Hi y'all!
I'm really having trouble flashing an official stable rom on my device. The rom archive is miui_HM3_V7.3.2.0.LHPCNDD_6a5e1bc33c_5.1.zip.
I downloaded it and copied it to a folder (downloaded_rom) on the internal storage of my redmi 3. After selecting it in the updater app I get asked whether it's OK to delete all data, because the rom I'm updating to is older than the one installed. My phone's miui version is MIUI 77. Stable 77.1.1.0 (LHPCNCK). The doble 7s seem odd to me and may be part of my problem (I bought the phone like that). Then, the device is rebooting and I can see some kind of progression bar for a couple of seconds on the botton of the screen but then it just reboots into android and nothing changed
I also tried to flish it via Mi PC suite. Here, after connecting the device in fastboot mode, I got the message that my device isn't supported.
I also believe that the bootloader is locked and I already got the "permission" from xiaomi to unlock it but I had no luck with this either. The Mi unlock tool is telling me, that the "current account is different from the account info on the device" which wasn't the case after I double checked.
Am I missing something here?
kind regards

yes.
because you are currently in modified rom (rom supplier or seller, etc, etc) you cannot update or do anything about it
flash the official rom using miflash method
after that you can update using updater program

I'll try that and report back. Thanks!
Okay, finally I managed to flash my phone with the newest miui.eu rom. What I did was:
- Flashing the official Xiaomi Rom (MiFlash package) via MiFlash (1st try in Win32 wasn't working. 2nd try on Win64 did the job)
- I had to update to the newest official stable OTA, because somehow, I wasn't able to unlock my bootloader with the older version.
- I unlocked the bootloader using the MiFlashUnlocker.
- Updated to the official MIUI 8 dev rom using updater app on my phone
- On dev rom I granted root acces to flashify and flashed the twrp recovery image on my device (which gets wiped from my device every time I reboot - anyone knows why??)
- Reboot into recovery and flash the MIUI.eu zip which is now running on my device.
Thanks for the help guys!
Hi.
I am having the same problem, with pre-installed rom: MIUI 77.1.1.0 Stable. The updater app obviously doesn't work (now i know why) and the MiFlash software doesn't seem to work either. It doesn't recognise the phone, browsing to the downloaded rom does nothing. Am i missing something?
Update, it now recognises the phone, but miflash is saying it can't find the file specified (0x80070002: Execute flash_all.bat)
Thanks for any assistance you can give.
Update 2. Just found out you need a different version of the Rom for fastboot. available from http://en.miui.com/a-234.html for anyone searching.
Okay so Miflash began the process when i had the Fastboot rom, but failed at about 2 percent as the device is locked.
Although i have permission the Mi unlock tool won't unlock my phone as it says the accounts don't match that on the phone, although i have quadruple checked them.
Research suggests it might be a problem with the custom rom on my phone, or that i need to be on the China Dev rom to unlock?
But i can't flash the China Dev Rom!!!
Is there any way to get my device to stock rom?
Sorted.
For the benefit of anyone searching, i followed the instructions here: http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=redirect&goto=findpost&ptid=242867&pid=4510751

I have the Redmi note 3 pro 2gb snapdragon version I have unlocked my bootloader officially. I cannot seem to be able to root/flash recovery onto my phone.
I tried the Miui India toolkit - I get an error message: error unhandled exception has occurred in your application blah blah blah Could not find file c:\1.txt
I tried following this guide, and it worked once but it also broke Wifi - wifi refused to turn on
http://xiaomitips.com/guide/root-redmi-note-3-snapdragon/
I'm on Global Stable 7.1.8.0. I've tried the China rom and Global 7.2.3.0 but both roms are much worse on my phone - I no longer get notifications from my messaging apps, Blackplayer keeps stopping and restarting from the very first song it started playing, and other random bugs
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you

You unlocked your bootloader on stable ROM? Are you sure? According to this post it doesn't work on stable and it didn't work for me (same model).
Check it in fastboot (power off device and boot by holding Power + Vol Down):
1. Connect your RN3 SD to PC
2. Open cmd.exe and change to your ADB/fastboot folder with "cd <X:\myADBandFASTBOOTfolder\>" (replace with whereever fastboot.exe is located)
3. Check the connection with "fastboot devices". It should show something, meaning that your PC recognizes your device being connected through fastboot.
4. Enter "fastboot oem device-info". The line where it says "Device unlocked:" should be "true". If not, your bootloader is still locked.
Anyway, I suggest going to an official Developer Version (if you are on Global Stable, install Global Dev; China Stable -> China Dev). IMPORTANT: Search through forums, if an OTA update is safe to do, when your bootloader is unlocked. It might (!) lock it again, meaning you have to wait again, since Xiaomi only allows one unlock a month per device.
When you are on Dev ROM with bootloader unlocked, follow this guide to flash TWRP and patch the boot.img (important, so it doesn't replace TWRP with stock recovery again after the next boot). Go into recovery (Power + Vol Up) immediately after flashing TWRP, without rebooting to system. If TWRP is in Chinese, check out my comment here on how to fix it.
After successful installation of TWRP make sure that it's permanent (reboot the device at least twice and enter TWRP again). If that is the case you can search for the latest SuperSU.zip and flash it through TWRP which should give you root.
Hope this helps.

Hello
Sorry to rephrase: I flashed to China Dev rom via MiFlash and unlocked the bootloader offically, however this rom had odd errors and bugs so I went back to the older Global Stable. My understanding is that the bootloader is now unlocked regardless of what ROM i am running?
In the guide you linked, the OP mentione "no patched boot.img required" yet you recommend I patch the boot.img? Can you advise how I should do this?

I think going from China Dev to Global Stable is giving you troubles. Since you already flashed another Official ROM after unlocking the bootloader I don't think it would make matters worse if you did it again now. Try flashing the official Global Dev Qualcom http://en.miui.com/download-301.html and check again if your bootloader is unlocked through the method I posted. After that - if it's still unlocked - you should be able to follow through with the guide.
Right, the boot.img is patched automatically through TWRP when you enter and exit it. Just flash the recovery and confirm overwriting files, so it doesn't go back to stock, when you exit TWRP. You should get a notification when you try to rebbot to system through TWRP.
Just as an update - I was able to flash Cofface's recovery on Global Stable 7.1.8.0 (since my phone refused to update me to any other rom) using the provided guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/development/recovery-kenzotwrp-cafface-3-0-0-t3369341

I just recently went through most of what you have gone through... Be patient though... It seems that the unlocking of bootloader even after you getting permission, takes atleast 2-3 weeks more.
- You can flash the miui global dev rom, you may download it from the miui forums... Here is the link for the fastboot rom http://en.miui.com/a-234.html.
- To flash the dev rom, you need to ensure you put your phone into fastboot, ensure all the fastboot drivers are installed on your computer
- Also, you need to ensure that you download the GLOBAL/DEV FASTBOOT ROM(this is different than the regular zip package) that you download.
- Then you can follow the instructions to install the ROM using miflash tool
- If the ROM installation is a success, then you just need to wait patiently atleast for 15-20 days from the time you got unlock permission sms from MI
- Then try running the flash unlock tool, it should get unlocked.
- Now flashing TWRP might be tricky, I was able to flash the official TWRP, but had issues where the internal memory wasn't getting mounted, because you keep getting asked for decryption password in TWRP to mount the data, no matter what you enter, it might not work
- After trying many TWRP types, the one that worked was "zcx twrp"
- Once you flash that, you should be able to flash any custom or miui roms you need :good:

Skip the EDL thing and go directly to the part where they explain how to use the miflash tool to flash a fastboot ROM
I should have asked this first... what's the state of your phone right now? Does it boot, stuck on boot loop, or are you able to boot into some ROM.
maybe u have a vendors rom, flash the fastboot rom using edl
finally a downloaded adb 1.4.3 and installed it and i flashed dev rom in EDL mode.
but now i have some questions:
can i change kernel with locked bootloader?
if i change kernel does fingerprint work?
You just dont have proper drivers installed im 100% sure, else it would go via edl
Hehe was right������
And why dont you ask for official unlock approval? Its approved in less than a day, anyone saying otherwise have old news
Or you can always use a method in this forum...
I am a beginner about miui and redmi note 3 stuff.

