Is there really a need to be so rude when someone was trying to help? Seriously, lighten up some.
I see you have edited your original post and deleted your rude/insulting comment. Thank you. Sometimes someone will reply and it may not be the answer you want, but you will get more help by being polite.
@xghost11: Any ROM not including Google apps will work. This however assumes the bootloader was unlocked and a custom recovery installed. Otherwise, the only ways to bypass Factory Reset Protection involve knowing the account and its password on the device, or having the previous owner remove the device from their account.

If want to keep bootloader lock..I would go to the alternate root that is posted.. it can root frf91 and amon-ra recovery and any rom ... bootloader staying lock keeps warranty intact

If I dont unlock the bootloader what can I not do?
you can root, and flash custom recovery and custom ROM.. jus as the same as unlockin the bootloader, only thing i know you can do with a locked bootloader is fastboot stuff but everything else would be the same... jus warranty stays on phone wiht lock bootloader
this is the alternate way i was talking about

3) Do I need to be on stock ROM to unlock my boorloader?
4) What is the best kernel and ROM combination for you? - PLEASE ANSWER THE POLL ABOVE.
5) Can I Sim Unlock my phone later after unlocking the bootloader?
6) How do I return back to stock kernel?
7) If I go back to stock ROM will my bootloader be locked again?
8) If my phone gets accidentally bricked during bootloader unlock process, can I unbrick it?
Please answer all my questions. And please explain everything as I am a total noob. Thanks.

YEAH...what the proper prepaired????
this my answer..
1) look on my signature (easiest guide unlocking bootloader)
2) flash custom kernel and flash rom (no need back to 2.1 or stock)
3) Yes Unlocking with stock rom
4) It depend on U (for me i wanna the rom with the nice and beauty colour one)
I use "TIM3 v1" + "nAa v8b" ( I mean where u wanna go with fast speed?)
5) YES
6) Use flash tool and download stock kernel (search it on XDA)
7) NO -u can unlock by easiest guide (on my signature there)
8) U can't DIY...(if your phone still under warranty send to them)
for me i got 4 times hardbricked and they repair for me without fee
BUT PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR DEVICE IS 11W28 BELOW
(see on phone..PULL OUT YOUR BATTERY AND YOU CAN FIND THERE
hope this help
1.The easiest way to unlock bootloader is with s1 tool. Just connect your phone with usb debugging on and open s1tool and unlock bootloader.( It might brick your phone, I dont recommend you to unlock bootloader)
2.Unlocking bootloader does not change your rom, If you are on 2.1 then it will not affect it. Switching between roms is very easy, just use recovery.For kernel use flashtool
3.You dont need to be on stock rom to unlock bootloader, it can be done through custom roms also
4.From my opinion alfs v6+gingierdx is great. It is very fast for daily use but not very good for hd games.
5.Dont know
6.You can always return back to stock kernel using flashtool and stock kernel ftf
7.Your bootloader will not be lock if you go back to stock rom
8.You cant unbrick your phone if it is bricked during unlocking bootloader, you have to send it to sony ericsson for repair
Thanks very much guys, but I am scared if I brick my device as I can't unbrick it then
I told u...check the MFC date (pull out your battery)
see the **W** (date of manufactoring)
If '11W28' = 2011 week 28
bellow 11W28 is safe..
Above 11W29 is risky..
but nobody force u to unlocking it..
but (also) some nice and beauty rom need custom rom
it totally can't run on stock rom...that why i got my 4th bricked yesterday..
and got a new X8 today with 11W23....
release my tension because can't unlocking bootloader

NO.. not for a hardbrick....
check out some newest threads here which hard brick because of bootloader unlock.. almost all of them not solved and go to SE center..
Ya unlocking bootloader is a bit risky!
Be Careful if your planning to unlock it.
Thanks guys for your help, I really apreciate it. For me the date is not a problem. However is there a possibility of getting bricked during unlocking the bootloader? Well atleaset has anyone bricked their device by unlocking the bootloader and fix it without sending the phone?

