Hi. So I have REDMI NOTE 3 SD. I got permission to unlock officially. However the Mi unlock tool is giving error of could not verify device.
I'm on Global Stable rom 7.2.3.
I'm not able to go to China Stable ot Dev rom through updater app. It gives error that could not verify package.
Please help as to how to unlock the bootloader officially even though I have permission.

Welcome to the club. You are not the only one with this issue. Give it some time (maybe a week or two) and try again.

Flash China Stable through Mi Flash then use Updater app to update to China Developer from China stable. Then unlock.
You can't flash China Developer from Global stable using Updater app.

I remember RN3 giving me problems when I tried to go from Global Stable to China Dev as well. Global Stable to Global Dev worked perfectly though.
I managed to unlock by going from global stable to global dev.

you cant go from Global stable to China dev, first you have to flash china stable through flash tool than
download and install china dev rom zip via updater app. it'll work..
Update your stock ROM...had the same issue..the update helped with solving my problem (50℅ couldn't verify device error)
pls post here with your details.

Had the unlock stuck at 50% too - worked after going to Dev version. I'm on Global but I think China Dev will also work.
Hello dear friends,
I have buyed a Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 with global rom. I will install dutch language, but cannot find a good rom. Can you help me please? I have also problem with the sim tray. The phone recognize both sim cards, but doesnt have service. Please help. I live in the Netherlands.
The ROMs from xiaomi.eu have Dutch language in-built as far as I know. Here is the link to their Weekly ROMs - https://xiaomi.eu/community/link-forums/roms-download.73/
As for the SIM card issue, have you checked if your operator's bands are supported by the phone or not?
What is your current rom?
Report what you find here: -
Settings - About Phone - MIUI version
Possibility of a vendor rom on the device?

Hi, my current rom is: MIUI version: MIUI Global 8.0 | Stable 8.0.1.0(LHOMIDG)
Thanks for response
Helle, thanks for response. I have downloaded that rom, but cannot install it on my device. Do you know how to do that? I have sometimes problems with MiFlash.. Sometime it works, and sometime it gives error message about hello packet.

For xiaomi.eu roms, you need to unlock your bootloader officially and flash the rom through TWRP.

I have an unlocked bootloader and TRWP, but cannot install an EU rom, can you help me with that?
@dlkrsn42 First take backup, because flashing xiaomi.eu rom will require a wipe of data.
Put the xiaomi.eu rom zip (intact not extracted) on your external sdcard.
Boot TWRP.
Wipe Data and cache Partitions
Select Install and choose the xiaomi.eu rom zip (from sdcard).
Swipe to Install
Reboot

@dlkrsn42 First boot of the rom, can take 15 to 20 mins.
What version of TWRP are you using? Try the official version: - https://twrp.me/devices/redminote3.htm
Did you download the correct version of the rom for kenzo?
Did you check the MD5 of the rom, to make sure it wasn't corrupted in the download.
Your bootloader might have been locked again by the flash, so you will have to unlock it again using MIunlock tool!

sure you didn't need it if you coming from official miui either global or china version, then switch into eu rom.
different story if you coming from cm/aosp rom. eu rom will locked your bootloader even officially unlock, this happened to me once. after flashing eu rom from cm, i directly reboot it. guess what, stuck at mi logo & fastboot mode. checked my bl, it's locked again and should be unlocked.
will be more safe if you suggest to flash it after rom due to we didn't know those ppl coming from miui/cm/aosp and which twrp used.

Yes, but i gonna delet it from there, nobody gives reply. In meanwhile i have did a research and find the problem (i think). Ik have flashed my Phone to an Global rom (kenzo), but i need to install the global rom version for redmi note 3 special edition (kate). I have find this update package, but cannot not install it. I have asked permission to xiaomi to unlock my bootlaoder (officialy), i hope to get a postive answer and after that, i actualy dont know how to update my Phone with the Kate rom.
You know how i can do this? Or somebody else whos reading this. Please help me
@abihary First thing i did when I got my device was to flash global dev, to unlock. And flashed xiaomi.eu rom. Didn't need to patch boot. Have updated by dirty flashing about 11 weekly roms and didn't encounter any problems.
If your device has been on CM firmware, then you probably need to flash official roms first before flashing xiaomi.eu rom and would need the lazy flasher.
Xiaomi.eu Marshmallow roms cause the bootloader lock if coming from lollipop.
@dlkrsn42 "Kate" Model doesn't have an xiaomi.eu rom (probably never will due to only official global roms for it).
No wonder your device boot-looped when flashed with a "Kenzo" rom.
The rom you listed earlier was for "Kenzo"

If you do have the "Kenzo" and unlocked unofficially, there was extract steps required to successfully flash xiaomi.eu rom.
See here.
Edit: It is advised to be officially unlocked for xiaomi.eu marshmallow roms
If you have "Kate" check here to flash an official rom by EDL. Doesn't need to be unlocked to do so. But use a fastboot rom.
Out of curiosity while in fastboot mode, what does the following report?
Code:

