developer rom for redmi note - kate?

[Gadgetguy2005]

Hello all,

I have just received my International (kate - 152mm version) Redmi Note 3.

One of the first things I wanted to do was to root it, so I can remove some of the spyware.

I got the authorization code from Mi, but when I use the unlocker app, it always stops at 50%.

So I did a lot of research, and I realized that first I need to flash a developer rom - then I can unlock.

So: the question is - which version of the developer rom should I use?

Thank you for any pointers.

official unlock worked for me with last 6.10.13 global dev. i turned find my device first, then added my MI account in developer options->unlock status, and it worked flawlesly. eagerly waiting for official twrp

It is not possible to unlock bootloader on Kate model.
Even with the authorization form Xiaomi.

You don't need to officially unlock.
There is a tutorial here on XDA how to load twrp on locked bootloader and flash cm13 from it.
I'm using it right now without any issues.
