Bootloader Unlocking - 100% PERFECT:
100% Working Bootloader unlocking solution for Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro. You dont even need confirmation from Xiomi. You can UNLOCK / RE-LOCK Bootloader at any time...
Trust me, I have personally tested and unlocked my device. Follow steps mentioned over here : Click here
Conclusion : Dont wait for Xiamo to get the permission to unlock ur device. Follow above method. Altough u get permission, at least 95% chances that Mi Unlock application fails. I was trying with Mi unlock app for days and even following up in mi forums, with no working solution. They simply said, try it after a week... So, I dont want some one to waste their valuable time like me...

There are two ways,
1. Flashing Fastboot rom from mi forum will relock your Boot loader.
2. From the above mentioned tutorial, backup the original "fastboot flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn" file and it will relock the bootlader. optionally, you can try "fastboot oem lock" command as well.

On POST 3, I have given the link to the complete process and it works perfectly.
So, barely, its like, flashing 7.1.7 or 7.1.8 version with CHANGED MBN file. (MBN file is the main file which will allow unlocking from Fastboot command)
After flashing with changed MBN file, run the FASTBOOK OEM UNLOCK_GO command to unlock the file.
Then, u can check FASTBOOT OEM DEVICE-INFO to check the status. Then, flash other OS like CM12/13 or Qualcommn rom.
If u want MIUI os then, use FASTBOOT command to flash TWRP and reboot to TWRP. Then, download RECOVERY ZIP file and with WINZIP replace MBN and Changed BOOTLOADER (TWRP) file and then flash that file in TWRP. These steps are like an overview of the process, if u want more info, u can google it or check, MI forum
Hey guys I'm thinking of buying this phone the 32gb/3gb SD650 version to be specific and it's nice it's getting a custom roms just like the mtk version. How's the CM12/13 roms as for now overall? Stability, battery you know.. are these roms suitable for daily use? Btw now I have a K3 Note.
Custom ROMs are at very early stage and are not suitable for daily usage. As the kernel drivers are already out, we hope stable version will come soon... Qualcomm factory ROM is stable but feels slow...
Subbed and rated. Thanks for updating ^^
Direct Link to OTA for 7.2.3 is updated in first post. If anyone didnot get the OTA, download 190+MB zip file and put zip file in folder: /internalstorage/downloaded_rom/ Then, updater to update to new version of stock.

Nope, u ll not brick your phone. I have done that and it works flawlessly... I have unlocked bootloader and installed Qualcomm and CM12 roms and again flashed stock OTA via MI updater app. I didnt have any problem.
Although its not for novice users, in most of the cases, hardware bricking a phone is almost not possible, unless, u try to play directly with hardware. And, softbrick will easily be recoverable(Well u need a PC and drivers for sure)... its just like, when u r not able to run the OS in your phone, then, repair shop guy will just flash the stock rom and will give it back to you.... Just, thats what we are doing with MI updater. As mentioned earlier, this may not be for normal user...
Anyway, Thread 2 updated with new tutorial on How to flash OTAs without relocking your phone...

Hi,
guess this will be more of a review as it is hard to say which feature i like BEST:
Got my MAX 3gb/64gb (helium) delievered yesterday. Since it came with the 7.3 MIUI first thing i had to do was read up on how to install the MIUI8 China dev rom to the device. After a bit of fiddling and translating chinese / indian websites i came up with a workable solution, even with the bootloader locked. So since yesterday evening i got MIUI8 6.6.23 running on the device - weeded out some apps i did not understand (chinese) and installed Play Store.
So far i must say - this phone is glorious. MIUI8 is fast and seemingly stable, i did not come across any big bugs and there doesnt even seem to be the typical micro-stuttering. Im really happy i bought the phone and hoping there will be a multilanguage (i.e. german) MIUI8 for it. For now im perfectly good with the Dev Rom and english localisation.
Thanks Xiaomi!
To anybody interested - flashing the China Development ROM (MIUI 8 6.6.23) with the locked bootloader was not exactly easy, here is how to:
- get the rom image from here: http://en.miui.com/thread-299033-1-1.html (be sure to download the Mi Max Pro fastboot image - 1418mb)
- get MiFlash Beta from here: http://xiaomitips.com/download/new-miflash-beta-one-click-install-miui-fastboot-rom/
- extract tgz fastboot image - keep folder structure!
- enable developer options -> usb debugging in additional settings then turn off phone
- boot phone into EDL mode (phone off, press simultaneously vol+&vol- then connect usb cable)
- open miflash beta - there should be an entry with "id 1" and "device" something like "COM10" in the bottom table now - SEE ATTACHED SCREENSHOTS!
- select the folder where extracted image is located
- tick "clean all" in the bottom right
- hit flash
- enjoy.
First of all, thank you for sharing this. I went step by step (vol up and down didn't work for me, tried power and vol up and device didn't show up in fast boot, did vol down and power and it showed up) then I flashed the image and it successfully flashed, when the device booted it still showed the 7.4.16 global stable Rom the vendor installed : /, I did it again and the same thing, the rom didn't change. could you please help/?
Sorry, I followed the steps exactly as described and it worked out perfectly, thank you very much, its just that when I pressed vol + and - I didn't see anything on the screen so I thought it wasn't working, miui 8 is nice indeed, could you explain how you installed the play store, the one on the Mi store is crashing on me.
it's a little tricky but there is a thread on here that should get you started. you have to use the Google installer and then update some Google components before you restart your phone.

