Is unlocking bootloader via Linux possible? - Xiaomi Redmi 4X Questions & Answers

I currently only have linux on my laptop. I downloaded th Mi Unlock Tool, but it's for Windows only.
Can I unlock the bootlaoder of Redmi 4/4X using linux? like

no, not yet.

That's what took me so long to unlock mine. I finally just installed the unlock tool on my son's laptop to unlock. Even on their own forums there are constant requests for a Linux unlock tool but Xiaomi doesn't seem to care.

Is there a way to flash a rom with linux? Yes, the bootloader is unlocked but I don’t have a windows system at the moment.
Thanks!

Once the phone is unlocked you can use ADB in Linux.

I did a lot of research, and the only way to unlock the BootLoader for free is to use PotatoNV software. Just wanted to let you guys know, so that you dont waste your time.
Tested and it worked on P9 Lite and P20 Lite.
If you need a guide, i can make one.

I finally unlocked the bootloader today, but most of the toolkits i tried seems to not work!
I'm still trying to install TWRP so that i can use it to root and install custom roms :/
Hello, can you make that guide you said? It would be great because I have no idea where to start from!

Yeah I already checked that but Im not sure of how shoud I proceed with some of the steps.
Salam
Yes ! Its work on P9 Lite VNS-L21.
after use potatonv & unlock bootloader I get error " FAILED (remote: image verification error)" during installation TWRP in fastboot mode.
for fix this error , I unlock bootloader again with new bootloader code in fastboot.
type below command in fastboot :
fastboot oem unlock **************** (instead of * , type new bootloader code)
​​
I WASTED MY time for that.Potatonv s****s because why need disassembly for that

Unlock Bootloader for Rog3 A12

THe unlock tool in asus official site is for A11 and my android is A12, So then how would i proceed to unlock bootloader in my device?
I have a similar problem on my ROG Phone 3 Tencent edition, If you don't have OEM Unlock in the Developer settings, I think that the only way for now is rollback to Android 11 using the firmware on ASUS website wiping your phone.
I've done that, but whith te tool provided by ASUS, I still can't unlock it, it just restart the phone whitout doing anyting.
Furthermore my PC doesn't recognize my phon in Fastboot mode (Yes I'm using side port and original cable).

You have the same problem that i had. First must unbrick your bootloader then flash raw image because your pc doesn't find your phone. Follow this steps https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...bricked-asus-rog-phone-3-23-nov-2021.4151443/

Ok you're lucky then when the phone boot try to unlock your phone but if not unlock you must rebuild your bootloader. As I sent you the link before
