WinDroid Toolkit v3.0 - [APPLY][UNLOCK][ROOT][FLASH]

Perfect All-in-one Toolkit for Novice

WinDroid Toolkit v3.0 is a perfect All-in-one toolkit for a novice. As from the WinDroid Changelog it has a new face-lift from the previous version v2.6 and many very useful features that I felt a newbies or a new owner of a Redmi Note 3 or the other Bootloader locked models has to try out. It is very simple Toolkit to utilize without the worries of drivers, custom recoveries images or Switch User access images. It simply all there, and for the advanced user you could sideload and do many more and download the on-demand specific drivers and files for your device.

Highlights:

• Support for Redmi Note 3
• Install specific USB drivers
• Application for Unlocking bootloader
• Facilitate Unlocking bootloader
• Flash TWRP 3.0.0 recovery
• Download SuperSU 2.65

Essentials:

• USB DATA cable (the one that came with your device)
• USB Port on your PC/Laptop
• 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 MIUIversion 7 times > You are now a developer)

Download WinDroid Toolkit v3.0 and Create a folder "WinDroid Toolkit v3.0".

Plug your device in an ON-STATE via USB cable to your PC/Laptop. Then run the WinDroid Toolkit v3.0.exe. It will downlaod the necessry drivers and install accordingly. Next you will have to choose the your device from the scrolling menu. Choose Xiaomi/Redmi Note 3. It will then automatically download the TWRP recovery image and SuperSu zipped file for you to complete the rooting process. Its a 1-2-3 process, as shown below:-

At this stage you could see that the LED is RED, you just need to hit the Refresh button and it will then turn Green or Online accordingly, follow the Step One to Unlock Bootloader, as shown below:-

The first sub-menu is Request Unlocking permission and it will bring you to the Request Unlock page, as shown below:-

UNLOCKING YOUR BOOTLOADER, ROOTED for REDMI NOTE 3

My Christmas surprise for the MIUIers...

Wow, I actually succeeded in UNLOCKING the BOOTLOADER,without even thinking of the risk of Bricking my Redmi Note 3 at all. For this one you can do without all those applying on the unlocking website procedurewith take ages to return you a code. What I did was using MiFlashUnlock on my Stable ROM v7.0.19.0.LHNCNCJ (MIUI7) which it gave me an error message and I proceeded with the Dev v5.12.24 (MIUI7) which was successfully done to unlock the bootloader.

Updated Jan 10, 2016: As of a day or two, the Mi Flash Unblock was able to Unblock when you are using Stable or Developer ROM....
