Help rooting Redmi 3S - Xiaomi Redmi 3 Questions & Answers

I just bought a Redmi 3S and I am not fond of the software. So I want to root it and put CM on it.
So I am trying to do like this guy: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66990194&postcount=36
but I cannot get the USB / adb to work. When I connect it to my computer a folder called "RedmI 3S" pops up but I cannot copy any files to it and I cannot see the device from adb. I tried to install the Mi PC suite but it says to update my device before connecting (which seems to be a bug in the suite: http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=96111&highlight=update+your+device+before+connecting)
I tried to click settings->about phone->build no 7 times but cannot get it into developer mode
So, can anyone please give me a step by step guide on how to root my Redmi 3S?

...and just after posting I found a tutorial on youtube
But now I am stuck on flashing twrp. It says:
fastboot.exe flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-0-ido.img
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'recovery' (13934 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.440s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: Partition flashing is not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.447s
So now my question is: how do I allow flashing?

I guess I need to unlock the device. Have created a MUI account and logged in to:
http://en.miui.com/unlock/
but everything is in chinese... Any suggestions?

Found an english page and logged in. Went back to the unlock page and requested permission to unlock my phone. Now I have to wait for 10 days for them to reply...
Others who wants to root their Redmi 3 may want to look at these videos to unlock and root:

Do you know how to unbrick it?
i followed this thred worked for me, only spanish firmware sorry
movilesdualsim.com/tema/huawei-y330-u01-descarga-y-tutorial-instalacion.79190
Any movement on this? anyone find a working custom rom for this p.o.s.
Found working ROMs for this phone (Y330-U01 model). Some of the pages are in italian, but I managed to follow it with Google Translate. The italian forum requires registration. Rom itself has many languages presumably all that are in stock, English included.
Do any of this on your own responsibility, if something goes wrong it's not my fault. It worked for me on UK bought Y330-U01.
You might want to make copy of stock HwSettings.apk and HwSettings.odex - I needed to replace those for the 2nd rom as the included one was crashing now and then. Your mileage might vary.
Since it's my 1st post I can't post links, the links to tutorials and roms are at:
pastebin <dot> com <slash> Z8faVVe8
Notes from my experiences with installation:
for material themed rom: I had to replace HwSettings.apk and HwSettings.odex with ones from stock rom as the included crashed every now and then.
Xposed installation:
The material themed one includes Xposed by default (the theming is done via MonsterUI module) but it's old version so you might want to upgrade. If you just install newest Xposed (I use 2.7 experimental1) the theming will not work due to some bs around stock theme engine or whatnot. To make it work edit the phone's build.prop and set ro.config.hwtheme to 0, reboot phone.
Enjoy.

Thx man, I am checking your instructions right now, here the pastebin link since you can't post links. Btw the forum (phonenandroid) you mentioned is in French (not Italian). I'm posting for convenience the links you shared on pastebin:
stock UK rom (takes forever to download, but handy if you brick the phone)

Feel free to share more info about your experience. There is actually almost no custom rom for the Huawei Ascend Y330 so it's really important to share as much as you can. Thanks again & cheers.
I'm following the tutorial: https://www.dc-unlocker.com/free-huawei-bootloader-unlock-tutorial
I'm blocked here:
Turn off phone. Press "Volume down", "Volume up" and "Power" buttons. Hold them pressed for 5 seconds. Phone screen should become purple/pink. Connect phone to computer using USB cable
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If I press voume down + voume up + power, my phone goes in recovery mode. It doesn't turn pink. If I press just volume down + power it goes into fastboot.
How the heck do I turn it pink as in the tutorial?
Or maybe if I see a recovery screen, it means my bootloader is already unlocked?
Hi,
thanks for linkifying my post. You're right it's in french not italian - pardon my ignorance. As for the step with the pink screen I didn't have pink screen either I think the point of the step is to get the phone to the unbooted state but accessible by adb so fastboot should do fine (I'm no expert though - I did many trial and errors on the steps due to the fact it was google translated, iirc vol up+power = recovery, vol down+power = fastboot - try both and whichever leads to successful next step was it (i think it's fastboot since the adb shell uses fastboot command to do stuff with bootloader in the guide)).
To check whether your bootloader is already unlocked do "fastboot oem get-bootinfo" (look at very last step from the dc-unlocker guide)
Sorry for not being any more helpful and good luck!

