Hello guys, i really need some help here. I bought RN4 with unofficial Global rom, i already have asked for bootloader unlock permission and waiting, but i read that i cannot do it if i have unofficial rom so i tryied to install the developer official china rom but i failed. I tried with the chinese MiSuite in recovery mode, the programm goes to start the install of the downloaded rom (China Developer official from xiaomi site) but it appears an error before even start (in chineese, i cannot tell what it says) and it is like Retry or Cancel (of course Retry does nothing) can anyone help me? Thank you very much.

This one is for Mediatek I guess what about SD any ideas?
If the phone has an unofficial ROM, then it means that the bootloader is already unlocked. You can pass to an official ROM just by following this guide.
If the bootloader is locked, you can unlock following this guide (that is valid for all Xiaomi phone with locked bootloader).

Hi herecomesmaggi, I already received an SMS with the permission to unlock the device.
I had read in Xiaomi forum that this is fixed by installing the chinesse dev rom, but that rom is only for MTK devices, is there a chinesse dev rom for kate/special edition?
Regards

First of all lemme clear this, chinese dev rom and global dev rom are same with only diffrence of languages(chinese rom has only english and chinese) and google apps.
I faced the same problem while unlocking my bootloader. it unlocked after 8 days of getting message. You wanna try other methods so be it, but i know for sure it takes a week after message is sent.
My advice - just wait it out . if any partition or so gets messed up, you will end up having problems in custom roms like others.. fp , camera, imei problems...

Wait atleast 2 weeks then try to unlock bootloader officially, same problem was with me when I was trying to unlock my "kenzo" device, but when after 2 weeks I tried it to unlock by official method it's successfully unlocked.
When I unlocked it my phone was on MIUI Global Stable 8.1.10.
If you can't wait and want to unlock it urgently then follow the unofficial method, link provided below.

Dont do unofficial Method.. I had same exact message..wait out a week
There is an easy way to know if your device can be unlocked or not
If your device details are shown correctly, INCLUDES MIUI version, under your Avatar on MIUI forum it means the device is detected properly and the bootloader will be successfully unlocked
If there is no details of your device under your Avatar, the unlocking proccess will fail
Have a look here it might assist you.....

Could not find the original method i used, but have just found it again, I managed to officially unlock after suffering several 50% failures using method 2 in the following link, I managed it with global stable installed as supplied with the phone.
http://en.miui.com/thread-434406-1-1.html
I used this method on my newly bought Kate device: https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/method-to-flash-twrp-recovery-unlock-t3473294
Works great! Rooted and installed xposed with locked bootloader. Now i can wait patiently for my official unlock code.
Sent from my Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 using XDA Labs
this one works for me;
Go to settings>developer options>mi unlock status> and press "add account and device"
after this you can try to unlock bootloader again.
While unlocking bootloader it says couldn't verify device always have problem I have tried all ways mentioned in forum.. like same account choose find my device. At last I can't write miui version I'm using in profile of miui forum. Plz help
I'm using Redmi Note 3 Qualcomm using Marshmallow version 8.1.6.0

I had this annoying problem for weeks on mine redmi note3. I tried everything (even using a proxy as suggested on miui forum); in the past I also tried old version of Miflash (not working anymore, xiaomi broke functionality of them).
On miui forum (and also on xda) someone suggested to flash Miui Developer, others say to flash the stable one...I repeat, I tried everything...
at the end I used an unofficial method (not working for redmi note 4 Mido)
@qandrav Is it available for Redmi 4A?

u need to wait for 1 month cause same account cannot used to unlock bootloader of other phone..
mi restrictions.its better to get unlock permissions on new account and try unlocking with that..I'm also not sure about 1 month part I read that in mi community
---------- Post added at 06:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:21 AM ----------
Do these things to solve current account not linked to device problem
1.have a single device linked to Ur mi account..
2.enable find Ur device mi cloud option and check whether ur device shows online in i.mi.com
3.Click number of times bind Ur mi account to this device which is under settings--mi unlock status.. Remember keep sync on..
After doing these,try again after 10 days, u will be able to unlock successfully..
Credits go to this thread: http://en.miui.com/thread-3754714-1-1.html and copy the prewritten email and send it to global Xiaomi support!
And participate in the movement, so we can achieve an answer from Xiaomi!!!
"You may have seen my first thread on my email correspondence with Xiaomi customer support and their useless answer here:
http://en.miui.com/thread-3744798-1-1.html
There's an update today with more of the same. I got the other boiler plate about the "server process" and how to "be patient":

