my friend said that the OTA updates require locked bootloader, then I would like to lock it again ...
and how this under warranty, also wanted to make everything from factory
Your friend is wrong. You don't need locked bootloader to get OTA.
To get OTA update, you need stock rom and stock recovery, locked or unlocked doesn't matter.
You can also flash the factory stock image without wiping your data (see link in my signature).
If you have root you can use this app to lock and unlock your bootloader: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.segv11.bootunlocker

I guess something is up with your phone physical memory, but it doesn't matter, it really should not affect your warrenty (but the custom rom and recoveries will). Makes zero different to OTA updates either.

Honestly, I don't think they care if you have root either, but that's base on other user feedbacks. It seems LG warrenty is picky about other things and not very good from the feedbacks from what I read actually, but I haven't had first hand experience. But people have sent in rooted devices for repair.
I think just have factory image and stock recovery and stock kernel.
Solution !

Don't buy this crappy xioami.
Nowadays xioami LOCKed BOOTLOADERs
Start from RN3 RNP Mi4c
The rest will be lock too.......VIA STOCK ROM
Hugo Barra is smart
We are stupid includes me. Bcos I bought new RN3
then only learned that bootloader is LOCKed
Too much hustle to unlock.
For so many many days past by waiting for unlock code
So what, just apply for unlock and wait. For this price of hardware it's worth it. I hope there will be some reasonable custom AOSP rom.

See the thing is by their terms just because you request one doesn't mean you will get it. It is up to them.
As for aosp I wouldn't count on it, most developers won't touch their devices nor do they support them.

Why shouldn't we cont on developers to work on this ROM? I see that the Redmi 2 has plenty of custom ROMs available right here on XDA forum.

They locked the bootloader for a reason. There has already been reports of Xiaomi refusing to provide an unlock code to users.
Most roms for Xiaomi devices are ports at best with the one exception being the one CM supports. Development teams know this, and on top of their constant gpl violations leave a bad taste.
Don't get me wrong. I hope things work out but in ref to aosp based development there won't really be much
Can anyone tell me what is bootloader for?, why is it important to unlock it?

Is it really need to unlock bootloader in other to flash developer ROM?
I know a lot of mi4 owners who regularly use weekly developer without haven't ever unlocked their bootloader.
So is it really necessary for our redmi3 to unlock the bootloader in other to flash developer ROM?
Cause I really like to remain virgin while being able to ***** around ?

No. You got it wrong. You need to flash the developer ROM in order to unlock bootloader ( to be able to flash other ROMs.)

so let me get this straight, i don't need to unlock bootloader in order for me to use Global ROM or Developer ROM, but if i want to use other ROM (Custom), i need to unlock it. How about if i want to root?

Nope, rooting the device has nothing to do with the locked bootloader. But I am not entirely sure if there is a way to root the redmi 3 just yet.
Unlocked bootloader is needed for:
- Custom roms that don't use the stock kernel
- Custom kernels
- Non stock-based roms (CM for example)
unlock confirmation received
I've recieved the unlock confirmation today.
What must I do to unlock the bootloader?
The sms says:" Your unlock request has been approved. Go t XXXXXX to download the unlocking tool"
Thanks in advance

Download Mi Unlock, BUT....

Here you can read that :
2. The unlocking procedure only supports MIUI China developer version (6.1.12 or later version) currently. MIUI China stable version will get supported in future updates

So we need to wait for the dev. rom for redmi 3.
According to this thread should be out anytime soon :
http://en.miui.com/thread-228054-1-1.html
BUT....
Update*
[Developer rom has been out for awhile and the latest version is now 6.2.24. However, it is currently not due for public release. Fret not as even with the latest developer rom, boot loader cannot be unlock yet as Redmi 3 has yet to be integrated into MIUI Unlock System.

No unlock yet =(
I am a bit confused about this locking. On most phones i had i initially booted them into fastboot then flashed TWRP then via TWRP flashed custom roms (zips). So which part did they lock ? Fastboot so you cannot flash TWRP or the bootloader itself(TWRP,CWM,etc) (theoretically you could flash it but not access) ? Thanks for clarifying for me.

You can't flash anything at will with it locked. Even in Fastboot it won't work unless signed by Xiaomi. And they are not giving everyone unlock codes. Mainly if you mention you want to remove miui. Also if you are not active in their forums they won't do it.

Nonsense. You can flash (unofficial) full roms using fastboot in download mode, no problem at all...
Only flashing in fastboot mode (recoverys, xposed, custom kernels) wouldn't work with locked bl.
I also don't like the idea of locked bootloaders but, well... you do it once, use unlocked roms and are happy with it. not big of a deal, so stop whining...
Had it on my Razr i, now on the Redmi 3. Got my approval for it after not even 2 weeks at the beginning of february, now waiting for the suitable dev rom to unlock.
Just let it all settle a bit, the device by now is just too fresh out...

