Hello people,
I have V8.5.7.0.MHOMIED (MIUI8) on my Redmi Note 3 Snapdragon 2gb ram, i haven't unlocked my bootloader, and don't want to lose time by doing it officially.
Tried to flash ZXCTWRP a few times with miflash but it was stuck on copying some file... though the guides are very very old and probably not updated.
i am guessing i need twrp to flash nitrogen and thats all. thanks for all the help. :good:

Now Mi unlock tool is not giving any error while unlocking the phone. So it will take maximum 10 minutes to unlock your phone. Just request for unlock on the mi website. You will get confirmation in 5 minutes. After that try to unlock using MI unlock tool. It will success without any error. After that install any TWRP recovery(Red Wolf Recommended) and install the Rom.

Hey guys, I'm very new to this so please bare with me.
I've been trying to flash the custom kernels on my Note 3 Pro. I've already flashed to CM13.
I tried Radon and Blaze, both have CM compatible versions.
In TWRP, it says sucessful but when it reboots it bootloops. I've waited about 20-30 min a couple times now.
Any ideas?
Hopefully you took a backup of system and boot images before flashing the kernel? If yes just restore these.
If not you could try flashing the boot image only from the rom zip.
Just try to unlock your phone with miunlock. Could be that it's locked again. I had the same situation. After I unlocked it, it rebooted

Do you mean the mi flash unlock? Or can you link me the miunlock you're talking about?

I meant MiFlash unlock
I just bought Redmi Note 3 SD. I am running the latest global stable build based on LP. I wanted to move to Global Beta Builds. I tried to flash the recovery zip using updater app. But it always showed "couldn't verify update package".
So i searched a bit. And think it requires bootloader to be unlocked first. But I have some doubts :
1) After unlocking bootloader can I flash global beta recovery rom zip using updater app ? Or fastboot is the only method even after unlocking bootloader ?
2) If I am stuck at 50% during the unlocking process, will the phone wont boot not anymore ? Or I can boot it just like it was before ?
3) Does data gets wiped during bootloader unlocking ?
Thanx in advance...

1. Any rom that supports flashing through recovery can be flashed through the recovery.
2. If you are stuck at 50% while unlocking your phones boot loader, don't worry. Your phone will boot and work just fine.
3. Nothing will be wiped after unlocking your phones boot loader, everything stays the way it is.
I hope I answered your questions

And you don't need an unlocked bootloader to flash the beta global MM ROM. You can use miflash and flash the phone in edl mode. If you take a backup in MIUI first, you can restore all your apps and data too. If you're even braver, you can replace the stock recovery image in the ROM with ZXCTWRP at the same time so you can flash SuperSU, Xposed, etc. all with a locked bootloader.
Download an older dev build like 6.8.18 which should work through the updater app, then you can go to 6.9.29 after that.

Why we need to install 6.7.2 first when going from miui mm dev 6.9.x back to stable ?

I don't know. I'm perfectly happy on the MM beta and have no desire to go back to LP.
Good luck.
Just got my RN3 SD last week and I'll share what I encountered

No, you don't need unlocked bootloader to flash latest Global beta. What you need to do is boot to EDL mode and flash Global Beta through MiFlash tool.
TIP Make sure fist that your device is properly recognized by your PC through correct drivers. Usually the MiFlash drivers are sufficient but I had problems with the MTP driver so I had to search the internet for this

I don't think so since your error seem to depend on the updater app, and not the bootloader
TIP If you do decide to unlock bootloader, try to unlock in your current ROM first before flashing Global Beta. In my case, I applied for permission on Day1, Got my permission on Day 3, Failed to unlock until Day 5 where I EDL flashed Global beta and I was able to unlock by then. I think I could have unlocked faster if I EDL flashed Global Beta earlier

It will still boot. You just need to hold the power button long enough (you're in fastboot when unlocking)

No. Data gets wiped when you flash something in fastboot/EDL or when you wipe it in custom recovery
Other Info
ROM that came with the Phone is official MIUI 7.2.3
Global beta I flashed is 6.9.22
After unlocking bootloader, I flashed ZCX TWRP
After Flashing ZCX TWRP, I flashed xiaomi.eu ROM 6.9.29 and got bootloop. To fix this I had to flash LazyFlasher.zip after xiaomi.eu ROM and then did a factory reset via TWRP
Best Regards,
Tester

Yeah but i didn't wanted to move into this miflash stuff right now. I had bad experience with my last phone mi3 when i flashed it using miflash. So i want to just move to Global beta MM build using stock recovery..

