Do I have to flash China developer ROM before unlocking the bootloader officially through the MIUI update? Can use the latest stable global to unlock?
And will unlocking the bootloader with the official method erase all data? (Factory reset)
Thanks.
(I have already got the sms with unlocking, only waiting for these two information before unlocking)
I was officially unlocked bootloader with global dev rom.

You will get approval sms then install Mi Unlock Tool on PC. Connect mobile in fastboot mode. You can go to fastboot mode by pressing volume down + power button. And then click on unlock button in Mi unlock Tool.

Tell them that your device got bootloop. They accept this reason. Or tell them you want to root your device. I also told I want to root my Redmi Note 3.

If u want to unlock by officia method then u ll have to wait till xiaomi servers are updated with ur info. U may have have to wait for 7-14 days after receiving unlock permissions. The time may vary. I myself got permission to unlock on 11th june and successful unlocked on 30th. U can try to contact xiaomi on miui forum... Or else unofficial method is available on xda by rajdip.
Login to micloud on your PC browser and flash dev ROM. It works. At least for me.

I had the same problem but after I flashed global developer ROM, it was done in seconds.
Make sure that oem unlocking and debugging is ON under developer options. Check if your phone is registered in your MI account. I think your sim card has to be inserted too.
Good luck

I don't know if installing xiaomi unified driver will do any difference but when I plug phone while in fastboot, windows shows xiaomi android interface. I installed this driver as unsigned and windows has to be in insecure mode. But again before you boot phone in fastboot, open mi account on your phone and check if phone is verified, must not be unknown.
I have Mi Max to and I unlocked it without any special driver or ROM and on 1st try but with Redmi note 3 SD took me several days.

[Snapdeggon Variant]
.
Hello, the unofficial method to unlock the bootloader given over at http://forum.miui.co.in/forum/mi-de...5165-redmi-note-3-snapdragon-unlock-the-beast is not working for me, no matter how many fastbboot ROMs I flash with Mi Flash Tool, or upgrade / downgrade using stock RECOVERY ZIP files.
Everytime same error, at fastbbot oem unlock-go it says "Invalid unlock token" or something like that.
.
I have already received confirmation sms for Official unlock, but that method not working, it is stuck at 50% and says "Please verify that same mi account should be logged in to device" or something like that.
.
Are these known issues already? And if yes, any other workarounds???
.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks a lot !!!
It is a common known issue. I unlocked by first bricking my phone by flashing MIUI rom when unofficially unlocked, then my phone unlocked using the miflash unlock tool. Alternatively you could flash the global dev or china dev rom in order to unlock

So which one should I go for now, china dev or stable?
And any other way to unlock??

First you have to switch to miui rom and relock your bootloader . Then pray that you don't get stuck at 50 % .
I got the permission to unlock bootloader two weeks ago but stuck at 50% .
I flashed every rom be it global stable or Dev , china stable and dev and that too every previous version of MIUI (Wasted so much of data) but to no avail .
Finally I unlocked the bootloader unofficially .
Xiaomi is ****ing lazy to update our account on there server....
So doesn't matter what rom you install you have to wait atleast a week to unlock

Yep did it with two devices after a week of confirmation sms . No trying in between so lets say after you have flashed global give it a go if it doesn't happen then do not try in between and try after straight 7 days .

1. You need a developer ROM version for unlocking the bootloader officially.
2. According to Mi Unlock Policy, you can use the permission for one month before it runs invalid. If it runs invalid, you need to re-apply for the permission, then unlock the bootloader.

I've applied for unlocking months ago and i can unlock the bl anytime i want just be careful that it requires a sms verification code when changing computers, so keep your phone working while you do that, or Mi Flash won't work.
Afaik, it doesn't require any special things for unlocking the bl, it will work no matter what you have installed on it, goos luck unlocking.

Guys, it has been said many times...
Only for the first time unlocking you might need to flash china/global dev to unlock it via fastboot.
To do that, simply boot in fastboot, boot in EDL, flash with MiFlash latest china dev fastboot ROM, flash zcx TWRP and then you can flash whatever you want, if BL gets locked anytime again while flashing (phone will blink and turn off), just boot in fastboot (only thing you can do at that point), run MiFlashUnlock, sign in, unlock, reboot)
Thats it, couldnt be more simple

No, you do not need developer rom afaik to unlock the bootloader, probably he just meant that you have to enable usb debugging from developer settings, that's a must.
---------- Post added at 09:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:15 PM ----------
Just try unlocking it with mi flash and see if anythinf goes wrong thru the process, you simply cannot screw the device with anything by doing that, if anything goes wrong and you can't unlock the device post it here so we can help you forward with the process, good luck.

Guys, does all this applies the same to the "Kate" Version ? Basically just as a reference also i have a Redmi note 3 pro Special edition (international/global), running android v6.0.1 MMB29M, Security Patch 2016-11-01, MIUI Global 8.1 Stable 8.1.1.0 (MHRMIDI).....any advice please !
This applies to any xiaomi phone ;
By permission i understand unlocking approval, yes, go to xiaomi unlock and apply for unlocking and when you get the rights to unlock ( i hadn't recieved any kind of email, i just checked by practice ) go and do it.
I just brought a Redmi Note 4 Indian Snapdragon version (4/64 GB variant). I want to flash custom rom. But I just don't know the process to do that. Is it necessary to Unlockbootloader and root the device before flashing a custom rom?? If no then what is the purpose of unlocking boot loader?
And additionally I want to know that flashing custom recovery void the warranty of Redmi devices?
Thanks in advance

Unlocked bootloader is must and should if you wanna install custom recovery / rom.
There are guides about unlocking bootloader, check again and apply for permissions.
Nope, rooting, flashing custom recovery and unlocking bootloader doesn't void warranty on mi devices.

The flashing tool doesn't Unlock the boot loader. It Verify the device and failed at unlocking. (Error at 99%) It says Current Account is not bound to this device in the "settings> Developer Options> Mi unlock states "
I've tried various forum to unlock it. But nothing works. Tried to click "Add account to device" in developer options. It shows me an error 86012 (and some chinese text) What do I do now????
