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

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.
Hey there!
I'm using the Redmi Note 3 Pro for a few months now with CM. Since CM is a bit buggy for me and I would love to try out the new MIUI 8, most preferred the official global release.
But unfortunately I'm struggling, nearly fighting , with my device for a few days now. Problem is that I can't get anything to work properly on my device.
Here is what I did (Phone is of course offically unlocked) :
Downloaded the latest MIUI 8 global from the official site. First mistake was to take the wrong version. I allways thought that my device is a kenzo. But it's a kate. OK, so I tried to use the global version for the special edition. When I flash the zip via TWRP everything seems to go normal but in the end the process stops at "package_extract_file took 00s". I let the flash process run over night, so there is definitely a freeze at that point. This step stayed for over 8 hours.
Strange thing here is that the process looks exactly the same, regardless what image (kenzo or kate) I choose.
After the TWRP attempt I tried to flash the fastboot image via MiFlash. Here is the problem a different one: MiFlash won't allow kenzo images. So far so good. But when I take the kate fastboot image the process fails when flashing system.img (file too large). I found out that using a custom rom like CM changes the system-partition size (system1 and system2 merged to system?) for more space. But I don't know how to fix that.
Now I'm pretty clueless and not sure what to do. Is there a way to get MIUI running or am I forced to use CM? What can I do? I am very thankful for every hint or advice you can give me. Thank you!
Have u ever tried using edl mode ?
No, edl mode is new to me.
Try flashing the Fastboot ROM uisng Mi Flash Tools with your phone in EDL Mode.
See this.

Hi everyone, im new to XDA. But that's kinda beside the point.
I have a Redmi Note 3 with Snapdragon 650 and 2gb ram 16gb storage. I wanted to install lineage os/R.remix because im kinda bored of miui and wanted nougat. I did the following steps to install.
1. Unlocked bootloader via no-permission or hack method.
2. Installed TWRP latest as of 10-6-2017 thru Fastboot.
3. Wiped cache,dalvik and data
4. Flashed R.Remix nightly 10-6-17 and then Gapps.
In this step, I had a problem. It was giving me error:7 (xiaomi.verify.modem) and so I modded the rom (updater-script) and worked. It had the animation loop soflashed NON-HLOS modem binary thru Fastboot and flashed the original signed ROM. But, the problem persists. It's stuck in the boot animation and looping infinitely. I left it for 30min-1hr and still loops. What do I do now? Please help me in this regard. Till then, MIUI again

Don't flash that miui firmware from post above, it will relock your bootloader because you are not officially unlocked.
Best way to go is to flash latest global dev fastboot rom, unlock officially. This way you will have no problems with flashing nougat custom roms.
So, should I install the latest global developer rom? I checked yesterday it was v7.6.7 while latest global stable was 8.2.4 which I have currently installed. I also checked via fastboot OEM device-info and, yeah, bootloader locked.:crying: So, I should install the dev. Rom and ask for permission and then unlock, like, the official way? I'm waiting for the reply. Make it clear and I'll try it. Thnx.
Edit : I also somehow got TWRP uninstalled:crying::crying: I don't know if this unexpected or was doomed to happen but yeah, again, just saying.
I just asked for permissions to unlock and..... Surprise!!! I got the permission in 5 minutes!!!
I feel kinda sad for the people who are waiting for more than 21 days...

This MI Flash gets stuck at 99% even tho I got permissions (an SMS from MI) and shows current account not bound to device. What do I do? I also tried binding my account to phone by settings-->dev. options-->mi unlock which gave code 86012 and some Chinese characters which I honestly can't understand. I also tried installing global dev and doing the same thing but gives same 86012 and Chinese. Plzz help me in this regard. Would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Actually, nvm. I got lineage is installed and running on my phone by following a guide on how to install twrp without unlocking bootloader. Worked like a charm for me. I'm typing this now on lineage:silly: Anyways, thanks for the effort. Thread closed.
You could've just waited for 7 days and you would've unlocked your bootloader officially
how did it go buddy ?

Hello from Australia,
I recently purchased the Redmi Note 4 (Global) and absolutely love it! After owning iPhone for the last 8 yrs I am finding it very refreshing. I am looking forward to being part of this Android community
My questions is this - I am very keen on rooting the device but have also found that there is a pending update to 8.5.4.0 (Miui) and 7.0 (Nougat). Will I still be able to root it after I update and if so where is the best guide for me to do this?
Many thanks

yes, you can root it after updating to 7.0. First unlock bootloder. Install twrp recovery. and then flash SuperSu zip.
Note-Dont forget to flash lazyflasher-no-verify-opt zip after flashing twrp or you would go into bootloop.

