Hello.
I just got my phone. I've imported the phone from China, so it's running Chinese ROM.
ROM is: MIUI V7.2,2.20.LHOCNDA
Now there is no Play Store.. I had Nexuses, OnePlus, M8, S6 edge.. And many other Android phones. I've rooted all of them. I am familiar with ADB, I know how to unlock bootloader on Nexus, OnePlus..
I've read trough the Redmi Note 3 PRO forum, and I see there can be problems with unofficial unlock. So I just applied for the official Unlock...
So can I flash the Global ROM with locked bootloader? If yes, how?
Can I root the Global ROM after the flash? If yes, how?
Can I unlock the bootloader on Global ROM?
What is the difference with Global ROM and dev. ROM?
Is there any reliable unlock method besides the official one? I am getting confused reading all of the way's to do it.
Any answerer will be appreciated :good:

if you want Play Store and multi lang you need global rom, but again be carefull with flashing
i don't recommend unlocking but for that you need dev rom otherwise you will get this error "Couldn't verify device at 50%"
This is an official MIUI8 developer ROM for Redmi 3.
Recommended for locked bootloaders.
For unlocked bootloaders do aboot backup because the bootloader may be relocked after flashing this ROM.

yes its but you know its heavly moded even the kernel is not open source haha indeed they wambling about update but its oudated but i like it its not just CM with its gravity box its outof the box
see the patch note for more
It's prettier, few new options and better battery life than MIUI 7. My first impressions
I flash this rom in my redmi note 3 pro and I install gapps and rooted the phone with supersu, putting the gapps and supersu Zips in the microsd and follow the method to entry in twrp to install the Zips without lose the original recovery (the system of the forum given't permissions to me to put external links) .

Well, you flashed the ROM which is not for your phone. It's redmi 3 forum, not redmi note 3
Hi, I flashed the correct rom for my device, but the method is valid for all devices with miui 5-8, with official unlocked bootloader, and original recovery, sorry for the confusion xD.

hi, can anybody confirm BL relocking happens?
Can I unlock with this ROM?
There is also much better Miui 8 for redmi 3 by xiaomi.eu (6.6.16/17 - Miui 8)

I'm having installed it now and there's problem with Google Cloud Messaging (no push notifications at all which is pretty bad).
If anybody can resolve it that would be great.

What process did you go through? I'm interested in MIUI8/root/GAPPS.
As for MIUI8 it seems that the only available version is the China Dev one. It comes bundled with a ton of useless chinese apps, no root, no gapps.

Mine hv previous china dev rom installed (miui7 6.5.26) before, and i was download miui8 from official site and flash it manually via updater (choose update package). No data loss or relocked BL after (even all my games still there)
Gapps using google apps installer.apk frm mi market.
Root: just tap root permission in security apk and it will download (i assume its miui root file or something) and device will rebooting by it self after. Done.
Ps: i have no superSU installed.

Thanks for the answer. What I did, is flash it from the TWRP. I must have missed that I can go from 7 to 8 from within the OS. Now I'm back to 6.5.2.6 so it's good to know. I'll update soon.

This guide explains how to flash stock MIUI roms. You have a few options for root. You could flash a global or China beta/dev ROM which have an in built root which can be enabled. You could unlock your bootloader and install TWRP then install superSU. Or you could just try an app like KingRoot if you trust it enough.

I've done it with the China dev/beta rom and that is what's recommended. It may be possible on the new global dev but I'm not sure and so can only recommend the China dev/beta. Once unlocked you'll stay unlocked so you can flash whatever you want straight away after. Just make sure to backup/sync any data first as everything will get wiped when using the SP flash tool.

It was a simple and normal question. I don't bully you or anyone else here. It's better if i ask you before you brick your phone or something. But anyway, it's your phone and your choice.
Global dev rom works, I unlocked mine early this week. You will need to fill in the form for permission from Xiaomi hxxp://en.miui.com/unlock and wait for an activation code for your Mi account before you start. You'll also need that account on your phone. It absolutely will not work on Global Stable, trust me, I tried!
The Global Dev rom doesn't have root enabled, so you'll also have to install TWRP (from cofface) there is a good guide in this forum somewhere, then flash SuperSu from there. (the official version works just fine)

Thanks for confirming, I unlocked using the china dev rom and enabled the built-in root. I could then use flashfire to install cofface's TWRP recovery and did a wipe in TWRP to start afresh without root.

Bootloader can even be unlocked on Global stable now. Just did it successfully on 8.1.2.0. Next TWRP can be flashed via fastboot and last SuperSU in TWRP. All done.

