Bootloader unlock - thoughts on other options

So I got my new phone a day AFTER the unlock codes went offline... I've been trying to get support to get me an unlock code, but 2 e-mails and no luck so far. I've got another 3 weeks to return my phone, which I will be doing if I can't get it unlocked by then. I never noticed how much I rely on certain root applications (AdAway for one, since it is a hosts file update that keeps bloat on my phone down and works with pretty much every app).
Some thoughts on unlocking the bootloader - is it feasible to script a fastboot oem unlock <number> that just brute forces through numbers until one works? I might try this later today.
Any methods by talking to the modem directly? (I had a phone a while ago that I could use Qualcomm's tools to directly flash with)
I'm running KingRoot right now, I'm not normally a fan of such tools and so far it's been at 1% for quite some time, so I have little hope it will actually do anything.
I wonder if it might be possible to correlate unlock codes with IMEI from previous unlocks to find a way to generate these for other IMEIs? Of course, this assumes they didn't just make a database that holds a random unlock code for each IMEI.
Hopefully I can get this figured out, I like this phone, but I came from OnePlus before and may end up sending my P20 back and looking at the OnePlus 6 instead.

Try the Blokada app, free and open source. It also uses host files, including adaway. Needs no root. Get it from their website or f droid.

Sadly, this doesn't block ads on HTTPS, things like youtube ads and such. More and more of the Internet is moving towards HTTPS, so this is starting to be a noticeable gap with Proxy/VPN adblockers. But I'll try this in the meantime, I verified YouTube ads are still present (they aren't on my phone with Adaway). Thanks for the suggestion, however.
Edit: Also, I tried AdGuard DNS and FoolDNS with the app, neither accomplished the blocking of YouTube ads.

If you do find a way to bruteforce it, by any chance, let me know. I am in the same boat, got my p20pro the day after they stopped unlocking the bootloader on request, and they are not accepting to do it trough emails

Send it back. OnePlus 6 or if you can wait, the pixel 3 will be a beast

Cracking the password may be possible? I'm in the same boat here. Got the phone the day off and emailed same day but no luck.
I really like the phone but I need root for bloatware tether and adblock etc.
In Huaweis email responses they said they cannot send an unlock code under any circumstances.

Jesus, add me in to the club of unlucky bastards [emoji53]
It looks like I am so used to using root for all my life and now this desperate situation is killing me.

Same here....
Yep same here it sucks....Got mine two days after they stopped offering the service....a couple of things to watch out for:
HCU-Client/DC Unlocker - It wont stay locked forever I think we all know that and I figure there is only a matter of time until HCU support the P20 Pro as they recently added the P20 Lite worth looking into and keeping an eye out on the above applications I've mentioned.
I spoke to someone I know who does remote unlocking according to him he can get a bootloader code for £60 so I will give him a go and post my results here. Even though I feel begrudged to pay £60 to do it.

I will gladly buy him a bootloader unlock code for 60e if that's my only option.

Ya keep us updated. I'd probably pay as well lol although that is a bit steep.

Update
Just to update everyone, I called support and explained my situation and that I would be returning the phone if I can't get the bootloader unlocked. They seemed disinterested in trying to help me. Maybe company policy is now firm on this, but if this is their answer, they've lost a customer. I will be returning the phone in 2 weeks (I left all the packaging intact and the protective films are still on the phone), unless by some miracle I can figure out how to get it unlocked before then.
I would -NEVER- buy a PC without being able to install a different OS on it, I paid (or soon to have not paid?) $800 for this device and to not be able to do with it as I please is a huge deal-breaker. I wasn't even planning on moving away from EMUI, but to know that I can't really bugs me. Hello Huawei, goodbye Huawei.
<Sorry if I seem dramatic, I'm a little sour because, I really wanted to love this phone, but alas, someone has too tight a grip and this relationship is suffocating>

I think HCU and DC unlocker will find a way to do it

If you have an EDL authorized account, you can save my life :)

