Really, Really battling to unlock bootloader - Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers

Hi There,
I have been trying for well over a month now to unlock the bootloader on my Note 4. I have followed all the steps, waited the suggested periods in between and nothing. I had a Note 3 that I unlocked and put a custom rom on and loved it. MIUI is just not for me.
At the moment I am stuck trying to bind my phone with my account. I had been stuck getting a 86006 error and was advised on the MI forum to wait a week. I did that and it still got that error. Then I waited two weeks and now I just get " connect to the network and try again". I have tried on different WIFI and Cell networks with no difference.
Any advice would much appreciated?!

Did as both above suggested, back to the 86006 error.
Please won't someone write an unofficial unlock like with the Note 3....... :laugh:

I got permission through sms in 3 days..
but I tried everyday unlock process, and I can confirm that after 7 days ( today) , i got 100% success in unlocking bootloader.
Got permission after 2 days, unlocked the same day. It didn't work with global stable, so I switched to global developer, and that worked instantly.
7 days, unlocked officially .
I was on the verge of unlocking by unofficial method ....
I kindda installed the MIFlash software and the drivers that come along with it (Now my windows 8 shows a Test Mode message on the bottom right ) and it unlocked successfully...officially..
So, I can't say whether it was the time per say OR the installation of Drivers that unlocked my device. However, i would really suggest installing MiFlash to get the Xiaomi drivers if the software is stuck at 50% error...Cheers!
Got permission in 3 days , Unlocked after a week.
Permission sms in 2 days , unlocked right away succesfully.
3 days till the message arrived, but I applied on wrong account, so it took me some time to take the account back and unlock.

My case less than ten days without any confirmation sms, and I went to unlock officially with success.

Hi people, I had applied long ago for this. Confirmation sms came just the next day, but process always stuck at 50% progress (A/C logged in to device is different than A/C in MiUnlock Tool, it says.)
I have tried, as advised by many, in Global Stable, Global Dev and even tried China Dev today. (Still nothing.) Please suggest how to unlock, as the official unlock never worked for me as well.

Maybe you should login your verified account into your device before entering fastboot for unlocking.

I never received an e-mail or sms. Three or four days after I applied for permissions I just open the Mi Unlock program and I had permissions.

Tell them the truth, your western user (I assume) and you want to root and maybe install custom roms.

Right. I'd like to mod the phone. Really, I don't like a phone being stock. There're lots of thing rooted phone could do. Sometimes it's good to change the appearance of a phone.
I should just try it.

Just install the latest China dev rom (through updater) and you will be able to unlock with MI unlock.

Unable to unlock bootloader

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).

To install unofficial rom you dont need to unlock bl anymore, just follow this instruction and you be all set.

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.

how to unlock bootloader if u are getting 86012 error and stuck at 99%

If u have got the unlock permission by sms but not able to bind then follow the instructions:
1) First goto mi bootloader by holding volume button and power button.
2) connect your phone to windows laptop
3) Goto device manager and under connected devices search for Android device... Then update the driver and now u can see it is updated to Xiaomi.
4) Use a older version of mi flash tool.
5) This will unlock your device
not working bro, on 86012 error
Where exactly are u stuck? U don't have to bind the account. Older version of mi flash tool doesn't​require it
Is it really safe to use an old version of the unlocker for the note 4 though?

Yes I guess. The newer version is just made to be compatible with windows 10 and also account binding is compulsory. So if u want to still use new version of unlock tool then good luck as u might have to wait for days, months ,year's for it to sync and bind. Haha

When I got the permission to unlock the bootloader, I didn't have time to do so. Did it after 20 days or so, and got the "86012some Chinese letters)" error. Tried everything:
1. new Unlock tool and old unlock tool.
2. Sign out from Account and sign in again.
3. Turn off find device and then turn it on again.
4. Reset the phone.
5. Updated.
And pretty much everything I could find on youtube and forums.
And then tried the last thing.
Wait for 5-10 days.
I didn't even bothered binding the Account again for 10 days.
Then attempted just by turning on 'oem unlock', 'USB debugging', 'USB debugging security. Didn't even touched the bind Account thing.
Attempted the unlock and voila, it worked.
I've unlocked 3 phones in the same way, with the latest unlock tool, without binding, each one of them showed the same error. And tried all of the above steps 1 to 5 in two of the phones. Didn't bother doing the update for third phone. And the same steps worked for each one.
Don't know what it is? But its successful everytime. Will try on more and will tell.
I had facing the same issue too, i just wait for 7 days and did nothing since the first failed one.
And after 7 days, today i tried the same way and unlocked.

Yo, doesn't matter you still have the message or not.
You got the permissions and it's failing to unlock bootloader every time you try, right?
DL fly VPN from Playstore and run the app, choose shanghai server and go to additional settings > ki unlock status > you'll see an option like bound mi account, tap it and ignore if you get any errors.
Next, do no try everyday, just wait few days, like 5-7 days and try unlocking at the 5th day. Use latest unlock tool.
Every mi users who had unlocked their bootloader faced the same issue, heck even 21 days. I got mine unlocked after 10 days lol
So, do what I said and wait few days, you'll surely get your phone unlocked! :good:

Bootloader Issue (India)

Hello,
Yesterday I purchased a Redmi Note 5 Indian Unit which is on MIUI 9.5 Global on 7.1.2 Nougat.
I wanted to flash lineage os for the phone as I truly hate MIUI skin. But unlocking a bootloader makes a big problem, when I tried to unlock the bootloader; It tells me to wait for 360 hours, I went through all the threads here, but none helped me, I tried the bypass method with 2 different accounts but that does not work as well, maybe because MI stated that users no longer need permission to unlock. Please help me to unlock my bootloader, I cannot live with a MIUI, and there is no point in using the phone because in 15 days I will have to format the device again after unlocking the bootloader, so please help me. I have Indian Unit of the phone, so if that is what makes the problem, please tell me.
Reply ASAP.
follow the thread NO ERROR 86006 in guides section. u just need a new account and 5 min of spare time.

I tried with two accounts that worked for me 2 weeks before. First account you bind and apply for bootloader unlocking. After that, make sure your device is identified in mi cloud web. Find my device option. And after you got 360 hours wait. Create a new account and login into it in phone. Go back to bootloader and now it will unlock. I hope this method will work now.
