Rom update help - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers

Hallo.
I'm newby on this device, I read some post, somewhere but in definitive I can't do any Rom update
The device come's with version "8.0.1.0.0 stable",
I did copy some new Rom's on the device than start update App, but the message is Always "ca't verify update".
I did also try to change file name and restart the update without success.
I wish try to force the download mode on the device but in the settings I can't find the proper set up.
Seems I got a locked model?
Than's for any helps.

it is possible you have a modded rom from the seller. Some have done those.
The best option for you is to do download the full rom directly from xiaomi, and then do a full wipe/install on your device.
By default, you should have a locked bootloader.
Get the full rom and the flashing guide is also at this link

Trouble with flashing official Xiaomi stable ROM on Redmi 3

Hi y'all!
I'm really having trouble flashing an official stable rom on my device. The rom archive is miui_HM3_V7.3.2.0.LHPCNDD_6a5e1bc33c_5.1.zip.
I downloaded it and copied it to a folder (downloaded_rom) on the internal storage of my redmi 3. After selecting it in the updater app I get asked whether it's OK to delete all data, because the rom I'm updating to is older than the one installed. My phone's miui version is MIUI 77. Stable 77.1.1.0 (LHPCNCK). The doble 7s seem odd to me and may be part of my problem (I bought the phone like that). Then, the device is rebooting and I can see some kind of progression bar for a couple of seconds on the botton of the screen but then it just reboots into android and nothing changed
I also tried to flish it via Mi PC suite. Here, after connecting the device in fastboot mode, I got the message that my device isn't supported.
I also believe that the bootloader is locked and I already got the "permission" from xiaomi to unlock it but I had no luck with this either. The Mi unlock tool is telling me, that the "current account is different from the account info on the device" which wasn't the case after I double checked.
Am I missing something here?
kind regards

yes.
because you are currently in modified rom (rom supplier or seller, etc, etc) you cannot update or do anything about it
flash the official rom using miflash method
after that you can update using updater program

I'll try that and report back. Thanks!
Okay, finally I managed to flash my phone with the newest miui.eu rom. What I did was:
- Flashing the official Xiaomi Rom (MiFlash package) via MiFlash (1st try in Win32 wasn't working. 2nd try on Win64 did the job)
- I had to update to the newest official stable OTA, because somehow, I wasn't able to unlock my bootloader with the older version.
- I unlocked the bootloader using the MiFlashUnlocker.
- Updated to the official MIUI 8 dev rom using updater app on my phone
- On dev rom I granted root acces to flashify and flashed the twrp recovery image on my device (which gets wiped from my device every time I reboot - anyone knows why??)
- Reboot into recovery and flash the MIUI.eu zip which is now running on my device.
Thanks for the help guys!
Hi.
I am having the same problem, with pre-installed rom: MIUI 77.1.1.0 Stable. The updater app obviously doesn't work (now i know why) and the MiFlash software doesn't seem to work either. It doesn't recognise the phone, browsing to the downloaded rom does nothing. Am i missing something?
Update, it now recognises the phone, but miflash is saying it can't find the file specified (0x80070002: Execute flash_all.bat)
Thanks for any assistance you can give.
Update 2. Just found out you need a different version of the Rom for fastboot. available from http://en.miui.com/a-234.html for anyone searching.
Okay so Miflash began the process when i had the Fastboot rom, but failed at about 2 percent as the device is locked.
Although i have permission the Mi unlock tool won't unlock my phone as it says the accounts don't match that on the phone, although i have quadruple checked them.
Research suggests it might be a problem with the custom rom on my phone, or that i need to be on the China Dev rom to unlock?
But i can't flash the China Dev Rom!!!
Is there any way to get my device to stock rom?
Sorted.
For the benefit of anyone searching, i followed the instructions here: http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=redirect&goto=findpost&ptid=242867&pid=4510751

problem with unlocking and flashing

Hi my friends.
this is my story :
my phone is Redmi note 3 pro (qualqomm)
I got permissions for unlocking a week ago.
then i tried xiaomi website unlock method but it stopped at 50% and gave me couldn't verify device (different account) error.
my rom is global (MIUI 8) . then i tried to flash dev rom with updater app but it gave me couldn't verify update package error. i cleared updater data and tried again but same error.
in next step i tried mi pc suite to flash but no success.
then i used fastboot mode and mi flash and i got locked bootloader error.
then i used EDL mode to flash but in mi flash i got hello package error. (object reference not set to an instance of an object)
i completely confused . i tried all methods and read many fix like login in i.mi.com and other method that people fixed their problem but all of them not fix mine.
i read some threads about flashing twrp and root without unlocking bootloader but all of them need flashing dev rom and i can't flash.
can anyone help me?