Hey everyone !
This is my life :
I received my new Xiaomi Mi 8 on wednesday, I bought it on Gearbest.
The bootloader was unlocked, so I just looked for the MIUI 10 release on Xiaomi's website.
When I flashed it on my device with MiFlash, I accidentally re-locked my bootloader because the choice is checked by default. No big deal, at that point.
Then, I restarted my phone, but the OS won't start, the recovery showed up with an arror : "this MIUI version can't be installed on this device".
Why ? I didn't knew at first, but I guess my smartphone had MIUI's chinese version, not global.
So I just have to flash the chinese MIUI 10 version, isn't it ? No ! I have to unlock first.
So I looked at the bootloader unlock instructions : download the app, enter your ID, plug the phone, click on unlock...
No problem until this error shows up at 99% : "current account is not bound to this device".
So what do I have to do ? Link my phone to my Xiaomi account. How ? By going on the phone's settings. **** ! My phone is bricked, I can't do that.
Then, after hours of research, I found only two solutions : 1. open the phone, 2. get an EDL account
But there was no way I open the phone and risk physically destroying it so I looked for all ways to get a Xiaomi EDL authorized account.
The russian topic is closed, I tried another one, no answer for now. I contacted Xiaomi by 3 different e-mail addresses, the only answer is : contact Gearbest.
But I waited one month for this phone, I don't want to wait one more month, or two !
Then I was willing to pay S-Unlock to give me one, but when I visited their website and talked to them, they don't look like serious.
You, dear user, is the only one that can save my life today, by lending me your EDL authorized Xiaomi account, in order to unlock my bootloader again. Just once. Please, help me.
I will be very grateful
Thank you !

He needs teamviewer to help you authenticate.... But okay lol, then i guess u have to go with s-unlock, although it is not 100% successful (saw a post around here where a dude had a lot of problems). Honestly, just an advice, that dude is reliable and beggers cant be choosers.... ATB my friend!

When you get desperate (what I think will happen soon) you can go back to the site and look for the ENG button. Enjoy your brick until then. Good luck whatever you do.

I had the same problem. My Choice was s-unlock and that guy did a good job and unbricked my Mi8. But it will cost you $36,00 and he also needs access to your computer via Teamviewer. After 15 min i had a usefull Smartphone back. Be aware - the phone ist NOT unlocked then. You have to unlock it again with Xiaomi unlock-tool.

Even if there were a member here that can do it, it would most likely be using something such as TeamViewer. Just like you don't want them accessing your computer, they wouldn't entrust you with their account password just for the sake of fixing your device. With TeamViewer, you can generally see what the person is doing on your computer. If you have any concerns, use a separate user on your computer.

If I have your username and your password, I can access your account but I can't steal it, steal your personal data or prevent you from changing your cretentials and tracking me.
Why ? Simple : I don't have your e-mail address or your phone number.

Creating a new user doesn't prevent infecting the whole computer, even without elevated privilege.
Also, a sandbox is useless with remote control so the only way was virtual machine, I tried but it seems that even if the OS was detecting the phone in both ADB and fastboot mode, communication wasn't working.
However, I don't understand why I can't just buy an account.
I contacted S-Unlock but they don't want to do that either.

I don't think these people who are sort of "trusted" in their offered service are in it to push malware into your computer. Besides, thats why antivirus software exists. As for VMs, you are right, most never work, specifically due to driver issues.
It may be worth it to partition your hard drive and just create another installation of Windows. Most viruses aren't going to spread over to your other partition. You can install Windows 10 using the Media Creation Tool, no activation needed and it is not "piracy".
Also, you don't understand how the authorization works. Anyhow, simple question, how long have you had your Mi account for, and also, how many devices have you used with your account?

how do you expect these people to unbrick your device? Be happy it is possible. If you are really worried about them installing a virus which they wouldnt because it would cost their business duel boot into a different version of windows (no VM)

I totally agree with you. I faced the same issue 2 months ago. They send me a Chinese version, advertised as "global", also it was my first ever xiaomi, so my first flashing bricked my phone cause option to relock bootloader was ticked. I searched for days all over the internet hopping to find a solution but... So I returned the phone, but it took me almost 2 months cause they tried all kinds of tricks and they were out of Xiaomis. I think that VM works fine. I am on manjaro linux and I am running windows 10. I can connect my phone and flash it. After all, as you mentioned it, I don't think that someone offering this kind of service will risk his reputation to see what I have in my PC.

How do I know if my account is EDL or not?
My Xiaomi account was given approval to unlock my Redmi Note 3 pro some years ago. But I dont know if that would count for the Mi 8 too or if I have to ask for new approval?

Approval is for a very limited time. I'm sure it is no longer valid. Most issues people have can be resolved by contacting Xiaomi support, and assuming you don't have a history of abusing the authorization and you're not a new account (e.g. having to ask because you bricked more than one phone or having a Mi Account that was recently opened). Those set off red flags immediately.

Can someone give me the link to the website that can help me unlock it.