The reason was to prevent resellers from preinstalling tampered roms.
About a year ago, I tried installing a custom ROM for my ASUS ZenFone 5 (A500CG). I went through all the shenanigans of doing so (rooting, flashing, unlocking the bootloader). After succeeding in installing the ROM, I discovered the so-called "FREEZING BUG" of the Z5 wherein if you tried to unlock the bootloader, the phone would freeze/hang then reboot invariably. I didn't really like the ROM anyway, so I went back to my stock KitKat, also thinking that it would fix the "freezing". After the return, my Z5 still experiences the bug (FREEZING). With a bit of research, I found out that unlocking the Z5's bootloader is the culprit. I went to re-lock it, and as if nothing happened, it was fixed! No more freezing!
And today, I heard of CyanogenMod 13.1. I knew the Z5 would not be blessed with the new Android 6.0 update along with its 1st-Generation siblings. So I thought, "Meh. I'll give the custom ROM a shot." And I indeed liked CM 13.1. I wanted to keep it, but because I had to unlock my bootloader to get it to work, I'm back with the old, dreaded freezing bug.
Sorry for the long story, but my question is this:
Is it possible to keep the CyanogenMod with a locked bootloader? If so, how?
And if not, is there any way at all to fix the "FREEZING" problem of the Z5 whenever you try to unlock its bootloader?
Any help is appreciated!

It is a false information.
Custom kernel for CM13 (or any Marshmallow custom rom) does not has a signature. (kernel by Asus has it)
So locked bootloader stop booting due to it.
Ok. I guess a custom ROM really just can't work with a locked bootloader. However, is there really even a way to fix the ZenFone 5's "freezing" problem even with the bootloader unlocked?:crying:

Unfortunately, for now, you can't, either you get the freeze bug or the camera bug when you unlock the bootloader on some ZF5s.

Damn ASUS wouldn't give the Z5 the 6.0 update. Perhaps they want you to get a new phone? I really needed the new 6.0 stuff.
Anyway, thanks for the heads-up!

Actually if i get a new phone it won't be another Asus. They need to know
There's no fully solution for unlocking bootloader and they are not giving the private sources for signing kernels, or unlocking bootloader properly, or about GPS/FM bug.
If you want to get these features work proper only Asus can provide this things.

I think that my phone is already unlocked. To be honest I'm not 100% sure. I am running a deodexed rooted version of lollipop right now, but I did all this stuff almost 2 years ago and haven't messed with any of it since. I do have an icon of unlocked padlock when booting up my phone. I think that means the bootloader is unlocked, but I'm not sure if that is what it means or not. Someone on reddit shared a link to an article by jdrch (Sorry can't link to it, still new here) about unlocking the bootloader and installing CyanogenMod 13 for G900V. The first thing he has you do is check your eMMC, but the article says this:
"As of this writing, it does not work for S5s with 11 Toshiba eMMCs. Due to the possibility of the bootloader unlock exploit being patched in the Marshmallow update, I’d highly suggest doing this BEFORE updating to any stock Marshmallow OTA."But if I intend to go straight to CM13 (if that is possible) does it even matter that I don't have correct eMMC?
EDIT: Nevermind. I see now that my bootloader is not unlocked and after doing some more searching through the forums. I have found that it is not possible for the Toshiba eMMC chip. :crying: I need a new phone.

You are NOT unlocked and do not pretend you are.
You cannot flash CM13. The unlock icon when you boot is simply a result of having a custom binary installed.

@GeTex and the others are working on an unlock but its not looking good for now.
Greetings, I just purchased this terminal and I'm really satisfied with the software and soon,my questions are as follows:
1: Is it worth unlocking the bootloader to install roms?
2: My terminal is xt1687 It was already unlocked, but I lose the warranty directly with Motorola?
3: When unlocking the Bootloader, the battery does not lose performance? Currently I last 6 hours with heavy use
If you can really help me I would be very grateful, thank you for reading :')
Sorry for my bad English
1: it depends. If you are happy of the G5+ as is, and you never installed a custom ROM, the answer is no.
2: when you say that the device is already unlocked, you mean "operator unlocked"? It's different than "bootloader unlocked". And yes, you will lose warranty if the bootloader is unlocked.
3: the bootloader unlock won't affect the battery duration. Installing a non-optimized custom ROM or some apps could consume more battery than usual.

Are you in any rom? If so, how does everything work? Is it better than being in stock? How was the camera? Thank you for answering me
No, I'm still on stock ROM. I planned to unlock bootloader in the next week, but I have also a Redmi Note 4 that I bought for my mother (she still uses my old Moto G 2013 but it has little screen and her eyes are not good).
I'm thinking of taking the Redmi for me and giving the G5+ to her, as she don't need root or custom ROMs (so I will keep the warranty also).
Maybe other users can answer your question (or you could search in the forum for answers).

To be on the safe side, search for the ROMs tagged with [OFFICIAL].
But more than the ROM, you should be careful of the apps installed and their permissions: https://blog.lookout.com/sonicspy-spyware-threat-technical-research

some bank apps do not support custom roms therefore the apps can not be installed on them
