Hello, I'm new to the ROM installation stuff and I'd like some questions answered.
I've got a Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 PRO.
1. Will a ROM for a Redmi Note 3 work for a Note 3 Pro?
2. Do ROMs work in all regions? If I downloaded a ROM made for China or Europe, will my phone still connect to Australian mobile networks?
3. What ROMs would people recommend for a Note 3? I'm after better speed and battery life.
Thanks in advance guys
Regards,
Anthony

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?

Hi
Whats up?
Bought the Redmi 3 Pro 3GB/32GB version.
After read a lot and especially the ROMs suitable for Redmi 3 Pro thread
I read that the MIUI's rom is onerous the phone with so much bloatware apps(cleanmaster, antivrus, Micloud and so more).
So, what is the most stable rooted rom w/o bugs at the area? (Read that the CM13 still have some annoying bugs)
I'm totally noob at the beginning after buying a new device
Saw the MIUI 8 V6.7.7 -BUT- still prefer more "puerer" rom and ofcoarse - with the least Lags as possible.
Prefer a rom that comes rooted comes with twrp + gapps installed that keeps the great battery life of the RN3 PRO.
Is there a "tut's" for how to?
Thanks very much for your help
Been using nehz's CM 12.1 for weeks and it's been pretty stable, some small bugs but it's not that bad. Battery life is almost the same as MIUI, I get a 6.5 to 7 hours SOT.
I'm new to MIUI also have a Redmi 3 pro for two weeks now and I have to say I'm quite happy with MIUI so far. Im currently running the MIUI 8 spaceX rom which is rooted so any apps I don't want to use I have frozen or uninstalled using titanium backup. Before this I've always had some form of CyanogenMod on my older phones and thought that I'd have to flash cm again but so far I'm happy with MIUI

Thanks for your replays!
I always prefer a ROM without bloatware, that's why I think I would prefer the CM.
Is there a way to flash the ROM and and root it at the same process?
Thanks again.
There's no bloatware in the either of ManHiT's MIUI roms. Maybe 6 or 7 system apps that you won't want to use but these are easily uninstalled once you have root.

I second this. In SpaceX/Manh_IT bloatware should not be a problem. I've rooted and removed the ones that I do not use. Just make sure you NEVER remove the MI Account and Find Phone applications. IT WILL render your phone unuseful and needing to flash again.
Thanks very much for your help.
I got the MTK Helio X10 version.
I understood that this is a sub-model for the Chiniese market.
I plan to root it and in case i wont be satified with the MIUI, would flash some clean rom that would be as close to a stock android.
Is there any GLOBAL rom for this model?
Have a good weekend!

Redmi 3 is a model for the Chinese model, there is no submodel. You probably got a fake.

Hi,
This is what I ordered:
http://www.geekbuying.com/item/Xiao...7-16-0MP-TOUCH-ID---Silvery-White-362395.html
Are you sure that there is 1 global model?
Cuase, I read that there is 2 models with 2 different proccesors:
1) MTK chipsent (Qualcomm Snapdragon 650 Hexa Core Helio X10)
2) MSM chipsent (Qualcomm MSM8956 Snapdragon 650)
So there is must be a defference with the roms for the 2 sus model's, arent?
Would love to be more clear about that.
Thanks!

Sorry, my mistake when typing.
No matter if the forum is about NOTE 3 or NOTE 3 PRO. You bought a NOTE 3 version.
Here on this forum we talk about Redmi 3 / PRO not Redmi NOTE 3 / PRO.
You need ask for help on this forum.
Regards.
Thanks alot guys :highfive:

yes there is as officially miui 8 has been released for redmi 3 pro
most work as they have the same hardware only storage and ram difference.fingerprint might not work if its only for redmi 3
you have to search the thread and see comments if someone has mentioned them running on redmi 3 pro or not.
most work but still prevention is better than cure

Yes, Xiaomi upload the same system for redmi 3 and redmi 3 pro. I alraedy updated my redmi 3 pro to Miui 8 without unlocking bootloader and the fingerprint works.
my note 4SD/4x is coming within 3 days so im here to ask question so that i know what im doing.
lets just say i dont know what note 4 i got if its 4SD/4X
so my questions are:
1. how to tell if its note 4SD/4X?
2. what apps to use to tell if its SD or MTK?
3. so there are different types of camera sensors, what apps to use to tell what sensors does i have? and which is better?
4. also there are 2 types of fingerprint scanner FPC and Goodix, what is better and why?
5. if my phone has unlocked bootloader can i use OTA updates without problem?
6. if rooted can i use OTA update?
7. if my device is note 4SD can i use this stock rom? Redmi Note 4X Global (http://en.miui.com/download-321.html#474)
8. if my device is note 4x can use this stock rom? Redmi Note 4 Qualcomm Global (http://en.miui.com/download-309.html#468)
9. if i have TWRP recovery and custom ROM installed can i use the process above (question 7 or 8) to restore it into stock rom?
10. if my device have a tampered/vendor/unofficial ROM can i restore it to Official Stock ROM? then how?
sorry for many questions this is my first xiaomi device and im confused between note 4 and 4x also the process to go back stock rom if its the same with samsung devices..
thank you in advance..

1,2,3. Install AID64 app from Playstore and you will find what you need.
4. Google is your best friend:good:
5. Yes
6. Not sure but mostly a yes unless you have installed some custom recovery like twrp
7,8. Both are the same. Better to flash fastboot version instead of flashable zip. Use google to find the fastboot version rom
9. Yes but you need to modify the flashable zip before flashing or else you will end up with a locked bootloader. Those flashable zips have a script for locking bootloaders automatically.
10. Device gets tampered only if you mess around with its parts. To restore to stock using fastboot version rom ONLY. How to flash the rom? Once again google is your best friend.
Hope this helps. Good luck

I'll help some questions since someone already answered all your questions.
1. There is 3 versions, Redmi Note 4 (MTK), Redmi Note 4x (SD 3/32 and MTK 4/64), Redmi Note 4 (Global) (All SD versions) (same as 4x just different bands for global market). Easy way, look at your box.
2. That easy, some apps will do, or you can look at your about devices. If octacore SD, decacore MTK
3. Yes, there are 3 different camera sensors, Sony IMX, Samsung s5k, Omnivision OV. You can see *#*#6484#*#* which one better? Idk, some people like the sony one.
4. For custom roms, FPC better.
Just remember the code name, If you have SD version the code name is "mido" and Mediatek "nikkel" so you wont cross flashing roms.

Hi devs, I have a redmi note 5 running MIUI 9.6.2 locked. I want to address this question to both official MIUI ROMs and custom ROMs: can I flash a rom for redmi note 5 Pro on the redmi note 5? Thanks.
Nope, you better don't. Note 5 pro Has SD 636 and regular Note 5 has SD 625. Similar but not the same.
What about installing redmi note 5 rom on redmi note 4 ?

Never flash a rom that isn't for your phone or you will very likely brick your phone
Android isn't like windows, you can't simply install the same version on every phone, each rom is only meant to run on a certain device with a specific configuration.
