My Redmi 3s came from some unscrupulous vendor on Aliexpress with the MIUI 7 rom 7.8.21.8(MALCNDE). This rom has adware, and crap that prohibits you from updating the rom. It might have spyware for all I know.
I downloaded the appropriate fastboot rom for my phone from here..

It happened to be:
land_global_images_V8.1.1.0.MALMIDI_20161108.0000.00_6.0_global_cd3d94ba1e.tgz
sudo pacman -S android-tools
tar -zxvf the_rom_you_downloaded.tgz
Connect phone to computer. Hold the power button and volume-down button until the phone reboots. It should boot into fastboot.
sudo sh flash_all.sh
Ta-da!
