Hello Everyone,
I am posting this after a frustrating few days trying to figure out how to unlock my newly bought Redmi 3.
I have applied for the unlock, which i received about 11 days later.
Now i have been doing the following things to try and unlock my bootloader.
Currently running MIUI Global 7.1.1.0.0 STABLE (LHPCNCK)
First i tried to unlock it normally through the unlock application.
I got stuck everytime on 50% on verifying the phone,
Never got it working.
I then understood i need to install the dev rom for the unlock.
So i tried that through the download section on miui and tried to use the updater app to install it.
i got stuck at a point were it told me that the verifying of the package failed and it will not install.
Tried doing a fastboot installation but it came to a message saying that my bootloader is locked therefore i won't be able to flash via fastboot.
Please help me unlocking this.
I hate the MIUI rom it suck.
Let me know if you need any further details
Updater app can install dev rom zip. Download again, previous might be corrupted.
Here is what's wrong: Updater app only works in official ROM, and your current ROM (7.1.1.0.0) isn't one, it is a modified ROM.
So to sum it up, you need to follow these steps:
1. Flash the official stable ROM. fastboot version, using MiFlash, http://en.miui.com/thread-228048-1-1.html, (notice even if you are flashing fastboot ROM, don't go to fastboot mode, instead, to download mode) then
2. Flash the developer ROM, recovery version, using Updater, http://en.miui.com/thread-228054-1-1.html
note that developer ROM also available in fastboot version, but I don't recommend it since some had tried and resulted with bricked phone.

Well that's weird, what's your current ROM now? 7.2.7.0 yet?

I'm not OP, but I have the same problem as him.
I followed your steps and am stuck at step 2: can't verify update
I am on 7.2.7.0 stable.
Edit: turns out I had to download Dev version 6.4.21 and not the 6.3.17 that was in your link. Works now, thanks!

Yes, yes. It's not me who made that tutorial, probably he forgot to update it to newest version, one of the first thing to do when troubleshooting is that make sure you run the latest version, I think 7.2.7.0 to 6.3.17 failed because it's a downgrade, and downgrade can only be done using miflash or custom recovery. Anyway, glad it worked for you too

Hi y'all!
I'm really having trouble flashing an official stable rom on my device. The rom archive is miui_HM3_V7.3.2.0.LHPCNDD_6a5e1bc33c_5.1.zip.
I downloaded it and copied it to a folder (downloaded_rom) on the internal storage of my redmi 3. After selecting it in the updater app I get asked whether it's OK to delete all data, because the rom I'm updating to is older than the one installed. My phone's miui version is MIUI 77. Stable 77.1.1.0 (LHPCNCK). The doble 7s seem odd to me and may be part of my problem (I bought the phone like that). Then, the device is rebooting and I can see some kind of progression bar for a couple of seconds on the botton of the screen but then it just reboots into android and nothing changed
I also tried to flish it via Mi PC suite. Here, after connecting the device in fastboot mode, I got the message that my device isn't supported.
I also believe that the bootloader is locked and I already got the "permission" from xiaomi to unlock it but I had no luck with this either. The Mi unlock tool is telling me, that the "current account is different from the account info on the device" which wasn't the case after I double checked.
Am I missing something here?
kind regards

yes.
because you are currently in modified rom (rom supplier or seller, etc, etc) you cannot update or do anything about it
flash the official rom using miflash method
after that you can update using updater program

I'll try that and report back. Thanks!
Okay, finally I managed to flash my phone with the newest miui.eu rom. What I did was:
- Flashing the official Xiaomi Rom (MiFlash package) via MiFlash (1st try in Win32 wasn't working. 2nd try on Win64 did the job)
- I had to update to the newest official stable OTA, because somehow, I wasn't able to unlock my bootloader with the older version.
- I unlocked the bootloader using the MiFlashUnlocker.
- Updated to the official MIUI 8 dev rom using updater app on my phone
- On dev rom I granted root acces to flashify and flashed the twrp recovery image on my device (which gets wiped from my device every time I reboot - anyone knows why??)
- Reboot into recovery and flash the MIUI.eu zip which is now running on my device.
Thanks for the help guys!
Hi.
I am having the same problem, with pre-installed rom: MIUI 77.1.1.0 Stable. The updater app obviously doesn't work (now i know why) and the MiFlash software doesn't seem to work either. It doesn't recognise the phone, browsing to the downloaded rom does nothing. Am i missing something?
Update, it now recognises the phone, but miflash is saying it can't find the file specified (0x80070002: Execute flash_all.bat)
Thanks for any assistance you can give.
Update 2. Just found out you need a different version of the Rom for fastboot. available from http://en.miui.com/a-234.html for anyone searching.
Okay so Miflash began the process when i had the Fastboot rom, but failed at about 2 percent as the device is locked.
Although i have permission the Mi unlock tool won't unlock my phone as it says the accounts don't match that on the phone, although i have quadruple checked them.
Research suggests it might be a problem with the custom rom on my phone, or that i need to be on the China Dev rom to unlock?
But i can't flash the China Dev Rom!!!
Is there any way to get my device to stock rom?
Sorted.
For the benefit of anyone searching, i followed the instructions here: http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=redirect&goto=findpost&ptid=242867&pid=4510751

