[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] CharlieKasper:
Thats something that i can agree on. Its upto strix if he wants to add the firmware in rom.zip or not. Thing is, he doesnt have a kate device with him, so he cant officially add any sort of support or recommend anything for kate. If someone with a kate and rom knowledge can work with him, maybe kate users too can get an (un)official cm14.1 specifically made for their device.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] Locke_G:
Ok, i just had my heart attack cause my phone went into EDL mode after installing the new firmware. I've been reading back and conclude that it can be resolved by reinstalling miui thru EDL and then unlock again, install twrp followed by CM? Can you guys quick confirm that this is correct? I had an official unlocked bootloader.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] 5amar31:
I am only able to boot into fastboot. Unofficially unlocked bootloader.

Any way to get it back to life without losing all my data?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] pauloavelar:
I said that when I purchased the device thinking it was a Kenzo with possibly a Goodix FP sensor, but I will make this offer again.

I can make my Kate available for 30 days for testing and tweaking so users can get a more compatible ROM or perhaps an official ROM for Kate. I have some knowledge in C and Android app development (the latter seems unimportant, I guess).

I wouldn't be able to code anything, but I can test, provide logcat and flash whatever [MENTION=5857684]TheStrix[/MENTION] throws at me.

I wish I could do more, but the learning curve feels too big for me to learn anything useful in such a short time. And I can only lend the device for 30 days because after that I plan to make it my daily driver. I would still act as a tester, but not for very experimental stuff.

So, I want to install this now... What I need to do for don't get a soft-brick, install all (rom-gapps) without firmware and see if all works Â¿?

I think we need to copy emmc_appsboot.mbn from old cm14.1 firmware to new one and replace it, to avoid locking bl
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] Nihal @A-JAX:
The latest 5 Dec 2016 firmware is from stock MIUI as [MENTION=5857684]TheStrix[/MENTION] said in his update post. So it might be causing issues with bootloader locking. Stay away from it.

Use old firmware to update your existing CM14/14.1 to latest nightly. It works fine (Has same old bugs). Wait for update from [MENTION=5857684]TheStrix[/MENTION]

After flashing the 1205 build (wiped system, cache, dalvin)

The screen becomes yellowdish. even I change the white balance to 10000K, it still not displaying white color.

Also, fingerprint is not available. Mine is the old FPC sensor. ( I have flashed the OP firmware)

Is it known issues?

Lots of reports of only 1 core being used for a lot of things. Any idea what's causing it and how it can be fixed?

---------- Post added at 09:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:20 AM ----------

It's good feedback to have regarding things working/not working as well as we'd like. I think there were a lot of changes battery related changes in the kernel. Could be that or maybe the 1 core bug causing it. Someone testing CM14 please try turning things like auto brightness and live display on/off to see if the battery drain is lower/higher.

---------- Post added at 09:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:24 AM ----------

Qualcomm haven't opensourced the build. For all you know it could have a lot of MIUI changes in the system but with a different look.

---------- Post added at 09:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:28 AM ----------

I can think about mirroring it or sponsor a small LXC droplet for [MENTION=5857684]TheStrix[/MENTION] to use to host it if he's OK with it.

Guys for those people who are getting too many downloads in google drive. Here is a quick solution.

Click that three dots in the top right and click the share.

Enter your gmail id. And share it.

Now open gdrive and go to shared with me folder.

Now the file will show up. Right click on it and select make a local copy. It will create a duplicate file in your account. Download that file.

When you are on miui after all it's the same thing you have already done...

Unlock bootloader flash twrp....
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] :
If the ROM programmer would setup a crowdfunding platform I'd be happy to pay.

Just a suggestion.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] ergauravtondwal:
Flashed the ROM.

Bugs:

1. Camera and Gallery App completely broken. (Yes, not only video, nothing works if you flash gapps, however, if you don't flash gapps, gallery app works. )

2. Google Now Launcher is getting messed up. Phone freezes and reboots. I switched to Trebuchet, works fine. (Probably a bug with gapps for N, I will flash a newer version in coming days and report.)

I'll try to grab a logcat report.

