So this a new modified emmc_appsboot.mbn for unlocking bootloader via unofficial way.
Whats changed?
Fixed the bug of red LED blinking continuously during charging.
For those who unlocked bootloader via unofficial way from this thread http://forum.miui.co.in/forum/mi-de...5165-redmi-note-3-snapdragon-unlock-the-beast, just use this method to flash the new emmc file:-
1) Reboot to fastboot mode
2) Open CMD and type
fastboot flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn
fastboot flash abootbak emmc_appsboot.mbn
The emmc file must inside the anf folder

For new comers, you can use the same method as the previous one by MAGDAG, just use this new emmc file instead of his.

This new emmc file needs thorough testing, maybe this will also cause hardbricks if MIUI roms are flashed without deleting their default emmc file (inside their rom), maybe this will not cause any such issues but nobody will take the risk of testing that. Just use this new emmc with precautions just like the previous one. How to flash MIUI roms via TWRP after unofficially unlocking bootloader? follow this guide made by me http://en.miui.com/thread-256464-1-1.html

This is not the edited version of MAGDAG's emmc file. This one's is new and needs to be tested.
I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY BRICKED DEVICES.
Please provide feedback if this worked for you. :)

I can understand, If I find the link for full 7.2.3 recovery rom today, I'll post it, if you need modified boot.img you have to first downgrade to 7.1.3.0 and use updater app, it will give a full recovery rom of 1gb for update, find the boot.img of 7.2.3.0 from that zip and modify it then flash.
P.S:- never forget to delete the original emmc_appsboot file in each rom.

I can downgrade to 7.1.8.0 but i hv to flash twice to overcome bootloop
Just scared of using this unofficial method as last time i bricked it and the service center had to replace the motherboard

Is the process of removing emmc file also required for bootloaders which have been unlocked officially ?
And hv u compared the 2 files of unofficial and official method
no only for unofficial method, and I compared both the official and unofficial file they are different but I know of a way by which we can unlock bootloader unofficially but it'll work just like the official way. Need someone who unlocked via official way, then flash twrp version 3.0.0-0(other versions wont work) and reboot to twrp and select backup and then scroll down and select aboot and abootbak, we can use that aboot for us and solve all problems of hardbrick, but no one's helping me :crying:

Thx for mod

my redmi n3p have lock bootloader now

Reacap:
1- flash the global stable 7.1.8 (Magdag metod) with repalce emmc_appsboot.mbn modified by you
2- flash twrp
2- update rom to twrp but deleting the stock emmc_appsboot.mbn inside zip file

It's all correct?

To return to original stock rom flash the latest global stable via EDL?