Thread closed, paid remote unlock services and those discussions take no place here

Need a way to remove mi account lock on my own device cause Xiaomi won't help

Some months ago, I purchased a Xiaomi Redmi 8 from a local store, here, in Greece.
The device was originally given to my brother who has been using it for about a month or so. He knows nothing about tech in general and I was not with him when he set up his phone, so he created a new gmail and mi account on his own.
A few days ago, he was given another device that he is more familiar with, so he decided to switch to it and give the Redmi 8 to my other brother.
Before handing it to him, he told me to create a backup of his photos and perform a hard reset on it in order to wipe everything in the device. I did so, but when rebooting the device after the hard reset, I came across a message telling me that the device is locked and that I need to log in using my old mi account in order to unlock it.
Well, you may have already understood what the problem is. He doesn't know the password to neither his mi nor his gmail account and he didn't even add his phone number as a password reset backup so there is no way for me to unlock it using that way.
Manual verification doesn't work either, cause the accounts are considered to be new, as there are no previous passwords, emails or any kind of history associated to them.
I searched about it and found out that I had to contact xiaomi global in order to sort this issue out so that's exactly what I did (I tried contacting Xiaomi Greece first but they told me that they couldn't help and that I had to send an email to Xiaomi Global).
I sent an email to Xiaomi describing my issue in detail. In the email I also included everything that proved that I am the original owner of the device, because I understand that without proof they wouldn't be able to do anything.
So I included:
- A photo of the locked device with me holding it
- A photo of the device's box with me holding it
- A photo of the IMEI numbers written on the box and on a sticker that came with the device, which I also included as text (in written form) in the email's body
- A photo of the official receipt that I received from the store upon purchase
- The email that my brother used for the mi account he created (he managed to remember the email but not the password)
After four days of communication, switching to different case managers and with me describing my problem again and again, their final answer was that they simply can't do anything about it, because of privacy concerns.
Keep in mind that I don't want to recover my brother's old mi account, I don't care about it, he doesn't care either. What I'm asking for is to have my legally purchased device unlocked, by either completely removing the mi account that is associated with it or switching it with a mi account that he actually knows the password for.
Since then, I've contacted Xiaomi Global again and again, multiple times, and I always receive the same reply, that due to privacy issues they don't accept any unlock requests. For my own legally purchased device ffs!
I read about similar cases online, that got sorted out without even providing a receipt of the purchase and my case is somehow related to privacy issues and cannot be solved, so I'm left with a totally useless device.
Is there any other way to unlock it, I'm extremely frustrated with their behavior, so much that I think I won't be buying any Xiaomi devices anymore.

I believe there is a mi-tool that will allow one too bypass the activation screen and get into your device os here is a link that can help

I haven't had to try it but people in the mi community have recommended it , other than that I'm sure how else to by pass user login
Unless you remember the user name you can try to renew change the password by logging in on pc

- The email that my brother used for the mi account he created (he managed to remember the email but not the password)
go to https://account.xiaomi.com and retrieve your password by mail and if you connected it to your sim number get it out of your phone and insert it in another one to reserve verification SMS

Hi. I have the same issue. Bypass don't work. Could it be helpful to downgrade the device to older OS? Does anyone has experienced a positive bypass?

And follow the steps, for me it worked perfectly

I have the same Problem, i purchased a Xiaomi Redmi 8 Pro (ther big one with 128GB Storage) second Hand. The Seller has removed his Google Account but not his Xiaumi Account. So he also has left his Data on the Telephone because he was very busy and asked me to remove it from the Phone.
So it's my first Xioami Device with having a Xiaomi Account and i never had anything to do with such Accounts, only the Google Account that you need on most of all Phones. So i performed a Factory Reset on the Phone and the Phone is now locked by the Xiaomi Account and unuseable. I have everything from the Seller, The Original Box, the original Bill (was originallly purchased in Czechslovakia i think) and the Papers came with the Phone.
Have someone an Idea what i can do? I live in Vienna/Austria and would be very thankful for any form of help to bring the Phone back to Life.
I contacted the Xiaomi Support, i tried some Guides in Youtube Videos with won't work with my Phone or are Fake, tried some Account Unlock Tools.... I have no Idea anymore, maybe someone here can help me out please?

i bought it as a used phone and fastboot means bootloader is locked. is there a way to unlock it via fastboot mode?

To check if bootloader is unlocked, while booting up but before the boot animation, there should be an unlocked lock.
If you can't find that lock then you should go visit a support center or so
If it is unlocked tell me here and I'll help

Unforgently i think it isn't unlocked because i cannot see this unlocked lock at bootimg up. Any ideas?

Tech support

Just follow the method #1 of the guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...for-merlin-redmi-note-9-redmi-10x-4g.4233977/
(Method #2 is specific for MERLIN devices. If your device is NOT merlin, you can brick it.)

It will lock bootloader again.
If you have unlocked bootloader and want to backup it, just backup the SECCFG partition.
And then, after the "firmware upgrade" just restore the SECCFG partition.

