Connect your phone to the computer and run "adb reboot edl" in the command line, then flash the latest China Developer ROM using Miflash.
Login into Mi account on your new ROM and try to unlock the bootloader with MiUnlockTool.

Hi guys,
yesterday I received my Note 3 Pro Kenzo (SD) from Gearbest.
There was an old MIUI-version installed that wasn't really localized to German (maybe a shop-ROM), so I decided to install an up-to-date version of MIUI.
I downloaded the "Redmi Note 3 Qualcomm Latest Global Stable Version Fastboot File Download" from here, which seems to be V8.0.1.0.LHOMIDG (MIUI8), put my phone in fastboot mode (in EDL-mode it didn't work, MiFlash didn't find my phone) and installed the ROM with MiFlash. Everything is working now, localization is perfect and the phone runs smooth.
The only strange thing is, that I haven't been able to unlock the bootloader officially yet, wether with the "old" ROM-version nor with the latest Global Stable MIUI8.
On MIUI7 the unlock-tool said, I don't need an unlock(?), on MIUI8 it says my phone is not permitted (or something similiar), even if I have the confirmation-SMS from Xiaomi (that was on August 19th) and I'm logged in into my Mi-account on the phone and in the unlock-tool.
Am I doing something wrong? Here it's said that it should be possible to unlock using the offical way with my new ROM.
Or do I have to be on another ROM to unlock my bootloader?
Background is that I want to try out different ROMs, so I need to install TWRP first - and I absolutely need root-access!
Can I flash TWRP over adb without unlocking?
Any help from you is really much appreciated.
Thanks a lot and best regards
Mischa
You need unlocked bootloader to flash TWRP to the device
Did you follow the steps here?

Thanks for the link, this looks really useful!
Is it right that I can stay on my Global Stable (Fastboot) ROM? Or do I have to flash the Global Beta Recovery ROM?
Guys, I need some help!
My phone is only found from MiFlash when it's in Fastboot-mode. When I put it in EDL-mode MiFlash can't find it.
EDIT: BTW, I just found this in my MiFlash-log:
Code:
[23:16:02]:install driver C:\Program Files (x86)\MiFlash\Source\ThirdParty\Google\Driver\android_winusb.inf to ,result False,GetLastWin32Error Unknown error (0xe000024b)
What does it mean? My phone is found with "adb devices" and the adb-drivers seems to be okay
The "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008"-driver is installed and shown in the device manager when I executed "adb reboot edl".
My phone seems to be in EDL-mode with black screen and blinking red LED.
Right now I'm running Global Stable (Fastboot) V8.0.1.0.
I had to install this ROM also when I was in Fastboot-mode, cause only then MiFlash found my phone (same problem), not in EDL-mode.
Do you have any idea what went wrong?
Worst thing is that I can't flash any ROM using this way anymore, cause MiFlash now says "phone is locked" when I try to flash anything in fastboot mode. Also recovery ROMs are not usable with updater-app (maybe because my bootloader is still locked).
So, seems like I'm caught: I can't unlock my bootloader, I can't flash any other ROM, I can't root and can't install TWRP - I'm stuck on Global Stable V8.0.1.0
I really appreciate any help from you!
Best regards and thanks a lot
Mischa
EDIT: SUCCESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It finally worked
What I did? I used MiFlash V2016.04.01 (instead of the lastest version from August 30th), which I got from here: http://xiaomitips.com/download-in-progress/?dlm-dp-dl=1474 (I hope it's allowed to post links here, otherwise PM me for downloading it from my Google Drive).
After I installed it, it re-installed the Qualcomm-drivers - and with this version I was finally able to see my phone in EDL-mode.
I also found out that only with this version you could set the advanced settings in MiFlash, cause in the newest version this option is not available anymore.
BTW, after every attemp to unlock the bootloader officially failed, I now unlocked it successfully using the unofficial way.
Best regards
Mischa

You need to flash Chinese developer version to unlock bootloader. Flash with sp_flash_tool
SOLVED :I updated to latest Chinese Rom, then I have sign up in my account and i got unlock!!!!!

This is interesting. I have the global ROM and get the same message after 50%. . . couldn't verify. . . when trying to unlock the bootloader. What would you suggest for me. . . get the Global Developer ROM?
The Xiaomi solution is: if it doesn't work the first time, wait a week, then it will!
@doktorspin, here what I've done:
1)My phone asks me to make an update to the latest version, so I did
2)Then I signed up in MI account in the phone [settings =>account =>mi account]
3)boot on fastboot, opened mi flash, and then it works over 50%, and didn't give me any more the error '' couldnt verify device.... "
So it works for me, but I don't know if I only was Lucky
Your O.P. indicates you have the Chinese stable ROM and Peshkoff recommended that you flash the Chinese developer ROM to fix the "couldn't verify device" problem. I wondered if he'd recommend the Global developer ROM for someone with the same "couldn't verify device" problem but with the Global stable ROM.

Because xiaomi phones are locked, if you wanna unlock them you must do a procedure, after it you must wait an SMS from xiaomi that allows you to unlock bootloader with mi flash

That's not an explanation: it's a rehearsal of Xiaomi policy. Locking the bootloader is definitely not modification friendly.
And I have the SMS. It is useless when the Xiaomi servers are incapable of verifying my data in order to unlock the bootloader. There is no explanation. Locking the bootloader with a hopeless system to unlock it is needless stupidity.
@doktorspin this xiaomi service sucks. They should not unlock bootloader so there were no problems.