6.6.23 is older (june 23)
6.7.7 is the newest sofar (July 7)
I use the weekly multi rom on my MI Max since its better tuned with translations and the china apps that I don't use are removed
https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/6-7-7-11.32639/
the process for installing the new Version does not change with the newer miui8 6.7.7 so you're good to go with the same Instructions from OP.
Meanwhile on my Max I have boot loader unlocked and root. Works flawlessly with the new MIUI weekly Releases.

Would you mind pointing that thread where it's explained?
Thanks a lot for you experience sharing,
I was wondering maybe you solved this: i can't get whatsapp to run on this rom, even with all permissions given, whatapps and skype cant access my contacts. I got my contacts on the system using the old google installer apk which worked wonders except now i can't get past the looking for backup screen in whatsapp.
If anyone has ideas pls let me know and in the meanwhile i will try to flash other roms to see if one works..
I answered my own question playing with the settings. You have to register under accounts mi accounts to unable contact sync for all apps .... ? anyway it all works now!
BTW I have updated MUIU using http://en.miui.com/download-302.html#446 new dev rom and followed instructions.

Thanks heaps for the tutorial about installing Google Play services
By the way, can this rom you're talking about be flashed following the instructions by original poster?
Do I need to flash in first place the rom from original poster (MIUI 8 6.6.23) and then flash your new one (MIUI 8 6.7.14)?
Or can I flash directly latest one?

I can't tell you for sure but i think you have to use the instructions from the muiu site if you want the lastest dev rom.
1- I used OP instructions and links to install muiu 8
2- updated to last china dev rom following muiu site instructions.
3- installed all gapps stuff
PS if you want to ROOT, do this between 2 and 3: (unlocked boot loader)
1-Download SuperSu to root Xiaomi Mi Max and copy it to your phone sd card from this site: http://www.stechguide.com/root-install-twrp-recovery-xiaomi-mi-max/
2-Download xiaomi twrp flasher and use it to flash from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-max/development/tool-xiaomi-twrp-flasher-mauronofrio-win-t3405207
3-Follow instructions from step 9 : http://www.stechguide.com/root-install-twrp-recovery-xiaomi-mi-max/
Last thing im playing with trying to activate LTE bands on the phone. If anyone can help for that, i can't get the drivers to install propertly
Hi guys! I found a way to unlock your bootloader unofficially in Marshmallow ROMs in seconds without the Mi Unlocking Tool and even without the Approval from XiaoMi and I want to share with all users here. This works fine with Redmi Note 3 Pro Snapdragon and Special Edition versions under Marshmallow ROM.

Latest Special Edition Global Stable. Works 100%.
I tried it 3 days ago with the Global Stable MIUI 7 and if I flash the modified bootloader my Kate does not boot anymore.

Are you sure it will work for redmi note 3 pro snapdragon (kenzo)? Since there is no official marshmallow rom for Kenzo. Or could you direct me to the marshmallow rom for Kenzo.
This is the same as the old method on Lollipop MIUI, replacing emmc_appsboot.mbn with a hacked copy and flashing. I wouldn't call it a new method.

Can I use this emmc_appsboot.mbn file from that MM thread to install miui_6.9.9 recovery zip in safe_twrp recovery (I know,I'll have to flash SuperSu and lazy flasher after I flashed the MM recovery rom and after first boot) ?
Hi @andersonaragao,
Can you please update your tutorial on the miui forum? I'm stuck in the middle.
First, the latest MI Flash Tool from the link you provided does not have an Advanced button. Also, it can't find the device after reboot edl; one has to boot the phone into fastboot manually for it to be recognized.
I downloaded the one you used from http://obigota.d.miui.com/tools/MiPhone20151028.exe, which works as described.
Further, the ROMs provided by on http://en.miui.com/download-301.html#449 are zip files in which I can't find the .bat, .mdn and .xml files needed to configure MiFlash. Please explain or provide a link where a proper ROM can be downloaded.
Hope you can help me out here!

