Hi everyone. Today I want to share you. How to root new device Redmi Note 3 pro. Unlock bootloader not needed.
1. Enable Developer Functions: Go to Settings, About phone, 7 click on Miui version to enable Developer options.
2. Enable USB debugging: Go to Settings, Additional settings, Developer options, then turn on USB debugging.
3. Download and install this application from here.
static1(dot)romzj(dot)com/file/shuame/root/RootGenius_chrome_3.1.3_setup.exe
(see pictures 1,2,3 what you have to do when install application on PC and follow in reverse order: 3-2-1)

replace the "(dot)" with the punctuation
4. Turn on Wifi or Mobile data.
5. Connect your phone to computer via USB.
(a notif bubble should appear, allow USB debugging on phone)
6. Run the installed application (Root¾«Áé.exe) as admin from your PC, then click on button (picture 4). And wait.
7. Your phone will reboot automatically while process rooting is 65%.
(a notif bubble should appear again, allow USB debugging on phone again after reboot)
8. After this your phone will be rooted.
(If not. Plz go to home screen. Run application again, then click on root icon in menu.)
Good luck all!!!

Does not work properly, breaks installs and security center, cannot install any apks after using this method.
Resets after reboot
Verdict: AVOID

Yes, i can't install any app from play store after "root"... and when you reboot it will be reset completely.

I successfully used this method from 7.1.1.16 Stable (bootloader still locked), and achieved temporary root only. So you can run Titanium Backup etc. and some individual apps which require root.
But no way to replace KingRoot with SuperSU.
Also, root does not survive reboot, and phone resets (takes a long time to reboot) - so cannot install e.g. Xposed (which requires reboot).
The method is safe - no data or apps are lost in the process.
Note I have since updated to 7.1.1.18 Stable, and this method no longer works at all (not even temporary root).
But I guess there is hope?

Now with the latest update rom, this process does not work at all.. The application simply does not do anything

Install the China DEV Rom 6.3.17 Then go to Security, Permissions, Root Access. Done.
How? http://en.miui.com/download-301.html#439
ROM: http://bigota.d.miui.com/6.3.17/miui_HMNote3Pro_6.3.17_6a6a3b709a_5.1.zip

Don't know how you did it w/o unlocking the bootloader.

unable to flash this via updater app, do i need to flash it via miflash tool???

Is this the Note 3 Pro Prime version?

How to flash at locked bootloader, this way does't worked or I'm doing something wrong.

I tried this method a while ago and SuperSume did NOT work on the RN3Pro.
Things might have changed but why would you even bother with KingoRoot?
Just root directly from developer ROM then install SuperSu from Play Store, or install TWRP and SuperSU from the start.

So after unlocking BL of stable ROM, and going through all the TWRP/other ways to gain root access - we can just flash to China Dev ROM (+unlocked BL), gain root access via Security>Permissions>Allow root access?

That's what I did, way back on 6.3.17. Once rooted I moved on to flashing TWRP and SuperSU. But if you just want root, then yes.

Thanks. Will the data be wiped when updating to Chinese Dev ROM from Stable Global ROM?

No, - You can try without wiping data but I wouldn't recommend as there are different app sets.
To preserve your data use the intrinsic MIUI backup to backup everything (This will back up all your user apps and settings). Then Wipe data / cache , flash new ROM, and run restore using the same tool. It works perfectly, except you will have to manually reinstate all your Google Accounts. For some reason the MIUI Backup tool doesn't play nicely with Google.

You don't need to erase everything, that is complete horses**t.
First off you need to confirm you have the Exynos international version. If you're on the Snapdragon version, you're s**t out of luck as the bootloader is locked and root isn't possible at this time, nor will it likely ever be.
You then have two option, install CF Autoroot from ODIN and leave your recovery as stock. Or install TWRP over your recovery via ODIN and install SuperSU from a zip file from within TWRP. Either way you won't lose data. See the following threads.
CF Autoroot -- http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/development/sm-g935-exynos-cf-auto-root-t3337354
TWRP - http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/development/recovery-official-twrp-hero2lte-3-0-0-0-t3334084

You only need to erase everything if you want to flash custom roms in twrp. Otherwise you can just root with cf autoroot and you're all set

As the others said, flashing cf autoroot in odin won't erase anything, will leave your phone as is and will add supersu.
You should be aware that by rooting you will trip the knox flag, which permanently breaks samsung pay, and will break the following stuff on the stock rom: private mode, secret mode in the browser with fingerprint authentication (which can later be fixed by flashing a custom Rom).
If you want a properly working twrp recovery, you will have to erase everything, including the internal storage of the phone, there is no way around it.
If you absolutely must have root and you're into custom roms then I say do it now, if you're OK with the stock firmware I would advise not to root. This phone doesn't have too much development and you should not expect too many custom ROMs. I personally regret rooting.