No, there are sufficient problems either way.
I want to control my fonts, not use the rubbish someone else packages. I want to monitor my Wi-fi and internet, not live in the hope that Xiaomi is able to protect the phone. I want to be able to change the look and feel of my phone. I want to use CyanogenMod as the operating system: Xiaomi will continue to fiddle with a closed system and won't be able to provide longterm updates.
I set the phone in fastboot and I log in in Miui. Com, the procedure arrives until 50%,then I have this message of error :" Current account is different from the account info on the device."
I have MIUI Global 8.0 Stabil 8.0.4.0( MBFMIDG)
Please help.

There could be a couple of things wrong, are you not following the procedure correctly? You must flash the China Dev fastboot rom to unlock your bootloader. Once you do that you need to log in on the phone to the mi account that you requested the unlock permission for. You need to switch the OEM unlock option on under developer settings and then log into your mi account (has to be the same as on your phone) on the Xiaomi unlocker tool on your PC.
couldn"t verify
Hooray! I managed to unlock the bootloader after 10 days.
SOLVED: I updated to latest Chinese Rom
I solved the problem by following the instructions from this forum here : http://en.miui.com/thread-257729-1-1.html
In fact, my MI MIX was already unlocked for some reasons but I would not know if I did not check. I was getting the same error "Couldn't verify device" stuck at 50%.

Is there any way to switch to china developer rom from Global Dev 7.2.23? Updater won't let me. Or is there a specific chinese rom version that is allowed to flash via updater? Thanks!
Please kindly refer to the thread and read the details steps and instructions because it seems like everyone is trying to hit the unlock procedure without knowing that the stable(global) version of the ROM is not apt for the official or any unofficial unlock procedure !
PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE DISABLED DRIVER SIGNATURE VERIFICATION IN YOUR SYSTEM.
Unlocking Bootloader Procedure:
1. Download zip file (recovery file) of OFFICIAL MIUI China developer ROM for your device :
http://bigota.d.miui.com/6.12.8/miui_HM3SGlobal_6.12.8_b00ffce744_6.0.zip
Please don't get confused with the link as it's indeed a Developer ROM by 'global' in between the link and not the Global stable ROM, you can check it yourself.
Other ROM would not work. Then put it into phone storage. Go to Updater app, press the three dot on upper right corner, and select 'Choose update package'. Choose the zip file you just put in phone storage. The update will wipe all user data, please make backup beforehand.
2. Log into the Mi account which has acquired unlocking permission on your device. Make sure it's the same with the account you sent your request. It's recommended to connect to the Internet for Mi account to sync
3. Turn off your device, press the Power button and Volume - button at the same time to enter bootloader mode
4. Log into the unlocking tool on PC with the same Mi account. Connect the device with the PC using USB cable
5. Press 'Unlock'. The unlocking process will complete in about 10 seconds
For those who already bricked your devices you may using Mi PC SUITE to reflash your device.You are advised to download it to install necessary files (ADB and so on) .
Hi... as far as i know.. you need to be on the same rom from which you have applied for bootloader unlock..
i bought new redmi 3s last week.. and same day applied for unlock... and when going through different threads.. lot of people saying that we need to be in developer rom or Chinese rom to unlock boot loader..so i downloaded global developer and installed it..
with in 2 days i got confirmation from xiaomi that i have permission for unlock.. to my bad.. every time i tried to unlock boot loader its stuck at 50% with current device information is different error..
so finally decided to downgrade to the same version from which i applied for unlocking.. so tried Deep flash cable method to put phone in qualcom loader to bypass bootloader... and installed same global stable version.. after successfully installing stable version tried unlocking.. and voila... bootloader unlocked with in 10 Seconds...without any hitch...
So if you want to unlock bootloader... wait for atleast 7 days after you get confirmation message from xiaomi...

Yes, glad someone else noticed it too. Yes I had trouble for a lot of days with developer ROM after getting permission a week back but no luck.
PS: Disabling Driver Signature Verification is paramount in this process.

Hi,
In most cases you just need to wait a bit for the Xiaomi servers to sync up.
But, It could be your device is not being detected properly & in this case try installing the PDAnet drivers:
http://pdanet.co/bin/PdaNetA4197.exe
Install*PDAnet drivers on your PC, and follow the installation process. Even if your PC says you have ADB drivers installed, go ahead and install these. DO NOT SKIP USB INSTALL, otherwise drivers will be installed just for bluetooth, which is not*what you want. Select "other" when asked about the make of the phone.
Reboot your PC then try to unlock again.
Let me know if this works for you.

Hi, I have a redmi note 5 MEE7S. It actualy is buggy running MIUI V9.5.19.0.OEIMIFA stable global. I am able to connect to the phone ADB, fastboot and EDL.
Problem is : MIUI tells me that bootloader is unlocked but fastboot and all the MI utilities tell me that the bootloader is locked. Therefor I can't go trough the bootloader unlock process from Xiaomi as for MIUI it is already unlocked ! So I'm stuck....
I can't upgrade the phone to any official ROM by selecting manualy the package, I get the message : "can't verify update. Current version is illegal, only allowed to flash stable version".
The upgrade package I tried is a stable version ...
Any help would be nice.
Thanks
