Hi XDA,
i just got my RN3 (SD) from banggood and i'm on MIUI Global 7.1 Stable (7.1.99.99 LHOCNCL).
I have problems with some apps and i think its cause there is no locale for my country (Austria) and i configured the clock manually.
So i'm looking for options and clearification:
- I can flash official roms (from here) right away, correct? (without unlocking bootloader, rooting, TWRPing etc...)
- I'm waiting for my official unlock code. Can i unlock with my current rom (7.1.99.99) and newer global official roms? (here it says yes but not sure)
- MIUI is neat, but i kinda miss CyanogenMod. As far as i can tell there are no custom Roms out there with working RIL, fingerprint and stable enough for a daily use? RR seems on a good way and Mokee looks even more promising. Any recommendations or other roms i should keep an eye on?
Thanks for your help, much appreciated!
Yes you can unlock any miui version, and i prefer the official way. Just like you are doing.
As for ROMS i prefer Xiaomi.eu but i dont know why I get in a bootloop after i reboot into the ROM. And if you dont use FP sensor you can use CyanogenMod 13 is the best ROM out there, and i read that a chinese version of CM 13 is working everything (yes FP too).
And if you want you can install AOSP ROM with android 5.1.1 and everything working.

- Flashing official ROMs should not be a problem when you haven't unlocked your bootloader yet (read up when you unlocked it because there's a chance that flashing an official ROM may lock it again). Heads up: Flashing official Chinese ROMs when you're on Global didn't work for me.
- I recommend waiting for official unlock as well. I know the thread you linked to says it's possible to unlock on Global Stable, but for me it only worked on Global Developer. Upgrading from Global Stable to Global Developer works like a charm.
- The new alpha of CM13 by Santhosh M has working RIL from what I know and is relatively stable, but still far from bug free. If you are not too set on Android 6.0 you can also look for CM12.1 based cROMs. The RR ROM you linked is based on Santhosh M's port and will have the same problems. This is true for almost all CM13 based ROMs posted on here so far. People reserve their spot to develop the customized version of CM13, but in reality it all depends on when Santhosh M has enough of a break through to release a stable version.
I haven't looked into Mokee ROM so far, so no comment there. Might work well, but you definitely need to have an unlocked bootloader and a custom Recovery (Cofface's TWRP worked well enough for me) to flash them.
Best of luck and let's hope we get a stable CM13 soon.
edit: Seems like Mokee ROM faces the same problems as Santhosh M's port. I recommend just checking his post for updates. It will probably be the first one to actually port Android 6.0 to RN3. At least that is what I am doing.
@funkymaster be aware that your kenzo was flashed with an unofficial rom by your vendor (7.1.99.99), so first of all you have to get an official rom on your phone. Search the forum or google for 7.1.99.99, you will find guides that will help you (even in german).
Thank you very much for your input! You already helped me a lot.
I'm just gonna document here what i'm doing - maybe it will help others too.
What i have done:
- installed Mi PC Suite (for Xiaomi ADB drivers)
- downloaded MiFlash tool and current global stable rom from here (kenzo_global_images_V7.3.2.0.LHOMIDD_20160419.0000.19_5.1_global_19339c1a10.tgz)
Status: locked Bootloader, no root, vendor miui rom
Goal (for now): official global rom
Next step:
- flash downloaded rom with MiFlash
any input, recommendations still much appreciated
EDIT/UPDATE:
after entering the download mode (see guide) i got "RELINK HS-USB [...]" driver instead of "QUALCOMM HS-USB [...]" in windows device manager. I had to update driver, choose from list and select the qualcomm driver. First it wouldnt work (windows warned me that it couldnt start the device), but i just did a reboot of my phone an re-entered download mode and the yellow warning symbol was gone (in windows device manager).
Then i just followed the guide and flashed MIUI 7.3.2.0 global stable. It worked

Hi guys,
Long time Android user here - I've recently sold my Blackberry Priv and have picked up a Redmi 3. I'm struggling to wrap my head around the ROM terminology for this device.
- I am based in the UK, I can see in my device settings that I am on a 'Global' ROM
- I can see that there is a 7.3 version of miui available for this device, but cant find a reliable download source (currently running 7.2.7.0.0 - LHPCNDB)
- Will Miui 8 be released for this device (Global?)
- If I choose to flash the device with a Chinese version, what will the differences in the software be?
- The BL unlocking processes confuses me - do I literally need to send a request to Xiaomi for this to be done or can I do it via a tool?
I think this is all for now - I'd appreciate some help clearing up the above questions.