To answer my own question: Fastboot ROM can be found here: http://en.miui.com/thread-328019-1-1.html
when I tried to flash, it got stuck on patching system image unconditionally. and nothing happens. any idea how to solve this? I have tried flashing with TWRP, ALKA, Cofface, still no luck
I've tried this guide loads of times now and I'm always stuck with "FAILED (remote: oem unlock is not allowed)".
All the info regarding the problem mention to boot into the system and turn on oem unlock in the developer options. But I can't boot with the modified emmc_appsboot.mbn I only get the Mi logo flashing. I didn't enabled before, as written in the guide.
Any ideas?

Man I already did it many weeks back.
You know I have gone tired of telling this simple fact to everyone, but no one understands that this is the easiest way to installa custom recovery. Even a modified boot image or any modded file can be flashed before flashing the ROM. Only that for APK's, the MD5 checksum is mandate.
So,looks like no need to unlock officially or unofficially then lol.
Spread this post like virus bro,people are trying so hard to unlock their phones officially and at the end of process unlocks unoffiially and gets so much problems because of xiaomi's worst policy of unlocking.
this is really easy and intelligent stuff!

can't we just flash roms like cm13 etc straight from miflash with custom recovery included, as the guy on second post says? any more details on how to do this?

You can flash ONLY official MIUI Stable/Dev ROM using Mi Flash Tool
Has anyone confirmed this?
based on http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Bootloader you need to unlock bootloader since the bootloader will verify (and boot) kernel and recovery.
If this does work, can anyone provide an explanation why?
Wow. Can I use this method for flashing this recovery on Snapdragon device? http://forum.xda-developers.com/red...wrp-install-twrp-flash-supersu-t3462448/page1
Everything I need is a stable MIUI with root access and Xposed
Sent from my Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 using XDA Labs
Wow! That's awesome! After this can I flash superSU? If so, which version works best with global dev?
PS: What about OTAs? I supose this will break it, so how can I get MIUI g dev updates?
Sry for this bunch of questions.

Great stuff. Will give it a try once I am home.
My bootloader has never been unlocked. I am waiting for the unlock permission. Now, if I install TWRP using this method, will I be able to flash CM 13 or other kernels?
Worked perfect for me.
Installed zcx twrp + SuperSu with this method
Still at Miui 8 but maybe i switch to CM or another Custom Rom

is anyone have tried to flash custom rom with this method?

Hi @supercowz, could you please edit the original post?
I don't think official TWRP will work. From the guide, ZCX TWRP was used and you recommended Alka TWRP, which is cofface TWRP based. The common factor between these TWRP is that they are able to bypass dm-verity (built in in settings of ZCX TWRP, cofface based TWRP's flash cracked boot.img automatically). Also, it is important to boot to recovery after flashing the modified fastboot dev else it might cause bootloop. Also official TWRP might cause bootloop.
To all:
I'm still looking for the reason why this method might work. Based on concept, bootloader starts first before recovery so the bootloader will verify if correct recovery is installed before it boots the recovery. Only explanation I can think of is that MiFlash tool and/or fastboot DEV rom is able to fool bootloader that the flashed recovery is acceptable.
To those that have tried this, can you check if your bootloader is still locked? Thanks!

Hello XDA,
I have been using Samsung phones all my life , Rooted (odin) a lotta phones installed countless custom roms and finally i thought its time for pure android experience . I bought a moto g4 plus from a friend of mine and have been going through the g4 + forum for 2 days now . I have not got the slightest of idea how you root / install custom rom on this device . Its so different from how you do it on a Samsung device so finally I have decided to ask for your help .
Info I would like to share :
1.The boot loader is locked
2.The device is a XT1643
3. 3 GB / 32 GB
4. December 1 , 2017 security patch
5. NPJS25.93-14-13
6. There was a OTA update when I received the phone which I didn't update
As mentioned earlier It looks like I am a complete noob when it comes to this device and I would need all the possible help I can get .
If anybody would be kind enough to guide me through this initial learning phase I will be very grateful and would even share my whisky ( which I usually don't do )
If you need any more information please ask
Thanks and Regards

Hello Mate
As mentioned above I have been searching the forum for almost 2 days before I thought of asking for help . I did go through the thread( that you have mentioned ) earlier today but it looks a bit old to me . The link on how to flash twrp comes back with a 404 error . The last few posts are helpful (as it deals with the same build) but again as am new to the particular device It would be helpful if someone could give me a noob friendly procedure . I am not here to break the rules just trying to learn without bricking my device
Thanks and Regards

