HARDWARE MODs
DISCLAIMER
AS ALWAYS DO ON YOUR OWN RISK. HARDWARE MOD can potentially damage or burn your device
don´t come to cry if your phone xploded,nuclear blasted or melted​
Use 2 sim + 1 Micro SD card at the same time​
Is not that hard and will be easy for less experienced hobbyists
So here we go : (pictures are bellow)
--Micro-SIM heated above a under cup of HOT coffee or HOT tea or HARIRA for a few seconds until the plastic was soft.
--gently bent down the soft plastic then and slide the gold-plated part(chip with contact plate). This part bend in any case! Now you have a MICRONANO-SIM (still smaller than Nano-SIM).
--Super Glue MICRONANO SIM on the SD card.the sim card will be a little over the edge of the SD card, as the drawer of the phones it has a recess. (SIM is 90 degrees rotated to the SD card inserted) Had me the exact position of the SIM previously penciled in pencil on the SD card. Recommendation: During the gluing, cover the terminals of the SD card with tape to prevent superglue boils.
--DONE
PICTURES : por it didn´t happen)

I get error because it's a wrong android version, I have 5.1 and the file is for 5.0 version

Screenshot please

Root genius does not work at all for rooting the global stable rom

Quick query - I just got the phone, and I have the global 7.1.7.0 version. So if I want to switch to the developer ROM, I just have to download the updater file, choose the package from the updater section in settings and just flash it? No need for root or bootloader unlocking?

I can't get te screenshot because I remove it.
But it's logic, the Xposed files that you uploaded are for Redmi Note 3 Hennesy (MTK) not Kenzo (SD) because MTK uses MIUI 7 based on 5.0.1 and SD uses MIUI 7 based on android 5.1.0.
SDK21 is for Android 5.0.1 and SDK22 is for Android 5.1.0 You known what I mean?
---------- Post added at 05:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:07 PM ----------
I downloaded it from here and it works (look at "*MIUI 6/7 BASED ON Android 5.1.X only" section, 64-bit processor)
http://en.miui.com/thread-78894-1-1.html

The unlocking method with the Dev ROM doesn't work for me It still says that "Your device isn't supported by Mi Unlock"

thanks for the heads up i mixed the files. OP updated

Hi @Perfectdevil
Firstly, thank you very much for creating this thread for the Redmi Note 3 PRO.
Second, please check the information in your OP. The China DEV ROM 6.3.17 does indeed have ROOT - you just need to enable it from the Security/Permissions App. This will download and install an update providing native root access. It's not quite as useful as SuperSU but it does work.
Please check your instructions for loading TWRP because this method (which was originally posted by @feds64 on Mi Forums) does not result in a permanent TWRP installation. (TWRP disappears after reboot). This is all explained in thread on MI forums, and the only way to get it to work is to flash a cracked boot.img.
Without a lasting TWRP (or with stock recovery only) things like Flashify just won't work. So we can't use Flashify to flash Xposed without TWRP. And if you have TWRP, then Flashify is not necessary.
Anyway, look forward to more info here.

Flashfire requires SuperSU (doesn't seem to work with native root).
And TWRP is required to install SuperSU

Infrequently used modes, like document readjustment, are presented as plug-ins to save internal memory on your phone.
• Contacts Customization and sharing features added to name cards. The sharing feature allows quick sharing of contacts through Bluetooth, Facebook, and other methods. Added a scanner to the search box and lock screen, making it easier to add new contacts.
• Email Improved how unread emails are tagged in the inbox. Users can now quickly delete, star, and mark emails as read or unread from the left sliding menu.
• Settings Created a new suggested settings feature that recommends key settings based on the device's current status. Now, your phone is more capable of adjusting to your habits. Added a newly designed drawer feature. When this feature is enabled, it hides non-system preset apps in a drawer on the home screen, presenting you with a simple and tidy layout. Added a new drawer feature for settings. For settings that take two or more steps to set up, the user can now jump directly back to the main settings page with one gesture. Emergency information added. Users can add their names, blood type, and other information, so emergency services personnel can view this information from the lock screen. Added App twin, a feature that allows users to log in to two different accounts for third-party apps such as WhatsApp and Facebook.