U mean if we go back to stock 2.1 with unlocked bootloader, we get bricked?
1) What is the best and easiest way of unlocking the bootloader? From 2nd reply.
2) After unlocking my bootloader, how do I switch ROMs, Is it like normal or do I need to go back to 2.1 first AND GO BACK TO STOCK KERNEL?
You don't need to go back to stock. The unlock won't do a thing with the rom.
3) Do I need to be on stock ROM to unlock my boorloader?
I could only unlock my bootloader from stock 2.1 (tried under GingerDX), but from stock it was easy.
4) What is the best kernel and ROM combination for you? - PLEASE ANSWER THE POLL ABOVE.
For me it's FroyoPro 2.3 ans Alfs
5) Can I Sim Unlock my phone later after unlocking the bootloader?
Can't say... mine was simfree out of the box. (If your phone is not simfree be aware! not all can be unlocked and could cause hard brick)
6) How do I return back to stock kernel?
Just flash back stock kernel file.
7) If I go back to stock ROM will my bootloader be locked again?
No, the bootloader cannot be locked again.
8) If my phone gets accidentally bricked during bootloader unlock process, can I unbrick it?[/B]
At home it is really unlikeley. There are special cables that can do the trick, but they need an expertised technician and a lot of money (for the cable)
Hope it helped for you
My phone is a 11W23 white one with cypress and is unlocked. For You what is the best? What You want? Speed, stability, low battery drainage, cool 3D games etc... For me it was little battery use and high speed with a tad of cool UI.. for this FroyoPro 2.3 and Alfs (Alfs is not needed for froyo pro! so no need to unlock only for that)
Ok thanks guys for answering all my questions about unlocking bootloader. All my doubts are clear
Is there any way to unlock bootloader without permission? I have fked up the mi account, I deleted my old account and rebooted the phone at some point, and now I am stuck in the "device is locked state". Is there any way I can flash rom on it?
Thanks in advance!
UPDATE:
Never mind, I took it to a mobile phone fixing shop, they fixed it using the test point method ( I am too scared to open the phone myself :v ), and charged me 5 USD.
F ur lock mi -_-

In this state only the test point method will work. To re-flash original MIUI ROM please follow these instructions http://en.miui.com/thread-693884-1-1.html
:good:
I'm doing some research before I commit to unlocking my bootloader, and I can't find anything definitive on whether or not it's possible to re-lock after unlocking with the official tool. I have experience unlocking and re-locking bootloaders, flashing custom recoveries/ROMs/kernels etc but only with Nexus and Samsung phones, so I just want to make sure I'm clear on how Nokia's setup differs (If at all). Would also be interested to find out if Nokia will still offer me OTA's with unlocked bootloader.
Thanks for any help, and feel free to move or close the thread if it matches another one that I've missed.

Nokia says that relooking isn't possible. Is there anybody who tried the command 'fastboot oem relock'?
And why says this text please lock ? the bootloader, if it is not possible?

Since I also unlocked critical, I ran: fastboot oem lock_critical and then fastboot oem lock

Has anyone tried the re-lock with a custom kernel/ROM?

No, and nobody should do it. It will brick your device.
The point of a locked bootloader is to prevent unofficial software from running, and the point of unlocking it is to make that possible. So relocking the bootloader with unofficial software installed will make the phone think that the software got corrupted and rightfully lock down the device.

Basically anyone should be able to do it and it shouldn't brick your device, as per Google's bootloader recommendations. However, manufacturers decide to cripple bootloaders not to support it in the verified boot chain (where kernel verification can be explicitly made against a custom root of trust set after the device has left the factory i.e. set by the user, instead of the original root of trust). As far as I know, only Pixel devices implement this, and can be achieved by issuing the command:
Code:
fastboot flash avb_custom_key <key_blob>
I'm sure there are lots of advanced users/modders that can find this feature beneficial (if implemented by the device vendors).

I can assume that, in service centers, they are able to reflash the entire firmware including the (secondary) bootloader. They would probably boot the device into EDL mode, and flash it with stock firmware, with a properly signed Qualcomm EDL programmer, and use Qualcomm's QFIL tool to do this.

Hello, I wanted to ask if there are any options to unlock the bootloader on redmi 4x in an unofficial way?
if you can give a link
Forgive me if something is not clear to you, I am just Russian myself and it is not easy for me to write in English
Yes, there is way but i could not find that link it was on MIUI forum, probably it is removed.
However you may try searching some method on YouTube, there is some possibility that there is might be some video still available.
Have you tried unlocking official way?
Hi there, I'm here asking the same question. Is there any way to unlock xiaomi 4x without permission in xiaomi account?
Sorry for bumping this old thread, but the problem is still relevant even today.
Does anyone know something about this unofficial unlocking method? I couldn't find it anywhere and the official methods didn't work for me, since I can't get past SIM activation for the account.

I think you have mistaken unlocking the bootloader for unlocking the phone for access. What you want is more easily achievable, you can simply flash the stock rom using edl mode. There are plenty of tutorials for that if you search for these terms.

In that case, you need to do it in 2 steps. First, flash the stock rom using edl mode, so you can access the system without needing the original owner's email. Then you register a new account for you and do the official bootloader unlocking procedures. I hope it works for you, because I'm still stuck without being able to register my sim card for the official unlocking method.