Flashing TWRP:
>>> Flashing TWRP or Rooting will void your warranty. Please ask anything before doing, if your not fully confident on what to be done. <<<
Get the TWRP image file from http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...p-twrp-3-0-2-2-recovery-moto-g4-plus-t3386586
Next, get the adb and mfastboot from https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5jlU9JnLAZGbVU0UzJ3N3p4X2M/view?usp=sharing
Unzip the file and place the image file inside the extracted folder.
Reboot to Bootloader (power off, then press the power and volume down buttons simultaneously).
Open a new command prompt or terminal window and do the following:
Code:
mfastboot flash recovery twrp_*version*_athene.img

Sorry for being so short earlier. We have quite a few members here who constantly post issues without using the search function.
You can try to post I quoted above to flash TWRP. It's fairly straight forward.
Are you planning on flashing a Nougat ROM or are you going the adventurous route and flashing an Oreo ROM? The TWRP version mentioned in the quoted post should be fine for flashing Nougat and 32-bit based Oreo ROMs, but you'll need 64-bit TWRP for 64-bit Oreo ROMs.
Use this as a reference for 32-bit and 64-bit Oreo ROMs: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/oreo-roms-table-t3717226
64-bit TWRP: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...recovery-twrp-3-2-1-unofficial-touch-t3722206
Once you've flashed TWRP, you can either flash different versions through TWRP itself or through the Play Store app.
As far as ROMs, I'd recommend Official Lineage OS 14.1 for Nougat: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/development/rom-cyanogenmod-14-1-t3522101
And I'd recommend Official AICP 13.1 for Oreo: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...om-aicp-13-1-o-8-1-0-official-weekly-t3731269 (You'll need to download the 20180212 build since most recent builds either have a broken camera or won't boot.)
Any other questions, don't hesitate to ask.

@Ragarianok
I am going to try the Oreo builds as I have never got a chance to try it on my previous devices so I guess I will be using a 64bit version of twrp.
This is what am planning to do :
1. Unlock the bootloader
2. Flash an official version of TWRP
2.a Take a backup
3. Flash a custom kernel through twrp
4. Flash Super Su / Magisk
5. Flash a 64 bit version of twrp using TWRP
6. Flash a custom ROM
Please correct me if I am wrong
Thanks a lot for the detailed guide
Thanks and Regards

If you want 64bit Oreo roms it's a little bit different
1. Unlock the bootloader
2. Flash a 64 bit version of twrp
2.a Take a backup and safe it off your phone
3. Flash a Oreo 64bit custom ROM
3.a flash gapps package arm64 (8.0 or 8.1 depending on rom version)
4. Flash magisk 15.3
If you want to root the stock nougat rom steps 1-4 of your list are correct.

Not quite. You'll want to go in this order:
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Flash TWRP
3. Backup
4. Wipe (Wipe/Advanced Wipe; ART/Dalvik, System, Data, Cache)
5. Flash ROM
6. Flash Gapps
7. Reboot
8. Go through setup wizard and let everything settle for ~10 minutes
9. Boot into TWRP and flash SuperSU or Magisk (I would suggest Magisk), then flash kernel and reboot
You'll need to flash the unofficial 64-bit TWRP mentioned in my previous post to flash a 64-bit Oreo ROM, otherwise you'll get an error message when flashing ROM.
You'll also need to use unofficial Gapps since there aren't any official Gapps for 8.1 just yet. I'd recommend either mini or micro here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/unofficial-opengapps-8-1/files/arm64/20180225/
You should be able to flash the most recent Magisk located here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/beta-magisk-v13-0-0980cb6-t3618589
If you do flash a custom kernel, I'd highly suggest Frostbitten: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...s-frostbitten-kernel-moto-g4-g4-plus-t3649155

If it was an OTA update, it looks likely to be more the February 2018 security patch rather than the January 2018 patch.

That is true, however for our devices we have generally been issued the same security patch level regardless of region. It may be different builds for particular regions (e.g NPJS25.93-14-13 for India, Brazil and EU, and NPJ25.93-14.7-3 for US) but they are both the December 2017 security patch.
Regardless, we've still yet to see an OTA newer than December.