Software intallation filed on 39% with dload method :crying:

I'm not sure why, but I had to use twrp-3.0.2-0-next.img version of TWRP (use the link in the OP but change "twrp-3.0.3.img" to "twrp-3.0.2-0-next.img"). The 3.0.3 version posted in the OP just caused my phone to hang when going into recovery.
With 3.0.2-0-next, it allowed me to complete the Zip installs. Really loving Nougat on this phone!

Dload still not working
There are files that can't be updated via dload that's why it fails.
Best is to install via HiSuite or TWRP!
As usual @sillanwali quick and on the target

These files that are missing, are they something that a user can insert to the .app folder, or is it something Huawei bakes into it?
Cheers.

Yes I tried Hisuite and it said I'm on the latest official firmware too. But I'm on l09c636b170 so I think it's stuck in the past.

I'm using it in Australia too. Maybe its prohibiting us from getting a newer version?

I've installed 3 updates, 2 were beta and now this B521 but its build numer always stay as NRD90M test-keys. HISuite says im already on last version. Quite confusing

[GUIDE] Flash CrDroid 9.5, A13 build.20.05, Magisk Delta, Pass SafetyNet, Hide Root

W.I.P. - UPDATED on 21.05.2023​​Assumptions of reader,​PRIOR to following this guide:​​
You understand that you follow anything seen here of your own volition.
Your Bootloader is unlocked.
Able to troubleshoot your device, setups, installs, unlocking, rooting, etc.
Capable of searching on XDA/Github/Telegram/Google for missing information and files.
This guide outlines the process I used to clean install the following:​TWRP-3.7.0_12-v7.8_A13_FBEv2-lmi-skkk.img
CrDroid v9.5/ A13/build-02.06.2023
NikGapps-T FULL package, 09.06.2023

Test root detection, Pass SafetyNet Basic Attestation
​PIXEL LAUNCHER ISSUE;
On CrDroid ROMs :
Due to CrDroid Home/Stock Launcher having its own QuickStep built-in, it cannot be installed alongside Pixel Launcher, nor vice versa.
This concerns the Pixel Launcher included in some NikGApps package AND the Pixel Launcher addon.
Therefore, you/we can ONLY use CrDroid Home/Stock Launcher OR Pixel Launcher,
The Pixel Launcher section of your nikgapps.config should look like this to avoid any issues with CrDroid Home Launcher ;
PixelLauncher=1
# Pixel Launcher set to 0 to skip its installation over CrDroid Home Launcher
PixelLauncher=0
DevicePersonalizationServices=1
QuickAccessWallet=1
GoogleWallpaper=1
SettingsServices=1
PrivateComputeServices=1
#Pixel Themes set to 0 to avoid issues with CrDroid Home Launcher
PixelThemes=0
#For Live Captions to work, the follwing must be enabled, i.e. set to 1.
DevicePersonalizationServices=1
SettingsServices=1
PrivateComputeServices=1
More details on using the NikGApps config file can be found here.
​A Clean Flashing/Install Environment:​
We first need to establish a clean environment.
Opinions may vary, but I will be clean flashing a stock MIUI ROM via fastboot.
For this, I will be using two software programs and one file;​
Mi Flash Tool v20220507, or later, from here https://xiaomitools.com/mi-flash-tool-ru/
7-zip file archiver, from here, 7-zip
You will also need the stock MIUI Rom from here; https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/lmi/stable
- make sure the details are as below ;​
Device: POCO F2 Pro Global​
Codename: lmi​
Version: V14.0.1.0.SJKMIXM​
Branch: Stable​
Type: Fastboot​
Size: 5.1 GB​
Release Date: 2023-03-17​
Package Name: lmi_global_images_V14.0.1.0.SJKMIXM_20230317.0000.00_12.0_global_15e376c371.tgz
This is a ".tgz" file and will need to be extracted to obtain the ".tar" file.
Which will then have to be extracted to obtain the images' folder.
The images' folder should be placed on the Desktop, as that is the default working folder now for the Mi Flash Tool.​
Note: It is entirely up to you to use the RECOVERY version instead of the FASTBOOT version, but please remember if you did, in the event that you encounter issues, it may help you to troubleshoot accordingly.
Now we can proceed.
The Flashing Process:
​An excellent guide on using the tool made by @NOSS8 can be found here; https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/miflash-guide-use-xiaomi-flash-tool.4262425/​​01. Extract the Mi Flash Tool archive.
02. Open the Mi Flash Tool folder and create a folder called 'log'.
03. This is to avoid an error when we have to authenticate our Mi account.
04. Open the Mi Flash Tool app and select 'Authentication'.
05. Log in with the same credentials you used for your Xiaomi/Mi account and/or to unlock your Bootloader.
06. Select English.
07. Enter your details and wait for the "Login successful[CN]" message, like below, then MINIMISE that window.

