader

unlocking bootloader may cause losing drm keys permanently

Whoa, think about what you're doing first. Are you unlocking for developmental purposes? There hasn't been any root to achieve yet and unlocking will mean losing the DRM keys that Sony uses to enhance such functions like the camera sensors. It's a point of no return because none of the software that's available online supports the Z3v. And I mean root, TA backup, and even PC Companion itself.
Just a caution to let you know.

ya... be careful.... but it is good to know that some of z3v devices are allowed to unlock bootloader.... nice one.... but unfortunately my device was not allowed
p.shashikiran94 why are you resurrecting all these old posts? Are you trying to rack up you post count?
I'm frustrated because after a basically dead board here for several weeks, I posted a question that suddenly got buried out of sight so it never gets answered.
God forbid I ask on the development board for I'll surely suffer "noob chastisement".

It's weird he's resurrecting them, I agree. And I wouldn't bother with unlocking unless there is definitive proof we can. I say this because someone here went so far into the terminal of his Z3v that he got into hot waters and bricked his phone. After changing out with Verizon too many times, they kicked him out of his warranty.
Hey guys,
first of all, i used the search but couldnt find what im looking for.
I need a unoffical way to unlock the MTK version of the Redmi Note 3 32GB 3GB Ram
Im currently running 8.6.8.11 chinese dev rom. Root is not granted. The security app says due to safety reasons the fastboot is locked.
The phone is for colleague who doesnt speak a word english. So he asked me to install a custom rom.
After a lot of hardbrick situations (he made a update, locked the bootloader again and tried to fix it by himself ) i got the phone back alive. I cant find the old tutorial anymore with the unoffical unlock procedure. Official unlock always tells me i dont fullfill the requirements.
Does anyone of you experts here can help me to unlock the "old fashioned" MTK phone
It totally drives me crazy the last 3 days (nights) ^^

Hello people,
I have a problem with unlocking my bootloader on my Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro.
I got permission from the developers.
Waited 2 days to try unlock the bootloader.
Installed the latest Beta rom.
Logged in on the Mi App and my device is online om i.mi.com
I also tried multiple tutorials on google and on the forums of Xiaomi.
I don't know what to do anymore..
Please help me!
~OP will be edited if I forgot something or I have the answer!
I am very confused, It seems like there is a only a few mention of Redmi Note 3 PRO
here.... If there is a subcategory for it? please kindly link it to me.
So my question is, can the bootloader be unlocked? I really wanna buy this phone right now but the locked bootloader really makes me change my mind.
Yes it can be unlocked and your in the right forum!

Apply for unlock privileges when you order the phone because it can take upto 2 weeks to get. Use a valid reason and don't copy reason from other sites.
