Use Miflash and flash the global stable fastboot rom through edl mode. Your device will go back to as if it were new. No root, no recovery and clean internal storage. So make backups accordingly.

According to me, flash fastboot rom through edl is completely safe. But if you're not sure, wait for a few users to confirm this.
Or post your question in the lineage os thread. Some will reply rudely that this is not the place to ask the question but a few will definitely reply to your question.

just go with edl mode will be safe to revert back to global stable
using edl mode it will revert back to original only use stable roms or rom that came with your device

Hello ppl,
I have unlocked the bootloader of my RN3 snapdragon version officially and i flashed the offical twrp on my phone.
Then i did a complete backup of the rom and then installed CM 14.1 (Santosh's build)
When i installed the rom,it relocked the bootloader and the fastboot mode now shows cyanogen logo instead of the mi logo.
The TWRP is working fine and i tried out both CM13 as well as 14.1.
i was on the miui 8(5.1) build and i tried to restore the EFS file to enable VOLTE on CM14.1 but no VOLTE is working as it was V5.1
I now have to revert back to MIUI8(6.0).How do i proceed?.
*I will flash the global MIUI8 developer rom using the TWRP?
*Restore the backup that i had done earlier with with official TWRP?
*Boot into eld mode(Cyanogen fastboot mode) and then use MiFlash and flash global developer MIUI version.
Please Help me with this.Need to get the VOLTE working fast and get back to MIUI.
First of all let me tell you that volte is broken and fluctuating in miui8 MM builds. Even though there are fixes but then you have to compromise fp scanner. So in my opinion flash xiaomi.eu rom 6.8.11 based on 5.1.1. But as per experience I have seen volte working in santhosh build. Just dont flash any firmware. And to revert back to miui8 LP just wipe partitions and remeber dat official MM roms are encrypted. Dont go there. Happy flash.

Didnt you unlock bootloader? If not then unlock it using mi flash tool, and check out roms from xiaomi.eu site not from miui.com, official site produce ****ty roms. They mess up data partition with encryption. Check out 6.8.11 based on 5.1 where VoLte works fine.

I have locked bootloader.Is it fine if i just flash the zip file using twrp
MiUnlock is not detecting the phone to unlock the bootloader.
Sorry for too many questions.Litte bit new to RN3 .It was easy to flash and do stuff with my old OnePlus One.
::And ill download the stable or weekly
I think you might lose IMEI/EFS if you downgrade from CM 14.1 to lolipop MIUI? Someone more knowledgeable can confirm.

download weekly, miunlock is not detecting? Hmm then may be it is due to windows drivers. If you are using x64 bit OS then you should tweak driver signature enforcement in windows. which twrp u are using? Use a twrp where you can backup efs, modem and other important partitions. alka, zcx are best twrps.

if you use edl then it doesnt matter whether its unlocked or locked. But edl mode needs to wipe everything all data in int storage.
Whats the update? Did it went well? I mean through edl mode using MiFlash.
Hey,
I also have a question. If I officially unlock my bootloader and some how it gets locked again then can I unlock it again officially?
I flash MIUI 8 mm from cm 14.1 , via two booted but mi account verification error . Not go beyond that . What to do ?
I want to apply for that beta testing team.But i have to be on global developer rom and install OTAs twice a week.
Now that i have twrp,stock miui roms cant be flashed and ota's cant be recieved.
I know the simplest method is to just use MI flash and flash fastboot rom.But is there any other way?
I read on xda that some patching of boot.img will work and things but that has to be done everytime with each OTA .
Is there a way i could revert everything back.
What if i flash miui rom through twrp after doing all that boot.img patching and then flash mi recovery removing twrp.Will ota's work?
I would be grateful if somebody briefs me about the process.

I unlocked my bootloader unofficially and has been using mh device for a long time but since latest builds of roms requires officially unlocked mm bootloader, i can't flash new builds now.My device is working fine and have miui.eu rom installed, i have access to fastboot mode, recovery and everything is fine but i just want to be officially unlocked now. So to flash the stable fastboot rom 8.2.2.0 onto my device, can anyone provide me a guide which explains the process to flash the rom.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
P.S: My bootloader is locked now.
Flash fastboot rom but bootloader will get relocked , you can search on YouTube for the procedure as it's same for rooted or non rooted devices .

Fastboot. Flash latest global dev fastboot rom.

How to do that without getting any fastboot option or any screen.
The device is not recognized by my pc
You must put your device in EDL mode check this guide for doing it without fastboot xiaomitips.com/guide/how-to-put-redmi-note-3-into-edl-mode/
Thank you guys, I have successfully flashed fastboot ROM
Now is there any special requirement to flash other roms like China developer from global stable or custom roms from global stable.
Which Rom do you suggest for normal usage/no gaming/browsing
You can install China rom but you might need to flash twrp again after full wipe, at least that's what happens to me every time I want to flash China dev rom.
I would suggest Nitrogen Os for everyday use (for first install you might need to format data in twrp to flash nitrogen) , Viper Os has slightly better camera quality than nitrogen and a little less battery backup but an amazing rom overall. Lineage Os is very stable with good features but you need to flash firmware first, there is a guide in rom thread for that. Resurrection Remix is the most customizable of all but use with agni or infected kernel for better battery backup.
For me top roms are
-> Nitrogen Os
-> Lineage Os
-> Viper Os
->Aosp Extended
->Pure Nexus with infected kernel
->Cosmic Os

After flashing fastboot rom, phone will stuck at bootlogo for much longer than normal. So my suggestions is to wait for it to bootup, at least 20-30min.

For us indians, global builds is for us.
You can have the developer or the stable global versions zip file.
Now make sure you use redwolf recovery, because installation of these zips from stock twrp is not really supported. If you install the global build, the recovery and root will be removed, so then you'll need to install recovery using fastboot. But if you install the dev version, it does not removes the recovery but still root is removed, which you can get by installing magisk.
