Hello,
I cannot find OEM Unlock; I currently have the official Chinese developer ROM from the official MIUI pages "Fastboot".
Redmi Note 3 MTK Latest China Developer Version Fastboot File Download <--- This one
Redmi Note 3 MTK Latest China Stable Version Fastboot File Download
I have tried both versions, but not one seems to display the OEM Unlock option. I was thinking if I haven't installed a wrong ROM, as there were also
Redmi Note 3 Qualcomm Latest China Developer Version Fastboot File Download
Redmi Note 3 Qualcomm Latest China Stable Version Fastboot File Download
Redmi Note 3 Qualcomm Latest Global Developer Version Fastboot File Download
Redmi Note 3 Qualcomm Latest Global Stable Version Fastboot File Download.
I am looking to find OEM unlock so I could install TWRP and flash a custom rom (Basically MIUI 8 in my native language that supports google play etc.) Most likely, my phone is already unlocked, because I can access Fastboot and the web service does not offer me the "Apply for Unlock" option.
So: Should I have installed a different ROM for me to see OEM unlock?
I also saw another method of flashing, again on en miui com, where you first enter the EDL mode, but I cannot do so (I haven't found a guide that works), and using the ADB application during fastboot shows me that no devices are connected.
I am quite desperate about this, as my phone, using the Chinese ROM, cannot do many things it used to do. Please help!
My MIUI version is MIUI 8 6.9.8 Beta - the MTK developer rom.
Enable developer options first, then select that option in settings - additional settings!
Open Settings> About on your Android phone or tablet.
Now scroll to Build number and tap it 7 times.
After tapping the Build Number 7 times, you will see a message “You are now a developer!”

Hello corkiejp, I already have developer options enabled. I cannot post links, so I couldn't show what I see in the dev options menu. I have USB debugging there allright, but no OEM Unlock.

Well, I have flashed it twice through fastboot, so I suppose it should be unlocked from the vendor already.
Thanks; ok then, here go my phone specs: http// imgur dot com/a/dcHO0
And my dev options: http// imgur dot com/a/MpOGg

You have a mediatek version and EDL mode is only available for snapdragon version.
You can not use adb while in fastboot mode. Use: -
Code:
fastboot devices
Check you bootloader status with: -
Code:
fastboot oem device-info

That is some pretty good info. Finally, I managed to move a bit. My device was MTK, so that is why I couldn't get EDL to work.
I tried flashing several Global MIUI 7/8 ROMs for MTK with SP Flash tool, 8.0, 7.5, 7.3 and 6.6, but they all gave me (preloader ticked/unticked) the error: BROM ERROR S_SECURITY_SECURE_USB_DL_IMAGE_SIGN_HEADER_NOT_FOUND (6045) MSP ERROR CODE.
Google revealed nothing. I tried several versions of SP Flash tool and ROMs, but to no avail...
Seriously at the end of my rope here. What do? Thanks.

I have tried flashing some of the MTK ports from this guy. en.miui.com/thread-336480-21-1.html. They all gave me the same error. I will try to search for some MTK Global ports at the xiaomi.eu site, but I'm afraid the result will be the same.

Did you unlock officially the first time, if yes MiUnlock tool should unlock it again for you.
Edit: remember you need to be in fastboot mode for the unlock tool.

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
Hi
I have a redmi note 3 Hennessy device and i attempted to unlock its bootloader using Mi unlock tool. However it is giving me the "Failed at 50% progress" error. I have permission and everything. Now i was wondering, is it mandatory to be on a MIUI developer ROM in order to successfully unlock the bootloader? Can i do it while i am not global stable rom?

i had the same issue, while you read online that u should do so many stages in order for this to work. all you have to do is wait!
just take yourself 10-11 days just to be safe, (mine was unlocked after 8, but i changes from person to person).
also just checking that u do have OEM unlock enabled in your settings, and ofcourse USB debugging, and that u have clockwork adb drivers on your PC.
hope i helped, let us know if it works after a few days
Thanks for your reply. However, I cant seem to find the option OEM unlock anywhere in settings. Where is it located?

You can find both options USB debugging and OEM-Unlock in developer options.
http://xiaomiadvices.com/miui-7-enable-developer-options-and-usb-debugging-on-xiaomi-android-phones/
If you still face the 50% issue after allowing oem unlocking and ADB interface, try uninstalling usb drivers from Device Manager, that helped me everytime.
My Redmi Note 5A Prime came with unlocked bootloader with a fake rom. so I flashed official developer fastboot rom. After that my IMEI broke and bootloader locked. Unable to open diag mode. Unable to add MI Account on the phone. I search the internet but sadly couldn't find anything. what I have found needs unlocked bootloader. Can anyone please help me to unlock the bootloader?
You have to apply here: http://en.miui.com/unlock/ in order to unlock your bootloader (can take a bit to get verified)
In addition add the phone number you apply with to your mi clound & login to your mi account on your phone.
Download the software for windows --> login --> connect your phone via fastboot --> hit unlock.
If it still does not work, please go ahead and flash the latest china developer rom on your phone and try everything again.
Good luck and please tell me if it worked
you can unlock unofficial bootloader with edl mode:

