We are compelled to unlock the bootloader, so, yes i unlocked this
You have to wipe data then flash another

That depends on Roms that you are using. Most of them require clean installation unless u are upgrading the rom. By clean install u mean by wiping data system caches etc except internal storage. And on transforming from miui to lineage os based rom u should flash a firmware. You must read the guide properly before flashing

You might be using an outdated GApps package, as it is known to cause this issue. Try with the latest opengapps.

no need to flash it if there's nothing wrong
if there's something wrong, try to flash latest MIUI Beta firmware, you can find it in ROM section, and no need to flash it everytime you flash a new ROM, just flash it once and you're good to go

you can't do it, without update firmware your phone just bootloop not booting into system
For the love of all that is sweet, just do the following:
1. flash unlock_bootloader.zip from the LineageOS thread.
2. Flash Psy_Man's latest firmware ( Kenzo or Kate, whetever you need ).
3. Flash latest LineageOS nightly.
4. Clear Dalvik & Cache.

Can u please give the link of "unlock_bootloader.zip" file I cannot find it. Thanks

Is it okay if I flash the latest firmware from here in TWRP: https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/development/firmware-hmnote3proglobal-t3574361 without flashing unlock_bootloader.zip? I had my bootloader officially unlocked.

The unlock_bootloader.zip is for unlock unofficially only.
If u unlock officially u don't need it.

If you had your bootloader officially unlocked then do it the normal way, why even go to shady paths and get compatibility issues in future.
The thing is all those firmwares which claims that bootloader won't be unlocked just removes bootloader from firmware, so it doesn't get upgraded but if you're on lollipop bootloader you have to do it the official way otherwise you will bootloop.

Flash the firmware given by thestrix, and if your bootloader dosen't get locked you're on mm bootloader and fine to flash 7.1.2 roms. But if bootloader gets locked(which means you were on lollipop bootloader) then you have to flash latest miui dev rom through edl and unlock it again through miui unlock( it won't give you 50% error again).

I am on an old LOS build right now. So all I have to do is flash this https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634767927 in TWRP and I will be on latest firmware. And then I should be able to flash the new LOS builds without any error 7. Is that correct?

Yep, if bootloader doesn't get locked you're good to go. Otherwise you have to do all the process I have explained above.
My RN3 (Kenzo) is running miui 7,unlocked bootloader and twrp installed. But whenever I install any rom it bootloops. First I tried to flash XENONHD it gets stuck in the xenonhd bootanimation and after that I flashed Pixel rom in this rom it never gets beyond the google boot logo. What's wrong with my device? Please guide me to fix this.
is there a way to know what version of bootloader we have ? (LL or MM)
Not directly, but if you remember where you have got it, you can guess.

It means you're on LP bootloader. If you have officially unlocked, to upgrade to MM bootloader, flash the latest MIUI or the firmware provided by TheStrix on LOS official thread(this will relock your bootloader), go to fastboot, plug device and unlock via Mi Unlock. If you did it unofficially then read a few post back, someone posted a fix.

Nope.... well you can flash TheStrix's firmware, if your phone boots up then you're on MM, if it didn't(Mi logo flashes for a second before turning off again) then LP . Or try a safer way but you needed to download a full ROM. Download the latest LOS(or any latest LOS based ROM), flash it, if you get bootloop then you're on LP bootloader.

Thx for your help.
I've flashed 2 firmwares on my kate(whithout emmc-appsboot.mbn file in it):
7.5.25 (beta) and 8.2.4.0 (stable).
I've got no problem when flashig both, but when I flash Resurection remix (last build which is based on LOS) I stuck on bootanimation. But i don't think it's a bootloop because my phone dont restart(Black screen + MI logo + bootanimation). it just stay on bootanimation and never boot (ask for pin)
Wait but why do you need to unlock officially​?? I unlocked unofficially and flashed lineage (i mean cm14.1) and it worked like a charm. Though you need the firmware.

Sorry. I'm new to this. Can I do that all in twrp czx? Bootloader is not unlocked as it took time so I am using twrp CZX as another way to flash roms.
