I'm planning to sell my Redmi Note 3(SD) and since i have unlocked/rooted/twrp it may cause some problems for the buyer regarding future OTA, so can anyone please help me to revert it back to original state?

If you officially unlocked. Used mi flash to flash a latest global or global dev rom. Once compketed, all data in your phone will be fully wiped. I personally prefered global dev rom it have multi languages like I had been using redmi note 2. You can locked the bootloader back may be by mi unlocking tool. Since you going to sell the phone, you need to removed this phone from mi account else the new user may have problem on using the phone. Google for the intructions.

Hello guys, I recently purchased a redmi note 3 pro SD from AliExpress & the vendor flashed their own rom on it. I can't do ota updates or use mi pc suite with it so I want to flash official China rom on it but I have no idea how. Could any of you kindly tell me how? Thanks in advance.

Download the official rom from Miui forums and use the built in updater app. I don't have this phone yet but it sounds fairly straightforward. Make sure it is definitely the Snapdragon version first. The locked bootloader is supposed to stop vendors flashing their crap onto it
I just bought one as well. Vendor asked if I wanted either it sealed or "custom upgrade". Bootloader locking was needed, as @pepdavies said, because of all the malware

Hi, I downloaded the update from the official site followed the instructions but it doesnt up date, just says getting info then app crashes.
Here is the official GLOBAL ROM

and here's the procedure to flash Stable ROM or Global ROM to Note 3 Pro
Flash(Unbrick) Redmi Note 3(Snapdrgn) with Locked Bootloader
just follow carefully step-by-step.
I successfully changed vendor ROM to Chinese Stable ROM using above procedure.
If your phone comes with vendor ROM, and you can not update official ROM ota or by pc suite, then you have to flash your phone by the method mentioned above.
Download official ROM and use updater app will not solve the problem.
I've flashed my phone with official ROM, once you've flashed your phone successfully, you can update official ROM ota when new ROM is available.

I have the same problem with a note 3 pro SD650 I recieved from china. (MIUI 7.1 stable 7.1.18.0(LHOCNCL). Was unable to unlock bootloader without permission and therefore to flash any rom. Waiting now for authorization. Also unable to sync google contacts.
You don't need to unlock the bootloader. You can flash it using adb tools by rebooting into EDL mode, then you flash the official full rom
Hi, i just update my distributor ROM to 7.1.8 via SP Tool and when I tried to save contact there are no option to choose from drop down list to which email (picture attached). Then I updated it to 7.5.1 via OTA and still the same problem. I already login to google account in my device. So that make me confused.
Hope to get solution from you guys.
Thanks
Mine says "Add Field" at the bottom.
Never had this problem on my redmi note2, redmi note3 pro on official global dev rom, and redmi 2 enhanced on cn dev rom, all my phone were rooted with superSU flashed.

Hi,
With too many Redmi 3 sub-models, it hard for me to getting "knowing the ropes".
I bought the Redmi Note 3 Pro 3GB 32GB Qualcomm Snapdragon 650 Hexa Core.
Read the "index-custom-roms" and there are a LOT of roms theres, hell knows what would suit me? (A clean /smouth/ android with few modes)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/development/index-custom-roms-t3396628
I still totally confused with:
- What is the Rooting method that works for this sub-model? (after sending request to Xiaomi to unlock the BL)
- I want a clean rom without Chinese bloatware - running smoothly without lags.
Please help me straighten out with this confusing area (for me).
Thanks you very much!
After getting unlocking permission, you need to unlock BL through miunlock tool. Then, install twrp with fastboot adb. After that you get n number of roms as per your liking & preference. Cm13 by santosh is my favorite.

Thanks mate.
But I still getting confusing and I really need to someone will paste here the links to the right TWRP recovery filecause I can easily flash the wrong recovery file.
What is the tool for unlocking the BL of the: Note 3 Pro 3GB 32GB Qualcomm Snapdragon 650 Hexa Core
Also - for your opinion - what is the most clean smooth rom out there for this sub-model?
Thanks very very much for the help.

Here's the official twrp. Kenzo is device's codename so you don't get confused with other sub-models.
You will find unlock tool on the same website you applied for permission, Its the same for all variants.
I'm using CM13 based on official sources, it pretty smooth,
BTW, most ROMs for kenzo are based on official CM sources so you'll get almost similar experience on them.

To avoid any confusion go to Play Store and download an app called "Device info HW" or other similar of your preference, open it and go to section system, then search for Product.
Oficial twrp for vince is available in this forum as a lot of custom roms.
Hi all, just a clarification, i have Redmi Note 5, why this thread is unified? Does it means roms for "vince" and "whyred" are the same?
No, this forum is for Redmi Note 5 and Redmi 5 Plus both with codename vince.
Redmi Note 5 Pro is known in China like Redmi Note 5 (whyred)
Redmi 5 Plus is known in India as Redmi Note 5 too (vince); This causes the confusion both receives same name depending from where they comes (or where they were released)
Whyred (snapdragon 636) has other specs than vince (625)

Thank you for the info on that. However, I am living in China and my Redmi Note 5 was bought here, so it is a lot of trouble to get the google play store and set up my VPN before flashing the phone with a new ROM. Is there another way to see what the phone name really is?
Also, any thoughts on my firmware question?
Thank you so much for the help!

Then most probably should be Redmi Note 5 pro, if you are rooted go with a root file explorer to system in root directory and find the build.prop file and open it in your device with any text viewer and find the line ro.build.product or something with word product, you will see vince or whyred

I was able to find another app in the Xiaomi app store that showed this info. My phone is whyred. The app name was Quick System info PRO, if others need to do the same. Thank you for the help!
Just wondering now about if I need to bother about including firmware when installing gapps and a custom ROM. Any thoughts on this?
Thanks,!

I'm not sure if I understood correctly, some roms need to be installed also the firmware in some cases and for aosp based roms most of times you need to flash the gapps too but don't worry about. Here is the forum for you specific model https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-5-pro and when you find a rom that matches with your preferences in the thread these steps might to be explained
I wanted to know does the redmi 5 ( Rosy) has got the anti roll back feature enabled.....
I was going to unlock my bootloader but I got to know that one of my friends device( Redmi 5A) got hard bricked and he had to change his motherboard.....
