Your variant is Qualcomm or Mediatek?
Do you have ADB Drivers and Fastboot Drivers?
You also need Android Kitchen for it, along with TWRP 3.0.2-2 (for Qualcomm) and TWRP 3.0.0-2 (for Mediatek).
Your bootloader whether be locked or unlocked, I can get you to unlock it yourself, so no worries about that.
Kindly respond and then, I will assist you with the complete guide.

However if you like you can get yourself a rooting guide from these links as well:
1. MiUi Official - Mediatek -> http://en.miui.com/thread-221184-1-1.html
2. MiUi Official - Qualcomm -> http://en.miui.com/thread-240531-1-1.html
This is a cool guide for any further or if you do not understand anything: http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/unlock-bootloader-twrp-root-7-2-3-t3359492
Also: The easiest way is when you are flashing the ROM. During that time just decompress the boot.img and remove ",verify" and set ro.secureboot.devicelock=0, and recompress, flash the file. Done..
Just go jay kapoor's video how to root redmi note 3 easiest method ,you don't need anything thing. It will work on every miui version but for Indian version only
Make sure to backup your phone before installing TWRP and rooting your Xiaomi.

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
Hello xda,
please bear with me, but I'm a total noob when it comes to playing with Android (but I would like to learn).
My Redmi 3 came with MIUI Global 7.1 Stable 7.1.1.0.0(LHPCNCK) - some multilanguage ROM. I want the official one which has updates weekly (or biweekly), the one with English and Chinese languages I guess?
Do I have to root the phone? Unlock bootloader? What's the procedure? Please write it step by step.
You can use MiFlash to install an official ROM on a boot loader locked phone.
I would use one of the modified ROM though, because the official one has quite a number of Chinese apps and doesn't have the Play Store installed.
Step by step guide is available here:

Thanks for the reply, do you know if there is a guide on how to do an update for this device? Sorry when it comes to these types of problems, i'm not always sure what steps to follow
the thing is its a mtk device so you gonna need 3 tools apps for pc and files
firstly you gonna need the the lollipop file to flash,where to get that i have no clue( i think its packed differently than my samsung cm12 files i work with.then you gonna need the flashing software for mtk devices and your gonna need bootloader unlocked and some drivers for your OS.I fixed a mtk device a few months back and i do have all the files names somewhere.
1-mediatek vcom drivers
2-scatter file(device specific)
3-lollipop img file
4-mtk droid tools
guides are on this site and google,thats how i fixed a bricked pixie2 phone

Welcome to Redmi Note 3 family.
Kenzo or Kate?
Snapdragon standard variant is called as a 'kenzo' and special edition Redmi note 3 with different radios version is called as a 'kate'.
Global/ Chinese?
There are two types of MIUI ROMs.
1. Global
2. Chinese
Difference in these both ROMs is that, you will find some chinese material here and there in chinese ROM. Global is fully in english.
Again there are two subtypes of these two ROMs which are Stable and Dev/Beta. Sometimes Beta/Dev ROM is also called as a 'weekly'.
So basically most of the devices have 4 official MIUI ROMs which are:
1. Global Stable
2. Global Beta or Global Dev
3. Chinese Stable
4. Chinese Beta or Dev
There is no connection between the type of ROM and unlocking bootloader.
Bootloader unlock method?
Since you know there are two methods to unlock the bootloader, I will discuss them one by one.
1. Official
You don't require to flash any latest or dev or chinese ROM to unlock using official method.
First of all you need a persmission from Xiaomi to unlock the bootloader.
Goto http://en.miui.com/unlock/
Login here. The account should be same as the one is on your phone.
Write the reasons for unlocking.
After that Xiaomi will grant you the permission. If you don't receive any SMS from Xiaomi, just check on the above link.
Even if you get the permission its most likely you will not able to unlock nootloader on first attepmt. But don't worry, try again after few days.
Use MiUnlock tool. Once you get the permision, that tool will be available on the above link or you can always download from here http://en.miui.com/unlock/download_en.html
2. Unofficial
I have unlocked my phone by unofficial method 6-7 months ago and I still have no issues at all.
Open this folder https://mega.nz/#F!LUxlHJBC!RK5_8fta4XWAVFqWoWrvjQ
It has everything what you need for unlocking bootloader unofficially.
Just follow this guide and you are good to go: GUIDE
You might have to disable Driver Signature Verification if you are using Windows 8 or higher (google it)
Recovery?
I will suggest you only and only following recoveries:
If you have unlocked your bootloader officially, You must use ZCX only.
If you have unlocked your bootloader unofficially, you must use either Alka or Cofface
Here is a thread where you will find everything about recoveries.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/redm...twrps-t3406708
All download links are in that thread.
Hope this will help! Happy flashing!

Thank Q so much bro
Hi All,
Greetings,
Is it possible to get stock android in our RN4 Snapdragon version. I would like to have clean(stock Android) and top of that rooted device to unlock and use some of the features.
Please Assist/guide me further (Don't like the bloatware from MIUI). any related ROM's without bug also would help me . just route some of the links(Along with installation guide).
Thanks
i can't help you but...
what you are asking is relative easy to achieve but you have to understand that this may have brick your device so if your are goin to make this mod to your device do it at your own risk.
1- you need to know what version of RN4 you have (mediatek or snapdragon) so you can flash the propper custom rom.
2- you'll have to unlock your bootloader, you can google: "how to unlock bootloader for redmi note 4" it's very easy with the propper files, maybe you 'll have to wait 70 hours for xiaomi to give you permission to unlock the bootloader.
3- you'll need to flash a custom recovery. I use twrp official for RN4, but others use orange fox recovery. Both do the same job so it is your choise.
4- stock android`s "feel" is mostly made by a AOSP custom rom. so search wich one likes you and try it (only those wich are made for your chipset).
5- also opengapps need to be flash, at least nano version in order for google plays services to work.
6- maybe you like to flash magisk for root access and magisk hide for several apps that work with safety pass
7- enjoy
hope you can make it, all the process is really easy and feels great to have a 4 years old device running latest android a nd the latest security patch update.
ps. don't forget to install all the propper drivers for your device.
:good:
