Xiaomi isn't responding to my request to unlock the boatloader. Is there a way to unlock it without the official approval?
Sorry for that but it doesn't
You have to receive a message ?
I waiting already 10 days...
It is so stupid how they do this. It takes up their time. My phone was already unlocked by the person that I bought the phone from. But when I flashed the latest update, I didn't realize that wipe and lock was checked. Since it is tied to the Mi account, I have to wait for MIUI approval. So stupid!

Hi, As we all know, we need to unlock bootloader to root. But is it possible to install pre-rooted rom via MiFlash on edl mode to Mi5? Because it is possible in redmi note 3 pro, as in this example. Thanks for the share.
Just install the global ROM via update app.
You can enable root in the security center with unlocked bl

Stop telling people this!!! It is NOT true. You STILL have to unlock the bootloader first otherwise on the dev ROM it just has a note saying you need to unlock the bootloader instead of the root options.
Why did people make this stuff up? It wastes people's (like mine when people first claimed this) time.

How to unlock the bootloader on the Honor Play
If you're looking for a way to unlock the bootloader of your Honor Play, you have probably stumbled on a lot of different articles talking about how Honor has discontinued their bootloader unlock program for all of their phones. Even thought the program has been discontinued, there is still a way for XDA Users to get a code for their Honor Play.
Recently, Honor has relaunched the program as a trail for XDA Users. This thread will allow you to fill out a simple form and provide your email address. After a few weeks, Honor will send you an unlock code.
Thread: Honor Re-Opens bootloader Unlocking on a Limited Trial for XDA
Once you've got your bootloader unlock code, follow these steps.
Turn on USB Debugging and OEM Unlock
On your Honor 7X:
Go to Settings > About
Tap on Build Number seven times
Go to Developer Options
Check Enable OEM Unlock
Check USB Debugging
Unlock VIA ADB
If you haven’t installed ADB yet, see this thread for instructions.
Plug your phone into your computer VIA USB
Type the command ‘adb reboot bootloader‘ and hit enter.
Once in bootloader mode, type ‘fastboot oem unlock [unlock code]‘
Follow the on-screen instructions
Waiting for my code it's only been 4 days or so though.

Another way of unlocking bootloader
Actually i have contacted honor care in this regard and the guy told me atleast in india we can unlock our bootloaders or get an unlock code by visiting our near authorized service center with original bill(invoice) and the device.If someone is very eager to unlock and live near a authorized service center ,it was worth a try and make everyone know that it's true or not.
Attention guys... Do any of you tried to read Bootloader unlock code from phone with HCU Client, its paid one but it do the job well...
I mean are you guys having an unlockable phone ?? i heard that huawei pushed firmwares with no xloader partition, if thats the case, Unlock code wont help you... until you get a unlockable firmware in your phone....
Am confirming as i wanna buy this device but without BL unlocked, its useless for me..... Someone check it kindly...
Regards...
Why you bother to unlock the bootloader? At the moment, there is no single custom recovery and no custom ROM available for Honor Play.

Well it's the 25th did anybody receive email with unlock code ? I doubt lol

No1 reason to unlock bootloader is to be able to Root
Take it nobody got a email with code then

Nah have i hell. Bit disappointing really.
Still happy with the Play on the whole i just like to tinker.
Don't think there was ever any intention to give them , asking support other questions there quick to reply when asked about bootloader code never heard back from them , I'm not surprised tbh , I'm afraid development for future honor phones will be near non existent , nice devices but without any development I will no longer purchase honor products we should all boy cot honor till they provide unlock , I like there devices but glad I sold it , let's hope they wake up and realise when there sales are down it was a mistake [emoji23]
Good luck with this device [emoji1696][emoji106]
Screw you Honor [emoji867][emoji867][emoji867]

My ROM version is 9.6.6.0 OEAH3GFA and as such I don't seem to be able to get the miui 10 update yet. Has anyone else moved to standard global ROM?
Thanks

I just bought Mi 8 from 3 network as well with the same version, seems there is no way to update to MIUI 10 without unlocking bootloader! 3 network's technical people are clueless, i have applied to unlock bootloader but i have to wait 360 hours. not really happy, i will retuning the phone back to 3 soon, i dont think i will buy Xiaomi phone again.
It's not xiaomis fault that you bought a provider branded device that cannot receive xiaomi otas. Your provider (3) has to adapt every update and push it to your device.
Never buy branded devices. You ****ed yourself mate :/

The guys at Xiaomi told me that the UK updates were to be released soon. Not sure about the truth in that. I'm gonna wait out the bootloader unlock time then flash the global stable over the top and relock the bootloader.
I figure it should be able to be relocked as it is a global stable already just a branded one. Fingers crossed anyway.

Except that's not true. The ROM isn't Three ''branded'' in any way. The phone has no Three branding either. Three haven't done any branding of any kind to ROMs or devices for many years now. The fact the item is sold without stating the ROM is a Three version also means he can't have known this would happen, as you seem to be implying.
Did mine two days ago. Used the MiFlash unlock tool after the 360 hour wait time and then used the MiFlash tool to flash 10.2.2.0 and relock the bootloader. No issues so far
So I recently received MIUI 12.0.1.0. if I update, will there be any issues in future if I wanted to unlock bootloader?
No, you won't have any problem. You can unlock the bootloader anytime you want, no matter which Miui version you are using. You will have to wait seven days , that's all (like everybody else).

Do you have to manually flash all updates ?
How do I know if my bootloader is locked?
How do I safely update /flash phone ?
If I flash phone will that void warranty?
Will my bank apps and Google pay work as I need Google pay ?
What is the best version to flash people and do some roms have better features to use than the 1 I'm already on ?
Sorry for being dumb I'm just scared to do things wrong
Thanks for taking time to read this and if you have spare time to reply and guide me I'd be ever so grateful. Can't imagine ever going back to Samsung I just love this phone

Vodafone unfortunately doesn't let you OTA apply to any other firmware. You got to unlock bootloader.

Starting from halfway down!
If your phone is new, the bootloader is locked.
How to safely flash? Read the threads on unlocking the bootloader. There is very little risk provided you have learned how to do it (and not much risk even if you don't).
Warranty. I don't know. But you can always reflash stock firmware and relock the bootloader.
Most people who unlock flash Xiaomi.eu ROM. It is what I use. It's based on the Chinese firmware but heavily modified.
Banking apps and google pay work just fine
