sorry question not related to post.....but need reply.....

Hello There!

Is it Possible to install the new Cyanogenmod via this method?

Thanks!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] khajiit:
You can install any ROM you want with this method
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Trailerpark1:
Well one Question left:

I call after the Permission to unlock the Bootloader. u Said earlier, i can Unlock via normal method even after using ur Guide.

But will i get the Permission SMS even with new OS? I think i will do. but i want to go sure and ask D:

Plus: Can i get normal Lineage Updates?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Trailerpark1:
kindly push^^
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Armagedon24:
Hello guys.

I have bought my RN3P, Kate version 1 month ago and I managed to install this custom rom. It's the first time for me doing this kind of stuff.

As a newbie in these things, I need to ask you something.

This psy firmware is the best for my Kate? Because i saw in this forum many other firmwares. Is my phone compatible with all of them?

And other think that I wanted to ask is if I want another Rom for example Ressurection Remix, do I need to change the firmware?

Feedback:

Pro:

- 10% performance increase against MIUI ( antutu test)

- Very smooth OS, smoother than MIUI in my opinion

- Insane battery life. I was already satisfied with Miui battery life, but this one is just insane.

Cons:

- Camera crash sometimes and the quality I think it.s a bit worse than the camera from MIUi

Keep up the good work! :good:
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] khajiit:
You have to be on MIUI if you want to unlock your device officially.

But there is no reason to unlock your bootloader.

Psy's firmware is working thats why i linked it here.

I'm still using it because i have no problems with it.

Newer versions can cause problems. You can flash them if you want tho.

You don't need another firmware to run RR.

I'm using RR as my daily driver since 2 months.

cheers
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Armagedon24:
Is there any difference in performance and battery life between LineageOS and RR? I ask you this because I read that both Roms have the same kernel(Lineage). So, It's only a customization difference?

Our chipset SD 650 supports Quick Charge 3. It's there any chance to unlock this feature with any of these Roms? I think that MIUI has limited this feature due to the price to remain low. But now we have different kernel and Rom, so can it be enabled?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] khajiit:
QC2 can be enabled with custom kernel (i use radon 4)

I used Lineage only for couple hours. I like feature rich ROMs.

I'm getting around 10h SoT with RR thats fine for my needs.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Armagedon24:
So if I want to change to Radon from Psy and RR from LineageOS, I just need to put them + Gapps in my phone, wipe cache/dalvik, data, internal storage from TWRP and then install them in this order: Radon, RR rom, Gapps?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] varunrocks17:
my phone is totally dead in 900e mode after first procedure, now pls tell me how to deal with sc guys.....wat excuse should i make
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] khajiit:
psy = firmware

radon = kernel

two different things.

flashorder: firmware (only once), RR rom, GApps, radon kernel

yes

test point method (search forum)

Don't know what you did but you did not follow the guide correctly.

Unless you **** up badly this method is 100% safe.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] varunrocks17:
watever was given i done that :-

u said

1. clean all with flash all

2. flash shown success

note :- i was on latest global stable for lollipop
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Armagedon24:
Ok I understand now. But yesterday I flashed another firmware "https://xdaforums.com/redmi-note-3/development/kenzo-miui-firmware-7-2-16-download" and then I wanted to go back to psy and I flashed again psy. Everytime after i flashed the firmware I was doing a factory reset and then install Rom and Gapps. So now I should be again on psy firmware? Where can i check what firmware I have?

Thank you for your response and sorry for my nab questions, the beginning is hard ;)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] khajiit:
Maybe you dont have snapdragon version or you flashed the wrong version (kate/kenzo).

You need to know which redmi note 3 you ha e (3 different versions)

if you flash the wrong one you will end up in 900E mode.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] varunrocks17:
come on man i have sd version kenzo(H= 150) NOT KATE

NXT TIME PLS TEST METHOD THOROUGLY
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] khajiit:
Method tested by 100+ members. Worked everytime.

Method is not working for you? You screwed up.

