I'm looking forward to get a Redmi Note 3 Pro but the international "Kate" version would be better for me because of the LTE bands...
Is there any method to use "Kenzo" ROMs on a "Kate" version?
Yes. Just flash Kate firmware.
yes they have exactly the same hardware but kate support more bands.
after you flash (using "miflash.exe" if you have a locked bootloader) you can use all kenzo roms while still having kate bands

Hello to all, right now on GB there are an offer for a Redmi Note 3 pro "international edition".
Now i have a doubt... Is this the same as "special edition"? Because it has band 20 (800mhz) but is reported to have android 5.1 (special edition have marshmallow).
So what phone is this?
There are only two versions of the Redmi Note 3.
One is Kenzo and the other is Kate.
Kate is the Special/International/Taiwanese Edition.
When it has Band 20, it's Kate.

Thank you for answer, i have heard somewhere that kate version is slightly bigger than kenzo but in the description of this international version measures are the same, maybe is an error of GB.
most likely an error, yes. If you check official sources, Kate is 2mm longer. It has also been confirmed by a variety of uses.
So I'm buying this device but I'm note sure which version to get. As I understand these are the different versions:
Redmi note 3 pro special edition (also known as "Kate", supports more bands then Kenzo)
Redmi note 3 pro (also known as "Kenzo")
Then there is the SD and MTK editions and different ram sizes aswell.
I was thinking about buying Redmi note 3 pro special edition and I just wondered if the support for this device is different depending on which version you get?
Will all Snapdragon roms work on both Kate and Kenzo?

Kenzo/Kate has the most support.
Roms can be used interchangably on Kate and Kenzo. Only difference is in the modems afaik.

Alright, so the main difference will be that we have to flash different firmware/modem before flashing any roms? Does roms ever install modems aswell?

Yes.
Most ROMs do not contain firmware or modem.
Hello,how good (or non existent) is ROM compatibility between Kate (LTE) and Kenzo version? Since both versions (3/32GB,Snapdragon 650) cost same here,I will be getting LTE (Kate) version and was wondering how many ROMs on this subforum will work on it.
I have a Kate and i can flash any Rom made for kenzo. Just flash the right Firmware...
Well,I ordered Kenzo anyway,since Czech LTE plans are too expensive for me so I dont expect using 800MHz band in next 2 years and the case I ordered about 2 weeks ago from Aliexpress is only 150mm tall so Kate would not fit.
Every rom for kenzo works with kate, you only have to flash the kate firmware.
The phone was bought from China and has a lot of chinese apps inside. Some of the texts are still in chinese even after changing the language to english.
Is there a tool to load the US/UK version of ROM into mine?

You have all latest official ROM's here with flashing guide, choose correct model.
Do you have Snapdragon (Mido) or Mediatek (Nikel) variant?
Also what is your current firmware version?
Does anyone know if it is possible to flash the Global Rom 9.5.6 on the Redmi 5 Note China version and if so does the phone need to be unlocked or if not unlocked how to flash?
TIA
