Hi everyone
This is how to unlock and install TWRP (root too) the Huawei Honor 2
The root in this process is a partial root....since Xposed and some other root features wont work because the stock Jb roms are odexed.
Warning...this process was not tested on B8xx aka emui 2.0 firmwares
It will succesfully work on :
B1xx
B5xx
B7xx
Also....you cannot flash official firmwares with unlocked bootloader...so you need to relock it in oreder to reflash a rom with dload mod
Check "HOW TO LOCK/RELOCK BOOTLOADER" bellow
So first :
IM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BREAK YOUR PHONE
COMPLETLY DESTROYED YOUR SD CARD
OR SIM CARDS NOT WORKING
....Do this at your own risk
Links Bellow.
1/Unlock Bootloader
First you need the flash tool : Here (not my tool...only sharing)
You will also need the usb drivers. You can install Hisuit and it will automatilcally install the drivers you need.
When everything is ready...enable Usb debugging on your phone
Connect the device to your pc via usb and run the tool.
---Select option 1 (so insert 1 and press enter) to install the new fastboot partition, which is able to unlock your device if you install an unsigned kernel / recovery.
---Select option 2 if you haven’t enabled usb debugging, or if you have previously flashed an unsigned partition and now your device isn’t booting.
---Select option 3 to flash a custom kernel you have previously renamed to boot.img and put on your desktop. Do NOT use dd dumps : which means do NOT use boot.img you can find in flashable rom zips.
---Select option 4 to flash a custom recovery you have previously renamed to recovery.img and put on your desktop. Do NOT use dd dumps neither here.
---Select option 5 to check if bootloader is locked, unlocked or relocked.
Congratulation...your phone is unlocked !
2/INSTALL TWRP AND ROOT
TWRP Recovery : Gdrive
Alternative TWRP Recovery : Gdrive ( Use Ctrl + S) to download and keep them in the same folder
Now after unlocking the bootloader close the unlocktool and reboot the phone in fastboot mode
After that :
1/ IF you used the first link recovery Rename the file to recovery.img ...put it on the same folder and use the unlocking tool to flash it
2/ IF you used the 2nd link (Alternative recovery) you can just run flash.bat and it will do the work
after installing recovery :
go to wipe menu...then advanced and wipe only dalvik cache
now reboot
if your phone is rooted choose do NOT root and reboot
if yours is not rooted :
hit reboot button and the phone will install the root....now all you need to do is to update supersu from the playstore
DONE

HOW TO “RELOCK” BOOTLOADER
After your bootloader status is “unlocked”, if you want to flash a stock rom with dload method , you need to flash chinese recovery (not another one), then flash any of batty86 roms (or any other rom with both boot.img and reserved.img), let the device boot at least once, and the bootloader will be “relocked”; then you can install the original recovery and use the dload method again.

