Just got my rn3p in the mail, there are a ton of bootloader unlock write ups as well as flashing recovery. I tried one and now I'm stuck in edl mode, can anyone suggest the latest/best method to unlock this puppy so i can throw twrp on there and get rid of miui?

I'm currently stuck waiting for xiaomi to properly add my device to their unlocking server, hopefully enabling me to unlock my bootloader. (I'm stuck at 50% during the unlock process)
My phone came with the factory installed China ROM. I then installed over this with the Global Stable fastboot ROM via EDL. Would it be possible to pre-root this fastboot image and flash via edl, enabling root with the bootloader still locked?
I am only wanting to root my device once unlocked, so thought this may be possible?
no dm verity in boot img in locked bootloader will refuse to boot your device.simply it will brick your device and end with a heavy paperweight and nothing

I am waiting not going to chance it.
Hi,
I have unlocked my bootloader officially through the unlock tool and wanted to flash a custom recovery and also root my device (Redmi Note 3 - Snapdragon).
I was on Global Dev (6.5.19) before I even started to unlock my bootloader.
After unlock, I was succesffuly able to flash Cofface TWRP recovery through fastboot (well the command prompt didn't throw up any errors and had a success message).
However, when i reboot into recovery (either through button combination or "adb reboot recovery", I just get a screen that shows an image of a phone and USB cable" (similar to the image on the official bootloader unlock tool.
I checked whether the bootloader was unlocked (fastboot oem device-info) and it was indeed unlocked.
I have factory reset and reflashed 6.5.19 (Global dev rom) with MiFlash and this hasn't made any difference.
I also relocked the bootloader with MiFlash Beta and then unlocked successfully with the official unlock tool.
All of these steps still haven't made a difference.
Can someone please advise on the next step to do (as unlocked bootloader is pretty useless if I can't install a custom recovery).
P.S. I also get the same phone and usb cable image when booting into stock recovery
find it weird problem
if you dont,then first just boot the recovery
code:- fastboot boot xxxrecovery.img where xxxrecovery replace your own recovery img name in fastboot folder.
you must success and see twrp recovery
then again transfer img to sdcard and to flash from recovery.
then flash it from recovery and when you reboot ,just swipe to diseable rom to replace it with stock one.
find it really weird ,i did it hundredths of time in my offi unlocked and every time goes fine flashing recovery from fastboot
Hit thanks if i helped
please follow this... it does help for me.

I have the same problem .How u solved your problem?
You can easily flash this one ZCX Twrp. Is the best i didn`t encountered any issue until now. I`ve flashed custom roms and miui roms as well.. The install process is very simple, follow this one https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/zcx-twrp-install-twrp-flash-supersu-t3462448
Tried flashing via miFlash but reboot to edl doesn't work and since it has a relocked bootloader, cannot use it..
How can I go back? I am trying to sell my phone.

U can flash ROM in edl. Even if bootloader is locked.
Hello!
Today i was trying to return to factory conditions on my mido (recovery, ROM, bootloader, etc) but i locked the bootloader with "fastboot oem lock" instead of doing it with miunlock.
Now i am unable to flash anything, from fastboot roms, to custom recoveries, to anything.
Is there any way i can try and revive my device? I tried using miflash, unlocking again with miunlock, all to no avail.
Thanks in advance,
Carlo
Try this
Boot into bootloader and then connect to pc install mi flash tool and then after downloading rom click on clean and lock
Solved by using miunlock version at this link http<colon><slash><slash>en<dot>miui<dot>com<slash>forum<dot>php?mod=redirect&goto=findpost&ptid=204866&pid=
I unlocked the bootloader succesfully (amazingly!), flashed the fastboot rom with miflash and phone revived!
Hope this can be helpful to people with my same problem!
I fixed a prior problem with my Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro where there was no recovery and only went to fastboot, Went to into EDL mode and fixed the problem...
I tried to flash TWRP custom on my phone. I had USB debugging on and OEM unlocked. i tried to go around having the bootloader locked and flashed a file specific for going around Xiaomi bootloader locks and having TWRP as the recovery. So i went into EDL again trying to flash TWRP and ended up having EDL on my phone "permanently". I cannot afford a new phone. I REALLY NEED HELP recovering my phone while also having TWRP as the new recovery... :crying:

Can you reboot back into recovery?
Why would you have the bootloader locked? You should unlock the bootloader.

No I can't go into recovery or fastboot. It's stuck in EDL mode...
The bootloader used to be unlocked but it somehow got locked while flashing the stock rom because i was recovering my device from a past brick.
Officially unlocking the bootloader takes too long and is too hard...
is anyone going to help me?
is anybody going to help me? I'll answer any question just please help me:crying:
