Hi XDA,
i just got my RN3 (SD) from banggood and i'm on MIUI Global 7.1 Stable (7.1.99.99 LHOCNCL).
I have problems with some apps and i think its cause there is no locale for my country (Austria) and i configured the clock manually.
So i'm looking for options and clearification:
- I can flash official roms (from here) right away, correct? (without unlocking bootloader, rooting, TWRPing etc...)
- I'm waiting for my official unlock code. Can i unlock with my current rom (7.1.99.99) and newer global official roms? (here it says yes but not sure)
- MIUI is neat, but i kinda miss CyanogenMod. As far as i can tell there are no custom Roms out there with working RIL, fingerprint and stable enough for a daily use? RR seems on a good way and Mokee looks even more promising. Any recommendations or other roms i should keep an eye on?
Thanks for your help, much appreciated!
Yes you can unlock any miui version, and i prefer the official way. Just like you are doing.
As for ROMS i prefer Xiaomi.eu but i dont know why I get in a bootloop after i reboot into the ROM. And if you dont use FP sensor you can use CyanogenMod 13 is the best ROM out there, and i read that a chinese version of CM 13 is working everything (yes FP too).
And if you want you can install AOSP ROM with android 5.1.1 and everything working.

- Flashing official ROMs should not be a problem when you haven't unlocked your bootloader yet (read up when you unlocked it because there's a chance that flashing an official ROM may lock it again). Heads up: Flashing official Chinese ROMs when you're on Global didn't work for me.
- I recommend waiting for official unlock as well. I know the thread you linked to says it's possible to unlock on Global Stable, but for me it only worked on Global Developer. Upgrading from Global Stable to Global Developer works like a charm.
- The new alpha of CM13 by Santhosh M has working RIL from what I know and is relatively stable, but still far from bug free. If you are not too set on Android 6.0 you can also look for CM12.1 based cROMs. The RR ROM you linked is based on Santhosh M's port and will have the same problems. This is true for almost all CM13 based ROMs posted on here so far. People reserve their spot to develop the customized version of CM13, but in reality it all depends on when Santhosh M has enough of a break through to release a stable version.
I haven't looked into Mokee ROM so far, so no comment there. Might work well, but you definitely need to have an unlocked bootloader and a custom Recovery (Cofface's TWRP worked well enough for me) to flash them.
Best of luck and let's hope we get a stable CM13 soon.
edit: Seems like Mokee ROM faces the same problems as Santhosh M's port. I recommend just checking his post for updates. It will probably be the first one to actually port Android 6.0 to RN3. At least that is what I am doing.
@funkymaster be aware that your kenzo was flashed with an unofficial rom by your vendor (7.1.99.99), so first of all you have to get an official rom on your phone. Search the forum or google for 7.1.99.99, you will find guides that will help you (even in german).
Thank you very much for your input! You already helped me a lot.
I'm just gonna document here what i'm doing - maybe it will help others too.
What i have done:
- installed Mi PC Suite (for Xiaomi ADB drivers)
- downloaded MiFlash tool and current global stable rom from here (kenzo_global_images_V7.3.2.0.LHOMIDD_20160419.0000.19_5.1_global_19339c1a10.tgz)
Status: locked Bootloader, no root, vendor miui rom
Goal (for now): official global rom
Next step:
- flash downloaded rom with MiFlash
any input, recommendations still much appreciated
EDIT/UPDATE:
after entering the download mode (see guide) i got "RELINK HS-USB [...]" driver instead of "QUALCOMM HS-USB [...]" in windows device manager. I had to update driver, choose from list and select the qualcomm driver. First it wouldnt work (windows warned me that it couldnt start the device), but i just did a reboot of my phone an re-entered download mode and the yellow warning symbol was gone (in windows device manager).
Then i just followed the guide and flashed MIUI 7.3.2.0 global stable. It worked
Hi guys,
Long time Android user here - I've recently sold my Blackberry Priv and have picked up a Redmi 3. I'm struggling to wrap my head around the ROM terminology for this device.
- I am based in the UK, I can see in my device settings that I am on a 'Global' ROM
- I can see that there is a 7.3 version of miui available for this device, but cant find a reliable download source (currently running 7.2.7.0.0 - LHPCNDB)
- Will Miui 8 be released for this device (Global?)
- If I choose to flash the device with a Chinese version, what will the differences in the software be?
- The BL unlocking processes confuses me - do I literally need to send a request to Xiaomi for this to be done or can I do it via a tool?
I think this is all for now - I'd appreciate some help clearing up the above questions.

There is no official global rom for this device at the moment. Your rom seems to be a cooked room by the seller.
Official rom comes with English and Chinese only (and a lot of Chinese useless apps)
My suggest is to flash official developer rom (you need the developer rom to unlock bootloader), unlock bootloader (yes you need to apply for it to Xiaomi). Once unlocked, install twrp and a stable unofficial eu rom (this one has no OTA but is clean off Chinese apps).
If you have the no-pro version, you can also try the CM12 from this forum. It seems to be a very good rom.