Spoiler: images' folder
13. On your device, Developer Settings/Options must be enabled.
14. Place your device into fastboot mode.
15. Now connect your device to your computer with your data cable.
16. Verify the device is connected by using "fastboot devices" in a terminal window.
Upon confirmation, we can proceed.
17. Verify that at the bottom of the Mi Flash Tool Window that you have selected the "clean all" radio button and that to its right you can see "flash_all.bat" in the drop-down box.
Spoiler: clean all radio button
18. Now you can click, "flash" and the process will begin.
Spoiler: flash result; success
19. Eventually you will see 'success' highlighted in green under "result", shortly after which your device should reboot to system for the first time, in this order; POCO boot logo > MIUI boot animation > Activation screen..
20. It should ask you to connect to a Wi-Fi network, so you can activate the device.
21. Tap "Open Wi-Fi Settings", select the network of your choosing, enter the password, under Advanced Options when entering the password, I usually select Device/Stable MAC because I have had issues with Randomised MAC in the past.
22. Confirm your connection then back out to the main screen to "Activate this device", enter your login details.
23. The MIUI setup process will begin, agree/yes to everything EXCEPT restoring your Google account.
Skip/Ignore the account restoration process as it is a waste of time, we're here for Custom ROMs mate.
DO NOT PUT A PIN/SCHEMA/PASSWORD.
24. Eventually you'll get to the Home Screen, where you'll see the Settings icon in the middle, open it.
25. Now go, Settings > About Phone > All specs > Tap MIUI version until it says Developer Settings unlock, normally 7 taps I think.
26. Now go, Settings > Additional Settings > (scroll to bottom) Developer options > enable USB Debugging, I'm aware etc., 10 sec countdown, tap OK.
Done, now we can get to flashing a Custom Recovery and then our Custom ROM.
27. Reboot your device to fastboot, "adb reboot bootloader" or any other method.
28. Locate your recovery image (TWRP-3.7.0_12-v7.8_A13_FBEv2-lmi-skkk.img) and, using a terminal window, 'cd' to the directory. Then use "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" to flash your recovery. After which, use "fastboot reboot recovery" to boot your recovery.
29. Assuming TWRP, under the "Wipe" category, perform a Factory Reset" then Wipe Data, after which, REBOOT TO RECOVERY.
30. Copy the ROM and NikGApps to the device, flash the ROM, reboot to recovery, flash NikGApps, reboot to recovery, factory rest and format data, reboot to system.
(Some will say this is excessive but from my perspective, it has eliminated many issues I was having when flashing ROMS)
31. Complete your device first boot setup.
So at this point, I will assume you have done as I have and waited to have restored your Google backup, WhatsApp etc.
EDIT; DUE TO A NEWLY RELEASED TWRP, THE MAGISK DELTA APK CAN BE RENAMED TO .ZIP AND FLASHED FROM RECOVERY WITH THE TWRP LINKED AT THE TOP OF THIS THREAD
Spoiler: Deprecated steps
32. Reboot to recovery. Here you will notice that you cannot mount the Data partition. As of the 9th January, 2023 there is no recovery for our device that can decrypt A13 ROMs, so when rooting the device we will be using "adb sideload" to send and flash Magisk.
33. In your recovery (assuming TWRP), go to Advanced > ADB Sideload, don't wipe Dalvik/Cache > Swipe to start ADB Sideload.
34. In a Command Prompt or Terminal window, opened as Administrator, use ADB sideload by entering the command similarly as seen here;
35. Reboot to System > install the Magisk Delta 25.2 delta 6 apk > open the app > ensure that the installed version is "a0b2003b-delta (25206)"
36. Install Magisk Delta by flashing the apk you have renamed to .zip as mentioned above.
36a. Go to Magisk Delta App > Settings and change the following :
Enable DNS over HTTPS
HIDE the Magisk App
Tap on Systemless Hosts once if you want to use an adblocker like AdAway later on.
Enable Zygisk
Enable Bootloop Protection
Enable MagiskHide
REBOOT
37. Now go to > Configure MagiskHide > search for these apps and use these settings;
For Google Play Store, enable it for com.android.vending
For Google Play Services, enable it for com.google.android.gms AND com.google.android.gms.unstable
You can go ahead and add detection apps like AppList Detector, MOMO, TB Checker etc.
38. In Magisk, flash Universal SafetyNet Fix 2.4.0 and Zygisk LSPosed 1.8.5-6649
REBOOT
39. Allow the shortcut of LSPosed to be added to your Home Screen, open LSPosed, tap the Respository button on the bottom-left side and search for and then install Hide My AppsList 3.1.1, tap on the notifcation and enable the app/module in LSPosed, then REBOOT.
40. Open Hide My Applist > Template Manage > Create a blacklist template with whatever name you want, I just use 'Blacklist' > Edit list > Add the Magisk app and Hide My Applist > back out and the changes will be saved.
41. Open Hide My Applist > App Manage > Search and select your detection apps, and Google Play Store and Services. Ensure that you can see the word "Enabled" next to the selected apps' names, open each and Enabled hide, then under Template config, tap "Using 0 templates" and select the Blacklist you just made.
42. Reboot and check your detection apps, they should look like this;
Spoiler: Detection Apps