Hello, thanks for the information. The fastboot getvar product code results in Kenzo. I will tell you short my situation:
I and my friend have orderd the xiaomi redmi note 3 (snapdragon). I had installed everything but with a reason i dont know my phone doesnt accepted the lockscreen pin. This is the pin i used several years on different phones, so my phone was not able to use. I have did a research and found fastboot and fastboot roms for Kenzo. I have did this and know i have problems with my simcard (no service) and camera that doesnt work.
i asked my friend to send me a screen shot of his "about phone" menu (we both got the same phones). His phones shows this: "MIUI Global | 7.5 Stable 7.5.2.0 (MHRMIDE)" and my phone shows now (after update) "MIUI Global 8.0 | Stable 8.0.5.0(LHOMIDG)". I did an research on his version (MHRMIDE) and find the international version (Kate). Well i have buyed that phone also, sow i am thinking that my phone now doesnt support my provider (but i dont know why camera doesnt work..). Sow i am now out of options. I have find an tutorial (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TufbuneNl4) to install MHRMIDE rom from TWRP recovery. On the youtube movie its going all good, but not when i try it. Can it be because o dont have official unlocked bootloader?(i am still waiting on an sms from Xiaomi). And everything was working very fine when i received the phone.
I will very happy of someone can help me to fix it. Can it something with baseband or kernel? I am not an expert like you guys... I hope this story is clear and understandable..
@dlkrsn42 If you and your friend have exactly the same phone and it is the same size.
Then if you flashed a "kenzo" rom onto a "Kate" model, It is probably incorrectly telling the wrong product version in fastboot.
That would also explain why your not getting no service as the kate has different modem firmware.
As I suggested earlier you will need to flash a Fastboot rom for "kate" in EDL mode, can be done without unlocking the bootloader.
Edit: The video you linked is a guide to put the "Kate" rom on a "Kenzo" and is not recommended because it won't unlock the extra bands.

Hello, thanks for fast response. Well ı tried to flash a kate rom, but it doesnt work. Do you have any idea what i can do? Because when i ordered the phone, it is selled as an international phone amd it was also working good till i have flashed a kenzo rom.
Have you tried the EDL Mode method with a fastboot rom.
Here are instructions for that method, just make sure you use Special Edition Fastboot rom.
I find that the sim isn't recognized when booted up. You need to enter airplane mode then deactivate it for the phone to register the sim

The only way I know is testpoint.
There is now global beta version. I flashed from global stable to global beta through system update and now I successfully bind phone, no more 86006 error. Just need to wait 15 days to unlock it.
You can find the rom link on miui forum of Redmi 5 Plus

Hi,
I can't find answer regarding updating my miui OS to latest available.
I bought the Chinese version(package is written in Chinese) and the seller told me to not update via OTA else my phone will get bricked.
My question is what rom is suitable for the Chinese version?
Attaching my phone info.
Thanks a lot

Nope, you do not.
Device supports any upgrade from any official version, it happens that some sellers proceeded with a method specifically with the chinese version to flash a called "fake" rom onto it, for this reason it crashes trying to update via OTA. Don´t confuse; it supports any complete upgrade flashing entire rom through MiFlash tool or through recovery but not some OTAs due to bootloader restrictions.
What the user is telling you is if you unlock bootloader and install twrp you can install more easily any rom onto it.
But if you don´t want to root by now you can flash by i.e. this version that it seems to be the latest http://en.miui.com/thread-3007347-1-1.html it should happen that MiFlash tool doesn´t work (I guess only works with unlocked bootloader) then you have to try version for recovery, don´t forget to enable USB debugging and just in case OEM unlock features in developer options. If this doesn´t result then you have to search for MiPhone flash tool to flash in edl mode.
Before go further do a backup an bind atleast an account in your device to Xiaomi servers to have a plan B.
Hey, so I've been using Xiaomi phones for quite a while, and I've gone through notes, Poco, the 9T pro, now up to the Mi10. I've only ever installed minor mods and such, never needed to flash ROMs before. I just set up my Mi10 today and it says no updates are available, staying on Android 10 and MiUI 11, even though it should have at least access to a beta MiUI12. Tried different regions, nothing.
I looked around and saw some ROMs for MiUI 12 for DL, there are ROMs for the Ultra and Pro, but not the basic. Thing is, the Pro and the regular are almost identical devices, save for I guess the camera sensors. So, I have a few questions.
Would the Mi10 pro ROM work for the regular Mi10 5G?
If not, is there a link I missed here for a MiUI 12 ROM for the regular one?
Can I really install a ROM through the phone itself, manually, and if not, is there a guide on here that I have also missed?
Soon
Check weekly builds on xiaomi eu website

As you see, VF is Vodafone branded firmware, so it is very slow in updating. You should change fw: unlock bootloader, use mi flash for flashing EEA fw. You can relock using that fw, not others

Hi,
I had the same questions when i received my Mi10 last week (France) it was locked on mi11 and no update proposed
Now, before unlocking the bootloader, i could manually update with no problem to miui 12.0.6 European stable version through manual update (setting - > updates - > menu > select update package
The recovery update package can be found easily on Google.

Well, this really blows. I set up an account fine, logged in with MiUnlock, tried to unlock, it threw an error 1004. Tried again, told me to associate this device and number in developer settings. I did that, tried again, and it said "Try again 168 hours later, not earlier or you'll wait from scratch"...
This sucks.
I don't get it at all. Everything seemed fine. Is there really nothing I can do?
I'm almost tempted to just return the phone if I can't.

If it's normal and I just need to try in a week, then ok, but if there's something else, I might as well return it since no telling when VF will release firmware, and I wasn't told it was VF-branded on purchase.
I also get something about "SMS_DOWNLINK_REACHED", if that matters, but it didn't seem to affect the Mi account or the developer options "add account to device".

You have to wait a week, yes. Seller should say if it is a branded VF device. If you don't want to wait you can return it. In my case i have paid 420 EUR, so i choose to unbrand it by myself.
I advice you to read some guide online for unlocking etc
Message in "mi flash" is normal, you have to use "mi unlock" before. They are different programs

Yeah, I know they're different, this message is from Mi Unlock Tool, I followed the steps on Xiaomi's DL site for it, i.e. create and confirm a Mi account on the phone, download the tool, log in with the account, boot the phone in safeboot mode, try unlocking, llink the phone and number with developer options, etc.
If it's normal, then that's good and I didn't mess something up. All that's left is to wait and see if it works in a week.
Thanks a lot for the help, I hope this works out eventually!
