As the title said, I got a chinese Redmi 3 Pro (from this site) and I want to install the current global stable rom.
I asked xiaomi the unlock code and I got it (as stated in the italian directions from the website where I bought it), but before starting I just want to check that I was doing the right thing and ask a few questions.
I have some previous experience with my Mi4i, but better safe than sorry.
I will unlock the device with MiFlashUnlock, and after that I will boot twrp (fastboot boot twrp.img) and wipe System, Data and Boot partitions and then install the global stable rom from this link.
Is this correct or I will need to do other things?
What is the difference between the official global stable and the xiaomi.eu version? If I choose the xiaomi.eu version will I have ota updates or I will need to reflash manually the updates?
In the xiaomi forum there are threads about the MIUI8 global stable, but the download link point to the MIUI7. I will get the OTA update after flashing MIUI7?
Thanks

man that link contains official global rom and if you flash it you will either bootloop or you will loose your bootloader and it will be locked again.so download global stable from xiaomi.eu if you want unlocked bootloader and global stable rom.am doing the same.you should be on china dev rom to unlock bootloader.after that boot into fastboot mod and use miunlock to unlock bootloader.then use miflash app.its on xda.its a windows app.use it to install twrp then download your stable rom from xiaomi.eu and go to recovery.wipe data and system.and flash that rom then flash latest super su 2.76 then you will be on global stable with root.enjoy
