Hi Redmi Note 3 owners!
This will be the first "Xiaomi" device I'm looking for customize. I have unlocked bootloader, root device, installed roms, etc, etc, on other phone brands, but never on Xiaomi ones. And always on Qualcomm processors.
But this Xiaomi terminal has a CPU I never worked with before: MTK (octa-core at 2.0Ghz). Here you have some useful info about the device:
- Redmi Note 3
- Android 5.0.2 (LP) - LRX22G [MIUI 7.0 v7.0.919.0 / Stable]
- MTK CPU
- RAM 3GB
So, I would like to, first, unlock the bootloader; but I have read there are two different ways to do that: Official and Unofficial. I now that if I choose the official one, I have to create an account for Mi Account, and wait for response from MIUI to be able to unlock it. But there is another way, instantly, that can unlock it too; but I don't know if the unofficial one is only for qualcomm, or for MTK devices too. What do you recommend to me? And if you recommend the unofficial way, could you provide me a good tutorial to do that?
Then, I wanna root, and install a different ROM based at least on Marshmallow version (stock if possible). And also add TWRP recovery.
Many thanks guys!

Hello, okay so I have been looking round a lot for the right method of how to root my Redmi Note 3 Pro (snapdragon) but i literally cannot find the correct way for my miui version or android version. My device is running Miui Global 8.0.1.0.0 stable (LH0CNDG) on android 5.1.1. The bootloader is already unlocked. But i just really can't seem to find the correct way to root the device and install TWRP. Could someone please help me? Thanks.

looks like your rom are distributor version. It should be easier to flash TWRP via fastboot by press vol down + power button.

When i bought the phone the seller put a global rom on which automatically unlocked the phone.

Click to collapse
what i did:
1. request official bootloader unlock (just in case its needed)
2. flash global dev rom with the official miui updater app on the phone (load the file from xiaomi)
3. unlock the bootloader with the official xiaomi unlocker tool
4. flash twrp image via fastboot commands
5. within twrp i flashed the twrp alka via flash -> image -> flash recovery partition
6. reboot into recovery to get to twrp alka
7. backup all the partition (in my case with official MM 6.0.1 MIUI relase i had to wipe all user data in twrp to get rid of phone encryption)
8. flash Supersu.zip in twrp alka
9. reboot, be patient and enjoy
I just received the Redmi Note 3 pro running the same Miui Global stable 8.0.1.0.0 and bootloader already unlocked. How do I know if it has been unlocked via official / non official way?
Do I have to install the official TWRP or not?
Is it possible to lock the bootloader again and the unlock it via official way?
I obviously don't want to brick my device!
Thank you.
8.0.1.0.0 is a vendor rom. Check the linked wiki on how to flash official rom (by EDL mode). If the seller unlocked the bootloader they more than likely did it unofficially.
Hi all.
I'm about to buy Redmi Note 3 Pro for my wife.
I'm Samsung user and I know alot about flashing Samsung but with Xiaomi I'm newbie.
I would like to put stock Android on it so CM13 seems the best to me.
Can someone provide me with links with instructions what to do to flash CM13 or maybe some other more stable rom. I need step by step instructions for starting from stock device with Miui, unlocking bootloader, flashing recovery, etc.
Thanks.

It's simple: unlock bootloader, install Alka twrp, backup your EFS, flash cm13, reboot.
But flashing cm13 may not be the best idea with new Kenzo device, as fingerprint scanner may not be working (Radio.zio may solve this problem).
Now all you have to do is read about those steps.

FP is working on CM 13 nightly. Go for it if u want to and dont forget to get latest gapps

Is the FP only issue with CM13 or are there any other issues? Maybe recommendation for some other more stable rom. It is not for me so it must be stable like stock.

1,2,3. Install AID64 app from Playstore and you will find what you need.
4. Google is your best friend:good:
5. Yes
6. Not sure but mostly a yes unless you have installed some custom recovery like twrp
7,8. Both are the same. Better to flash fastboot version instead of flashable zip. Use google to find the fastboot version rom
9. Yes but you need to modify the flashable zip before flashing or else you will end up with a locked bootloader. Those flashable zips have a script for locking bootloaders automatically.
10. Device gets tampered only if you mess around with its parts. To restore to stock using fastboot version rom ONLY. How to flash the rom? Once again google is your best friend.
Hope this helps. Good luck

Raheel

I'll help some questions since someone already answered all your questions.
1. There is 3 versions, Redmi Note 4 (MTK), Redmi Note 4x (SD 3/32 and MTK 4/64), Redmi Note 4 (Global) (All SD versions) (same as 4x just different bands for global market). Easy way, look at your box.
2. That easy, some apps will do, or you can look at your about devices. If octacore SD, decacore MTK
3. Yes, there are 3 different camera sensors, Sony IMX, Samsung s5k, Omnivision OV. You can see *#*#6484#*#* which one better? Idk, some people like the sony one.
4. For custom roms, FPC better.
Just remember the code name, If you have SD version the code name is "mido" and Mediatek "nikkel" so you wont cross flashing roms.

Hello everyone , As All we know that offical TWRP is released for Redmi note 5 So please send all of us a detailed guide for installing TWRP and Android Oreo or any Customer ROM available now. Thank you
You could use your friend Google.
To unlock just use the official Xiaomi tool for unlocking. If you can't find that than you should take some sort of computer class first.
Currently there's no Oreo ROM for this device, so untill someone ports or builds one you can only flash AOSP Nougat ROMs.

1. So my question is after rooting, will my device be able to support monitor mode when I install kali nethunter on it?
or anyone have it rooted try it for me?
my processor is mtk helio g95.
If it's not working, I want to buy poco x3 pro from xiaomi which it comes with sd 860 processor.
So, Will it be able to run monitor mode with nethunter because it have snapdragon chipset?
2. Another question also,
I want to modify its kernal with a nethunter kernal so it can read wireless cards and run monitor mode on them,
Is that possible for poco x3 pro?
Here is the list of devices that can run Nethunter kernal :
Official Kali NetHunter Kernels
I didn't find poco x3 pro here but I find it on this list :
Kali Linux / NetHunter / build-scripts / kali-nethunter-devices ยท GitLab
