yeah will surely report, but can you tell me how exactly do i go back to the previously locked state, like do i have to replace twrp with something else, and do some other changes?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sudeep Duhoon:
You have to flash fastboot rom with locked bootloader.

Just download the latest fastboot rom and flash it with mi flash tools. Do not change any file.

All data will be wiped. So make a backup before.

Okay i am back with my report ,

like an idiot i flashed the unmodified global rom through twrp and bricked my device :'(

thanks to you and a few others posts on the unbrick thread i was able to unbrick it yay

okay so now i updated to the latest 7.3.2 global stable with locked bootloader and tried the official unlock process but unfortunately ended with a "coudnt verify device" bummer :crying:

tried many methods of different people but i still coudnt get past the error
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sudeep Duhoon:
NO do not even try this on mediatek. This is for Kenzo snapdragon.

I have not tried on 32bit system but as I have read in many posts it will not work. So better be sure than sorry. Try to find a 64bit system.

As the system gets mounted read only, it will replace with stock recovery.

1. Flash fastboot 7.1.8 rom with unlocked bootloader.

2. Boot to fastboot and unlock bootloader using fastboot commands given.

3. Flash twrp from fastboot.

4. Boot to twrp.

5. Mount system as ready only when asked and make a system+boot backup.

6. Flash the modified Ota package one after another till you get to the version desired.

7. Make a system+boot backup again.

8. From Mount option for enable mount system as read/write.

9. Flash any zips you want including supersu and patched boot.img

10. Power off. Then switch on.

You have to apply Ota on unrooted system with stock boot.img. Do not rush, read the guide everything is explained there stepwise. Try the steps mentioned above.

Same with me. Tried on globe stable,china stable and China dev Roms.

Did you tried it without any locks or/and fingerprints enabled?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] italosnt:

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pumpino:
I have two questions. I suspect they've been asked before, but I can't find clear answers.

I previously obtained unlocking permission from Xiaomi for the MediaTek variant. I unlocked the bootloader but later sold the phone. I've just purchased the Snapdragon variant and it will be delivered next week. When I log into my Mi account, it says I have unlocking permission. If I want to unlock the new handset through Xiaomi, will I somehow need to apply again, given it's with a different device?

Secondly, is there any difference in the outcome between unlocking the bootloader officially and unofficially?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] awalysis:
[MENTION=4913907]Sudeep Duhoon[/MENTION] please I lil more explanation, I have unofficially unlocked and rooted 7.2.5 with Twrp. How do I flash the 7.3.2 via Twrp, I have downloaded the ota from 7.2.5 to 7.3.2 already.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sudeep Duhoon:
You have to flash stock unrooted 7.2.5 rom then you can apply update.

I don't think you will need to reply yet this question should be asked to Xiaomi.

Yes there is big difference. Official unlock will give you freedom to flash any Roms through recovery/fastboot and your bootloader will not be relocked. Also if you get in trouble you can use fastboot mode to reflash it. But if unofficially unlocked you have to edit rom zips to remove emmc aboot otherwise it will bootloop and with locked bootloader.

I officially unlocked on China stable, the day before yesterday.

1. Flashed China stable using edl.

2. Setup the first boot connected to wifi logged in account removed fingerprint/pin.

3. Logged in I.mi.com and removed other offline redmi note 3.

4. Used locate to find the online one.

5. Rebooted to fastboot. Logged-in in unlocking tool using account id not email id or phone no.

6. Profit.

Hi Sudeep,

After multiple try and suggestions provided by you, I am on 7.2.3 with rooted one.

Now i want to update my RM3 on 7.3.2 latest version, including with TWRP & Root.

I followed your steps but not able to understand.

And from where i can download 7.3.2 version.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sudeep Duhoon:
Read before you post. The answer is already given just above your post.

You have to be on unrooted 7.2.3 to flash 7.3.2 Ota.

