[Q] Redmi 3 pro, prerooted? OTA when? - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers

Hello all,
i just receveid my redmi 3 pro (eu version with preinstalled play store) from amazon
i have 3 questions:
- is it normal that it's prerooted? i see supersu it's installed by default
- does this preroot have influence over OTAs ? i've never received any os update yet
- when will be available android 6 for redmi 3 pro?

Even I need to know when MM is coming to redmi note 3. Also when is the official release of MIUI 8.
Coming to your question, Yes it 's pretty normal for vendors to install EU rom and have the phone rooted in regions where the phone is not officially available.

I would say that pre rooting a device before it is even shipped is far from 'normal'.

As per my knowledge, the Xiaomi phones are not officially sold in all regions. And usually vendors who import the phones from China install custom roms on the phone. This is purely on my reading of various articles on the web.

[Q&A] [Newbie to RN3] Coming to Redmi Note 3 from Redmi 2 Prime

Hi, I am planning to buy the Redmi Note 3 silver (India). Would like to know a few things ---
1. Is the Indian version mostly found to be the SD (snapdragon) one, or the MTK (mediatek) one?
2. How is the development going on? Do we have any MM custom ROM/kernel combinations offering more than or around 8-9 hours of SOT? (with or without features like faux sound / dt2w / etc.)
3. I might sound like a total freeloader, I agree, but would request you to please direct me to a contact point if, for now, specific answers to questions above are unavailable.
Thanks a lot!

Okay.
1. Indian version is only snapdragon one.
2. Development is very fast and there are multiple of MM custom ROM around here like cm13 by @santhos M and another cm13 by @banmeifyouwant. You can see yourself the redmi note 3 section.
enjoy your RN3 with custom ROMs
Next Sale?

What ROMs are available for Redmi Note 3 Pro?

I'm about to get a Redmi Note 3 Pro next year and I want to install a newer version of android 6.0 or 7.1.
I see many ROMs for Redmi Note 3 but I'm not sure if they would work for the Pro version and I don't want to flash the wrong ROM and brick my device.
hey, every roms for redmi note 3 "snapdragon" are for redmi note3 pro

Mokee marshmallow and CyanogenMod 13 are stable, I like slim rom. I have come full circle back to global dev mm.
Fortunately we got a separate thread between Redmi Note 3 Snapdragon version and the other Redmi Note 3 Mediatek version in XDA, so there will be easier for you to choose what ROM u wanna install on ur device and just make sure that u are in right thread.
We got a plenty custom ROM based on MM as well as Nougat and we all know that Nougat is still in alpha or beta stage so you may come across with particular bugs that came from the device cos we got some different versions like fingerprint sensor, camera, led etc, but in MM we have almost rock stable build, choose wisely.
And another thing that u wanna note that actually we have two version ot Redmi Note 3 Snapdragon, they are Kenzo (which ppl mainly use this device) and another one with codename Kate (special edition). What we look here, that Kenzo has many dev support whereas Kate doesn't and you may end up with bootloop if u flash Kenzo's ROM over Kate, but sometimes it will work sometimes ot doesn't. Also if we compare side by side between Kate and Kenzo, we look that Kate is bit taller than Kenzo, thanks to additional 4G bands.
That's all I think and I hope you are satisfied with ur decision like I did.
Last but not least, WELCOME. THANKS.

It is not expected to get Nougat based MIUI 9, but will probably get a marshmallow based version.

Redmi Note 3 will get MIUI 9, but based on MM, that is Marshmallow. It'll NOT get MIUI 9 based on Nougat. You guys seem to be new to Xiaomi devices, am I right? Haha

I didn't find anything so much for you to be lmao . And ya as far as I checked it's said miui 9 is based on nougat . you may be right if it's ur family business . Because even the miui people had confirmed me and told me it's based on nougat . And ya if it's your family business go a head and change it back to to mm

Yep, you seems like a total noob. You'll see for yourself, when RN3 will get MIUI 9 based on Marshmallow.
Even MIUI confirmed you? Haha.
It's the news sites which bring false info. by saying it's based on Nougat. In the time of MIUI8, they were saying the same thing. But guess what? MIUI 8 was bases on Lollipop for RN3. Later an update for MM was available months later. But Nougat will not get released to RN3.
I repeat, you'll see for yourself. Also, why are you bringing "family business" in our conversation? It's very cringe-worthy.
Honestly, I don't think Kenzo will ever get nougat. Please forget about miui nougat and move on with life
Don't buy any XIaomi device if you want updates and move on with your life.
[MIUI] Xiaomi Mi 2/2S Confirmed to Receive MIUI 9 Update!