You should apply to unlock your bootloader first; just make a Mi Account and go through the process. You might have to wait a few days (I waited 6). Some good tutorials are available on the MIUI forums or here on XDA.
After you've unlocked the bootlader, the next step is to flash a custom recovery such as TWRP (also on XDA), then a custom ROM of your choice. I reccommend installing xiaomi.eu if you live in Europe for the good localizations. Otherwise you can install the Chinese Stable / Dev ROM at your choosing; it has English language but some of the Chinese apps might annoy you. MIUI8 has been released for the Chinese developer ROM, and therefore the xiaomi.eu custom ROM which uses it as base. A CM 12.1 build is also available on XDA if you're into that, although it has some bugs regarding the camera, fingerprint sensor, and GPS.
So, I got a new Redmi Note 3 Pro, SE aka Kate, because the lte band 20 band really is a must since I live in a rural area where the bands on the normal version of the phone don't work. I got several questions, it seems so easy to everybody but I guess I'm a newb (although I've worked my way flashing a couple of phones before) I can't really find these answers anywhere else, so I'm trying to find if some of you experts can help Here we go:
1- Where can I find the oficial Global Roms for the RN3P SE?
2- The method to unlock bootloader is the same as RN3P? And how can I install TWRP?
3- Is MIUI 8 available for this phone? And is this ROM bad, as in change it asap? Cause I've seen people complaining, others that love it, and I don't really know. What would you consider is the best ROM for Kate atm?
4- Can I install Kenzo roms on this phone, with or without risk (other than the normal) involved? If so, is there any (noob) tutorial on how to do it?
5- Can I update it OTA?
6- Is there any official Kate thread on XDA?
For now, these are the ones that come to mind. Thank you in advance for your responses.

1. Official MIUI site: http://en.miui.com/extra.php?mod=rom/download&r=301&mobile=no#449
2. Method is the same, request for it, unlock BL via official unlocking soft, than flash twrp with fastboot
3. MIUI 8 is available, it is Stable (not dev). Best rom? Depends on what you need. MIUI is pretty different from stock Android. Status bar and notifications are custom and sometimes don't work as expected (white navbar icons over white background, for example). But â?? battery is great, fingerprint is fast, camera is great. And last two are not in CyanogenMod Roms because of closed sources of MIUI. But CM is CM â?? customizable, nearly stock, etc. Choice is up to you. I was coming from Nexus, flashed CM right from the start â?? but now I'm considering going back to MIUI.
4. Kenzo and Kate are completely the same except for modem software. You can always flash something for Kenzo and flash modem firmware on top. Instructions in "Index" theme in Kenzo forum
5. If you are on official MIUI â?? of course.
6. Kenzo = Kate, so Kenzo forum is your place
(I am a Kate owner, btw)

