Glad to hear you're happy with MIUI. If you like it stay with it. I hate it. Personal opinion. Please don't spam this thread. Thank you.

Never had a problem with my LTE connection on Kate.

Try to repeat every step of this guide (i'm using 7.5.4 firmware)

Maybe it's because you dirty flashed from 7.1.1 to 7.1.2?

I would recommend clean flash.

Can I flash Resurrection Remix Marshmallow in Kenzo without unlocking bootloader?

https://xdaforums.com/redmi-note-3/development/official-t3399879

I have successfully flashed official TWRP through (experimental!) updated method, but after flashing RR-MM I get bootloop.

Can anyone please help?

Thanks in advance.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] cristyxxl:
You say that build build 20170510 is working with no problems, but i couldn't install it, i installed another custom recovery but i get the ERROR code 7, i found a post here on XDA how to get rid of this error (https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2522762), but still no luck, now it changed to ERROR 4.

And in that post it says: "This is due to an error by the developer of the ROM in the updater script, causing havoc, making people install another custom recovery like TWRP recovery for no reason. " So yeah, i'm blaming the developers...
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] kleytonhunter:
hi everyone,iam having a problem with LTE and wifi,they are too weak when i flash lineage and very strong (normal) on stock miui :confused:,tried on 3 build of linea and same thing,i flashed firmware zip as the guide says,my kate bootloader is unlocked
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] khajiit:
I had Error 7 before. When i updated my TWRP version.

Use 0719 ZCX TWRP as written in my guide.... no problems at all.

Blaming devs in this thread is for sure the wrong way. I'm no active dev and no dev will ever notice your posting here.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] petrapas:
Ah yes. The "dirty flashing" was the problem.

A new clean install resolved the issue.

Just one other note:

While flashing there was a Error 7. It disappeared by flashing the newest firmware for the Note 3.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] G-Forces:
I've used this guide before with success on my Kate, but is it still safe to use with the recent LineageOS changes? I am reading mixed stories, either successful or not.

It seems that I can't unlock officially, it just doesn't work... So I kinda need this to still work. :P
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] bloodytolits:
If it's any relevant, I did flashed XenonHD(LOS base) May 10th build without any problems(Kenzo users who unlocked unofficially got bootloop on this). It seems that Kate(that used this guide) doesn't seem to have problems flashing the latest LOS. Can't say much about kenzo though.

You can just try it, the worst you'd experience would probably be just bootloops. Just don't flash the firmware provided by TheStrix as that will break TWRP(you'd have yo do the tutorial again to fix it).
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] G-Forces:
Thank you! Will try it later, I've had enough of MIUI.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] khajiit:
For Kate owners: This method still works without problems

For Kenzo owners: Don't know if this method still work. (possibly not)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] pepessz32:
i actually flashed my phone with the latest build (20170501), and it worked just fine.

i did not know at all that the newer builds might or could somehow "impacted" the flashing. It was simply a beginner's luck i guess..
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] razr96:
Just flashed latest RR with no problems, after flashing 7.5.11 firmware (without the bootloader included). So this method still works for Kenzo as well.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] tiago_c:
Really nice tutorial! Have been scratching my head for a while with my Kate device, can't unlock officially and OTA updates always lead to bootloop on MIUI. Tried other methods before but this one did the trick!

Off course not everything could go well and I can't use mobile data. Choosing LTE only leaves me with no network at all, other options work for calls/sms but data isn't working. Tried manually changing APNs but that didn't work. Any tips? Should I flash antenna?

Cheers
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] alancash:
Please OP can I flash custom kernel on Kate with this method.. Thanks
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] razr96:
Once you have TWRP you can flash anything.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] bloodytolits:
Try flashing the latest Kate firmware from here: https://xdaforums.com/redmi-note-3/development/firmware-hmnote3proglobal-t3574361
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] vickdu31:
I flashed the new modem from thestrix links on kenzo and then flashed the LOS update with locked bootloader. Instant brick at reboot, this is because the modem files requires to have unlocked BL.