got a new link for the flash tool? thhanks
hello bro flash toool link not working
This Thread is discontinued so i decided to update the unlocking methode one more time
I've tried some things on my Xiaomi Redmi 3 Pro and I want to share them if helpful for someone.
I've done all this with Xiaomi.eu Rom and SMIUI
///// I'm not accountable for any problem on your phone, do it at your own risk! \\\\\
1 - Button combinations (unplugged from pc):
vol+ & vol- & power = force shutdown if in fastboot or download mode, if powered-on it's a restart
vol- & power = from switched-off phone goes in fastboot (from there you can launch another combination: vol+&vol- while launche cmd: fastboot.exe reboot)
vol+ & power = preload\ bootload mode (the yellow screen where to choose recovery\ fastboot\ download mode)
2 - For any type of problem \brick \ bootloop be sure before about this:
A) if you run the phone in fastboot mode, check if you can see it in fastboot command line from pc (cmd: fastboot devices)
B) if you run the phone in download mode, check if you can see it from miflash
If these point are ok this means the pc is ready to see the phone if you softbrick it or it goes in bootloop.
You will be always able to run it in fastboot mode, then download mode, an flash any rom to the phone that works.
3 - What you need?
Install last version of MiFlash, here a guide: http://en.miui.com/thread-272376-1-1.html
Install MiPCSuite in english, here the link: http://pcsuite.mi.com/
If you have problems with ADB, install ADB drivers, here the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48915118#post48915118 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
If you have problems with hs-usb qdloader 9008 driver, try to install from here: http://www.androidbrick.com/download/qdloader-hs-usb-driver/
Download and upack Android.Image.Kitchen for Windows, from here: https://mega.nz/#!McAj2SZT!E4XS7II27BjkjSHS2vcBnE6Tgvl8IZBhCD2wEKBchpA
Download TWRP 3.0.2.0 for MiFlash: https://mega.nz/#!cF4VVQiY!zrq2DTQRBX3UHRPOXN1dDNWiTn5tnoPxUfrHF_Rsnq4
Download ROM from different links:
http://en.miui.com/a-234.html (miui china stock, BL Locked)
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=36337 (Xiaomi.eu with Gapps, no Bloatware, BL unlocked)
http://smiui.net/kitchen.php(Xiaomi.eu + other stuff)
Install Notepad++
4 - Prepare ROM:
As suggested by the user Jack0190 there are ROMS where is not needed to mod this files, like for "Xiaomi redmi3 pro locked multilanguage" roms.
Searching on web you can find them quickly, just be aware that there are some roms that have problems with SIM recognize. This comes from an old Thai \ Indian MIUI.
I've seen first this thread on en.miui, http://en.miui.com/thread-276565-1-1.html , where explains how to modify ROM to change the bootloader check. The guide explains very good how to modify the "boot.img" file of roms.
So just follow those steps.
I've seen that you can do it for both types of rom, for Recovery and MiFlash too.
For the recovery ROM, you have a file to open in 7Zip, copy the "boot.img" from it, modify it as explained in the guide, and re-copy in the zip file again.
While for the one for Miflash, it's easier; extract the rom, copy the "boot.img" file from \image folder, modify it with, and change it in the original folder. Then flash it with Miflash.
5 - Connect phone in Fastboot with pc:
One thing that always will save you is the ability to connect phone in fastboot mode.
Before start the phone in fastboot mode with cable unplugged (point 1).
Once you've installed Miflash, go on it's directory folder (C:\Program Files\Xiaomi\MiPhone\), and run cmd from there (shift+right mouse click).
Connect phone to pc.
Then run command "fastboot.exe devices" and if the result under the line on left is a code, the phone is recognized
6 - Force Download Mode from fastboot:
To force the phone to go in dowload mode, first run it in fastboot (point 5), check if it's recognized (point 2-A), then type but don't run command "fastboot.exe reboot".
Now push vol+ & vol- in the same time, and now run the command.
If it runs in the right mode, you can see it's connected by device manager under "Ports (COM &LPT)" section.
You will see "qdloader 9008 driver" with a COM port installed. The same port you will see in Miflash if you run it and push the "refresh button".
7 - Flash Job:
A) First you need to flash the recovery, TWRP, and to do this you should already have done this things:
Install Miflash, MiPcSuit
Your phone is right seen in fastboot and in Miflash in download mode.
You have downloaded the right versione of TWRP for MiFlash.
B) Flash TWRP with Miflash
Select in Miflash the button "Browse" and go to the folder "\Image"where you have extracted the TWRP zip
Click "Refresh"
Click "Flash"
Wait to complete (If it fails sending hello packets, it's because it's too much time the phone is in download mode, in this case, switch it off, e restart in Download mode and re-do all )
C) Copy modified ROM:
Now, I've done this step by OTG connection but there are more ways to do it:
Connec and mount an USB Drive in OTG
Push it by ADB
Copy it by SD card
If the old ROM still works, copy it in MTP connection
if none of this options is available, flash the Rom with Miflash, flash again TWRP recovery, run recovery, wipe cache and dalvik (factory reset option under "Wipe") and try to run system, it should run last system flashed.
D) Flash modified rom by recovery
E) Restart in system (It could take long time, even 10 minutes, so just wait for it)
Thanks to all users\ people helped me with different guides from XDA and other forums.
I' m sorry for no image, but it's not an official guide.
If something is wrong I'll change it asap, but don't blame me, these are just advices.
If it's not enough clear, search it on web.
If there are grammar errors, the Image verification confirms "I'm not a robot"
If you don't find the answer, then it's 42.
After mod, i can flash rom update from recovery?
Inviato dal mio GT-I9505 utilizzando Tapatalk
Just wanted to say thank you - This guide works. I tried it with a new redmi 3 pro with locked bootloader. You can skip step 4 if you want to, because there are some prepared images available (search for "xiaomi redmi3 pro locked multilanguage" and you will find them).
Also to note: The first boot of the new system took some long time (~ 10-minutes), so don't get frustrated. As long as there's the android logo with the three dots wandering around, everything should work fine.

