Hello and first of all thank you for reading. I've a strange problem with my redmi note 3 pro.
i was chatting with it but suddenly it starts to have bootloops (mi logo flashes). I tried to restore it with recovery (it was still not unlocked) but nothing to do. So i flashed rom with the miflash and in edl mode (i tried latest stable, latest developer and first developer fastboot roms) but the bootloop was still here. So i tried to unlock bootloader with unoficial method (official says that my phone is linked to another account, absolutely false but i will come to this point later). Tried to flash zip with TWRP but still bootloops. I was tired and i tried cm13. It worked, phone boots and i was absolutely happy but dialer crashes when i receive calls. So i understand that my phone wants the boot.img of android 6.0 to not go into bootloop. I flashed (via TWRP) latest 6.0 based miui rom and it worked but still with dialer problem. I tried to unlock it but still no go. So i decided to try to sign out of my miaccount (yeah it was still there after flash with miflash in EDL mode, don't know why!) becasue it asked me to enter my password to use the phone when i boot miui 6.0 for the first time.
SO i Have absolutely no idea on what i should do. Phone bootloops when i use a 5.1 based rom, and with 6.0 dialer crashes. That's the strangest thing ever.
I tried many fastboot roms in edl and in fastboot, i tried custom recoveries and stock one, tried to unlock and relock bootloader. I tried basically everything (wipes, system-data-cache-internal) EVERYTHING!
please if you hava any idea i will be glad to try!
I've tried to restore a backup from another RN3P but still bootloop. Maybe is somethig related to the boot.img? changing it makes the phone boot.
Go to a Mi service center. They might be able to help you.
Which gapps you installed after you flashed cm13...
When i used stock package, my dialer was also crashing but when i used micro package, the problem was solved....

I had a similar issue a while ago with a friend's Samsung. The service center people said that it was a RAM issue..
. If you can return the phone to wherever you bought it from, Do it ASAP and get another model...
Otherwise you might have to go to a service center and tell them exactly what you are facing. Before that i must suggest
Try installing a custom Kernel perhaps and see if it still bootloops
For every worst case software/firmware failure, full rom flash would be the one to solve it. Based on your story, it must be the hardware problem. So if possible, bring it to your nearest service center..
i really thank you for the reply but this phone comes from china and i'm in Italy so I have no warranty at all (including the fact i changed the screen) I think i will use it as an ipod. I've posted a log of the kernel bootloop so maybe someone with skills could help me!
that's the log! http://pastebin.com/b3CVcBAT
Hey all!
I just got my Note 3 (Snapdragon/Kenzo) from DX and it came with global US rom. I checked and its bootloader is already unlocked. I want to update to Miui 8 global dev but I'm worried with this unlock, is there a way to know if it was officialy or unnoficialy unlocked? I want to flash the oficial recovery rom but heard that it can brick the phone if it was unnoficialy unlocked.

It came with Miui 7.3 Stable (7.3.2.0.0 LHOCNDD)
Please, help. =)

That is a vendor rom.
More than likely it is unofficially unlocked, because your only allow to unlock 1 device per month for each account.
Since your bootloader is unlocked, flash an official rom (which might lock the bootloader again).
Don't flash the latest 6.0.1 rom yet as you might not be able unlock with that.
Then unlock officially.
Check the reddit xiaomi wiki for guides.
Got it! Thanks, for your answer. I realy dont mind unlocking, I just want a miui 8 dev(it has a built in root, right?). I just was afraid of what method of flashing I should use with this unnoficialy unlocked bootloader. I'm going to search this wiki for it.
And better do a Alka TWRP backup now, before anything! Then, if you get your bootloader locked, you can always restore the backup to your current status - ROM and unlocked bootloader. I have two Kenzos in the same situation, and that's the way I do it.
Nice! Will do. Can't I just use that recovery to install an updated rom? There is an annoying bug on this version, I can't open my contact or dialer app, they close befero they appear on screen, tried erasing data but no help.
Boot from TWRP without installing it, make the backup (all partitions), then make sure you get the backup on your PC. After that you can install TWRP and make whatever you wish.
And don't forget, if you need to restore, do it without restoring the firmware partition, or else you'll get an error.
Thansk! But I think I will stick with the global dev. Can I flash it via Fastboot (MiFlash)? This unnoficial unlock wont cause any trouble, right ?
This is not an unofficial unlock. Is isn't either official
My phones came with some vendor MIUI's - 7.4.9.0(LHOCNDD), respectively 7.4.18.0(LHOMIDD), but I never flashed another MIUI, just custom ROMs. For what I know, if you flash via fastboot it will wipe the entire partition structure, including boot and recovery, and the bootloader will get locked. In that case you can not restore the backup you make now. You'll have to apply for official unlocking, or go unofficial.

