HI! I am using the redmi note 3 snapdragon variant,and i have unlocked my bootloader unofficially and curretly using cm13 rom.
I want to swith back to stock miui rom,i.e miui 8 ,bt i read that directly flashing the rom will relock my bootloader and brick my phone.I have lazy patcher and twrp installed in my phone.How to switch back to stock rom without relocking my bootloader since root access is very imp. for me.
Thank you.
Official unlock is better than unofficial unlock.. Try to flash latest global stable via MiFlash, and unlock it.. If 50% error appear, try to flash global beta and then unlock again..

Hi, according to this thread
Cofface is not recommended for unofficial unlocked bootloader
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67505475&postcount=2
Yet cofface is required for flashing to marshmallow roms. So can I get some confirmation here if it can be used for unofficially unlocked bootloader?

you may want to use the "safe twrp" version. its a variant of coface which ensures you dont flash the emmc file. however since you have CM13 which has its own firmware files.. i think you should go the EDL method and use the patched emmc file. refer this http://en.miui.com/thread-253680-1-1.html

And that's also from the same thread I just posted
His instruction is just a bit conflicted
Bootloader Unlocked UNOFFICIALLY via Mi Flash Tool
1. Rooting MIUI ROM
• Flash Safe TWRP v2 & Backup Current ROM
• Flash SuperSU Zip & Reboot To System
2. Flashing MIUI Lollipop Recovery ROM
• Flash Safe TWRP v2 & Backup Current ROM
• Factory Reset & Flash MIUI Recovery ROM Zip
• Flash Universal Boot Image Patcher Zip & Reboot To System
3. Flashing MIUI Marshmallow Recovery ROM
• Flash Cofface TWRP & Backup Current ROM
• Factory Reset & Flash MIUI Recovery ROM Zip
• Flash Boot Img Patcher & Reboot To System

Yet he also mentions
Cofface TWRP : Google Drive Link
• Based on Official TWRP 3.0.0-0
• Patches boot.img automatically, no need to flash UBP Zip after flashing MIUI Recovery ROM Zip.
• Users with official unlocked bootloader can use this TWRP tp flash custom ROMs as well MIUI ROM Zips.
• Users with unofficial unlocked bootloader should strictly not use this TWRP for flashing MIUI Recovery ROM Zip.

Un-Official Unlocked Bootloader Users should use:
Official TWRP : If they plan on staying only on custom ROMs.
Safe TWRP v2 : If they plan on flashing MIUI ROMs as well as custom ROMs

I'd appreciate if anyone can clarify if marshmallow MIUI rom for redmi note 3 can be flashed with safe twrp or cofface twrp for unofficial unlock bootloader.

Indeed it is very confusing with various twrp's around..I wish there was only one CWM or TWRP which could flash any rom..
TBH I have also officially unlocked BL, but looking @ various threads daily I am yet to flash TWRP..
It's very confusing & afraid that I would brick my device..:crying:

There is a MM specific emmc file (patched)..look for that on miui forums and follow the steps . I can send you the link later. It will still be unlocked since you are using a patched file. But u will lose your recovery since you are flashing everything stock. So you got to flash safe twrp again after flashing the rom through fastboot. It's just like flashing the LL rom but with a different emmc file.
Alternatively you could use safe twrp as well but I am not 100℅ confident since MM has different firmware/ partitions so I dont know if it will work or not. There are too many users reporting various issues such as bootloop, no sim detection etc etc.
If any experienced user can write a detailed guide for upgrading from miui LL to MM on unofficial unlock using safe twrp, that will be great. Until then use EDL (but backup ALL partitions using Alka twrp before you start)

Hi, so I take the it steps are similar to edl method you posted earlier except that I have to replace the emmc patched files with mm version instead and start flashing the MM miui v8 rom.
I'd appreciate if you could share the link since I'm not sure where to find it.

