[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] frost19:
Got it working after getting nervous trying to unlock bootloader again (the first time is a nightmare).

I failed to flash latest miui global dev normally so I did it from edl. After that I unlock bootloader, flash twrp and the rom.

I try flashing the firmware and it really is not relocking bootloader now.

Haven't done much testing yet but I guess the live display bug is still there and for you guys having yellowish screen, have you try disabling it?

Camera works fine, hdr works, but video only record still image. Better than the last one, but still isn't functional.

Overall good update, I hope all the bugs can be squashed eventually
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] apollow2007:
Looks like same bug from the abhishek987 CM14.1 load as well.

1) Camera FC sometimes

2) Camera LED flash not sync sometimes

3) Dialer app does not show on screen for incoming call (I am using Google Dialer)

Will the latest firmware work with Kate devices? OR i should stick with psy_mans Kate firmware?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] Pumpino:
I used psy_man's firmware on my Kate and had no soft-brick with the 5/12 nightly. If you used the official firmware, you'd have to flash Kate's modem in fastboot, but it seems that firmware results in a soft-brick, so I'd stick with psy_man's.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] droiduser:
Had todo a restore to my original CM14.0 built from twrp seeing as this 14.1 is so broken, of course after the reboot it wouldnt accept my swipe code to unlock the phone for some reason, so went in an deleted the necessary files to remote the swipe unlock, now I cant go into settings/security to re-add a new lockscreen, instantly crashes the settings app. Any ideas? Even went in and removed the fingerprint files to check if that worked, still unable to set a lockscreen.

This Cm14.1 nightly has been a nightmare from start to a now partially broken restore to the original cm14, but at least I can answer phone calls now
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] apathya:
Thanks man
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] mcdull:
Don't use CM in your case. In will happen on all CM as it requires specific firmware to work with specific version.

Other CM does not relock the boot loader only means you have the compatible firmware already.

If you are not getting prepare to this situation, go buy google nexus or pixel and stay away from non-stock rom.

And you should blame yourself for not reading or just you can cry like a baby with your babysitter, but not the developer for making progress. Good Day.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] kuance:
Ok guys, let's clear things up and stop whining and mourning about how the latest firmware soft/hard brick your device. Before you flash anything, there is always a rules of thumb. 1.) Be sure you know what you are doing. 2.) If you dont, be sure to read before you jump into the party, and then can't swim your way back up. Which is meaningless to me.

What we can do now. For those who know what they are doing, do what you like, and for those who dunno what is happening, please do read the latest 10-20 page back in this post to have an idea what you are going to face and what is the risk. Anyway, it's just an OFFICIAL release of NIGHTLIES and it is never mentioned that it's a snapshot version or in any way a "perfectly stable" version.

I have an idea here for the beginners or whoever that can't take risk of bricking their phone and have to spend some hour bringing back their phone alive. The idea is simple, BE PATIENT AND WAIT. KISS, Keep it simple stupid. One more reason to wait for a more clearer direction before flashing is that, 7.1.1 is announced not long ago. We MIGHT see the double tap to wake and double tap to sleep implemented in the coming CM. So why not be chill and wait while the developer putting their hardwork and free time to please us. I believe developer can focus more if the thread is cleaner. Anyway, OP clearly mentioned all the "bug" existed in advance, there is no point keep on repeating the same problem again and again in this thread which will clutter and pollute the page, which bring negative effect to the page. Be cool guys, have a nice day ! : )

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] :
Including emmc_appsboot.mbn in the firmware package is one hell of a mistake to make. I've reported the post to the moderator so no more device are soft bricked. I had to reflash MIUI and reunlock BL to get my device working. Lost my internal data in the process. Definitely not happy.

Hard brick?

Hello.

My case is much worst I think. I flashed this new CM and new firmware and BL was locked, but yesterday I was able to enter in fastboot mode, so I was not affraid of this situation. But today I tried again with solution from someone from this forum and... fastboot mode is not starting, only red led is flashing. Is this end of my phone?

Is there any other method to verify if I had bricked my phone or not?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] harshs91:
Hold down volume down + power until device boots into fastboot mode...It should, in my opinion.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] hdhxppro:
Try again and use Mi flash to comeback MIUI if you like.

I think it is soft-bricked.

