MiFlash mismatched device error - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers

Hello,
I received my Redmi Note 3 Snapdragon edition today from geekbuying. It is listed as being on miui 7 stable, I am trying to install miui 8 global stable rom. I have tried the updater app with the error that it can not verify the update so it wont install. I installed miflash, all the necessary drivers, downloaded the current fastboot image, but when i try to flash it I get the error that it is a mismatched device and rom. I am stuck. Please help.
Thank you,
Dave

I figured it out, they sent me the special edition global version.
Thank you.
Dave

"install update.zip signature verfication failed "while flashing twrp

Hi!
I just got my redmi note 2 and found the device full of chinese apps and the battery life was not what I expected.So I want to flash a new rom and a custom recovery.So I tried to flash TWRP 2.5.7 and I Followed these steps:
downloaded TWRP 2.5.7 and renamed it update.zip
Saved it to Internal Memory
Used the updater app, phone automatically went to the recovery mode
started flashing TWRP
but when The process reached 99% a error message read"update.zip signature verification failed"
I did a full wipe and did it all over again.Same error.also tried MI PC suite but it would'nt let me create a backup hence no flashing.So I am at my wits end here folks.Please help!!!!! And being new to MIUI doesn't help either
I am currently running on MIUI 7.0 stable (7.0.8.0)
SOS SOS!!!!!
You can't flash an unsigned zip file with updater/mi recovery.
MiPCSuite can't create Redmi Note 2 backups, it's a bug.
For install twrp recovery install an official developer rom (you can find it on http://en.miui.com). Now you have root access going into Security / Permissions / Root Permissions.
Install flashify, open it. It will say you haven't got root. Go in into Security / Permissions / Root Permissions and enable it.
Now flash the recovery.img file of TWRP with flashify as a Recovery image.

Thank You sir.I will definitely try this. I will let you know if this worked for me.
Also, can the official developer rom be flashed by the updater app? Or some other methods are required?

ERROR 7 while updating lineage OS

I had downloaded latest version of lineage OS from official website and I tried to flash on my REDMI Note 3 Kenzo but I can't here is the screenshot attached of remark.
Pls help
I was just about to post about this. I have the same issue, a work around I found was described in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGVOR0kugZw
However, now that I have it installed, and try to OTA update, I get the same, I have to repeat the steps in the video every time I update, kinda frustrating and unnecessary imho. I had the latest MIUI updated and unlocked with the miui unlocker before the wiping and installing. All I have found its related to the bootloader not supporting android N.
Look at the error and you will see the issue.
Your firmware is too old.
Download one from Lineage thread and flash that before Lineage
update, I installed the firmware from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/development/firmware-hmnote3proglobal-t3574361
now update goes thru like its supposed to
every recovery i flash gives me ERROR 7 :/
i have a 'kate' and befor i used to flash roms without issue. kenzo roms and flash kate modem done.
but phone crashed some months ago so i changed but now i want it again. and now im back on did a edl flash miui beta unlocked bootloader flashed twrp (all the twrp possible btw i tried all i could find) they all dont want to flash a custom rom i tried 7 different ZIP of custom roms... i tried to flash 4 diffeeent versions of RR 5.7.4 and 1 RR 5.8.4 all give error 7. flash kate modem. still error, then flashed modem with emmc thing patched nope still wont flash any custom rom
does anybody know how to fix this
You have to erase dalvik cache and DATA it will bring you new setup but still your device would be updated....

How can i install Nitrogen OS 8.1

Hello people,
I have V8.5.7.0.MHOMIED (MIUI8) on my Redmi Note 3 Snapdragon 2gb ram, i haven't unlocked my bootloader, and don't want to lose time by doing it officially.
Tried to flash ZXCTWRP a few times with miflash but it was stuck on copying some file... though the guides are very very old and probably not updated.
i am guessing i need twrp to flash nitrogen and thats all. thanks for all the help. :good:

Now Mi unlock tool is not giving any error while unlocking the phone. So it will take maximum 10 minutes to unlock your phone. Just request for unlock on the mi website. You will get confirmation in 5 minutes. After that try to unlock using MI unlock tool. It will success without any error. After that install any TWRP recovery(Red Wolf Recommended) and install the Rom.

"it's not allowed to upgrade to unofficial rom package"

Hey guys.
I have a redmi 5 currently with miui 9.6.3.0 global and locked bootloader, I'm trying to update to miui 10 8.9.6 via updater (as I see, it can be done without unlocking the device), but i'm constantly having the same error as soon as I try to select the file on the updater ("it's not allowed to upgrade to unofficial rom package"). Is there anything I can do to update to miui 10?
Steps I did:
- Downloaded the rom via this thread (version 8.9.6)
- Put the rom in the internal storage of the phone (in the "downloaded_rom" folder)
- Selected on the updater app... got the error everytime.
Thanks.
Same for me. I think you'll have to wait for bootloader unlock to flash beta on rosy.
Wait for another update bro
No need to unlock bootloader. It's very simple
Just follow the instructions of this video
https://youtu.be/t9VpdgkyL5I
& boom, you are succeeded!!!
My Redmi 5 Plus is already unlocked and it gives me the same error..

Question How to install stock global rom using miflash?

I have tried to install several times but the installation does not complete and fails
For RN10 phone tested MiFlash20181115 with fastboot version of Miui ROM.
If it doesn't work, you need to tell us what is not working and what MiFlash says.
