Hey!
So I recently bought a Redmi note 3 (SD) Kenzo, and successfully installed the latest official cm13 snapshot, though I am having problems with the rear camera, flash and FP sensor not been recognized/functioning.
(I should note I’ve never rooted, flashed, unlocked boot loader or install custom recovery or anything like this before)
My process was:
Request official permission to unlock, which I received in like 5 mins, then proceeded to successfully unlock with Mi unlock tool.
I then flashed official TWRP 3.0.2-2, but then couldn’t access internal storage due to some encryption thing TWRP was complaining about. I later worked out it was because I was running the latest China Dev MIUI ROM which is marshmallow, and then flashed “cofface_TWRP3_kenzo_p.img”, which worked fine.
I booted up into TWRP just fine, and then proceeded to wipe Dalvik cache, system, data and cache. I then flashed the firmware then latest snapshot build of which is linked here "http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/development/rom-cyanogenmod-13-t3431866". And then flashed open Gapps.
I then booted up which took around 10 minutes or so just fine.
According to Aida64 I have FPC sensor, and looking through root/system/etc/firmware, with no “goodix” to be seen. I don’t know where to look to find info on my rear cam and flash though.
So should I flash “radon kernel” (I don’t entirely know what this will do), did I make a mistake in the process, or something else entirely? Also is my bootloader now locked due to flashing cm13, and can I unlock it again with the Mi unlock tool?
It would be so great if you could help!
(also if more info is needed just let me know)

Bro, you did everything in correct order.
And, to get fp working for you, flash Radon v2.9 and select fpc (or goodix if still doesn't work). Kernel is the sw part which directly interacts with your hw. So, you'll need Kernel Aduitor or any another such app to tweak the kernel settings. AIDA64 should show your cam sensors, afair.
And, if Radon doesn't help then you can flash CM13_RADIOS.zip which you'll find in the "All ROM, Recoveries, add-on zips......." thread.
And, official CM13 doesn't lock your bootloader, the unofficial CM13 from SantoshM does that.
You can unlock your bootloader any no. of times using MiUnlock, and if needed you can check it using the following command in adb and fastboot tool
Code:
fastboot oem device-info
Look for "Bootloader Unlocked - true/false"
As above, flash the latest Radon Kernel. Also do not use the old snapshots of CM13 (they are now months old), nightlies are more stable and much more updated.

Can the kernel be flashed after the firmware/rom? Will it factory reset the device? If i run into any any issues what part do i wipe and replace in twrp to revert to the previous kernel?
Are you sure you have the Kenzo version?
Maybe you have the Kate version like me

Flashing a kernel is like flashing any add-on zip like bootanimation or some new font and stuff. You don't need to flash the whole ROM or the reqd. firmware.
So, first make a backup of system and boot partition in twrp.
Then, wipe cache and dalvik and then flash the kernel zip. Reboot and done.. First boot may take some time.
And, should you need to revert back to stock, you can restore the backup you made earlier.

Yes holy sh*t thank you, both cameras and flash work now, fingerprint doesn't, so i'll try re-flashing it for "goodix" to see if that works.
(also is normal to hear a physical clicking sound next to the flashlight when turned on/off?)

Maybe you have goodix variant. If everything else fails, try goodix patch: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3Ji2Mma4WGpaFAweDZNWmVVVms/view
Greetings!
I'm facing this weird problem that some people seem to have as well. The device is recognizing my SIM card, but there's no network connectivity. I cannot connect to WiFi and it's showing this ridiculous MAC address. Bluetooth can be enabled, but other devices can't see it, so it's malfunctioning as well.
I have this problem on many official ROMs. Bootlocker is locked.
I'm currently on Lineage OS. Installing it set my IMEI to 0, but I restored it with IMEI Changer (WriteDualIMEI(W+G_eMMC).exe).
Should I unlock the bootloader and flash modem NON-HLOS.bin, to attempt to restore network connectivity?
Have you check imei ???
if you have twrp alka backup then restore it.
Faced problem when downgrading miui mm to miui lp

Thanks for replying. My IMEI is fine, as I mentioned in the first post. I don't have any backups, since I've just installed TWRP earlier today.
This n backup with alka keep saafe
Then flash latest miui mm dev via edl flash all unlock official
Then flash latest lineage

I tried multiple official roms, both dev and stable, Lollipop and Marshmallow. It's not a Lineage problem. I cannot unlock the bootloader officially, as I get stuck at 50% when it's trying to verify my device. I cannot log in to my MIUI account as there's no way for me to connect to the Internet.

