I dont know but if you have installed non original rom isnt ur phone already unlocked?
Probably you can unlock your phone just make an application you can probably check the bootloader state from fastboot by
Code:
fastboot oem device-info
in fastboot mode

You can't!!!
You need to flash a official China Stable 8.0.5.0 ROM to unlock - tried it with different phones and methods...

I have not activated the "find device" and is still unlocked.

Hi
I have recently purchased a Redmi 4 Prime phone that came with the vendor rom and I wanted to flash the latest china dev rom, but am stuck in bootloop. cant enter DL mode, but fastboot is OK. unfortunately none of the adb commads work, the phone is recognized under "fastboot devices" but not under "adb devices". I have tried the fastboot2edl v2 method but is goes straight into bootloop. can you please suggest what to do and help me out?

Try to turn it off and press volume down + up and power until the LED flashes red and connect USB - it should be recognized as Qualcomm ******
If not, then build your own deep flash cable or order one on ebay or something... - with that u can reach the DL mode on nearly every Qualcomm device

Flashed the Developer Preview Rom and it worked

usually the issue with unlock is a different username used to login. use the same, either email, number or name on both.
should solve it.

Can anyone translate this to English?

Could make it easier to flash a new ROM

11 days ago I apply for the bootloader unlock.
I'm in trouble. I want to install an unofficial rom and this says mi.

Then use unofficial unlock.

Question Note 10 pro won't show up in MiFlash Unlock 5.5.224.24

Hi,
I recently bought a Note 10 pro (M2101K6G) since my Note 6 pro died and now I'm trying to unlock the bootloader.
However, I can't seem to get the phone to show up in the MIFlash Unlock tool. (Downloaded here)
What I did:
- First I installed the xiaomi usb driver.

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
- Then I enabled developer options and then USB Debugging and OEM Unlock.
- Then I added my Mi account to the phone and it said Added successfully. Mi account is associated with this device now.
- After that I booted to fastboot, connected the phone and startet up the Unlock Tool (batch_unlock.exe) as Administrator.
- Then I logged in in the Unlock Tool.
- However, the Unlock Tool is still empty.
Trying to start the tool first and the connect the phone didn't work either.
The log from the Unlock Tool is attached to this post.
When I do a fastboot devices my phone will show up like this. However it still won't show up in the Unlock Tool.
I also tried following many tutorials and the difference was always that the current version of the Unlock Tool is called batch_unlock.exe and the older versions are called miflash_unlock.exe.
So I also downloaded an older version (miflash_unlock-en-4.5.813.51) and tried this one.
However, I can't seem to get past the account screen (my guess is because it is outdated?):
However, here in the settings I was able to click check driver and it seems that I have a correct driver installed:
So can anyone help me get my device unlocked?
Thank you!

Try this new version and run as administrator. It should work
Code:
http://miuirom.xiaomi.com/rom/u1106245679/5.5.224.55/miflash_unlock-en-5.5.224.55.zip

Click refresh few more times. I too faced this issue. Or try plugging in device to some different port.
Connect phone to PC before launching flash tool.

I only have the included one since this is my first USB-C device. I will try to get some cables to test tomorrow. However, data transfer works with the cable and adb and fastboot can detect the phone. Just not the unlocker.

....if "fastboot devices" shows up a number then your system has recognized your phone. So the problem is miflash.
Try to copy the whole miflash-folder to the root of your HDD, then run as Admin. Before do this restart your PC. Try this with different versions of miflash-unlock tool.

Question Mi 11 Ultra MIUI 13 Issues

Hi, I am trying to find out the best I am able to but I am having a lot of issues when upgrading to the new MIUI. Everything was fine on 12.5 but when upgrading to 13 it now restarts everytime I put it in my pocket on lay it down. So I wanted to unlock bootloader to download a rom and set it back to 12.5 but I am not receiving any sms and it is very hard to use a phone that is powered off except for when I directly use it. I have developer settings, USB debugging, oem bootloader unlock setting, and the device linked to my account. I am on Chinese stable 13.0.9.0. Any help is appreciated!

Yes it was an ota to 13 cn. I have tried the hard reset in recovery mode, redownloading the update and factory resetting and no luck so far. Unless you are suggesting to hard reset then power on the reboot and hard reset again?

Is your account or your device not authorized?
If it's the phone, maybe it's because it's branded.