I just recently went through most of what you have gone through... Be patient though... It seems that the unlocking of bootloader even after you getting permission, takes atleast 2-3 weeks more.
- You can flash the miui global dev rom, you may download it from the miui forums... Here is the link for the fastboot rom http://en.miui.com/a-234.html.
- To flash the dev rom, you need to ensure you put your phone into fastboot, ensure all the fastboot drivers are installed on your computer
- Also, you need to ensure that you download the GLOBAL/DEV FASTBOOT ROM(this is different than the regular zip package) that you download.
- Then you can follow the instructions to install the ROM using miflash tool
- If the ROM installation is a success, then you just need to wait patiently atleast for 15-20 days from the time you got unlock permission sms from MI
- Then try running the flash unlock tool, it should get unlocked.
- Now flashing TWRP might be tricky, I was able to flash the official TWRP, but had issues where the internal memory wasn't getting mounted, because you keep getting asked for decryption password in TWRP to mount the data, no matter what you enter, it might not work
- After trying many TWRP types, the one that worked was "zcx twrp"
- Once you flash that, you should be able to flash any custom or miui roms you need :good:

Skip the EDL thing and go directly to the part where they explain how to use the miflash tool to flash a fastboot ROM
I should have asked this first... what's the state of your phone right now? Does it boot, stuck on boot loop, or are you able to boot into some ROM.
maybe u have a vendors rom, flash the fastboot rom using edl
finally a downloaded adb 1.4.3 and installed it and i flashed dev rom in EDL mode.
but now i have some questions:
can i change kernel with locked bootloader?
if i change kernel does fingerprint work?
You just dont have proper drivers installed im 100% sure, else it would go via edl
Hehe was right������
And why dont you ask for official unlock approval? Its approved in less than a day, anyone saying otherwise have old news
Or you can always use a method in this forum...

RN3P - Unlock bootloader 8.1.1, update to 8.1.1 HELP PLS

Alright folks - heres where I'm at.
I started off having the phone brand new as of christmas.. I managed to get the bootloader unlocked, and TWRP installed. for some reason (and i've searched for days now with no success) i kept getting this error in twrp when installing a rom "unable to mount /persist invalid argument" ... So after not having any luck with custom installed roms, bootloops i decided to put the phone back to factory. Factory from the MIUI website which was 8.1.1...
Well, since unlocking bootloader (unofficial way) and upgrading to 8.1.1 - the phone will not turn on. it just says Encryption Unsuccessful - reset phone. Which I do, and it goes back to the same screen, Over, and Over, and OVER.
I managed to get two rom on it (8.0.6 global) and (8.0.7 china) but both have broken / no google play services.
Now I have this beautiful device, with no chance of unlocking the boot loader (I think) and no chance of putting a custom rom AND no working play store. Although it isnt a paper weight just yet... I'm about to say thats what i'm going to do with it soon.
Any help on getting a custom rom, the latest MIUI, or just working play services is greatly appreciated .

You mean put the phone in EDL then use fastboot rom via miflash? if so then yes. I've tried using multiple versions of global, and then one version of cn. I also tried to put one version of cn on there, then do the recovery update for developer mode, unfortunately that doesnt work either.
Question - is there a version of someones premade rom anywhere thats flashable via miflash?
Thanks,
Zack

Flash Custom Rom on SGP512 unlocked Bootloader Marshmallow 6.0.1

Hey Guys,
as far as i could find out so far, you use TWRP to flash a Custom Rom from the Tablets Recovery Mode, this requires a rooted device, and to do this you flash a prerooted rom somehow, which includes TWRP already, which you then use to flash the rom you actually want on your device.
Another possibility was to flash a Kernel (with TWRP?) to get the same results...
Now I absolutely can´t find a tutorial for dummies, to do that, or find the required files.
After i found it kinda complicated to unlock the bootloader, since most of the tutorials didn´t even mention you need advanced mode and a special Google USB Driver from Sony´s Developer Page, to even get that working, i would really appreciate if someone could give me a step by step with links.
If a tutorial exists, pls give me a link as well, cause i looked the whole day yesterday, and found jack.
cheers
yes, you need to do all that. i just went through this yesterday and used this tutorial:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2747676
once you are unlocked, follow the instructions for your rom, usually to flash the boot and recovery images with fastboot. two things to watch out for though, if you are using an oreo rom make sure your twrp version is 3.2 or better, secondly, if twrp give an error where it cant mount the partitions to wipe them use the change format option under wipe/advance to change to ext4 (which essentially re-formats the partition) and you should be good to flash the rom after that.
here is another tutorial to help get adb, fastboot, and the drivers up and going:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
answer yes to everything, i can't remember if i loaded in sony specific driver on top of that or not.
goodluck!

Download the rom from the given link in the first comment.
Then download miflash-tool, see guidlines from the link how to flash rom via miflash-tool.
First time, choose "clean all" option in miflash-tool and flash your preferred rom
if your device boots properly and MIUI setup screen appears, then u can turn off device and flash the rom again with miflash-tool, for locking bootloader this time select "clean and lock" option.
Download Flashtool & Rom
