Which roms lock my bootloader?? - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers

Ok so right now i am on miui 8.1.4.0 global stable rooted. And i have zcx installed. So i would like to try:
Nitrogen OS
AOISP 5.5
Lineage OS 14.1
Resurrection Remix 5.8.1
Slim7
So will these rom lock my officially unlocked bootloader???
Also will zcx be a problem as i am likely going to restore to miui backup from any one of those roms will that break anything???

No,it's not gonna unlock your BL. Only if you install the miui MM from the miui lollipop,your BL will be unlocked.

None of those roms will lock your bootloader. Only rom that locks bl are miui stable roms. :good:

Even Miui Dev rom (Official of course) will lock your bootloader, but there are some modded miui roms such as xiaomi.eu, Epic rom or Multi rom with cracked/removed emmc_appsboot.mbn, which won't lock bl. And roms here on xda (aosp/cm based) don't even contain firmware, so they naturally can't lock bl.

You need to be officially unlocked to flash MIUI with TWRP as far as I know. With zxc TWRP. Otherwise you won't boot. Unless I'm missing something.
If you dont have PC currently to unlock BL again which will happen with official miui roms and with multirom...
You can flash miui EU latest version, it doesnt lock BL...
SOLVED
so..I downloaded miui 7.1.12 global dev.recovery rom (becos i was on global dev rom while rooting and i saw sowhere dat we cant flash from dev to stable thru recovery..we hav to flsh thru fastboot)...installed zcx recovery and flashed global dev recovery rom....nw i can flash ota also

[HELP] Kenzo stuck on Boot on latest Nougat ROMS.

I have observed that my RN3 kenzo is not able to boot on any Nougat ROM built after 2nd april.
I have tried the following ROMS :
1. XenonHD (2nd and 7th april builds - Working fine)
2. Xenon HD 5th May - STUCK ON BOOT
3. Nitrogen OS - STUCK ON BOOT (I dont remember the build date but I downloaded it in april )
4. Resurrection Remix 3rd May - STUCK ON BOOT
5. Cosmic OS - 6th May - STUCK ON BOOT
All the installations were clean flashes. Installed CM14.1_Firmware_kenzo_12.04.2017, still no luck.
What is the reason behind this ? How Can I solve it ?

my bootloader is unlocked.
I installed an older build of XenonHD and it is working fine. All the newer builds are getting stuck.
Edit : Unofficially unlocked.
Flash latest firmware from Official LOS thread and flash your rom. Here is the direct link https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634767927
And Read this.
Some nougat roms won`t boot if you don`t format data after you`ve flashed the rom. So try this: if you are coming from miui, you don`t need to flash any firmware, then wipe system+data+dalvik cache+cache, install rom+gapps and last thing, Format Data (you`ll find it under advanced wipe) and reboot to system. Save your files to sdcard or computer before do that, because this will erase all internal storage, but twrp will remain.

This.
Some of the Newer ROMs need MM bootloader. If you've unofficially unlocked then that means you're on LP bootloader.
Try Flashing the latest MIUI dev ROM and unlocking officially.
Yeah that's exactly what @bloodytolits said flash the latest developer rom i think the Chinese roms get unlocked easily so you can go with it until you unlocked officially then you don't need to flash any firmware again your already on the latest then flash the rom and your ready to go good look

Hey @bloodytolits ,I'm facing the same problem. Can I flash latest global stable ROM and unlock my bootloader on it OR do I need to flash global dev ROM?

Most of the latest ROMs only works on firmwares 7.5.4 - 7.6.7. I don't know if they already changed that. So you can install(and unlock) MIUI dev 7.5.4 - 7.6.7 or the latest and just flash the 7.5.4 - 7.6.7 firmware afterwards before trying to flash any custom rom.
Most people says it should be dev ROM, as I haven't officially unlocked mine I don't know. I'm using Kate and following this guide, you won't really need to officially unlock. I can't guarantee if this would work on kenzo though.

Okay. Now I'm planning to flash MIUI fastboot from RR 5.8.3. and lock my bootloader. Will it cause any bootloop problem?

Did u apply for permission from xiaomi to unlock this phone and unlocked it using Miunlock tool and pressed unlock button to unlock?
Or
Did u used fastboot oem unlock-go command to unlock ?
If u don't know which one? That means this phone is stolen one.:laugh:

[HELP] Unlock Bootloader Officially On Non-MIUI ROM

Hello XDA Kenzo community! I unlocked my device's bootloader unofficially by flashing modified emmc_appsboot.mbn from MIUI Lollipop. I will try to flash TheStrix's firmware, which has the untouched MM bootloader over my current ROM which is RR Marshmallow. My question is, can I unlock the untouched bootloader via MiUnlock even if my phone's ROM is non-MIUI or should the ROM be MIUI8? Thanks in advance.

You will be able to unlock using miunlock provided you have official premission to unlock(i.e. if you have unlocked BL using miunlock previously).

I don't think it will work. Because it checks ur MIUI version so far as I know and u need to be logged in to ur MIUI account on phone.

It doesn't check for the MIUI version I guess. Cuz I unlocked the BL when it was running CM 14.

Ok, after it relocked​ again it's possible with non MIUI ROM.
But u will need to unlock officially first.
And if u unlock unofficial u won't have luck, to unlock officially with non MIUI rom.

In twrp format /data..
Of make sure you backup everything in internal storage
I too experienced the same thing.
Try flashing the firmware by The Strix in the official LOS 14.1 thread.
Keep in mind, it wil Re Lock your bootloader and the rom will not boot at first, you gotta re lock it before you can do anything.

Firstly flash the firmware then the required Nougat rom, Reboot the system. The phone will not boot at first, from there go to Fastboot mode. Unlock the bootloader using mi unlock tool. After the unlocking completes, the phone will Reboot. Go to recovery. Flash the roms as usual.

I got one with miui
but the miui in it is buggy...so i need to change the rom
but miui is official.
If you have miui and locked bootloader than you can't. If it did came with unofficial than your BL should already be unlocked so you can install mokee from recovery. And I would never flash one ROM over completely different one, so wipe everything first.
Thanks for replying guys
I finally flashed carbon rom(after flashing miui 10 )