Also having the problem of receiving verification message when trying to unlock my blootloader. Hand mi 11 ultra on att and didn't get verification message, today switched to t mobile and still same issue

Older versions when I log in they load my Xiaomi profile it's weird, I cannot exit it then. I tried talking to unbrick ru but nothing other than the normal forum. I am trying to put the sim in my 10t pro on global to hopefully be able to unlock my account.

I don't think that this is carrier issue. I switched from att because my phone stopped working today because they shut down 3g service. So I just went to att and transfeed my number to them but verification message is still not coming through

Could you check this:
https://www.mi.com/global/verify/#/en/tab/imei
Try to create or use a new Mi Account
i. Logout your current Mi account from your phone.
ii. After you removed the account, reboot your phone.
iii. Then, add and bind the account again.

The process is simplified and permission is granted automatically. You don't have to fill in any application form or wait for the SMS anymore.
Check this:
1. Settings--- About phone--- MIUI Version (Keep tapping it to enable developer option).
2. Settings--- Additional settings--- Developer option and bind your approved Mi account under Mi Unlock Status.
3. Log into the Mi account which has acquired unlocking permission on your device.
4. When you logged into the Mi Unlock Tool, tap on the top-right gear icon to check the update for both USB driver and Mi Unlock Tool. Make sure you're running the latest version.
5. Turn off your device, press the Power button and Volume - button at the same time to enter bootloader mode.
6. Log into the unlocking tool on PC with the same Mi account. Connect the device to the PC using USB cable
7. Press 'Unlock' and follow the timer/ waiting period shown in Mi Unlock Tool to unlock successfully.

No verification text coming through has been an issue for well over a year now. Something is broken on Xiaomi's end of things, most likely with their system simply no longer being able to text American or maybe even just non-Chinese phone numbers.
Anyway, I too had the phone not work on ATT with the 3G stuff but I was able to fix it by talking to their customer service and getting my IMEI onto ATT's approved whitelist and the phone works perfectly again with full LTE, "5G" and VoLTE. Switching to TMobile may be a temporary and easy fix for now, but TMobile is shutting down their 3G network in a few more months and you may go through this whole thing yet again. At least TMobile doesn't use a whitelist like ATT, which is where the main problem comes from, but you will have to get your phone to simply "force" VoLTE on your device and hope it works on TMobile's end of things. Officially the phone is unsupported on TMobile and their website's IMEI checker says so.

Yeah i probably should have do the same and talk to ATT. Yesterday i wasn't happy about switching to tmobile because guys there give me plan that i definitely didn't ask for and a (free watch as they said) today i noticed that my plan that should have been 75$ a month is 120$ and watch isn't free at all lol
So gonna go to them again soon and talk with them.
But hey, i finally received my confirmation code today and right now in process of installing xiaomi.eu rom

Question Mi Unlock

the bootloader is the problem. it's locked.
hello!
my old xiaomi mi max 3 for my number +46739***2 broke, it’s stuck in an infinite bootloop and i just got my new xiaomi and i see it’s still a pain to unlock the bootloader i still the have same sim card and number and that sim card is in my new phone.
so, i start the program, enter email and password, next screen has send sms verification, i click sure, send it to my number and then a prompt pops up as an overlay on top forever showing "checking for security issues...." and i can never get past this step.
i had this problem for days now.
now i signed into my mi account on the web instead and opted for deleting my account with phone number and just creating everything from new but at the final confirmation stage i aborted, closed the web browser and started the unlock tool again and this time for the first time i got to the unlock screen with instructions on rebooting the phone into fastboot and yes yes agree, so verifying device counting up to 100% in green text but then at the unlocking stage i got "couldn't unlock" unknown error. try again later (1004).
i try using the miflash_unlock but after the login i never recieve the sms for verification, my number is +4673***162 so why don’t i ever get the sms? i tried resetting and filled out the form to the best of my memory but recieved this sms shortly after:
"Hi 18******40! Your request made on 5/1/2022 to reset your security questions has been unsuccessful. Here''s why that may happen: Your current region is different from your frequent sign-in regions. The info you provided is incomplete. Add missing info and submit again." I can't find this form anymore. does it go away after X amount of failed attempts or has everything gotten so confusing for me that i just forgot?
whats going on here? do i have to delete my mi account, buy a temporary prepaid sim and pretend to do everything from scratch at the very beginning. By registering a new account and hooking up a new number to it!?

the first link you posted has this in it's text "https://en.miui.com/unlock/" and when i click it firefox auto downloads this empty text document: -hbmtAl5 and when i try again this: 7U3VK_UW and again: uBIUN7p- and just for fun one more try: ALBK-TFl. xiaomi is having a lot of odd issues here, like some ghost in the machine weirdness.
Anyway, to link 2 you provided: the xiaomi cloud, yes I'm logged in on the phone and go the page up here on desktop firefox as well. 1.09gb used. (i read somehwere i had to login on the phone, sync messages without wifi using the phone data).
their forum is useless, i login, create a topic and click post and get redirected to "you need to login to post", a vicious circle jerk of perpetual hell. their global customer support only gives me copy paste replies with no answer at all. i think maybe this will be the last xiaomi i buy, but bought it i did so i have to salvage the situation for now.

