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.

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.
hi,
I have a RN3 SD currently running MIUI 8.0.1.0 Official Global version. I have officially unlocked bootloader on my device.
I am planning to flash Official CM13 on my device.
So, here are my questions ...
1. If I have a nandroid backup of MIUI 8 and supposed I am not happy with CM13, can I simply restore the nandroid backup and will everything be working the way it is now?
2. Will I keep receiving OTA updates from Xiaomi even though I have an Officially unlocked bootloader?
Or is there some step involved before reverting back to MIUI 8.
I will be very grateful if someone can answer this for me.
Thank you
Hello,
Around 9 months ago I tried to unlock, root and install custom ROM on my phone but all the ROMs I tried didn't work properly especially with fingerprint sensor ( I think it was because of unlocking through unofficial way) so I decided to relock bootloader and install stock ROM. Luckily I was successful and my phone is still working but I'm not very satisfied with MIUI after all this time especially that my phone is not getting MIUI 9.
And there is my question. Is it safe to re-unlock the phone? Now I would do it the official way. And are the ROMs working with fingerprint sensor for you?
Thanks in addition and sorry if I made any mistakes I'm still learning English.

It is completely safe by the official method. With the Nitrogen OS rom the fingerprint works perfectly.:good:
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:
[GUIDE] Flash Official Xiaomi Firmwares with a locked bootloader GLOBAL/CN
Hi, in this guide I will show you how to flash different official firmware (Global and CN) without having to unlock the bootloader. DISCLAIMER: Just to be sure, I am not responsible for any bricks or damage to your smartphone. Use this guide at...

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

Thank you.
Goodevening everyone, I've rooted my phone two months ago and Xiaomi launched a new MIUI update for my device: V13.0.5.0.SJZEUXM, while my currently MIUI ROM is V13.0.2.0.SJZEUXM. I've been looking everywhere for guides and tutorials on how to correctly and safely update my phone while also keeping root with all my apps and settings intact. I have TWRP as custom recovery and using Xiaomi Firmware Updater to download MIUI's ROMs. I personally don't trust old guides as they might be outdated and I don't want to cause any damage or completely brick my main device. I hope the answers to this thread might also help others in the future. Thank you!
