this guide is ambiguous and clueless

i tried myself and not working at all

if you just wanted to use custom rom or simply root or xppsed, you can do it with a locked bootloader. check the thread.

Not working

This method doesn't worked for miui 8. I am using redmi note 3 snapdragon version
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] MrStark007:
Why don't you try the official method ?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] hellboyborn:
Awesome

Thanks Ranching for this useful post. It worked great on the latest MIUI. Without this command it was not getting unlocked.

For others who are attempting to unlock, this method still working great. I was unable to unlock using official method, it was throwing that ****ty error related to account mismatch. After following the OP guide, put the phone in fastboot mode again and give the command "fastboot oem unlock-go". I was on latest MIUI, updated to developer Version: 7.7.20 . Now its rocking resurrection remix.

Why does it ask for a password. Both System and TWRP?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] triplec0re:
Because your phone is encrypted. You can wipe all your data in fastboot mode using "fastboot -w" and then can use TWRP to flash a custom rom. I believe this is the only way, but maybe another user can prove me wrong there.

If you do so, it would be nice if you could give me feedback on what ROM you flashed and whether your mobile data works on it. I am currently having issues with that and would like to know, if it works for other people.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] kosue:
Thx, I unlocked a Redmi note 3 pro SE (Kate) on miui 9 7.11.2.

If by flash you mean ROM flash then try this: format data in TWRP (not wipe data, but format data, pay attention). Note: everything will be formated including internal storage so make sure you make backup.

As long as the android version is not updated, it will work on any version of miui. Try decompiling a boot.img from the all the types of miui verion roms. There's no basic difference if they are of the same android version.

I am finally able to install custom rom(lineageOs) from this guide! Thank you so much for this guidance! I have received activation bootloader message from xiaomi almost 1 year or more of that but I failed at 99%.l have tried everything but got no luck with that. I have redmi note 3 kenzo. To do so I have downgraded to miui 7.1.8 and unlocked bootloader unofficially but in that rom, imei is lost. So I have installed miui 8(don't know exact version) and then i have flashed this rom[in mi flash tool I activated save user data(or something like it, it is middle button) radio button]. And then in edl mode I unlocked bootloader with code(fastboot oem device-info then fastboot oem unlock-go). After setup of miui 8 I have installed twrp with help of flasher tool kit. Thanks again for this rom!:good:

Can someone help me? Thank you.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sid_285:
You just have to go to fastboot mode. Just hardboot your device after flashing rom in edl mode.

Hardboot can be done by pressing volume down+power button for some time and keep pressing untill you see fastboot mode.

If you have unlocked bootloader unofficially then surely miui gives slow performance and have issues on magisk safety check, so better to go with custom roms and try to stay away from miui roms.

Thank you for the link. I bricked the phone and got it repaired from Mi service center.

--I unlocked bootloader successfully

--Installed TWRP

--Tried root, but didnt quite work well. was stuck with some 7.X rom

--Phone booted well, was working fine with older MIUI version

--I got a great idea to upgrade firmware(not sure why i thought about this)

--Flashed Firmware from Strixx's Official Lineage OS 14.1 thread

--Phone went Kaput :P, it would boot to Fastboot, EDL and just reboot only.

--Took it to Mi service center and then reloaded the entire OS. Fresh as new.

Have a question.

How is this method ? :
