From my hard time unlocking Bootloader and flashing recovery until first custom ROM of 3s, I'll share some advice
- If stuck on 50% at BL unlock, >use chinese dev rom (I used this: "land_images_V7.5.1.0.MALCNDE_20160629.0000.25_6.0_cn">MiFlash has different names but it's all the same program, and if you wanna flash something, you have to run the .bat of the extracted ROM first! >And then start the MiFlash Prog. >sign into your MI account at the dev rom in your phone >activate 'find device' and all other account options there which you can tick there at login >stop account sync of the rom and start it again >go to i.miui.com and sign in >RETRY
Custom Recovery & custom ROM
- Flashing the Chinese TWRP will cause bootloop to the dev rom ! And you likely cannot boot into recovery by just a button combo, so just reboot the recovery >using recovery< once, after you had confirmed to make changes on system (at startup of recovery) >> And keep your ROM plus Gapps on your SDCARD as you cannot access the recovery easily, if not by >fastboot reflash< or working ROM (using 'reboot recovery' in it, later) ! Do not flash Gapps after you booted the ROM already, as this will cause Gapps to fail!
Enjoy~

Is it mandatory to use china dev ROM? I am on global dev. Checked the ROM zip, it contain recovery img. Its just inaccessible due to locked bootloader.

you must use this exact rom, at least this was the one i was using. and there is a guide where it says how to flash it with miflash but i lost the link. "land_images_V7.5.1.0.MALCNDE_20160629.0000.25_6.0_cn_e5777810ad" from en.miui.com
and yes, afaik you do have to flash this rom with miflash that's mandatory. chinese dev rom is must.
HOnest Solution...
Honest Solution..
If you got Permission for unlocking just wait for 6 to 10 days after getting the permission..
No matter which rom u are on..
You will unlock successfully.. Just follow the process of i.mi.com.
Well i was also facing the same issue, what really helped me here is,
1. Removed MI Account after getting unlocking permissions,
2. Re-Added MI Account by using the mobile no. (Logging in using Mobile no. is mandatory)
3. Located the phone from i.mi.com (find device option)
4. Switched off the phone and booted into fastboot mode.
5. Opened MI Unlock and logged in here from Mobile No. and unlocked.
Got success.

unlocked boot loader successfully . I got code week ago and i had same problem stopped at 50%.
Finally i decided to install Chinese developer rom but for last time i thought let me try unlocking again with global rom. Fortunately it was a success.
Suggestion:
- allow unlock bootloader option in developer setting.
-when ever u try unlocking.Try login with phone number ,email id and mi account code.(three try every day)
-do the same with three acc in i.mi.com(locate your phone.)
-remove finger print security.(remove security)
-And have some patients. It will get unlocked when xiomi update their database.
-i got two different codes with my email id and phone no. I don't know why i have only one account in mi.com.But if it shows u"u need to apply for unlock code "again then get it.
really frustating.
I was really surprised that I got the permission for unlocking the bootloader just 30 min after applying for request. But got stuck at 50%. Tried all solutions. I'm getting that "Current account is different from the account info on the device". Somebody please help. It's already two weeks since I got the permission. Also tried internet on/off method but no use.

1. Try removing other devices from your Mi Account for the moment, add them later if you want.
2. It takes a week or so to update your information on the Indian Xiaomi servers.
3. Make sure you're using the same account in which you got the permissions to unlock and the same account is logged-in in your Mi Account app.
4. Enable Developer options and tick "Allow OEM unlock"
Personally, I waited for 6 days after getting permissions. I was also getting stuck at 50% with a few error messages but after waiting, the unlock was successful.
I had tried a lot of things that included, switching internet on/off, factory resetting MIUI, trying multiple times, reinstalling drivers, maybe I flashed the fastboot ROM too, a few times. But after all of that, few guys suggested me to wait for a week or so, so that my device's information may be updated with my account, I did that and got it unlocked after a couple of days without any problem.

