Generally, Android devices have a key piece of software (bootloader) locked, so that the Android system cannot be modified or replaced by another. You need to unlock that bootloader first to make major changes, but someone has managed to replace the original software of your Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro, without the need to do that prior unlocking.

ROM Android 7.1.1

Specifically, the Lineage OS 14.1 system (based on Android 7.1.1) at Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro. In this brand of devices, it is usually necessary to go to the manufacturer to be able to unlock the bootloader. Xiaomi usually responds within two weeks (if the unlock request is submitted successfully).

Reemplazar stock recovery por TWRP recovery

It’s all about installing the ROM MIUI 8 Global Developer corresponding to the device, using the software Mi Flash. But first you have to make a slight change in the files of that ROM. The trick of this whole process is to replace the original recovery.img file with the TWRP recovery.img file (custom recovery) corresponding to the device.

Once the installation process (flashing) is finished, the computer restarts in the recovery mode (TWRP). From this mode you can install the new ROM from the Install option.

Root

Instead of installing a new Android system (ROM), you can just opt for root the device, keeping the original Xiaomi software. In this case, instead of installing the .ZIP file of the ROM you should use the .ZIP of SuperSU.

Having the TWRP recovery installed on the device will not only allow you to root or change ROMs, but also do a full backup of the original system (nandroid backup). This is an advantage that the original device recovery does not offer.