that means.. you recieved an unboxed device, may be refurbished, repacked and resealed and sold $25 costlier than the original. :silly:
Not necessarily. I have two, buyed from a local big online store, both came with unlocked bootloader. Both boxes were sealed, with no sign of foreign hands
I have 7.3.2.0.0 LHOCNDD rom and unlocked bootloader. Can I just type on fastboot:
fastboot flash recovery recoveryAlkaUpdate.img
to get twrp(alka)?
Thats work!

I have the same MIUI vendor as you, 7.4.9.0(LHOCNDD), what method did you use to install TWRP? I only want to install AOSP/CM based ROM on this device. I want to flash it ASAP cause this MIUI ROM have a Trojan downloader, which luckily can be disabled.
I used Cofface on first phone, Alka on the second. Before flashing, first boot from TWRP image, make backup of all partitions to the SD card, copy the backup on computer, and only after that flash the TWRP image. After that... flash ROMs

hello,
my current situation: i am on oos 2.2.3, not rooted, twrp 3.0.1-0 running.
i want to install a 3.x.x oos, version, i wanted to install 3.1.2 first, cause oneplus site i can install that directly form 2.2.3 (no such info on 3.1.3 and 3.1.4)
when i try to install with twrp, it says "this package is for "Oneplus" devices, this is a "ONE"
i think i am using the wrong twrp version. tried to install the newest (3.0.3-0), but this one doenst work, can not boot into it.
please help
Best is to fastboot flash old OOS 2 recovery
Then, with it, flash the 2.2.3. Reboot. then Flash 3.1.4. with the recovery
First you need to flash official oxygen os recovery for android 5.1 lollipop https://s3.amazonaws.com/oxygenos.oneplus.net/OPX_recovery.img Now you will be able to boot the phone. Now download and copy oxygen os 3.1.4 to internal memory http://downloads.oneplus.net/devices/oneplus-x/ Reboot into recovery and flash the rom.
Aftrr successful flash of oos3 boot into fastboot and flash latest twrp from twrp website.. This time it should work.
thanks, it work with the costum recovery.
on 3.1.4 i installed a slightly older twrp form sparkfire (3.0.2 i think), rooting and installing xposed worked fine though.
is it important to have the latest twrp?
and another question. at some point in my hours long struggel with updating my opx i softbricked it. i guess my bootloader was locked and i tried to install another recovery. i expected it to be still unlocked from my first rooting months ago. when does the bootloader lock?

It is always recommended to use latest (bugs free)
You can use this one https://dl.twrp.me/onyx/twrp-3.0.3-0-onyx.img latest as of now. And no u didn't brick ur phone. U flashed a new twrp for old bootloader version. Thts y u got stuck with oneplus logo. Its all oneplus things. Its always preferred to use stock recovery for updating bootloader which is safe. Check your bootloader state by giving this cmds "fastboot oem device-info"