not sure about this, I've flashed the last version available, so i don't have updates for now to test.
But i think that it could overwrite files modified.
This is what in some guides tells.

Thanks to you, I've updated with what told. I've tried some of ROMs for locked bootloader, but was an Indian \ Thai version, and I had issues with SIM, no recognize.
That's why it was needed for me to use other rom for unlocked bootloader.
Hi, thanks for the guide. It seems like it'd be the only decent I could come across for my problem.
The only thing is that everytime I try to flash any ROM/image through MiFlash, I get the error:
Code:
Error loading type libary/DLL.(0x80029c4a: wait port ready to use <time in seconds>)
So far I haven't found anything or anyone that could help me with this. Can any of you help me out here? That'd be much appreciated.
Thanks~

::Edit::
Alright, turns out I just had to do this:
1. Uninstall the Qualcomm drivers
2. Reboot Windows into "test mode"/Disabled driver signature enforcement
3. Reinstall the Qualcomm drivers
4. Flash device (phone in download mode)
5. Be very pacient. Waiting through the phone's boot phase
(took about 10 minutes; if it takes more than 15 minutes, then something is probably wrong. Try to enter download mode and flash it again.)
6. Redmi 3 working again
Okay, so, this worked for me, it doesn't mean it'll necessarily work for you!
This was done with a locked bootloader and MiFlash 2015.10.28.0
How to Unlock bootloader + flash twrp recovery + root and install SuperSu in Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 (Snapdragon) without waiting for permission on the Latest MIUI 8 - V8.0.6.0.LHOMIDG. (as of 22-11-16)
Here you have the step by step procedures to successfully unlock your Redmi Note 3 SnapDragon global variant with latest global stable rom MIUI 8. Please follow the steps carefully.
The rom used for this procedure is the latest global stable fastboot rom MIUI V8.0.6.0.LHOMIDG.
This is the working guide for the Xiaomi redmi note 3 (SD) on latest MIUI 8.0.6.0 as on 22-11-2016. I did lots of experiments, bricked my device several times to find this working guide for latest rom, however you are free to link to this page for reference.
You dont need to apply for official unlocking and wait for a month or more to get the sms confirmation from xiaomi to officially unlock the bootloader, the problem with the official method is many users have reported that they did not receive the confirmation sms from xiaomi, even if they receive the confirmation sms the unlocking process stucks at some percentage and fails to unlock the bootloader. So for everyone here is the easy way to Unlock bootloader + flash twrp recovery + root and install SuperSu in Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 (Snapdragon) without waiting for permission.
First of all take a backup of all important files from your phone to your PC before starting. Because all data will be formatted while flashing the rom.
I have simplified most of the procedures and complicated works for this guide. A good part of the credit goes to some other developers because their works were helpful to me for experimenting to find this working full unlocking guide for the latest miui rom for redmi note 3 (SD) as of 22-11-2016.
REQUIREMENTS:
Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 (SD) Mobile
Micro USB data cable (or) compatible usb cable
Desktop or Laptop (Widows based)
Download all the tools, rom and other files from this androidfilehost folder link and keep all files in one folder for easy access:

***Carefully remove your sim card & sd card from mobile (if inserted) before you begin and do not connect to internet until all steps are completed, because the phone would automatically sync with Xiaomi servers at first boot and may cause problems.
Make sure your phone is charged 60% and above.
The complete video go through of step by step procedures in this guide is available in this YouTube video,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rj4gVMk3y0o
FOLLOW THE STEPS CAREFULLY, IF YOU FACE ANY TROUBLE, START OVER AGAIN FROM STEP 1, IF YOU FACE ANY OTHER ERROR OR BOOTLOOP OR STUCK IN LOGO LOOK AT THE TROUBLE SHOOT SECTION AT THE BOTTOM.
Step 1:
Enable Usb Debugging, if not done before:
Open Settings in your device"Redmi note 3 (SD)", scroll to bottom in settings and click on "About phone" and now tap on MIUI version 7 times, it will show a message like "You are now a developer" and Developer options will be revealed.
Next go back to Settings main screen and then -> Additional settings -> Developer options -> Enable Developer options, Enable OEM Unlock, Usb Debugging.