3) From late September, 2017
MIUI 9 China ROM for all the other Xiaomi / Redmi devices (except Mi 1/1S and Mi 2A) will be successively released to the public!
http://en.miui.com/thread-711086-1-1.html
I'm bothered with one question. Today is a miui 9 beta roll out day. If the link for rn3pro still has not been leaked does it mean that the beta firmware will be tested by the wave method? At the begining they ll be test a small group of devices and along with it slowly adding the other devices?
Is there anyone who got successfuly aplied for beta testing? Please take at least screenshot from the closed section with links on the miui forum to see what devices are under the test now.

How did one plus 5T get miui 10 port on Oreo and not our device?

Can this be ported to our device? If not why?
I'm so mad right now
It's so unfair that non-Xiaomi device get MIUI10 Beta port...... and RN4 don't....
I though RN4 have best development comunity but I guess I'm wrong....

Best development or worst community and blame xioame also op5t get miui port from mi6 that is flagship from last year not midranger rn4
Truth is that none of the developers and only a few users actually care about MIUI. We all come to XDA to finally delete MIUI from our phones and install custom ROMs.
Our phone will eventually get MIUI 10 which will still be based on Nougat (Mido) or Marshmallow (Nikel). By the time that happens, we will probably have Android P Beta for our phone.
Why do you people actually still use MIUI?
I don't use miui. But a phone that isn't even from xiaomi got it on the latest android version. This is important
And who would use a beta with the following bugs:
Not let me remove core MIUI app and too many bloatware Chinese app.
Can not change stock browser with third one as default one.
Same with music or video.
Nova launcher not working as it should with some bugs having
Continues issues with WhatsApp app not receiving notifications on time.
No ambient display.

I am talking about how a phone that isn't even from xiaomi got miui 10 on Oreo, while RN4 would get it only on nougat although officially. If miui 10 can be ported on Oreo then it could be done
Those bugs are terrible, but that isnt what the question is for. Ambient display wouldn't matter for our phone though.

Xiaomi simply doesn't update the Android version once the phone is released. That's why people come here in the first place.
What do you guys actually miss about or like about MIUI?
My thought is why do you even care what version android you are on if you use miui? Miui no matter the android base is the same. Miui is not just a skin on android but a massive rework of the entire code giving android 5.x the same features as 8.x. Miui also keeps the android security patch fairly updated.
I live in the US and have used miui ported roms since 2013 on gingerbread devices. Miui has always had better features than stock android and never mattered if you had new or old devices new or old android version if you had 2.2.3 miui you had the same rom features as everyone using 2.2.3.
The best question. If developer can port miui10 , our phone can get any version of miui unofficially. If op5T can get unofficially, RN4x can get also . All in developers hands.

Because Android OS version matters, the os upgrade is not a skin upgrade. Miui skins contains features but it doesn't bring os level support from apps and security upgrades.
5T has MSM8998 and Mi6 has the same processor too.
Redmi Note 4(Qualcomm) has MSM8953.
Im working on an MIUI Oreo port from Redmi S2 but im very busy these days so its moving a bit slowly. Ive booted the leaked one from Redmi 5 Plus so i think i can boot the S2 one too.
I personally wanna wait Redmi 5 Plus to update
Ill probably not release it but who knows...

i feel pretty confident that xiaomi will give miui 10 based on oreo 8.1 . Look at all those **** tonne of xiaomi phones with snapdragon 625. Heck they launched redmi y2 (redmi s2) in india which has miui 10 on oreo 8.1 .So it's a pretty big chance that redmi note 4 will get official oreo, and even redmi 5 plus

The modded MIUI 10 for OnePlus which was posted here is based on Oreo 8.0.
And if Xiaomi updated their old phones with new Android versions, people would be less likely to buy new ones.
I'd love to see a MIUI 10 ported ROM on Oreo.

huh xiaomi's been using the sd 625 for abt 2.5 years now. idk how long they will keep using it. there's no point of upgrading a xiaomi to another xiaomi if u won't go for the higher segment.