I had downloaded latest version of lineage OS from official website and I tried to flash on my REDMI Note 3 Kenzo but I can't here is the screenshot attached of remark.
Pls help
I was just about to post about this. I have the same issue, a work around I found was described in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGVOR0kugZw
However, now that I have it installed, and try to OTA update, I get the same, I have to repeat the steps in the video every time I update, kinda frustrating and unnecessary imho. I had the latest MIUI updated and unlocked with the miui unlocker before the wiping and installing. All I have found its related to the bootloader not supporting android N.
Look at the error and you will see the issue.
Your firmware is too old.
Download one from Lineage thread and flash that before Lineage
update, I installed the firmware from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/development/firmware-hmnote3proglobal-t3574361
now update goes thru like its supposed to
every recovery i flash gives me ERROR 7 :/
i have a 'kate' and befor i used to flash roms without issue. kenzo roms and flash kate modem done.
but phone crashed some months ago so i changed but now i want it again. and now im back on did a edl flash miui beta unlocked bootloader flashed twrp (all the twrp possible btw i tried all i could find) they all dont want to flash a custom rom i tried 7 different ZIP of custom roms... i tried to flash 4 diffeeent versions of RR 5.7.4 and 1 RR 5.8.4 all give error 7. flash kate modem. still error, then flashed modem with emmc thing patched nope still wont flash any custom rom
does anybody know how to fix this
You have to erase dalvik cache and DATA it will bring you new setup but still your device would be updated....
Hi Folks,
Need some serious assistance in getting Lineage OS(14.1 / higher) and other custom ROMs in the Future.
Current state & issues :
1) current state :
--ZCX TWRP recovery installed (Flashed via EDL mode)
--Locked bootloader(yes, its locked)
--Lineage OS 13.0(marshmallow) installed, Up and working
2) Issues :
--SIM 2 undetected
--VoLTE doesnt work
--old ROM
History of my Rooting/tinkering :
1) Did I Unlock boot loader officially /unofficially ?
--Unofficially - ofcourse!
--As you all know that Xiaomi has dropped unlocking support to this phone, I waited for a good 4 months( until september 2018) before i tried the unofficial unlock method, very reluctantly though.
Method of unlocking :
-- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FmaCdnLi58&t=5s (i was able to unlock the bootloader, install sTWRPv2 for Kenzo)
--MIUI 7.1.8 Global rom worked fine along with sTWRP v2
--FLashed official Lineage OS 14.1 (from Strixx). It went into eternal bootloop.
--Flashed ASOP/pixelrom/ressurectionremix/Los15.1/16.0 and they all went into eternal bootloop.
(I did not flash any firmware)
--Shutdown my phone, charged it to 100%
--Then followed this ZCX TWRP recovery method: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EDoPtCe3C0 [or] https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/unlock-unofficially-install-zcx-twrp-t3586778
--Flashed Lineage OS 13.0 ( i thought it may work)
--Lineage OS 13.0 from https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/development/rom-lineageos-13-0-t3533744
--Finger print sensor didnt work, No SIM card detection.
--Flashed CM13-Firmware.zip(from Strixx), wiped cache, flashed LOS 13.0
--Wola, OS booted up, worked.
--As noted in the begining of this thread, bugs.
--Tried flashing LOS14 firmware+LOS14.1 from strixx, no go
--Kept getting Error 7 - which means my recovery is incompatible???
--I wanted to flash another recovery - specifically designed for KEnzo, by strixx.
--Hit the wall - Since I flashed ZCX TWRP from EDL mode, it locked the bootloader again.
--Now ***Only Cyanogen mode 13.0*** works now, with bugs of course!
Now that i've come so far... the questions for Mods/devs who can help me out!
A) what is the ask ?
--No MIUI, complete movement into Lineage OS 14.1 / 15.1
B) Will you flash other roms int the future ?
--Yes, would love to when i have the freedom to do so
C) do you need root access?
--Not an absolute necessity
D) can device boot into EDL mode and be detected on laptop ?
--Yes (using 2016.08.30.0 flash tool), windows 8.1 x64
E) do you have any backups ?
--No, i forgot to do it.
F) Current state of the phone ?
-Unlocked unofficially
-Flashed ZCX TWRP
-Locked bootloader again(because of ZCX TWRP)
-Lineage OS 13.0 works fine, CM13.0 Firmware was flashed before i flashed the ROM.
-VOLTE does not work, SIM2 does not work. SD card works.
G) Can you get the phone to service center to start afresh for a good movement into Lineage OS/ custom ROMs?
--Willing to do so
H) how experienced are you at this ?
--I'm a noob. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
I) Have you read other threads/forums to fix this ?
--Yes, i was extremely confused after seeing everyone of them and decided to seek help.
J) Will this phone be my daily driver ?
--Absolutely yes!!
K) Any specific links/files that you need ?
--Please point me to it, will try to get the link/files.
L) worried about battery backup ?
--Yes!! i would prefer a stable ROM with good battery backup & network coverage , over extreme performance.
Is this a duplicate ? please point me to the right thread. i'm all ears!
Install Miui 9 via fastboot or edl
I recommend you RED WOLF recovery
Resurrection Remix or AEX Nougat rom (for best battery backup)
Agni Kernel
In my opinion your problem is or Firmware or Recovery.
See in the forum for links, im in the phone now.
If you with this cant boot nougat rom i suspect of hardware issue.

