Xiaomi Redmi 3S/Prime :Unlock Bootloader, Root & Install TWRP Recovery

This quick guide will help you root, unlock bootloader and install TWRP recovery on your Xiaomi Redmi 3S or Redmi 3S prime. Released in August 2016, Redmi 3S became an instant hit because of its affordability and excellent price-to-specs ratio. Redmi 3S sports a 5″ HD screen with 2 gigs of RAM and 16 gigs internal storage. The prime variant possesses additional 1 GB of RAM and 32 gigs storage space along with a cool fingerprint scanner.
As it’s a new device, I could barely find good tutorials to root and unlock bootloader or Redmi 3S and Prime. So I made this guide exclusively for those who want to root and customize their Redmi 3S/Prime along with unlocking bootloader and flashing a custom recovery.

Requirements to Root & Install Redmi 3S Prime
  • You need to unlock your Redmi 3S first before attempting root. Go to official Mi page and unlock your phone there. [Link]
  • Unlocking bootloader may wipe all data including stored files and contacts. You had better backup them.

Install TWRP Recovery on Redmi 3S/Prime/Pro

  1. After downloading the tool I mentioned above, extract it on your PC.
  2. Run twrp-installer.bat.
  3. Now boot your phone into fastboot mode. For this, switch off your phone and hold volume down and power button.
  4. Once your device is booted to fastboot mode, connect to PC.[Make sure the installer cmd window is still open]

How To Recover Lost Data from Your Hard Drive

Step 1: Connect the Hard Drive to Another Computer USB to IDE-SATA hard drive connector Before you can do any work on the crashed drive you will need to remove it from the current machine (unless it is an external drive that has crashed) and connect it to another machine as a secondary drive.  The best way to do this is to buy and use a  USB to IDE/SATA adapter . This is the cheapest multi-functional USB 3 option and I prefer USB 3 because it is a lot faster.

Apple iPhone X stock expected to be low until 2018, says KGI analyst

Ming-Chi Kuo cites “supply constraints” as the reason why Apple can’t make enough iPhone X smartphones. “Due to supply constraints, we expect market demand won’t be fully met before 1H18, said Kuo. It’s unlikely Apple will match the demand for the iPhone X until 2018. All of which means that consumers have to wait a big longer to get their hands on the iPhone X due to supply issues. Kuo previously said that Apple could produce only 10,000 units of the iPhone X per day, but the number might go up as Apple ramps up the production. The analyst does say that he believes the iPhone X shipments to be around 40 million units for
