Hello I am from india and using redmi note 3 snapdragon with Miui global stable 8.1.1.0 [MHOMIDI] .
I got messege from mi that my account is verified now.
Overall...I did all things...to unlock my device officially.
But stuck on 50% ...could not verify device.
I did all things mentioned on each place of internet.
But failed .
1. Now I want to know clearly ...is it possible to unlock my device with global stable rom or not?
Because I do not want to loss my data again...
2. if its not possible to unlock global stable rom...then pls provide me compatible link for developer rom for my device in india ?
3. is it possible to switch from global stable to developer stable without losing any of my data and installed app?
Pls give me clear answers.
You can unlock on global stable rom. But you need to wait for few days (usually 4-5 days) before trying to unlock (applicable for developer rom as well). I was also in a similar situation. I flashed global developer rom, waited for 4 days and then it unlocked successfully.
And regarding flashing developer rom, you can flash the developer rom recovery zip from the updater app. Your internal storage will not be erased, but your apps and their data will be deleted. You can easily restore them if you create a backup from the MIUI backup app.

It doesn't matter whether you are on stable or beta rom. You get that "couldn't verify device" error because your mi account details have not been refreshed in xiaomi's servers.
Well, regarding wait time, it may vary. Once you give an unsuccessful unlock attempt, wait for 3-4 days before giving another try.
Unlocked today.
Now I can confirm....that bootloader unlock is possible on Global Stable Rom.
We don't need to go through developer beta Rom.
I had unlocked bootloader today on My Global Stable Rom indian variant.
Now What is the main key point to avoid stuck at 50%(could not verify device)...Read this.
1. Apply for bootloader unlock permission....with the same number which you are using in your phone Miui account.
2. Wait some days until you don't receive sms....after receiving confirmation sms...you again need to wait for 11 days.
3. After 11 days ...download unlock tool from Miui and adb driver.
4. Install adb driver....and check your device is showing in device manager on PC.
5. Now in your phone you must log into same account which you verified.
Also one more very important thing is that You must inserted that same sim card in slot 1 ...for which you verified.
if you used another sim card ...while log into same account...but still you will never able to unlock.
So must use same sim card.
6. Also must check mi cloud and log into there and verify your account there.
7. Now run mi unlock tool in pc as admin and log into same account.
8. Enable usb debugging and unlock options in your phone. And shut down.
9. Boot into fastboot mode and connect...unlock...will work successfully.
10. You don't need to remove your fingerprint or patterns before unlock...as I read on various place...it's not required.
Also no any data loss...after unlock it will auto boot...and your all data and will intact...
I was also getting couldn't verify device error. But after few days I was able to unlock it officially via mi unlock tool on 8.1.1.0 MM Stable rom. I am using ZCX TWRP Recovery and inbuilt root.

What do you mean by "global beta"? Global DEV ROM?
Can you please share what version did you use when successfully unlocked?
Unlocking working on Global Stable Rom too....
As I unlocked....
So it's not necessary to flash developer(beta) Rom.