}
Note: After that when you connect your phone to the Pc to execute adb commands, a prompt may appear on your phone with computer's fingerprint key, you should confirm it when it appears. In case if you already done this for your computer with proper adb drivers installed, you don't need to bother about this.
Step 2:
DISABLE DRIVER SIGNATURE ENFORCEMENT IN YOUR PC:
You now have to disable driver signature enforcement in your PC, to do this you have to open the settings window by pressing the shortcuts"Windows button + i -> Update & Security -> Recovery -> Advanced startup -> Restart now. Now the system will logout and show Recovery options, from there select Troubleshoot -> Startup Settings in Advanced options -> Restart. Your system will now reboot and show the "Startup settings" screen, a list of options will be available, you have to choose option number 7 to disable driver signature enforcement. Then the system will boot into the OS with driver signature enforcement disabled. After that do not restart your pc until all the below steps are completed, in case if you restart your pc for any reason you need to redo this step again because system reboot might enable driver signature enforcement again. That's it. Refer this video if you need further guidance.
Step 3:
To install ADB, Fastboot and other drivers in your PC:
Install the " minimal_adb_fastboot_v1.4_setup _working " file downloaded from the link I provided above. If any security prompts appear on your screen, allow all prompts.
Install the " MiPcSuiteSetup_v3.2.1.3111_2717.exe " file downloaded from the link I provided above. If any security prompts appear on your screen, allow all prompts.
Install the " MiFLash_v2016.08.30.0.zip " file downloaded from the link I provided above. If any security prompts appear on your screen, allow all prompts.
Step 4:
Extract AnF.zip file and execute the commands:
Now extract the "AnF.zip" file downloaded from the link I provided above. Connect your phone to Pc using the Usb cable. Open the extracted AnF folder and double click on the cmd.exe file, which will open a adb command window from there.
Execute the below command through adb command window to check and confirm the phone is connected via adb interface. If connected properly it should show device serial like "******** device"
adb devices
Incase if your phone shows a prompt for computer's fingerprint key approval, allow it. Then execute the command again. You should see your phone serial number as shown in the image below, which means your phone is properly connected via adb. Incase if the device is not connect properly via adb, disable and enable USB debugging on your phone. If that also helping to install the phone's adb drivers, extract and run the"ADBdriversetup.zip" downloaded from the link I provided above to install the specific drivers for your phone.
Step 5:
Reboot the phone to EDL mode:
Now you have to reboot your phone to edl mode aka Emergency download mode. To do this execute the below command via adb window with phone still connected to Pc.
adb reboot edl
Your phone will now reboot into blank screen or edl mode and new driver named "qshusb qloader 9008" will be installed in your Pc, now only red led notification light will be blinking on your phone. Once the driver is installed properly, the phone is now connected in edl mode. Now close the adb command window.
Step 6:
Setup MiFlash Tool & Flash the ROM:
Open the MiFlash tool (MiFLash_v2016.08.30.0.zip) application you installed earlier, click refresh button and your phone will be visible as port number (ex: COM10) in MiFlash tool. Exe file is in this path,"C:\Xiaomi\XiaoMiFlash"
Now extract the "kenzo_global_images_V8.0.6.0.LHOMIDG PreRooted by SUBI.tgz" fastboot rom file downloaded from the link I provided above. In your MiFlash tool window, click the Browse button and locate the extracted fastboot rom folder. Then select "clean all" button at the bottom of MiFlash window. The flash tool is now configured. Now click the Flash button.
Wait for few minutes for the flashing process to complete, once the process is complete and MiFlash tool window will show task finished. But do not disconnect the phone.
Step 7:
Reboot to Fastboot mode & execute Fastboot commands:
Now while the phone is still connected to your pc, reboot your phone to fastboot mode by pressing Volume down button and Power button simultaneously until you see the boot screen and release, the phone will now enter into fastboot mode.
Now double click and open the cmd.exe file from AnF folder you extracted earlier to open the command window. Then execute the below command.
fastboot oem device-info
This command will show you the current bootloader status. The bootloader status shows "Device Unlocked: False", execute the below command in command widow, it will Unlock the bootloader.
fastboot oem unlock-go
Your device might restart now, if restarts press Volume down button and Power button simultaneously to reboot phone to fastboot mode again to check your bootloader status again by executing the below command. It should show "Device Unlocked: True" in the command window. Which means the device's bootloader is unlocked.
fastboot oem device-info
Now to flash TWRP recovery and Supersu for root permissions, jump to step 8, or if your aim is to unlock the bootloader only, you may restart your phone and skip all below steps.
Step 8:
Flash TWRP:
Now restart phone to fastboot mode by pressing Volume down button and Power button simultaneously until you see the fastboot screen.
Extract the "twrp-3.0.2-2-kenzo for Redmi Note 3 _SD.zip" file downloaded from the link I provided above to the AnF folder.
Then open the AnF folder, double click and open the cmd.exe file, paste the below command in the command window to flash twrp recovery.
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-2-kenzo.img
