I have purchased redmi note 5 chinees version from a unauthorized shop. when i checked my miui version it says global stable 9.5.13.0.0 . and also showing bootloader unlocked . but i didn't get any update .later i found out that was a custom rom. so i try to flash with mi flash tool but the flash didn't take because the bootloader is still locked which i found from fastboot command but the phone showing bootloader unlocked. then i flash 9.6.4.0 global with EDL Mode .this time the flash done but
when turned on my device after flashing it still showing the previous mi version and nothing has changed
when i flash chinees rom 9.6.4.0(china stable) on it again the version showing the same 9.5.13.0.0 stable

Hi!
Facts are:
1. Your rom is fake.
2. You have to unlock your bootloader to flash stock or custom rom.

I have snapdragon device( kenzo).. officially unlocked bootloader and installed cofface twrp.. currently on cm13.. want to revert back to global stable miui 8 , which is latest release... how to do that?? plz help..
1) flash akla twrp from ur present twrp
2) flash miui 8 global stable rom (1.19 gb)
3) reboot to fastboot mode
4) connect ur phone to pc and unlock the bootloader from mi unlock
5) reboot
Congrats, now you're in miui 8
There is no need to flash Alka twrp, cofface will be sufficient.
Also, no need to unlock the bootloader again if its already unlocked.
Just flash the correct version from here http://en.miui.com/a-234.html through cofface twrp.
Also, dont forget to nand back up your current ROM.
Flashing the mi recovery rom through alka twrp relocks the bootloader, and that's why the device can't boot into miui after flashing.
Unlocking the bootloader solves this problem.
Both the methods are legit.
Up to you which one you'll choose.
I am not sure if simply unlocking the bootloader again solves the problem. I tried that and Miui would still enter the boot loop even after unlocking.
Hi! I have officially unlocked my bootloader.
Can I just follow this steps(no more no less) to go back to Stock MIUI?
http://en.miui.com/a-234.html
i'm afraid because I read that it may cause a bootloop to Mi logo only
I have Redmi Note 3 SD. I applied for official unlock while phone was on MIUI stable 8.0.6.0 (Lollipop) , but I did not wait for permission and I unlocked unofficial and I upgraded to MIUI stable 8.1.1.0 (Marshmallow). Safe TWRP is installed and phone is rooted .
What to do now ? Should I continue with official unlock ? Could it be done if phone is already unlocked (unofficial) ?
Does it change anything significant ? I think I would prefer to be officially unlocked , so the bootloader doesn't ever lock again , but I am not sure if I can or if I should proceed from actual state .
Thanks
PS - Just checked Mi Unlock status in settings and it says - This device is locked !!! . But in Fastboot says bootloader unlock : true !!!
I'm in the same position, and I've sometimes considered unlocking officially. But, for the most part, I am happy with my unofficial unlock and worried that the official process will not work immediately, so I haven't bothered to officially unlock yet.
This would be the proper procedure for doing so, I believe.
1. Take a full backup in TWRP and be sure to copy it to a PC or somewhere separate from the phone. Also copy any important files from internal storage to a PC or some external storage.
2. Flash the latest China development rom using Miflash. (This would relock your phone).
3. Boot and log in with your Mi Account. Check in with "find my phone" to make sure Xiaomi knows you are logged in on your phone with your account.
4. Unlock via the official method using the Mi Unlock Tool... and pray that it doesn't get stuck at 50%. (If it does. Do "find my phone again" and try again later... and again later... etc. Sometimes it reportedly takes days. This is why I haven't bothered to do this yet.)
5. After officially unlocking, you could theoretically restore your TWRP backup (probably avoid restoring any weird partitions other than system and data in case it screws up your bootloader).

I followed this guide - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtoeZg6K-z4&feature=youtu.be
Update - I tried unlocking official without flashing dev rom and relocking the phone - of course it didn't work because MiFlash could see the bootloader already unlocked . I will not bother anymore to unlock official if actual state of phone is safe for further custom roms .
Just to make sure - can someone advise if I can flash xiaomi.eu roms from Safe TWRP without worries ? Do I need to flash Universal boot img patcher too after I flash rom ?

I went through same path. Now on LAOS 14.1 . You can flash .. but do take backup of all partitions. Also do try to find what your FP sensor is. You may end up in issue like this https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3543397
Scroll though my other posts for more info.
The problem with Settings crashing , I solved by flashing Radon kernel - also FP is working with this kernel .
It looks like this Redmi Note 3 is much more prone to brick than Redmi 3 I used before. I went through quite a few bricks and failed flashes while unlocking and upgrading to Marshmallow .
With Redmi 3 , which I bought unlocked from Greece , I never had a single problem flashing custom roms - never used fastboot, edl , myflash , just TWRP .
So - no need to flash universal boot img patcher or anything else after flashing custom rom ?

Most guides say that you need the latest dev rom in order to unlock.
If you want to try with merely re-locked bootloader on your current rom, I believe maybe you can re-lock in fastboot?
"fastboot oem lock"
?

No, but you can lock it back like nothing ever happened, even if you let the bootloader unlocked you will not lose the warranty
simply go authorised mi service centre and asked him to software upgrade.and they will update your miui version 10.06.thnk you. i was already experienced same type of problem in past.:good:
otherwise you don't update your miui unless you unlocked your bootloader

Try downloading the file and use the system updater and select the downloaded file.
Normally it is compatible to stable stock rom update. However, you are downgrading the android version from 9 to 8.1 .. it may not allow you done. If allows, then it might wipe data and internal too.
Thanks

download the 10.0.6.0 fastboot rom flash it via Mi Flash Tool
Unlock your phone
Flash 10.0.6 with miflash tool( fastboot mode )
After flash with flash tool your phone will be locked again
so is there only one version of 10.0.6.0 ?! i am a previous samsung user and they used to release different official roms according to region and phone
I have received the 10.0.6.0 on my locked bootloader. Indian version here if that makes any difference ?
bootloader unlock, miflash will not work.

i just unlocked the device successfully and downloaded the 10.0.6.0 fastboot rom to pc

Since you already unlocked the bootloader, so no problem for flashing flash boot ROM into the phone, backup your phone into external SD card.
