Hello all... has anyone managed to unlock kate device with official method? i am trying and gets stuck at 50%....
if yes how?
Few days ago search something about 50% bug and it`s seems that till today nobody unlock Kate with official way. Yet here is probably only unofficial method http://en.miui.com/thread-345728-1-1.html Or you can wait till Xiaomi remove this bug.

Hello, I unlocked my kate version the official way. First I unlocked it using unofficial method, but I got the permission to unlock the bootloader. I flashed the "Global Developer" fastboot rom using MIFlash, which locked my bootloader. Then, I rebooted my device into fastboot mode and unlocked it using the MiFlash Unlock tool.

Did you setup Mi account on the device after ROM flashed or just restarted to Fastboot after cleanboot?

Yes, I did setup MI account(the one on which I requested the permission) and synced it once before booting the device into the fastboot mode. Make sure to enable OEM unlock and USB debugging before fastboot.

did u also associate the xiaomi id with the phone under Mi unlock status in dev options?
It is another step which is failing on my device. It says it can't verify the device and ask me to retry after 1 or 2 minutes, forever.

I did not. Just logged in the MI account while setting up the rom on first boot.
I just tried official way to unlock my kate with global developer rom last night and I was very happy that it worked on first attempt.
Guys I have been trying to unlock the bootloader to install lineage os on my Xiaomi Redmi Note 4. But when I open the Mi Unlock Tool it doesnt recognize the phone in fastboot mode and the I cant press the unlock button. I have tried every precaution and step there is
1) I tried it even by installing developer rom
2)Installed every xiaomi driver and adb drivers. The device shows up when I do the fastboot devices command in platform tools but is not recognized in the unlock tool
3)enabled usb debugging, oem unlocking and linked my mi account to device.
4) Applied for permission and got the approval because i reach the unlock button in the unlock tool even though i didnt get a sms from them saying that i got the permission
5)tried it with another xiaomi phone (Redmi 3s) with all of the above steps nad another laptop still couldnt press the unlock button
6) The only time I was the unlock tool recognized my phone in fastboot and allowed me to press the unlock button was when I installed an older version of The MI Unlock Tool. Even then it got stuck at 50% saying " Couldnt verify device need to update the unlock tool from mi.com/unlock.
Please help me I am really tired of MIUI and its bugs. I have spent hours trying to solve the problem and I simply cant find a solution
Thanks in Advance
There r 3 dots at the top of mi unlock tool press that and there is something called drivers click thst it will scan and if not installed just press thr button it will be installed
I wanted to revert back to miui 10 , so i flashed the fastboot rom via miflash tool. But it locked my bootloader. Now when i try to unlock the bootloader again from the same mi account on my redmi note 4. I get this error in chinese which roughly translates to “ UNABLE TO UNLOCK WHEN THE PHONE IS NOT USED FOR SPECIFIED TIME”
Like how much time i have to wait? I have unlock permissions and have unlocked my phone a momth ago.
Hi, can I unlock the bootloader using "fastboot unlock bootloader" command or the QPST flash tool instead of waiting 3 days and use mi tool?
how to unlock bootloader?
Need add Mi account on device, download mi unlock, enter your mi account in it.
Reboot phone to fastboot mode, connect phone to PC and send unlock request. After it you need wait 15 days to allow unlock.
