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.

Dear friends i done all this

Sorry for the late reply.
The thing is that in my device the sim card slot dont work so i cant add the account in unlock status.
Can you like tell me the full procedure that i have to do to unlock it.
Mi unlock tool just says you have to add account in mi unlock status.
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 ..

[NEED HELP BAD] Couldn't verify device: Can't get info. Can't unlock my bootloader

So 3 months after I got the phone, I tried to unlock the bootloader about 2 weeks ago, and got the timer (168 hours). Now when I tried to unlock it again, it's mostly giving me (Like 9.5 out of 10 times) a "Couldn't verify device: Can't get info" Error at 50%. There are rare instances when it goes beyond 50% and stops at 99% it will give me the following error (please see attachments).
I've tried everything from:
1. Re-linking my account in "Mi Unlock Status"
2. Removing fingerprints and lockscreen
3. Running unlock tool with admin rights
Could this be because I may have disabled some background apps or some of the apps I installed? I did leave Mi Cloud and Mi Account Sync on along with Find my device. If yes, then would a factory reset solve this problem?
I don't know what to do anymore :crying: . If anybody could help that would be greatly appreciated

Xiaomi sucks i had the same problem i got my phone 1 month earlier and everytime i tried to unlock they doubled the wqiting time in total im gettingv2 months of waiting and still im not sure after thzt, they will not add more time. They ducks with their unlock process, we want it to unlock this **** why making it complicated ? Chinese bastards

Download an earlier version of the unlock tool from here and try unlocking with the earlier version https://c.mi.com/thread-2262302-1-0.html
Some people have reported that using an older version works in these cases.

Use the miflash_unlock-en-2.3.803.10 version, it'll work!

You probably need to use a VPN service. I had similar problem with my MIX 2 and I had used Plex VPN and then only could unlock bootloader

Thank you to everybody who gave advice. It was weird, since what I did was:
1. Logged into the Mi Cloud website with my Mi Account
2. Checked if my phone was online
3. Tried the Find Me option, and was able to locate it (scary stuff and one of the reasons why I'm unlocking my bootloader)
4. Left it for a day and when I tried to unlock the following day, I was able to unlock it immediately
Seriously, the unlocking process of Xiaomi phones is a bit tedious and varied.

Thank you, using Find Me I was eventually able to unlock
I will agree on the tedious unlocking process. The last phone I will buy from them will be the Android One ones (A1/A2/A3). I had a fuss-free experience with my A1.

How does Xiaomi FRP works?

Hey there! My friend brought me the Xiaomi Redmi 4A, he got it from his aunt, she wanted to throw it away as she forgot her password to her Mi Account and the phone due to the FRP is unusable. The problem even graduates, because she has it paired with her old old phone number, so no way recovering her password.
So my question is, how does Xiaomi FRP works and how can I bypass it? I never faced this problem, and I'm stuck on this for the fourth day. I'm bypassing Google FRP on almost daily basis, but this one works different way. Here is what I have tried.
I tried to mess with the Mi account using Quick Shortcut, like with the GAM.
Tried using second space functionality and delete the account from there - it's not there.
Flashed a stock ROM using Mi Flash Tool - no luck. Then tried it again, with persist.img flashing enabled. I got into the phone, was able to turn on USB debugging and mess around, but then when I connected it to the Wi-Fi, it became locked again - WHICH MAKES ME THING...
...that when it connects to the internet, the device brings up to the Xiaomi servers and asks for details. So possible solutions I can think of are:
Disabling the Mi services completely before connecting to the Wi-Fi so it will not get locked - I guess
Changing some device numbers (IMEI's, etc.) but I don't know how the device identifies itself with the servers, and how to do it in the first place
Flashing there some custom ROM (preferably Lineage OS) - but this brings the problem that I dunno how I would flash it directly, or how do I flash TWRP first, because I don't have unlocked bootloader (I flashed the stock ROM using EDL mode by shorting those two pins on the motherboard)
Thank you for your help a lot!

If you would have read my question, you would know that I'm asking how does Xiaomi FRP works, not the Google one. This phone is locked with Mi Account. But still, thank you!

Error when trying to login to mi unlock tool

Hello, i wanted to unlock my xiaomi redmi 8's bootloader because i wanna install root on it. I completely understand the risks and im willing to unlock it. I don't care if it takes months for xiaomi to approve my mi account. So, when i tried logging in into mi unlock tool with my mi account, first thing i noticed is that its quite slow. Anyway i entered my details when i was at the account login page, and then a few seconds later the page turned white. At first i thought it was just simply loading however after i checked the logs, i see this message: WARNING: account loading error: -188. Ive done some research why it isnt working. They suggested that i should disable my antivirus and run the tool with administrator priviliges. However that didnt help either. Ive also noticed that after i clicked add account and device in mi unlock state, (i enabled mobile data and turned off wifi) it said my mi account had been added. However when i exit out of mi unlock state and go back it says to add my account again. I dont know if thats intentional or not. If somebody can help me i'd gladly appreciate it.

if youve failed unlocking it, your phone is still safely under guarantee, have no fear (IMHO)
i remembered ~2Y ago when i tried unlocking it i was also sent in a loop. i followed the usual guides and all and was also reverified on my phone and PC again. sometimes the mi server can be buggy, and we had to wait for a bit.
make sure your phones SIM 1 (in the middle) has both SMS and data kuota available, as thats how they verify your device and account. IIRC 1 SMS to their servers, and 1 verification data from network to your phone.

I haven't gotten to unlock my device yet. So far i'm at the logging in into mi unlock tool stage. And also yes, i have all of those things that you mentioned.

yep it looks like youre stumped after waiting a day. for references, which guide are you following? does windows and ADB|fastboot detect your phone and driver?
usually an account is verified after a few days when creating a new xiaomi account, and 1 week after using the phone.
from what i remembered that most guides dont state is that my friend told me to locate my device first via i.mi.com first. after locating the device in normal system mode, follow the usual steps. as i said i too remembered how buggy mi unlock can be. hopefully others can also chime in.
my mi unlock tools an ancient 4.5.514.47, newer versions should be preferred for security|bugfixes, but im just saying i unlocked it with that version in case it might help.

Yes mi unlock tool detects my device in fastboot mode. I'm following a tutorial on youtube.

Good news, i managed to unlock and root my phone! I guess i was just lucky because i tried logging from day to day and i finally got it to work.

Redmi 4x unlock

Hello,
As second phone I've got a Redmi 4X from my father. Phone cames with the China ROM, I would like to upload the Global ROM. In order to do this I've got to unlock the phone.
On Dev options, Mi Unlock Status function, I always stuck on the message "Don't disconnect from the network, sign out of your Mi Account, perform a factory rest, or erase system data. If you've already done any of the above, add your Mi Account again; otherwise, you won't be able to unlock your device."
I've try what the message says, no luck.
I suspect it's something blocked on the Xiaomi servers about this phone. Anyone can fix it?
Thank you!

I've solved putting the phone in EDL mode using the test points on the board.
