I'm planing to buy a Redmi Note 3 but I've had bad luck with variants of other phones so I just wanted to make sure this device has no variants that are not supported because I only want this phone for the roms so please tell if is there a variant of this phone that I shouldn't buy if I want to flash roms and mods? thanks in advance
This device has couple variants:
- 16GB ROM/2GB RAM
- 32 GB ROM/3 GB RAM
- 32 GB ROM/ 3 GB Special Edition only with Snapdragon 650 CPU ( called by codename in the forum Kate )
Kenzo and Kate are basically the same as far as CPU but there is a diffrence - Kate has LTE band 20 enabled which is useful in Poland where I live. You can flash kenzo roms on kate as long as you fallow the instructions given in opening posts. Hope it helps. ^^

Thank you for the information
I just want to make sure I don't buy the device and end up with a non-supported variant that I can't flash and modify

Hi, I bought this phone for a relative who lives in India. However I did not realize countries use specific bands. My question is will this model be able to work in India ?? It's also unlocked if that helps storage is 16gb with 2gb ROM. Thank you

Hi! I don't know what to do... buy the kenzo version (the one that almost everyone have it) or the Kate special edition (with the 4g B20 band unlocked, which is now available to buy in aliexpress). Kenzo has a lots of developers but Kate has Android 6.0 and everyone who has flashed the rom said that is far better than the other roms. What would you do?
Thanks!
Please, give us a link to Kate in AliExpress

I think the Kate is the last version of Note 3 Pro ..
I will wait for someone to correct me.
I'm also interested to know.. Looks like the only difference is that Kate has more 4G bands (hence the bigger size, to handle more antennas)..
Not sure about more infos..
The previous pasted link is off.. There's this one: https://www.aliexpress.com/store/pr...-Smartphone-5-5-Inch/2178148_32717858702.html
I purchased Redmi Note 3 Pro from banggood (Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro 5.5-inch 2GB RAM 16GB Snapdragon 650 Hexa-core 4G Smartphone)
After purchasing it I have come to know that there are several versions of the phone: regular, global, special edition. I would like to find out which version my phone is and most importantly, if it is capable of receiving bands 2 and 4 connections.
I am in the US and plan to ATT carrier with the phone. I have seen some threads where users have had success getting 4G on T-Mobile.
Check this out : https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/wiki/specs/note3
You have the regular Redmi Note 3 Snapdragon model (2GB/16GB) codenamed "kenzo"
It comes with 2 official MIUI ROMs & 1 unofficial MIUI ROM which is often flashed by third-party sellers like gearbest, banggood etc.
- China ROM : Chinese, English + No Google Apps
- Global ROM : Muti-language + Google Apps
- Vendor ROM : Multi-language + Google Apps + Malwares + Bloatware
After you receive the device with vendor ROM you can flash official MIUI ROM via EDL mode using PC

Thank you very much for the information, I have already flashed to MIUI 8.
One more quick question, do you know whether my redmi is compatible with ATT bands? I did a quick search on AT&T bands and found the following:
AT&T 4G HSPA and HSPA+ use 850Mhz(Band 5) and 1900Mhz(Band 2) bands but it all depends on area if they own a license. LTE uses Band 17(700Mhz), Band 5(850Mhz), Band 2(1900Mhz), Band 4(1700/2100Mhz) currently.

The specs from the page you provided state:
Supported bands: FDD-LTE (B1/B3/B4/B5/B7/B8), TD-LTE (B38/B39/B40/B41), TD-SCDMA (B34/B39), WCDMA (B1/B2/B4/B5/B8), GSM (B2/B3/B5/B8), CDMA1X/EVDO (BC0)

Check it here for compatibility : http://willmyphonework.net/
Also you may need to contact AT&T support and ask them if they support the required bands via cellular towers in your area. There are tools available online which show the heatmap of the coverage alongwith the band information of a given locality.
Hi, i buyed a Redmi Note 4x "INTERNATIONAL VERSION 3GB RAM 32GB ROM" from GearBest.
I flashed the last Global Dev Rom before i test it and after that i put in my sim card and i check that the signal didn't work.
In setting i can set manually the operator line and whene i try to do that the phone see all carriers (Vodafone, H3G ecc) but it can't connect to no one!
I can't call, use internet... I Tryed the Global Stable but it didn't work anyway.
It's possible i flashed the wrong rom the first time?
Any solution?
Please Help ME
First don't buy official products from a unofficial merchants ...and it looks like it's ur ROM issue ....so do change ur rom
Have you tried Global Stable ROM instead?
This phone looks good and balanced.
If I buy in China, it looks better because the RAM is 6GB at similar price.
I would like to be able to rebrand a non-Chinese rom just like any other Huawei product.
In other Huawei products, how long did it take?
there is already official stock full update available

Hey there,
thanks for your answers, I had the same question as the one starting this thread.
Now I became a little sceptic since the updates mentioned in the thread that's linked above, are for the honor 10 model COL-L29 (4gb RAM) – the 6gb RAM version has the code COL-AL10 though – are there any updates / EU ROMs for COL-AL10 that someone knows of?
I guess you can't just install firmware for the 4gb version on the 6gb version, or can you?
Would be awesome if someone knows of something or maybe has the 6gb version themselves + official Global/EU ROM on it.

Currently very little is known about this device software and hardware variants.
Though the device is launched with Emui 8.1 some models have march or april or may android update out of the box. we need to wait till june security update to know more about it.
Most of the EU variants are updated to may security patches.
Yes stock ROM available
Yes stock ROM for L29 is available. I have seen somewhere. That was for Europe and some other countries and B104.

You are in wrong section its for Honor 10 not 10 lite you need to post in that forum.
BTW do you have bootloader unlocking code ?
If not I think there will be anyway to rebrand it.