I have bought my kenzo from gearbest and now I can't even update using the updater app because when I try to install the global stable rom it says "Can't verify update"!!!
What shuold I do now?
I noticed that if I press volume down and powerbutton it goes into fastboot mode... but I don't know if my device is locked or not... please help me!
What rom is reported in settings - about phone - MIUI version.
See the reddit xiaomi wiki on how to flash official roms with locked bootloader using "Mi PC Suite" or "EDL / Download Mode".
It says: MIUI 7.4 stable 7.4.9.0 (LHOCNDD)
I had the same issue like you but I bought mine from aliexpress. Anyway what worked for me is applying for official bootloader unlocker then I put the phone in to recovery mode ( updater app 3 dots in top corner) .
On your pc you should install mi suit and It will recognize update.
It may delete your gapps it did it for me.
next step is unlocking bootloader through official app ( you may need to wait for approval sms)
Last step is installing the new software http://en.miui.com/a-234.html
I hope that helps
Your right it is a Vendor Rom.
http://en.miui.com/thread-310405-1-1.html
Thanks a lot!! :d
One of my phones came with the same 7.4.9.0 (LHOCNDD), but bootloader was unlocked. Check yours, perhaps you're lucky too
It's a vendor rom, use EDL mode to flash to miui rom. Follow the steps here. No need to unlock bootloader.
http://en.miui.com/thread-235865-1-1.html
mine had the same LHOCNDD (not global), I bought mine from aliexpess, Xiaomi authorized store- phone build date is 2016.7 so I think they come from Xiaomi like this I had to wait 2 weeks for them to get one in stock,
I wish Xiaomi would stop with these strange firmwares, they block OTA updates, have unlocked bootloaders and cause other issues -
why they don't just use the global firmware on en.miui.com is a mystery, it would probably prevent 50% of returns from people bricking their devices.
I have the same 7.4.9.0 LHOCNDD vendor ROM. Bootloader is already unlocked. I want to flash TWRP to use with custom ROM because I don't want MIUI. Which guide should I follow in flashing TWRP?
Here's the full description of my problem.
I wanted to install a custom ROM, so I applied for permission to unlock. I obtained the permission about a month ago, and then the problems began.
First off, I'm not able to bind my account to my device under developer options. It shows error 80612 and some Chinese characters. When I try to unlock, it stops at 99%and says the account is not bound to device. I tried all the solutions listed on mi forums, but to no avail. The only solution left was to install developer ROM and try from there
Here comes the second problem. When I try to install it from updater app, it says I'm only allowed to install stable versions. So I tried to install via recovery. When I boot into recovery, just shows an image of phone and asks me to connect to PC suite. No options are shown, no way to navigate. I can only reboot by pressing power button. So I tried installing PC suite and connecting my phone, but the software refuses to recognise my phone, either says to connect phone via USB(which I did) or tells me to update phone to use suite (phone is on latest stable version)
This is like a roadblock to me. These many problems should not be existing in a ROM, especially when they claim to be developer friendly. It's almost like Xiaomi doesn't want people to unlock their phones. Please someone help me with this. Pics will be provided as requested.
Edit: I tired installing older versions of developer and even tried downgrading the stable version via updater app, but failed, showing error that i can't install anything other than stable and that i can't install older versions respectively
Bro firstly you have to install the developer ROM and yeah it shows the error that you can only install stable ROM
Solution = just download the oldest available developer ROM and then download the newest developer ROM
Flash the oldest zip first with the updater app the developer ROM will get flashed, boot it up but don't set it up completely. After you're in the system again go to the updater app then flash the newest developer ROM
Once all this is done setup all the necessary info on the newest beta build
Go to the MIUI forums , fill up all your info, next go to the MIUI forums on your windows PC and check that if all the info as you filled up in your device is there or not, if it's there then you're on the right track
Next check is the MI cloud services are activated or not, if they are active then go to MI cloud on your PC and just click on find device, if it exactly locates your device then you're all done.
The MIUI forums play a major role in unlocking the bootloader so make sure all your info is there and you browse then for quite a while.
Then just try to unlock your bootloader it'll surely work. ?
Attempting right away
Still the same error
You did all of the things that I wrote right
Got stopped at flashing the oldest developer ROM. It still shows the error that I can't install anything other than stable versions
Blocked at first step itself. Can't flash the older ROM too via updater app. Still shows the error that i can't install anything other than newer stable versions
You tried the oldest available global developer ROM right ?
Yes. I even tried downgrading the stable version. Even that didn't work
Bro try this - Update to the latest global stable ROM then test flashing the oldest global developer ROM . I hope it works for ya
That's what I did in the first step. I'm on the latest global stable. After your suggestion, I tired installing the oldest global developer. Same error
Ok I'll see what I can do to help you now cause your problem is getting pretty strange. ?
Hey guys! I just recently got my Mido and It has been updated to the latest Global Stable rom. I tried to unlock my bootloader but I'm getting the message that binding time is too short and I need to wait up to 68 hours. That's not a problem. I can wait. But I just have a one quick question though. Can I go and flash the latest Global Developer rom thru fastboot mode with the MiFlash Tool which has been updated to the Android version N without unlocking my bootloader? Or can I flash the latest Global Developer rom thru the Updater app with my bootloader still lock? I hope someone can help me out. I can wait for 68 hours, but I just can't sit and do nothing while waiting. Thank you guys!

Nope. To go to developer roms you need an unlocked BL.
Don't listen to them.
If you are on global stable you can flash global developer with a locked bootloader.
You should flash 7.2.16 first because you won't be able to flash never ones first. Download the recovery version and flash it through the updater app from within miui.
Be careful tho because this WILL wipe your internal storage.
After you installed 7.2.16 use the updater app to download the newest 7.7.6 rom and you are all set.

I can confirm that this is true. I've done it this way. The only drawback is that if you want to go back to global stable you will have to unlock the bootloader.