After flashing the recovery image reboot the phone to TWRP recovery by pressing Volume Up button and Power button simultaneously until you see the boot screen. It will boot the phone into TWRP recovery, on the front screen just swipe the slider to mount system as read only. That's it now to flash supersu proceed to step 9.
Step 9:
Flash SuperSu:
While the phone is in TWRP recovery connect the phone to Pc, it will be detected as mass storage device, just copy the "SR1-SuperSU-v2.78-SR1-20160915123031.zip" file downloaded from the link I provided above to your phone's mass storage device.
On the twrp menu click on Install option and locate the "SR1-SuperSU-v2.78-SR1-20160915123031.zip" to install via twrp, now swipe the slider to right to install supersu to have root access in your phone's OS and then wipe dalvik cache using the button below in twrp.
If twrp shows any read/write error while flashing supersu, on the twrp mainscreen choose mount option and click on system in the next menu, then go back to main screen and try again to install.
That's it, now supersu is installed, to check the root status follow to step 10.
Step 10:
Check root status:
After completing all the steps successfully, reboot the phone into the system normally and complete the initial setup without Sim card, the first boot may take a little more time to boot into OS, In case if the phone stuck in boot screen for very long(10+ mins), go to troubleshoot section at the bottom and start over the steps. Otherwise you are good to go.
Connect device to Pc after initial setup completes, now copy the "Root Checker.apk" file to your phone and install it, open the root checker app and click on verify root, you will be prompted by Supersu for root permission, allow it, your root access will be verified. Voila, you have successfully rooted, flashed twrp and installed supersu on your Redmi Note 3 with latest rom installed.
That's it. Now you are ready to rock.
KNOWN ISSUES:
No issues found so far, in case if you find any issues after successfully unlocking using the above method, kindly let me know.
After successfully unlocking your bootloader, incase if you update your rom via official updates, your will lose root access and twrp custom recovery and may end up with locked bootloader again, if you face this situation by some reason, you may start over and follow this guide from step 1 to revert back to unlocked bootloader. Do not update the rom and turn off automatic updates in settings as a precautionary measure.
Troubleshoot:
If your device gets bricked or Stuck in Boot logo, try this,
Reboot your phone into edl mode by following below step.
If you are stuck on bootscreen, you may not be able to enter into edl mode using the normal method above because of bootloop or Stuck in Boot logo, in that case try this method to enter into edl mode from fastboot, download "fastboot_edl.zip" file from the link I provided above, extract the zip file and open the extracted folder, connect the phone to your Pc in fastboot mode(vol down + power), double click and run this file "edl.cmd", the phone will automatically enter into edl mode if the phone's drivers and adb drivers are installed properly.Now follow step 6 and follow on from this step.
If QHUSB_BULK drivers are not properly installed while the phone in edl mode,
If QHUSB_BULK drivers are not installed while the phone in edl mode, your device may not be visible in MiFlash tool(ex:COM10) even after you click refresh button, in this case open the device manager in your Pc, the phone will be visible as QHUSB_BULK with some alert sign, right click on it and select Update driver software. Then click browse my computer and browse to the location of the driver files in path "C:\Program Files\Xiaomi\MiPhone\Qualcomm\Driver" and proceed and when prompted to Install this Driver Software anyway, allow it and complete the driver installation. Now open MiFash tool and click refresh button your device will be detected in MiFash tool, now you can flash the fastboot rom by following the steps above.
Does this work for Kate version also? OP doesn't specify
Will I lose my warranty by using this method of bootloader unlock?
This method still works for Global Snapdragon phone. Finally got it last night after 2 days of torture (I didn't sleep).
The important part is firstly the image with the modified file you are going to flash to the phone. Here he is using v8.0.6.0 which is the newest (and now last) update for android 5.1 (which is needed, phone will not flash 6.0 without a proper Cache and data clear). I ended up using version 7.3.2.0 which is 1 patch before the version my phone came with (7.3.7.0). Then I replaced emmc_appsboot.mbn with the one from here then flashed the file in EDL mode.
After the flash is done is just as important I found. You place it in fastboot mode (power button + vol down) and run a script. I wasn't able to manually unlock the device via cmd line 'fastboot oem unlock-go'. Instead I found a script that worked from here called 'Root_Folder' (this site also has majority of the files needed). You use the script called 'Root' in the folder to finish the unlock. Notice there is a 'recovery.img' in the folder as well, I replaced it with ZCX TWRP.
Now run through the script after the flash in fastboot mode. Follow the instructions from script, sometimes you take cable out or force phone back into fastboot mode. The key goal here is to have the script boot into TWRP in the end. If this happens you can do all that's needed now.
Another thing I noticed was you have to give debug permission to computer your using and save permission. Debug mode/oem unlock - connect cable, on phone you should get a prompt to accept PC and save permission. If you don't get this prompt make sure you have ADB and Fastboot installed.
Important steps are:
1. Phone connect to computer via debug/oem mode.
2. Flash correct modified ROM with MiFlash in EDL mode.
3. Once flash is done hold power and volume down button for fastboot mode.
4. Run script to attempt to unlock bootloader and/or install TWRP.