Read the guide how to flash future Ota.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pumpino:
To answer my own question to help others, I was able to unlock the Snapdragon handset using the same Mi account, without reapplying for permission.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sudeep Duhoon:
Yes. Me too. Just had to wait few days after receiving sms (permission).
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pumpino:
What I'm saying is that for my second handset, I didn't need to verify it, so there was no SMS, etc. I simply logged into my Mi Account on the phone, rebooted into fastboot mode and then used the unlock tool successfully.

You can use unlocked_emmc_appsboot.mbn for 7.3.2 directly (I have found it on internet not made it. But I tested it) and then unlock it

This thread is just save my time for unlock bootloader.. Nice tutorial sir.. Work great here..
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sudeep Duhoon:
No. You ave to edit rom's zip and replace emmc_appsboot with unlocked one otherwise you will bootloop and only fix will be to open cover and connect pins to get to edl mode and flash fastboot rom.

Glad it worked for you. Hit thanx if i deserve it. :)

Firstly, kudos and thank you very much for making this thread. Last night I succeeded to flash, unlock and root 7.3.2 from 7.1.18 in the first attempt, everything is so far so good.

On the other hand, I received official unlock permission from Xiaomi this morning, took about 2 days. I want to unlock my RN3 officially now, so do I need to reflash stock 7.3.2 before using the official unlock tool? What do I have to do, thank you in advance.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sudeep Duhoon:
Make a backup in twrp in external sd.

Copy everything from internal sd to a safe place.

Flash stock fastboot rom using mi flash tool.(this will relock bootloader)

Use mi unlock tool to unlock. Click reboot phone in unlock tool.

Once miui boots up, reboot phone to fastboot.

Flash twrp using fastboot command "fastboot flash recovery 'recovery name.img'"

Then reboot to twrp and restore your backup.

DO NOT USE MODDED EMMC_APPSBOOT AFTER OFFICIAL UNLOCK.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sudeep Duhoon:
Will provide the recovery I am using (based on twrp 3.0.2-2 tomorrow.

Dropbox or mediafire?

Did you followed the whole guide?

Otherwise system will not boot as the boot.img 'verifies' alterations at boot. If you have unlocked officially, no need to patch.

Use the newer unlocked emmc_appsboot provided in the guide for that notification blink fix.

To best of my knowledge, yes you may have to patch boot.img and you must replace unlocked emmc_appsboot in the rom zip. This question, you should ask to Roms dev.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Hukkijer:
Hello guys,

for starters thank you Sudeep Duhoon for this very straightforward guide ! Yesterday i was working to root my RN3 and this guide took me from start to finish flawlessly!

However, i would like to ask that did i made a mistake/ did'nt follow the guide properly, because the situation after unlocking BL and installing TWRP+ SuperSU my Wifi and bluetooth connection doesn't work any longer, despite the fact that my mobile data works flawlessly?

The wifi-connection will first start, but soon after it keeps saying "obtaining ip-address" and i have tried several different wifi-routers without success as well as i have reseted the network settings and nothing changes...

What i did whas unlock the BL, install TWRP and flash SuperSU but i didn't flash the OTA, after that when i tried to use the Wifi or bluetooth it didn't connect. Please let me know if i can provide more specific details, and sorry if this is the wrong topic to ask this question!

I'm ok with dropbox links. Thanks for the help :) What's the difference with the recovery that you're using? Does it always ask whether to use r or rw?

---------- Post added at 11:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:09 AM ----------

Just curious if I want to flash another ROM and I would like to backup 7.3.2 stock, how do I go about doing the backup of the stock?

I.e. Do I need to backup everything

- System

- Data

- Cache

- Cust

- Recovery

- Boot

- EFS

- Persist

Say I'm in TWRP recovery (Read Only mode), if I choose Recovery for backup, does it backup the stock recovery or the TWRP recovery? Or I just have to backup System + Boot and when coming back from another rom, I just recover System + Boot?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] timberwolf60:
Generally you needed to babkup system, data, boot and enf. I also system mount as read, but when I during restore, I need to mount rw else you can't restoring.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sudeep Duhoon:
1. Which miui version are you on?

