[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] SPheDaGhost:
Earlier in this week a friend of mine gave me a Redmi Note 3 pro that was pattern lock.

I tried the traditional hard reset hoping to reset pattern lock, but was unable too.

Since the bootloader was locked it was not able to, due to the issue of not being able to go to the recovery menu.

I tried to flashing a fastboot but couldn't because the bootloader was locked.

After some extensive researching throughout the forum I decided to put what I gathered up

and put it to use, I tried a few different methods and came up with many errors. the conclusion is

I figured a method that worked perfectly without having the usb debug mode on.

Perquisites

(note: I only done it on the Redmi Note 3 pro, but i'm sure it will all work the same since the tools are used for all xiaomi devices)

1. Redmi Note 3 (it should work on all xiaomi devices)

2. PC with windows x64 (I did it on Windows 10 x64)

3. MiFlash_2016.03.30.exe

4. Fastboot 7.1.8 rom (get correct rom according to your device, my device is the redmi note 3 pro and use global seem to work best)

Note: Fastboot 7.2.5 Rom is now available, you can use that and skip ota modifying and flashing part:Fastboot 7.2.5 rom

5. unlocked_emmc_appsboot.mbn Recovery flashable

6. Minimal adb and fastboot (or any adb installation)

7. adb edl boot file

8. install necessary drivers

you can find majority of the files in the link below (except fastboot_edl.zip it is provided below). provided by Sudeep Duhoon

1. first thing you want to do is put your device into fastboot mode, by holding vol down and power button together until device reboots.

it will then shows a anime image of a rabbit and droid being repaired.

since you don't have usb debugging enable, using adb commands in terminal won't recognize the device properly.

(don't worry about this, because it does in a sense recognizes your device in a sense... for me it says cannot find null or something in that manner with null)

2. what we want to do is put our device into fastboot edl mode so we can begin the process of flashing a fastboot rom.

I have provided a link for the fastboot edl boot file that runs the command automatically for you. after downloading the file,

extract it to a folder. located the folder and open edl.cmd, it will automatically put your phone into fastboot edl mode.

(As long as edl.cmd can put your device into fastboot edl mode, you are in the clear.)

3. Next is download proper fastboot rom for your device and extract the files to a foldering using 7z.

located the folder open it and go into the image folder.

4. Download unlocked_emmc_appsboot.mbn Recovery flashable, and extract it to the image folder of

your fastboot rom, it will ask you to replace click yes. if it turns up a error, extract the file to your desktop,

cut and paste the file into the image folder and click yes to replace /overwrite the file.

5. follow the step 10 only in the unlock bootloader from this link http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=66379587&postcount=3

after the flash is finish you are introduce with newly flash and unlocked device.

if the device happens to brick you can always put your device into fastboot mode.

and run the command fastboot aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn

to take yourself out the brick or try reflashing again.

there are many other great articles or fixing your bricked devices or flashing a rom.