Hey mate! I really appreciate your info.. I tried to do this.. I was almost there, just a click away of being able to switch to global developer rom. But I accidentally clicked on Cancel instead of the Erase and Proceed to update button on the updater app. So I tried it again, but it doesn't give me that option anymore to flash it, the next thing I know it keeps saying I cannot upgrade from an unofficial rom package. I am so stupid. I missed my only chance of beinh able to switch to developer rom. I even tried doing a factory reset but still it's telling me the same error. Is there anyway I can get that option again? Coz at the first attemp, it even prompts me of decryption.. but now no more. Just can't update with 7.2.16 because it is from an unofficial rom package.

Mate please read my previous reply. You might be able to help me out. Apart from 7.2.16 is there any other rom that I can try to be able to switch to developer rom? I never imagine it's gonna be this hard. I had 4 xiaomi devices already before this. I can't believe Xiaomi is gonna make this very very hard as time goes by.
Clean cache of the updater app, close it and thentry again to flash the rom.
This is the one because it's based on Android 6. That's why you can flash it and then update to 7 via the updater app on the phone itself.
I dont have it very clear, do I have to do testpoint in order to unlock my bootloader in 9.2.6.0 Global Stable?
Now, you don't need testing point method to unlock bootloader.
You will need to unlock here:
http://en.miui.com/unlock/
It might be needed an Chinese VPN to do it
It takes 360 hours.
And then you can flash global rom. Be sure to keep bootloader unlocked or else the phone will need the testpoint method to work again.
I advise you to read a little bit on MIUI foruns before advancing.
I'm waiting to unlock my own phone, but so far I've managed to work with Chinese Rom in English, after gaps installation.
Is it possible to replace the recovery.img file in the ROM ZIP with TWRP? ie. rename TWRP to recovery.img, so that when it's flashed, you get TWRP with a locked bootloader?
I know this approach was used on older Xiaomi phones, but I'm not sure if it can be used with any model.

i'm kinda guessing, but if you push 'tempered' img in locked bootloader most likely it will bootloop.
anyway, how you get twrp without unlocking bootloader?
same situation for mine, come with 9.2.6.0 Global Stable. What I had done so far:
1. already received SMS for unlock permission
2. proceed to bind device & account, but stuck here, I got 86006 error.
Few methods tried but still failed:
1. tried many VPN for China, failed.
2. tried xiamitool to flash development or China ROM, failed because older version not allow, & bootloader unlocked are required.
I try to avoid test point, please help me. anyone know when MIUI 10 development will available to download?

There are only a few VPN apps that work with binding the account to the phone. Xiaomi makes it harder than it should be. I tried many apps on my new Mi Note 3 last night and finally found one that worked. It was Solo VPN.
You can also use PlexVPN or Turbo VPN up to v1.3 (can be downloaded from this thread. https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-4/how-to/solution-error-10008-unlocking-t3584341)

Did you use the VPN Turbo APK from the thread I linked to? I've used Plex and Solo successfully this week. Choose the Shanghai server in Plex if it's available. Otherwise, try China and Hong Kong in those apps.
Edit: Note that you'll need to log out of your Mi account before connecting to the VPN and then try adding it from the developer options menu again.
Does the error message mention "API"? If not, the VPN might not be your only problem.

You need to wait 360 hours after you've bound the account to the phone, yes. It's 72 hours for older models and 360 for new models. There's no way around it. However, if you're receiving that message when you run the unlocking program, it sounds like your phone is already linked to your Mi account.

If you have the Chinese firmware, then download the DNS Changer program https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.burakgon.dnschanger&hl=en)
You launch it and you select custom DNS. As the first dns you register 61.155.18.36, and the second 123.131.131.182 and you click start.

Hello Xda and K20 Pro-ians.
Just wanted to share with you what I did after accidentally selected “ clean all and lock” options during the process of putting in K20 Pro India ROM (raphaelin) 10.3.3 into my K20 Pro which was running on China (raphael) 10.3.14.
Started reading the forum and somehow TEST POINT Reset was my last option as I can’t boot into the ROM and was at the Recovery screen, Tried EDL as well still no go
I read through some post, and one of the members mentioned about using an older version of Unlocking application. Immediately, I tried all possible version that I could find and so far version “miflash_unlock-en-2.2.406.5” did the unlocking and straight went into the newly installed India ROM(raphaelin).
FYI. the latest version of MiUNlock doesn’t permit you to unlock bootloader process for another 30days (Mi Policies)
Steps Taken
1. Got my New Phone ( China Rom ) updated to version 10.3.14
2. Read through the post in XDA and begin ripping off my warranty -> Downloaded India Rom 10.3.3
3. Unlock Bootloader (waited for three days) -> starts flashing -> With Clean all and Lock option being checked! - FML!
4. Tried to unlock again with Miflash version 3~ no go
5. Install MiFlash unlock 2.2.4
6. Booth into Fastboot. Run the app and waited for 6 to 8 minute for the unlocking process.
7. Phone restarted
8. Happy days!