There is no official global rom for this device at the moment. Your rom seems to be a cooked room by the seller.
Official rom comes with English and Chinese only (and a lot of Chinese useless apps)
My suggest is to flash official developer rom (you need the developer rom to unlock bootloader), unlock bootloader (yes you need to apply for it to Xiaomi). Once unlocked, install twrp and a stable unofficial eu rom (this one has no OTA but is clean off Chinese apps).
If you have the no-pro version, you can also try the CM12 from this forum. It seems to be a very good rom.

You should apply to unlock your bootloader first; just make a Mi Account and go through the process. You might have to wait a few days (I waited 6). Some good tutorials are available on the MIUI forums or here on XDA.
After you've unlocked the bootlader, the next step is to flash a custom recovery such as TWRP (also on XDA), then a custom ROM of your choice. I reccommend installing xiaomi.eu if you live in Europe for the good localizations. Otherwise you can install the Chinese Stable / Dev ROM at your choosing; it has English language but some of the Chinese apps might annoy you. MIUI8 has been released for the Chinese developer ROM, and therefore the xiaomi.eu custom ROM which uses it as base. A CM 12.1 build is also available on XDA if you're into that, although it has some bugs regarding the camera, fingerprint sensor, and GPS.
So, I got a new Redmi Note 3 Pro, SE aka Kate, because the lte band 20 band really is a must since I live in a rural area where the bands on the normal version of the phone don't work. I got several questions, it seems so easy to everybody but I guess I'm a newb (although I've worked my way flashing a couple of phones before) I can't really find these answers anywhere else, so I'm trying to find if some of you experts can help Here we go:
1- Where can I find the oficial Global Roms for the RN3P SE?
2- The method to unlock bootloader is the same as RN3P? And how can I install TWRP?
3- Is MIUI 8 available for this phone? And is this ROM bad, as in change it asap? Cause I've seen people complaining, others that love it, and I don't really know. What would you consider is the best ROM for Kate atm?
4- Can I install Kenzo roms on this phone, with or without risk (other than the normal) involved? If so, is there any (noob) tutorial on how to do it?
5- Can I update it OTA?
6- Is there any official Kate thread on XDA?
For now, these are the ones that come to mind. Thank you in advance for your responses.

1. Official MIUI site: http://en.miui.com/extra.php?mod=rom/download&r=301&mobile=no#449
2. Method is the same, request for it, unlock BL via official unlocking soft, than flash twrp with fastboot
3. MIUI 8 is available, it is Stable (not dev). Best rom? Depends on what you need. MIUI is pretty different from stock Android. Status bar and notifications are custom and sometimes don't work as expected (white navbar icons over white background, for example). But â?? battery is great, fingerprint is fast, camera is great. And last two are not in CyanogenMod Roms because of closed sources of MIUI. But CM is CM â?? customizable, nearly stock, etc. Choice is up to you. I was coming from Nexus, flashed CM right from the start â?? but now I'm considering going back to MIUI.
4. Kenzo and Kate are completely the same except for modem software. You can always flash something for Kenzo and flash modem firmware on top. Instructions in "Index" theme in Kenzo forum
5. If you are on official MIUI â?? of course.
6. Kenzo = Kate, so Kenzo forum is your place
(I am a Kate owner, btw)