Pros of ROM:

â?¢ Everything is smooth. All animations come out amazingly.

â?¢ RIL and FP work flawlessly.

â?¢ Nothing FCs after you flash firmware.

Amazing work guys! Thanks a lot.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] ilvmyname:

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] ergauravtondwal:
One thing, fingerprint randomly selecting an icon and opening that app on touching. Also, touching fingerprint while typing takes you to next line. This gets annoying.

Is it a feature or bug?

If it's a feature, how to turn it off?

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] NTRNSTR:
Just fastboot flashed 6.24.11 using mi flash and it relocked the bootloader (which was unlocked officially), also tried flashing firmware and CM from officially unlocked miui 8 stable but ended up with a soft brick so I don't think it has anything to do with whether or not the bootloader is unlocked officially.

Also replacing the stock recovery with TWRP before flashing in EDL doesn't work anymore with the the new firmware.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] xXSantyXx:
Here's my feedback with some problems i'm facing:

-Clock App doesn't work;

-Torch works if i spam the button 2 or 3 times:

-Camera don't always works;

-Can't format SD card as internal storage, says that my card is corrupted;

-Touching the FP while device is unlocked opens the camera.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] Locke_G:
For everybody stuck with a softbricked phone and an official unlocked bootloader, this is the way i resolved the issue:

(coming from the last unofficial 14.1 build by TheStrix).

- Download the official cm14.1 nightly to an MicroSD card and plug it in your phone

- Install MI Unlock tool on your PC (if you don't have it ready)

- Boot your phone in fastboot (volume down + power)

- unlock your phone's bootloader

- Boot your phone in TWRP

- Flash the nightly

- Wipe Davlek and Cache

- reboot

it worked for me, now running 14.1 Nightly, with the required firmware.

Bugs i've found so far:

- FP scanner not working (FPC102x version)

- Torch doesn't work every time it's started

- Camera unstable (known issue)

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] royabhijit:
This BL thing should have had a warning. It is not justified considering it is the first OFFICIAL build. There are better unofficial N ROMs available for kenzo, like the one from Abhishek.

One should avoid this ROM.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] 5amar31:

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] royabhijit:
I am not talking about the statutory disclaimer or warning or whatever. I am specifically talking about the Official Rom. It is supposed to be better than the unofficial ones. Why do you make a build official when you know it's not the best among all that are available.

[MENTION=5857684]TheStrix[/MENTION] working for free,in his free time, so if u like this rom,stick with him,if u don't ,flash unofficial rom..No one is forcing you to flash this rom..So be thankful to dev :) after all, the unofficial ROM that you use, would not exist if it was not a big effort from [MENTION=5857684]TheStrix[/MENTION]..

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] balazs312:

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] royabhijit:
I did not mention stable. I mentioned "OFFICIAL". Read my comments again. My problem is that the latest official NIGHTLY is not even closer to some of the unofficial ROMs. And it caused softbrick to many including me.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] hendryl:
When I flashed the new firmware my phone got bricked and stuck in EDL mode, unfortunately I've lost all my data and had to flash MIUI just to get my phone working again.

That's really disappointing, since I've been using nightly builds since the beginning and never had any problems, I thought that now that this ROM got the OFFICIAL tag it would at least be safe to update from 13.1, but apparently it is not.

But anyways, after that I tried a clean flash (twice) and the system seems to be taking 20gb of storage, leaving only 9gb free. What's up with that?

And I hace bug report, for [MENTION=5857684]TheStrix[/MENTION] multimedia audio has stopped working, I has rebooted plenty of times, 2 hours off, cache and dalvik cleared... This means ringtones and notifications works nicely, but music, YouTube, WhatsApp audios... They playa, but no sound... And this morning two dead black screen.

I attach the los with SysLog app, [MENTION=5857684]TheStrix[/MENTION] , taking it since I flashed... But I rebooted, anyway, I hope it's useful!!

Thanks and regards!!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] Grozni_Zabac:
So that presumed "official" ROM is bug-free, 100% safe to use? We are here to primarily test software, and in the end use it. This is still a development thread as the project never went to stable state, so I don't understand all this whining.

