Need Help in Unlocking Mi5

I request for Unlock, after 30 mins got SMS that I'm eligible for unlocking my device.
I tried on the Mi Unlock tool, got stuck at 50%, got the "Couldn't verify device" error.
Downloaded Mi5 Global Developer ROM tried to flash, got "Couldn't Verify Update" error
Downloaded Mi5 China Developer ROM and tried to flash with Mi Flash tool, got "error:FAILED(remote:device is locked, cannot erase)"
PS: My developer options doesn't have OEM UNLOCK option.

Please Help me.

You need to flash the china developer ROM in the edl mode. To get into edl:
Boot into fastboot and connect the phone to your PC. Then (assumimg you have adb and fastboot with drivers set up) type "fastboot oem edl" in the fastboot prompt. If you are in edl, the screen will be completely black and in the device manager, you should see Ports/ Qualcomm HS-USB QDloader 9008 (or something similar) . If you see it, click refresh in MiFlash and flash the china dev ROM. Then unlock your bootloader.

You can use the Global Beta version (developer version).
I also used that one and had the same problem.
Just wait another day and try again.
There seems to be some syncing between the different Mi sites (mic.om/miui.com/etc) and it not always is as quick as we want to.
Have already read about some people that had to wait a week for this.
For me it worked today, after i got the same error yesterday as you have.
Just try tomorrow and the day after that etc.

You flashed the developer rom via system update or fastboot?
Can you please give me the link to the file, because I'm facing "couldn't verify update" error always

I had the same issue, couldn't Verify Device beyond 50%, but after reading the instructions given at MIUI website, problem solved.
Firstly, install a developer ROM. Then you'll have to boot it up normally, and login to Mi Cloud, using the same user ID that Xiaomi has given the permission to unlock device.
You'll then be able to use the Mi Unlock app to unlock, using the same user ID to login.

How to intall global rom with locked bootloader ?

Hi everyone,i have purchased xiaomi mi5 from AliExpress and i told the seller to not open the box,and thats what he did,he didnt open the box,so the phone came with stock Chinese stable miui 7.something,and when i updated,it updated directly to miui 8.1,no updated in between, straight to miui 8.1,but i want to install the global stable rom,the bootloader is locked,i have requested to unlock it but so far no news,i tried to boot in edl mode by holding the vol up,vol down and power and cable in at the same time and it boots in some mode but idk if its edl,as far as i know edl mode is with black screen with "Qualcomm HS-USB QDloader 9008" on the pc com ports,but in my case there is no such thing,and there is black and white phone with usb connect on the phone screen,but nothing on the pc,do i have problems with drivers or i dont enter edl at all ? and do any of you guys now any other method to install the global rom except the other one with the engineering cable ?, I really need your help guys please help me if you can,thank you in advance and have a great day

I've successfully updated my mi5 to global stable using the updater app even my bootloader is locked..however, when I got my mi5 2weeks it's on miui 8 global beta(dev rom) not chinese. Not sure if it will work on your device. Here's what I did:
1. Download global stable from xiaomi's official page
2. Reset the phone. (Settings > Additional settings > Back up & reset)
3. Transfer the zip file to phone (doesn't matter which directory)
4. Connect to a strong internet connection (this is important to verify the update package)
5. Open updater app, tap menu (upper right corner) then tap choose update package
6. Locate zip file and it will proceed with decryption process
Note: You need to be connected to a strong internet connection all through out the process or the verification and decryption will fail and get "can't verify update" error
Hope this helps. ?

I will try first what you tell me,if that doesn't work than i will try installing global beta if that works than global stable,thank you very much

No i didnt work with both beta and stable,now i will try to flash Chinese beta and after that i will try to install global beta or stable,i hope that works because i am out of ideas.
Screenshots:

Nope,nothing it didnt work unable to install global rom stable or beta,looks like i will wait for the bootloader unlock if any message comes at all i just hope they will let me unlock it,they definitely need to change the way bootloader is unlocked.