This just helped me so much. Thank you! And also, thank you for your views on the ROMs. Going to stick with MIUI for a while, I like it.
Hey guys.
I recently bought Redmi Note 3 and I like it quite a lot. I have always preferred stock ROMs but did not dislike MIUI.
The problem is that my phone is still at Android Lollipop. I would like it to be at least at Nougat.
That's when I applied for bootloader unlock code, I got the response the very next day that I was eligible for the unlock.
However, the problem is that for some reason the Mi Unlock tool refuses to recognize me phone. I have tried different different drivers, ports, installed Mi Pc Suite etc. Nothing seems to work.
I got really annoyed by it and started looking for alternative solutions, I realized that there was an unofficial bootloader unlock method, however, that was also fairly risky.
Now what I want to ask is. There are quite a few unofficial bootloader unlock method. Which one should I go with? I'm on MIUI 8.1 Global Stable
Can I install TWRP on an unofficially unlocked device?
Can I flash custom ROMs? And if yes, what ROMs can be flashed without a problem anything on an unofficially unlocked bootloader device?
What are the best ROMs without any major issues? Does Xposed work on 7.1?
I'll greatly appreciate any help.
Hello there,
I also faced this problem after i applied for official bootloader unlock. After searching for a lot of articles i came across this one article where we can install TWRP and Lineage OS without unlocking bootloader.
This article also has a link for a YouTube tutorial. I have tried this on my phone and this method works flawlessly.
Just follow every step from YouTube video or the article itself :-
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/kate-guide-install-lineage-os-locked-t3546154
As for the part of choosing best ROM, i personally prefer Lineage OS because it is much more stable but ofcourse u can try out other ROM like Nitrogen OS, Resurrection Remix or AOSP 8.0
Update latest Official MIUI bate then try unlock

Hi guys,sorry for this stupid question but after the xiaomi's news about the bootloader re-lock that causes a brick...i'm not sure of anything...so i'im asking this
I bought a mi8 6/64 global version(bootloader locked) so i think that is coming with the global stable.
So if i want to put the global developer can i just download the package from miui website and then install it from.the system update settings on the smartphone without problems?
Like bricks,errors or something weird? ?
If yes...afyer that,can i come back to the global stable without issues?

Sorry but i can't find the answer to my question.
Ok for unlocked bootloader and china/global.
Ok for anti rollback for android 8/9.
But my question is about a Mi8 with locked bootlader and Global stable and developer

Over the few months i have seen many Mi 8 owners who tweak their phone end up with a bricked device, of all the cases, a huge majority of them is due to the lack of research and jumping into modifying their phones before fully uinderstanding the situation (I almost made the mistake too, taking for granted that all android phones have minimal restrictions)
There are two things to take note of (especially if you decide to tweak your Mi 8/SE):
1. Xiaomi implemented a policy that prevents relocking of bootloader if you install a Global Rom on a China Variant Mi Phone
What this means: You cannot relock bootloader if your Mi8/SE is a China variant and ou have Global Miui version installed (Developer/Stable)
Common mistake(s):
1. Avoid 'Clean and lock' option when using Mi Flash. Only use 'Clean all' or 'Save user data' option
2. Do not relock your Mi8/SE if you are on Global Beta or Developer or Any MIUI rom that is Global
2. Google implemented a policy that prevents rollback to older Android versions for Android Oreo and above Roms. This is for 'Security' reasons and affects MIUI.
What this means: You cannot rollback to an older Miui version (Below Android 8.0) if you already you are currently on Andorid Oreo (i.e Miui 10) and up.
Common mistake(s):
1. Do not restore an old backup with Miui that has any Android version less than 8.0 from Miui 10 ( Android 8.0)
2. Do not install Miui 9 (Below Android 8.0) after installing Miui 10 (Android 8.0 Above)
*Tip: Ask yourself if the Android version you are about to install is lower than the Android version currently installed, if it is, DO NOT flash it. (Applicable if you are currently on Android 8.0 and up)
Please keep all of this in mind before you start tweaking your phone as you will run the risk of bricking your Mi 8/SE. After which, your Mi 8 becomes a very expensive paperweight. I hope this helps to clear things up for many people! Do know that while I disagree with Xiaomi's new anti-consumer policy, i also feel that it is YOUR responsiblility in your own actions, especially when you decide to modify your device and when you do modify anything (not just phones), there are always risks involved. When in doubt, it does no harm to Google it or just ask around in the forums. Moral of the story: Proceed with caution!
For those already bricked:
1. Contact Xiaomi Customer Service and try obtain edl permission to peform Testpoint fix.
2. Bring your phone to a Mi Store and hope that they can help you with it.
*In the case where my information is wrong, please correct me so that I can update accordingly for the benefit of everyone!
Have a nice day ahead and all the best in your phone tweaking adventures! Hopefully I helped you in clearing things up

I have the bootloader that is locked and i would like to leave it locked.
Then, is it possibile to change rom from GLOBAL STABLE to GLOBAL DEVELOPER without unlocking the bootloader and making other "modding things"?
Then(only if the 2 roms have the same android,so not now) can i switch back from DEVELOPER to STABLE (with locked bootloader and only if they have the same android version)?