Evening ,
Thanks For all the support i finally rooted MY phone
But
I ran into a bit of a problem " Sim Cards Not Detecting "
This is What i did
1. Unlocked My bootloader
2. flashed twrp-3.1.1-athene_shreps
3. Took a backup of everything
4. flashed ElementalX-G4-2.00.zip
5. flashed Magisk 16.0
reboot : No sim cards detected
After which I flashed lineage-14.1-20180219-nightly-athene-signed.zip and the gapps provided
experienced the same error again .
uninstalled magisk and flashed the latest Super Su (V2.82) with no positive results
not sure what went wrong ...is there any way out of it ?

First, I'm a little confused about the fact that you flashed that version of TWRP instead of the one located here: https://dl.twrp.me/athene/
Second, I've never had that happen when flashing, so I'm not really sure what to recommend. If I had to guess, I would say the best route would be to restore your backup and see if the SIM is detected.
I have found at least one thread with a similar issue; might be worth a look: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/fix-sim-card-issue-t3751679
Let us know what happens.

I went through that before posting my question .. the paper does not help .
Is it okey if I flash the twrp that you have mentioned over the existing twrp?
Thanks and regards

Edit : I have restored my backup but still the same issue.
Edit : flashed the official TWRP . still the same results
EDIT : After 3 hours + Countless reboots the issue solved on its own ... I am not sure what really happened.. lol

DISCLAIMER
Not taking responsibility if it goes wrong
Do not use this procedure if you have a higher bootloader version than Cx182, it will brick your device.
I made this because I didn't want to flash oreo -02 firmware only -03, and I know that both have the same bootloader and modem. I advice against this if you have -02, you should do it the proper way.
This guide works for both XT1635-02 and XT1635-03.
This was tested using XT1635-03 on a custom ROM.
Make sure you have adb enabled on your device.
You should not loose any data, and you will be able to boot back to the system without any problem.
This will update to the following:
Bootloader Version: Cx182
Modem Version: M8953_10238.63.04.83R
FSG Version: FSG-8953-04.118
Download Oreo stock signed image:
NOTE: This image is for XT1635-02, but for 2 times (from Marshmallow to Nougat, and from Nougat to Oreo I've used a XT1635-02 image on my XT1635-03 and it still works)

Unzip the downloaded zip into your adb folder.
Boot device into Bootloader/Fastboot Mode.
If you are not sure what are you doing, ask here or read fastboot documentation before flashing anything
Commands: Credits to @allrightlite
Code:
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
EDIT: OP says only use on -03. cool.
You are telling folks they can turn a 7 ROM into an 8 ROM.
1.82 bl is Oreo.
Ill advised if you flash to N ROM (?).
Ill advised to flash bl separate from ROM (?).
(EDIT - I really don't know to what extent you can mix them but may well be more than I know.)

You mean N stock right?
My suggestion is - don't mix bl and rom unless you really know what you are doing and are ready to deal with a brick situation. These are not legos. a different bl provides a different environment . A ROM expects/needs a certain environment to run correctly. The only okay mix I know of is Alberto97's 8.1AOSP which runs on a 7.x bl 0 but it was especially built to do so.

Okay! So if you look at the above posts you will see that twice I have taken the time to warn you against doing what you want to do. That's all I can do. The responsibility for what you do is yours alone. ANY ROM relies heavily on its support system/bl/environment. Change that and you will have an unknown situation. Stock ROMs, custom ROMs , soaktests, all need something to stand on that is designed for them.
Think physical building architecture for a minute. if I take a 100 story building off its foundation and drop it on another foundation, How likely do you think it would be to remain as strong as before? or just fall over?
going through re-editing this stuff and just saying again:
EDIT: I really don't know to what extent you can mix the contents of a 7 and 8 ROM.
Keep cool, that's working. Special thanks goes to Alberto97, who has tell us in his thread what we need. But thanks to TeamMax, too. He has confirmed, that we don't need OEM.img for custom ROMs (it's unused, so for treble/vendor). So, the 5 commands are working fine. Have tested here and no problems. Now on Android 9.0 thanks Treble

But I don't understand, the only thing I'm not flashing is system, which custom ROMs replace.
We already take a building and change foundations.

No
stock or custom use the same bl etc. The difference is between 7 and 8. You are taking stuff from 8 and putting it into a ROM built around 7.
again, just:
EDIT: I really don't know to what extent you can mix the contents of a 7 and 8 ROM.
OP edited OP to say only use on -03 , so, cool. You can sum up my comments in this thread to say "if you're on -02, know what you're doing and be able to unbrick yourself" - ignore the rest.
I think OP knows what te is doing for -03 (and maybe for -02 as well...! )
Apparently you are able to mix 7 and 8 - I just don't want to go on record for having said it and have someone brick their phone. But that is the direction of treble. Enjoy.
