Is there a way to unlock the Mi 5 pro on Ubuntu? Anyone know if Wine will work with MiFlash Tool?
No solution for now. I ended up using my friend's Windows machine to unlock. Thankfully it's just once and for all.

I used the "WindowsBreak" method (credit to jaxbot) and everything seems to work as expected; reboot the phone and try to deploy a XAP with the official app deployment tool from microsoft and no matter what I do, XAPs will not deploy. Is there another deployment solution out there I need to be using?

i was running Win 7 x64 and had to run the deployer in admin mode otherwise it would come up with that message.
give that a shot and see how you got on.
Just whilst your here, im curious, i will be getting a Focus S soon but ive been reading a lot of info saying that the 8107 update via zune should be avoided because it will stop the ability to dev and interop unlock samsung devices.
But ive not found a single post saying that anyone with a focus S has had issues, if you wouldnt mind, have you seen any issues or heard of anything?
I am running W7 x64 as well. Tried running deployment in admin; no bueno.
Try install this program for sideload xaps on to device. It works with x64 and x86.
Remember windows phone only allow to sideload 10 unsigned apps on device but if you have windowbreaked your device there are currently some ways to expand that to a higher number of apps.

Remember to apply xaps
- Make sure your device is connected with PC and Zune lauched in background
- Make sure your device not in sleep mode
Just a quick question. I've been looking around the internet for this. I just recently recieved a Huawei Acend W1 from Wind Mobile (canada) and the phone is a U-34, and not the usual u00.
The latest I can normally update my phone is 8.0.10211.204, and I was wondering whether there was anyway to update this to it's latest and third update. Is this just a problem for Canada and huawei not supporting the updates? My only problem is that I'm not sure if I'll EVER get the update here, as tbh I don't mind waiting.
Thanks for all and any help,
Edit: I just found this post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51656759&postcount=28 and I'm thinking of trying it. Does anyone know if anyone has tried it?

you can try upgrade via Preview for Developers (preview for developers now upgrade to 8.1)
go to http://apps.windowsstore.com/default.htm and sign in with your Live (Microsoft) account which you use on phone. check mailbox on phone and install cert from mail you received from AppStudio
go to Store and install http://windowsphone.com/s?appId=178ac8a1-6519-4a0b-960c-038393741e96. Run after install and activate it.... go to settings - check for update
The problem with that is that my phone is currently at the First update, so even though I have the developer preview downloaded, I can't open it as I need my phone to be at the latest OS.
All I am trying to do or want to do at this point is get my phone from G1 to G2.
I tried both of the guides above, and one gave me a handshake error, and the other a cookie error. Does anyone have any advice, maybe something I'm missing, that might help?
Thanks,
Using that same guide you used (http://forums.wpcentral.com/huawei-ascend-w1/229445-those-who-get-their-w1-market-locked-china.html), try flashing this rom: http://www.mediafire.com/download/l...030.5614.46900.20900_USA-Channel.05011TTC.zip. Supposedly it's a GDR2 ROM but I'm unable to test it because I don't have a u34 version of the phone. One thing to note is when following the guide, run all the qpst applications in administrator mode. You need to be running Windows Vista or above. Also, running it on a virtual machine will not work.
Thanks for the reply, I'll try this when I get home tonight. I've heard that a 32 bit windows 7 is the best OS to try it on. I have a W8 64 bit, do you know if that really makes a difference?

For me it does not work on windows 8.1 64bit, on the other hand it works perfect on windows 7 32 bit. But Microsoft has pulled out the latest update on the W1. They are working on it but so far I am still waiting for the update on the W1. You can follow the status of the updates on the following link : http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...d-b6a2-fa6df0ba7c58?page=118&tm=1399777042881
There was a chinese forum that used a trick to get update by tricking the w1 by changing it in registry to a nokia device but I can't find the link anymore.
Tbh I'm perfectly fine waiting a couple weeks, but to get to that point I need to get to GSR2, as I'm still stuck with 1 atm. Didn't get a chance to try it last night, but I should be able to find a w7 32 bit pc to test it on.
Thanks for the reply and link to that thread.
I put a password on windows 8.1 and I can not remember, I can somehow reformat windows 8.1? Android if I can get in, but I need windows password, I tried putting a bootable iso but does not start

which version of mi unlock you used and which drivers?
Unlocking bootloader safely
When I got permission I tried to unlock IT same day and IT just failed but at 10 days later IT was Unlocked just clicking the unlock button On mi bootloader unlocker, as I have'nt mentioned I was using windows 7 ultimate, Latest bootloader unlocker tool, and Minimal adb drivers and I have'nt got any issues regarding device detection and the time IT took to unlock was just 10 seconds. I have heard that windows 10 have some issues using the adb drivers. Hope I have helped u in some way
How do i apply for the unlock permission. I'm not able to find a link.
And when trying to unlock, the tool says device not supported by mi unlock.
I'm using the latest version of Mi Unlock.

Have you applied before? It usually tells you to wait for approval. I don't remember it allowing me to download the unlock tool without approval but I could be wrong.

No you don't need to create new a/c but you have to wait for 1 month between every unlock

I have successfully unlocked 1 RN3, 2 RN4 and 1 redmi 4 using the same account but at different times...u need permission only once.
Just take any account which has unlock permission, use it to login from your phone and unlock tool. Remember to sync the phone in Mi Account. If it doesnt sync properly it wont unlock. After syncing try to unlock, if it doesnt, wait a day or two...it should unlock.

Hmm... I dont know if this will work or not, but give it a try.
Log out form ur mi account from ALL the browsers, clear their cache, history, logins and everything. Then change ur ip/use proxy and try requesting for unlock.
Btw have u requested for unlock before? If yes then it happens...happened with me too... Dont know exactly why this happens...

Hi all, I have a OnePlus Nord CE global version and it's bricked - I get the "Qualcomm Crashdump" screen whenever I try to load it up. My main issue is that I only have a Mac, so I can't run the MSM software all guides and walkthroughs are talking about. Is there a guide or a solution on how to unbrick the device for Mac users? Thanks!

The issue is a little different, but I hope it helps.
I had this too, but it seems that windows is a must.
My solution was to create a windows10 environment with mac bootcamp.
You can download windows10 here.
(You can probably download the same OS from your country.)
If you need a product key, you can buy it at a very low price (about $5) at an online auction.
You might be able to solve it with 64GB of Mac storage and $5.
By the way, Parallels is more expensive than that, it is difficult to create an environment for customizing smartphones, and there are some things that are impossible, so I do not recommend it.
I also don't recommend VirtualBox.