It's been 14 days since I got permission. I'm not able to flash a fastboot rom because my phone is not entering to EDL mode(It's just booting to android instead). However

I had received the bootloader unlock permission for my kenzo on December 12th, but whenever I try to unlock, the notorious "Couldn't verify device" error appears. I've been repeatedly trying to unlock for the past few days, but in vain. I have only one Mi account, which received the unlock permission, and my device and laptop are logged into it. I have tried all of the following tips prescribed in various forums:
1. Tried signing in to i.mi.com and use find device service.
2. Disabled driver signature enforcement in my laptop.
3. Removed pattern/pin and fingerprint.
4. Bind Mi account for unlocking in developer options, but it shows some 86012 error.
5. Flashed MIUI 8 global developer rom 6.12.22 (currently using it).
6. Emailed Xiaomi India service, which advised me to take my phone to service centre!!
7. PM'ed some mods in MIUI forum about the issue.
8. Tried different versions of the MiUnlock app.
9. Tried doing it on different USB ports and different PC.
10. Patiently waited for many days. :crying:
I have all the necessary drivers installed in my laptop, and of course, I have enabled OEM unlocking and usb debugging in developer options.
So, after patiently waiting for 16 days after receiving unlock permission, I am ultimately about to give up on this. Is there anything else I can do to get my device unlocked?? (PLEASE DO NOT SUGGEST UNOFFICIAL METHOD).

Yea...good to know...for some users it gets unlocked without any hassle, even on global stable ROM...it just depends on whether your device details have been refreshed in xiaomi's servers...
Yeh...Global stable Rom can also be unlockable.
It's been 5 days but still no luck

It doesn't matter, just wait for 4-5 days without trying to unlock the phone and try after 4-5 days , your phone will be unlocked..
Older version dont work. Still binding time is too short. Any solution? This process is insane. Wait por 3 days to unlock, xiaomi sucks.
Got the unlock permission yesterday. I followed every method and suggestion that was floating around this forum before coming to write this thread.
I get the Current account is not bound to this device error.
Tried binding, I get the 86012 error.
Some people say wait for a couple of days, while there are people who are waiting for months and still failing to unlock.
Surprisingly there is no official post from Xiaomi if one should wait for a couple of days after getting the unlock permission.
I recently bought this device and I am at a loss here. I tried every possible solution out there. Except I haven't tried flashing a dev rom yet, but there are people who said you do not need a dev rom, just enable OEM unlocking from developer options and USB debugging and it does make sense. If the global ROM has the option for OEM unlocking then why do I need to flash a Dev ROM? Also where is the official post from Xiaomi which suggests that?
There are just people with their experiments and posting what helped them succeed. Is there anyone who has figured it out right? Help me understand what exactly am I missing here guys.
Edit: I also tried unlocking with lower versions of the unlock tool. Stucks at 50%. FlyVPN doesn't connect, and if it does, there's no internet connectivity, the websites won't load, internet won't work.
Hey, you're not alone bud.
Ive got my device unlocked after 15 days, 7 days after getting unlocking permissions.
Actually everyone faces this 50%stuck error with older version of mi unlock tool, with the new one everyone facing the error like 99% stuck or account not bound error.
What you have to do is just wait with the stable rom which your device shipped with, everytime you try to unlock your phone, you'll get failed for a Buncha reasons. The possible reason be like, account isn't bound yet, failed to verify device info, failed to locate device on i.mi.com etc..
So, when I got permissions, what I did was just do not rush to unlock my device, I know MIUI sucks but still, I got on pc after 2 days of permission then tried to unlock bootloader, it was failed with error failed to verify device information-50% stuck error. I too tried binding my mi account with the help of fly VPN but got the same error 86012 - Device not found.
Then, I just stopped trying to unlock my device every now and then, I've hit find my device option, enabled oem unlocking & USB debugging from dev settings, 5 days later, plugged in my device and hit unlock, it was successfully unlocked.
Eh, then you know TWRP+custom ROM'd it.
I suggest you to wait few more days, like 2-3 days, do not try to unlock your device in between, just wait.. 3 days later get on pc, use old unlock tool and try unlocking your phone. That's gonna works.
Again, do not try every now and then, give Xiaomi servers to sync up your device's details, as I read somewhere they update their server so slowly.
#That'sitall
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
I have unlocked the boot loader in other phones many times previously so I'm fairly good at using the unlock tool and understanding the various nuances. However the problem I keep getting is that the unlock tool tells me "unlock failed please add to your account in Mi unlock status in developer options. Obviously I have done that multiple times and I can't see any legitimate reason why it keeps throwing up this error. Yes I've tried all the usual suspects such as changing the recovery phone and the cables et cetera.
Anybody got any idea why the unlock tool keeps asking me to add my account in "Mi unlock status"?
1.turn on oem unlock
2.unlocking each device has a 168 day time limit. wait for a long time.
3(recommend)use 9008 force-unlock
Problem solved - when you create your Xiamoi account put USA as your location even if you are as I am based in the UK.