Hi, I have an old Lolipop bootloader which is unoficially unlocked and I just updated to redfox TWRP
I have on the phone now perfectly working "ressurection remix" android 6.0 marshmallow but with unoficially unlocked Lolipop bootloader
so I understand this: if I upgrade to the last firmware without the emmc file it means that it won't upgrade my bootloader at all, that means it will remain the old Lolipop one unoficially unlocked
so my questions are:
1).will I be able to flash Nougat or Oreo custom ROMS if I upgrade the firmware without emmc file but I will STILL be on very old Lolipop bootloader? (as I understand newer Oreo ROMS need newer bootloader)
2).or I'm better updating the firmware with emmc file included, that means it will lock my bootloader but will also upgrade it to the newest bootloader so I'll be able to install newer Oreo ROMS ?
regarding my second question, I would use the 2nd method in this thread to install custom ROMS with locked bootloader https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/kate-guide-install-lineage-os-locked-t3546154

★ Redmi Note 3 SD Latest Global Stable Version Fastboot File Download
★ Redmi Note 3 SD Lastest Global Developer Version Fastboot File Download
which one do you recommend ?
Also, could you please refer a guide for flashing fastboot ROM via EDL mode ?
Once i flash this fastboot ROM, i guess it will lock the bootloader again and I need to unlock it unofficially. If I were to unlock it unofficially on the latest fastboot ROM, how would i go about doing that ?
the only method i know is to flash 7.1.8 ROM with modified emmc file and then unlock bootloader. will this take my firmware back in time and be incompatible with newer custom roms ?

Please dont do that. The issue with ZCX could be that its designed for Android M. the newer ROMs will have issues since its not updated to suit android 7.1/8.1/9.0
I'm stuck with ZCX and none of the 7.1/8.1/9.0 ROMs are getting installed. I unofficially unlocked the bootloader, waited for 4 months.
This guide is good, but it does take you back to 7.1.8. if I can avoid that, it would work for me and you:

Until the bootloader unlock, its simple. beyond it is a little muddy.
Bump, please advise on this.

Dude I have officially unlocked. Its been 2 yrs i had been to miui global rom. Since then I m just flashing firmware emmc to keep my device uptodate.
I have never tried and no idea how to unlock unofficilay.
But if u need proper advise then install telegram chat app. All the xda followers and devs are more active on telegram compare to xda.
Just install telegram and search keyword like redmi note 3,
kenzo development,
kenzo news,
kenzo roms,
miui roms. Or any other specific group related to custom rom like resurrection, aex. U will get quicker response .

I have installed MIUI 10 based developer ROM 8.9.13. Did a clean wipe, everything is restored and working as expected. Could you please recommend an article for unlocking bootloader unofficially ?
OFficial unlock isnt working for me. I've been trying that from May 2018.

You can try unofficial unlock method if you really want to unlock boot loader.
I have been using my kenzo without unlocking boot loader with Redwolf or pitch black recovery and AEX N unofficial by pzqqt.
If you want custom ROM you can try without unlocking BL.

Unofficial method
Hi Folks,
I’ve officially lost my Redmi note 3. It was snatched away, while waiting for a taxi. Anyways, Leaving a suggestion here if someone is unlocking Redmi note 3(kenzo) in 2018.
Before anyone starts!! Please read this once and then start.
All credits to original developers
I’ve just put in steps to unlock and install TWRP after multiple failures
This unlocking is only for Kenzo. 32GB/3GB Indian Redmi note 3 model
Try at your own risk
Is there an option to revert to stock if you are fed up of trying ? Yes. Flash the Global stable ROM using this method : http://en.miui.com/thread-235865-1-1.html
Pre-requisites:
A) I don’t recommend ZCX TWRP method, it locked my bootloader again.
B) Disable driver signature enforcement on windows
https://www.howtogeek.com/167723/ho...8.1-so-that-you-can-install-unsigned-drivers/
C) Ensure that you have the phone connected to the PC always, until the end. Disconnecting it in the middle of a step could take you back to Step 1&2
D) Use only the older Mi flash tool - v20160830(which has Qualcomm Drivers - ), *NOT* the newer version of unlock tool
E) Charge your phone to 100%(to be on safer side) before start
F) Download the necessary files and keep them ready. *DO NOT keep the phone in EDL mode and then, start searching for it! Your phone does not charge in EDL mode*. if your phone shuts down while flashing, it will cause bigger issues.
*MIUI DEV ROM / https://en.miui.com/a-234.html
*(optional) Cofface TWRP by feds64 / http://en.miui.com/thread-296053-35-1.html
-> You can find “FIX” in the in 30-40 page. Not sure. This works with lineage OS 14.1 too.

