TheDj408 · Mar 24, 2016

Hello Everyone,

I've shown the complete procedure in above video, you can follow that else guide is down below too!

Unlocked bootloader is must in order to do this! If you do not have unlocked bootlaoder then here is How to Unlock bootloader-

Here are the steps-

Download these files
ADB folder- https://goo.gl/BYCvea
TWRP recovery- https://goo.gl/XfrRUY
Modified boot image - https://goo.gl/E5pGDw
[The above boot image is only for 7.1.8.0]
Do not flash this if you are not on 7.1.8.0, it will result in loss of wifi or device not booting! {:4_98:}
Huge thanks to @TheStrix from XDA for making the modified boot image! {:4_106:}

1- Boot into Fastboot mode by switching off your device & then holding Power button & Voume - button simultaneously!
2- Flash the modified boot image by using this command- " fastboot flash boot boot.img "
3- Flash TWRP recovery by using this command - " fastboot flash recovery twrp.img "
4- Now boot into TWRp recovery by pressing volume + button & power button together until you see Mi Logo!
5- Now select Install > Select SuperSU zip file > Swipe to install
6- Now hit Reboot System!

You have successfully Rooted your Redmi Note 3 PRO! Enjoy ROOT access now {:m018:}

Your Feedback will be most appreciated
I'll post the updates of boot image file in the description box so kindly keep checking that video if you do not see updates here!

Not a duplicate thread as the thread you mentioned does not have modified boot images of Global build! I appreciate your work but you have not added modified boot images separately

If you dont know then, modified boot image will be different for China stable, developer, Global build ! @Perfectdevil

boot.img contains the linux kernel and the ramdisk, while the default.prop in ramdisk can enable/disable the adb root permission. following is the default.prop contents for a droid product device:

ro.secure=1
ro.allow.mock.location=0
ro.debuggable=0
persist.service.adb.enable=0

droid product device with above default.prop has no adb root permissions if the device is not hacked. the default.prop with the following contents has the adb root permissions by default:

ro.secure=0
ro.allow.mock.location=0
ro.debuggable=1
persist.service.adb.enable=1

to create a boot.img with such default.prop, here is the steps:

split the boot.img: split_bootimg.pl boot.img, after running the command, two files are generated: boot.img-kernel and boot.img-ramdisk.gz.
create a temp folder (e.g. ramdisk), change to that folder, run the following command to extract the boot.img-ramdisk.gz: cat ../boot.img-ramdisk.gz | gzip -d | cpio -idm.
make the changes to the ramdisk file system in ramdisk folder, e.g. change the default.prop file to get adb root permissions.
return the parent folder, and run the following command to recreate the ramdisk package: mkbootfs ./ramdisk | gzip > ramdisk-new.gz
recreate the boot image: mkbootimg --kernel boot.img-kernel --ramdisk ramdisk-new.gz -o boot-new.img

done. flash the boot-new.img to the device with fastboot.

Essentially you just enabled unsecure and auto-enabled adb so that we can adb reboot edl in case of error.
Alright, I saw as much, just wondered if there was anything else that slipped past me.
