How do I root my Redmi 3s? - Xiaomi Redmi 3s Questions & Answers

HI, this question has probably been asked many times. But still, I want to root my Redmi 3s (MIUI 10.2.1.0) and all the guides I found are pretty old, they're at least 2 years old and I am not sure if they are still working.
I have already unlocked my bootloader. My touch screen is not working fully so I want to avoid as much trouble as possible. Can anyone guide me or give me link to a sure way of rooting without bootloop problems. I know I ask a lot but I really need it to recover my old files. Thank you.
EDIT : Managed to root it.

Is my P9 Lite really bricked ?

Hi everyone, first message here, and not for the best..
Here's the story.
Yesterday evening, I tried to install Xposed Framework, but I was stuck in a boot loop (even when I tried to uninstall it), so I "dirty" flashed a Nougat build on my device. Phone was back alive, despite a bug from the mobile data.
Today, I had to restart my phone because of this issue, but now, my phone is somehow bricked. Bootloader is relocked (I dont know how the **** it happened), so I can't do anything, as the phone is stuck on a bootloop, and I don't have TWRP anymore. I tried fastboot, but nothing is working on it. Even VNS Toolkit is no use. I tried a force update with the UPDATE.APP, but I'm still in a bootloop.
So, tl;dr, phone bricked, bootloader locked, no recovery, and no code to unlock my bootloader.
Please XDA people, help me !!
You should try to get your unlock code and unlock your bootloader again, you can find the informations of the phone on the original box.
DO NOT TRY TO INSTALL XPOSED ON NOUGAT, there is still no Xposed version for nougat.
It was Xposed for MM, so after my fail, I decided to update to N.
On the box, I have IMEI1 and IMEI2, and the SN. But I don't have the "PIN" verification code (you can only get it via HMI code..) So I think I'll never be able to unlock my BL :/
I had the same issue lost my bootloader unlock code but there is another way to get bootloader unlock code: DC unlocker
Just follow instructions on there site for p9 lite
On the tool set the manufacturer to "huawei phones" not modems. I made that mistake too first
You need to buy 4 credits to unlock = 4 euros so the tool is not free
Good luck
Email huawei to get your unlock code. It's free!
Just send an email to them

Ok bro you want a lolly now? It's a sillicon lotery you were lucky thats all
I dont earn anything with this btw just helping for alternatives bcause some people cant afford waiting for huawei mail if there phone is bricked
Hi everyone, quick update.
I tried to get my BL unlock code from Huawei, but they wanted my Product ID (how nice of them..)
DC-Unlocker is no use for me, as I only could boot into fastboot.
My service provider helped me a lot, and told me to wipe data/factory reset via the Vol+/Power button method. Somehow, it kinda worked, because now the phone is booting, I have the configuration running, selecting language, region, Wifi, but after Wifi+ option, I have the "Checking Info" window, but it crash, and goes back to Wifi+ config.
So now, I'm stuck here...
UPDATE 2:
I managed to get my BL unlock code !!
But now, fastboot is not letting me unlock it (fastboot: command not allowed.) I'm desperate !! Any reasons why ?
UP3:
Phone is FRP Locked, I'm pretty sure I can't go further because of this
Fastboot wont work bcause you havent enabled usb debugging mode and you cant enable bcause you cant boot in the rom
Have you tried the 336 nougat update.app?

If you cant Bind Mi account with 86012 error and stuck at 99% in unlock tool

Hey, guys, i figured a workaround on how to unlock Bootloader if stuck with 86012 error and can't bind account.
Follow the instructions,
1) First apply for unlocking permissions from http://en.miui.com/unlock/ . U will receive a sms after a day or two.
2) Now goto developer mode and enable bootloader unlock and check if u can bind mi account. If not, then do this
3) Download older version of Mi unlock tool here
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B611uyXmi12kRjU4VHpwaWF0UHc/view?usp=sharing
4) Mi Pc Suite and Mi Flash Tool installers if needed to install drivers.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B611uyXmi12kWm9EQWhLZUJ0dVE/view?usp=sharing
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B611uyXmi12kQzctQm5EY2lFOXc/view?usp=sharing
5) Run the application. Sign in. Hold volume down and power button to enter bootloader mode.
6) Hit unlock in Mi Unlock Tool. if it says can't find device then goto windows device manager and under Android phone update the Driver Software via internet and make sure it says Xiaomi Corp.
7) Now try to hit unlock button again and this time it will definitely work.
Hit Thanks if it worked for you bcoz even i was pissed i couldnt unlock bootloader and fedup of waiting.
Didn't work for me. Trying to unlock bootloader with latest mi unlock tool since 10-15 days got permission but stuck at 99% account binding. And now tried with older version still no luck it stops at 50% and says couldn't verify device. Its frustrating now.

