Hi,
is it possible to unofficially unlock the bootloader of a Kate device?
Greetings

Just use the official (en.miui.com/unlock) or unofficial (http://en.miui.com/thread-345728-1-1.html) method.
Running CM13 since some days without any problems, anything work perfect. (use kenzo CM13 Version and flash modem from original MIUI rom)

Well, the official method doesn't work for me.
Cannot Verify Error. Account Info different on device.

I found this guide to be much more comprehensible than the one in the Xiaomi Forum:

Please consider booting into MIUI once after unlocking and before installing a custom rom, to avoid the storage problem I'm having right now

So i just unlocked my bootloader officially, i had a question on TWRP and root. im on the SD version RN3
Which is the best TWRP to flash ? The official 3.0.2 or the modified Cofface 3.0.0
If i use the Cofface one , the latest do i still need to use the universal boot patcher ? ( i only intend to stick to xiaomi roms, mostly china or global dev or the xiaomi.eu roms)
I will then flash supersu to root
To update each rom OTA , i will need to unroot , flash OTA via updater app or via normal update received from OS , then flash supersu again?
Many guides state that if u use the latest Cofface one nothing else is needed when flashing miui based roms, some say the universal flasher is needed, hence was confused n thought id ask here.

I think best choice is cofface twrp in your situation
Nothing is needed when you flash miui based roms because you unlocked officially. Universal boot patcher is for people who unlocked unofficially
Hello,
I have received of this particular Redmi Note 3 Pro Prime Special Edition (3GB Ram one).
It comes with MIUI Global 7.3 Stable 7.3.7.0 (MHRMIDE).
Now I see there are so many different guides and version and I would like to confirm before proceeding.
Essentially I want to unlock the bootloader and install custom roms (CM).
What is the best way to proceed?
Install Developer Edition (miui_HMNote3ProtwGlobal_6.9.29_f35a25dd3f_6.0) downloaded from http://en.miui.com/a-232.html ?
I am planning to do it via Updater application from the phone.
Have made a request via website for unlocking the bootloader. Anything else I need to do?
Thanks
Almost everything same with kenzo (RMN3 Snapdragon).

make sure you are signed into both i.mi.com and your phone using the exact same credentials.
I've unlocked mine probably a dozen times now, with some rom's locking and me reflashing over and over again. No issues, never got stuck at 50%. I've only ever used my email account to link to Mi account, never my phone number.
Hi Devs,
I have tried to unlock bootloader [SD] by Mi Official method but got no success. :crying:
Always stuck at 50%.
I am wondering if the BL is unlocked via an unofficial way then can I flash AOSP based roms right away.
If yes, kindly suggest a way to unlock BL because I came across with so many threads each is somewhat different.
I have changed MIUI roms to try my luck say global -> global beta -> (soft brick) -> china beta.
Got confused, currently I am on China Dev Rom.
My Understanding till now ---
1. Unlock BL
2. FLash TWRP
3. Wipe All
4. Flash CM firmware -> Flash AOSP rom
5. Success...:silly:
Kindly guide if anyone had done this before.
i was having something similar to you.
i wanted to flash cyanogen roms but i didnt waited until i get the unlocker code from xiaomi.
i followed this tutorial
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/method-to-flash-twrp-recovery-unlock-t3473294
it makes you flash a dev/beta global miui rom (i suggest you 6.9.29) with a custom recovery (you delete the stock recovery and replace it with a custom one like aika recovery or zcx recovery). then use the app miflash (latest version support windows 32 &64 bit, olders ones only 64 bit) to flash the entire miui rom.
When you finished you will have a miui rom with custom twrp. Then you boot to recovery (dont let the phone boot to system) and twrp will overwrite stock recovery) then you reboot to system and there you go. You will have miui and a fully working custom recovery (there you can flash supersu, cyanogen roms, xposed, and every other zip you want)

I have gone through full thread. https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/method-to-flash-twrp-recovery-unlock-t3473294
For some it works, but no one has widely used it to flash custom kernal or rom. All again stayed on MiUI.
It seems that nobody is quite clear about how this stuff works because members have asked questions like
How would official TWRP boot on locked BL
Working of Custom kernals
Modified BLs
I am planning to flash Unofficial LineageOS 7.1.1 or RR.
kindly confirm If you did this on Kenzo itself with some custom kernal and rom.

I did. After i flashed dev 6.9.29 miui rom with zxc twrp i flashed rr 5.8.0 (Android 7.1) with cm14 firmware, gapps and custom kernel (radon 3.5).
Not a single problem. Try it

I did it with Kate. The only difference is that i change "cm14 firmware" to put Kate módem (original cm14 firmware has kenzo modem).
You are missing drivers on PC thats why you are getting 50% error... Sign in i.mi and locate...install MiFlash on PC 64bit, win7+, if you are on china dev ->turn on usb debbugging-> boot in fastboot mode,use original cable run MiUnlock and unlock, it will work 100%. I have unlocked BL so many times on different computers...and it always worked...if done all right

Hi Denis, I have installed MIPcSuite. I think it contains all drivers for our device.
Further drivers from MIFlash tool are also present in my PC.
If you have a specific version kindly tell me.
Say ver of - MiFlash , China Dev or Global Dev , MiUnlock.
off course I am using Mi Cable shipped with device.
@BraianV - I have flashed Lineage. Votle Issues. :good:Hitted Thanks for help.
Hi people,
I downloaded few week ago the Cyanogenmod 14.1 (cm-14.1-20161225-NIGHTLY-kenzo) and I see that a linage version was release also (lineage-14.1-20170207-nightly-kenzo-signed.zip) So which one to choose ?
reassure me, both are coming without gapps ?
Did I should flash this firmware before ? https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/cm14-14-1-aosp-n-firmware-kenzo-kate-t3507789
Thank you.
LOS. CM is "dead".
Neither come with Google apps so you'll need to flash them if you want them.
You don't need to flash firmware if you're coming from the latest MIUI. It doesn't harm anything if you do though.
Thank you @theoneofgod :good:
did you have a page how describe how to install the liange os Trough TWRP ZCX ?
Thank's
You can flash TWRP using this method, it won't require you to unlock the bootloader either.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/method-to-flash-twrp-recovery-unlock-t3473294
From there, flash LOS.
I apologize if I ask something very basic, but I have not used MIUI for a long time ... If I install a custom MIUI 10 ROM like Globe ROM, Epic Rom or EU, will I be able to return without problems to AOSP ROMS? I read that xiaomi blocked the rollbacks ... For root, Magisk 17? Xposed works fine?
Last question, which one of those ROMS do you recommend?
Thank you very much.
For roll-back, AFAIK, there is not arb implemented in Redmi note 4,so yes you can go back to aosp's and can root via magisk also.
Search anti-roll back nd follow the procedure