No need to spam this thread. Just search for unbricking methods.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] zimmbadroid:
Just to confirm that I successfully flashed custom ROM over stock MIUI using this guide days ago.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] varunrocks17:
well, if following your method is screwing up then boss, i f**ked my device real hard :)

PS: m not here to fight jus giving my feedback that my device i completely dead after procedure 1

TO THE MEMBERS

do take care of device, keep your invoice ready, u may really need it if u r not a technician

---------- Post added at 12:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:19 PM ----------

unfortunately not worked for me
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] zimmbadroid:
You don't need your invoice ready, you just need to read, follow instructions and use common sense. If something goes wrong you can always flash fastboot rom in EDL mode and go back to stock.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] varunrocks17:
bro, giving feedback is no offence, > xda policy

my device is completely dead > no fastboot/edl/etc only red light blink on charge n usb thats it.

wat procedure and common sense u r calling for -

i used tools/roms/procedure of this thread wat else u need
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] zimmbadroid:
I am giving my feedback to yours, not offended a bit. No fastboot? Isnt red light blinking when in EDL mode?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] varunrocks17:
i cant go to edl(9008 mode) only 900e mode is there, no fastboot even, no key combination working
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] zimmbadroid:
Try searching for a unbrick guide. My device was almost dead when I tried unlocking bootloader unofficially, probably flashed something wrong then as I just got the Kenzo, but then I just flashed fastboot rom w/ mi flash in edl mode and it worked ofc.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] varunrocks17:
only tp/deepflash mode seems to be solution
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] lzwfkv:
Try to go into fastboot mode by key combo volume up + power. Then use fastboot_edl modded command to go into edl from fastboot (haven't got the link now, search on google) and flash using mi flash.

Can I install Xposed with this?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] zimmbadroid:
Why would you want to install Xposed with this? You can install Xposed with an APK, but note that there is no Xposed for Nougat yet.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] FedoraTipper:
True. Forgot it wasn't out for Nougat.

finally fixed my phone with deep flash cable( got it made from tecnician) cost $1.5 (100 inr) then flashed again fastboot rom but this time with "flash_all_andlock" selected then followed the procedure

Has anyone had any issues with the emoji button in gboard not working? I press it and it doesn't do anything. I tried flashing a different GApps and reinstalling it, but having no luck.

Edit: I ended up wiping the phone and reinstalling Lineage, gapps, and firmware...looks like that fixed it

Thank [MENTION=7911669]khajiit[/MENTION] for providing basic idea and requisite files now on citrus caf
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Andreas_ddl:
Same for me

I am having the same problem. Tried some things. E. g. updated recovery version, tried to flash from sd-card tried to remount file system. Nothing worked up to now. Also backup does no longer work apparently the file system cannot be mounted by TWRP. There seems to have been a problem with a fstab file but the faulty contents seems not to be set in the one I have on the phone.

Can all of this be a consequence of using the short form of the flashing instructions. Is there a fast way to "recover"?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ilvmyname:
Thanks successfully flashed AOSIP now

Some precautions that I observed:

When booting to recovery , if it doesn't prompt to disable system read only then go to mount section and uncheck

Bcoz if you didn't, flashing the new rom would flash but nothing would change and you will end in soft brick
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] b0mb:
The promt for disabling system reed only appears after flashing the official twrp version - i did that using twrp app from playstore ;)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Andreas_ddl:
Similar Problem for me

Phone is encrypted. Enter your pin if you didn't set a password. Then you can see the file under /data/data/org.lineage/update or similar.

After entering the recovery system a few more times it worked four me to do a backup to the micro-sd card. Installing any zip didn't work with standard TWRP-version. So I installed the unzipped recovery.img from ZRC_TWRP with TWRP-app from the booted device. Now installing zip-files worked again!

Rest works like Charm.

Any solutions for this or should I try another weekly build ?

successfully done this method to my kate..

the camera still buggy, but im so satisfied with lineage os.

btw, i have 2 questions.

1. why i only got "adb only" root permission? where is the "apps"? (just 2 options, disable and adb only)

2. is there a feature to lock the screen without touching power button? (just like miui does)

I am very thankful to this guide

My phone was locked because I forgot to logout my mi account in my phone then deleted my mi account online

Oh btw camera is crashing a lot but it's ok
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] khajiit:
happy to hear!

camera bug only exists in LOS most other custom roms (AOSiP, NOS, CAF, RR,...) already fixed the problem.

I would recommend flashing another rom.

In order to root my Kate device I was trying the experimental method (on dev rom 7.3.16) and I'm getting stuck here:

which ultimately leads to:

any ideas on what might go wrong here?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] razr96:
Are the files in a directory with spaces? That might be the problem.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] RocketRuepel:
I solved it.

Thanks for your input, I had already checked for space characters. Apart from that, to anyone running into one of the problems:

Do not use MiFlash 20160401 as suggested in the OP, use the beta version with "save user data" instead. (fixes the cannot find file part)

Also I did not realize you have to disable driver signature enforcement, not only to install the drivers, but also for newer miflash versions to actually recognize your device. (fixes open serial port failed)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] felixjet:
Can someone give me a hand please?

