Yep. True

There is no option for OEM unlock

Yes, unlocking bootloader using Asus unlock tool will void your warranty. You won't get ota and cannot relock the bootloader. But if you unlock by unofficial methods, you can relock and get your warranty back.

There is no option for OEM unlock

The v6 tool downloaded from ASUS worked for me to unlock after I had upgraded to JB.
Glad it did! It was the only way I could get root.

It voids your asus warranty but yes, you have to do this to replace the rom.

After I unlocked the bootloader using the Asus Unlock Tool V6 in JB, I then flashed TRWP v2.2.2.1 (for JB) using the FastBoot method they have listed on their website. I then flashed the CWM/TWRP recovery version of SuperSU v0.96 and I had Root. Worked perfect for me.
If seen some people say you could brick your prime by trying to unlock it in JB, but I had to issues at all.

[Q] Re: Official unlocking bootloader of Kenzo

Do I have to flash China developer ROM before unlocking the bootloader officially through the MIUI update? Can use the latest stable global to unlock?
And will unlocking the bootloader with the official method erase all data? (Factory reset)
Thanks.
(I have already got the sms with unlocking, only waiting for these two information before unlocking)
I was officially unlocked bootloader with global dev rom.

You will get approval sms then install Mi Unlock Tool on PC. Connect mobile in fastboot mode. You can go to fastboot mode by pressing volume down + power button. And then click on unlock button in Mi unlock Tool.

Tell them that your device got bootloop. They accept this reason. Or tell them you want to root your device. I also told I want to root my Redmi Note 3.

1. You need a developer ROM version for unlocking the bootloader officially.
2. According to Mi Unlock Policy, you can use the permission for one month before it runs invalid. If it runs invalid, you need to re-apply for the permission, then unlock the bootloader.

I've applied for unlocking months ago and i can unlock the bl anytime i want just be careful that it requires a sms verification code when changing computers, so keep your phone working while you do that, or Mi Flash won't work.
Afaik, it doesn't require any special things for unlocking the bl, it will work no matter what you have installed on it, goos luck unlocking.

Guys, it has been said many times...
Only for the first time unlocking you might need to flash china/global dev to unlock it via fastboot.
To do that, simply boot in fastboot, boot in EDL, flash with MiFlash latest china dev fastboot ROM, flash zcx TWRP and then you can flash whatever you want, if BL gets locked anytime again while flashing (phone will blink and turn off), just boot in fastboot (only thing you can do at that point), run MiFlashUnlock, sign in, unlock, reboot)
Thats it, couldnt be more simple

thanks but its too complicated for me... so I guess I would stick to Stock MIUI

Its not complicated, it may only sound like it is, but its not
Just use official guide to flash through EDL, you cant possibly screw anything on snapdragon devices

No, you do not need developer rom afaik to unlock the bootloader, probably he just meant that you have to enable usb debugging from developer settings, that's a must.
---------- Post added at 09:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:15 PM ----------
Just try unlocking it with mi flash and see if anythinf goes wrong thru the process, you simply cannot screw the device with anything by doing that, if anything goes wrong and you can't unlock the device post it here so we can help you forward with the process, good luck.

Guys, does all this applies the same to the "Kate" Version ? Basically just as a reference also i have a Redmi note 3 pro Special edition (international/global), running android v6.0.1 MMB29M, Security Patch 2016-11-01, MIUI Global 8.1 Stable 8.1.1.0 (MHRMIDI).....any advice please !
This applies to any xiaomi phone ;
By permission i understand unlocking approval, yes, go to xiaomi unlock and apply for unlocking and when you get the rights to unlock ( i hadn't recieved any kind of email, i just checked by practice ) go and do it.

My bad, guys over 4PDA forum unlocked it using HCU Client not DC-Unlocker
IMPORTANT: Before proceeding, enable "manufacturer mode" on your phone. This is done by entering in dial pad code *#*#2846579#*#* select "Project Menu", "Background settings", "USB ports settings", "Manufacture mode". Then connect it to PC and Hisuite for drivers.