Do you think this is the right steps for me to follow? also, I have never flashed or tweaked an Android phone so don't know how to do the flashing of lazyflasher-no-verify-opt zip. I don't see that in the steps. How exactly do I do that? Do you have a link?

steps given in the guide are almost correct.First unlock bootloader which is the biggest hassle in whole process. Probably you wont be able unlock bootloader in first few tries as mi unlock tool will probably stuck at 99% and show error "account not binded to device".You can wait a few days and try again but i dont think that will work. To solve this problem what i did was-
download miui developer rom version 7.2.16 link-http://bigota.d.miui.com/7.2.16/miui_HMNote4XGlobal_7.2.16_e6eed016d8_6.0.zip
Now go to updater app choose downloaded zip as update package. Now updater would start decrypting it and your phone will be updated to developer rom. Now when on developer rom go to updater app and there will be an ota for latest version, update.Now when on latest developer version try to unlock again using mi unlock tool. I dont know if it will work for you but it worked for me.
Now your bootloader is unlocked, go to mido section in xda forums and download twrp for redmi note 4. To flash twrp recovery, there are many ways. process given in your guide may also work.But what I did was downloaded "mini flasher" link-"https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=25193&task=get" install mini flasher.choose install twrp, browse to the recovery image you downloaded and it will automatically flash it and reboot your phone to recovery.
Now when your phone is in recovery mode coose 'install'
choose the lazyflasher zip file you earlier downloaded. now reboot. again go to recovery install SuperSu zip file(link given your guide) reboot. your phone will probably bootloop one time but dont worry it is fine. now when your phone reboots it is rooted.
Well I sucessfully updated the phone to Nougat and it was very easy.
Now I have tried to unlock the bootloader but keep getting this message:
您所在的IP申请次数超标
I have googled it and it says I have tried too many times from my IP address. But I haven't - this was the first time. I have tried 3 times, with the same result.
Does anyone know how to get around this problem?
Thanks
The nougat update eats to much ram I got only 1.3 GB free ram
You could try Miui 9 beta channel after miui 8.5 update without unlocking or rooting. Just had to download the miui 9 recovery rom package. Place it in folder named downloaded-rom. Backup your imp data before proceeding. Goto the updater app or settings about, tap three dot menu. Choose update and select the downloaded file. It will erase all your data and update to miui 9.
They release updates weekly. And battery backup is outstanding.

Anyone able to help with this? I have read it is a common issue for it to incorrectly say you have had too many attempts but not really any conclusive answer as to how to get around the problem.
I am really keen on unlocking my bootloader. Thanks in advance.
Something really weird happened while I was installing roms. Someone how my OEM got locked and I flashed and voila stuck on the oneplus logo. I have my fastboot working properly also got twrp installed. The thing is that my bootloader is locked so i cant flash and I cant unlock bootloader because I cant flash and set oem unlock. I know this is ****ed up and also my volume up key is not working so we have to work without that. . Whenevr i turn on the device the powered by android quickly disappears and i am in the fastboot. If I do oem unlock it sends me to the recovery. I am not sure why i can't OEM unlock in fastboot. I don't care about data and stuff. Just want the phone working. The unbrick guide wants me to press the volume up key to get to the qualcomm flashing. Unfortunately i can't do that. Need of dire help please ;_;
I kind of have the same problem as of 2 days (see https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/bricked-oneplus-x-unlock-bootloader-t3816387), which is kind of strange, as I haven't read anywhere else about it on the internet.
I'll be following this topic.

I've solved it bud. IF you have a working recovery and bootloader. Flash the stock OS. It'll flash even though the bootloader is locked and then your can oem unlock and do whatever.

Thank you. I've tried it, but the problem is that I'm stuck with the Oneplus recovery, as I've mentioned in my post. From there, I have 2 options to flash:
1) from internal memory. When I click this, nothing happens (no new screen or anything, nothing)
2) from USB (adb sideload). When I try to sideload the ROM using this option, it starts promising, but after a few seconds, it just says 'Installation failed' without any reason why. Just like for all other ROMS.
So... No progress here. I've also tried to flash the stock recovery (even though it should be on my phone already, maybe another version) using fastboot, but my OPX won't take it because the bootloader is still locked.
Last resort: I'll try the Oneplus live chat tomorrow, but I do not expect any useful information from that...

Well guess what, they could solve it.
Or at least partly. It appears that Oneplus has an updated version of the tool used in the mega unbrick guide: MSMDownloadTool V2.1 instead of V2.0. This tool did it's job perfectly, OOS was also installed, in contrast to V2.0 of the tool. I ****ed it up again after that (oops), but found the tool V2.1 online here (https://github.com/finlayacourt/Oneplus-X-Recovery). Some files are missing here like the system.img, but I just copied them from the folder of tool V2.0 found in the mega unbrick guide. It didn't work as perfectly as Oneplus's tool, but at least I was able to install OOS from the Oneplus bootloader, which I wasn't able to before. So knowing that, in the end, the result is the same as for their tool. A working OS again, perfect! So now I can unlock the bootloader again and continue the adventure.
Now, what I've found is that the mainboard I have on my OPX is a newer version (if you search on Google for 'oneplus E1003_15', you'll find some things about it, not much though). I'm 99% positive that this caused all the problems I've encountered. It is why TWRP couldn't see any storage, why the stock Oneplus recovery couldn't see any storage, why the tool V2.0 didn't work and why V2.1 did work. If I wanted a working TWRP, I had to install a modified version of TWRP which is compatible with the newer version, from here: https://www.android-hilfe.de/forum/...-1-oreo-rom-unofficial-onyx-8-1-x.867374.html (yes, once you're relying on German sites, you know you went very deep). After that, I could install LineageOS 14.1 again. I was unable to install the unofficial LineageOS 15.1 however, but knowing where I came from, what I've gone through and how much time I've lost on all of this, I think I'll just stick with LineageOS 14.1 until this baby can retire...
Got to say I only have very positive experiences with Oneplus and it's customer support, and this only adds to it!
