Hi there
Girlfriend has a Redmi 3. Tried to unlock it moooonths ago but never got the code from Xiaomi (tried 2 times to do the proper process, no luck).
She was happy enough with the Global ROM, though, so just let it be.
Recently she's been complaining about a few things, and turns out her phone is still stuck on the 7.1.3.0.
Pressing "Check for Updates" has no result (the button grays out to "Checking..." but then goes back to normal). Just keeps showing "No updates available".
Tried the ROM from the official page (http://en.miui.com/download-298.html as far as I can see), and followed the Flashing guide (http://en.miui.com/a-232.html)
I go to "Choose update package", select the zip file, the screen changes to "Getting info..." and then just crashes to the launcher, nothing happens.
Anyone has any ideas on how to solve this and update her phone to the latest stable ROM?
(would love to just get it unlocked and install CM but nothing I can do without the Unlock code!)
Thanks for any help!

My Redmi 3 IDO is stuck at the startup, system process failed ;(
Sometimes it starts up after +-2 hours... today it started, I immediately went to factory reset, but nothing happened when I pushed the button...
Then I tried to install TRWP & Kingroot to root my device, but this process hangs too, I immediately get into the lock screen and touch screen doesn't work.
I had put some roms, TRWP on my SD Card to flash asap, but I cannot get to flash...
Then I installed MiPCSuite (adb drivers installed on pc), but no device found.
I also installed XiaMiFlash on my pc and tried to flash a TRWP or Rom from there, but immediately fail.
I guess that original bootloader from Xiaomi is protected or something.
How can I get over this, so that I can install a new bootloader from where I can flash customised roms ?
Don't know what to do now, flash from pc,...
Touchscreen doesn't work, it starts up in lock screen and the light goes out faster than usual.
Today it booted up once, I had turned of the lock screen, but now it is on again...
I can only put my phone in download or recover mode with that built in Chinese bootloader, but don't know if I can do something from there.
I also tried to boot without SD/Sim card so that i'm sure that nothing blocks it, but this didn't help.
I guess I used too much apps & cleaners....
Maybe i'm lucky and it will boot after 2-3 hrs, but still when i'm in my device, nothing seems to work, this really sucks
Letting the battery run out and wait a few days to turn it on won't help probably...
Theres a lot of factors to determine in this case, first of all, is it a Snapdragon model (kate/kenzo) or a Mediatek(henessy)?, what version of MIUI are you using?, and most importantly, what did you do to get the phone in that state?
But in your case the most reasonable solution is put the phone on EDL mode and flash it using MIFlash, that software is used only for flashing an original MIUI Rom, you cant install TWRP or any other rom.
Yes it's a snapdragon (also tested it with an app), it's the IDO version (Redmi Note 3 international version).
The Miui is still the original version 7.
Actually I didn't nothing special that the phone got in that state, I think I just installed too many apps which resulted in a conflict that the proces system doesn't react and hangs at startup.
It's also strange that fastboot mode does nothing, it just shows the animated figures...
I will bootup in EDL download mode and try to flash the stock rom, the only thing is that I don't know which one.
My version is the IDO version, it's not in this list, I'll try the Kenzo.

Cannot receive hello packet error and it stops flashing... strange

Kenzo is codename for Redmi Note 3 and Kate is for Redmi Note 3 Special Edition (International version). Ido codename is for Redmi 3 (http://en.miui.com/download-298.html). Here is URL to Redmi 3's forum: https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-3
Thanks, it wasn't necessary anymore, while driving from work and waiting a few hours it suddenly started up and I quickly reseted to factory settings

Hello,
I can't make the updates of my Mi A1, everything stops at the beggining of the installation and the message "Installation problem" appears.
I have successfuly installed the GCAM MOD with this tutorial : https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/how-to/tool-google-camera-root-magisk-enable-t3747585
Maybe I have made a mistake ? In case I clicked the "Swipe to allow modifications" button in TWRP, what should I do .?
I fully formatted my phone but the updates still don't work
Thanks

Hi, mine is Redmi 5 plus and I have the same problem. I even changed the screen and it weirdly worked fine for a few days but then went back to freezing after a few minutes of use.
Hi, I've wanted to install ubuntu touch on my xiaomi redmi note 9s, which runs android 12 with miui 14.
But, since I've started to try, I always have seemed to run into the same problem : once I start the installation, it gets stuck very long on the "formating cache" screen, and it doesn't seem to want to move.
As said in the title, my device is a custana one, so it runs on GLOBAL software, and I don't know if that can affect something, as it isn't very clear if it only works on india one or if it can work on global.
Thank you in advance for your tips !
