REQUIREMENTS

BEFORE WE BEGIN
- Understand that this rooting method is allegedly only a temporary or tethered root method. According to the reports, it will not still be rooted once you turn off the device and turn it back on again. That’s not a huge deal if you are anything like me and haven’t turned your phone off for roughly the last month. But anyone who does turn on and off frequently might prefer to give this one a miss and wait for something a little more reassuring.
- You might need to unlock the Developer Options menu if it’s hidden on your Redmi Note 3 Pro device by tapping on the Menu > Settings > About Device > Build Number at least 7 times. It will tell you when to stop by saying you are using the device as a developer.