I don't think we need "to be patient". We must be polite, but persistent.
So, go and ask Xiaomi for a clear and responsible attitude. If you have the bricked phone problem, don't just spend time on the forums. Send an email to the Xiaomi customer service!
Here is how:

Hi. Thousands of users, including myself {MI ID ______} , are facing the ARB-bricked Xiaomi
phones issue.
There are literally thousands of people with soft-bricked phones due to your poorly announced
and poorly executed ARB decision, which is contrary to Xiaomi's past policies and promises
of hardware openness.
The hottest topics on the MIUI forums are about Xiaomi not addressing the issue.
It is literally a flood. Here are some, and some that have been there for weeks.
http://en.miui.com/thread-3612759-1-1.html

http://en.miui.com/thread-3495776-1-1.html
http://en.miui.com/thread-3149410-1-1.html
Xiaomi's poor decision bricked thousands of new phones.
Some users did get authorizations, most of us were left hanging.
There are now scammers who post offers to unbrick for money, who ask
people for remote access to their PC and phone. Xiaomi is putting many, many
of its customers at unacceptable risks because of the stubborn refusal to
provide the required access in a timely manner. This is completely unacceptable.
You must not reply with boilerplate excuses, but with a solution.
Please don't stall, and explain your policy and "the server process" fairly to
everyone.
And please authorize my (and everyone else's) account for EDI flashing.
Best regards:"

It's ok to ask Xiaomi for a statement but you cant really blame Xiaomi for the bricks.
They sell 2 kind of devices :
CHINA and Global.
China are supposed to work only in china and you should not "hack" them with unlocking+flashing others rom.
Global is what you are supposed to buy if you want a Xiaomi phone.
It's simple, at least read before unlock/flash things. That's why people have bricks now. It's written everywhere, with china model you CANT relock bootloader if global is on it. Easy. If you are touching bootloader is supposed that you know what you are doing, otherwise dont do it.

Most people buying Xiaomi devices on Chinese online stores don't know that policy and the seller didn't tell anything nor Xiaomi till a few weeks.
Xiaomi should stop selling hijacked devices.

Then fun fact is that. Xiaomi dont officially sell hijacked devices.
Resellers do it.
They buy stock of chinese devices and then "hack" with some EDL or something to unlock bootloader immediatly, flashing global and "advertising" it like a Global Phone. Some tell you that is unlocked+global, others dont.
For example, my case. Mi8 from eGlobal on eBay. It should've been STOCK Cinese Phone, with locked bootloader and just english or chinese language. It arrived with unlocked bootloader and global rom on it.
You can't really blame Xiaomi...
is it possible to unlock bootloader with a authorised Account immediatly? Or do i have to wait the 720h?

Sent from my MI 8 using Tapatalk
I am getting an MI 8 from AliExpress and the phone is a China variant with unlocked bootloader + global ROM on it. I know I can't relock the bootloader as it has a global ROM.
Couple of questions:
1. After I add my MI account to the device, will I be able to debrick it if it ever gets bricked?
2. Since it was unlocked by some reseller's account, it's tied to their account and only they can unlock it if it's bricked?
3. Only way to relock is to flash the China ROM and unlock it using my MI account (after 720 hours)?
1 depends the way u brick...
2 no... after the unlock, they remove the account from the phone.
3 u awnsered your on question. if you flash china rom, u will relock.. if u unlock after that, u will unlock the boot loader again.
Honestly, I also experienced this. My Mi 8 Bootloop into Recovery/Softbrick. I did use someone's services to make My Mi 8 work again without opening the phone. Cause in my country Xiaomi does not provide warranty for non official product.

I think you re-locked the bootloader after flashing Global ROM. You can unbrick it in 2 ways:
1. Unlock the bootloader again and flash Global Fastboot ROM keeping bootloader unlocked.
2. Use MiPCSuite V3 and flash China ROM again.
Thanks,

i had the same issue.
unlocked bootloader - flashed Global miui 10 .. Bootlooped to recovery..
all you have to do is connect to the mi unlock tool and go through the unlock process.. it will boot up into miui 10.
@navin_n, @Dalendra7,
MiPCSuite V3 seems to work !... But it only accepted to flash the ROM that I already flashed via MiFlash and which bricked my phone, which is Global 10.0.2.0
So MiPCSuite V3 works but I can't install either an older global version or a Chinese version, older or more recent.
Except for EDL and test point, what are our options ?
Thanks