Thanks i advance☺
Hey there.
1) I think you should try to check and see if you do have an official version of MIUI, not a vendor version.You can check this by seeing if you have ads or things like that popping up in your phone. The reason I say this is because MIUI actually gets updated pretty regularly. If you just don't like MIUI because of update issues, I think you might want to try flashing a known global stable version of MIUI(which is the official MIUI that is supposed to ship on MI devices) before doing anything else.
As for how to flash your device, the steps are below.
1) Unlock your bootloader using the official method from Xiaomi.
you can apply for unlock permissions here http://en.miui.com/unlock/
after applying, you will have to download the MiUnlock program and install it on your computer.
Plug in your phone to your computer to allow the drivers to install.(It's an automatic process)
Check the email account associated with the Mi account you used to apply for unlock permissions every few days.You should receive permission to unlock within the week.
After you have received permission,
Boot your phone into fastboot mode(vol down and power buttons held down at the same time from power off state)
plug your phone into your computer(please note to use the original cable and a stable usb port)
open the MiUnlock program
Click unlock.
You will have successfully unlocked your bootloader at this point.
2)Check your device version by going to settings> about phone.
If it says hexa core processor, refer to the snapdragon forums
If it says octa core processors, refer to the mediatek(mtk) forums
3)Flash an official Xiaomi ROM for the appropriate version of your device.
you can follow this extremely detailed tutorial here(please note that everything from this point forth will be a tutorial for the snapdragon version and should not be used on the mediatek version)
http://en.miui.com/thread-235865-1-1.html
4) If you are still unsatisfied with the Official MIUI, you can then proceed to flash a custom ROM of your choice.
Flash TWRP.
After that, flash Alka recovery.
You can compare the different versions of TWRP available here http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/guide-redmi-note-3-available-twrps-t3406708
For this part, you can follow the tutorial made by rootjunky.com on youtube.
After that, backup all partitions of your device onto your sd card.
Flash the appropriate firmware for your Custom ROM
Flash your chosen ROM
Flash Gapps.
Done.
A good ROM to start out with would be CM13 by TheStrix.
A good kernel would be Radon Kernel.
Personally, I wouldn't use CM14 yet as it is not completely stable.
Alright folks - heres where I'm at.
I started off having the phone brand new as of christmas.. I managed to get the bootloader unlocked, and TWRP installed. for some reason (and i've searched for days now with no success) i kept getting this error in twrp when installing a rom "unable to mount /persist invalid argument" ... So after not having any luck with custom installed roms, bootloops i decided to put the phone back to factory. Factory from the MIUI website which was 8.1.1...
Well, since unlocking bootloader (unofficial way) and upgrading to 8.1.1 - the phone will not turn on. it just says Encryption Unsuccessful - reset phone. Which I do, and it goes back to the same screen, Over, and Over, and OVER.
I managed to get two rom on it (8.0.6 global) and (8.0.7 china) but both have broken / no google play services.
Now I have this beautiful device, with no chance of unlocking the boot loader (I think) and no chance of putting a custom rom AND no working play store. Although it isnt a paper weight just yet... I'm about to say thats what i'm going to do with it soon.
Any help on getting a custom rom, the latest MIUI, or just working play services is greatly appreciated .

You mean put the phone in EDL then use fastboot rom via miflash? if so then yes. I've tried using multiple versions of global, and then one version of cn. I also tried to put one version of cn on there, then do the recovery update for developer mode, unfortunately that doesnt work either.
Question - is there a version of someones premade rom anywhere thats flashable via miflash?
Thanks,
Zack

I mean to say flash MIUI Rom selecting clean all option which is located at the bottom on Mi Flash tool. If not than try it once and see.
I have tried that too unfortunately
Looks like on the same road, tough i managed yo install 8.0.x global version.my main driver was trying to be able to edit build.prop toenable 4g.
I nerve success installing 8.1.1 version in my unlocked bootloader.
Any good news on installing 8.1.1 vwrsion unofficially?
History:
1) I bought the phone in China and got it unlocked eventually
2) I got TWRP to work and then proceeded to install SuperSU via TWRP
3) This put me into "stuck" state (on Mi logo)
I obtained the following file: cancro_global_images_V8.1.4.0.MXDMIDI_20161201.0000.00_6.0_global_fcd6394ed1.tgz
and then tried to install it through the Mi flash tool which led to an error - "can not found file flash_all_except_storage.bat"
Note: If I can get my phone working I will probably just keep it stock this has been extremely frustrating and difficult. I have used the resources at XDA for years (thanks all you guys are great!) with my Samsung phones and have never had any issues at all but this has been completely different trying to mod my Xiaomi.
If any one can tell me how to fix my phone that would be great!
Note:
My phone has no OS on it atm (would like global rom if possible)
I would prefer not to lose the media files I have in storage
Have access to ADB command prompt and TWRP but cannot enter an OS (I tried to factory reset)

Dude, that rom you downloaded is for Mi4 if i'm not wrong, and not for RDN 4.
Here is the link for the global stable ROM, which you need to flash in Fastboot mode. Select the "Redmi Note 4 MTK Latest Global Stable Version Fastboot File Download". You can use the same tutorial which they wrote you in previouse post. http://en.miui.com/a-234.html
Thanks all, finally found the right one it was the Nikel one that worked