I'm erase mi data because I want to do twrp backups, if you don't want to use a custom recovery for flash Roms and use a nandroid only flash supersu.

Glad I came across this thread, as I was having the same thoughts. How easy is it to just flash recovery back to stock? or do you need to flash the complete firmware package?

Flashing the whole fw of course 1 of the way. Maybe if we can extract stock recovery from the fw then just odin it?.

there are many ways to root
I recommend use TWRP to root with SU apk file

In nougat it will disable access to data folder and force you to format, but if you flash stock firmware nougat the same it was in and reboot it everything was like before.
Basically backup everything using non root apps and adb then format then restore.
Today I accidentally did oem unlock to OFF then rebooted and then it said custom binary blocked by frp. I then flashed many nougat versions but they all caused force close of 2 things ims service and srbg? I ended up flashing nougat from January 2017 dqlc. I got everything back and working. Next I did twrp and supersu etc but data encryption failed. Then I flashed stock dqlc and got everything back. Use home csc or otherwise it will erase everything. Now I have to backup everything.

That's not horse**** at all. If your storage is encrypted (most of them are by default) then it will force you to format once you flash TWRP. I took ages of trial and error of flashing stock firmwares and bootloaders etc via Odin to get it all back as I couldn't afford wiping (even if I had backed up).
Anyone reading this thread and wanting to try it should be careful.
I also found no way to backup ALL apps and ALL their data & settings reliably without root (Helium gets only part of the job done) so I could not risk wiping and restoring. I have too many apps configured and fined tuned that I use regularly.
Sorry for necro, but I found out the hard way after being badly advised ...

And finaly do you find a way to restore your data after installing TWRP ?

By now I would hope your important data is 100% redundantly backed up.
Of all the things that can and do go wrong with rooting, data lose shouldn't even enter into the equation unless you really goofed up bad.
Only two types of data users, those who have lost data and those that will...
I consider any data on internal memory 100% expendable. A complete reload/restore takes me about 2 hours and that's without the luxury of rooting.
At any moment I'm (and you should be too) ready to do a factory reset regardless of the cause without critical data lose.
After two forced back to back forced reloads on my 10+ I learned my lesson.

Thanks Blackhawk for your explication
I am on the second part of user which have lost his data but only the configuration not the contact, photo, etc...
But without root they are plenty of data (configuration, autorisation, widget) which take very long time to "reinstall" and those data are not saved if you are not root. And sometime with root also. They are not important but the time to restore them is very long and use a phone without his custumization is very anoying.
That's why I'm loocking for a way to save it without root or root without loosing those data.

A clean wipe of all settings data means no misconfigurations or malware will survive.
Nuke em.
I'll see how well SmartSwitch does saving the home page next reload. If it screws up it will cost another reload... of course.
Only shortcuts/folders, Good Lock, One Handed Operation plus etc kill me with setup time but it's no big deal. I've gotten pretty adapt at it
Poweramp is completely, redundantly, backed up as that would take weeks to sort of recreate, a true nightmare... as it is now, it only takes a few minutes to do.
My music database has existed for over 15 years. I've lost count of the number of backup copies I have for it... plus the source CD/HDCDs.
Currently have 3 up to date copies to be expanded soon to 4.
Overkill for data backup is a good thing.

Please Point Me to The Right Direction

Hello the Wonderful and Fantastic Members of the XDA Community,
I'm in the process of researching on how to unlock bootloader, install magix and ultimately root the phone, and I hope that someone can point me to the right guides to accomplish these steps. I have been trying to figure it out but would feel much better if someone can point me to the right guide as opposed to me blindly guessing which guide I should follow. This is what I know so far:
1. I believe that in order to use Magix, I need to have a "Custom Recovery" which requires I unlock phone's "bootloader". But before I can do that, I need to have a stock system, which DrakenFX had gracious posted but I'm not too sure how to find. Can someone point me to the right forum to obtain the stock system image from DrakenFX and the guide to unlocking the bootloader for this phone? What are some precautions I should take prior to attempting to unlock the bootloader? And what do I need to do with the stock system if everything goes south with my attempt? I'm currently on A2017UV1.0.0B27 (after the latest update). Will the stock system work with that?
2. I believe that after I unlock the bootloader, I have to install the Custom Recovery, which I think I should use TWRP - is it compatible with magix? After I install TWRP, I need to use TWRP to "flash" magix onto my phone? How can I install TWRP and use it to flash magix? What are some of the precautions I need to take before my attempt to complete step 2?
3. I think after I installed the customer recovery and flash magix, rooting "should" be easier for me, but please point me to the appropriate guide to accomplish that.
Extra Question: I read in one of the forums that after I unlock the bootloader, I will no longer able to receive On The Air updates, how can I continue to receive these updates after bootloader is unlocked and what happens when ZTE roll out Android N for the Axon 7? Will I be able to update to that version?
Here are all the facts about my phone:
Model: ZTE A2017U
Android Version: 6.0.1
Kernel Version: 3.18.20
Build Number: A2017UV1.0.0B27
Thank you all so very much for your patience, understanding, and kind help, I'm forever grateful!