Only fasstboot was available so I followed this : https://xdaforums.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/guide-rn3-pro-se-t3565172

And the updated LOS booted just fine without any formating or installing any zip files.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] khajiit:
This is the same method described as experimental updated method in OP. Glad it worked for you. If you would read OP carefully you wouldn't have to search for another thread. ;)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] vickdu31:
I used the method by kuan in another device long time ago but I remember I had more trouble than with this link, even if its almost the same, I think files are different because they work on both kate and kenzo, anyway, you need to update the modem files here to be compatible with the new LOS without unlocking bootloader or then everyone just should unlock bootloader.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] khajiit:
Well if it works for 1000 people without problems and one person has a problem then i'm glad you found somerhing else that works for you :)

Never faced any bootloops but as i said before i'm using Kate. Don't know what's up with Kenzo. Maybe i should just change the title to Kate only.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] bloodytolits:
This method still works with both Kenzo(confirmed by two users) and Kate. I guess people are only having problems because they do not update their Firmware.

People are getting lazy and not just use the search function so I suggest [MENTION=7911669]khajiit[/MENTION] that you add this link:https://xdaforums.com/redmi-note-3/development/firmware-hmnote3proglobal-t3574361 in the OP
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] tiago_c:
No luck, I've tried it before and just tested again. I'll keep it as is for a few days and guess I'll try official unlock yet again (not very hopeful...)

No one else on Kate facing this issue? For reference: Latest dev fw + lineage using this method on kate = no 4g and mobile data, everything else running well.

EDIT: I've since installed the latest nightly (17-05) and tried flashing fw again (both dev and stable), same problem.

i have latest global stable miui rom, unlocked unofficially bootloader, how can i install the rom? im new at this (i have twrp installed) i only need to boot in recovery and flash? or i need to flash miui dev first?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] scrubjay55:
You cant and shouldnt flash roms which have patches for both fp scanners like lineage os with a unoffically unlocked bootloader.

*i dont understand people. Is it really that hard to unlock it offically?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] deewfrank:
i cant unlock... i have permission but says 50% error, tried many guides and nothing...
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] scrubjay55:
So you didnt try enough :) Al lot of people have offically unlocked bootladers atm.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] khajiit:
Follow this guide from scretch. You will have TWRP + locked bootloader afterwards and you can flash everything you want.

did you skip [*] Boot to MIUI and complete initial setup (important step - don't skip! first boot will take around 10 minutes)?

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ilvmyname:
You will need to use fastboot erase data command on command prompt but for that you need an unlocked bootloader

So if i wish to flash any updates from lineage os, should i also follow the same like steps above? (including wiping all and flashing gapps again)

thanks
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] khajiit:
2 ways:

dirty flash if you want to keep everything: just flash updated rom (and kernel if you want to use a custom kernel)

clean flash: wipe everything flash everything again
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] pepessz32:
thanks alot. But are there gonna be any downside by using dirtyflash?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] bloodytolits:
There are sometimes problems when dirty flashing. Dirty flash first, if you didn't face any problems then you're good to go otherwise clean flash(it's a hassle though).
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] pepessz32:
again thankyou so much :)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Florensie:
Huh, I had already done this and it worked but I had some issues later and I decided to start fresh so I did this again and now I'm stuck when booting into miui after flashing in edl. Keeps showing the mi logo.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Spectre007:
Hello everybody, I'm in need of some help. I've searched and searched and to be honest I'm a little scared to take the next step.

My situation is this. I have a locked bootloader. I have followed a method on xda where it's possible to flash LineageOS with locked bootloader. The method consisted of replacing the recovery file and then flashing the modified stock ROM through MIFlash. I did that and I managed to get twrp up and running. Nonetheless when I booted to newly flashed stock rom, to my surprise I could not get past the login screen which was now saying that the phone seems to be associated with another device. Impossible because we bought the phone brand new and were the first to open the box. I then googled some and realized that the EFS partition and imei were erased or corrupted.

A part of the solution to that situation was to find an older version of the stock rom which did not need mi account activation before starting the device. I flashed an older variant of lollipop stock rom 5.1.1. And managed to boot into the phone. That's when I realized that the EFS partition and imei were gone. Googled some more and got efs restored. And now the phone is working even with imei showing 0. But I can't log in to my mi account and I can't update the phone to a newer version via OTA, since it lock's itself as soon as it boots up. So essentially I have a working phone with imei set to zero and I'm stuck on lollipop :D

Is there a solution to fix imei. Again my bootloader is locked.

Edit1: My device is kenzo. So basically is it possible to root this rom that I'm on right now and use the Qualcomm QPST Tool to restore the original imei?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] chrome6boy:
Easiest way I have found to restore IMEI is to flash latest stable global rom from the Mi website. This should put your phone back to stock condition and restore you IMEI. I would try this before Qualcomm QPST Tool.