I also got the permission 1 week back. But i read that it takes usually 1 to 2 weeks to get the data updated in their databases. And i don't want to go to EDL and MiFlash stuff yet. I had bad experience with Mi3 when i used MiFlash

I had applied for permission to unlock bootloader officially and i got permission two days back.
When i try to unlock via MiUnlock app, it stuck at 50% and said Couldn't verify the device.
I searched on google and i found something like i should be on Developer Rom to unlock. So i flashed the Gobal Developer Rom through System Updater. Again i tried to unlock the phone, same error. Then i found , i should be on Chinese Developer rom. So again i tired to flash Chinese developer rom but this time it failed when i try to flash through System updater.
Can anyone tell me how to do?
Thanks in advance.
No matter how u try, it all depends on luck. With chinese developer rom I was able to unlock mine but not my friends RN3. The real truth is that xiaomi doesn't want to you to unlock otherwise why to complex a one command process. Its better to flash zxc twrp with miui rom flash method without unlocking or unlock it unofficialy.
Now to your answer if you want it. You can flash chinese developer rom via edl method through mi flash
Just flash via EDL and choose flash_all in MiFlash.
I had 50% problem with unlocking many times and it was always something to do with drivers or bad connection...
i think need sign in account has unlock permision to you phone and wait 1,2 days

Flashed the chinese rom using MIFlashTool. Still no luck.Same error.
Couldn't verify device.
ZXC twrp will help to install Lineage based ROM without any problem?

First of all why would you flash any rom via fastboot/miflash? when you already unlocked the bootloader? because in doing so your bootloader will relock automatically (Mostly on Globle Stable roms because those come with locked bootloader).
My advice re-flash Globle Dev version and try.

If your phone is really 64GB version as you're saying then it could be internal partition problem which could be solved by various apps (root is req.) and within TWRP, please try otherwise flash Global Dev via TWRP (preferably redwolf recovery, because it contains lazy flasher and many things for MIUI).

Hey everyone! In the past, I have tried to unlock my Redmi Note 3's Bootloader via the official method (yes I have permission), and also fastboot oem unlock command. Nothing seems to work, and I am going to follow some tutorials to get ZCX TWRP on my phone. Provided it works, I need to know some things:
1. Will those tutorials (they all do same thing; flash ZCX TWRP via Mi Flash EDL) unlock bootloader?
2. If not, will I be able to flash custom ROMs like AEX 5.7 via recovery?
3. Can ZCX TWRP be replaced by official TWRP?
Help with getting rid of MIUI (and my locked bootloader) would be appreciated.
Cheers!
Same thing happened to me... I accidentally locked my bootloader while flashing with MI flash. And now mi unlock tool saying "this account couldn't be used to unlock bl" (I too have unlocking permissions ??)
Now I'm stuck with stock miui rom??

I have this same error! Anyway, I'm now on official TWRP 3.2.2-0... Need to know whether it's safe to allow modification of System, and whether I can flash stuff.
Yes you can, almost 90℅ of redmi note 3 users have unlocked unofficially , just dont flash miui rom with twrp

How u know 90% are unofficial unlocked ?
Update: It works
I decided to try for myself, and successfully flashed AEX 5.7. Gapps is giving me some problems but that's probably because I installed the stock zip. Micro will probably be more stable while retaining face unlock feature. Thanks to everyone who helped, and the awesome community.
Because of error current account cannot unlock this device
