Redmi Note 5 AI is a variant of Pro version and both has codename Whyred, this Forum was created for Redmi 5 Plus device so be careful to flash the right firmware onto your device.
If you already have a TWRP or other forked recovery you can flash it directly within from it, you have to pay attention cause this device has ARB protection (don´t try to downgrade). In the case you need to flash more partitions, you can use MiFlash Tool just take care in the options Flash all, Save Data and Relock at the very right down of the tool.

Hi guys,
I'm from India, and I have the Redmi Note 3 Snapdragon 650 variant. I have successfully unlocked my bootloader via the official process using MiFlashUnlock tool. I am on MIUI Global Stable 7.3.2.0.
Now that I have unlocked my bootloader, I want to root my device, and I had a few questions.
1. What's the method of rooting. I read that I need to install TWRP. A link to the latest updated guide would be much appreciated.
2. After rooting, will I be able to get proper regular updates? If yes, will it unroot my device after the update? If yes, then what do I do?
All in all, I am looking to root my RN3 and keep getting proper OTA updates and still retain my root access.
Any help in this regards would be highly appreciated.
Thanx a lot in advance. Desperately waiting for a reply
Edit: The main reason for creating this thread is coz there is a lot of confusion right now as there are various methods to root RN3 and then there is a different way to do it if you've unlocked your bootloader UNOFFICIALLY.
With all this chaos, I just wanna know what's the correct procedure for me
+1 good question, i also want to know, see complete guide for ppl who unlocked officially ONLY.
You can receive OTA's, and you can download them, but you can't install them.
Also you should flash the official TWRP if you officially unlocked the bootloader. Be sure to download the universal boot image patches from the safe TWRP thread and also you can root from TWRP. When you open TWRP, it'll ask you if oyu want to root.
Use this recovery : http://en.miui.com/thread-282773-1-1.html , then you dont need flash modified boot.img everytime you flash miui roms.
After you flash OTA updates , your root access will be gone, so you need root again from twrp.

Exactly i m stuck here( kind of), cause this installation guide start like this.
" Reboot to twrp.
........
...........etc,etc.
Now it doesn't say how to flash twrp.
That alka.... author thinks/ want us to on twrp preinstalled. Help if possible to officially unlocked ppl
You have to flash recovery via fast boot
Sent from my Redmi Note 3 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Thanx a lot for the replies guys.
Well, I wanna learn everything that's related to Redmi Note 3 flashing, rooting, etc.
Like, to install TWRP, why do we need to flash a modified boot.img file? Is this also required if we have UNLOCKED OFFICIALLY?
Also, @justinxfan @ddarshan - why won't it install the OTA? Nonetheless, after downloading that OTA zip, we can install the OTA zip using TWRP without losing any data, right? And then, of course, as you said, we can again gain root access via TWRP right?
By the way, for now, I am not interested in any roms. Am very happy with the current MIUI Global Stable ROM. Just want root access but also wanna learn
It will be awesome if someone can list the differences and what to do after official and unofficial unlocking methods. Few more questions, does flashing any miui rom via twrp after official method will relock the bootloader or it can be done only by edl method? Also, flashing by edl method will remove twrp right?
Seriously guys, please help us out
if u unlock bootloader unofficially ,it will void your warranty but official unlock will not.

+1 for cofface's TWRP. I'm on officially unlocked and rooting works by flashing the latest SuperSU.zip through TWRP. I am not sure if Global Stable even allows root though, since I'm on Global Dev. I can also recommend going to xiaomi.eu ROM when you are unlocked. It's rootable and based on the latest version of MIUI without the chinese bloat. A good filler until a stable version of CM13 is released.
Hello,
I have received of this particular Redmi Note 3 Pro Prime Special Edition (3GB Ram one).
It comes with MIUI Global 7.3 Stable 7.3.7.0 (MHRMIDE).
Now I see there are so many different guides and version and I would like to confirm before proceeding.
Essentially I want to unlock the bootloader and install custom roms (CM).
What is the best way to proceed?
Install Developer Edition (miui_HMNote3ProtwGlobal_6.9.29_f35a25dd3f_6.0) downloaded from http://en.miui.com/a-232.html ?
I am planning to do it via Updater application from the phone.
Have made a request via website for unlocking the bootloader. Anything else I need to do?
Thanks
Almost everything same with kenzo (RMN3 Snapdragon).

make sure you are signed into both i.mi.com and your phone using the exact same credentials.
I've unlocked mine probably a dozen times now, with some rom's locking and me reflashing over and over again. No issues, never got stuck at 50%. I've only ever used my email account to link to Mi account, never my phone number.
Hello. I came here for help. As i no longer focusing for phone rooting, i'm not able to switch back to stock rom for Mi 9T. Currently i have old MIUI 10.5 by xiaomi.eu 9.8.1 . I want to switch back to stock, most up to date version of ROM for this phone. I would like to ask how to do it. I'm pretty sure i need to update my firmware before flashing latest stock rom but i don't know which firmware. Can somebody post here up to date manual with steps how to do it? I also know about some MIUI program for Windows that can help but i saw many times it just hard bricked the device. I would appreciate some experienced user to tell me what to do.
I'm really sorry to ask here for this (newbie help) but as i said, i'm out of it for like 2 years now.
PS: It would be nice to don't have anti-rollback protection (just in case)

This guide should help you. This is for locked bootloaders but the main procedure is almost the same:

As your bootloader isn't locked anymore the whole thing is less risky.

You are right but In rooting realme device before you enter fastboot mode for unlock, You should instal a app in-depth-test, after that you can go to bootloader unlock step. Latest device need to flash vbmeta.img(may be an empty file or modified) after flashing recovery
My knowledge based on realme 3 pro
Try searching videos on youtube too.
Hi
I bought a second hand K50 gaming but working with poco f4 gt rom. If I proceeded to relock the bootloader, will that cause a brick doing so? And may I know why in simple way?

You can re-lock the bootloader only with a CN stock rom.

Are you 100% sure about it? I am aware that it has been like that for a good while now, the thing is that i just installed the lastest MIUI CN via fastboot. I have a F4 GT and its now showing device model as 21121210C which is for CN. The device model of F4 GT is 21121210G and i believe that would prevent from properly locking it. I think MIUI 13 would always show 21121210G no matter the rom you flashed but they may have changed it, perhaps due to too many RMA's.
Sadly im not gonna risk it to lock it since i cant really afford the trouble it could cause, if we ever get a leaked qfil programmer ill give it a go.

This is not the case with a Xiaomi Eu rom that you have quoted.