Great guide, thanks for your hard work.

Just rename the .apk to .zip and you can flash it.

I don't even own this phone but this guide it's very good.
typo edit:
30. Copy the ROM and GApps to the device, flash the ROM, reboot to recovery, flash GApps, reboot to recovery, factory rest and format data, reboot to system.

"factory rest and format data" - "factory *reset and format data"

"Enable MagiskHide
REBOOT
37. Now go to > Configure MagiskHide > search for these apps and use these settings; "
Is this prefered ? I use SuList mode . Am I wrong and shold use "configure MagiskHide" instead ?
"Pass Basic SafetyNet Attestation - Universal SafetyNet Fix 2.4.0 by kdrag0n"
It works correct on Poco F3 but not on Poco F2 Pro (Crdroid). I suggest to use working :
Releases · Displax/safetynet-fix
Google SafetyNet attestation workarounds for Magisk - Displax/safetynet-fix
github.com

KernelSU and/or SUList will not be implemented in the guide until I start using it.
This SafetyNet fix is no longer needed on CrDroid 9.5 20.05 build, but thank you for this, though, I hope it helps someone if they encounter issues.

OP Updated.

Good looking out, I think I got all the typos, if not most this time around when I updated the guide a little.

You're welcome!
The process outlined can work for many ROMs, but I focus on CrDroid because I use it as my daily driver.
I'll try my best to update it as often as I can (once/twice every two weeks) but for the moment I have exams.

Gonna made a rom installation round.
I'll tell you if the guide works on other roms

With lastest TWRP FBEv2, all roms installed with no issues.
I´m having problems (i hope i will solve it) with the fastboot full rom installation. I think new version on twrp has an option to prevent from installing new recovery checked by default, so brand new miui installation always fails.
On your next update of the guide, maybe you need to point about this

Thanks for reminding me about FBEv2, needed to add that in for some time.
I just updated the guide after following the steps, changing/adding only the recent builds of TWRP FBEv2, CrDroid 9.5, NikGapps.
I had no issue at the fastboot clean flash section, using the TWRP linked in the guide.
I require more specificity on the issues related to the fastboot clean flash, so I can reproduce them on my side and write a detailed solution/circumvention into the guide.
Thanks for looking out @Lughsen

lots of unneeded step, i succesfully do it 5x faster than this.
coming from miui13:
ubl, flash latest twrp, reboot reovery
format data, reboot recovery
flash latest fw>rom>nik core>magisk official>reboot system
after boot, open magisk>direct install>reboot
open magisk, install unisafetynetfix>magiskhidepropconf, enable zygisk, reboot
open magisk, deny playstore stuff
all works fine, safetynet passed.
i wonder why you need to torture yourself by going full miui flash and lsposed.
