- Wrong Chipset: Do NOT flash this on the standard Redmi A3 ("blue"). The A3 uses a MediaTek chipset, while the A3x uses Unisoc. Flashing this will hard-brick the A3.
- Android 16 ('W' Build): If you are on the Global or Russia Android 16 build, DO NOT attempt to flash the India Android 15 ('V' Build) and lock the bootloader. Downgrading the Android version with a locked bootloader will trigger ARB and brick the phone.
- Cross-Flashing: If switching between Android 15 and 16 regions, you MUST keep the bootloader UNLOCKED.
