I just did everything I could to unlock my Bootloader. When I go to service menu it says "Bootloader unlocked allowed: Yes" so I guess I can unlock it but when I enter the key and everything i always recive this message. What can I do?

Thanks man! The problem was that I didn't had the "oem unlock" option in developer settings activated!! That's the reason I couldn't unlock it! Thanks!
Now that I have my bootloader unlocked what is the safest method to root it? Do you know?
Install TWRP and flash Super SU. But I didn't tested it yet.
Hey guys.
Today I got the permission from MIUI to unlock my bootloader. Although it is said that it takes a lot of time I got the SMS in 3 minutes.
So is there a way to lock it again and can i unlock it officially after locking it? Thanks
You just got the permission you haven't unlocked it yet
Its still locked if you want to unlock it then download mi flash unlock tool and unlock it
I'm not able to unlock it. It stops at 50%.

Hello everyone,
I applied for permission to unlock my RN3(kenzo) bootloader around 3 weeks back, and still haven't got any message from Xiaomi. I tried going on without it, but the MiFlash unlock tool can't verify my device (after 50% progress it displays this message). Now I can't even seem to apply again for this permission. This is what happens :
I click the 'Unlock Now' button on this page:
http://en.miui.com/unlock/
And instead of applying for unlock permission page it takes me to this page :
http://en.miui.com/unlock/download_en.html
Where I can only download the MiFlash tool.
I have been trying this for days now but it can't seem to work.
Utterly frustrated, I have came to seek help on this forum. Hope you guys can help me get over this hurdle.
Regards.

SSame thing happening to me. I didn't even applied once for unlocking. Still I can't request for unlock permission. Always directs me to download page Miunlock tool.
Had to unlock unofficially
You could try another account.

Yes, that's an option. Seems this unlocking the bootloader thing is a pain for a lot of people.

Yeah it is. I previously used a MOTO X 2014 (MOTO G 2013 before that) and unlocking bootloader was a breeze there. Took a maximum of 5 mins, and I thought it'd be same for this device. But, oh boy!!! Xiaomi really test your patience.
Anyways thanks a lot for this. Will give it a go too.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/method-miui-8-unlock-bootloader-twrp-t3529458
easiest, fastest and safest method (works for kenzo/kate):
prerequisite:
MIUI 8 Global Developer ROM 6.9.29
ZCX TWRP
Mi Flash 6.8.30
1) Download 6.9.29 fastboot MIUI ROM
2) Extract and replace recovery.img (in images folder) with ZCX TWRP.
3) Flash using Mi Flash (in EDL mode)
4) After finished flashing process unplug and press [volume up]+[power] until Mi logo shows up then release buttons and it boots to TWRP
5) Backup, reboot to system and accept that TWRP disable/overwrite standard recovery
6) Boot to MIUI. (important step)
7) Finished!!
Now you have access to TWRP and can flash custom roms and kernels with locked bootloader.
No need to unlock bootloader anymore!

Maybe this will help you. I was having a lot of trouble too unlocking the bootloader as mi flas tool would never go past 50%. What I did was :
1) Apllied for unlock permission (that you've already done).
2) Downloaded mi flash tool and tried unlocking with it(that failed obviously)
3) Logged into Mi Cloud at i.mi.com
4) Checked connected devices, there were two there. You gotta Delete the one that's not Redmi Note 3, and make sure redmi note 3 is online.
5) Now you go to Settings>Additional Settings >Developer Options >Mi unlock status, and bind the account there for unlocking.
6) Goto i.mi.com and click on someting like 'Find my phone'. It'll be there.
7) Now if it can find your phone and tell its location, then you're good to go. (This step is important I guess)
8) Go ahead and try unlocking your phone with Mi flashtool.
I hope this works for you(worked for me though).
If you can't unlock via this method there are a few unofficial unlocking methods or you could contact Xiaomi and they will correct your data on their server side and you should be good to go.

For me (and a lot of others) it was impossible to bind it, server always returned an error and asked to try again later...I unlocked unofficially and I'm a happy user of RR 5.7.4

Well you're right doing it. All this bootloader unlock charade is getting ridiculous now. I mean Xiaomi should learn from Motorola, their phones too come with locked bootloaders and unlocking them is a breeze(unless you use a carrier branded one).
Maybe it was just a good day for me that my BL got unlocked
Same here unlock always redirect to download page mi unlock tools or what ever ****!? Cant apply permission... Try another account, not help.

Hi. I bought my redmi note 4 sd from someone and the bootloader already unlocked when i received it..my question is, if i accidently formatted my phone using mi flash tool and accidently clicked the clean and lock option, do i need to request the bootloader unlock code again? Or will i be able to unlock it again?

I don't think you need to raise unlock request.Need to enable developer option and allow OEM unlocking.
fastboot oem unlock is sufficient for unlocking after lock by Mistool..
But, it would always configure your mi id for the device before starting.....

Nope, most of the time it isn't going to relock the bootloader. (98% of the time it won't)
I raise request unlock bootloader last night and today morning i received sms from miui to unlock the bootloader and follow thebinstruction. i guess its not wrong trying ? once again to unlock bootloader..since previous owner already request to unlock bootloader! Maybe thats the reason i receive the unlock sms not even 1day because its already requested in the past..
In my previous device (kenzo) i have unlocked my bootloader . Now in my new device (pocof1) whenever i go to unlock page it directly takes me to download page for downloading mi unlock tool , skipping the apply page.
When i try to unlock bootloader it says I don't have permission . What should i do? Thanks in advance ?

You don't need permission like in old days just download mi unlock tool and wait for unlocking.
Ha ha, I too faced the same issue and I'm also from Kenzo. What I did was delete Kenzo, apply fresh for Beryllium and you'll get yours unlocked in three days.