Yes I faced the same issue. To solve the couldn't​ verify device issue follow my instructions on updating the driver in Windows device manager. Then I'll work. Make sure Android phone driver is shown as xiaomi Corp

Actually I am already having one redmi 3s and I unlocked its bootloader 6 months ago. After buying new device I created new account and carried the same process of unlocking bootloader ( from permission to unlocking) but it didn't work on that account. I tried with the older account and voilla!! Bootloader unlocked. In newer account after getting permission I tried 10-12 days but no luck.

Yes that is coz your permission has to sync with mi China servers. So it will take a week . But following my method using old mi unlock tool u need not bind account after getting conformation sms
For me old mi says account not matching with device. Used email id as well as phone no

I've done unlock my device with only one account and 8 days.
Day 1 : Got permission just 4hrs after request! Oh sh!t stuck 50%, ok I'll just follow the web tutorials. Login i.mi.com and locate device and wait for a few days. (MIUI Global Stable 8.2.4.0)
Day 5 : It's passing 50% woohooo**** 99% stuck. It said current account is not bound. Browsing the web for solution.
Error 86012 with Chinese stuff in it when binding via developer settings. Frustrated AF.
Day 7 : Fck this **** I'll just flash MIUI Global Beta 7.2.1.6 as the web said. Lost my backup files and the unlock is fail after all. Depressed AF.
Day 8 : Tried step by step carefully, learned from trials and errors. Login i.mi.com, then locate device. Login Mi Unlock Tool, wait a few minutes then started to shutdown device to fastboot, connect the device to computer and it got unlocked successfuly. Then i happily flash TWRP and RR ROM after.
the real solution is WAIT PATIENTLY.

As per Day 7 you flashed the Global Beta Rom. How did you do that without unlocking the Bootloader? Which rom file did you use? The .zip or the .tgz? I have been trying to flash the global beta/trying to downgrade for a week and I have failed every time. Mind helping me out?

G5 Plus Help unroot help!

Ok so I am just going to say I am a idiot and need some help. Please don't hate on me. I am not good with phone technology, but I followed directions to root my phone with TWRP & Magisk 12.0 and everything is working ok for the most part. The problem is I need a specific app to work for my job, but it fails to start due to the failed Safety Net. I would probably be able to figure out how to unroot it & relock the bootloader, but in my haste to root my phone, I did not backup the stock ROM image 1st. If anyone can help me figure out the next step to go back to a factory phone, I would forever be indebted to you. My specific model is an XT-1681 dual sim which I believe is from Brazil. I am in the US and not sure if I can use a different stock rom because I have tried searching to no avail. Please help if you can.
Thanks for your time.
There's a flash file for magisk which allows it to pass safety net. I saw it in the Lineage thread a few days back, but I don't know the exact origin.
Secondly, you can't relock the bootloader anyways. I don't know for sure if that in itself would cause safety net issues.

I appreciate the response, but I was able to finally locate the stock rom from a site linked on here & flashed and relocked the bootloader using ADB. Basically my phone is stock again & working like I need it to. I tried hiding the app in Magisk, but was unsuccessful. So I guess this post can be locked.

BTV-W09 EMUI 4.1 unlock bootloader

I'm not having any luck unlocking the boatloader. I've read the instructions, apparently I need a code from Huawei to do it, but they stopped giving out codes... am I completely screwed? is there some other process?

Usually you should search a bit before asking about help .... because the answer to your request may be already here
If you haven't found anything in the meantime, assuming you've already searched, you can take a look here as well.
I messaged the post owner about their credits. not sure how it'll work because DC unlocker doesn't specify the mediapad m3 on their website, but I'll see what they say.

alright, so I think I'm unlocked now. I'm able to adb reboot bootloader and I get a white screen that says phone unlocked/frp unlocked. when I attempt to flash recovery though it says "FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)"
