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.

So I flashed the first chinese CM13 build with fingerprint when there was no information about locking bootloader and about making a backup to restore, so I want to go back to MIUI but I don't have any backup to retore so I don't know how to do it, If anyone could tell me and the rest of the people that have done the same as me it would be so thankful.

just go to bootloader unlocked tutorial[not by mi provided offical tool] and flashed miui
First off, this is not the right forum to ask this questions. Second, if you didn’t make EFS backup I don’t think you can make phone calls, send/receive texts or use mobile data in the official MIUI any longer (someone correct me if I am wrong). You can either try a leaked and unstable MIUI (search for it in the forums) or use some new ROM with fingerprint support on this forum (Santhosh’s CM13, ROMs by Siddhesh.K15 and some others). If you are determined to use MIUI you will have to wait until Xiaomi releases an official marshmallow version.

Hmm... Not sure exactly what tutorial @sankhauaa is referring to, but if you just flash any official fastboot, you’ll be fine. Of course in order to restore phone features you will have to install TWRP.
I hardbricked the phone after installing cm13, boot edl and flash fastboot rom, this is the way i've used and phone booted

For revert back to miui follow thishttp://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/unlock-bootloader-twrp-root-7-2-3-t3359492
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...

So that you would never face problems in future.
Hey guys! I just recently got my Mido and It has been updated to the latest Global Stable rom. I tried to unlock my bootloader but I'm getting the message that binding time is too short and I need to wait up to 68 hours. That's not a problem. I can wait. But I just have a one quick question though. Can I go and flash the latest Global Developer rom thru fastboot mode with the MiFlash Tool which has been updated to the Android version N without unlocking my bootloader? Or can I flash the latest Global Developer rom thru the Updater app with my bootloader still lock? I hope someone can help me out. I can wait for 68 hours, but I just can't sit and do nothing while waiting. Thank you guys!

Nope. To go to developer roms you need an unlocked BL.
Don't listen to them.
If you are on global stable you can flash global developer with a locked bootloader.
You should flash 7.2.16 first because you won't be able to flash never ones first. Download the recovery version and flash it through the updater app from within miui.
Be careful tho because this WILL wipe your internal storage.
After you installed 7.2.16 use the updater app to download the newest 7.7.6 rom and you are all set.

Hey mate! I really appreciate your info.. I tried to do this.. I was almost there, just a click away of being able to switch to global developer rom. But I accidentally clicked on Cancel instead of the Erase and Proceed to update button on the updater app. So I tried it again, but it doesn't give me that option anymore to flash it, the next thing I know it keeps saying I cannot upgrade from an unofficial rom package. I am so stupid. I missed my only chance of beinh able to switch to developer rom. I even tried doing a factory reset but still it's telling me the same error. Is there anyway I can get that option again? Coz at the first attemp, it even prompts me of decryption.. but now no more. Just can't update with 7.2.16 because it is from an unofficial rom package.

Mate please read my previous reply. You might be able to help me out. Apart from 7.2.16 is there any other rom that I can try to be able to switch to developer rom? I never imagine it's gonna be this hard. I had 4 xiaomi devices already before this. I can't believe Xiaomi is gonna make this very very hard as time goes by.
Clean cache of the updater app, close it and thentry again to flash the rom.
This is the one because it's based on Android 6. That's why you can flash it and then update to 7 via the updater app on the phone itself.
I don't know why I saw everywhere that, to update from 10.0.3.0 Global Stable to Beta 8.10.25, you could only do with unlocked BL (even using XiaoMiTool it says that).
This is because I can say that I was able to do the update, not via OTA (it fails with an error message explained below) or via EDL, but via other method with a locked BL, no root and no custom recovery. To clarify, I'm using a Global Version of the Mi 8, with the Chinese Version i'ts probably not possible but I'm not sure since I did not test it, but from what I read it's not safe.
So here's what I did:
I used Xiaomi ADB: ht tp://ww w.xiaomit ool.co m/adb (just aggregate to make a link, I can't post links yet), and just install and follow the steps on the site and you are good to go
In the process, the first time it logged an error on the console that already happened when I tried to update via OTA updater (something like "Your android version is different from the current one and bla bla bla...") but right in the next attempt was successfull (the attempts are done automatically). Also, nothing was erased during the process, all data was kept which is nice
Link for the ROM: htt p://bigo ta.d.miui.co m/8.10.25/miui_M I8Global_8.10.25_f598e a6e8b_9.0.zip (no spaces ofc)

although you have successfully do it., it was still a very risky move. If you brick the phone with bootloader locked, it will be very troublesome procedure afterwards.

If you bricked your phone with Locked BL , you may not be able to revive it thru flashing since it may not allow flashing other firmware or recovery like TWRP. Also, ARB may brick your phone if you flashed old version.

I flashed to a newer version ofc (even so because it's from Android 8.1 to 9) and you are always allowed to flash and official ROM, even if everything goes wrong, flash back to the Global stable. The tool also notifies and doesn't proceed to flash the ROM if all attempts are tried and unsuccessful.
With things like custom recoveries is where you brick your phones, cause people either don't download and official ROM or something goes wrong and with unlocked BL you're getting screwed...

I don't know. Maybe on the front camera it's better stabilized for photos but other than that I don't notice anything special.

I don't know then. Maybe if you try one more time. I don't think it will brick anyways because if the process fails, then the command line of the tool will say it can't do it and will not flash, at least afaic.

Hello, I'm about to buy this phone from tradingshenzen and i have question for you, does anybody successfully rooted this device? I'm planning to unlock bootloader there to install xiaomi.eu and root it, without root it's hard to use device personally for me. Is root possible for today? How long we have to wait to unlock bootloader? 72h or 8days? And when twrp will be available does flashing it delete user data? Thanks for replies
my unlock wait time is 7 days, flashed to EU developer weekly rom and rooted it with magisk patched boot image. did not manage to flash unofficial TWRP though always endup in with recovery_a partition not found. guess that have to wait till official TWRP is out.

Since the Mi Mix 4 is an A/B-Device, you will never ever find a recovery-partition.

Well aware that the device is an A/B, no recovery partition. There is report of user success fully flashing unofficial TWRP using some Chinese tool (yet to find that tool). Maybe that tool flashes the recovery to the inactive boot partition.
I use to use the Mi9 which is an A/B device which I am able to flash TWRP.

Hello, I'm about to buy this phone from tradingshenzen and i have question for you, does anybody successfully rooted this device? I'm planning to unlock bootloader there to install xiaomi.eu and root it, without root it's hard to use device personally for me. Is root possible for today? How long we have to wait to unlock bootloader? 72h or 8days? And when twrp will be available does flashing it delete user data? Thanks for replies

Don't they offer to ship it with Xiaomi.eu installed on it already?
Yes, they do however you need to pay for it and wait another two weeks (roughly).
Regards'
I bought version with CN system and unlocked, rooted and installed Xiaomi.eu by myself, it's quite easy, i prefered to get phone and start using it earlier even with cn miui