That French guy, Speedo4android is really damn cool! I'll thank him personally in French for this! And no sorry, I was just a bit puzzled looking around for Italian text and realized after a bit that maybe you just confused it with French, no big deal
vol down + power (fastboot) was the correct one.

Thanks very much for this command. I didn't know it! In my case it seems the adb/phone drivers were already installed as well as the adb tools. So I could issue (reposting for new users reading this) these commands:
Code:
fastboot devices
fastboot oem get-bootinfo
fastboot devices is the same as "adb devices". Just it lists devices (if connected) in fastboot mode. I could see my device. Issuing the second command showed me that the bootloader was already unlocked, so indeed no need to see the pink screen.
That said I proceeded to the tutorial to install the CWM recovery. It was a bit tricky to install the proper drivers. If somebody has problems with this, the answer is a google search to "adb drivers windows 8.1" (assuming one is using Windows 8.1, but I guess so) and find this: Fastboot Drivers Windows 8.1 [FIX] x64. To sum up, you have to allow Windows 8.1 to install unsigned drivers, like this:
DiogoCMartins said:
Press Windows Key + R (or go to Run)
Type “shutdown.exe /r /o /f /t 00″
Go to Troubleshoot –> Advanced options –> Start Up Settings –> Restart
After a computer soft reboot, hit Option 7 (Disable driver signature enforcement)
Restart your PC

That helped me a lot (other tutorials suggest point and click, I prefer one command via shutdown (with options)... as quoted above.
Tricky thing number 2 was to install the MTK Preloader Mediatek drivers for the device in fastboot mode. Check this out: HOW TO INSTALL MTK65XX PRELOADER USB VCOM DRIVERS IN WINDOWS

On the contrary, without your post I would have never be able to own this device, I almost lost hope when I read that no DEV is interested to create custom roms for this device... I was thinking it would be a pain to install CWM and in fact it was, but finally I got it! Maybe some DEVs will be interested to create more roms for this device... let's see. Thank you!
And thanks to Speedo4android for the hard work!
Speedo see you

I've tried to unlock the bootloader with the fastboot oem unlock UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU command, but this didn't worked. dc-unlocker didn't found the phone in fastboot mode. Does anyone have an idea.

try adb oem unlock UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU . it worked to me. i had the same problem like you.
After a day of messing around I got it to work.
I can't update the Xposed framework, says there's another app with the same name and same credentials or something.
Also: greenify keeps complaining that the auto-hibernation is not working, but I didn't inhibit it anywhere. Ideas?
The phone feels slightly hotter than before, but it's also very warm here anyway.
Thanks for all the tips and of course to Speedo
this allowed me to install and use Xposed 2.6..1:

Remove FRP lock with fastboot?

Hi all,
As a result of some attempts to restore stock rom for KIWI-UL00. I ended up in a pretty bad state :
1. The phone reboots perpetually.
2. Putting a 64gb sd card with stock rom gets the recovery to 5% and then phone gets into the reboots cycle. I actually do not know if the dload/UPDATE.APP is being picked up or the wrong boot flashed in is kicking in.
3. The phone is unlocked, but as a result of the flashing I got FRP lock??? Here is what I see in fastboot mode on the phone screen:
PHONE is Unlocked
FRP Lock
4. Any attempt to flash in a new BOOT, SYSTEM or RECOVERY with fastboot ends up with error:
./fastboot flash recovery ~/Downloads/split_updata.pl/kiw_ul00_B239_Unicom/RECOVERY.img
target reported max download size of 266338304 bytes
sending 'recovery' (55968 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.768s]
writing 'recovery'...
ERROR: usb_read failed with status e00002e8
FAILED (status read failed (Undefined error: 0))
finished. total time: 1.769s
My thinking is that FRP lock is causing denying fastboot, but have no idea how to remove it. Without being able to flash in the correct stock recovery, I don't think I will be able to install the stock rom ever.
There are a lot of stuff written about FRP lock out there, but they assume working phone. In my case, I only have access to fastboot, not even adb!
Any ideas appreciated,
Thanks.
But u still can get it into fastboot right? Isnt it possible to use adb then to root it and put twrp on it and after that put custom firmware on it to get it booted up properly again. And after that installing a stock image again?