For some hard-bricked someone can fix by changing line USB

Don't try installing the new 6/12 build, it's completely broken. 5/12 was great for me and worked perfectly. 6/12 when upgraded from the updater booted straight to twrp. Once installed, it reboots to twrp everytime and wont book. I re flashed and still boots to twrp. I would advise everyone reverts to 5/12 build until the Strix fixes this.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] mcdull:
not working with 1115 cm14 firmware as well.

I used to have no issue without flashing any firmware (straight from miui) and flashed CM14.1 unofficial.

Flashed 1203 build of unofficial rom fix most of the issues.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] redbullman:
did you clean flash? The updater doesn't work and loads to twrp. Flashing over the 5/12 build breaks the build.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] febry_valdy:
Dont update from updater, my advice is that you download the latest 6thDecember nightly build on CM site then flash it using twrp. Dont forget to wipe cache and dalvik cache after flashing.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] A Sad Napkin:
I dirty flashed the update.

I downloaded latest buikd. Moved to sd card.

Flashed rom. Kernal. Gapps. Root and sound mod

Wiped cache and dalvik and I rebooted

0 problems.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] redbullman:
I flashed over 5/12 build and wiped cache/dalvik and it wouldn't boot. I'm downloading the 6/12 build again and will clean flash. There's clearly some issues hear to be resolved, but this is to be expected when nightlies have just started. Putting a message in the beginning of the thread explain best to do a clean flash (as some users have encountered issues) would be a good idea.

Hey guys.

I just temporary unlock my bootloader and tried to install CM 14.1 via TWRP but i got a few bugs with this rom, and now its unusable:

My screen is tinted with yellow color, and when i turn off live display, it remains yellow.

If i try to unlock my phone, i got only a background lighting, and the screen remain black

Do you guys have any ideas how can i fix this bugs?

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] mcdull:
It could not be wrong that 1115 is old firmware where 1205 is the most updated. It is meaningless to have very old firmware to work with this 1205 ROM as OP said we must use the most updated firmware with his recent build.

All the debugging job should based on the very new firmware. Messing with old firmware will pollute the thread and make OP difficult to polish his work. So as the custom kernel.

So I will follow the directive with OP and revert to older build of ROM if the new one is not usable.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] batuken:
Unfortunately, no. I unlocked it unofficially. Yeah, it's about the bootloader being unlocked using the unofficial method. I hope it'll support unofficially unlocked devices as the old firmware supports it.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] redbullman:
Exactly the same for me. I'm using the strix's recommended recovery. 5/12 build worked great. However since I updated to 6/12 build using the built in updater, I can't get past recovery. I've also fully wiped, formatted data and added the firmware, cm14.1 and open gapps via recovery and they still wont flash with a clean install. Going back to 5/12 wont work either now.

Therefore the conclusion to draw here is the updater app has somehow screwed the rom and partitions.

Looks like going to have to flash miui and then go back to CM14.1

I know these are early nightlies, but this sort of thing should be checked before nightlies are enabled! Or even a warning saying don't use the built in updater!

---------- Post added at 10:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:03 AM ----------

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] :
Exactly. I'm glad I had a backup from last night or I would have been really annoyed.

Although couldn't use it until miui was reinstalled.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] jeromeof:
I am stuck in the same problem, basically the OTA updater seems to be incompatible with TWRP and even with a unlocked bootloader I am stuck booting into TWRP all the time. Anyone know a simple mechanism to reset the OTA mechanism, my guess is there is a partition with some half failed OTA update and when I do an normal boot this the bootloader checks this OTA and fails and just switches back to TWRP? If this is the case, anyone any idea of which partition this corrupt OTA update 'flag' is using, at a low level I can see a 'mota' partition (do I need to wipe this partition)?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] johnnyjoe:
I restored my backed up rom. I applied yesterday for the official bootloader unlock, and I'm waiting for it. Right now I'll not very keen on doing a clean install so I can have a more up to date build, and then do another so I can go back to official 14.1. I'll do all that once I receive the unlock sms, flash miui, officially unlock bootloader and hopefully flash the latest nightly without issues.

Right now if I install any nightly with any firmware I get the no FP hardware message in the lockscreen. FP don't work for unlocking the phone, but it works for open camera app and take photos, and every time I put my finger on the sensor the hardware keys light up. So unless someone come with a solution to this, I'm sticking with an outdated build! : )

I tried that last night and it didn't work - I flashed all the MIUI partitions except for recovery, but it still jumped into TWRP recovery after doing this, hence I think there might be another partition that wasn't part of the fast boot MIUI update which is messing up the overall boot process.