Thanks a lot for this solution ada12, it looks promissing.
I suppose that what they mean on your link by "REBOOT YOUR PHONE TO EDL MODE ( Testpoint )" is that i need to unmount the phone like in this video, right?
I havn't tried the hardware method yet, and when I try to use myflash with what is in RNote5_unlock.zip it says it cannot find the file flash_all.bat. So I tried different things:
- used the bach scripts contained in ugglite_global_images_8.4.12_20180412.0000.00_7.1_global but it fails saying cannot find the file tz.mbn... for sure it's not there
- added what was in the zip to the folder ugglite_global_images_8.4.12_20180412.0000.00_7.1_global but then i get the same error that i have been getting for the past several hours "Flash tz error" in mi flash...
What am I doing wrong?
Today, when I try to access the thread on the miui forum i get this error message :/

I had the same problem - the phone came with a 'fake' global rom installed and it was impossible to bind the phone and account. The way I got around it was to flash the latest Chinese stable rom (it isn't possible to flash the global rom while the bootloader is locked) onto the phone and then I was able to bind the phone and account. Once I got to this stage I was then able to request unlock permission which now takes 360 hours (15 days). Once the 15 days have elapsed the bootloader can be unlocked and you are then free to install the latest global rom.
To fix IMEI problem:
1.) Reboot to fastboot mode
2.) Run command: fastboot erase modemst1
3.) Run command: fastboot erase modemst2
4.) IMEI fixed!
For bootloader unlock,if you cant add Mi account to your phone,it is problem,becouse you have to submit phone to unlock request (via developer mode).
Try this: Go to Developer settings,check "Allow OEM unlock" option and then try add MiAccount via next option "Mi unlock status"

I agree with everything here, good job. Just want to add something to "unlock bootloader": if you recieve some error "it can't be added", download a VPN with the location in china. There is one app (at least) where you can create an fake account (e.g. 10 minute mail) and have 1 day of premium. Point it onto china and try to add your mi account again, that should do the trick.
Good luck and have fun ^^ ask if you have some problems!

The answer is: NANOMACHINES, SON!
Just kidding, you have to point onto the root folder, if the system can't find the "flash.bat" you might be one folder too deep. If you get an error message during flashing then you might have a problem in terms of compatibility.
I still don't know yet, what the NSF means by mentioning the computer system with the "blue face for an interface" as an solution to xiaomis bootloader incompatibility issue. It seems suspicious, that some valuable forum posts have gone missing... wondering what the NSF is up to.

As far as using mobile data, MI account already recognized my device & successfully passed the "Add account and device"
During unlocking, I made sure to open a hotspot from the phone # which is registered with the MI account.
*edit: it's a Wifi only Pad.. so.. though I do have a choice of Wifi or hotspot during the unlocking process
I have also tried the exact unlocking method from technobuzz link you have provided. Thank you for sharing.

I was ecstatic!!! when i first saw the pic
I've got this.. pic with an unlock. Does it mean bootloader is unlocked?
if i choose the second option and enter WiFi information, then choose the first option, it boots as though factory reset has been done (goes through the initial setup) BUT all the data is there. and status shows it's STILL LOCKED.
Now the 2nd time, i let the locked icon stay and boot into fastboot and try installing TWRP, it failed :-(
this is the error i get:
fastboot flash recovery twrp1.img
Sending 'recovery' (33812 KB) OKAY [ 0.842s]
Writing 'recovery' FAILED (remote: 'No support by lock control')
fastboot: error: Command failed

upon connecting the cable to the device (in a fastboot mode) the Unlock tool does NOT see it as being attached eventhough the bootloader drivers are there and shows that device is connected. when i type "fastboot devices" my device shows up as well
*the global Mi Unlock tool takes me to the account info (where i can change password/email/other details
i've tried various versions of MI Unlock tool.. (including batch unlock ones) all give the same result. Just like to add.. i have successfully unlocked Mi Note 7 using the Mi Unlock tool (at the time I didnt have to wait eventhough there was supposedly a 7 day wait)

Have you enabled USB debugging?
Are you using a usb 2 port?
Is the Mi pad usb port 2 or 3?
The Mi Unlock folder must be at the root of the hard drive.
Try running Mi Unlock as administrator.
EDIT:
ANOTHER TOOL

Im so happy, NOSS8! Thank you ever so much!
moving the folder to C:\ must have done the trick AND running it as admin.
there's a 120hr wait then what recovery do i install when there are no officially supported ROMs either

Glad it worked but if there is no recovery or rom for this model, why unlock the bootloader?
You can install a stock Global or other rom but without locking the bootloader and rooting to have a certified play store.