fastboot has very limited capabilities (I guess because of the FRP lock?) Some commands work, like this:
./fastboot oem get-bootinfo
...
(bootloader) *******************************************
(bootloader) Bootloader Lock State: UNLOCKED
(bootloader) Root State: ROOT
(bootloader) Bootloader WidevineKey: WidevineKey_VALID
(bootloader) System State: Bootloader in UNLOCKED state
(bootloader) Bootloader Version: 001.001.000
(bootloader) *******************************************
OKAY [ 0.011s]
finished. total time: 0.011s
but other like erase or flash fail with the same error.
Do you know how to use ADB when the device is in fastboot mode? I currently get this:
./adb devices
List of devices attached
My thinking is that in order for DB to work the device need to be put in recovery mode, something I cannot achieve.
The only other mode i can put the phone in is by holding the UP and POWER it gets into something that has "eRecovery", but the rest is all in Chinese . There are 3 menus you can select with the volume and power (no screen touch). The first one leads to wifi discovery and but nothing after that. The other two top level menus lead to restart - again they are in Chinese, not sure what they do.

Isnt eRcovery from EMUI itself to save bricked phones? Like booting in new software or something? Maybe there are some video's about it on youtube???
I had some sort of the same issue but never had problems with frp lock before, i actually used a video from xda to get my honor 5x working again. I'll look for the link so you can see if the same steps work for you!

I saw the video, thanks. However, as you noticed in the video, not only phones boot ok, but when in fastboot mode, his phone reads:
Phone Unlocked
FRP Unlocked
When FRP is unlocked you can do all sorts of things with fastboot. I am not that lucky :crying:

relax buddy, try dload method with any other version of stock firmware,
and if it doesnt help,
first find a rollback update.app package for your particular variant, first flash it
then , go back to lollipop firmware with the same dload method,.
you should be booted to lollipop firmware,
than, go on to developer options and enable oem unlock option
start from there..

The problem is that the "dload/update.app on sdcard" method only works if the phone has stock recovery and I blew that one off.
In order to flash in the stock recovery, i need the FRP lock removed, otherwise fastboot gives me the above errors . See my problem?
the eRecovery seems more hopeful. But is all in Chinese. I got to the first step where it finds my wireless network. I put the password for the WIFI
and it starts doing omething, but fails with big red exclamation mark and tones of thing written in chinese...

I think I flashed in the wrong HUAWEI recovery image - I used the latest stock rom for KIWI-L24, but my phone is KIWI-UL00.
I would love to be able to put the right one in, but the FRP Lock issue is preventing me. I don't understand how can the phone be unlocked but have a FRP lock??? See the FASTBOOT commands I used in earlier in this thread.

FRP Lock occurs when the phone has a firmware mismatch and or oem unlocking is not on in developer options

2. Putting a 64gb sd card with stock rom gets the recovery to 5% and then phone gets into the reboots cycle. I actually do not know if the dload/UPDATE.APP is being picked up or the wrong boot flashed in is kicking in.
.[/QUOTE]
This part of your post makes it sound like at least one part of recovery is still functioning. (I think there are 2 recoveries on the 5x, but I don't know the details).
I also had the "stuck at 5%" problem when trying to use the "dload" method. Here was my experience:
1) Using 64gb SD card (Class 10 or something fancy)
I was never able to do a stock recovery. Despite many tries after reformatting the card, recovery process always terminated at approximately 5% ending in a reboot without applying the update (which in your case would probably be a bootloop since the existing system is bad).
2) Using 8gb SD card (An old card, class 2)
This worked the first time. I was literally about ready to throw this phone away and send an angry message to Honor, and only tried this out of desperation. I've used it multiple times since, and dload recovery always works with this card.
My conclusion was that this phone cannot seem to read all SD cards properly. I'm not sure if the problem is capacity (over 32gb??), speed class, or brand. Try another card and it may save you. To be safe, it's probably best to be a smaller size, lower speed class card.

2. Putting a 64gb sd card with stock rom gets the recovery to 5% and then phone gets into the reboots cycle. I actually do not know if the dload/UPDATE.APP is being picked up or the wrong boot flashed in is kicking in.