The Bootloader is already seems to be locked, so its no Problem if the SP Flash Tool will lock it again. But its a good Hint, Thank you anyway.
I just want to have a working Device for Daily use because i sold my other Phone and buyed this one as a used one because a friend of mine use the same Model and is very pleased with it. It has some useful functions huawei doesn't provide.
For now i have to use the reserve Phone from a friend of mine, a LG G3 D855 with 1GB of RAM and Android 5. So i will be very happy if my Xiaomi Redmi 8 Pro working like it should work.
But for now i'm warned and can everybody strongly recommend to look that the seller of an mobile phone has removed ALL of his accounts from the phone befire you buy it.

Unhappy, neither Xiaomi or Google asks if you want to protect your device asking for password if anybody try to wipe data.
You are right, we need to confirm if everything is clear before to buy.

Hi why is everybody hard resetting their phones the old way, in Xiaomi devices the proper way is to do it thru the settings menu or simply logout the mi account of the device (but offcourse doing it this way will ask for a pasword).
In regards to your quetions you may have to options:
1. Ask the seller to remove the phone from his mi account in https://i.mi.com/
2. Jtag the phone or going for the prior mentioned software https://www.androidjungles.com/download-mi-account-unlock-tool/

Actually if you go into recovery (stock one), it has the option to contact support thru mipcsuite. Once I had the good " the system has been destroyed" screen and they fixed it for me w/o even contacting each other

Motorola Unlock Code

I understand this is a longshot.
Does anyone have a good third party tool that can unlock the bootloader for my moto z3 play? I cannot get the unlock code from Motorola because the phone is from a carrier.
Thanks,

so, not sure how this happened, but I went to the Motorola unlock website again. Entered the oem unlock code. Received the message that I can’t unlock my phone.
entered into development mode in chrome, and clicked around. Didn’t change anything.
clicked on the “I agree” radio button on the terms and conditions.
clicked “check device eligibility” again, Received the same error message that my phone is not eligible for the program.
Noticed that Request unlock code button had appeared. I clicked the button to get my code, and it actually worked. Not only that, the code I received unlocked the bootloader.
I wish I could replicate my steps. I wasn’t keeping track of what I clicked on because I was not sure I was going to get anywhere.

Hi I am a moto z droid user and have same issue because my phone is a verizon variant and the bootloader cannot be unlocked. Some method of brute forcing bootloader were introduced but didn't had any luck or success. I want to root my phone and I can't. There isn't even any exploit for this device and it's a shame because this device is still not completely junk and can be used as a daily driver. I was looking for exploit to root phone but didn't found anything let's hope someone else will join this thread and we could do something about it.

Nevermind. I found a tool called sigma key. It basically unlocks the bootloader idk how but I know it is possible. It is a paid software but for some devices you would have to buy the software as well as a device which is expensive. The device and software is not intended for personal use only. I have many shops near me that have those devices and they do open frp lock, change imei, and solve mobile software related problem so I will give that a try. Bye my device is supported on their website. It is XT1650.
You can check yours at www.sigmakey.com
If any help needed I will be here. Peace out

Question Unlocking - what's best practice if..

Whats best practice to unlock a new RN10-Pro safely and maybe without 7d wait period if I have an existing mi account, that was used with the same simcard/number, to unlock a RN10 (w/o pro) phone about a year ago?
should or can I use the same account? why or why not?
do I end in trouble if I try to unlock it with a new account but the same simcard/phone number?
in this case, is it possible to skip the 7d wait time? or is it unavoidable when unlocking a new/different phone?
let me know what you did in similar cases! thanks in advance

You can use the same account every month for unlocking, so after a year there is no problem.
I have used several different sim cards with the same account for all new phones.
You only need a data simcard inserted with starting the procedure.
My number is always the same from another simcard in another phone without data.
You can't skip the 7 days

I have to RMA my old device and won't get it back, do I have to delete this phone and phone-number in my mi-account before trying to add and unlock the new phone (with same sim/number)? or am I at risk for waiting longer than 7 days if I do anything like that on my account?
I was going to lock my old device again.. and then I could theoretically delete the phone and number in the account.
I just don't want to mess up something that could interfer with the unlock of the new phone.

How would you do that? I've never heard of anything safe and serious that could unlock a xiaomi without the wait period yet.

If your simcard or number not change you only have to change the phone.
But even this, I think, the phone on your account has nothing to do with unlocking.
I have 4 Xiaomi phones in my account and only one number and had used another data sim with unlocking a new phone.
Before I start with unlocking I always look with "find my phone" if the phone is recognized as mine

yeah, well not really thanks
I mean, having a person you don't really know, controlling your pc (and phone) remotely, and letting them run executables of unknown source and behaviour, is totally the opposite of "safe and serious"
If I could learn, compile and execute it myself it might be an option.. but as it was already mentioned, it's not even a mediatek phone that we are talking about