* Lineage OS 14.1 / https://download.lineageos.org/kenzo
*MIUI Flash tool 2016.08.30: http://api.bbs.miui.com/url/MiFlash [or] https://androidmtk.com/download-xiaomi-mi-flash-tool
* Open Gapps pico 7.1 , ARM x64 – https://opengapps.org
G) Create “C:\RedmiNote3\” folder and place all the downloaded files(ROMs/unlock files/TWRP etc) there. There should be no spaces in the folder path.
H) Ensure that you select “clean all” in the mi tool, always. Do NOT select “Clean all and lock”
I) Certain articles may be redundant, but more information always helps. IT took 2-3 days to get all the files that I need. If you cant find something that i’ve listed, let me know. Will try to get it.
Quick overview of the install sequence :
1) Reboot phone to EDL mode
2) Flash the Developer Fastboot ROM from Xiaomi
3) Set up the phone(with / without Mi account)
4) Enter EDL mode again
5) Unlock phone unofficially
6) Copy Lineage OS 14.1, open Gapps (x64 ARM – PICO) & TWRP in the memory card
7) Enter Fastboot mode
8) Flash TWRP official
9) Advanced wipe in TWRP : Wipe data, system, dalvik/cache, internal storage
10) Flash Lineage OS 14.1
11) OMG!!!! the Phone isn’t booting, what can I do to revert to factory settings?
Follow steps 1 & 2 and you are good to go!
Procedure that I followed :
I. Disable windows driver signing on your windows machine
II. Download redmi note 3 Developer fastboot rom(Global DEV) : https://en.miui.com/a-234.html
-select “★ Redmi Note 3 SD Lastest Global Developer Version Fastboot File Download”

Download : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24591000424940129
-execute Reboot.bat
-Reboot to EDL mode (Red LED flashes)
-Your phone will show up in Windows OS’ “device manager” as Qualcomm 9008 diagnostics(it should come up this way)
IV. Flash the DEV Rom, using mi Flash tool : http://en.miui.com/thread-235865-1-1.html
a) Version of mi flash tool required: 2016.08.30(this worked for me)
b) Install MIUI Global DEV ROM via EDL mode by following instructions in the MIUI FORUM
V. Setup your phone after flashing DEV Rom. Tap “build number” 7 times to enable developer options
VI. Developer options (I was signed into my MI account while unlocking bootloader UNOFFICIALLY) no issues there!!
VII. How to unlock unofficially ?
-Follow this : http://en.miui.com/thread-2407819-1-1.html
a) Follow First 7 steps
b) unlocking phone using following commands :
“Fastboot devices”
“fastboot oem device-info”
“fastboot oem unlock-go”
Quick check to see if unlocking worked “fastboot oem device-info”
c) “Flasher toolkit” by Feds64 seems to be broken, Install TWRP manually.
VIII. After you unlock your phone, reboot to Fastboot mode
IX. Flash TWRP official, manually
Download : https://dl.twrp.me/kenzo/twrp-3.2.3-0-kenzo.img
commands to flash TWRP :
“Fastboot devices”
“fastboot flash recovery C:\redminote3\twrp-3.2.3-0-kenzo.img”
X. Reboot to TWRP without booting to MIUI
“fastboot boot recovery C:\redminote3\twrp-3.2.3-0-kenzo.img”
“Swipe to allow modifications”, but ensure that you DO NOT modify partitions.
XI. Do you see CHINESE text in TWRP? switch language : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxPeYJYsUYU
XII. Ensure that you have Lineage os 14.1 downloaded and stored in a memory card.
https://download.lineageos.org/kenzo
In TWRP, you need to do “advanced wipe”
Dalvik cache,
cache,
internal storage,
data,
system
XIII. Flash Lineage OS 14.1, Open Gapps – Pico, x64 ARM.