This part of your post makes it sound like at least one part of recovery is still functioning. (I think there are 2 recoveries on the 5x, but I don't know the details).
I also had the "stuck at 5%" problem when trying to use the "dload" method. Here was my experience:
1) Using 64gb SD card (Class 10 or something fancy)
I was never able to do a stock recovery. Despite many tries after reformatting the card, recovery process always terminated at approximately 5% ending in a reboot without applying the update (which in your case would probably be a bootloop since the existing system is bad).
2) Using 8gb SD card (An old card, class 2)
This worked the first time. I was literally about ready to throw this phone away and send an angry message to Honor, and only tried this out of desperation. I've used it multiple times since, and dload recovery always works with this card.
My conclusion was that this phone cannot seem to read all SD cards properly. I'm not sure if the problem is capacity (over 32gb??), speed class, or brand. Try another card and it may save you. To be safe, it's probably best to be a smaller size, lower speed class card.[/QUOTE]
this might be one of my chances.. i trieda 32gig card.. so ill try a 8gig.. if this works im gonna kiss all of you guys.. looking for a solution sincetwo days.. with a hour sleepbreak... thnks for the tip for themoment.

I am having the same problem (boot = unlocked, frp = lock) and here's what I get from those commands:
-----------------------
D:\_TEMP\Portables\ADB Tools>fastboot oem frp-unlock
...
FAILED (remote: oem_frp_check_password failed! Error = -1)
finished. total time: 0.013s
-----------------------
Whatever the FRP-Check Password is, I don't have it. I tried the OEM unlocker Code as well as the (former) google password (ok, just a stupid try).

Honor 9 Unlock bootloader problem

Trying to get AOSP running.
When trying to unlock the bootloader I get this error
./fastboot oem unlock ******************
...
FAILED (remote: check password failed!)
finished. total time: 0.039s
Anyone got any ideas of what it is?
Honor 9 STF-L09 C432
Running Oreo & EMUI 8
Running MacOS, have tried in bootcamp on Windows 10.
It shows up in fastboot devices, showed up in adb devices before booting into bootloader mode.
OEM unlocking is enabled.
USB debugging is enabled.
I emailed Huawei to check if my password was correct and they sent back the same password. I've emailed them again but haven't got much hope for it.
Any other information can be provided if needed.
Did you not switched 0 and O or 1 and I ?
Did you used funkyhuawei or dcunlock in the past ?

Huawuei Y6 II l_21 hard to root like the hell

Good morning,
I'm trying to root this Huawuei Y6 II 2017 l_21 factory resetted but it's becoming very very hard, cause i've try every single method and nothing work.
The device is debug USB and OEM unlocked, and even bootloader unlocked and FRP unlock.
I've installed USB drivers on my window 7 ( and some of them didn't install correctly ).
The device connected correctly to hi suite but it's full upgraded android 6 emui 4.1.x.x Kirin620
-I've tried kingoroot both pc and apk
-I've tried Manual rooting with mini adb and fastboot plus TWRP 3.0.2 of this guide ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/rooting-huawei-y6-ii-cam-l21-t3501162 ) and TWRP 3.1.1-0
but when i'm launching the command fastboot flash recovery TWRPxxx.img it gives me that:
target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes
sending 'recovery' (25152 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.736s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.743s
Actually i've asked for a new unlock bootloader code to huawuei, but i have even tried to get the code with dc-unlocker following this guide ( https://www.dc-unlocker.com/how-to-read-huawei-bootloader-unlock-code ) and even in this case my PC didn't find the mobile phone.
So Actually i have 2 major issues:
1) Why i got the error in ADB ?
2) why my pc even with USb drivers didn't find correctly the device in order to let dc unlocker find the bootloader code?
My objective is to root the Phone and recover deleted data by factory reset, but i don't know what to do now.
help!

This is weird to me, because the error message in fastboot it what you get when you've not unlocked the bootloader (allowed to read, not write).
And the fact that fastboot and ADB recognized your device means that on the USB drivers side, you've a correction set up...
So I'd say that the bootloader isn't unlock at first glance. And unfortunately I don't know any ways of unlocking Huawei phones now...
I didn't know DC unlocker and I can't certify if this software is legit or not, nor provide you help regarding the software.
So I don't think you'll be able to successfully root your device. But that's just what I think, maybe someone more experienced will find the solution.
Have a good day
Even if one finds a TWRP image that at 100% matches his/her device, it's not a good idea to flash it: instead boot into it
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
BTW: Doing so has the additional advantage that TWRP doesn't get detected.

