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.

Hello.
I just got my phone. I've imported the phone from China, so it's running Chinese ROM.
ROM is: MIUI V7.2,2.20.LHOCNDA
Now there is no Play Store.. I had Nexuses, OnePlus, M8, S6 edge.. And many other Android phones. I've rooted all of them. I am familiar with ADB, I know how to unlock bootloader on Nexus, OnePlus..
I've read trough the Redmi Note 3 PRO forum, and I see there can be problems with unofficial unlock. So I just applied for the official Unlock...
So can I flash the Global ROM with locked bootloader? If yes, how?
Can I root the Global ROM after the flash? If yes, how?
Can I unlock the bootloader on Global ROM?
What is the difference with Global ROM and dev. ROM?
Is there any reliable unlock method besides the official one? I am getting confused reading all of the way's to do it.
Any answerer will be appreciated :good:

But I can't flash global developer rom via updater app.
By the way, I see this from another forum, "You have to wait for a week after you received the message about you have the permission to unlock your device."
And also, your Miaccount's device must be registered as Redmi Note 3 Pro, if not ,you have to change that to Redmi Note 3.
i tried on Global Developer Rom but It stuck at 50 % ..... HELP..!!
Hi, there. If you want to flash global developer rom, you must download the zip.(the rom you want to flash/update via updater app) via system's browser, also, flash to global developer rom will wipe your data.
I tried it myself and it really works!
[Edit]
Download the latest rom , or this method can’t fix your problem.[emoji4]

i also did not got a message from them but when i used mi unlock tool it unlocked my phone.so you should try mi unlock tool and see if the unlock code was already sent to you but could not receive due to some reasons like me.
I got some problems to unlock my Redmi 3 Pro too, I was on Global Stable and was unable to unlock my phone.
I downloaded the developer ROM from MiUI site, updated manually via Updater app, and i successfully unlock my phone.

If you flash this ROM using edl mode and miflash tool ManhIT_ido_xhdpi_SpaceX 6.7.7 from https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24572369242688234
It it for locked bootloaders but is rooted and has twrp recovery installed. You can then flash other ROMs that usually require an unlocked bootloader. I've changed from the spaceX ROM to the latest weekly thunder ROM and over the weekend to the CM13 ROM by Anik_Khan.

Hi, maybe you can give me some guidance, here.
I'm willing to try the CM 13 in a redmi 3 pro. Have you download it the China Developer Rom?
Try flashing the latest developer ROM with miflash, and then unlock your bootloader

I did as you said but I couldn't boot into the spaceX rom. I booted in recovery and installed another ROM, but now I'm stuck with the MI logo and the phone restarts itself continously. any suggestions?

2. How long am i allowed to unlock my phone with the permission?
Thanks in advance:good:

1. You need a developer ROM version for unlocking the bootloader officially.
2. According to Mi Unlock Policy, you can use the permission for one month before it runs invalid. If it runs invalid, you need to re-apply for the permission, then unlock the bootloader.

I've applied for unlocking months ago and i can unlock the bl anytime i want just be careful that it requires a sms verification code when changing computers, so keep your phone working while you do that, or Mi Flash won't work.
Afaik, it doesn't require any special things for unlocking the bl, it will work no matter what you have installed on it, goos luck unlocking.

Guys, it has been said many times...
Only for the first time unlocking you might need to flash china/global dev to unlock it via fastboot.
To do that, simply boot in fastboot, boot in EDL, flash with MiFlash latest china dev fastboot ROM, flash zcx TWRP and then you can flash whatever you want, if BL gets locked anytime again while flashing (phone will blink and turn off), just boot in fastboot (only thing you can do at that point), run MiFlashUnlock, sign in, unlock, reboot)
Thats it, couldnt be more simple

Its not complicated, it may only sound like it is, but its not
Just use official guide to flash through EDL, you cant possibly screw anything on snapdragon devices

No, you do not need developer rom afaik to unlock the bootloader, probably he just meant that you have to enable usb debugging from developer settings, that's a must.
---------- Post added at 09:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:15 PM ----------
Just try unlocking it with mi flash and see if anythinf goes wrong thru the process, you simply cannot screw the device with anything by doing that, if anything goes wrong and you can't unlock the device post it here so we can help you forward with the process, good luck.

Guys, does all this applies the same to the "Kate" Version ? Basically just as a reference also i have a Redmi note 3 pro Special edition (international/global), running android v6.0.1 MMB29M, Security Patch 2016-11-01, MIUI Global 8.1 Stable 8.1.1.0 (MHRMIDI).....any advice please !
This applies to any xiaomi phone ;
By permission i understand unlocking approval, yes, go to xiaomi unlock and apply for unlocking and when you get the rights to unlock ( i hadn't recieved any kind of email, i just checked by practice ) go and do it.
Hey guys, I was looking to unofficially unlock my BL. I decided to follow this thread : http://en.miui.com/thread-345728-1-1.html . But in this thread he says that I need a marshmallow fastboot rom installed on my phone before I start the procedure. I'm currently running the MM 7.1.5 beta rom. How do I get the MM Fastboot rom? and how do i install it? Can someone walk me through? TIA
EDIT: I'm using a Redmi note 3 pro (snapdragon) (KATE)

Don't answer if u don't know anything about question...
Fastboot rom is same rom as recovery rom or update. It is said fastboot rom because it can be flashed via fastboot / edl method.
@2000ftt since u r already on mm rom then u can continue to unlock bootloader unofficially but in case please already download fastboot rom so that if in emergency u can flash that easily through pc on ur mi phone.
Also unofficial unlock have some drawbacks please be sure to know them all.. I am too researching on unofficial unlock as my device is not getting unlocked. I hate miui rom.

Sorry bro, I apologize if u feel disrespected, my intention were pure.
I got my bootloader relocked, by this fastboot rom and now it is unable to unlock so I have researched thoroughly on all sites. May be it was anger towards miui that harsh words came out.
Also please advice, should I unlock unofficially..??
