Greeting to MIUI-er fans...

Rooting is the process of allowing the user to attain privileged control (known as root access) over various Android subsystems.

This is a hassle-free Rooting process with the help of my batch file specifically for Redmi Note 3 (SD) using SuperSU and TWRP recovery to flash many of your favorite custom ROM and apps.

Environment:


Essentials:

  • USB Port on your PC/Laptop
  • USB DATA cable (the one that came with your device)
  • Enable OEM Unlock - Goto Settings > Additional settings > Developer options > Enable OEM Unlock
  • Enable USB Debugging - Goto Settings > Additional settings > Developer options > USB Debugging - Enable (If you have not activated Developer options, then Goto Settings > About phone > tap MIUI version 7 times > You are now a developer)

Requirements:


Flashing TWRP recovery:
After you done that, open the "TWRP3.0_RN3_SD_feds64" folder and double click on "Flash_TWRP3SD.bat" to start the process, as shown below:-


From here onwards, please follow the instruction as required on the command screen, as shown below:-


After completing the flash of TWRP, you will go into the TWRP Mount menu page, as follows:-
