I just want to know is anyone still able to unlock bootloader of redmi note 3 in official way
No... RIP kenzo ... Only working method is unofficial way.
+1
How does the unofficial bootloader method work? The reason for me asking is because there's so many conflicting reports of success, with some users bricking their phones in the process.
Also, in June 2018, I've managed to unlock my Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 phone officially, so what's happened since then that caused it to no longer become officially unlockable? I suspect that it is unjust a case of Xiaomi officially giving up support for that device.

The official bootloader unlock guide here http://en.miui.com/thread-202290-1-1.html states that "If you're using Redmi Note 3 Qualcomm version or Mi 5, you can unlock on MIUI Global Stable ROM"
1- Did anybody succeed in doing so?
2- After unlocking the official way, can I still flash the latest global stable? (assuming that point 1 is not possible and I have to flash the china dev) I read warnings everywhere not to do so to avoid boot loop, is this warning valid even when unblocked through the official way?
3- If I flash the latest global, will my bootloader get locked again?
I would like to unlock my bootloader to prepare for CM13 and in the meantime I want to keep running the global stable ROM.
Many thanks

I'm on Redmi Note 3 Qualcomm.
1 - For me, it only worked with the Global Dev ROM. You can switch from Global Stable without erasing any data though. I had the usual "never works on the first try"-stuff though, so I tried a lot of things and I can't say if being on Global Stable was one of the main issues.
2 - I read similar things, but also that you can OTA update without any problems when you are officially unlocked. I think the posts warning of bootloops concern the unofficial unlock only and it will happen if you forget to delete emmc_appsboot.mbn before flashing an official ROM.
3 - Shouldn't happen. Haven't tried it yet, but what would be the point of Xiaomi locking the bootloader again, just because you changed ROM versions.
So, #2 and #3 is guess work on my site. Hope someone else can chime in and give definitive answers. As of #1, hope it helps to know that Global Dev works fine. Or was there any reason you wanted to stay on Global Stable?
Hi pro users of Xiaomi!
Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X is my first ever Xiaomi device and I wanted to try many things BUT a locked bootloader hinders me!
Whenever I try to officially unlock bootloader, it says "too many requests from this IP..." (and I have tried it from several different Internet Connections). I tried it when I was on MIUI 8 (Marshmallow) and on MIUI 9 China Developer (Nougat) but same error.
I have seen some posts for other Xiaomi phones that say that "I flashed a ..certain.. ROM and unlocked bootloader officially and then flashed the most recent back; and my bootloader is unlocked still".
So, I request any unofficial method to unlock bootloader or any trick to unlock bootloader officially. Please help me. If i didn't make myself clear enough, do ask me more about the problem. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.
Huawei has apparently closed the the possibility to unlock the bootloader for the future.
Does this mean, there is no other way to unlock the bootloader with their devices and instal custom ROMs?
You can still get unlock codes. I have got mine for Mate 10 just today in the event I decide I want to unlock after 22nd July.
Thanks for this hint, halfcoast!
But i - and a lot other users - do not have a huawei phone yet and only think about buying one in the future depending on if it's unlockable or not.
Does the "huawei service" stop on the 22nd July and no unlock codes and no other unlock method, no customROMs for the mate 10 and their other phones afterwards?

My understanding is that after the 22nd, they won't be providing any codes to unlock anymore.
U can't unlock bootloader after 22.07.2018 = the death for custom roms
I will sell my Mate 10 Pro and never buy again a Huawei device. So easy...
Because Huawei shut down the unlocking service, will there be another way to unlock the bootloader?
I have been looking to buy a new phone but I need it to be able to support lineage. Sadly, Nokia 8 seems long off bootloader unlocking.

Do note that although there are ways to get your bootloader unlocked unofficialy, custom ROMs are still a long way from stable. There are no active developments for the P20 lite itself and the Treble ROMs do not support notch yet and are not stable enough to be daily drivers.
I've currently a Huawei P20 Lite but it's softbricked and it will be repaired.
But the chance is 50% that it can't be repaired anymore and that's why I look for a new phone in case my phone can't be repaired.
I searched on Google and I saw the Oppo A72 and I'm considering that phone.
I find it important that the bootloader can be unlocked for free because I will flash a custom ROM on it but I couldn't find a reliable answer on that question.
So what's the bootloader unlock policy of Oppo?
Are their phones bootloader unlockable for free or can't the bootloader be unlocked at all?

The Bootloader on the A72 cannot be unlocked at the moment and fastboot mode has limited use. So no easy commands to unlock bootloader ot flash images
Okay, for that reason I've ru!ed out the Oppo A72 from my list.
I'll order the Xiaomi Poco X3 instead
Update: I've chosen the Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite 128GB as my next phone.
However, if my sister finds it too expensive and tells me she can't order that phone then it will be the Xiaomi Poco X3. (I'm only 17 years old and I'm not allowed to order stuff on my own)

More update pls
I got my Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite 128GB on February the 15th of 2021.
I used the stock ROM (MIUI EEA Global) until June until I flashed Xiaomi.eu Weekly and I use that ROM since then.
It's now (The time I'm writing this message) more then a year ago since I got my phone and I've to say that I'm in general very satisfied with my phone and enjoy using it.
It was definitely worth it.

Glad you enjoyed it!
Currently I'm having a Poco F3 8/256 with Ancient OS. It's magnificent.