You would have to look it up for Kate specifically. If anything at all that changes it's the Image you use to flash the phone.

Don't think so. You don't 'officially unlock it' and you can flash a stock image that relocks the phone automatically.
Thank you works 100% !!!! :laugh:
After booting to TWRP it's asking me for a decrypt password and I cannot mount any partitions. Then I tried rebooting but phone is stuck on MI logo.

Can you boot back into TWRP? If not you'll have to reinstall from EDL mode and try to unlock bootloader again.
A decrypt password to access any of the internal storage? Did you have a password with last install of MIUI? Also boot into fastboot and see if your bootloader is unlocked with 'fastboot oem device-info'. If your bootloader is unlocked, you might have to reformat data files on phone, which will wipe system completely and remove encryption.
Oh you probably also need to put a SD card into the device to use to flash from, if your flashing a new ROM. You have to wipe main system with advance wipe, wipe everything but internal storage and micro sdcard (in TWRP).

Yes Praw Zoll, you can use this method for your device, I have tested this method working on Redmi Note 3 pro or Kenzo or Snapdragon variant.
You can also refer this miui thread for this same method with images and video, en.miui(dot)com/thread-461694-1-1.html

This method is for Redmi Note 3 pro, (Kenzo) variant.
can i use it for global stable 8.2.3 ??
The heart of this - the unofficial bootloader unlock - are taken from: http://en.miui.com/thread-345728-1-1.html (It's generally polite to link your sources).
This _does_ work on `kate`. However, this is using a modified 'emmc_appsboot.mbn'. If you flash an original emmc_appsboot.mbn, you may well find your bootloader no longer unlocked and you needing to reflash your device back to stock.
Also, for those wanting to use it on kate (because Xiaomi seems singularly incompetent when it comes to supporting the official bootloader unlock for that devcie): your device will identify itself as a kenzo, so you may have trouble flashing things like the 'miuifirmware_x.zip' updates for kate. Also, those 'miuifirmware_x.zip' files often include the emmc_appsboot.mbn, so be careful.
On another note, if anyone has an actual infallible method to get an official bootloader unlock for the kate device, please let me know.
Can I use this method for 2GB / 16 GB version of Redmi Note 3 Pro (Snapdragon)?
Thanks
Works Thanks
Tested On 18/05/17
This method works But You are stuck on a older rom with no OTA/Later Updates. Method Does not work with MM Roms.(Maybe with different emmc_appsboot.mbn it would work.
Some Pointers
I was on MIUI8 before using this.
1. This downgrades your ROM from the latest ROM, therefore Points to follow.
2. Use This Method Instead Works with latest firmware as on date.
Works, Simply Nicely Perfectly Done, Just follow the steps things will never goes wrong. :highfive:

You have flashed a recovery rom and that's why you are in bootloop.
Try to flash in EDL mode a fastboot rom.
PS: Hope you haven't tried to downgrade already because you can loose IMEI and baseband.

Plz tell me how to bypass safetynet check using supersu. Thanks in advance.