Hi guys
Ive just purchased the great kenzo last week
I just wanted to know how do i root my phone
It has 8.0.5.0
I wanted to know is there a way to do this so that i dont lose warranty
Also as i understand i will have to unlock bootloader to do this and for that i will have to place a request with xiaomi thus voiding my warranty
So is it possible to just root and not void warranty
Also if there are any options to install custom roms as well without losing warranty
Any help will be appreciated guys
I am from India
Anybody??
Requesting a bootloader unlock will not void your warranty
It is easiest done in this order:
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Flash TWRP recovery
3. Flash SuperSU to root.

You DO NOT have to unlock your bootloader to flash twrp and then root your phone. Please see this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/red...-to-flash-twrp-recovery-unlock-t3473294/page8

I think it will only work reliably on a Marshmallow based rom. So you will need to flash the latest global beta in edl mode.

Didnt expect such a quick reply, thnx
Just so that I've got this right..
I install this via edl using miui flash tool and changing the recovery to twrp in the package before installing
And then either i can root that rom or install any other rom
I do not have to unlock bootloader to do this right or install another rom following this?
What recovery would u suggest

I would just flash global rom, unlock bootloader and then you can flash recovery via adb. It's easier.
Just use standard TWRP or Alka.

I used Zcx twrp. It can read the encrypted data partition in Marshmallow and also disable dm-verity in the locked bootloader. You must boot into recovery immediately after flashing the ROM and before booting into MIUI or twrp will be over written.
I have not flashed other ROMs, but I did root MIUI by flashing SuperSU from twrp without any problems.

Zcx twrp has SuperSU included that you can flash. That worked for me on 6.9.29. I have since upgraded to 6.10.13. You should check out the Zcx twrp thread on the guides forum.

Please help me with this
I tried reverting back to stable build from CM 13
I used edl to flash stable build but when i do it and boot the rom i don't have network.
But when i flash the dev build i do have network.
I remember restoring the modem in dev build from twrp backup got the network up and running earlier when i reverted back to dev build from cm
But i cannot do that for the stable build coz of locked bootloader and no twrp
Can you please tell me what I'm doing wrong

From what I've read, that is a general problem when you revert from a MIUI mm based ROM to a lollipop ROM. There are several threads on how to solve the problem.
Good luck.

I think you'll have to search for the threads here or on the MIUI forums. I don't remember the full procedure, but I think it involves flashing an older version of the developer ROM before flashing the stable ROM. I have not done it myself. Xiaomi even warns in the MIUI forums that reverting to the stable Lollipop ROM from the LL developer ROM is difficult.
Good luck.

Good news. I'm glad it worked out.
Hello ppl,
I have unlocked the bootloader of my RN3 snapdragon version officially and i flashed the offical twrp on my phone.
Then i did a complete backup of the rom and then installed CM 14.1 (Santosh's build)
When i installed the rom,it relocked the bootloader and the fastboot mode now shows cyanogen logo instead of the mi logo.
The TWRP is working fine and i tried out both CM13 as well as 14.1.
i was on the miui 8(5.1) build and i tried to restore the EFS file to enable VOLTE on CM14.1 but no VOLTE is working as it was V5.1
I now have to revert back to MIUI8(6.0).How do i proceed?.
*I will flash the global MIUI8 developer rom using the TWRP?
*Restore the backup that i had done earlier with with official TWRP?
*Boot into eld mode(Cyanogen fastboot mode) and then use MiFlash and flash global developer MIUI version.
Please Help me with this.Need to get the VOLTE working fast and get back to MIUI.
First of all let me tell you that volte is broken and fluctuating in miui8 MM builds. Even though there are fixes but then you have to compromise fp scanner. So in my opinion flash xiaomi.eu rom 6.8.11 based on 5.1.1. But as per experience I have seen volte working in santhosh build. Just dont flash any firmware. And to revert back to miui8 LP just wipe partitions and remeber dat official MM roms are encrypted. Dont go there. Happy flash.