Coz you'r phone still has miui 7 (don't know in miui 8 coz never try it)..so i think you can try go into edl mode by adb command while in home screen.. "adb reboot edl" (don't forget to activate usb debugging in developer option first)

You don't need cutting you original cable..you can buy it like this one in aliexpress here , this already has converter too for usb type C
Sorry..i don't realize that fastboot oem edl just for unlocked bootloader..coz mine already unlocked, but i have some another way before you using deep flash cable to go into edl mode..but i can't testing it..coz mine already unlocked.
- I've read your first post about using hardware key to go into edl mode by pressing and hold vol up + vol down +(you said you're pressing power too, i think in this step you're wrong) then connect the usb cable..what i know..the right instruction is , pressing and hold vol up and down at the same time (without pressing power button)..then connect it via usb cable to your pc..then you can see in your device manager that success detecting as qualcom or not.
- In xiaomi redmi note 3 device you can go into edl mode through fastboot mode with command "fastboot reboot-edl", but this command only can apply with minimal adb that are already modified, you can download it from here

Are you sure @vlatko98 that your request to open bootloader is not granted? I made the request, waited for SMS for two weeks but nothing... So i navigated again to en.miui.com/unlock, logged in and I was able to download the mi unlock app. And the unlocking process was successfull.
If you havent, check if you can download unlock app and try to unlock your device with it.
How long ago have you made your request for unlock?

Sorry i didnt mention that i have tried with the vol buttons only as well,it didnt work,the phone boot up to recovery,same as holding the power button,soon i am trying with costume deep flash cable,there is no need to cut anything just to shourt ground and data from the usb connector that connects to the pc,i just dont understand why xiaomi if it plans to make global rom why not make it simple to change it,why users have to figure things out,we buy a phone to use it not to experiment with it,you hear me xiaomi ?
btw thx for helping me out.

If you already received sms that unlock already granted from xiaomi..there's another problem that sometimes your account not already correctly sync with xiaomi server..even already sync correctly still can't unlock flawlessly..
You can try following step and trying to unlock again and again..but just this time..just trying every day..if this day doesn't success too you can try it again tomorrow.
To make sure and minimize that everything is correctly:
- Make sure you're already at the latest china developer / beta rom..
- Enabling find device status at mi cloud in your phone..also just try login at i.mi.com (just this time try login with your acct number id) and activate find device too to make sure everything is sync correctly.
- Activate usb debugging and unlock in developer option in your phone..
- Trying unlock again with mi unlock..just this time try login with your acct number id too.
Hope it's help..and your phone can soon unlocked..

i tried all you tell me,mi unlock still says “your device is not supported by mi unlock” but i dont understand why i was able to make another request at mi unlock website,like the first time i did that,i requested again 2 days ago,i will see what will happen now.

I received another SMS and unlocked the bootloader successfully and I installed global stable ROM, thanks for helping guys )))

Messed up via oem lock command - can't access recovery - any help appreciated!

Hi all,
A few days ago I installed a custom ROM, which broke my android pay. I tried to re-lock the bootloader to fix this via the fastboot oem lock command, and i'm now stuck in a bootloop.
I can get the phone to boot into fastboot mode, and it shows up as such when checking via command prompt. I also have a backup of the phone I made a few days ago. I've tried to unlock the phone using the fastboot oem unlock command, but get the following error:
FAILED (remote: Token verification failed, reboot the device)
finished. total time: 0.008s
I bought the phone second hand with an unlocked bootloader, if that makes a difference? I've set up a new Mi account and applied for an unlock code.
Does anyone have any tips on how to proceed? Thanks in advance!

Stupid thing to think relocking your bootloader would fix android pay while still on that custom rom, whe have hacks for that you know >> magisk14/15.2
Do you still have twrp? also try to flash stock images from xiaomi themselves, here.
that should at least get you booting again.

Hi,
Thanks for replying, i'll download the global stable version. Is it a case of sideloading this once complete? I still have TWRP installed if it makes a difference, I just can't reach it :/
Yes I do feel pretty stupid, and thanks for the link to magisk - hadn't heard of it until now but i'll definitely be using when/if I get my Mi back up and running. Is there anyway to unlock the bootloader other than the Mi Unlock app?
Thanks!
EDIT: Okay, so i tried flashing via the MiFlash tool and got the following error:
FAILED: Remote device is locked. Cannot erase.
Any idea of where to go from here?

So, I fixed it! In the off chance anyone is as unlucky/stupid/trigger happy as me, and finds themselves in teh same situation, here's the solution:
If you can't get it into EDL mode because you can't switch it off (mine kept rebooting), follow this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ED96PJ-qYMM
It's in a foreign language but is clear enough - take the back off, unscrew the cover and short the pins he shows you after disconnecting the battery, then plug into your computer.
Your phone will pop up as a Qualcommdevice under the ports section of Device Manager. You should then be able to flash via MiFlash as per usual.
Phew, hairy there but sorted in the end. I'll now wait for the unlock code from Xiaomi, and do a bit more reading in future!

