Sim Card not being Detected after downgrading to 7.1.8 on Redmi Note 3 Snapdragon

Sim Card not being Detected after downgrading to 7.1.8 on Redmi Note 3 Snapdragon - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers

I was on Global 7.2.3 Stable Rom on Redmi Note3 Snapdragon. I flashed Global 7.1.8, but after that the phone is not detecting sim cards, I'm not being able to perform a factory reset as it requires to logging into Mi account. Also the phone is lagging a lot and I can't access to dialer app or device information to check the IMEI info. Can anybody help me out?

Check in about phone info if you have IMEI information available there ?
how did you go back to 7.1.8 ?

Adware ROM!

I have bought my kenzo from gearbest and now I can't even update using the updater app because when I try to install the global stable rom it says "Can't verify update"!!!
What shuold I do now?
I noticed that if I press volume down and powerbutton it goes into fastboot mode... but I don't know if my device is locked or not... please help me!

What rom is reported in settings - about phone - MIUI version.
See the reddit xiaomi wiki on how to flash official roms with locked bootloader using "Mi PC Suite" or "EDL / Download Mode".

It says: MIUI 7.4 stable 7.4.9.0 (LHOCNDD)

I had the same issue like you but I bought mine from aliexpress. Anyway what worked for me is applying for official bootloader unlocker then I put the phone in to recovery mode ( updater app 3 dots in top corner) .
On your pc you should install mi suit and It will recognize update.
It may delete your gapps it did it for me.
next step is unlocking bootloader through official app ( you may need to wait for approval sms)
Last step is installing the new software http://en.miui.com/a-234.html
I hope that helps

Your right it is a Vendor Rom.
http://en.miui.com/thread-310405-1-1.html

Thanks a lot!! :d

One of my phones came with the same 7.4.9.0 (LHOCNDD), but bootloader was unlocked. Check yours, perhaps you're lucky too

It's a vendor rom, use EDL mode to flash to miui rom. Follow the steps here. No need to unlock bootloader.
http://en.miui.com/thread-235865-1-1.html

mine had the same LHOCNDD (not global), I bought mine from aliexpess, Xiaomi authorized store- phone build date is 2016.7 so I think they come from Xiaomi like this I had to wait 2 weeks for them to get one in stock,
I wish Xiaomi would stop with these strange firmwares, they block OTA updates, have unlocked bootloaders and cause other issues -
why they don't just use the global firmware on en.miui.com is a mystery, it would probably prevent 50% of returns from people bricking their devices.

I have the same 7.4.9.0 LHOCNDD vendor ROM. Bootloader is already unlocked. I want to flash TWRP to use with custom ROM because I don't want MIUI. Which guide should I follow in flashing TWRP?

Help with replacing Redmi Note 3 pro Vendor Rom (out of ideas)

Hi guys, so my new Redmi Note 3 Pro (3GB Ram/ 32Gb rom) came in the mail today. I was excited because I want to give this phone to my father and I know its a good phone since I have one myself, running CM13. However, my problem is that I am unable to access EDL mode . I did adb command to run "adb reboot edl" and it just restarted the phone. I even did the volume combination keys and I am still unable to access EDL mode. I went the extra mile to even unlock the bootloader officially so it should be at a good start right now as it is. I suddenly realized that I might have a vendor rom running on my new Redmi Note 3 Pro. I looked up everywhere on google and none of the tutorials help me get rid of the vendor rom to flash back to official rom. Many of the threads from MIUI havent helped me. I was hoping if anyone could help me revert back to stock MIUI, doesn't matter which (developer, stable, china developer, etc.) I have took some screenshots from the phone to show you what vendor rom I am currently running and plus some of the errors I have came across while trying to go back to stock MIUI. I have done the whole flashing and unlocking bootloader before so i know the process and im not afraid to take instructions. Any help guys, I would really appreciate it!
Edit: Yes, i have also disabled my signature drivers while doing all of this.

I have. It is like as if the phone came with no EDL partition or something. I don't think that's possible. But yes I have tried that method, it was fastboot v2. Not sure what version that one is but I believe they operated the same way.

I'm open to the idea of rooting the phone with this pre-installed Vendor Rom and from there I can wipe it and flash CM13 since my bootloader is already unlocked. However I'm not sure if there a case for rooting and installing TWRP on vendor roms for Redmi note 3

Transfer latest global rom on the phone and use updater to flash?

Yeah I've tried that /: apparently those who have a fake Rom (Vendor Rom) cannot update via OTA by the updater app

Its not adb reboot edl.
Search n download fastboot reboot edl zip in miui forum.
Reboot edl will work from fastboot.

You do not have the Snapdragon Redmi Note 3. You have the Mediatek version as evident from your screenshot saying the processor type as "Octa-Core". The EDL mode does not work on Mediatek devices, as far as I know. You can follow this guide for MediaTek devices.