I see what you mean, so yours is the global version and you want to flash without unlocking, http://en.miui.com/thread-720781-1-1.html (google search). Yes u can, from my personal experience, upgrading shouldn't require data wipe, but if you downgrade be prepared to wipe data, thats the only drawback, but you can definitely do it without a bootloader unlock using XiaomiTool or Miflash as well. For upgrading to developer just use updater app and select package, if not possible then miflash. Be careful flashing, you shouldnt have any problems as of now as long as you stay away from China rom. Miui roms are all ARB:1 which means ARB not yet activated, so downgrade possible. Have a good day ahead and have fun with your new Mi 8, it is a great phone (apart from the EDL lock **** Xiaomi pulled)

you can switch from global to dev with locked bootloader. Just download the dev of Android 8.1 and install it via settings - choose package, this will format the phone. Then you will get the Android 9 8.11.8 update

Perfect!

Maybe for the "normal" XDA users it's too easy and obvious...but not for me xD
Sorry guys if i bother you again.
But someone just told me that, yes it's possible to change from global stable to global developer but that i should have the same Android version (in this case right now stable is 8 and developer 9).
Otherwise i should unlock the bootloader and then i can switch...
What do you think?
Download http://bigota.d.miui.com/8.9.7/miui_MI8Global_8.9.7_fb7963a71d_8.1.zip and install it via phone updater.
That ROM was the last beta Android Oreo published.
After installing it, you'll receive an OTA update of the current beta ROM 8.11.8 Android Pie.
Done.
Hi xandreasx,
did you do it? Did it work? I tried and it did not work. If it worked could you send me the link where you downloaded it?

You can keep your data only if you do a backup before switching to beta
I have global stable 10.0.3.0 on global mi 8, locked bootloader. I downloaded 8.9.7 Global dev but the updater app says that it's not allowed to update to an unofficial rom. What version of oreo global dev do I have to flash?
Hello, I have just bought a Mi Pad 4; when it arrived, I immediately requested bootloader unlock and now i am waiting (290 hours left)...
In the meanwhile, I was searching which rom could I install for this device, I am an italian user so i was thinking to install stable MIUI 10 from MIUI.it, instead of the stable from xiaomi.eu because it is surely well translated and it is smaller then the EU rom, but I did not understand the bootloader and recovery thing.
Apparently if I install xiaomi.eu rom with their TWRP, i will also install a custom bootloader that could lead to problems if i want to install MIUI.it rom afterwards, so my question is if there are there problems with the stable MIUI10 of MIUI.it + MIUI.it TWRP, is it stable enough for daily use or it's better the xiaomi.eu version + their TWRP?
I recommend 8.1 based Mokee rom.
That's the most stable at the moment for me, far better than MIUI based roms.

Thank you for the advice, but for now I am appreciating a lot the MIUI 10 interface and its usability, so I would like to use this for now, but in the future I will surely try Mokee rom
I have found the answer for my questions: when I install the italian MIUI, if i encounter problems with it, i can switch to xiaomi.eu flashing the stock chinese stable rom with the tool called MiFlash, after that I can install xiaomi.eu rom with TWRP;
but if i want to install an AOSP rom, I can install it over every MIUI version obviously wiping data, cache and dalvik-cache of the previous rom through TWRP.
Another italian here guys...if you want I tried the HavocOS (it's the only one that has "official" support like Mokee, it's Android Pie with some custom settings) and except for navbar gestures that didn't work in landscape I didn't find any bug!

Yes, I have also seen this ROM and the reviews under the post are good, anyway for now I will install the MIUI 10 of MIUI.it (some other day and the bootloader will be unlocked), then surely I will try also some rom AOSP-based in the future