V600TM Root/Unlocking Issues

Greetings all,
I am having trouble attempting to root or even unlock the bootloader on my V60 (LM-V600TM), Android V11. Many guides online seem to gloss over needing the bootloader unlocked before root. TMALSS; I'm not sure if the non-international version can be bootloader unlocked and/or if I can root without needing this. Long version of what I've tried is below:
When following this guide on xda using KDZ,
I am getting stuck at Section 11.1.2:
Code:
C:\adb-platform-tools>fastboot flash frp frp.img
Sending 'frp' (512 KB) FAILED (remote: 'Download is not allowed on locked devices')
fastboot: error: Command failed
Thus to unlock the bootloader, I am following a guide from TWRPupdate:
It says to perform 'adb reboot bootloader' and then 'fastboot oem device-id':
Code:
C:\adb-platform-tools>fastboot device-id
fastboot: usage: unknown command device-id
My phone only reboots into normal mode whenever running reboot bootloader command within ADB.
I can run fastboot commands when I run 'adb reboot fastmode' but I don't believe this is true fastmode. As I have tried everything mentioned here, such as cables or different computers. Essentially most fastboot commands I've tried do not work except for showing my device as listed / connected.
I have also tried the drivers from LG / Google / ADB separately. And on 2 computers.
Is it possible that I don't have rescue mode or a bootloader still? As I get a black screen when entering recovery mode (but my computer recognizes A device), but adb nor fastboot does. I used to see the recovery screen logo, but I stopped seeing this screen either after updating to Android V11 or reading/backing-up the partitions in QFIL.
In last resort, I have tried rooting via patching the boot image using Magisk v23. I downloaded the firmware for my carrier, converted the KDZ to DZ via Python, and extracted the boot.img_117638 file. Given the file is 0 bytes with nothing in text edit, I still converted it to an img file. But in the kdztools android app, when I select this image file and run, I get:
Code:
!Invalid input file
!Installation failed
I'm guessing the boot.img file should have some data in it. But I'm not sure this method would even work due to the fastboot issues, especially with 'download to device' errors.
-------
I'm just at a standstill on what to even try next. I don't see many people having this much trouble unlocking/rooting their v60. Did the OTA Android v.11 break the root-ability?!
PS: Debugging and OEM unlock are both set in developer options. I can also list drivers used if need.
Thanks for the help in advance!
While digging I also found a post by alexenferman whom managed to use QFIL to root many older ZTE smartphones. They state it may but likely won't work on newer flagship phones. It's a great tutorial I'll have to try soon, but is there a reason it likely won't work here?

Why are you even in section 11.1? You have a v600TM ... a TMobile version. Not a Verizon version. Stop. Just stop. Jump to 11.2.
If you have gotten the engineering bootloader in place, you should be good to go with 11.2.

Haha, I remember reading that and still continued
I am on Verizon myself using this TM model. I know the phone was unlocked to the point where I could use it with Verizon. I even got 5g using my old 4g sim card.
Anyhow.. I have tried using that command already, and get the same 'command not supported issue'.
Code:
C:\adb-platform-tools>fastboot devices
LMV600TMc40cxxxx fastboot
C:\adb-platform-tools>fastboot oem unlock
FAILED (remote: 'Command not supported in default implementation')
fastboot: error: Command failed
Again have tried different computers and cables as I've read fastboot can be pretty picky too.
Did you select/enable OEM unlock within the Developer Options under Settings/System?

Yes I do, I have turned it off and back on as well.
Well then at this point, I'm tapped out. Smarter folks than me will need to step in and take up the mantle.
[NG]Owner
I ended up posting a form to reddit where about 10 people insisted I did something wrong, and with little surprise -- I did.
I did not flash the engineering bootloader after saving a copy.
Makes a lot more sense since it seemed like a lot of steps to backup without actually doing anything
Thanks NG for the help too!
are you success to unlock bootloader yet. if no i will show you
adb reboot fastboot> select reboot bootloader on your phone> fastboot oem unlock
