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.

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.

wait 2 3 days more. its normal. thier servers take more time . just try after 2 3 days. it will unlock.
my advice is that you should unlock it officially
regards
its more than a week for me , getting permissions..still I'm not able to unlock the bootloader ! Its like Xiaomi is forcing to stay on MiUi
Be sure you have:
1) added your mi account to accounts on your phone
2) enabled "OEM unlock" in developer settings
3) a miui dev rom

flash dev rom through miflash thn unlock bootloader
Try this if you have not found it yet in other post.
In About menu, unlock the developer mode. by clicking the MIUI version 7 times
Then go to Additional settings > Developer Options > Tap on Mi Unlock Status
Tap the only one button in this menu - to associate you Mi account to the phone.
Back to developer option,
Enable OEM unlocking and USB debugging.
Tested on MIUI 8 Global Developer Rom
Good luck

it says couldn't verify try again in a minute or two.
This is literally the worst device I have ever had to unlock. Completely ridiculous. I have managed to get a Beta version of the Global ROM installed after hours of screwing with this thing and now I still cannot unlock it. I'm signed into MiAccount, Location is on, OEM unlocking is on, debugging enabled etc and all I is the device is connected and I am logged in and when I flash the unlock tool is tells me cannot verify device.

this is from my thread about it:

it takes time for the servers to sync, so just wait

I have Mi account and managed to unlock mi5s last year.
So now I try to unlock Redmi Note 3 Pro SD, it says my device not supported.
It's it true RN3P no longer can be unlock the official way?
Not really... I just re-unlocked mine yesterday. Try with China Dev rom. I was having issues with global dev and global stable. Unlocking just couldn't move ahead of 50%. But with China dev, the process was completed in less than two minutes on the very first attempt.

I'd add that the Kate version (Special Edition) doesn't have a China dev rom, and there are conflicting reports of unlocking with the newer roms. I couldn't get it to work with the current dev rom (forgot the exact version) and I just yesterday switched back to 6.7.14 and seem to had more luck. I'm still on my 'waiting period' of 72 hours though
The biggest hurdle for me was getting my Mi Account to bind with the newer versions (there's a specific option you need to set under 'developer options'), 6.7.14 doesn't have that & it seems not be a requirement (yet)

Oh okay my bad.... I just assumed you were talking about kenzo.
I guess i cant b really helpful in case of Kate.
I tried official unlock on global stable , Dev roms & was successful make sure to enable developer options hit allow bootloader to be unlocked ( device must be connected to a mi account & locate your device once ) & authorize USB debugging Also disable all screen lock , passwords ; keep device connected to internet switch to fastboot mode & unlock

hello guys...
i was able to get my bootloader unlocked officially....
i tried everything mentioned online but no luck it always gave error to 50 % on the unlock tool and via oem unlocking it mentioned couldn't verify device....
this is what i did...
1st enable dev mode.... make sure you have oem unlocking (only 6.0 and above) enable also usb debugging...
download latest unlock tool ... en.miui.com/unlock
download minimal adb tool .... https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
make sure you have adb drive (usb driver)
also just be extra caution instal mi pc suite (though i did it without this)
connect your phone
open command prompt as an administrator
move to adb directory.... and type adb devices to check if your device is listed
the type .. adb reboot bootloader
phone will reboot to fastboot screen
type fastboot devices to check device is listed let this window open
open mi unlock tool.....
login it will verify if you have permission if it fails try again eventually it would
click on unlock it would show a warning
now the important part
as soon as you click yes on warning remove the usb cable...... and as soon as it reached 48-50 % (not more than that) reconnect the usb cable
hopefully it would work....
Thanks
UPDATE : Okay so i finally unlocked the bootloader finally. before the last try, i turned off the password/fingerprint lock and then it unlocked. everyone should try the same thing
I done every possible steps but nothing is happening! the bootloader unlock process always getting stuck at 99% and Account Bound error is coming on the PC and on the phone, "86012:*****" error showing on 'settings-additional settings-dev option-Mi Unlock status'.
I tried with 2 different Mi phone/account.
done with i.mi.com stuffs and find device, tried FlyVPN but there is no server of 'Shanghai"... etc!
Nothing is happeneing! I am a beta tester of MIUI 9 China, and see, i couldn't even unlock the bootloader yet! Wow! What a thing! Its been a week and so, still my bootloader is locked.
No help from Xiaomi.
I need a promising way to unlock. so help me.
See, I have unlocked three RN4 devices, none without the wait.
Had to wait 6-7 days for each one of them. There has been no luck for me in doing anything other than wait for 6-7 days after getting the permission.
But then, maybe something might work out for you.
The steps I tried or know of:
1. Being on the developer ROM is a must. Chances of unlocking bootloader from global stable MIUI are very slim.
2. Use old Mi Unlock tool. A quick google will land you there.
3. Don't change the accounts in the phone. You should be logged in with the account you got permission in.
4. Go to developer options and check "USB Debugging", "OEM Unlock" and one more option something sort of "USB Debugging Security".
5. Try to bind the account. It will yield a response with some code and Chinese text. Ignore it.
6. Use the original cable and use the ports on the back of the CPU.
7. Keep "Find my device" turned on. And log in to your account in your desktop and try locating your phone.
8. Now try unlocking.
I followed all the above steps I could find out from anywhere and I was able to do it.
In your case I do think you are either not in the developer build or you need to use the old Mi tool.

After removing fingerprints and password also - nothing doing. I had applied/received unlock permission from MI on Monday, and today is Wednesday, but it keeps showing "Could not unlock after 31 hours of attempt".. Dont know what that means since from my count, it is more than 42 hours
Title EDIT:

My RN3 currently has Global MIUI 9 Global 7.11.23 | Beta ROM installed.

Thank you, Sir. I have tried the official method for the past seven days, but it gets stuck on 99% Account not bound to this device. That's why I searched for other methods.
Also, I am never going to flash MIUI ROM on my device again. Could the unofficial method still be a problem?

As you have official permissions first try to perform these steps & try unlocking :
> Locate device using MI cloud (find device) https://i.mi.com/
> check if the mail , phone are linked to your MI account
> Enable OEM unlocking & bind MI account with your device in developer options
> Download this https://mega.nz/#F!iQVFTB5Z!elmzC8piy8PukrOxiXHDFw connect the device to pc turned on - go to developer options & revoke USB debugging authorizations - now enable USB debugging - open cmd from the folder which you've downloaded - type adb devices ( hit enter button) - if it displays daemon started on port xxxx - you'll get a pop up on mobile ... accept it - disable pattern lock, num lock, etc delete fingerprints - now try unlocking logging in with a mobile number if it fails then email id & finally with mi account number.
Also make sure to wait for a week to unlock officially.
If everything fails you can proceed to unlock unofficially & remove ****UI from your phone.

Okay, Sir. I'd just like to point out the fact that I noticed one thing mentioned on that thread. It is specifically for Kate (Redmi Note 3 Special Edition) while my device is a plain Redmi Note 3 Kenzo with 2GB Ram and Hexa Core SnapDragon.
I think this might be a problem since that .mbn file mentioned on that page belongs to a different variant.
Can you please point me to the correct thread? Or a method that uses .mbn file to unlock bootloader on my device?
