Hello all,
I have just received my International (kate - 152mm version) Redmi Note 3.
One of the first things I wanted to do was to root it, so I can remove some of the spyware.
I got the authorization code from Mi, but when I use the unlocker app, it always stops at 50%.
So I did a lot of research, and I realized that first I need to flash a developer rom - then I can unlock.
So: the question is - which version of the developer rom should I use?
Thank you for any pointers.
official unlock worked for me with last 6.10.13 global dev. i turned find my device first, then added my MI account in developer options->unlock status, and it worked flawlesly. eagerly waiting for official twrp
It is not possible to unlock bootloader on Kate model.
Even with the authorization form Xiaomi.

Kenzo rom are compatible with kate device.
Officiel unlock seems to be OK with the last 6.10.13 global dev
You don't need to officially unlock.
There is a tutorial here on XDA how to load twrp on locked bootloader and flash cm13 from it.
I'm using it right now without any issues.

Hello.
I just got my phone. I've imported the phone from China, so it's running Chinese ROM.
ROM is: MIUI V7.2,2.20.LHOCNDA
Now there is no Play Store.. I had Nexuses, OnePlus, M8, S6 edge.. And many other Android phones. I've rooted all of them. I am familiar with ADB, I know how to unlock bootloader on Nexus, OnePlus..
I've read trough the Redmi Note 3 PRO forum, and I see there can be problems with unofficial unlock. So I just applied for the official Unlock...
So can I flash the Global ROM with locked bootloader? If yes, how?
Can I root the Global ROM after the flash? If yes, how?
Can I unlock the bootloader on Global ROM?
What is the difference with Global ROM and dev. ROM?
Is there any reliable unlock method besides the official one? I am getting confused reading all of the way's to do it.
Any answerer will be appreciated :good:

if you want Play Store and multi lang you need global rom, but again be carefull with flashing
i don't recommend unlocking but for that you need dev rom otherwise you will get this error "Couldn't verify device at 50%"
I tried every way i could try but it always shows couldn't verify device it has beet 4 days since i got the permission i tried every way but nothing happened so i unlocked unofficialy but that was not a good experience to i revert back please help me in unlocking bootloader officially.

Try using a different pc. Make sure you have latest drivers and you are connected to internet. Make sure driver signature check is closed in windows 10. Use 64bit version of windows for this.
If nothing works, then take it to service centre and ask them for help. Or you can unlock officially. After unlocking officially, flash twrp and then flash the radio package compiled by banmeifyouwant. That package will replace your unofficial bootloader with a user debuggable one.

What rom did you have installed when you tried unlocking officialy? Was it developer rom?
Please wait 7 days to unlock ur device officially....I got permission last Monday and today my bootloader is unlocked
I unlocked the same day I received permission. It wouldn't work with global stable, worked like charm with latest global developer rom (downloaded from official site, flashed through updater app).
i have successfully unlocked bootloader by using friends pc it worked like a charm don't know what problem xiaomi has with my pc

Hey!
I am very sick of this phone, I want to try different roms and apps and I cannot get the bootloader unlocked. I made the request 2 months ago to unlock it, but got no answer, posted on their forum and still nothing.
There is no way to unlock this this ??
Thanks!
Have you rooted your phone?

i also did not got a message from them but when i used mi unlock tool it unlocked my phone.so you should try mi unlock tool and see if the unlock code was already sent to you but could not receive due to some reasons like me.
I got some problems to unlock my Redmi 3 Pro too, I was on Global Stable and was unable to unlock my phone.
I downloaded the developer ROM from MiUI site, updated manually via Updater app, and i successfully unlock my phone.

If you flash this ROM using edl mode and miflash tool ManhIT_ido_xhdpi_SpaceX 6.7.7 from https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24572369242688234
It it for locked bootloaders but is rooted and has twrp recovery installed. You can then flash other ROMs that usually require an unlocked bootloader. I've changed from the spaceX ROM to the latest weekly thunder ROM and over the weekend to the CM13 ROM by Anik_Khan.

Hi, maybe you can give me some guidance, here.
I'm willing to try the CM 13 in a redmi 3 pro. Have you download it the China Developer Rom?
Try flashing the latest developer ROM with miflash, and then unlock your bootloader

I did as you said but I couldn't boot into the spaceX rom. I booted in recovery and installed another ROM, but now I'm stuck with the MI logo and the phone restarts itself continously. any suggestions?
So I'm planning to buy https://www.geekbuying.com/item/Xiaomi-Redmi-Note-4X-3GB-RAM-32GB-ROM-Smartphone---Black-383175.html
Will all roms&kernels available on this forum work for the 4X aswell?

Oh yeah. As long as it's snapdragon 625 variant you're good to go!

Oh, great! It's a bit confusing with all the different models! Is unlocking the bootloader and flashing TWRP the same process aswell? I have a redmi note 3 prime. I had to get a code from Xiaomi via sms and then unlock it with a program. Then I could flash TWRP via flashboot. I assume it's the same here?

Well is your device Mi Max?? No. So all you can do is wait for someone to crack it, which is highly unlikely. It's not that easy stuff. When the pro devs get time and enough info they will surely do it.
And as far as the official unlock process through the MiUnlock software goes please wait for at least 5 days before trying to unlock again after a failed attempt. It sounds weird but it really is the solution most of the times. Just wait don't even try doing anything for 5 days and on the 6th day when you try you will most likely succeed. Try it. Remember, 5 days.:laugh::fingers-crossed:

I didn't mean any offence. Sure, your free to ask anything here. BTW do try waiting for some days before trying to unlock and also turn on Mi Sync for everything. Check MIUI forum on how to succeed in unlocking bootloader there are lot more tips and tricks regarding that topic there than here on XDA.
Peace.