Do you have an unlocked bootloader? You need to check in fastboot mode, by typing in fastboot oem device-info
you may have to boot straight to recovery, or the recovery image may get overwritten
my bootloader is locked.i think above method is for locked bootloader.right.i pressed power+volume up right after flashing(after disconnecting cable),phone showed mi logo and then after 5-6 seconds its showing to connect cable again. also when i use miflash tool to unlock bootloader.its not showing advanced menu in miflash tool.any solutionfor that too.my desktop is windows 7 32 bit os.do i need a 64 bit os to get all options in miflash tool.pls any solution.
Can anyone confirm the successful installation on Kenzo along with the step by step guide. And please let me know which fastboot rom should be used for fastboot flashing. Because we have 3 type of ROMs on Kenzo I.e. Global Stable, Global Developer or Chinese Developer rom. Please provide the step wise installation guide so that I can carry on

I can't write you a detailed step-by-step guide because my English is not so perfect, but: you need to install the Global/Chinese Developer rom. Must be Developer rom, but you can choose which of them (Chinese or Global).
I made it with Global Developer, so I can confirm that this method perfectly works.
Luck!

thank you so much it worked perfectly.and i hope installing xposed framework wont be a problem in the future.
Ok guys, im at the end and need your help. I searched for this Problem since yesterday but couldnt find what describes my problems.
I think i did mistake after mistake, and yes im a noob, so feel free to dump on me what you got
Yesterday i wanted to update Sultan's CM ROM on my OPX, so i downloaded it and tried to install it over TWRP what gives me error messages. I made a factory wipe and installed OxygenOS 2.2.3 and then updated my TWRP to Sultan's new one (Version 3.0.2.3). After i flashed the .img, TWRP wasnt booting anymore, it was stuck on the 1+ Screen, but i was able to get to the System. So i get Root access over the SuperSU App and then flashed the TWRP zip over the Rashir App and TWRP worked again, then i flashed the new OxygenOS (3.1.3) what was successful. But now, TWRP wont work again. When i try to boot into recovery, it just show the 1+ Screen and Vibrates for maybe 1 second, but than it skips and boot automatically into System. The SuperSU App says its no SU File installed and can't be installed. Fastboot didnt't work either. When i connect it and type in ADB devices it shows me the ID. But with Fastboot devices nothing happens and im unable to do anything over it. (Drivers are correctly installed, without Signature check by windows etc.)
I know, i probably made some huge mistakes with all that. Do you guys have any solutions to get the Bootloader working again?
Thanks for any helps!
best regards
That recovery was for new BL and you flashed it over Old one.

I just recently went through most of what you have gone through... Be patient though... It seems that the unlocking of bootloader even after you getting permission, takes atleast 2-3 weeks more.
- You can flash the miui global dev rom, you may download it from the miui forums... Here is the link for the fastboot rom http://en.miui.com/a-234.html.
- To flash the dev rom, you need to ensure you put your phone into fastboot, ensure all the fastboot drivers are installed on your computer
- Also, you need to ensure that you download the GLOBAL/DEV FASTBOOT ROM(this is different than the regular zip package) that you download.
- Then you can follow the instructions to install the ROM using miflash tool
- If the ROM installation is a success, then you just need to wait patiently atleast for 15-20 days from the time you got unlock permission sms from MI
- Then try running the flash unlock tool, it should get unlocked.
- Now flashing TWRP might be tricky, I was able to flash the official TWRP, but had issues where the internal memory wasn't getting mounted, because you keep getting asked for decryption password in TWRP to mount the data, no matter what you enter, it might not work
- After trying many TWRP types, the one that worked was "zcx twrp"
- Once you flash that, you should be able to flash any custom or miui roms you need :good:

You may try the steps on this link http://en.miui.com/thread-235865-1-1.html
Skip the EDL thing and go directly to the part where they explain how to use the miflash tool to flash a fastboot ROM
I should have asked this first... what's the state of your phone right now? Does it boot, stuck on boot loop, or are you able to boot into some ROM.
maybe u have a vendors rom, flash the fastboot rom using edl
finally a downloaded adb 1.4.3 and installed it and i flashed dev rom in EDL mode.
but now i have some questions:
can i change kernel with locked bootloader?
if i change kernel does fingerprint work?
You just dont have proper drivers installed im 100% sure, else it would go via edl
Hehe was right������
And why dont you ask for official unlock approval? Its approved in less than a day, anyone saying otherwise have old news
Or you can always use a method in this forum...
Alright folks - heres where I'm at.
I started off having the phone brand new as of christmas.. I managed to get the bootloader unlocked, and TWRP installed. for some reason (and i've searched for days now with no success) i kept getting this error in twrp when installing a rom "unable to mount /persist invalid argument" ... So after not having any luck with custom installed roms, bootloops i decided to put the phone back to factory. Factory from the MIUI website which was 8.1.1...
Well, since unlocking bootloader (unofficial way) and upgrading to 8.1.1 - the phone will not turn on. it just says Encryption Unsuccessful - reset phone. Which I do, and it goes back to the same screen, Over, and Over, and OVER.
I managed to get two rom on it (8.0.6 global) and (8.0.7 china) but both have broken / no google play services.
Now I have this beautiful device, with no chance of unlocking the boot loader (I think) and no chance of putting a custom rom AND no working play store. Although it isnt a paper weight just yet... I'm about to say thats what i'm going to do with it soon.
Any help on getting a custom rom, the latest MIUI, or just working play services is greatly appreciated .

You mean put the phone in EDL then use fastboot rom via miflash? if so then yes. I've tried using multiple versions of global, and then one version of cn. I also tried to put one version of cn on there, then do the recovery update for developer mode, unfortunately that doesnt work either.
Question - is there a version of someones premade rom anywhere thats flashable via miflash?
Thanks,