This just helped me so much. Thank you! And also, thank you for your views on the ROMs. Going to stick with MIUI for a while, I like it.
Hi everybody,
1. I have an officially unlocked Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro device with a specific Global Developer MIUI ROM installed. Can anyone tell me how can I flash the device with a Global Stable Fastboot ROM without relocking the bootloader ?
2. In case I modify the Global Stable Fastboot ROM to exclude the MBN file (bootloader file), and then try to flash the modified Global Stable Fastboot ROM will I get a bootloop or a hardbrick ?
3. Also, is it possible to modify the Global Stable Fastboot ROM in a way to disable "dm-verity" by default before I flash the whole ROM, and have a Global Stable ROM that comes ready for root by default, and also that it does not initiate a storage encryption process on first boot, so I can increase the performance of my device, and battery life ?
4. Also, what about these settings in default.prop:
ro.adb.secure=0
ro.debuggable=1
persist.sys.usb.config=adb
ro.secureboot.devicelock=0 (Does this one disable bootloader relock after flashing a new MIUI ROM - Stable or Developer ?)
Can these also be applied to Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro Global Stable ROM without any issues - bootloop, hardbrick etc. ?
5. How do I cook/make a Global Stable MIUI ROM for Redmi Note 3 Pro that has "Last Access Time Stamp" disabled on all partitions/file systems - noatime option on Android/Linux ?
6. What other internal Android tweaks/options are there in MIUI low level configuration files, that I could tweak in order to increase my battery life or disable certain device functions I am not using, such as disabling certain censors etc. ?
7. How do I modify the Global Stable MIUI ROM not to include certain system applications by default, so when I flash the modified ROM the apps are not there by default ?
I have tried to find the answers to these questions in MIUI forums but I was not able to get certain/definitive answers, so this is why I am posting here.
I would appreciate a highly technical in-depth feedback on these if possible.
Thank you very much everybody for your time and effort in advance.
Anybody have any answers to at least one of the questions I've posted above ??
First of all, I'm really sorry if this thread would turn out to be a dumb enquiry. I am new to intrinsically customising my phone and only have been using this device (Redmi Note 9S EEA Curtana, MIUI Global V11.0.4.0. QJWEUXM 4/64 GB) for 10 days. I've successfully installed root and TWRP on my phone after having thoroughly researched relevant information. The only thing is all my efforts regarding the removal of force encryption have so far failed. I'm inclined to install a custom ROM, e. g. LineageOs or Evolution X.
1. Is it a necessity to have encryption permanently disabled so that the flashing process proves viable? Currently, I'm only aware of a method which has its effect limited to the the period the phone is in recovery. It involves formatting data and then installing Magisk and thus I need to go through the set-up again. At the end of the operation, encryption is enabled again. I have no clue why. I've tested loads of no verity opt files, none of them worked in a proper way either.
2.Will installing a custom ROM eliminate root acces (since it performs a reinstallation targeting the entire system, let alone the patched boot image)?
3. In case something goes wrong, what's the correct procedure to return to the factory ROM? Is re-locking the bootloader a prerequisite? (See this guide https://c.mi.com/uk/miuidownload/detail?guide=2, for example. Notice how each of the stable MIUI releases there are marked with ★ next to them, meaning they're locked. I didn't quite grasp the message they were trying to convey with that explanation though.)
I'm conscious that's a lot to ask in a single thread, however, unlike myself, the majority of users here are supposedly tech enthusiast and probably have encountered similar difficulties on several occasions.
I hope that I've provided enough information and the thread has been named reasonably.
(Priority: detailed answers within a month would be great.)
Cheers,
Hsjaai
Just format data: twrp->wipe->format data write yes->reboot twrp and flash rom.
If you got error(red lignes reboot twrp and format again).
or
delete all your lockscreen security before flashing but to install a new rom you must format the data before.
Thanks for your quick response, honestly I didn't expect anyone to be this early to react.
As I've already mentioned, in TWRP there's a workaround for temporarily disabling encryption using the first method, the latter one doesn't seem to function as intended - that may be the case on newer devices, according to an article I've come across.
One last request. Could you please (briefly) answer my two other questions as well? How do I reinstall MIUI if something breaks down? Is the flashing apparatus provided by Xiaomi reliable?
I'll keep you updated on my progress,
Hsjaai

Thank you so much once again for the help. What should I do if the worst-case scenario arised -essential parts of the file system got corrupted so that the phone wouldn't be capable of booting into system? Uninstall magisk via zip and then make use of the fastboot tool?

With Magisk app
I'm still unsure about something. Will the custom ROM be installed without hassle if I unroot Magisk at the beginning (meanwhile leaving the custom recovery intact, of course)? No guide seems to deem having root installed as a prerequisite. If you answer that, I'm really embarking on the flashing process.

Installing a custom rom (aosp or Miui) requires a data format (erases all data and creates a new partitions if necessary) which will remove root anyway, but sometimes root + twrp creates problems (can't mout the partitions) it is therefore to avoid this that I recommend you to unroot before.
In all cases (Aosp or custom Miui) magisk is installed last.
Which ROM do you want to install?
I'd like to install LineageOS first and see how compatible it is.

What device is Miatoll ?
Hello guys ! For some days or weeks, I see a new codename : Miatoll. I looked and search but I don't find what device is it. Can you helo me ? I wonder if I can flash my phone with a Miatoll Rom

Miatoll ROMs are supposed to be compatible with Curtana if I haven't got something wrong... What's the deal with that?
I may consider flashing CherishOS instead, seems neat and the monthly updates appeal to me.

Don't flash magisk right away, check if the playstore is certified.
If not delele your google account and root with the Magisk app.
Of course, if you absolutely want to root your device for other reasons, ignore that.
***certified on redmi note 7
The installation of these should only differ (on a particular device) in the ROM that's being flashed az a zip, right?
For instance, see this guide. Could that be deemed to be applicable to any custom ROM?

Install the right TWRP
Be sure you have the right firmware.
If not flash it.
1)Twrp wipe format data write yes reboot twrp(if error reboot twrp and format again).
2)flash rom
3)reboot system
v11.0.4.0. QJWEUXM is a turkish rom(android 10)
V12.0.2.0.RJWMIXM is a global rom(android 11)Firmware base for AOSP
It is better to use Miflash and install TWrp after.(dont relock the bootloader).
Are you sure v11.0.4.0. QJWEUXM is the Turkish version? I thought it was EEA (the one tweaked for European countries). Installing the Global version seems alright, but why does the MIUI version has such a great effect on the outcome of the flashing?
Is that because both Cherish OS and the Global version are AOSP-based?
