HI! I am using the redmi note 3 snapdragon variant,and i have unlocked my bootloader unofficially and curretly using cm13 rom.
I want to swith back to stock miui rom,i.e miui 8 ,bt i read that directly flashing the rom will relock my bootloader and brick my phone.I have lazy patcher and twrp installed in my phone.How to switch back to stock rom without relocking my bootloader since root access is very imp. for me.
Thank you.
Official unlock is better than unofficial unlock.. Try to flash latest global stable via MiFlash, and unlock it.. If 50% error appear, try to flash global beta and then unlock again..

Hi, according to this thread
Cofface is not recommended for unofficial unlocked bootloader
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67505475&postcount=2
Yet cofface is required for flashing to marshmallow roms. So can I get some confirmation here if it can be used for unofficially unlocked bootloader?

you may want to use the "safe twrp" version. its a variant of coface which ensures you dont flash the emmc file. however since you have CM13 which has its own firmware files.. i think you should go the EDL method and use the patched emmc file. refer this http://en.miui.com/thread-253680-1-1.html

And that's also from the same thread I just posted
His instruction is just a bit conflicted
Bootloader Unlocked UNOFFICIALLY via Mi Flash Tool
1. Rooting MIUI ROM
• Flash Safe TWRP v2 & Backup Current ROM
• Flash SuperSU Zip & Reboot To System
2. Flashing MIUI Lollipop Recovery ROM
• Flash Safe TWRP v2 & Backup Current ROM
• Factory Reset & Flash MIUI Recovery ROM Zip
• Flash Universal Boot Image Patcher Zip & Reboot To System
3. Flashing MIUI Marshmallow Recovery ROM
• Flash Cofface TWRP & Backup Current ROM
• Factory Reset & Flash MIUI Recovery ROM Zip
• Flash Boot Img Patcher & Reboot To System

Yet he also mentions
Cofface TWRP : Google Drive Link
• Based on Official TWRP 3.0.0-0
• Patches boot.img automatically, no need to flash UBP Zip after flashing MIUI Recovery ROM Zip.
• Users with official unlocked bootloader can use this TWRP tp flash custom ROMs as well MIUI ROM Zips.
• Users with unofficial unlocked bootloader should strictly not use this TWRP for flashing MIUI Recovery ROM Zip.

Un-Official Unlocked Bootloader Users should use:
Official TWRP : If they plan on staying only on custom ROMs.
Safe TWRP v2 : If they plan on flashing MIUI ROMs as well as custom ROMs

I'd appreciate if anyone can clarify if marshmallow MIUI rom for redmi note 3 can be flashed with safe twrp or cofface twrp for unofficial unlock bootloader.

Indeed it is very confusing with various twrp's around..I wish there was only one CWM or TWRP which could flash any rom..
TBH I have also officially unlocked BL, but looking @ various threads daily I am yet to flash TWRP..
It's very confusing & afraid that I would brick my device..:crying:

Hi, if I used the EDL method and flash the miui v8 fastboot files (with the emmc patch file)

There is a MM specific emmc file (patched)..look for that on miui forums and follow the steps . I can send you the link later. It will still be unlocked since you are using a patched file. But u will lose your recovery since you are flashing everything stock. So you got to flash safe twrp again after flashing the rom through fastboot. It's just like flashing the LL rom but with a different emmc file.
Alternatively you could use safe twrp as well but I am not 100℅ confident since MM has different firmware/ partitions so I dont know if it will work or not. There are too many users reporting various issues such as bootloop, no sim detection etc etc.
If any experienced user can write a detailed guide for upgrading from miui LL to MM on unofficial unlock using safe twrp, that will be great. Until then use EDL (but backup ALL partitions using Alka twrp before you start)

Hi, so I take the it steps are similar to edl method you posted earlier except that I have to replace the emmc patched files with mm version instead and start flashing the MM miui v8 rom.
I'd appreciate if you could share the link since I'm not sure where to find it.

Hello ppl,
I have unlocked the bootloader of my RN3 snapdragon version officially and i flashed the offical twrp on my phone.
Then i did a complete backup of the rom and then installed CM 14.1 (Santosh's build)
When i installed the rom,it relocked the bootloader and the fastboot mode now shows cyanogen logo instead of the mi logo.
The TWRP is working fine and i tried out both CM13 as well as 14.1.
i was on the miui 8(5.1) build and i tried to restore the EFS file to enable VOLTE on CM14.1 but no VOLTE is working as it was V5.1
I now have to revert back to MIUI8(6.0).How do i proceed?.
*I will flash the global MIUI8 developer rom using the TWRP?
*Restore the backup that i had done earlier with with official TWRP?
*Boot into eld mode(Cyanogen fastboot mode) and then use MiFlash and flash global developer MIUI version.
Please Help me with this.Need to get the VOLTE working fast and get back to MIUI.
First of all let me tell you that volte is broken and fluctuating in miui8 MM builds. Even though there are fixes but then you have to compromise fp scanner. So in my opinion flash xiaomi.eu rom 6.8.11 based on 5.1.1. But as per experience I have seen volte working in santhosh build. Just dont flash any firmware. And to revert back to miui8 LP just wipe partitions and remeber dat official MM roms are encrypted. Dont go there. Happy flash.

