In order to root the phone, bootloader needs to be unlocked. In order to unlock the bootloader, needs get approval from MI first and it takes 3-10 days.
Is there any faster way to do the unlock and rooting?
P/S: or anyone is willing to help, I am willing to pay for some $.
You could unlock unofficially but you have a chance of bricking it. Rotting with a unofficially unlocked bootloader is not recommended. In short, to be on safe side, always proceed the official unlock method.

Afraid that I do not have sufficient time to wait the approval.
Even change to CM13 also recommended using official way? I just need to have rooted android.
http://en.miui.com/unlock/ Try to check here by clicking unlock now. Sometimes they might not send approval sms at all. You better off use the official method if you can't bear the risk of bricking phone. So far I'd never heard of flashing CM13 with unofficial unlock bootloader but if you willing to be the white rat, you could do so.

How to check if the approval is granted?
Is it other brand of phone like Oppo is more easy to root?
White rat - consequence: the phone gone or just need to reinstall?
If you can download the tool after login, you have the approval.
For the second question, I'm not sure about that
Worse case scenario, you have to use test point method to revive your phone.

Second day of using this, so far not much of a problem. A little on the warm side when charging but other than that, it's snappier than my ze551ml.
Remember that if it's less than 55 degree, nothing to worry about.

Is there way to hide the supersu?
Why did you want to hide supersu? SuperSU control which app have root access and which app doesn't.

If such happens, how to resolve?
If update via updater, any effect?
Sinxe my phone has rooted and I am no longer need unlocked bootloader, shall I lock back the bootloader?
Test point method to unbrick it
Updating via updater is not recommended.
Unless you want to unlock officially, you don't really need to lock it back.

I found under settings>installed apps>Updater got force stop.
Can use this force stop to disable updater?
It will restart again, so you are wasting your effort to do so.

OMG.
Is there anyway to prevent the updater to be checked even on manual checking?
Like in windows, you can set in host to prevent the software to check through certain port says 127.0.0.0 update.xxxx.com
I believe since you have root access, you could block updater from connecting to the server but I forgot the steps.

bought a unit through @aromachong for my mom to replace her aging redmi note 2.
Question now is, can i get a 3pin xiaomi fast charging plug anywhere?
*Does it exist? haha
Anyway to confirm it authenticity?
It does not support fast charging officially. You could use custom kernel to achieve quick charge 2.0 but it might damage your phone in long term.

Anyone knows why my Redmi Note 3 is on 3G only even the SIM is 4G and under SIM network preference, there is no 4G option to be chosen.
Got related to google account setting during start up?
Because initial setup when entering phone is Gmail ABC. Then I removed the ABC and add XYZ..
ABC was removed and account get deleted.
Locale: Indonesia
Preferred network: Only 3G preferred & 2G listed. No LTE
I searched net and it is because of Indonesia locate and its regulation issue?
Due to Indonesian regulatory, if you have locale set to Indonesia, 4G will be disabled.

Guys, whats the difference between Xiaomi Note 3 Pro Global Rom sold by directd and Xiaomi Rednote 3 Pro Malaysia Set sold by thorus or xiaomi malaysia?
Packaging and warranty only. In terms of hardware, they are identical.

How about software? Identical? So if i buy from directd, i can only claim warranty from directd only?
Identical software also. DirectD offers Xiaomi Malaysia set and Import set which warranty handled by themselves.