A much easier way to solve this problem
You don't have to follow any long tutorial. Nor do you have to open your phone up. Just power it into fastboot mode, download the mi unlock tool that you used the first time to unlock your bootloader and unlock your device once again. Then you can use miflash to flash the fastboot rom on your device and it won't throw up any errors. Once that's done, just reflash the custom recovery. Install the custom rom, use magisk for root and you're good to go. Safety net won't be tripped and android pay will still work. No need to rip your phone apart to fix it.

Please Help_After OTA Update Xiaomi Mi A2 died

On Saturday appeared an OTA update to do on my mi A2 but after installed and restarting it died. It does not enter recovery mode and the screen is always on with android one bootscreen logo.
PS: I never flash the phone and i never change anyting in the system of the phone.
The only response that i have in the phone is enter in it Fastboot menu. I read some threads and untill now i cant fix my phone.
I will try to explain what i do:
I've tried using this tool https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2/how-to/mi-a2-toolkit-unlock-bootloader-root-t3834585.
I try option 3 (Unbrick/Revert to Stock/Force update and the program tell me to unlock the bootloader.
When i tried to unlock bootloader by option 1 and then 1, 2 and 3 ( Unlock flashing critical, unlock OEM , unlock flashing ) the programs says: Failed Unlock is not allowed.
Then i try the response 9 to this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2/help/impossible-flashing-xiaomi-mi-a2-t3837565 to try unlocked the bootloader
But i have the same response ( Flashing Unlock is not allowed )
I read and i try but i cant unbrick my phone, someone can help?? Thanks

We are in the same boat buddy, the same thing happened to the phone of my wife.

It *sounds* like the update failed, and normally that would mean it would switch the slot back to the one that was working and boot that.
But you've tried a bunch of options from some tool, I've no idea what it did, as the tool doesn't tell you what commands it's doing.
I'd suggest to go to fastboot and see if you can tell which slot is active, then switch it to the other slot, then do fastboot reboot and cross your fingers

I have the same problem (for other reasons, but exactly the same problem). You can also try "fastboot oem edl", but it did not work for me, so I suppose you have little chance for it to work.
I have been searching and it looks like there are some "deep flash cables" that can make the phone enter edl mode to flash it using mi flash tool. Maybe these could work for us. There is apparently other way to enter edl mode, but it requires opening the phone (that I do not want to do) to short two test points.

I cant enter revorymode only fastboot mode. But when in fastbootmode my connected pc cant even find the phone. Im going to return the phone.

I have the same problem, I have this edl cable but so far no luck.
Do not realy k Ow how to use.

Are you sure it was the OTA update that bricked your phone? That Treble system isn't just there for the kicks, its there to prevent serious issues like these.

I'm stucked on fastboot, I don't want to open my phone. Could anyone help us? I already tried a lot of things, my computer doesn't recognize my mobile when is on fastboot mode. I already tried to install a lot of drivers or try to use differents adbs.

PLEASE HELP - Device Bricked - edl waiting for device

Hello I have a Mi A2 with ONE.
I tried to install Mi6X following this guide:
Guide
I got to step 9:
9- Click Refresh on Mi Flash Then choose Clean all and click flash
Then I got this error:
Error oem edl miflash tool, ACK count don't match
Then I tryed instead to install Jasmine again, and I started getting this error:
Cannot receive hello packet,MiFlash is trying to reset status
And then I was stupid enough to unplug my phone
THE ACTUAL PROBLEM (rigth now)
1. My phone will start, then stay at Mi(mi.com) logo indefinitely.
2. I can't enter download mode, Vol + and power will bring me the Mi logo again and again.
3. Can enter Fastboot mode... BUT...
-Mi flash don't detect it
-miflash_unlock don't detect it
-edl.cmd, unlock auto, and unlock critical say "< waiting for device >"
Edit: I solved the problem using test point to enter EDL mode, then It connected and I could flash it.

our phones (mia2) are weird devices to be honest, mine was recently bricked after choosing the "reboot to bootloader" option in twrp. id recommend you to go to mi service center if your phone is still in warranty
