Nah, you need a computer to unlock bootloader. Download mi unlock tool and that'll explain you everything.
Here is a complete tutorial for unlock bootloader for Redmi Note 4X: http://en.miui.com/thread-565784-1-1.html
I cannot unlock my bootloader for some reason now. I had applied for permission around a year and a half back, I got the permissions, unlocked the bootloader and flashed a lot of ROMS. When I flashed MIUI through fastboot, the bootloader got locked again. Now I want to try some ROMS, but I cannot unlock the bootloader. It goes all the way till 99 percentage and it then gives the message 'Current Account cannot unlock this device'. I have permissions and everything because when I go to the mi unlock site I'm directed to the download page, not to the application page. Also, when I try to bind the account to my phone in Mi Unlock status in developer options, it keeps saying 'Couldnt Verify, wait a minute or two and try again'. I've waited for a day and it still doesn't work. I only have one sim card in my phone(the one which I used to get permission) but still it keeps saying the same message again and again.
Please help!
Regards.
Hello. Though I never had the problem (was on NOS rom before I messed something and had to flash miui rom via fastboot and relocked bl, I easily reunlock again using official method like the first time).
Before unlocking, make sure your phone are locked by using cmd "fastboot oem device info" or something like that I forgot. And your phone developer option have allow oem unlocking ticked on. Make sure your phone mi account logged in and of course matched with the one on your pc/laptop. Have good usb cable, drivers, and stable internet. Also you can try unlocking using another version of miui rom (the one you used for the first unlocking).
Don't know if those helps though.
I had the same problem for almost 2 months, asked on the miui forum and nobody helped so i just unlocked it unofficially, works great! On RR N now!
Same
I have the same problem, and also I know a lot of people with it. It seems that xiaomi has banned the unlock tool I don't know why...

Yeah its not an issue with all devices, I do have colleagues who have managed to unlock it officially, but still its a problem for a lot of people.
I have the exact same problem. Stuck at 99 when trying to re unlock, on both miui 8 and 9. I didnt bother trying to unlock with developer roms, just used the method to flash twrp without bl unlock. All good now on nos 8.
I'm happy with flash twrp only without unlocking bootloader since I got root access anyway
Why are you people trying to unlock bootloader when it's not even necessary on our phone? Just look on the forums a little bit more and you won't struggle anymore trying to unlock.

by the way, can I flash custom ROM with my current twrp ?
I mean, I do have twrp installed without unlocking bootloader.

Hi , just manage to add account and device without errors on mi note 3 by using SoloVpn app from playstore set to China .
Now i am waiting 72 hour's to proceed unlocking.
Apparently the error on add account and device starting with 80xxx and some Chinese text it's blocking the unlocking tool.

Hi. I bought my redmi note 4 sd from someone and the bootloader already unlocked when i received it..my question is, if i accidently formatted my phone using mi flash tool and accidently clicked the clean and lock option, do i need to request the bootloader unlock code again? Or will i be able to unlock it again?

I don't think you need to raise unlock request.Need to enable developer option and allow OEM unlocking.
fastboot oem unlock is sufficient for unlocking after lock by Mistool..
But, it would always configure your mi id for the device before starting.....

Nope, most of the time it isn't going to relock the bootloader. (98% of the time it won't)
I raise request unlock bootloader last night and today morning i received sms from miui to unlock the bootloader and follow thebinstruction. i guess its not wrong trying ? once again to unlock bootloader..since previous owner already request to unlock bootloader! Maybe thats the reason i receive the unlock sms not even 1day because its already requested in the past..
In my previous device (kenzo) i have unlocked my bootloader . Now in my new device (pocof1) whenever i go to unlock page it directly takes me to download page for downloading mi unlock tool , skipping the apply page.
When i try to unlock bootloader it says I don't have permission . What should i do? Thanks in advance ?

You don't need permission like in old days just download mi unlock tool and wait for unlocking.
Ha ha, I too faced the same issue and I'm also from Kenzo. What I did was delete Kenzo, apply fresh for Beryllium and you'll get yours unlocked in three days.
I'm trying to unlock the boot loader of my RN3.
I have done it before and relocked it again, now i am not able to unlock it again
at first when i tried fastboot oem unlock-go it said oem unlock not allowed, i had enabled oem unlock and usb debugging from dev options but some how whenever i completed the flashing process it showed me this error again.
I tired the official unlock method and it gives error at 99% - "could not unlock".
now after trying it on different miui versions it is showing an error like this after fastboot oem unlock-go :
token verification invalid or something.
please help me, this is just bugging me!
EDIT:- I managed to unlock it, i flashed miui 7.2.5.0 and did the process again and it worked.
Thanks for your suggestion , probably we have the same problem .. flashing a miui 7 seems to be the only way for official unlock to a lot of KATE users .
Maybe one day that i'll change device i'll use this method too .. right now the RN3se is my only device .

Official unlock has advantage. Ur device receives official unlock key.
If ur device is official unlock. And if u r on custom rom then u can even flash latest firmware 45mb zip file which totally updates ur phone including bootloader.
U need latest miui bootloader to boot oreo or pie custom roms. If u have lollipop bootloader then u cant boot latest custom roms.
Bind ur account in developer option and keep micloud sync on both wifi and data.
Wait for 72 hours.
If u cant unlock on ur pc then use diffrent pc. But unlock it on latest miui 8.9.20 global beta.
Even u can use linux Os. They say linux pc has better chance to unlock officially then windows pc. So if u have linux installed on pc then good.
There is miunlock tool available for linux.

Dont keep on changing rom. Ur device info should sync with xiaomi server. Ur rom version should match with xiaomi server. Keep mi cloud sync on.if everything matches then server sends unlock key to phone.
Make sure u dont have antivirus disabled on pc or on phone while unlocking.
