Presenting Xiaomi Millet Phone Mi3 WCDMA (MI3W) India/Global Stock ROM, Developer ROM, Recovery, Root with Instructions.. - UPDATED

Dear Readers, I'm presenting you some basic and advanced tools for customizing and reviving your Xiaomi Millet Smartphone (Mi3) that's recently been launched in India through Flipkart. Always Remember that Unofficial ROOTING VOIDS your Warranty whereas Official ROOT Doesn't..

NOTE: Please keep in mind that Xiaomi Mi3 and Mi3W are two different models. MI3 packed with nVidia Tegra 4 Chipset is code named as "pisces" is basically and especially for China region and it uses the TD network, this means it won't be able to access global networks, whereas MI3 (WCDMA/CDMA) also known as MI3W is the Global/International version of original Xiaomi Mi3 and is packed with Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 Chipset and is code named as "cancro". So don't get confused or mix these two terms and never flash ROMs interchangeably as this will brick your device..

You can always re-claim your warranty back either by flashing Stock ROM or Developer ROM. As compared to Samsung, that introduced KNOX which won't let you re-claim your warranty even after re-flashing Stock ROM no matter how many times, Which is why i chose Xiaomi Mi3 instead of Galaxy S5...
