Hello, I want to order this phone for my birthday, because my previous phone (Galaxy S3 Neo) isn't that good anymore. The only problem is that, there are many places I could order this phone, but a lot of them have bad reviews. What I am looking for is the Snapdragon version, with 3GB RAM and 32GB ROM. I believe it's a kenzo device (correct if I am wrong). I prefer tax free and faster shipping. Also, will this phone work with my provider? My provider is Tele2 Lithuania, I've checked many places but there are so many versions of this phone, I just can't find the correct one.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Did you buy it from there? It seems that it comes with a chinese ROM pre-installed. How easy is it to flash an international rom?

Easy via EDL. If you are new in flashing, it can be confusing. You can unlock the bootloader and flash via fastboot or recovery. Unlock bootloader request in PIA process and it usually take 10-20days after receiving the unlock permission from Xiaomi.

Without bootloader unlock: You can't do anything, be it flashing twrp or flashing custom roms. You can only flash MIUI stock roms via EDL with Mi flash tool. Bootloader unlock doesn't void warranty for Xiaomi phones so I find no reason why someone wouldn't unlock the bootloader.

Yes you can as that's a permanent unlock. I have purchased codes from eBay in the past. Make sure the seller has a good rating before you buy though.

What are you talking about !!!!!
Unlocking SIM card has nothing to do with flashing a ROM ! It 'just' enables you to change phone carrier!
Unlocked or not you can flash whatever you want !!!
To flash a rom you jus need to follow one of the noob guides on how to root/installa custom recovery....

Not all unlocks are permanent, and as the OP stated, when he flashed Roms with his current unlock, he loses his unlock.
@ op, I would flash a stock Rom before using a new unlock just to be sure.
Can't help you with reliable sites though, check feedback.

not sure where your from but from THREE UK they officially unlock your phone within 5 minutes, yes its costs about £15 which is roughly $25 but its worth it. i don't have to worry about it getting locked again when flashing different roms. Call your carrier see if they can unlock your device.

im from romania but my phone is from austria...
I live in Syria and all we have limited options for phones so I was very excited to learn that a xiaomi dealer started selling a couple of models one of them being the Redmi Note 3 specially with my 4 years old Nexus 5 battery almost dying so I payed 200$ to buy this phone which is A LOT of money here only because I noticed how much Roms and Mods it has and now after about 10 days of buying it I still get the error when trying to unlock the boot loader at 50% "Current account is different from the account info on the device" even after trying all the tutorials I found about turning gps and find my phone and locating the phone on the map and using the developer Rom still the same result.
I really really need root and having the phone without even the ability to root makes it unusable but selling the phone will lose me most of the price since the brand is unknown in my country so I have to sell for much less than what I bought for
I'm writing this just to ask the xda people is there ANY way at all to save me from selling the phone because I like it but I just can't be without root I'm willing to pay money just please any solution
if there's nothing I'll just sell and probably never buy a Xiaomi product again in my life I know Xiaomi doesn't care but I just had to say it because I'm so angry
You don't need root to have the opportunity to install custom roms all you need is unlocked bootloader. I guess you tried unlock bootloader by official method and it doesn't work for you, so try unofficial method: https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/method-miui-8-unlock-bootloader-twrp-t3529458 (with youtube video step by step)

Salam brother, im sorry for whats going on in syria...
You should unlock it unofficially, because i have been doing it too.
Have you flashed the developer rom from the updater app? (from the phone itself)
You first need to have this rom on the device in order to unlock the bootloader. This will wipe all your phone's data.
@mshtob You have to wait 7 days more after getting unlock permissions. Unofficial version have some flaws,do read more about it. I recommend you to go back locked bootloader after 1month then try unlocking official way. Also when unlocked unofficially, do cross check before flashing firmware as some firmwares lock device. It will create more problems for u.
Regards
Stop getting mad like an underage kid my friend, you just need to unlock your bootloader officially being in a official ROM and it works without problems because I didt it a lot of times in different versions with the official method.
If you don't like Xiaomi don't buy their phones. Also 200 dollars isn't a lot, you will pay a lot of stuff in your life. Phones are a need, not a toy to install custom roms. If you like to test ROMs and stuff I encourage you to test with your Nexus 5 or get another Nexus/Motorola.
I also have a Nexus 5 btw.
After unlock unofficially you have to delete EMMC appsboot. bin in firmware update folder in any miui rom with the help of RAR App from play store, which relock your phone. And use this patched twrp

Huawei stopped giving unlock codes for unlocking. Anyway there is no point of unlocking bootloader, because there is no custom roms
To unlock bootloader just use:
https://www.dc-unlocker.com
DC Unlock app or HCU.
You need 4 credits, in my case I was on android 8 update already and it worked flawlessly!
I did it, because of root. Adaway/Magisk/Titanium Backup.

Klem.. You are wrong. There are a few roms available for the phone which, of course, require an unlocked bootloader. So. IF you have an unlock code, there are roms for international versions: US devices are limited at the moment. IF you don't have a code, then you are unable to flash anything.

Of course. No problem with. I did wait with my two phones, too. And exactly 7 days (7x24=168), in a minute (I tried unsuccessfully few minutes before passing the 168 hours and then unlocked successfully a minute or two upon passing 168 hours)
And if you google, you can find pretty reasonable explanation for that policy - they want to make it harder for resellers to buy the phones (for cheaper prices) in China, unlock BL, flash Global or EEA ROM and sell abroad (for the higher price)

And don't believe to whatever YT (better read the stuff on XDA), otherwise you may sooner or later brick your phone and then, paying for the authorized EDL help will be costly
There are many people on XDA who followed one way or another some YT 'guides' (maybe the authors not providing full instructions or users not paying attention and not making their own research to read and learn before flashing something, or both), resulting by bricking their phones.
But they learnt the lesson for 30-50 Euros
Thanks
