Hello guys, i currently own a Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 Prime, and so far i love it!
But i have had some problem with it (battery life, no HDR etc) since there is not a "Stable" rom for it...
I've read that it's "harder" (if we can say that) to create a stable ROM if it's a MediaTek Processor, is that true?
And since Redmi Note 3 Pro will have Snapdragon 650, will it be easier to create stable ROMs for it?
If you ask why i don't use MIUI 7, well i really want to use MIUI 7 for my Redmi note 2 but it doesn't have my native language and therefore i use a custom ROM instead.
answer is yes but

SD chipset officially supports cyanogenmod so answer is yes,but there is catch... xiaomi locks bootloader so for unlock it will take you up to 15 days .... xiaomi must give you permission to do that .... so better to know that before you do anything .... must be some global rom for redmi note 2 prime miui 7.1.... i'm not sure witch language you want ....

They lock it?
That's the first time I ever heard that android device needs permission to unlock something.
But how come i didn't need any permission to install a custom ROM in my redmi note 2 prime?
I just found a ROM and installed it and it worked great! (Well almost)
The language i want to use I Swedish, but it isn't available in MIUI 7

i dont know any for swedish but they locked it before 2-3 weeks .... now must do it... there is no recovery before unlocking bootloader... also cant flash twrp or cwm before unlock so you must wait .... any user can unlock it but wait up to 15 days... its easy to root,flashing beta miui roms but CANT ACCESS RECOVERY its all about "user security" and site like icloud called "i.mi.com" ... there is software for unocking but you must log in with your acc and must have permission on acc to do that... so it becomes complicated SADLY XIAOMI ... VERY SADLY ..... SHAME ....

Sorry for a late reply, but damn Xiaomi is becoming more and more like Apple with their updates to prevent hackers to jailbreak the phone...
This is is taken from the link and I quote: "but also to fill in the details, including your “reason to unlock” description — yes, you must explain to them why you want to unlock the bootloader, so it really is an application process."
My ONLY reason is that they don't have my language in their ROM.... If they refuse to accept that I won't buy that phone...
But one question though... My CM 12 in my redmi note 2 isn't that stable, but since the redmi note 3 have a snapdragon chip, will that make is more stable than a Mediatek chip when someone make a CM12 ROM for the redmi note 3???
hmmm

i understand that... but reason is : I bought note 3 and i wanna do whatever i want with that.... isnt it? it was not free for me....
look rm note 3 have mtk chipset and have cm 12.1 for it and have ressurection remix rom
rm note 3 pro have sd chipset and i think no roms for it yet couse bootloader .... its annoying for devs.... again shame... they mean that they are too big for fall .... dear xiaomi u didn't...
The reason the pro has no roms is because no developers has the phone yet and it is the first snapdragon 650 device in the world. There will definitely be good rom support for it but not for some time to come.

Wow I had no idea that it's the first snapdragon 650
Well that explains a lot, I guess I just have to wait to buy the phone until some Roms is released.
Xiaomi locks the bootloader now because many retailers added adware and spyware, it is really just to protect the customers, you can still unlock it after approval.

Plus, according to Xiaomi - they will release kernel sources for the device up to 3 months after the device has been launched in India. That means no stable custom roms until they release the sources.... if they release them at all
But I read that you could bypass the unlock method some where on the internet…I will post the link asap

There is currently no developer ROM available for RN3 pro, so this will not work

Error at 50% Unlocking - just like with every other stable ROM, following the exact method from Xiaomi forums.

Hi, I need help. My girlfriend bought a Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 32GB / 3GB RAM Mediatek Helio X10 version.
I want to upgrade the firmware because it needs an upgrade. Since she bought it, February, it didn't updated one single time, and it has some bugs that upset her. So, here is the problem.
I already asked for permission from Xiaomi to unlock the bootloader, and already got it. When I tried to unlock, got the 50% problem (Current account is different from the account info on the device). Since then, tried to flash (from the Updater App) the developer ROM, also with no success (couldn't verify package).
The last option, I believe I have, is to manually flash (using MI FLASH software) the developer ROM and after that, unlock the bootloader to finally install the MIUI 8.0 (that's the goal of all this, with the unlocked bootloader).
So, how can I do this? Suggestions, tips, tutorials, guides or experiences, everything is welcome!
You have to go to latest Beta/developer Version and the Unlock should work...
Else just Update miui, because maybe the Bugs are fixed

To unlock the bootloader, you must have the MIUI developer installed on the device

I already solved it by 'hard flashing" the miUI 8... because that's the version she wanted. Didn't try to flash the miUI 6 [developer] because I was lazy, but mainly because I didn't see any gains for her from doing it [unlocking the bootloader].
Thank you 2 for the replies!
Hi Guys,
I've been searching for 2 days now for a clear guide on how to unlock the bootloader for the Mediatek version and haven't found anything other than the official way. Can someone point me in the right direction please?
Thanks.

Hi again,
Another plea for help, I'd really appreciate it. I can't even make a MI account so I'm totally stuck.
Thanks.
Bought an old redmi note 4 from local shop. It is on miui 9 stable rom. Then after some days i flashed AEX 8.1 ROM used for while, Now i want to go back to stock ROM so i flashed global beta version and flashed successful,
then the problem comes after completing initial setup this messege appers" device is locked sign in with mi account" i have already an mi account and password but the user name appears is someone else account ,i don't know whose account that may be 1st owner's .
Question is Is there is any way to overcome this? There is no option to change the user name only password entry there.