steps added to revert to complete stock oos 4.5.0 in op
Great job @hypergamer1231 finally!
How's Oreo been running for you?
I had no issues for few days, then one day my phone suddenly powered off, and after that I couldn't do anything, even restore my own TWRP backup.
So I had to go back to MSM tool.
Not sure if I want to go through that again especially when I need my phone the most.
---------- Post added at 04:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:45 AM ----------
Magisk doesn't work yet, only SU.
Hey thank you. I moved back to OOS too but I didn't have any major issues. Its just that my banking app was not working on that ROM.

Hey guys, Today I am creating a Guide on How to Convert Mi A2 to Mi 6X without triggering ARB.
This guide is based on Guide by @yunusasik(Telegram : @dejavutr ) so All credit goes to Him.
First of All Download the Convert.zip from here
All files needed to be replaced have already been replaced in convert.zip.
Then, Follow the Following Steps to Flash Mi 6X Firmware on your A2
First Make Sure you already unlocked bootloader flashing and flashing critical ("fastboot flashing unlock" and "fastboot flashing unlock_critical")
1) Install Qualcomm Driver (next next next) (Also Windows update can do this trick when you plug )
2) Install QPST (use setup from the QPST Alternative folder. )
(find QFİLL on start menu or qpst installed directory), open QFİLL from start menu or opst installed folder.
3) Select Flat Build Mode
Select Programmer File prog_emmc_firehose_Sdm660_ddr.elf ( already changed no arb risk )
Select XML files rawprogram0 and patch0.xml
4) Put the phone on the edl mode
navigate to ADB Folder and Open tikla.bat, it will open command windows in that directory.
Use "fastboot oem edl" command to Enter "Emergency Download Mode ( EDL )"
Press Download
When install finish. Power up the phone.
MIUI 9 Ready to BOOT (First boot may take time you can hard reset via pressing vol up - down and power together )
5) You dont need to setup miui 9 just go fastboot again (vol down + power ( when phone closed ) )
From this section you can either install MIUI 10 (OREO) or Custom ROM ( Which one you want )
Guide will be Resume about flashing MIUI 10 ( OREO )
Flash TWRP
" fastboot flash recovery twrpwayne.img "

" No need for gapps "
If you want root Flash Magisk.
Welcome to MIUI 10 without arb
You can use MiFlash Tool 2016 64Bit only this one works good others may stuck sometimes and risky because if you unplug when installing you have to use test point method for saving phone.
You can enable camera2api with "Camera2api enabler" on play store (ONLY MIUI 10 OREO)
If qfill installation somehow corrupt use "QPST Alternative" folder or Miflash from above

Flash Magisk if you want root
Reboot to system
Welcome to MIUI 10 Pie
You can check new mıuı eu updates from here.
For enabling camera2api on MIUI 10 Pie you have to edit build prop download this application from play store

Flash stock rom via QFİLL with same method (Select .ddr and xml files from stock rom folder) and power up.
Done.
(If you have wifi camera or splash screen problems. Flash stockrom with miflash on fastboot (vol down + power ) again.)
(Alternative) You can use MiFlash Tool 2016 64Bit to convert back.