I followed the steps carefully.

I entered TWRP and clicked "Reboot to system" .

Then next step should be "Boot to MIUI and complete initial setup important step - don't skip! first boot will take around 10 minutes)".

But my phone is stuck on the MI logo for about an hour now....

EDIT: How retarded can i be sometimes... I flashed TWRP 3.1 not the one recommended here. Let's see if it works...

EDIT2: Everything perfect!! THANKS.

Tip: dont put all files in the same folder or you will make mistakes, lol
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gilang555:
hi guys, and op sir....

i just have received granted permission to unlock sms from xiaomi, and i have installed Lineage OS.

can i unlock the bootloader while in Lineage? if can't, why?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] khajiit:
I got permission few months ago... yet it is not working.

You can only unlock officially with MIUI installed.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gilang555:
Why it is not working?

Yeah sir, i read that to somewhere. Im less of knowledge and im curious. What to do with the os, while we are unlocking in fastboot mode?

I dont need to install miui yet, just want to unlock in case i need it sometime.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jin~:
Clear instructions, thank you very much.

In particular, the information about MiUi 8 Global Developer ROM 6.11.3 being the last version this method is possible, and the download link for that helped a lot.

Saw similar instructions in other threads and other forums, and ended up frustrated because I was trying it with the latest dev ROM.

By the way, I use Nitrogen OS. Very smooth.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gilang555:
i think the miui battery backup is better than laos.

how to go back to stock miui rom (latest global stable)?

i have a kate with locked bootloader.

This Guide Only For Lineage OS or I Can Flash RR via this method ?

Sorry For Noob Question ! How Can I Know My Device Is Kenzo Or Kate ? I Have Red Mi Note 3 | 3 GB / 32 GB Version
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] khajiit:
Sure. If you read the OP there is a section about other custom roms.

Only safe way to tell if you have Kenzo or Kate is to check the height of your device. Kenzo=150mm, Kate=152mm
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Yash Doctor:
I checked with cpu-z app that shows Red Mi Note-3 (kenzo) so that app shows original model ?

Hi, the step flash... is not clear for me. When first wipe internal storage etc. so no flash with twrp. So how to flash the 3 files :confused:
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] khajiit:
you wipe internal storage etc inside of TWRP and afterwards flash the rom inside of TWRP
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Danoz88:
But when I wipe system, internal storage etc. theres nothing left on my phone to flash and in twrp my pc doesnt detected my redmi. Only way I know would be adb sideload?

oh i see the problem, without a sd card just leave the internal storage undeleted it doesnt matter that much

Hi

Had a little accident with my RN3pro kenzo. I was on LOS (unofficially unlocked bootloader), but accidentally flashed firmware that relocked my boatloader so now my RN3 is softbricked (I think, can't boot or go into recovery, only can get into fastboot).

Can I follow your guide right away? Or do I need to flash a fastboot rom first (http://en.miui.com/a-234.html) and then follow your guide?

Thanks a lot for your time!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] bloodytolits:
OMG! I can't believe I wasted time researching how to unlock bootloader on Kate. Thanks a bunch for this dude! My Kate is running Nitrogen OS 10 minutes after taking it out of the box :D.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] JLius:
So I could follow these steps? My RN3 kenzo is softbricked I think (flashed firmware that locked my boatloader which was unofficially unlocked), I can only boot into fastboot.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] aguy46:
is it Possible

Wow it's great job..

if it is possible for other devices(redmi3/3s), by changing the contents of kenzo files with redmi3 / 3s files?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] bloodytolits:
Do the one on the 1st post. Mine wasn't softbricked when I followed that instruction.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] razr96:
I'm sure the same method can be adapted to any Qualcomm Xiaomi phone released before MIUI 6.11.3

Problem solved :good:
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] JLius:
You need to follow every step as explained by the OP. Didn't try the fastboot files, don't know if they will work.

In addition to the old psyman firmware, I also flashed the latest firmware from here: https://xdaforums.com/redmi-note-3/development/firmware-hmnote3proglobal-t3574361

I'm not sure if the older firmware was necessary, I think the newer firmware will just overwrite, but just in case I flashed them both.

So:

1. psyman firmware

2. new firmware

3. LOS

4. GAPPS (take stock, because the camera you get when flashing pico does not work properly)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] bloodytolits:
I tried the 20 mb fastboot file on my out of the box (literally just 10 min. After opening)kate, and it worked.