Use download miui 8 6.11.3 fastboot ROM
Then flashing via edl just replace recovery IMG of stock to zcx after seeing operation completed successful
Then force reboot recovery
Then backup current ROM then factory reset + wipe system flash aosp 5.1.1 by Mr coldbird
Then reboot
Then chectout wifi ac and other stuff
Otherwise use this guide to unlock unofficially

Did anyone consider that hardware module for wifi &* bt is broken?
Check your phone box. The problem seems that your hardwares aren't detected right which need to be manually fixed by changing the Bluetooth and WiFi MAC Address. You can find the original hardware address on the box. And do some research on the Internet that works for your phone
Redmi note 3 kenzo WiFi, BT. MAC address is 02:00:00:00:00 problem
Redmi note 3 kenzo WiFi, BT. MAC address is 02:00:00:00:00. And imei is fine. What to do? Explain step by step!

Having same issue . pls help
Hi guys,
first of all: I am an idiot
I was using an old nightly from CM 13-kenzo and decided to do some preparation to finally migrate to Lineage without data loss.
So I wanted to go to CM14.1 before flashing the experimental Lineage and the nightly.
What did I flash with TWRP?
1.) ROM: cm-14.1-20161225-NIGHTLY-kenzo.zip
2.) GAPPS 7.1 ARM64 micro
3.) Firmware: CM14.1-firmware_20161205.zip
I think I should have flashed the firmware first, moreover, I didn't wipe caches.
What's happening now?
Recovery mode does not work (the display just flash for half a second)
Booting does not work (ofc )
Fastboot mode still works.
How can I fix this nice problem with Cyanogenmod?
Any help is much appreciated.
Bro,I also faced this problem. Just go to guides section and follow the guide"install zcx twrp without unlocking bootlader" one. And flash by that method twrp and you will get it all back.
I have also faced problem same you are facing and solved it!!!
Btw. which recovery you used while installing this build?

. Your bootloader is lock, if you still can get to fastboot, then enter edl mode and use miflash to unlock yourboot loader again
Thx. Does Miflash work on a chromebook?

It's saying "Your device isn't supported by Mi Unlock" Go to .../unlock to apply for Mi Unlock support.
If you mean XiaomiMiFlash tool, what exactly do I have to flash?

Yes, I mean Miflash tool. You need to folow this guide
http://en.miui.com/thread-235865-1-1.html
And remember you will lost all data in internal memory, you will get back to MIUI with that guide. Then try to unlock your bootloader officially or unofficially again.
Or if you woud like to take risk then you can try this way https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/unlock-unofficially-install-zcx-twrp-t3586778 without data lost

Regarding your 2nd link:
now bring your phone in action and turn on oem unlock from developer optipn(tap miui version 7 time and find developer option in additional option)
sign out of your mi account

That would be the impossible part. So I guess I've to work with the first link. Thanks.
So if you damaged the recovery and your bootloader is locked theres no way to rescue this phone without a xiaomi shop but good luck
Okay problem solved. I used this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/kate-guide-install-lineage-os-locked-t3546154 and it worked like a charm.

Hello,
I have an issue with my redmi note 4 (global version). I used an app, hidden settings apk to try and adjust the band so I could use another network on it. Now my sim 1 has stopped working ever since and the app has no way of resetting to default. Please is there a way I can resolve this and get my phone working again.

UPDATE: I flashed the phone using fastboot, I believe that can work? Although I flashed the miui rom version 9 (updated version). I am just getting to know that STOCK rom means the rom that came with the phone when I purchased it. So if I flash it with stock rom, it will work?

Not fastboot , you should have a recovery from where you can wipe data and install roms , yes the old system memory will be lost ( of the sim one which you have tweaked ) there fore it'll start normal and it'll be working

2) how to install custom recovery for your device

You enter recovery by holding power and volume up button it's a place where you can change roms and kernels and mostly install anything, it's not a file , it has a interface (basic) just see on YouTube how to use twrp , but you have to 1st unlock bootloader , follow the steps I gave with the help of YouTube