What do I want to do with this broken link?
Which version of Mi Unlock are you using?
You can download versions of Mi Unlock on my first link or here
https://www.miui.com/unlock/index_en.html

i tried a few different versions including the latest:
miflash_unlock-en-6.5.421.8
miflash_unlock-en-6.5.406.31
miflash_unlock-en-6.5.224.28
miflash_unlock-en-5.5.224.24
adb-setup-1.4.3
latest_usb_driver_windows.zip
and i checked that MIUI on the phone is updated.

oh and since windows 10 route wasn't working i looked up this for linux "XMT2_Linux_20.7.28.run" but no more luck there.

Have you tried logging in with the QR code?
Otherwise Developer option and unlink your approved Mi account under Mi Unlock Status,log out from the phone, delete the phone on https://us.i.mi.com/
and create a new account.

the bootloader is the problem. it's locked.
hello!
my old xiaomi mi max 3 for my number +46739***2 broke, it’s stuck in an infinite bootloop and i just got my new xiaomi and i see it’s still a pain to unlock the bootloader i still the have same sim card and number and that sim card is in my new phone.
so, i start the program, enter email and password, next screen has send sms verification, i click sure, send it to my number and then a prompt pops up as an overlay on top forever showing "checking for security issues...." and i can never get past this step.
i had this problem for days now.
now i signed into my mi account on the web instead and opted for deleting my account with phone number and just creating everything from new but at the final confirmation stage i aborted, closed the web browser and started the unlock tool again and this time for the first time i got to the unlock screen with instructions on rebooting the phone into fastboot and yes yes agree, so verifying device counting up to 100% in green text but then at the unlocking stage i got "couldn't unlock" unknown error. try again later (1004).
i try using the miflash_unlock but after the login i never recieve the sms for verification, my number is +4673***162 so why don’t i ever get the sms? i tried resetting and filled out the form to the best of my memory but recieved this sms shortly after:
"Hi 18******40! Your request made on 5/1/2022 to reset your security questions has been unsuccessful. Here''s why that may happen: Your current region is different from your frequent sign-in regions. The info you provided is incomplete. Add missing info and submit again." I can't find this form anymore. does it go away after X amount of failed attempts or has everything gotten so confusing for me that i just forgot?
whats going on here? do i have to delete my mi account, buy a temporary prepaid sim and pretend to do everything from scratch at the very beginning. By registering a new account and hooking up a new number to it!?View attachment 5604441

7. As shown on the photo it not able to detect the Mi Phone.
8. Even if you try to click on the unlock button it give error. Unknown Error. 1004 Try again Later.
9. I would love if it give option to wait for certain hours but that not seem to be the case.
10. This is my detail about my phone MIUI version :
MIUI Global 13.0.16
Stable
13.0.16.0(SKFMIXM)
Android Version : 12 SKQ1.210908.001
What Ive been trying :
0. Google the solution by put in the error code (all no avail)
1. Unlink the Mi account phone device and link it again (No avail)
2. Wait 72 hours to hopefully able to unlock (No Avail)
3. Factory Reset the phone and try to do step 1 - 2 again (No Avail)
If there anything that can be done I would love to hear opinion.

This is always my most feared moment with this brand. The forced wait is excruciating but at least they let us unlock it... unless you get this generic error crap. The OS reset won't work since it's the bootloader, but I know why you tried it. My best recommendation is scour just the manufacturer-named forums. There must be one solution not tried yet. Googling after that is your 2nd best option. Good luck.

As stupid it sounds, original USB-C Cable? Xi dont like 3rd Party cables that much, i recognized...

Maybe you can try to run a virtual image for Virtualbox inside the OS you have now.
Windows versions as image you can find here
Or look for family and friends with an old PC

It has to work correctly with newest windows versions.
Firewall could be a problem.
It sounds like driver problem. Remove all phone drivers and reinstall (check to take the right version)
