Did you use the miflash_unlock app after that?

Yes, I got the error from the miflash_unlock app.

Did you wait the 7 days?

is there anyway to unlock bootloader without permission on miui 10?

One of my friend has redmi note 3 kenzo
It would be very helpful if someone has a trick to unlock bootloader without permission.

I think there is no need of permission for old devices for unlocking bootloader.
One of my friend has Redmi note 4X and was able to unlocked without asking for permission.
even this worked for his Redmi 3S but with 72hours of waiting time.
Just logged in into Mi unlock tool with same account as in device and your friend should be able to unlock bootloader (maybe not right away but with several hours of waiting time)

Problem isn't that
Problem is :- He is not able to add his mi account from developer option for oem unlocking.
An error occur always.

Try unlocking without adding account. It worked for me. It should work for you too.

Yes, right. Log in in Mi unlock tools on PC with the same account as in the phone and then connect phone in fastboot mode but first make sure oem unlock is enable and usb debugging is turned on. ignore the account log in in phone.
just give it try.

Log out of mi account in your phone, log in again, associate that account with your device then try unlocking the bootloader. Worked for me that way.

sorry but I don't get it... if you login to Mi account that means you are getting permission from Xiaomi isn't not?

Don't be confused. Older devices are unlockable without even applying(i am saying this on my experience) i have unlocked two of my friends Redmi 3S and Redmi note 4X without even applying to xiaomi.
never devices needs to have permission to unlock and it takes time and request can get rejected if the it does not meet their conditions.
if you have old device such as more than a year or more.
Just download and install Mi flash tools and you are good to unlock but it still shows error of 50% or stuck at 99% so you'll have to unlock after remaining hours which will show on mi unlock tools.

I just used this method to unlock my Mi Max 2, Miui 10

Its most likely server error from xiaomi as it happens many times and almost everyone faced it whoever tried to unlock i guess.
Please try again later and if possible try and connect to different WiFi network before adding account.
Also you can just give it a try by enabling USB debugging, oem unlock turned on from developers options and then just turn off your device and boot into fastboot mode and try unlocking it, regardless of adding mi account.
You should also try some different versions of mi unlock tools(preferably older version).
As i have mentioned it worked without even adding account and it took 3 days to unlock as it was getting stuck at 50% or 99% and was asking to wait for 72 hours and later it unlocked in first try so this should work for you too.
There is unofficial way to unlock bootloader please search on XDA/YouTube or some other websites.

Thanks for the help if this works it will help me out a lot.

Hi, I have xiaomi 9 pro, I unlocked it successfully after getting the permision, tried to flash it following all the instructions, and at the end it showed error "Not catch checkpoint (\$fastboot -s *lock)" and the phone does not turn on anymore... so it is locked and I cannot ask for another permission... any suggestions how to fix that?

See. This is why you should flash WITHOUT locking BL in MiFlash, if something goes wrong u can do it again but if you have locked BL, then you probably need to use EDL

I wasn't able to solve any problem with the EDL point yet. Sorry to say that. Therefore, as Marcelsky said, don't lock your phone by flashing. Pay attention to the button in the Mi Flash. Otherwise may the phone stuck in the bootloop, or will not start and ..

Can't unlock bootloader, Stuck at 50/99% (Couldn't verify device)

Hi!
I can't seem to unlock my device despite 2 times waiting 10 days after activating my account. It gets stuck at couldn't verify device when using the Mi unlock tool. Any ideas?`
- I've already tried installing and reinstalling usb and adb drivers multiple times.
- I've tried on different PCs.
- I've tried different USB outlets.
- I've tried different Mi Flash Unlock Tools, old and new.
What could be the problem here?

is your phone listed on the xiaomi website under your account?

If ur system is amd try using intel this worked for me (I didn't unlock the device I still have to wait couple of days but atleast I could pass the verify step using intel, amd is always stuck at 50/99%)

Where should it be listed? account.xiaomi.com --> "Products"?
I cannot see mine there, but on the phone I successfully added xiaomi account to phone and verified it. What should I do to unlock phone?

make sure it's listed on here https://us.i.mi.com/

Unlock Xiaomi redmi 9

Hello, in need of some help.
I am having a great deal of difficulty in unlocking the bootloader on my Xiaomi redmi 9. I've completed all of the steps that Xiaomi ask customers to do and that any expert I've seen on YouTube doing. But after two weeks I still can't even get to the dreaded wait two weeks to unlock stage, if I could then I'd be a happy man!
I've got developer options sorted, turned on oem and debugging, linked my account to the mi unlock in developer settings, device found and on. Also updated drivers on my windows 10 laptop, signed in to my account on the mi unlock program, set phone in fastboot and then the unlock program verifies my device, but at 100% it keeps on giving me the same response ( please add your account in miui's settings-developer options-mi unlock status) which is crazy because I've completed all of the required steps and then some more steps to try and get past this can't unlock message. Also tried older versions of the unlock tool, but no luck.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated, or a direction to go in to help me unlock the phone. I've contacted mi customer service for help, but they keep sending me the steps that I should follow to get unlock status and I've tried this a thousand times!

Bootloader unlocking guid/ Binding Account
First signout mi account,
Then reboot phone,
Then open developer option and click on
mi unlocked status
Then add your account here,
Now it's successfully binded
Then rest of the process do with laptop or computer

Hi, thanks for responding. I've just tried that and unfortunately it's the same outcome, 'couldn't unlock'

are you using Redmi 9 with NFC version ?

Hello, yes it has NFC, I've just checked

yes its version problem, there was a lot of people reporting can't unlock bootloader for redmi 9 NFC version
for more detail maybe you can check post in this here with title 'Redmi 9 Root'

Thanks for the help. So I've bought a phone to root and it looks like I've bought the only one in the world that you can't even unlock the bootloader on ??*. I wondered why I couldn't find any more information. The phone is still under a month old, I might see if I can return it, ffs!

same here was happy about the price 101€ only but now i will return it too... i don´t want to have a phone without root

I had the same problem as you described.
Today, I did log off my MUI account from the phone settings and logged in again.
I started "mi unlock status" under development settings and added my phone.
Booted into fastmode and started the mi unlock program and got the message "please wait 168 hours ..."
In the past, I did always receive the message "add your account in mi unlock status"
I'm not sure, what did the trick:
logoff and login or just had to wait, that xiaomi fixed their unlock process.
Hopefully, I will get the phone unlocked in a week.
*fingers crossed*

I received information from the technical support that only one phone number must be active on the smartphone, the one assigned to the account. Secondly, if it still does not work, try several times until it shows the time to unlock.
It worked for me.

successfull unlock

Hello, thanks for your info on the 168 hrs wait. I went back on and tried again and got the 168 hrs wait too. I messed it up the first week and must have signed out, so I had to wait another week. Anyway unlocked now, but I'm having just as much of a problem trying to flash twrp to my phone. In command prompt every downloaded file I've tried and used won't recognise the prompts, can't get past the prompt fastboot devices or ADB devices! So can't find my phone to enable flashing twrp across and in turn I can't root my phone! It's driving me nuts.
Usb debugging on
Ptp selected
Windows drivers find my phone
But still having problems when trying to use command prompt in platform tools ?

lock
How can I lock it again ?

i have waited 168 hrs now its telling to wait 168 hr again...what can i do

the answer is,you have to wait,or contact xiaomi,lol.