1. please read this very carefuly.this guide is made from my personal experience.
like some members of this forums told me and i think a little about it,there can be problem about downgrade to oreo with devices who have unlock device from operator.but i believe can be easily unlock with talk with operators,not sure,but be best to check it out by self.
firstly i am not noob,i am developer and compiler for many mtk device. sadly this is my FIRST
samsung device also snapdragon. so for me completely unknown.i want in first root and do custom roms but untill now
i dont find any device tree for this device.kernel source i have but device and vendor tree not.then i found i can
flash gsi on this device. so i do as i will explain in following text.
2. as many other of you i have update device on PIE and next days i install update i found possibility to flash gsi,
so i try. i found patched pie boot.img and try to flash gsi roms but none of them isnt boot.so i stop and again read gsi guide
for flash gsi.i read that devices shipped with some firmwares have chance to flash gsi roms.so i found oreo rom
for our device and flash it with odin.rom is boot without any problems.i set up all things as normall(google account)
and after all setup i go to device info and tap on build numbers 7-10 times and then developer settings is open,then i
checked if is there oem unlocking.(if you dont set up google account this settings will not shown(oem unlocking)).
when i see is ok and there,i power off device,go to download mode and connect with pc,and open odin,
and flash twrp(again thanks to ashyx).dont let odin to boot system(turn off auto rebbot in option),
so i reboot to recovery,go to wipe,choose format data,write yes and swipe.
after that i reboot to recovery you MUST flash oreo enforcing.zip,rmm and oreo patched boot.and go to install choose micro sd card and go to flash img. choose gsi rom you want and
flash it as system(pop up windows will ask wich partition you choose(system),then swipe to flash,after flashing you flash magisk,
and go to mount and mount system and reboot to system. firstly your device can reboot once-twice during,but dont worry
after that will go to boot and in short time,one- two minutes will boot.
3.now i must warning you.many of gsi roms work properly,but have many bugs.mtp dont works with pc in boot up,but in recovery
works without problems.for me is not problem,i can live with it.
3.1.sim card 2 is work but sim card 1 is not see it.also i can live with it.most of time i use 1 sim card,not both.
3.2.fm radio isnt show,and not work.
4.in short i give you again flash guide.
go to recovery (must be in oreo)
go to wipe-format data,write yes and swipe to format (many say to need back to recovery,i didnt do that but is your choice).
go to sd card and install oreo enforcing.zip,RMM bypass.zip and oreo patched boot.img
go to install and choose flash.img and choose gsi you want,and flash as system
go to install zip and flash magisk
then go to mount,mount system and reboot to system
device will reboot twice or more time and then after minute or two will reboot.be calm.
after device is reboot,enjoy.:good:

flash it as system(pop up windows will ask wich partition you choose(system),then swipe to flash,after flashing you flash magisk,
and go to mount and mount system and reboot to system. firstly your device can reboot once-twice during,but dont worry
after that will go to boot and in short time,one- two minutes will boot.
3.now i must warning you.many of gsi roms work properly,but have many bugs.mtp dont works with pc in boot up,but in recovery
works without problems.for me is not problem,i can live with it.
3.1.sim card 2 is work but sim card 1 is not see it.also i can live with it.most of time i use 1 sim card,not both.
3.2.fm radio isnt show,and not work.
4.in short i give you again flash guide.
go to recovery (must be in oreo)
go to wipe-format data,write yes and swipe to format (many say to need back to recovery,i didnt do that but is your choice).
go to sd card and install oreo enforcing.zip,RMM bypass.zip and oreo patched boot.img
go to install and choose flash.img and choose gsi you want,and flash as system
go to install zip and flash magisk
then go to mount,mount system and reboot to system
device will reboot twice or more time and then after minute or two will reboot.be calm.
after device is reboot,enjoy.:good:

Thank you for sharing your experience. I was planning on trying to flash a GSI, but I have to wait 7 days for the OEM unlock on Stock Oreo. Of these files you listed, I do not have the "oreo patched boot." This is also necessary, and if so, where do I find it?
Thank you in advance and I count on your help.

Thank you! I followed in his footsteps and was successful in installing LineageOS 16. Working very well, but I felt a slight problem regarding the audio volume, which is extremely low.
I would like to ask one more question, which is about testing other GSI: Is there a need to install one of those files, or just the image and Magisk?
Thank you very much.

once you perform flashing gsi,no need repeat every time this steps,just (at least i do like that) format data,reboot to recovery,flash gsi(as system.image) and flash magisk then mount system and reboot.about audio volume install viper fx audio apk(Magisk module),and then fix volume as your own.
