Crucial Warning: Never confuse Redmi 3S / 3X (codename land / Snapdragon 430) with the earlier Redmi 3 / 3 Pro (codename ido / Snapdragon 616). Firmware identifiers carrying MAL (Android 6.0) belong strictly to land; flashing ido builds will hard-brick your phone. Always keep "clean all" selected in Mi Flash Tool and avoid relocking a bootloader on cross-regional ROMs.

Fastboot, EDL 9008 & Custom Recovery Overview for land
- Verify device model (2016030 / 2016031 / 2016037) matches codename land, not Redmi 3 (ido)
- Extract land_global_images_V10.2.2.0.MALMIXM_20190423.0000.00_6.0_global_68faa236bb.tgz twice to C:\land_fw\
- Boot into Fastboot (Volume Down + Power) on unlocked phones, or Qualcomm EDL 9008 on locked units
- Select C:\land_fw\ inside Mi Flash Tool and confirm "clean all" (flash_all.bat) is active
- Run Flash cleanly, or visit FlashGuideHub for full Qualcomm 9008 driver and TWRP setup steps
Snapdragon 430 Hardware & Checksum Checks Before Flashing
- Confirm your board is 'land' (Snapdragon 430, model 2016030, 2016031, or 2016037) rather than 'ido' (Redmi 3 Snapdragon 616).
- Verify MD5 checksums after downloading large files such as land_global_images_V10.2.2.0.MALMIXM_20190423.0000.00_6.0_global_68faa236bb.tgz (MD5: 68faa236bba86fcd78503e2ce28bc4d5) or twrp-3.6.2_9-0-land.img (MD5: ead124d01aac0b7d4450d63443a21293).
- International 2016031 owners keeping LTE Band 20 support should choose Global Stable V10.2.2.0.MALMIXM rather than overwriting modem firmware unnecessarily with China CN builds.
- Extract Fastboot .tgz archives twice with 7-Zip directly to C:land_fw until flash_all.bat and the images directory (holding prog_emmc_firehose_8937*.mbn) appear cleanly.
- Charge the 4,100 mAh battery above 40% and connect using a snug MicroUSB 2.0 data cable attached straight to a rear computer USB port.
Redmi 3S (land) vs Redmi 3 (ido) & Band 20 Model Notes
Fastboot partition flashing requires unlocking the bootloader through Xiaomi Mi Unlock. Because Snapdragon 430 (MSM8937) predates Xiaomi server-side EDL authentication locks, locked or non-booting units can also be recovered via Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 mode with Mi Flash Tool.

Full step-by-step instructions for Xiaomi Redmi 3S / Redmi 3S Prime / Redmi 3X, including prerequisites, error fixes, and screenshots, are on FlashGuideHub's Mi Flash Tool guide.

Redmi 3S / 3S Prime / 3X Architecture & Build Branch Q&A
The Redmi 3S (2 GB / 16 GB), Redmi 3S Prime / Pro (3 GB / 32 GB + fingerprint sensor), and Redmi 3X (a carrier-styled sibling using the same internal board) all use Qualcomm's Snapdragon 430 (MSM8937) motherboard codenamed "land" (HM3S / HM3SHM3X). By contrast, the earlier Redmi 3 and Redmi 3 Pro run on a Snapdragon 616 (MSM8939v2) board codenamed "ido" stuck on Android 5.1. Because bootloaders and device trees differ completely, never cross-flash between land and ido.
Inside Xiaomi's MIUI 10 naming scheme: "V10.2.2.0" marks the MIUI 10.2 maintenance build; "M" specifies Android 6.0 Marshmallow as the operating system base; "AL" is the two-letter platform ID for Redmi 3S / 3X (land); "MI" identifies the Global release while "CN" denotes China domestic firmware; and "XM" indicates unlocked retail distribution.
Xiaomi.eu maintained weekly and stable multilingual ports based on China Developer/Stable Marshmallow branches under xiaomi.eu_multi_HM3SHM3X_V10.1.1.0.MALCNFI_v10-6.0.zip (based on V10.1.1.0). When Xiaomi shifted Android 6.0 devices into final end-of-life security maintenance with V10.2.2.0 in May 2019, Xiaomi.eu had already retired Android 6.0 builds to focus on newer Android 7/8/9 hardware.
OrangeFox never added official land maintainer support to its centralized release server. Instead, land owners use Official TWRP 3.6.2_9-0 (twrp-3.6.2_9-0-land.img) or Official PitchBlack Recovery Project 3.1.0 (PBRP-land-3.1.0-20210511-1059-OFFICIAL.zip and standalone recovery.img), both built around land's dedicated /recovery eMMC partition.