Didnt you unlock bootloader? If not then unlock it using mi flash tool, and check out roms from xiaomi.eu site not from miui.com, official site produce ****ty roms. They mess up data partition with encryption. Check out 6.8.11 based on 5.1 where VoLte works fine.

MiUnlock is not detecting the phone to unlock the bootloader.
Sorry for too many questions.Litte bit new to RN3 .It was easy to flash and do stuff with my old OnePlus One.
::And ill download the stable or weekly
I think you might lose IMEI/EFS if you downgrade from CM 14.1 to lolipop MIUI? Someone more knowledgeable can confirm.

download weekly, miunlock is not detecting? Hmm then may be it is due to windows drivers. If you are using x64 bit OS then you should tweak driver signature enforcement in windows. which twrp u are using? Use a twrp where you can backup efs, modem and other important partitions. alka, zcx are best twrps.

if you use edl then it doesnt matter whether its unlocked or locked. But edl mode needs to wipe everything all data in int storage.
Whats the update? Did it went well? I mean through edl mode using MiFlash.
Hey,
I also have a question. If I officially unlock my bootloader and some how it gets locked again then can I unlock it again officially?
I flash MIUI 8 mm from cm 14.1 , via two booted but mi account verification error . Not go beyond that . What to do ?
I have now installed custom rom on my phone. I have a problem when turning into MIUI. I used the zcx recovery and flash the latest Global rom downloaded from the official website, then my phone becomes brick.
you unlocked officially or unofficially? i am pretty sure you unlocked unofficially

I haven't unlock, just flash the recovery using 9008 mode.
When back to miui you need flash miui firmware after flash rom.
1-flash rom or restore twrp nandroid miui
2-flash latest miui firmware
And Never flash oficial miui roms, can relock your bootloader or encrypt data partition.

Hi,
I have 2 RN3P, both running a custom rom.
One has an unlocked bootloader and another has a locked bootloader.
I'm looking to sell these phones.
I would like to know how can I return to a COMPLETELY stock rom, meaning NO TWRP, locked BL, etc.
I'd prefer not triggering ARB.
Could anyone please tell me which firmware to flash and which method to us ? TWRP or MiFlash ?
I'm ok with using an older firmware too, I just need to return the phone to factory condition.
Thanks for any help.

For unlocked bootloader u can flash using mi flash and fastboot mode.
For locked bootloader u need to put phone in EDL mode and flash using miflash.

ARB is Anti Rollback Protection bro
this will disable u to dongrade to lower ROM version bro
okay bro?
ARB is not implemented for RN3. So don't worry, just flash latest fastboot ROM from official website (http://en.miui.com/a-234.html) using Mi Flash (clean and lock) and you will be good to go.
I have done it a few times, haven't faced any problem even for a single time

Hi,
I have 2 RN3P, both running a custom rom.
One has an unlocked bootloader and another has a locked bootloader.
I'm looking to sell these phones.
I would like to know how can I return to a COMPLETELY stock rom, meaning NO TWRP, locked BL, etc.
I'd prefer not triggering ARB.
Could anyone please tell me which firmware to flash and which method to us ? TWRP or MiFlash ?
I'm ok with using an older firmware too, I just need to return the phone to factory condition.
Thanks for any help.

Download global Stable rom( I flashed DEV last month and it worked for me) if you are form India. If miui flash tool doesnt detect your phone in EDL mode, use miflashtool 20160830 / https://androidmtk.com/download-xiaomi-mi-flash-tool
Please use caution and do it at your own risk . I reverted my phone to DEV fastboot ROM & locked bootloader to getaway from ZCX TWRP issues.
My issue is resolved.
I used the oldest rom I could find (marshmallow).
I used MiFlash, fasboot for unlocked bootloader and EDL mode for locked bootloader.
Thanks for the help everyone!
