About 1.5 yrs ago officially. I have unlocked 2,3 times after that. Currently there is a issue " current account cannot unlock this device" & no one have solution, everybody are waiting for fix. So I am thinking about unofficial unlock.

Try on linux OS. Some say u have better chance to unlock on linux os.
They failed on windows but linux very fast. No wait is required.
If u have linux installed then good.

Sadly and unfortunately you can't unlock the bootloader once you have the freaking 2.3.5 on your Photon.

If I want to unlock the official way, is it only the Chinese Dev ROM that works? How do I install this ROM without bricking my device if my bootloader is locked?
With Updater App and Recovery Rom. After that unlock bootloader and your RN3Pro is free
The Updater App always gave Rom not verified error for me but I managed to flash China developer Rom with Miphone20151028 Tool and then the Miunlock finally worked.

I'm curious about how to unlock bootloader using official way on rn3p in case I've already unlocked it the unofficial way. I'm waiting for xiaomi to allow me to unlock my bootloader for 3 weeks now and nothing...so i want to unlock it using unofficial way, but I'm curious is it possible to unlock it officially after that?

I have done it the official way.
1. You get the SMS saying you can unlock.
2. Download the miunlock app.
3. Start the program and follow the instructions.
4. If you get stuck at 50% while unlocking try with China stable ROM.
Not everyone is successful in unlocking on global stable.
I couldn't and had to flash China ROM.
If you still have problems wait 2 days and then it should work.
No idea why but for most it works this way when all else fails.
It's easy enough just annoying that the process is not automated with getting the approval etc.

Got my SMS and did unlock, phone said unlocked but it is not, will not let me try again, says words to the effect that it does not need unlocking already done, what a stupid idea this was from xiaomi
I succesfully unlocked my bootloader lastweek via the unoffical way. I flashed a Xiaomi.eu Multi rom with my own language. I removed the emmc file.
Today I received a SMS from Xiaomi that my unlock request has been approved. Now I want to use the offical way to unlock the bootloader, does anyone know if I need to relock the bootloader?

Just reflash China/Global stable rom via miflash. It will relocked automatically. Then proceed to unlocking using China Developer ROM.

Are you sure about this? Won't flashing stock ROM on an unofficially unlocked bootloader brick the device? Or the brick happens only if you flash MIUI ROMs through TWRP?

Brick only happens when you flash miui rom with twrp.
If you flash it using miflash with proper procedure, it will work as I have tested and done it before.

Lets say I unlock it the official way,and later I flash Miui using miflash does it lock bootloader again or no( which would be very weird to me if it does). It's all to confusing, I'm android user 4 years now but first time Xiaomi user and this is all weird to me. Thanks

I'm not sure about that. But i think it won't relocked back as you need to use some fastboot commands to relock the bootloader again. I might be wrong though.
But i suggest you to flash miui rom using the newly modified twrp(which will not require you to modify/flash boot.img) If AND ONLY If you unlock your bootloader OFFICIALLY.
after using miui 8 for 2 months i hated and now unlocked it officially i had some doubts will flashing offical rom will lock the bootloader again and brick the device hated and now unlocked it officially i had some doubts will flashing offical rom will lock the bootloader again and brick the device
If you are flashing custom Rom and upgrading from Lollipop to Marshmallow than your bootloader will get locked again, but some custom Rom might not relock the bootloader. official OTA update will not lock Bootloader, but don't worry if your bootloader gets locked you can easily unlock it using unlocker tool within few minutes. I've flashed many Rom which locked my bootloader but everytime I've unlocked it using unlocker tool. we don't have to get permission for unlocking and all other stuffs again its quite easy after first unlock. Hope it helps you.

You have to check it manually by booting to fastboot mode and typing following command
Fastboot devices
Fastboot oem device-info
If your bootloader is unlocked than it will show unlocked status true & if it is locked than the status will be false.

Can't it be checked by Mi Unlock Status in developer options (if I am running stock rom)?
You can do that only in developer ROM not in stable.
Hey, I've had my RN3P for awhile now, the wait was so long for official unlock and it didn't work for me so I unlocked unofficial. Now i'm wondering what the difference is between official and unofficial unlocked BL.
I've noticed that my bootloader seems to lock when I flash a firmware, which means I have the flash a fastboot rom to get the phone working again. Is this normal?
Also, I'm planning on updating my TWRP since I think I have a really old version, is there something I should think about before updating TWRP? Can the BL lock if I update? Also should I flash the strix CM twrp?
I looked at this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/guide-redmi-note-3-available-twrps-t3406708
and found the different TWRP versions here, which one do you recommend? The safe v2 or mabe zcx?
I think unofficially the bootloader can relock itself during MIUI updates/installs.
Anyone else that knows something for certain?
My mom is a woman!
