I am currently on 13.0.2.0 SKEINXM and i hate global rom , I want miui dialer and messages app to come pre-installed , so I found that Indonesian rom has miui dialer and messages pre installed , so how do I flash Indonesian rom on top of my global rom without unlocking bootloader ?
I found a video on YouTube that is flashing Indonesian rom on global without rooting .
Here is the link -
I don't think there is a way to flash roms without unlocking the bootloader. You need it unlocked for the adb and the fastboot commands to work.
There is a way to install through the ota update system, but I'm not sure how stable or safe it really is.
Why do you not want to unlock the bootloader? You don't need to have a rooted phone for flashing roms, rooting and unlocking the bootloader are 2 seperate things.
For warranty reasons if you really want to have a locked bootloader, you can unlock it and then flash and then lock it back again.

Hi All
I'm about to buy a carrier Orange (FR) locked Atrix; so please help me to check out:
Can I root (onesuperclick) & install a generic custom rom such 2.3.4 WITHOUT bootloader unlocking (want to keep warranty)?
where can I find this generic 2.3.4 and how to install?
thanks lot
Rooting isn't a problem. You'll need to unlock that bootloader in order to install custom roms though..

Thanks lot for replying. May I install any stock rom Gingerbread (not my own carrier specific one witch is just 2.2!) only by rooting?
All those gingerbread roms are custom roms so no there either I think..
No if your phone isnt unlocked bootloader you can only install your providers ROMs
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,
I brought redmi 3 from someone this evening and im having trouble already at unlocking bootloader. First of all here is my device information:
Model number: Redmi 3
Android version: 5.1.1 LMY47V
Android security patch level: 2016-04-01
Miui version: MIUI Global 7.3 | Stable 7.3.2.0.0(LHPCNDD)
Baseband version: M8936FAAAANUZM-1.41886.1_V011
Kernel version: 3.10.49-perf-g6241083
I notice one thing after enable developer option and tick enable oem unlock i dont get option for unlock status. So i try to flash global developer rom with miflash (fastboot) but it give me an error. I try update rom from updater app but no success either. Please tell me how to do this. Or do i have to wait for a sms conformation from xiaomi? Sorry for my bad english.
If you want to unlock bootloader officially, you need to be on official rom, either dev rom or stable rom. Your current rom aren't official, its a fake vendor rom. You need to flash official rom from edl mode using miflash before attempting unlocking bootloader the official way.
But if you want to unlock the bootloader unofficially, just flash a modified bootloader from here in edl mode using miflash. No need to be on official rom, no need to request for unlock permission, no need to wait for sms confirmation.
Depends on you which route you want to take.

Successfully flash twrp into my device with root method. I worked. Thank you very much. This step is easy and save me alot of time. Thanks again. Now i can flash rr 5.8.1
I was earlier on custom rom for which i had unlocked bootloader and not relocked. Right now on latest stock update RMX1921EX_11.C.10
I want to know what would happen if I root my phone running on stock rom. I do not wish to install any custom os.
Also tell the procedure
Hello guys, ive a Note 9S that has a microphone bug, if i call the other person cant hear me for the first 20 sec, i was thinking about flashing the Global ROM over my EEA to solve the bug. It is possible to flash it over the EEA without unlocking the bootloader? Do unlock the BL void my warranty?
Without unlocking the bootloader, you can't install MIUI from another region. You could either flash a Global MIUI ROM on your EEA running phone via MiFlash or via a custom recovery and both methods would need BL to be unlocked.
