Do you wanna know IF you can UNLOCK your X10's BOOTLOADER?

Do you wanna know if you can unlock your bootloader? Then this is the thread for you.
Use this tool here: Bootloader Certificate Check
Here's how you will know if you can use the boot loader unlock tool. Follow all instructions on screen of the tool when you run it.
If you get at the end, "SEMC SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE"
Then yes can, you can use the SEMC_qd8250 unlock batch file to unlock tool yours.
If you unlocked with SETOOL, then yes, you can too, I'm not sure what message that gives as yet, but I will proceed to find out.
But if you get, "SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE NOT RECOGNIZED"
then NO, you CANNOT, I repeat, you CANNOT unlock your bootloader, not as yet at least, when you can I will update this thread. IF you attempt unlocking it with this message, then you WILL lose your radio signal, and will only be able to restore this if you unlock via SETOOL, which I am unsure how to go about doing doing, since nothing has been said about this.
Can the mods help by stickying this thread please so all persons with this question can see? Thank you.
I'll try it, thanks!
thanks for this info i get this now i can unlock my bootloader SEMC SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE

Never applied for unlocking bootloader, Not even showing to apply

i just tried to unlock my bootloader, i went to apply, but it didn't asked for applying it showed straight 'unlock now' and told to download the software, i logged in to the software and it told me to go to fastboot and press unlock i did that but stucked at 50% i am using latest global fastboot 6.8.18 and find my phone and all is done already,
Did the direct confirmation of unlocking request has to do something with it??
a help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Well the 50% stuck is known issue, try flashing the China Dev ROM and then try to unlock
Try unlocking unofficially to save time and effort. It works beautifully.

[SOLVED]MI5 Unlock Bootloader is now easy!!!

First of all thankyou very much Xiaomi for this!!!
Recently Xiaomi has released update for MIUI8 v8.1 2.
You can download it from its official website.
You should be logged in with you mi account in your phone.
I have already unlocked my redmi note 3 with same account so i did have the unlock approval for same account.
So i am not sure whether this will work without unlock bootloader approval.
No harm in trying.....
I was in Global stable rom v8.0.5
Steps:
Download the latest recovery rom v8.1.2 from the official website.
Save it in your internal memory in downloaded_rom folder.
Open updater app.
Select update pakage from menu.
It will update your rom to 8.1.2.
Nothing will erase by this.. All your files and apps will be there after update.
Once phone booted.. Go check the rom version in settings and then in about.
If its v8.1.2 then go to additional settings then developer option.
There you will see Mi unlock status go in it.
It will show locked.
at bottom you will see a button add account to unlock.
Press it, it will associate your Mi account to unlock bootloader request.
Download mi unlock tool.
Boot your phone into fastboot mode.
Login to your account in mi unlock tool and click unlock.
And you have Unlocked your bootloader.
Good news is unlocking bootloader does not erase your internal memory nor it formats your phone.
Enjoy!!!!!
I noticed and tried this earlier also but unfortunately have to report that it did not work. It was worded so that it seemed you didn't need unlock permission but you do.
But unlocking bootloader is already easy and totally legal. Why someone want to do like this way, instead of unlocking by better, easier way and supported by xiaomi?

This is the xiaomi way, it's just that in the new miui there is a screen in developer options that shows your unlock status. In there is a button that pairs your phone with your xiaomi account and then says to download unlock tool to unlock.
I tried it and it doesn't work without unlock permission. It's just a link to the unlock tool. However I think you need to add your phone from here to your account for unlock to work the "normal" way.

Yes, you are right.
You need unlock permissions.
You need unlocktool
You need to bind the phone to the account with unlock permissions (via developer options is 1 way, you can also simply login to MI account via Accounts)
Not working linking account to device in Dev Options

my bootloader unlock procee fail on 50 % . help me

Sorry, your application has been Rejected.

I got permission Long back when i was on MIUI 7 earlier Build but now when trying again to unlock the bootloader, Mi Unlock tool stops while authenticating my user ID and it responds
"Your device isn't supported by Mi Unlock, go to unlock.update.miui.com to apply for Mi Unlock support and view the progress". When i go to that link (i.e. the Mi Unlock application site) and i click on the only button in there "Unlock Now" it simply goes to a simple web page that says "Apply for unlocking permissions. Sorry, your application has been rejected. The more active your Mi Account is, the more likely your application will get approved." with no further action possible.
I have planned to flash RR N Update for that i have gone through the process of using mi unlock app for unlocking bootloader but i am getting such message.
Please Help me out i am in search for the solution.

Unlock permission is valid for only 1 month. You will have to reapply. Or unlock unofficially

Unlocking unofficially is very easy. But you will have to make downloads of 1.5gb
Here is the link for the guide:

While installing MiFLash you may have to disable Driver Signature Verfication for installation of drivers.

I have unlocked the bootloader unofficially 6-7 months ago and I still have no issues.

No, unlock permission is for account, you can unlock one device each month. No need for reapply.
Device not supported could be wrong rom version, you need developer version for unlock.

try this. This is neither official nor unofficial. I got permission from mi to unlock bootloader. This is a dump image of devinfo which contains the unlock state. Sort of like a token file. Flash it via edl. Flashing files included.
All you have to do is start your device in edl mode. check you port number, and run unlock.bat file.
Is this still valid and also available for the redmi 4 prime ?

Not only you, everyone faced this error. All you need to do is, download fly VPN app from Playstore and connect it, choose Shanghai server, now go to settings > developer setting > mi unlock status > try to bind your account. If you face any error, ignore it. Now wait few more days, do no try everyday, waiting 5 days or so, then try unlocking your bootloader.