Didnt you unlock bootloader? If not then unlock it using mi flash tool, and check out roms from xiaomi.eu site not from miui.com, official site produce ****ty roms. They mess up data partition with encryption. Check out 6.8.11 based on 5.1 where VoLte works fine.

I have locked bootloader.Is it fine if i just flash the zip file using twrp
MiUnlock is not detecting the phone to unlock the bootloader.
Sorry for too many questions.Litte bit new to RN3 .It was easy to flash and do stuff with my old OnePlus One.
::And ill download the stable or weekly
I think you might lose IMEI/EFS if you downgrade from CM 14.1 to lolipop MIUI? Someone more knowledgeable can confirm.

download weekly, miunlock is not detecting? Hmm then may be it is due to windows drivers. If you are using x64 bit OS then you should tweak driver signature enforcement in windows. which twrp u are using? Use a twrp where you can backup efs, modem and other important partitions. alka, zcx are best twrps.

you can't do it, without update firmware your phone just bootloop not booting into system
For the love of all that is sweet, just do the following:
1. flash unlock_bootloader.zip from the LineageOS thread.
2. Flash Psy_Man's latest firmware ( Kenzo or Kate, whetever you need ).
3. Flash latest LineageOS nightly.
4. Clear Dalvik & Cache.

If you had your bootloader officially unlocked then do it the normal way, why even go to shady paths and get compatibility issues in future.
The thing is all those firmwares which claims that bootloader won't be unlocked just removes bootloader from firmware, so it doesn't get upgraded but if you're on lollipop bootloader you have to do it the official way otherwise you will bootloop.

Flash the firmware given by thestrix, and if your bootloader dosen't get locked you're on mm bootloader and fine to flash 7.1.2 roms. But if bootloader gets locked(which means you were on lollipop bootloader) then you have to flash latest miui dev rom through edl and unlock it again through miui unlock( it won't give you 50% error again).

I am on an old LOS build right now. So all I have to do is flash this https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634767927 in TWRP and I will be on latest firmware. And then I should be able to flash the new LOS builds without any error 7. Is that correct?

Yep, if bootloader doesn't get locked you're good to go. Otherwise you have to do all the process I have explained above.
My RN3 (Kenzo) is running miui 7,unlocked bootloader and twrp installed. But whenever I install any rom it bootloops. First I tried to flash XENONHD it gets stuck in the xenonhd bootanimation and after that I flashed Pixel rom in this rom it never gets beyond the google boot logo. What's wrong with my device? Please guide me to fix this.
is there a way to know what version of bootloader we have ? (LL or MM)
Not directly, but if you remember where you have got it, you can guess.

It means you're on LP bootloader. If you have officially unlocked, to upgrade to MM bootloader, flash the latest MIUI or the firmware provided by TheStrix on LOS official thread(this will relock your bootloader), go to fastboot, plug device and unlock via Mi Unlock. If you did it unofficially then read a few post back, someone posted a fix.

Nope.... well you can flash TheStrix's firmware, if your phone boots up then you're on MM, if it didn't(Mi logo flashes for a second before turning off again) then LP . Or try a safer way but you needed to download a full ROM. Download the latest LOS(or any latest LOS based ROM), flash it, if you get bootloop then you're on LP bootloader.

Thx for your help.
I've flashed 2 firmwares on my kate(whithout emmc-appsboot.mbn file in it):
7.5.25 (beta) and 8.2.4.0 (stable).
I've got no problem when flashig both, but when I flash Resurection remix (last build which is based on LOS) I stuck on bootanimation. But i don't think it's a bootloop because my phone dont restart(Black screen + MI logo + bootanimation). it just stay on bootanimation and never boot (ask for pin)
Wait but why do you need to unlock officially?? I unlocked unofficially and flashed lineage (i mean cm14.1) and it worked like a charm. Though you need the firmware.

Flash fastboot rom in fastboot with Miflash. Best flash latest global dev rom to unlock officially. Wait before you flash nougat custom rom until LineageOS team has updated the firmware (or flash thestrix firmware before flashing custom rom).

For unlocking bootloader, I followed this guide: https://www.digitbin.com/unlock-bootloader-xiaomi/
To install twrp, I followed this: https://www.howtogeek.com/240047/how-to-flash-twrp-recovery-on-your-android-phone/ and here I found minimal ADB: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
Miui Global Dev firmware, needed for N roms (not needed when you come from latest global/China dev rom, can be found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70660323&postcount=2

there's a new OTA update available but i can't seem to update via custom recovery
You can't update via ota if you have a custom recovery. You'll have to download full custom recovery Rom(1.8 gb) and flash it via twrp.
The update your talking about is 10.0.3.7 isnt it?

there are modified TWRP version in xda which supports OTA updates, try with those!
or as told above download full rom 1.8gb and flash it via twrp!
on saperate note,
always download full ROM and flash it because you may never know if OTA gets failed to flash and /or you have device booting in to fastboot Bot.
I always download FULL ROM (both Recovery(1.8gb) and Fastboot2.8gb