First flash TWRP by following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/wip-axon-7-root-bootloader-unlokced-t3441204
Then unlock your bootloader by following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/how-to/guide-how-to-unlock-bootloader-stay-t3461165
I've never used Magisk before (I just stick with SuperSU), so I'll leave that part to someone else.
As for the extra question:
If you used ZTE's official bootloader unlock method (which required you to submit a form with your IMEI), you'll no longer get OTAs, but if you do it all unofficially (like these guides), you'll still get OTAs. HOWEVER, the OTAs will not install if you make changes to the device besides bootloader unlock. If you have a custom recovery it won't apply. If you have systemless root (which modifies the boot image) it won't apply. If you use Magisk (which modifies the boot image) it won't apply. If you make changes to /system it won't apply. So basically, besides having an unlocked bootloader, you have to be full and complete stock to install OTAs.
However, after an OTA comes out, I suspect that someone will make a TWRP-flashable version.

@xtermmin Thank you so much for your reply, I greatly appreciate it!
Quick question, Is there a way to install TWRP without having to root first? The reason I ask was according to Magix, it must be flashed prior to the system being rooted.

Root Without TWRP / Samsung Account Error / IMEI Recovery

Is there any way to be root without TWRP?* I'm in Oreo and I lost my Imei and cell coverage*. However, I have my backing of the EFS folder. But I can't stick it in the root without being root.
I know I have to wait 8 days for the OEM unlock to activate (I even used the trick to not wait 8 days and it worked for me). And be able to use twrp and install Root per zip file.
But now I haven't been able to do the trick because I can't log in to the samsung account*(Procesing Failed). My fear is that the 8 days will pass and since I cannot log in to my samsung account, the OEM unlock will not be activated even after 8 days.
In short, it would be a great help if anyone knew of these 3 options.
*1.- If you can be root without installing twrp.
*2.- If someone knows how to log in to samsung account, when the error message ("Procesing Failed") appears. I've erased cache of all samsung applications, I've reestablished it from the factory. I have installed full Stock firmware and nothing yet.
*3.- Recover IMEI in another way (I have a TWRP EFS Backup (I already restored it but it didn't work) and I have backup of the EFS folder to replace with the root.
Image that could possibly be useful for point 2.

Need help rooting my phone. Model: SM-C9000 c9ltechn, 8.0 oreo Samsung experience 9.0

First of all, I want to tell you that I'm not very familiar with rooting but have just a bit experience flashing custom roms, so please go easy on me.
I have done some research and found a couple things that I couldn't find answers for:
1) First one is that apparently you need your bootloader unlocked/ OEM unlocking enabled in developer options, however since I upgraded to Oreo in last August, that option disappeared. I've tried two methods for making it appear that I've found online (keeping phone up for 7 days straight and reverting time back) but none worked. I've read somewhere that if you downgrade to Nougat, enable it then re update to Oreo your bootloader will remain unlocked. So, can someone confirm this? Can you downgrade with a locked bootloader? And if so, can someone guide me through it? (Additional question: will the downgrade reset user data?)
2) After unlocking bootloader you need to flash TWRP but I have so many questions on that. First: I couldn't find a TWRP for oreo. Does it work regardless of os version? Second: I found a guide from XDA that is written long ago, and it says "make a full backup of your system, including EFS before flashing". How do you backup without flashing it tho? All guides are about using either a custom recovery or rooted app.
3) Do you really need TWRP? I mean, can't you flash Magisk via Odin/ADB directly, perhaps without unlocking bootloader? What happens if I use install command from ADB?
4) So does tripping knox fuse achieve anything other than killing the nonexistent system updates and samsung guarantee? I want to make sure Samsung health is going to operate.
