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:

Ok. Thanks!
So should flash China ROM and wait for unlock?

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%"
Has anyone managed to unlock their bootloader on Global stable rom that your phone shipped with?
I'm specifically asking Indians. And of course I'm asking about Snapdragon variant which ships here.
If it didnt unlock on Global stable, what did you do next?
Also please don't post about the unofficial hack method. I'm well aware about that. I want to know about official method.
I also have the same query, please anyone give a proper answer.

yes, Tutorial: http://en.miui.com/thread-235865-1-1.html
if you're not a developer or custom roms lover, you don't need unlocking, flashing and unlocking are risky and so many people got bricked, think twice before any action

Well
I got that 50%error too
I was at 7.1.8.0 got ota to 7.2.3.0
Then i logged out and factory reset it(optional)
Signed it and synced again and let it be for 3-4 days
Tried it and it went through
Maybe it is due to slow syncing with chinese server

I managed to unlock bootloader on Global 7.2.3.0 ROM.
I faced the 'stuck at 50%' problem too. It didn't work for me on Dev nor Global ROM. The Mi unlock tool said it couldn't verify accounts.
But after waiting for about a week I tried again and it worked!
Apparently Xiaomi's unlock process has some bugs and the accounts fail to verify properly. You have to give it time to sync.
Also in developer settings make sure to enable OEM unlocking. The Dev ROM has this enabled by default so maybe that's why more people had success with it (and maybe why people were reporting that unlocking on Global doesn't work).

I have already unlocked by unofficial method , by your official method boot.img , some good guy will be able to make modified boot.img of your officially unlocked one in which we don't need to delete bootloader file to switch between MIUI ROMS to prevent bootloop and bootloader relock problem again.
So request to you upload it.

[Snapdeggon Variant]

Hello, the unofficial method to unlock the bootloader given over at http://forum.miui.co.in/forum/mi-de...5165-redmi-note-3-snapdragon-unlock-the-beast is not working for me, no matter how many fastbboot ROMs I flash with Mi Flash Tool, or upgrade / downgrade using stock RECOVERY ZIP files.
Everytime same error, at fastbbot oem unlock-go it says "Invalid unlock token" or something like that.
.
I have already received confirmation sms for Official unlock, but that method not working, it is stuck at 50% and says "Please verify that same mi account should be logged in to device" or something like that.
.
Are these known issues already? And if yes, any other workarounds???
.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks a lot !!!
It is a common known issue. I unlocked by first bricking my phone by flashing MIUI rom when unofficially unlocked, then my phone unlocked using the miflash unlock tool. Alternatively you could flash the global dev or china dev rom in order to unlock

So flash China Dev then unlock officially?
Also, won't it really result in exchange of modem partitions instead of Indian modem that I currently have?

First you have to switch to miui rom and relock your bootloader . Then pray that you don't get stuck at 50 % .
I got the permission to unlock bootloader two weeks ago but stuck at 50% .
I flashed every rom be it global stable or Dev , china stable and dev and that too every previous version of MIUI (Wasted so much of data) but to no avail .
Finally I unlocked the bootloader unofficially .
Xiaomi is ****ing lazy to update our account on there server....
So doesn't matter what rom you install you have to wait atleast a week to unlock

Hey bro a little update . I unlocked the bootloader unofficial way and it was over a week after I got the confirmation SMS . So wanted to go back to MIUI with locked bootloader state for official unlocking .
Flashed the fastboot rom through MiFLash and I was back to MIUI with locked bootloader state and then unlocked it officially .
Hope it helps .

Yep did it with two devices after a week of confirmation sms . No trying in between so lets say after you have flashed global give it a go if it doesn't happen then do not try in between and try after straight 7 days .

Congrats glad i helped you .
Hi, I need to fix a bricked RN3 Pro for a friend. I don't want to unlock the bootloader. Are there are good ROMs other than the official Xiaomi ones that can be flashed to it? Preferably without the Chinese apps. I started looking through the ROM forum but everything seems to need unlocked bootloader.
The only roms that can be flashed to it on a locked bootloader are the official roms.
Actually I found one here: http://choimobile.vn/threads/locked...bal-xiaomi-redmi-note-3-pro-17-06-2016.67100/
It's SpaceX. The website is in Vietnamese. Does anyone have any experience with it?
Why don't u want to unlock the bootloader on official way? It's easy.. and every thing is flashable after that

It's not my phone, I just want to unbrick it and give it back as soon as I can, so I don't have time to wait for the unlock code.
Also my friend is not the type who cares about custom ROMs, he just wants it to work with no bloatware.

Flash Miui 8 Global stable 8.0.1.0 rom via EDL mode.
Hey everybody, I had recently purchased a Redmi Note 4 (SD).
I had applied for bootloader unlock permission and was granted it. I also switched to the Dev version of MIUI. I have enabled OEM unlocking, but under MIUI Unlock status section, when I try add account and device, I get an error code 86012 followed by a Chinese error message. Due to this, the Mi Flash application fails at 50%. I have attached a screenshot of the error below
Any help or explanation to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

If you want to stick to MIUI Global Beta don't flash TWRP. Otherwise in my opinion LineageOS 14.1 is really nice if you like a minimalist ROM
50% here too :/

How you switched roms? I mean how did you get miui developer rom? I also wanted the developer version of miui but as far as i know one needs to make a dfc cable or unlocked bootloader. So did you used dfc cable.

The dev version of the ROM can be installed using the updater app. You can download the zip and from the updater app select it as the update package. For this you need not use the dfx cable or have an unlocked bootloader.
The only scenario where the cable is needed is when you want to access fastboot when the bootloader is locked and you use EDL mode to flash
Hi, I am having the same situations and its more than 6 days now. I am getting the same message while adding the account in developer options. My question is...
Were you able to add your account in the developer options or it worked without that ?
