Is there a boot loader or something needed to be unlock ?

and if not like in your method can we directly install custom ROMs available for MI3 ??

no bootloader unlock thing.. and yes you can install custom rom directly via recovery

 

[viki_beginner]

thanks for the response..

But can i install it on my Second system.. without affecting system one ??

As i can see here Data is shared between both sys1 n sys2.. how m i supposed to change that.. ( Recovery with dualboot enabled will do ??)

yes,
after flashing a TDB (True DualBoot) recovery, and enable TDB, the data will not share between System 1 and 2

I use it for a couple of time,
System 1 - WIUI
System 2 - different Roms (always Switch between stable and dev)

no probs so far

well I dont have issues forwarding the phone but incase of any issues you need to deal with flipkart as according to the bill you will receive ,as I am not sure if I change the shipping address to your name so will the generate bill in your name
and you already up with the signature sent from mi3 and if the other guy don't respond by 7 I will forward it to you but atleast he deserve a fair chance as he as busy with exam

So you just have it placed in cart and waiting to pay right? I you can do a cod to my address I'll get the phone you'd get bill on your mail which you can forward to me.. That's right I scored one in first sale but I'm giving mine to my cousin who stays in remote area and cant get 1 on his own and hence I tried on ever consecutive sale but didn't get any.
The boy sure deserves a pref . I'll wait till 7 and you can let me know post that