2. Did you tried factory reset?

3. What root granted apps you are using?

Here you go.

http://www.mediafire.com/?c13tzk1unabz9

Updated in op too.

As noriyuki_fariz replied first I uploaded on mediafire, hope you don't mind.

http://www.mediafire.com/?c13tzk1unabz9

Fstabs are edited to backup more partition in this version.

Every twrp will ask to use r/rw if you have not ticked not to ask option in the first place.

It is always preferred to backup everything but the partitions you want to backup depends on the purpose of backup.

For example.

I need to test a mod which I am flashing on system (v4a) I will backup system only.

I need to flash a different rom just to test it and revert back to current rom after that. I will backup system boot data.

I need to flash android 6 rom on miui 7. I will backup everything, every single partition.

I want to flash another rom and stay on that, I will backup system data boot and will delete this backup after successful flashing.

If you are on same android version (android 5 to 5,and 6 to 6) restoring system+boot will give you a Bootable rom. But if the version is different (android 5 to 6 or 6 to 5) you have to restore everything except firmware.

Alka recovery is nit recommend as it automatically flashes boot.img patcher which breaks ota updates in most of the cases. Instead, after applying ota, make a system+boot.img backup and flash boot.img patcher (which is extracted from alka recovery) to get a Bootable system.

The result will be same, only difference is, you will get a stock boot.img which can be used to flash future ota.

Ps. Adding boot.img patcher and emmc_appsboot flasher to op. Guide will be re-written in few days.

WiFi and Fingerprint sensors stopped working after flashing OTA

My Redmi Note 3 is rooted, the bootloader was unlocked unofficially via fastboot method. I followed the steps provided by Sudeep to flash 7.3.5.0 OTA. I managed to root the device again by flashing supersu.zip. The OTA was 7.3.5.0 stable .zip. The patched boot.img was from the fastboot rom. I flashed the patched boot.img after flashing the ROM. Is this what is apparently causing the WiFi and fingerprint sensor problems. Please reply soon.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mexigga:
Instead of flooding the bootloader thread, I humbly ask for anyone's help in getting my N4 rooted so that I can unlock the bootloader.

1. I am able to use Kingroot to obtain temp root

2A. I open Root Checker and N4 reboots

OR

2B. Root checker OK then I get to ADB and enter a push command, the N4 reboots

This is where I am stuck.:confused:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coledeb:
Bootloader

I have my boot loader unlocked and twrp flashed successfully using king root. I used version 4.8.5 to do it. Basically it's kind of a hit or miss of how long the temp root stays until the phone either freezes or reboots (in my experience). I have attempted this process multiple times and it doesn't seem to hurt the device if the device freezes while I am executing adb commands.

The process that I did was hook up the Note 4 to my pc, then verify in adb that the phone was showing up. I then followed the adb command "adb push samsung_unlock_n4-2 /data/local/tmp/" as it doesn't require root to copy the file to the phone. Then I used king root to temp root the phone and followed the rest of the steps immediately. The boot loader is unlocked and I was able to flash twrp with Odin afterwards without having any issues. It seems time is the key because you don't know how long king root will let you keep the root.

Where I'm stuck is obtaining perm root after unlocking the boot loader and flashing twrp. I thought I would be able to just grab the latest version of SuperSU and flash through twrp but every time I tried this it caused a boot loop after the Verizon logo. (I went through a couple of flashing the stock 5.1.1 image from Samsung and retrying). Now I've made a backup in twrp so if anything goes wrong I can return to the unlocked/custom recovery state that I have gotten it to. I just am not sure how to obtain the perm root after the unlock and custom recovery.

On the topic of king root again, there were a couple of instances where it froze either before trying the adb commands or during (even failing to root sometimes). I just restarted the phone, or pulled the battery when that happened and tried the process again. It always worked eventually.
