Hello guys, I recently purchased a redmi note 3 pro SD from AliExpress & the vendor flashed their own rom on it. I can't do ota updates or use mi pc suite with it so I want to flash official China rom on it but I have no idea how. Could any of you kindly tell me how? Thanks in advance.

Download the official rom from Miui forums and use the built in updater app. I don't have this phone yet but it sounds fairly straightforward. Make sure it is definitely the Snapdragon version first. The locked bootloader is supposed to stop vendors flashing their crap onto it
I just bought one as well. Vendor asked if I wanted either it sealed or "custom upgrade". Bootloader locking was needed, as @pepdavies said, because of all the malware

and here's the procedure to flash Stable ROM or Global ROM to Note 3 Pro
Flash(Unbrick) Redmi Note 3(Snapdrgn) with Locked Bootloader
just follow carefully step-by-step.
I successfully changed vendor ROM to Chinese Stable ROM using above procedure.
If your phone comes with vendor ROM, and you can not update official ROM ota or by pc suite, then you have to flash your phone by the method mentioned above.
Download official ROM and use updater app will not solve the problem.
I've flashed my phone with official ROM, once you've flashed your phone successfully, you can update official ROM ota when new ROM is available.

I have the same problem with a note 3 pro SD650 I recieved from china. (MIUI 7.1 stable 7.1.18.0(LHOCNCL). Was unable to unlock bootloader without permission and therefore to flash any rom. Waiting now for authorization. Also unable to sync google contacts.
You don't need to unlock the bootloader. You can flash it using adb tools by rebooting into EDL mode, then you flash the official full rom

Hello xda,
please bear with me, but I'm a total noob when it comes to playing with Android (but I would like to learn).
My Redmi 3 came with MIUI Global 7.1 Stable 7.1.1.0.0(LHPCNCK) - some multilanguage ROM. I want the official one which has updates weekly (or biweekly), the one with English and Chinese languages I guess?
Do I have to root the phone? Unlock bootloader? What's the procedure? Please write it step by step.
You can use MiFlash to install an official ROM on a boot loader locked phone.
I would use one of the modified ROM though, because the official one has quite a number of Chinese apps and doesn't have the Play Store installed.
Step by step guide is available here:

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.
... sorry but I'm very confused ...
I'm reading the possible on the network, but the result is I always get confused more despite having a certain familiarity in modding having modded a galaxy nexus, and an LG G2 on which I installed TWRP recovery and various CyanogenMod ROMs.
Unlocking the bootloader in kate/SE, in an official or unofficial way, is still very difficult or almost impossible?
I often read of modified TWRP recovery, which sometimes give problems and sometimes it does not ...is it possible just put the official TWRP for kenzo?
If I can somehow install a TWRP, is possible to easily install the CyanogenMod ROM (after flashing ROM flashing kate modem is needed) and provide CM updates simply by flash new ROM via TWRP recovery?
Thks in adv
Nope! It's easy as 123... Please, check:
http://en.miui.com/thread-345728-1-1.html - for unlocked "emmc_appsboot.mbn".
You can also download ALKA TWRP, rename to "recovery.img", and replace it in fastboot ROM (image folder).
(As well as "emmc_appsboot.mbn emmc_appsboot.mbn", downloaded from the link above.)

I could not unlock my "kate" officially.
I've tried the method posted above, and works like a charm!
No bootloop, at all...
Thaknk yo so much for yr reply
I remain with the feeling of more complexity and less certainty, than the modding of the galaxy nexus and also the LG G2...
Official unlock works fine.
I have a Kate and unlocked it officially.
Just make sure to flash the global developer ROM, log into your MI account on the phone and press the "bind device to account" button inside the security settings menu before attempting to unlock.
I also got my Kate to unlock officially after using updater on phone to flash global beta rom.then in developer options clicked MI unlock status then linked phone to account. After that unlocked first try after many many failed attempts on global stable.
Nice news and info, thks so much!
But... why so many people can't officially unlock their kate having 50pc error...??
Which version of miui unlock tool and Global Dev. ROM you used when officially unlock yr kate?
I used global beta 6.11.24 and MIflash unlock_1.1.1111.1_en
Thks for reply and info

Welcome to Redmi Note 3 family.
Kenzo or Kate?
Snapdragon standard variant is called as a 'kenzo' and special edition Redmi note 3 with different radios version is called as a 'kate'.
Global/ Chinese?
There are two types of MIUI ROMs.
1. Global
2. Chinese
Difference in these both ROMs is that, you will find some chinese material here and there in chinese ROM. Global is fully in english.
Again there are two subtypes of these two ROMs which are Stable and Dev/Beta. Sometimes Beta/Dev ROM is also called as a 'weekly'.
So basically most of the devices have 4 official MIUI ROMs which are:
1. Global Stable
2. Global Beta or Global Dev
3. Chinese Stable
4. Chinese Beta or Dev
There is no connection between the type of ROM and unlocking bootloader.
Bootloader unlock method?
Since you know there are two methods to unlock the bootloader, I will discuss them one by one.
1. Official
You don't require to flash any latest or dev or chinese ROM to unlock using official method.
First of all you need a persmission from Xiaomi to unlock the bootloader.
Goto http://en.miui.com/unlock/
Login here. The account should be same as the one is on your phone.
Write the reasons for unlocking.
After that Xiaomi will grant you the permission. If you don't receive any SMS from Xiaomi, just check on the above link.
Even if you get the permission its most likely you will not able to unlock nootloader on first attepmt. But don't worry, try again after few days.
Use MiUnlock tool. Once you get the permision, that tool will be available on the above link or you can always download from here http://en.miui.com/unlock/download_en.html
2. Unofficial
I have unlocked my phone by unofficial method 6-7 months ago and I still have no issues at all.
Open this folder https://mega.nz/#F!LUxlHJBC!RK5_8fta4XWAVFqWoWrvjQ
It has everything what you need for unlocking bootloader unofficially.
Just follow this guide and you are good to go: GUIDE
You might have to disable Driver Signature Verification if you are using Windows 8 or higher (google it)
Recovery?
I will suggest you only and only following recoveries:
If you have unlocked your bootloader officially, You must use ZCX only.
If you have unlocked your bootloader unofficially, you must use either Alka or Cofface
Here is a thread where you will find everything about recoveries.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/redm...twrps-t3406708
All download links are in that thread.
Hope this will help! Happy flashing!

Soon.
When I met with Anuj (Xiaomi India's head of marketing) some time back, he mentioned that they have an internal goal to release the sources within 3 months, but they have been trying to do it as soon as possible. The Redmi Note 7 got its kernel code released a day or two ago, so I expect the Note 7's to come by next week (guesstimate on my end).

Question.
Having a Chinese variant.
Unlocked bootloader.
Normally I flash custom ROMs but want to give Global a try.
If I flash following the instructions given. Will it then automatically update to global OTA updates or each time would I have to flash via Fastboot?
How does global ROM exist if xiaomi didn't release global version? Is this ROM not made by xiaomi? User-made?