Yes, sure, this is awkward bug, but again you were warned at the beggining of the thread that you are doing all of this on your own responsibility. So bashing against the devs brings you nothing.

You would do a lot more if you told exactly what you did before you got bootloaded locked, what firmware were you using, from which ROM did you upgrade, was it clean install or dirty, did you flash anything else along with the ROM and firmware....
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] 5amar31:
Let's just focus on the solutions. No one will benefit from these replies on a development thread. A lot of people have soft bricked their phones. The problem seems to be that the firmware provided by the OP locked the bootloader. So will unlocking it via fastboot using official method solve the issue? Most have unofficially unlocked bootloader.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] Locke_G:
Hear hear.

Unlocking and then updating works when the official method was used and I think it will work the same when originally unlocked unofficial. Can't verify it however.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] 5amar31:
What if I unlock it officially now?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] Locke_G:

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] 5amar31:

How was I supposed to do that with the phone stuck in EDL mode?

The screen didn't turn on and I couldn't even get to fastboot, if I could, I would've at least backed up my data.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] jeromeof:
Guys,

OK, I initially dirty flashed this and then I installed the recommended firmware at which point everything started to go wrong. I had offically unlocked but the device seemed to get locked again, then I rebooted and I am now stuck with TWRP and unable to boot any image (I have already resolved to loose my data) but I cannot seem to get any ROM to boot (even MIUI which I tried via fastboot), is there any quick fix to this? I unlocked again via MiUnlock. It seems like it should be simple as I can boot into TWRP and mostly flashing any ROM seems to work until I try to reboot into the newly flashed ROM then it jumps straight back into TWRP. Any simple suggestions? I thought it might be some invalid device but even the recovery logs don't show anything obvious. I would rather not have to go back to EDL mode but if that is the only option then I will. Any advise?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] kiki37250:
The screen don't turn on on EDL mode, you just had to press power and volume down until you go on fastboot mode. (Next time you flash a firmware that relock bootloader, you go directly from recovery to bootloader).
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] Codebucket:
Guys, if you already on the firmware by Psy_man, there is no need to flash the offical one from the OP! They are the same, so it should work fine out-of-the box when using the firmware from Psy_man.

I checked the md5 sums of cmnlib.mbn from both firmware zips, same result, see:
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] hendryl:
I tried powering it on while holding volume down, but no success. All it did was reboot in a loop. No recovery, no fastboot, not a thing. I tried everything and as last resort I had to flash MIUI using MiFlash.

I was so excited with the release of the new firmware, hoping it would fix the camera issues, that I forgot to make a backup. Now I'm screwed.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] Moglie:
Camera picture quality is still very bad with CM14.1...

SD card bug is still present...

Apart from the usual CM14.1 bugs (flashlight, camera FC etc.). Anyone else?

Please do not integrate Firmware into build... it will annoy KATE users since they replace their modem files.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] Codebucket:
You can see if your device is in EDL mode when the LED is flashing red and MiFlash does recognize it ;) Also, you can try to go into EDL from fastboot.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] droiduser:
After flashing using twrp, it stuffed the phone, it relocked the bootloader, which stopped booting completely.

Without doing anything else after the flash, i rebooted into fastboot mode (volume down, power) then simply ran the MiUnlock tool directly against the phone again, and it unlocked the bootloader again.

Then i reflashed twrp (fastboot flash recovery ....), rebooted into recovery, then rebooted the phone from in there, cm14.1 then booted (this was all a dirty flash direct over cm14, all done in one single boot of twrp i did firmware flash first, then cm14.1 nightly from the CM website, then flashed Gapps Stock)

So bit of a pain it relocked the bootloader!

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] Pumpino:
I can't help but think that sometimes there's a bit of competition to be the first to have an unofficial CM build be made official. I assume there must be some application process, but I don't know how it works. As others have suggested, why release the first nightly build when it can soft-brick your phone? That's behaviour that one might expect from an experimental build. I think the majority of people would expect an official nightly to be more stable than an unofficial build on xda, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
