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.

Should i create a new account and check?

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...

Hope this will get the job done.

Remember don't try this unless you don't mind possibly breaking your phone.

I do not love Magisk. Can I install TWRP and then SuperSu?
My phone is coming today. I want magisk because I want to use the app to customize.
Yes, that will work, TWRP is key here, magisk or SU is a preference. Grab the full ROM (1.4 GB) make a backup and you are good to go, you'll be able to recover no matter what you do.
Has anybody yet managed to unlock, install TWRP and flash EU rom? My device arrives tomorrow and this is the first thing I want to do.
I tried to unlock but I can't even unlock the phone. Maybe I'm an idiot but it's just too hard to follow this directions and there's also some Chinese involved.
I cant unlock the phone. I guess we need a CHINESE VPN To unlock it.

Seriously? I have unlocked several Xiaomi phones and never seen this. You definitely set up your Mi account and received approval for unlocking via sms?
I have my account all set up. I did not receive an an sms saying I can unlock it. I tried going through the process then I get the IPS error.

I just setup my account last night and received approval, and do not even have the phone yet. You should get an immediate verification SMS, and then a little bit later I got approved.
Don't know why I can't get it to work. I even downloaded turbo VPN to use a Chinese VPN to try to get the code and it would not work

Usually takes about 36 hours hours till you get unlock it through xiaomi.
FWIW,the vast majority of the original Mi MIX handsets that were sold by 3rd party vendors shipped with an unlocked bootloader,same w/the Mi Note2 Global version.
Have any of you checked for an unlocked bootloader?
Good question. Open the dialer, *#*#7378423#*#* should pop up a new system info window, you can verify in it.
...or just try to fastboot flash recovery twrp.img and see what happens.

i just got my mix 2 and had the same problem, use plexvpn and choose the shanghai gateway
Will try that when I get home. I actually got them to give me permission to unlock but now in the unlocking tool it says at 99 percent that the device is not associated with the account or something like that. I try to associate my account in developer options and I get a 10008 error. This is so brutal
That plexvpn did it with Shanghai location! Thank you. Now I will try and unlock and see what the next puzzle brings me!
This is crazy! Just had another problem. Tried to unlock by the unlock tool and now it says "Couldnt unlock. Binding time is too short. Less than 72 hours." UGH!!!! Any help would be appreciated!
You have to wait it out I'm afraid - I don't believe there is any shortcut. I had same issue with Mi 6 and it worked exactly after time had expired. You're nearly there...just a bit more patience!
Just registered to inform you all, that we, russian owners of Mi5x at 4PDA found out that official Mi5X unlock via MIUI Unlock tool is available and works like a charm.
yes !!! unlocked my mi 5X this morning !!! Go Go GO unlock !!!
Thanks for your kind information. I just bind my account by vpn, so I have to wait 72 disgusting hours.
Yes, thats right! just follow this tutorial http://www.dadroidrd.com/2017/11/cara-unlock-bootloader-xiaomi-mi-5x-100.html ,and BANG! my device unlocked after 72 hour binding
F*ck*n xiaomi ask me to wait for 360 hours. WTH

You need to bind your account to that phone for that stated period,
sucks i know,
you can try with other Mi Account though, since it seems the waiting time is account dependant
yesterday i try with my another older Mi Account created back around Mi3 era, and suprisingly it allow me to unlock right away :silly:

Developer options - device unlock status - bind account
New account wont do, the longer the time since your last unlock will do better
There's no count down btw

Background:
- I have had this Xiaomi account for many years and have used it successfully to unlock BLs on 5+ devices
Problem:
- I waited 168 hours to unlock - > error -> please wait additional 240 hours
- I waited 240 hours to unlock - > error -> please wait additional 240 hours
168 + 240 + 240 + ... :crying:
Has anyone else had this issue? What did you do to resolve it?

Yes I've seen others have this problem, as far as I know the only solution that worked was to wait. They tried creating a new Mi account to use for unlocking, but I guess the unlock server validation recognised they was trying to get around the wait period and it still give them the same long wait time on the new account.
I believe this happens if Xiaomi believe you are a reseller installing unofficial ROMs. Have you unlocked many phones recently, within the last couple of months or so? For some reason their algorithm that determines these things must have flagged your account.

Thanks for your advice. In response to your question, the last device I unlocked was a RN5p about 18 months ago.
I read somewhere in the forum that you have to use the phone in order to get it unlocked. Not sure but have you been using the phone regularly while waiting for the unlock?

Yep that's true. I had that problem with my second phone. (Redmi note 7)
I tried to unlock and it said 168 hours. So I turned it off and waited. After 168 hours I got again some hours!
With latest unlock tool you also get the message that your phone needs to be connected and you need to use it actively. But I didn't knew that before. With my Mi 9T Pro i did it like that and voila no issues with unlocking.

Hi Yes.
With me already happened on 2 devices, I waited for the initial time for the unlock and with a few hours left to finish the time I tried and received a new time count (average of 50% of the initial time).
I logged into the device with another xiaomi account and logged out, just this. I logged back in with the initial unlock request account and then tried the unlock and it worked.
I imagine that signing in with another account should start some synchronization process between the device and the account and with that update ....
PS. Be careful, and use only a trusted xiaomi account, as in the event of an error, your device may get stuck with bootloader locked in an unknown account.
Have nice!
Hello
So, i wanted to unlock my phone's bootloader so that i can use pixel experience (i hate MIUI, atleast MIUI13) and i created an account with my phone number and added account under Mi Unlock Status, but then for some reason i deleted that account. Then i created another account with the same number and when i go to add it under Mi Unlock Status, it says "Cant add more accounts to this SIM Card. Try another" idk what that "another" thing is to try. How can i fix this problem? Can waiting for 7 days or even 30 days fix this problem? I have seen some people say they changed SIMs, but i cant do so. Also there are not many threads on this topic which would help me. I dont mind on waiting (better late than never). Please help me fix this.
Thanks )

The account may not be deleted from the Xiaomi servers yet. Wait.

Use the latest.
At the address provided above try to reset the password.
With Mi unlock prefer the connection with an email or qr code than the phone number.