It's the non-pro version with mediatek chipset
You have been fooled

[How to] Revert to Stock MIUI ROM?

I'm currently on CyanogenMod, If I flash the global stable version through Mi Flash, will I continue to get ota updates and it won't brick my device??
Device : Redmi Note 3 SD

Choose the flash all option, it will clear out all existing (user)data on your device. In my experience, this will not brick the phone, but I'm not too sure about the OTA updates.
Best wait for someone who actually knows their stuff.

of course you'll receive ota updates.
clean flash via miFlash will relock the bootloader again and twrp will be replaced by stock recovery.
so, ota will work fine

Thanks all, will do it and update my experience here

You did roll back from CM to Miui via miflash? If so, you did chose a certain option (e.g. "flash all"), to ensure to get a real factory reset? I am facing the same situation actually.
Additional information, I unlocked my bootloader unofficially, which may cause problems with OTA updates, as I read. If you got a link to a fitting "roll back guide" including the unoffical unlocked bootloader, would appreciate that or an update to your efforts.

I selected flash without data, and I choose the latest mm build, so can't tell about OTA breaking as there is no update released after that.

Awesome..
From which CM version to which Miui version you have restored?
And you have selected flash all option?
You have flashed in EDL mode or normal faatboot mode?

Edl and i choose flash all without data, most probably 2nd option. Came back to mm stable 8.1.1.0 from rr 5.8.0

Somebody got any idea, why I cannot flash MIUI properly? I booted the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro Special Edition in Fastboot, it is recognized by windows and the miflash tool properly (used the same configuration to go to CM), I downloaded
Redmi Note 3 Special Edition Latest Global Developer Version Fastboot File Download &
Redmi Note 3 Special Edition Latest Global Stable Version Fastboot File Download
and tried both folders with the "clear all" option. It says it went fine and the green success message appears, but the process just took 0.5 to 1 seconds and if I restart the phone, CM boots with initialising the apps. I used CM13 with unofficial unlocked bootloader. Would appreciate any tips.

Unlocking Global Stable Rom 8.1.1.0 MHOMIDI

Hello I am from india and using redmi note 3 snapdragon with Miui global stable 8.1.1.0 [MHOMIDI] .
I got messege from mi that my account is verified now.
Overall...I did all things...to unlock my device officially.
But stuck on 50% ...could not verify device.
I did all things mentioned on each place of internet.
But failed .
1. Now I want to know clearly ...is it possible to unlock my device with global stable rom or not?
Because I do not want to loss my data again...
2. if its not possible to unlock global stable rom...then pls provide me compatible link for developer rom for my device in india ?
3. is it possible to switch from global stable to developer stable without losing any of my data and installed app?
Pls give me clear answers.

You can unlock on global stable rom. But you need to wait for few days (usually 4-5 days) before trying to unlock (applicable for developer rom as well). I was also in a similar situation. I flashed global developer rom, waited for 4 days and then it unlocked successfully.
And regarding flashing developer rom, you can flash the developer rom recovery zip from the updater app. Your internal storage will not be erased, but your apps and their data will be deleted. You can easily restore them if you create a backup from the MIUI backup app.

It doesn't matter whether you are on stable or beta rom. You get that "couldn't verify device" error because your mi account details have not been refreshed in xiaomi's servers.
Well, regarding wait time, it may vary. Once you give an unsuccessful unlock attempt, wait for 3-4 days before giving another try.

Unlocked today.
Now I can confirm....that bootloader unlock is possible on Global Stable Rom.
We don't need to go through developer beta Rom.
I had unlocked bootloader today on My Global Stable Rom indian variant.
Now What is the main key point to avoid stuck at 50%(could not verify device)...Read this.
1. Apply for bootloader unlock permission....with the same number which you are using in your phone Miui account.
2. Wait some days until you don't receive sms....after receiving confirmation sms...you again need to wait for 11 days.
3. After 11 days ...download unlock tool from Miui and adb driver.
4. Install adb driver....and check your device is showing in device manager on PC.
5. Now in your phone you must log into same account which you verified.
Also one more very important thing is that You must inserted that same sim card in slot 1 ...for which you verified.
if you used another sim card ...while log into same account...but still you will never able to unlock.
So must use same sim card.
6. Also must check mi cloud and log into there and verify your account there.
7. Now run mi unlock tool in pc as admin and log into same account.
8. Enable usb debugging and unlock options in your phone. And shut down.
9. Boot into fastboot mode and connect...unlock...will work successfully.
10. You don't need to remove your fingerprint or patterns before unlock...as I read on various place...it's not required.
Also no any data loss...after unlock it will auto boot...and your all data and will intact...