Once you have it restored (hopefully). Make a backup of your IMEI and save it somewhere safe like on Google Drive.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Spectre007:
Thanks! I will try it out today! Just one qestion. When I'm flashing it through miflash, there are three options in the bottom right corner. Which one should I pick?

Clean all, save user data, clean all and lock?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ayaj007:
Volte not working..

I had successfully flashed resurrection remix ROM by your method , flashed firmware given in OP, but Volte not working for me
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ilvmyname:
Always just clean all
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ayaj007:
[MENTION=1370671]khajit[/MENTION], please someone answer this
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] bloodytolits:
You can replace it with whatever recovery you want.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] chrome6boy:
I saw that Ilvmyname already replied. My take on this is because the bootloader is already locked I would clean all and lock to try and get the phone back to stock condition.

Did you try? Did it work?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Spectre007:
I tried but it didn't work. No imei. After that I tried some of the multiple ways of flashing imei with QPST but almost all guides are for dual sims, my phone is single sim. So I tried enetering imei in slot 1, both slots, and slot 2. Only time it got written was when I entered it in slot 2. But when the system boots the imei is there but it won't work. So again reverted back to lollipop 5.1.1. and girlfriend is using it like that for now.

Hey guys,

I am getting error 7 in TWRP when trying to update LOS weekly. It says modem assert failed. Can someone here help me out with how to tackle this. Thanks. :)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ExtGame:
You have to extract NON-HLOS.bin from the latest MIUI firmware.

1. Download the MIUI ROM (Fastboot version) from Mi website and extract it using WinRAR.

2. Go to the images folder and copy NON-HLOS.bin to the folder where you have Fastboot.

3. Reboot your phone to Fastboot (I assume you know how to do this)

4. Connect your device and type in the command

fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

5. Try to install it again.

Even I got the same problem on my Kenzo, and this worked for me. Cheers:good:
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Maheshnotani:
Read the same solution online.

Do i need the bootloader unlocked? I am guessing no.

And also, can i use the bin file from the latest xiaomi.eu Rom stable?? I have that with me currently.

Thanks.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] arell:
No, you just need flash a firmware, read carrefully in the first page please
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Maheshnotani:
Okay so the firmware or the Modem, what needs to be flahshed?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] pepessz32:
So, im thinking of flashing franco kernel and updating the latest nightlies.. any experiences with franco so far?

and a quick noob question, are there any steps to take before flashing kernel? or i could just flash it after updating the nightlies?

thanks in advance :)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ExtGame:
You need the bootloader unlocked because with locked bootloader fastboot cannot flash critical partitions (bootloader,system,modem,etc.) so, yeah, bootloader unlocked.

Im not too sure about rom stable, i used the latest global dev rom. I'd recommend that unless you want to risk it.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] bloodytolits:
Uhmm... The modem is actually already included in the firmware.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ExtGame:
You just take NON-HLOS.bin from the MIUI global dev rom's image folder and flash it using 'fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin'. No more complications.

P.S. You need to download fastboot version of global developer MIUI for RN3 Snapdragon. Just check if its all of the above.

Reply me if it bootloops or something. First boot takes 10-15 minutes. Experience:D
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ilvmyname:
It sounds weird but, did you bought the phone and didn't even boot it up once and tried to flash the recovery straight away?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Maheshnotani:
I am on latest LOS nightly, now my phone is showing headphones icon continuously even when the headphones/earphones are not connected. I cannot hear anything while calling normally, only when i put it on loudspeaker i can hear everything.

Also i tried playing songs, no voice, but when i connect headphones, i can hear everything.

It seems that the system assumes the headphones are connected even when they are not.

Someone please help me out. Thanks. :)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] bloodytolits:
Are you sure it's not a hardware problem?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ExtGame:
That happened to me too. It was too annoying, I can't hear any ringtones. So, this is most probably a hardware problem and what you need to do is insert a headphone cable in the slot, take it out, and repeat till the headphone jack works as expected. This happened when I had MIUI about 5 months ago, tho. Try it.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Steelskinz:
Worked like a charm on kate with latest TWRP. Thanks ! :)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Spectre007:
Nope, I was on china stable though, and the problem started when I flashed global developer.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Acoca:
As I remember, if you're rooted (which I think isn't possible without unlocked bootloader?) You should unroot. Then download Mi Flash, and download the fastboot rom for your device, then root... I think that's about it
