Did anyone use the second method on the latest Global Dev ROM successfully? It seemed to work everything for me with the official LineageOS 7.1 build on my kate, but today I noticed that mobile data does not work (with correct APN set), so I think this might be an issue of this method, since it would probably have been reported in the LineageOS thread by other users by now if it was a problem with the ROM.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sreekantt:
I tried 2nd method... Twrp flashed flawlessly but after that when i wipe everything & flash los14. 1 or RR roms.... It flashes everything perfectly but when i reboot for d 1st boot..... Mi logo appears & disappears for a second & black screen appears

To get everything back... I need to flash fastboot 8.5.7.0... Any help/suggestion guys??

Can I use Twrp to install Su root after using this method or do I still need to unlock bootloader?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] peterfarge:
I followed the instructions: Unlock the bootloader, installed twrp with fastboot, wiped and formatted the storages and installed several lineage 14.1 nightlybuild roms with adb sideload. But the problem stays: After the Xiaomi Logo there is a green bow with a moving point (I think its the lineage logo, I never used lineage). Then nothing happens, only every ~20 secounds a short vibration and the smartphone becomes very hot. Can someone tell me what I should do to get lineage running?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] hasan4791:
Why dont u flash the rom from recovery instead adb sideload...
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] peterfarge:
You mean install from TWRP? I tried it the first time, but lineage wont start. So I thought maybe the nightly build could be broken. I have no possibility to put another lineage build in the smartphone except adb sideload. Currently the phone is empty, because I used the format option. After connecting the phone to the PC, I cannot transfer data on it via USB cable. The phone has no external sdcard. So currently I stick with adb sideload.

EDIT:

1. Via adb sideload I can write the xiaomi global rom to the phone. But not Lineage, why?

2. What does the periodical vibration while the lineage startup mean?

3. I will try to put the Lineage Rom in the smartphone and then I try to install it via recovery.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] hasan4791:
On recovery, ur phone will still be accessible via mtp... If not try Red wolf recovery if you are on 3gb/32 device
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] peterfarge:
In Recovery, there was no possibility to put files on the phone.

I have re-done exactly the manual from this page, now it works thanks :)

The try before I used this german manual where I have to unlock the bootloader, put twrp on the phone and flash the rom. But after flashing it sticks on the Lineage startup screen with perodical vibrations. After flashing with one of the xiaomi Roms, twrp was gone again :(

Anway this manuel works :)

If I follow the procedure but flashing with fastboot method and not EDL method, will I end up in something bad?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] razr96:
You can, if the bootloader is unlocked. But there's no point then, because in such cases you would just flash twrp with fastboot normally.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] RKRN3@1997:
But I do want the bootloader to be locked. That's why I asked if fastboot flash in place of EDL-fastboot flash will work or not.

I have RN3P(kate) . I'm on miui 8.5.3.0 global . Which method do I use ???
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] mehrshad.shafaghi:
I have an unlocked bootloader. I have already flashed RWRP and Cardinal oreo rom. Can I just go and lock my bootloader using fastboot oem lock command? Would it end into something bad?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] k23m:
I'm not sure if "oem lock" works on RN3P but if it did then your Cardinal ROM would never boot again. The OP's bootloader is special as it does not check ROM's signature, but don't expect the same from other/newer bootloaders.

Anyway, why would you want to re-lock it? If you need security and privacy then just encrypt your stuff, no need for re-locking.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] dustmalik:
Does this method of yours or the one in the OP also work on Mido?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] razr96:
I don't think so. You need MIUI 6.11.3 or earlier (future versions have this exploit patched), and Mido was released after that version.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] RKRN3@1997:
Don't. It locks and u need to unlock again using the unlock tool.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] dustmalik:
Right. Thanks for the clarification.

I have Kenzo and I have followed the steps you provided to unlock the bootloader and install the custom rom. But when I install the custom rom, it gets stuck on the boot screen of the ROM. I tried to install other custom roms too, but the same problem occurs. But mi fastboot rom is installed and started successfully, with wifi not working and the rom is also restarting occasionally. Can you please tell me what could have possibly gone wrong while unlocking the bootloader?

I have twrpv3.x.x which is running well without constant reboots.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ambeatz:
Hi Khajit thank you very much for the tutorial, I think I am going to flash lineage on my kendo device aswell, I just want to find out, as you said in your tutorial the bootloader will be locked and we will still have that extra layer of security, I just want to make sure before I flash my phone that I will still be able to use all my banking apps and stuff as I am using on stock miui?

please help! i have been previously using cm13.1 for a year, with bootload unlocked UNOFFICIALLY. As i have twrp alrdy installed (as I need to have one to install 13.1), I did a clean wipeout of everything davik, internal storage etc, and install lineage OS 14.1 from the link provided here. However, I am not able to boot past the loading screen. Furthermore, when the phone is first loaded, it still has the CyanogenMod logo, isit common? what should i do now..
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Celesteela:
Just follow the steps in method 1 correctly.

Or just flash a fastboot stock rom if u just want a working phone.