No reason why it should not work on 8.1.3.0. Just look for the bootloader check in developer settings. If it's there and you can link your account you should be good to go. Always worth a try...
Latest Supersu is always available on Chainfire's website download.chainfire.eu. Flash via TWRP. It's not specific to A ROM or device.
Hello,
I have a problem with the Redmi Note 4, I am trying to use an app that is not working if the phone is rooted and ofc it's not working because apparently the phone IS rooted and I can't find anywhere how to unroot it.
The ROM is global and it's version 8.0.6 or something. Anyway, can someone please advise how to unroot it please?
Cheers,

Can you post a screenshot of your about phone screen in settings? Did you install any roms since getting it? As the global stable/dev roms dont have root by default, i dont even think it can be enabled global dev like the china dev rom. Its possible you have a vendor/reseller rom and so recommended to flash an official rom asap as the current one may contain malware/spyware/backdoors/etc.

so the phone arrived yesterday bought from aliexpress, there should be no root indeed for a global rom but even if i install an app that requires root it says that root is not present. being bought from aliexpress i assume the vendor opened the box and installed a custom rom. I will try to flash an official one today.
try to use Xposed and rootcloack or suhide
suhide won't work with Xposed tho, so your Gona have to remove Xposed if the first option doesn't work
I'm guessing it's a banking app had the same problem

Ok, how did you manage to brick it ?
With Miflash tool V2, give me a error in the end and the good notice that "system has been removed".

Bricked Mi 9
Let me get straight to the point before I explain. I bricked my Mi 9 (had it for weeks but didn't use it till I got the bootloader unlocked) and it doesn't boot into TWRP can only get it to fastboot no matter what I tried so far. Installed an unofficial TWRP there are two types with practically 0 differences. This Mi 9 is the global version. 6gb 128gb storage
So I wanted to try Xiaomi.EU ROM as it's a debloated version as some would say. but that had a nasty camera bug, status bar notch looked cramped and unpolluted as they tried to minimise the bar. Some apps from the playstore wasn't installing like the DJI mimo app, it would just cancel halfway through the download. Then I completely forgot that my fingerprint scanner won't work on my banking app anymore, since the bootloader is unlocked. Google Pay also suffers from that and I know you can use magisk etc to sort out most of the problems like the fingerprint scanner and Gpay. So after discovering these issues, there are far too many to deal with now. I'll just go back and try something more clean and that's where all the mess began...
I haven't rooted in a few years so I'm very rusty at half the stuff that is happening. I know bits and bobs but that was with my Nexus and Pixel phones. Mi 9 is my first official replacement and I thought hey let's get back into mods etc. If only I had more knowledge on what to do. I will still try to figure it myself, so I potentially could help others but I fear I won't get far.
Anyways tried to get it back to run a beta version of the latest global or stable and so the last thing I did before all things went to . I went to TWRP and advance wiped dalvik, cache and data and was specifically told not to mark sdcard and another option which was there. (This was a thread I was reading, can't remember which site) now the phone completely 'ded' as in it is now stuck in the bootloop and doesn't go anywhere else besides fastboot. How I went about flashing TWRP and trying to install magisk was using the XiaoMiTools V2 which did some of the work (unbrick feature isn't available yet on the toolkit). But after the wipe I did, the toolkit doesn't recognise the device and MiFlash also doesn't seem to work although with that I think I get weird prompt like something didn't go well and I'm maybe not doing something right although I believe I have. Because the phone has been wiped I don't have ADB debugging on the device and I believe that could have been a solution for me to wiggle out of the mess. So I'm desperately looking for the community to help get my Mi 9 fully operational again. Anyone out there?
Only thing fastboot seemed to recognise is when I'm flashing the different two versions of twrp.img
Looking forward to your comments.
Hello friend, I have the same problem as you. `` The system has been destroyed''. I wanted to know which Chinese version you have used, because I have the EEA V10.2.17.0 and I do not know which Chinese version to use, the ones I downloaded have given me an error. Tell me who you used your thanks. If you could make me a little guide, I would be very grateful for more than 10 days without my mi9 .. @PRolo
I don,t have my pc with me, download the EEA original from Miui. And with Mi Tool Pro install that, follow the steps on link i put um the beginning.
If didn't work tell me and when I came home help you.

But what exactly did you do, I have tried it by all means and it does not recover from the brick I happened the same as you. And I've tried the tutorial and there's no way. You did the whole turorial? or just up to some step?
Hello friend, nothing is needed. He took it out of the brick. It is taken out only with the first step of the program. What the nose is because it did not work the first time I tried it. Greetings and thank you

Bit of an old post to reply to... But did you manage to fix your problem? Did you note down the build of the original ROM that was on your device in the first place?
Thanks for this post, sadly my new Mi9 is in the same condition. All I did was update to lastest EEA-ROM (which was offered automatically by system right after setup), registered for BL unlock and finally decided to Factory Reset and start afresh as did not recover data from my Google backup.
Right now I cannot use recovery mode as the recovery also throws the "System destroyed" error (presumably because the update did something awful with the recovery).
As the mentioned method does not work in fastboot mode I am a bit at a loss on what to do - besides waiting for the BL unlock timer to do its thing (which it hopefully will do despite the fact that I don't use the phone ATM). I tried a lot of tools and hints but so far with BL locked its a no-go
Any ideas/suggestions ?

No, sadly I don't recall that. Presently I cannot recover any info on the version with fastboot getvar all, the fields are empty.
I think I can remember the update had something with a "9" or "19" in it - but the "9" would mean a global ROM instead of an EEA which I expected (the phone is marked with global, though)... I do recall Google Update is from 03/19...
Well, what a mess...