Here is the download link for miflash 2.2.406.5: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=889764386195901972
Thanks !

Apparently that's the claim. I don't imagine there's going to be many volunteers to deliberately brick their phone just to try this out.
We'll have to wait for the next person whose too impatient to fully read the guides and accidentally bricks the phone, before we can get any validation.

Hi Zadjalixx, unfortunately, is still L3, xiao mi need to up their game for this ~ I didn't root or load any custom recovery like TWARP into this phone YET. My initial Idea is the review the phone so I can use it for my daily drive. Also I can't see Netflix in PLaystore, ( so is a bummer for sure ). you have any alternative that could suggest? thanks mate.

Yeah , so far that works for me , I have given up at 1st and ready to make use of the hairdryer to remove the back cover to perform the test point reset.
I read through some treads which I am having issues to trace back, by using an older version of miflash unlock we can unlock the phone without the wait for another 30days.
Like Robo says we need to wait for the next victim to do so ~ I should have recorded a video during that process. Cheers ~

Hello Xda and K20 Pro-ians.
Just wanted to share with you what I did after accidentally selected “ clean all and lock” options during the process of putting in K20 Pro India ROM (raphaelin) 10.3.3 into my K20 Pro which was running on China (raphael) 10.3.14.
Started reading the forum and somehow TEST POINT Reset was my last option as I can’t boot into the ROM and was at the Recovery screen, Tried EDL as well still no go
I read through some post, and one of the members mentioned about using an older version of Unlocking application. Immediately, I tried all possible version that I could find and so far version “miflash_unlock-en-2.2.406.5” did the unlocking and straight went into the newly installed India ROM(raphaelin).
FYI. the latest version of MiUNlock doesn’t permit you to unlock bootloader process for another 30days (Mi Policies)
Steps Taken
1. Got my New Phone ( China Rom ) updated to version 10.3.14
2. Read through the post in XDA and begin ripping off my warranty -> Downloaded India Rom 10.3.3
3. Unlock Bootloader (waited for three days) -> starts flashing -> With Clean all and Lock option being checked! - FML!
4. Tried to unlock again with Miflash version 3~ no go
5. Install MiFlash unlock 2.2.4
6. Booth into Fastboot. Run the app and waited for 6 to 8 minute for the unlocking process.
7. Phone restarted
8. Happy days!

I don't think this will work . due to teh security level , It needs to have L1 rather then L3 to use Netflix service.
I also made the same mistake. I tried to unlock with newest and older unlock tool, but it failed. It is showing to go and check unlock status from the developer option. My device can't boot then how can to developer option?? Please suggest me what should I do. Thanks in advance

you need to download the chinese or indian fastboot rom and install it trough mi flash tool, then once the rom is installed again, you can go into the menu to enable bootloader unlock. Then you probably have to wait a week until you can unlock it using the xiaomi unlock tool.

Everytime I use the latest unlocker tool my phone won't boot to OS anymore and the stock recovery boots up. I have to do a factory reset and then i have to apply for the bootloader to unlock again.
Is there an option to see the unlock time without needing to reset the phone?

How is this correct? While Installing India rom, the bootoader got locked and you’re stuck at the Recovery menu. How Can you Enable Developer Options to bind the ID again when the device doesn’t boot?
Are you saying post the lockout, you booted immediately into fastboot and used the Mi Unlock?

Hi Mate, you tired using MiFlash unlock 2.2.4 as well ? Does it work. Basically once i Login to using my MI account and I leave the application run for few minutes and then I am able unlock the bootloader.
Most important step is that you need to put your phone to fastboot then unlock using older version -> then you should be able to boot into your ROM then from there you can enter the developer mode. But initially you should have your phone unlock(boot loader 1st right)
hope it works.
You need to boot your phone into fastboot. in order for the application to work.
Recovery menu ( Original Recovery from Mi / I have yet to load custom recovery like TWRP )
you could restart the phone and boot into fastboot even you are in the original recovery menu. Not sure if that makes sense.
thanks
My problem

This is a problem, when trying to pass the Chinese rom with the bootloader unlocked, the phone neither turns on nor fastboot mode and is only recognized via edl, have any idea what I can do?
I can't post external link. If you search on YouTube K20Pro EDL recovery you will get the video , that that is what you looking for.
The application only works if you are in fastboot mode. Thx and good luck
