Hello all,
I have just received my International (kate - 152mm version) Redmi Note 3.
One of the first things I wanted to do was to root it, so I can remove some of the spyware.
I got the authorization code from Mi, but when I use the unlocker app, it always stops at 50%.
So I did a lot of research, and I realized that first I need to flash a developer rom - then I can unlock.
So: the question is - which version of the developer rom should I use?
Thank you for any pointers.
official unlock worked for me with last 6.10.13 global dev. i turned find my device first, then added my MI account in developer options->unlock status, and it worked flawlesly. eagerly waiting for official twrp
It is not possible to unlock bootloader on Kate model.
Even with the authorization form Xiaomi.

Kenzo rom are compatible with kate device.
Officiel unlock seems to be OK with the last 6.10.13 global dev
You don't need to officially unlock.
There is a tutorial here on XDA how to load twrp on locked bootloader and flash cm13 from it.
I'm using it right now without any issues.

Hi, I tried to unlock the bootloader of my RN4 (running MiUi 8.0.4 Global Stable), I got official permission and all that, but then something went wrong and my phone got into bootloop. I downloaded the fastboot ROM and tried to flash it via XiaoMiFlash but it says couldn't find the flash_all.
What can I do now? Help please
Hi, did you flash the China Development Rom before unlocking?
en.miui.com/forum.php?forumlist=1&mobile=2
I'm pretty sure that is a prerequisite? Someone please correct me if I'm wrong here.
Do a search for bootloader unlock bootloop over at MIUI here & see what you can find.
en.miui.com/forum.php?forumlist=1&mobile=2
sorry, my mistake, the error was couldn't find flash_all_except_storage.bat
but when I looked into the folder where I extracted the ROM, I saw there was no flash_all_except_storage.bat file. There was flash_all_except_data_storage.bat, so I renamed it to flash_all_except_storage.bat and the corresponding .sh file as well. And the flashing process worked this time...

I saw people talking in the MiUi forum that the unlocking process works in Global Stable as well, but most people prefer the developer version. So I gave it a shot, and well, failed
So you still haven't unlocked?

I think you need to be on the China dev/beta rom as Wilderone advises, that's how I did it and it worked without a problem. Use the SP flash tool,seems scary but pretty straight forward and you just need to to read and follow the instructions.

Nope, haven't unlocked yet... Any link/walkthrough is appreciated, anybody?
And I still can't find the OEM unlock button. I downloaded the rom from official forum, so it's not vendor customized. Shouldn't the OEM unlock button be under the developer options menu?

If the OEM unlock button doesn't show,its probably because your on a vendor rom. You need to download the fastboot rom to flash with and follow the instructions at the link below.

Sorry for being stupid again, but I'm pretty sure I flashed the fastboot ROM from the official forum, still no OEM unlock button.
Also, I couldn't find any china/Global Developer ROM for RN4, can you give me any link please?

Sorry not sure if my link worked,i tried to link directly to the correct file. If you go to the link below and download latest China developer fastboot file, look for the Redmi note 4. This is the file you need to use with SP flash tool. When booting up the rom for the first time, you need to log in using your mi account, you should then be able to go to developer settings and look for mi lock option where you can switch it on to allow bootloader unlock.

First off I'm no dev
There are no unofficial methods available to unlock bootloader on redmi-note-4, you should wait few more days, and try again with the latest mi unlock tool. You'll get your phone unlocked.
BTW, choose find my device then let it locate your phone, reboot your device few times then try unlocking.

You can make a DIY Engineering Cable (Google it) or order one online to flash directly. That's probably the only method of doing anything to Redmi Note 4.
As for the official unlock method, ****in' read the forums, there are hundreds of threads. Just wait a few days after getting confirmation SMS and voila, phone unlocked. You can also use a chinese VPN for instant unlock

Did you wait 71 hours after binding your account with the unlock option in phone? If not, please do and try again later.

I assumed it was the 50% account validation error and posted the solutions (wait few days or use chinese VPN).. But he wanted to know about unofficial methods, so I addressed that as well. :/

Just download Fly VPN from play store, then open it, choose china > Shanghai [the first one], tap connect, once it gets connected, open settings > more settings > dev option > mi unlock status > choose add an acc. That's it.
Ignore whatever the error you'll see while doing that.
tried flyvpn, do i really have to wait 70 hours just to unlock? wtf xiaomi...
so the only way to flash a custom rom right now is to go for the risky edl mode?
thanks btw

70 hours is less than 3 days. You are getting the unlock before most of us who didn't know the VPN trick back then. It took us 5-7 days after the confirmation sms to get the unlock done. And some people were getting the error even after 10 days or more.
I had the same problem with the 72h wait. I just used an older version of the unlocker software from mi and it worked without waiting!! You can find it in this Post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...p-step-guide-to-flash-android-n-beta-t3551221.

I recently got a redmi note 4x and it seems like i was sold a bricked phone :/
When i try to unlock the bootloader it gives me a "current account is not bound to this account."
With that being said, i have contacted the seller and they told me to perform a wide data process with a chinese miui pc suite. I have tried to do that but as soon as i begin the process, it cancels by itself. I am hoping someone can shed some light to this.

Eh, what do you mean?
Your device isn't even booting? Or you were just assuming that by the error ''current account isn't bound to this account''?
Everyone in here, who've unlocked their bootloader have faced those errors / issues. Heck even 99% stuck error lol
Give Xiaomi servers time to sync your device details, eventually you'll get your phone unlocked.
Wait wait! It's the key lol

Well is your device Mi Max?? No. So all you can do is wait for someone to crack it, which is highly unlikely. It's not that easy stuff. When the pro devs get time and enough info they will surely do it.
And as far as the official unlock process through the MiUnlock software goes please wait for at least 5 days before trying to unlock again after a failed attempt. It sounds weird but it really is the solution most of the times. Just wait don't even try doing anything for 5 days and on the 6th day when you try you will most likely succeed. Try it. Remember, 5 days.:laugh::fingers-crossed:

I didn't mean any offence. Sure, your free to ask anything here. BTW do try waiting for some days before trying to unlock and also turn on Mi Sync for everything. Check MIUI forum on how to succeed in unlocking bootloader there are lot more tips and tricks regarding that topic there than here on XDA.
Peace.