I was also getting couldn't verify device error. But after few days I was able to unlock it officially via mi unlock tool on 8.1.1.0 MM Stable rom. I am using ZCX TWRP Recovery and inbuilt root.

What do you mean by "global beta"? Global DEV ROM?
Can you please share what version did you use when successfully unlocked?

Unlocking working on Global Stable Rom too....
As I unlocked....
So it's not necessary to flash developer(beta) Rom.

[GUIDE] Bricked K20 Pro after flashing (raphaelin) 10.3.3

Hello Xda and K20 Pro-ians.
Just wanted to share with you what I did after accidentally selected “ clean all and lock” options during the process of putting in K20 Pro India ROM (raphaelin) 10.3.3 into my K20 Pro which was running on China (raphael) 10.3.14.
Started reading the forum and somehow TEST POINT Reset was my last option as I can’t boot into the ROM and was at the Recovery screen, Tried EDL as well still no go
I read through some post, and one of the members mentioned about using an older version of Unlocking application. Immediately, I tried all possible version that I could find and so far version “miflash_unlock-en-2.2.406.5” did the unlocking and straight went into the newly installed India ROM(raphaelin).
FYI. the latest version of MiUNlock doesn’t permit you to unlock bootloader process for another 30days (Mi Policies)
Steps Taken
1. Got my New Phone ( China Rom ) updated to version 10.3.14
2. Read through the post in XDA and begin ripping off my warranty -> Downloaded India Rom 10.3.3
3. Unlock Bootloader (waited for three days) -> starts flashing -> With Clean all and Lock option being checked! - FML!
4. Tried to unlock again with Miflash version 3~ no go
5. Install MiFlash unlock 2.2.4
6. Booth into Fastboot. Run the app and waited for 6 to 8 minute for the unlocking process.
7. Phone restarted
8. Happy days!

Apparently that's the claim. I don't imagine there's going to be many volunteers to deliberately brick their phone just to try this out.
We'll have to wait for the next person whose too impatient to fully read the guides and accidentally bricks the phone, before we can get any validation.

Hi Zadjalixx, unfortunately, is still L3, xiao mi need to up their game for this ~ I didn't root or load any custom recovery like TWARP into this phone YET. My initial Idea is the review the phone so I can use it for my daily drive. Also I can't see Netflix in PLaystore, ( so is a bummer for sure ). you have any alternative that could suggest? thanks mate.

Yeah , so far that works for me , I have given up at 1st and ready to make use of the hairdryer to remove the back cover to perform the test point reset.
I read through some treads which I am having issues to trace back, by using an older version of miflash unlock we can unlock the phone without the wait for another 30days.
Like Robo says we need to wait for the next victim to do so ~ I should have recorded a video during that process. Cheers ~

I don't think this will work . due to teh security level , It needs to have L1 rather then L3 to use Netflix service.

I also made the same mistake. I tried to unlock with newest and older unlock tool, but it failed. It is showing to go and check unlock status from the developer option. My device can't boot then how can to developer option?? Please suggest me what should I do. Thanks in advance

you need to download the chinese or indian fastboot rom and install it trough mi flash tool, then once the rom is installed again, you can go into the menu to enable bootloader unlock. Then you probably have to wait a week until you can unlock it using the xiaomi unlock tool.

Everytime I use the latest unlocker tool my phone won't boot to OS anymore and the stock recovery boots up. I have to do a factory reset and then i have to apply for the bootloader to unlock again.
Is there an option to see the unlock time without needing to reset the phone?

How is this correct? While Installing India rom, the bootoader got locked and you’re stuck at the Recovery menu. How Can you Enable Developer Options to bind the ID again when the device doesn’t boot?
Are you saying post the lockout, you booted immediately into fastboot and used the Mi Unlock?

Hi Mate, you tired using MiFlash unlock 2.2.4 as well ? Does it work. Basically once i Login to using my MI account and I leave the application run for few minutes and then I am able unlock the bootloader.
Most important step is that you need to put your phone to fastboot then unlock using older version -> then you should be able to boot into your ROM then from there you can enter the developer mode. But initially you should have your phone unlock(boot loader 1st right)
hope it works.

You need to boot your phone into fastboot. in order for the application to work.
Recovery menu ( Original Recovery from Mi / I have yet to load custom recovery like TWRP )
you could restart the phone and boot into fastboot even you are in the original recovery menu. Not sure if that makes sense.
thanks

My problem

This is a problem, when trying to pass the Chinese rom with the bootloader unlocked, the phone neither turns on nor fastboot mode and is only recognized via edl, have any idea what I can do?

I can't post external link. If you search on YouTube K20Pro EDL recovery you will get the video , that that is what you looking for.
The application only works if you are in fastboot mode. Thx and good luck
