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.

Hi, I am planning to buy the Redmi Note 3 silver (India). Would like to know a few things ---
1. Is the Indian version mostly found to be the SD (snapdragon) one, or the MTK (mediatek) one?
2. How is the development going on? Do we have any MM custom ROM/kernel combinations offering more than or around 8-9 hours of SOT? (with or without features like faux sound / dt2w / etc.)
3. I might sound like a total freeloader, I agree, but would request you to please direct me to a contact point if, for now, specific answers to questions above are unavailable.
Thanks a lot!

Okay.
1. Indian version is only snapdragon one.
2. Development is very fast and there are multiple of MM custom ROM around here like cm13 by @santhos M and another cm13 by @banmeifyouwant. You can see yourself the redmi note 3 section.
enjoy your RN3 with custom ROMs
Next Sale?

Mi store? Are they out of stock?
No luck then!!
Okay,20 to 22 July on Mi store.
Hi
Whats up?
Bought the Redmi 3 Pro 3GB/32GB version.
After read a lot and especially the ROMs suitable for Redmi 3 Pro thread
I read that the MIUI's rom is onerous the phone with so much bloatware apps(cleanmaster, antivrus, Micloud and so more).
So, what is the most stable rooted rom w/o bugs at the area? (Read that the CM13 still have some annoying bugs)
I'm totally noob at the beginning after buying a new device
Saw the MIUI 8 V6.7.7 -BUT- still prefer more "puerer" rom and ofcoarse - with the least Lags as possible.
Prefer a rom that comes rooted comes with twrp + gapps installed that keeps the great battery life of the RN3 PRO.
Is there a "tut's" for how to?
Thanks very much for your help
Been using nehz's CM 12.1 for weeks and it's been pretty stable, some small bugs but it's not that bad. Battery life is almost the same as MIUI, I get a 6.5 to 7 hours SOT.
I'm new to MIUI also have a Redmi 3 pro for two weeks now and I have to say I'm quite happy with MIUI so far. Im currently running the MIUI 8 spaceX rom which is rooted so any apps I don't want to use I have frozen or uninstalled using titanium backup. Before this I've always had some form of CyanogenMod on my older phones and thought that I'd have to flash cm again but so far I'm happy with MIUI

Thanks for your replays!
I always prefer a ROM without bloatware, that's why I think I would prefer the CM.
Is there a way to flash the ROM and and root it at the same process?
Thanks again.
There's no bloatware in the either of ManHiT's MIUI roms. Maybe 6 or 7 system apps that you won't want to use but these are easily uninstalled once you have root.

I second this. In SpaceX/Manh_IT bloatware should not be a problem. I've rooted and removed the ones that I do not use. Just make sure you NEVER remove the MI Account and Find Phone applications. IT WILL render your phone unuseful and needing to flash again.
Thanks very much for your help.
I got the MTK Helio X10 version.
I understood that this is a sub-model for the Chiniese market.
I plan to root it and in case i wont be satified with the MIUI, would flash some clean rom that would be as close to a stock android.
Is there any GLOBAL rom for this model?
Have a good weekend!

Redmi 3 is a model for the Chinese model, there is no submodel. You probably got a fake.

Sorry, my mistake when typing.
No matter if the forum is about NOTE 3 or NOTE 3 PRO. You bought a NOTE 3 version.
Here on this forum we talk about Redmi 3 / PRO not Redmi NOTE 3 / PRO.
You need ask for help on this forum.
Regards.
Thanks alot guys :highfive:
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.
I'm about to get a Redmi Note 3 Pro next year and I want to install a newer version of android 6.0 or 7.1.
I see many ROMs for Redmi Note 3 but I'm not sure if they would work for the Pro version and I don't want to flash the wrong ROM and brick my device.
hey, every roms for redmi note 3 "snapdragon" are for redmi note3 pro

Mokee marshmallow and CyanogenMod 13 are stable, I like slim rom. I have come full circle back to global dev mm.
Fortunately we got a separate thread between Redmi Note 3 Snapdragon version and the other Redmi Note 3 Mediatek version in XDA, so there will be easier for you to choose what ROM u wanna install on ur device and just make sure that u are in right thread.
We got a plenty custom ROM based on MM as well as Nougat and we all know that Nougat is still in alpha or beta stage so you may come across with particular bugs that came from the device cos we got some different versions like fingerprint sensor, camera, led etc, but in MM we have almost rock stable build, choose wisely.
And another thing that u wanna note that actually we have two version ot Redmi Note 3 Snapdragon, they are Kenzo (which ppl mainly use this device) and another one with codename Kate (special edition). What we look here, that Kenzo has many dev support whereas Kate doesn't and you may end up with bootloop if u flash Kenzo's ROM over Kate, but sometimes it will work sometimes ot doesn't. Also if we compare side by side between Kate and Kenzo, we look that Kate is bit taller than Kenzo, thanks to additional 4G bands.
That's all I think and I hope you are satisfied with ur decision like I did.
Last but not least, WELCOME. THANKS.

I am not buying or have 4x so again question is;
Can roms for Snapdragon variants be flashed on to international variant with Snapdragon ? Would that effect band 20 in any way?

Hmm....
If you read this post , you'll get it.
https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/mido-rom-for-global-international-version.39385/
I guess 4x is called "Mido" and somebody on the link abov said all Mido roms works with i ternational variant...
For anyone wondering , i bought and flashed mido developer rom, stable roms they work and my band 20 is not touched.
But camera is really bad (samsung sensor)... My old jiayu s3 was way better...