Clean flash your current ROM and GApps.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] inchvbeam:
oh my, dang i dont hv unlocked bootloader. Have clean flash Gapps. would like to avoid flashing lineageOS sigh. Btw im using Cofface Twrp 3.0.0. Is there a newer version of "cofface" or all versions of Twrp are similar?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] RKRN3@1997:
Newest one is 3.2.1. Btw, since you use Kenzo, use any other TWRP like RedWolf, etc... And this guide just let you use custom ROMs with locked bootloader. So no worries for that.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] inchvbeam:
Thank you for replying. Im using Kate, not Kenzo -> Any other recommendation on the TWRP

My Cofface 3.0.0 was installed when I was flashed in CM13.0. I use the cofface to flash in Lineage 14.1 so I think its a little buggy. Can I use the install new TWRP and how do I proceed with doing that?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] RKRN3@1997:
RedWolf is for both Kenzo and Kate, so no worries. Always use latest TWRP for less issues. Flashing process is same for all recoveries. Wipe everything except internal storage and OTG in 'Advanced Wipe' options in wipe and flash the ROM and GApps. You can also use the default 'swipe to wipe' in place of what I said.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] inchvbeam:
Sorry but any guide to help me flash to RedWolf TWRP if i have a locked bootloader? Thanks so much.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] RKRN3@1997:
If you have Cofface currently, just flash RedWolf as an image file. You can do that by going to install and then selecting 'Image file' and then flash it the normal way.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] inchvbeam:
does it mean i reboot to recovery and flash RedWolf as though im flashing a rom or flashing gapps? thank you.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] RKRN3@1997:
Similar to what you said but choose 'image file' while installing to see the Recovery.img

Have you checked the hashes with official 6.11.3 ROM?

Are they provided as or any modifications to be able to flash custom recoveries? Like, from thread unlock bootloader unofficially, flash modified files to unlock unofficial way
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] J4jks:
Followed second method, installed AEX N.

Then I wanted to update firmware , downloaded firmware zip from sauravs thread emmc included zip after flashing it device just doesn't boot just splash screen and closes

Again followed second method from OP ,didn't loss any data

So, if I want updated firmware ,I should not flash updated boot loader (emmc) .

Can I update firmware with emmc if I follow first method, flashing whole firmware with replaced recovery?

Has anybody tried this?

I had a stock Kenzo on MIUI 9.1 which had become sluggish as hell. I followed the exact same steps as mentioned, I was able to succefully boot into redwolf twrp but after that when I re-boot to system from recovery, the phone is stuck at Mi logo. As of writing, I am able to access redwolf recovery but it seems to be unable to mount internal storage because when I try flashing LOS I don't even see the contents of my Internal Storage and in mount menu it can't mount data partition for some reason, please help

Hi, I am in the same situation now, how did you manage to resolve the issue and run OREO ROM on old unoficially unlocked LollyPop bootloader? thanks
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] RKRN3@1997:
Just flash the new firmware without the emmc file.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] paradoxxman:
thanks for your answer, but I have an old Lolipop bootloader which is unoficially unlocked and I just updated to redfox TWRP

I have on the phone ressurection remix android 6.0 marshmallow but with unoficially unlocked Lolipop bootloader

so I understand this: if I upgrade to this last firmware without the emmc file it means that it won't upgrade my bootloader at all, that means it will remain the old Lolipop one unoficially unlocked

so my questions are:

1).will I be able to flash Nougat or Oreo custom ROMS if I upgrade the firmware without emmc file but I will STILL be on very old Lolipop bootloader? (as I understand newer Oreo ROMS need newer bootloader)

2).or I'm better updating the firmware with emmc file included, that means it will lock my bootloader but will also upgrade it to the newest bootloader so I'll be able to install newer Oreo ROMS ?

regarding my second question, I would use the 2nd method in this thread to install custom ROMS with locked bootloader

please advice what is the simplest way for me to install OREO custom ROMS with a very old unoficially unlocked Lollipop bootloader

thanks in advance!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] RKRN3@1997:
Better, do this:

Again flash the mentioned MIUI MM version as clean flash in EDL Mode. This way, you will be on MM bootloader. Next, flash the latest firmware without emmc file, this should get your bootloader to be on the recent one. Then you can flash any ROM. I am right now on Pie on locked bootloader, so this method indeed works.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] paradoxxman:
thanks, do you happen to have a link for the adequate MIUI MM version? must be a fastboot one?

if I flash the most recent firmware together with the emmc file won't be the same thing? I mean I'll have the latest bootloader and it will also be locked, so wouldn't be the same thing like flashing MIUI MM just for the updated bootloader?

I have a TWRP backup of the phone with current ressurectioin remix MM, in case of messing with the bootloader, can I restore my working MM bakup?

please excuse me, because I haven't flashed any other combination of ROMs since a very long time ago and just now have decided that I could re-use my Note3 phone which was left forgotten in a drawer, so I am curious how would it operate on these new ROMS
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] RKRN3@1997:
The link for that 6.11.3 MIUI version (fastboot file) has been posted by OP in the first page.

Flashing newest firmware with emmc would lock your bootloader, which means that the method described here won't work since it got patched after MIUI 6.11.3 Beta. So, go with what I said before for a smooth transition.

Messing the bootloader won't be solved by recovery at all since it will have the updated bootloader which will prevent any form of flashing or restoration.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] paradoxxman:
I have taken the risk and used the 2-nd method in this thread to flash over my old LP unoficially unlocked bootloader without any new MIUI ROM flash in between...it was directly over ResurectionRemix MM and now I have new bootloader and Nitrogen OS Oreo 8.1 working perfectly

thanks for your time!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ktuky:

2 quick questions while I wait for my phone to arrive ^^

1) Does MiFlash (with EDL) allow you to backup the phone before overwriting it?

2) Does this only work with ZCX TWRP? Or can I use any TWRP recovery image?

PS: I'm assuming there is no difference in recovery between Kenzo & Kate
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] khajiit:
1) You don't need to backup anything before overwriting stock recovery. If you wipe your phone with MiFlash and install official MIUI it's like you never touched the phone. But i guess if you want a backup from MIUI anyway: click here for a guide

2) It does work with other recoveries as well but imo you should stick to ZCX. (never had problems with it)
