Unlock Bootloader officially without any Errors​

Warning:-I will be not responsible for any thing goes wrong with your device. Do it on your own risk.

Requirements :- Pc with drivers installed, MI flash Tool, mi unlock tool, mi account with unlock permissions already granted, redmi note 3(obviously) and common sense.

Reason for sharing :- There are many users who still are not officially unlocked. The main reason is that they got stuck in binding MI account or stuck at 99% on Mi unlock tool. I also faced same issue. So i tried to unlock with China Developer Rom and without binding i was able to unlock officially. I have tried this method on Kenzo. For Kate Devices its little different. Some have lost hope of unlocking officially since device is quite old but try it. It may help you.

For Kenzo :-
Step 1 :- Download the latest China Developer Rom for Redmi Note 3. Link given below
http://bigota.d.miui.com/8.11.22/kenzo_images_8.11.22_20181122.0000.00_6.0_cn_a0316924f3.tgz (kenzo)
Step 2 :- Flash the above fastboot rom using mi flash tool setting option CLEAN ALL AND LOCK. And boot to system.
Step 3 :- Now bind your MI ACCOUNT. If it fails do not panic.
Step 4 :- Boot to fastboot mode and connect to PC having Mi unlock tool Running.
Step 5 :- After you are officially Unlocked. Simply flash a Kenzo global Firmware.

For Kate :-
Step 1 :- Download the latest China Developer Rom for Kenzo and latest Global Stable Rom for Kate . Links given below
http://bigota.d.miui.com/8.11.22/kenzo_images_8.11.22_20181122.0000.00_6.0_cn_a0316924f3.tgz (kenzo)
http://bigota.d.miui.com/V10.2.1.0....XM_20190114.0000.00_6.0_global_52f71e4360.tgz (Kate)
Step 2 :- Extract both the fastboot rom folders. Now go to Kate Images and Copy NON-HLOS.bin to Kenzo Images folder and replace it.
Step 3 :- Now flash the Kenzo China Rom on your Kate using Mi Flash Tool setting option CLEAN ALL AND LOCK. And boot to system.
Step 4 :- Now bind your MI ACCOUNT. If it fails do not panic.
Step 5 :- Boot to fastboot mode and connect to PC having Mi unlock tool Running.
Step 6 :- After you are officially Unlocked. Simply flash a Kate global Firmware.

Step 7 :- Flash Custom Roms and Enjoy.

Hello,
I tried this method on the Kate model but the mi flash tool shows the error "device mismatch". Any idea how to proceed and official unlock the bootloader on my Kate? Thanks for any hints.

With official support drop6, the most easy method is :
1. Download TWRP_ZCX for Kenzo.
2. Boot to EDL mode.
3. Flash recovery.
4. Important ! From EDM mode, press vol UP + Power and reboot to recovery (do not Boot to system otherwise you'll have to do from step 2 again).
5. Allow TWRP to modify system so as not to get replaced.
DONE ! ENJOY !
6. (Optional) Flash Latest OrangeFox , its better !
