Flashing locked phone via edl mode? - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers

Hello,
so I've got a locked Redmi Note 3 snapdragon and I want to unlock it the official way (still waiting for the approval).
Anyway, when I want to flash firmware via MiFlash I get the error, that my device is locked, so I can't flash.

Today I've found those 2 tutorials on how to flash via MiFlash:
And this one: http://en.miui.com/thread-242767-1-1.html
I know that those tutorials are for different devices (and bricked ones), but would I be able to flash for example china dev 6.3.31 with this method without bricking my device (I really want root access and the new dev ROM doesn't have it anymore)?
And would I be able to flash global stable (via Update app I can only flash china roms)?

You can flash Chinese global or Chinese Dev rom with Mi PC Suite, I recommend you to first unlock your bootloader with the official way, apply your request as soon as you can so you won't need to wait that much, and after unlocking, install global rom if you want to.
(If you want to make your unlock request faster, post your request on the miui forum in the right section with your MIUI ID and say you registered more than 10 days, this will make things much faster )

I already applied for the code like 6 days ago, but You know, I'm impatient. I can't live without root
Mi PC Suite sadly fails to flash any ROM, that's why I wonder if I could use "fastboot oem edl" with locked bootloader to flash old china dev ROM.

The safest method is that you wait for your apply, install china dev, unlock your bl, and root it with the built-in root in security app, I use this too