Im pretty sure you cannot change or overcome it, person which you bought the phone from should deregister the device from Mi account first.. if he didn't do it then contact the seller.

If you have original proof of purchase with original box then you can try to contact Xiaomi support or maybe local Xiaomi service centre if you have some nearby.
Personally i wouldn't even bother, MIUI is bloated garbage anyway just stick to custom ROM's.

It's nothing interesting, just few cosmetic changes to look more like Apple's iOS.
im thinking of getting this phone. I loved my p30 pro but the lack of support and no bootloader unlock or root availability sucked. How is xiaomi with this? are they cool with letting you mod the phone with root, custom roms etc?
yes thats no problem an rom support u can get the xiaomi eu rom
wen u have that on u dont need anything else

Because it's far better than anything else.
I'm on xiaomi.eu right now, but looking forward to some AOSP ROMs like Pixel Experience or EvolutionX! Correct me if I'm wrong but now that the global version of the phone is out, I assume we can be expecting these in the coming months? Perhaps directly on Android 11?
Ok, so the phone can be bootloader unlocked and rooted? What about custom ROMs is that possible? I just don't want to spend the money and be stuck on their version of the os in any case I don't like it, just like it happened on emui with the p30 pro

Yes, that's both possible, however we don't know how many devs will buy the phone so there's that... Currently, I own the Mi Mix 2s and custom ROM support is awesome. I hope for something similar with the Mi 10. To unlock the bootloader you need a Xiaomi account, when I got my Mi Mix to years ago you had to apply for unlocking permission with something like "I want to develop stuff" or something, after a few days you would get a text that says permission granted. Afterward you start the mi unlock tool and then you have to wait for something between 3 and 30 days(for most people it was 14 days) until you could finally unlock.

Yeah it used to be like that but now to unlock bootloader you still need a Xiaomi account, but no need to apply for anything. There's a Xiaomi Bootloader Unlock Tool in their website and you can do it through that without needing to apply through their website/ forum. Might still need to wait a week or two after registering the phone to the account tho.
Coming from a P30 Pro, I now own the Mi 10 series & I unlocked both of them.
Waiting time in both cases has been 7 days.
So far I tried Xiaomi.eu ROM, which is based on the chinese ROM.
It's fully translated in several languages & also keeps the good stuff untouched, which you won't find in the official Global ROM.
There are stable builds and developer builds, that are regularly updated.
I also tried MiuiMix, which is based on the Xiaomi.eu ROM and is pre-rooted & tweaked for
more smoothness and better battery life (so they say).
It is either regularly updated.
I also hope for more custom ROMs (I liked Resurrection Remix on my Mate 10 Pro)...
Hello ,
I Root some of my Xiaomi more or less knowing the procedures.
I may purchase REALME 7 Pro & if the very first step unlock bootloader using Indepth test apk., can use on this model ? not necessary a must match version of Indepth text apk ?
also, is Readme OS accept Magisk root by patching the boot.img without using TWRP ?
( similar procedures as ROOTING on Xiaomi devices ...taking out boot.img from formware ....using Magisk to patch image...... flash it back & forth between devices & computer...without using TWRP. )
Thank you very much.

Hey I wouldn't suggest rooting or unlocking bootloader even if it is simple as ABC because this device is going to get updates for sure so it wouldn't be wise yet.

You get the point !!
Unfortunately , I M-U-S-T root this as I'm required to use TASKER heavily due to my work ( and my own interest in tasker )
On Xiaomi devices they are an easy life since I've been following every firmware updates , then I download separately this firmware on my desktop, root this back by MAGISK_PATCH_BOOT.img ( sort of like you know what I mean )
There is no need no hassle to make Xiaomi root again after the firmware updates. Most importantly Xiaomi not require to re-install all apps by using above methods after firmware updates.
I hope this realme 7 pro using the same procedures. ( I just have made the purchase from India to DHL me at USD375.00 )
Thanks!

Realme 7 pro, will get official bootloader unlock tool and official kernel sources available(hopefully) in the coming, so no need to take risk just wait for it, realme is a tech enthusiast brand so I guess they won't disappoint

If you are really impatient you can try to gain temporary root and extract the boot.img using any app or ADB commands even magisk root via ADB is possible afaik I myself am waiting for the kernel and bootloader unlock but I feel this phone was launched in an early state to compete against Xiaomi phones in the same price range. Now unfortunately for us consumers this means till Android 11 update kernel sources might not be public but most probably after that it might be possible and if you use root for YouTube vanced and stuff I think there is a non root method but it's very irritating.

I use TASKER and you now know which is why I need to damn deeptest.apk
temporary root is somewhat a good idea however is not fit in my case since my realme 7 pro bought over e-bay India so that anything brick I seems have big trouble sending back & forth for repair.
It is still good hints about temporary root as I never heard of ................
Hope I'm not soon to say goodbye & sell it due to long time waiting and without root. ., it happened on me once on the Vivo 19 that I sold it when I confirm it definately not root-friendly.
Thank you very much !!!!

I have already unlocked the bootloader. But we will have to wait till kernel source code is released for custom recovery and rooting.
