I created an account just to reply to you. Yes there is a way.
What I did was use VMware to run Windows XP
I had to use an older version of the unlock tool - the latest unlock tool open but not run - the older unlock tools ask you to upgrade. The one I used was a 2.something
Once I figured that part out, it unlocked immediately - first try.
Hope this helps

Understood - I wasnt able to find anyone with a MAC solution as you have to run the MiUnlock tool
As far as I know, there is no way to unlock with a MAC - Windows is a must. The whole unlock process is pretty poor with this phone imo.

You can try it on Wine, but I never hear anyone who actually use the unlocking tool on Wine running on Mac or Linux distros.
Your only proper solution is to grab another PC running Windows and use that tool there, or emulate Windows inside VM like on posts above.

[Q] Need the Hasoon S-OFF Tool for Amaze 4G

Greetings! Friends i need to know if S-ON is the reason why i cant upgrade to the cm-10-20130310-NIGHTLY-ruby or any of the cutom ROM's? My HTC Amaze 4G (Asia Region) remains stuck on the HTC logo after installing the .zip and rebooting my system. I have also tried one other STOCK ROM for HTC Amaze 4g (T-Mobile) this worked fine, only with the exception that my wifi on in the settings would show a wifi error and i had to use an internet pass through to gain access to the market. Concluding it on this, If S-ON is my problem here? can any one help me with the link to Hasoon S-OFF toolkit. I did use his All in one kit to unlock the boot loader and permanently root my phone but did not find the S-OFF option in that tool kit. Looking forward to a prompt response
Best Regards

AJ-2423 thanks for summarizing it all, the situation you explained is absolutely identical. However i have a little situation here that i do not have a Linux or Ubuntu based OS and am on Win 7 on all my systems. The Hasoon S-OFF all in one tool kit for windows is what i was looking for but could not find a link to it any where!

Here is the link, but S-Off is really a separate function. In fact, the tool is simply consolidating many outside tools to accomplish the tasks.

Who knows how to root this piece of Sh#%&"t, or at least if it is possible to do it!
The bootloader can be unlocked
You can find the option to unlock the bootloader in the developer options, in the settings. You can easily find tutorials online on how to turn on developer options.

And, what after that?
I was able to acces into "Download Mode" with theese steps:
1. Turn off phone
2. Connect to PC via usb
3. Wait until the big battery icon on your phone disappear (screen goes black)
4. Hold at once volume up/down and power buttons.
5. Red screen goes (release the buttons), hold volume up to enter download mode.
But is the same case, what else?; I can't find any Root file, firmware, stock ROM or anything.
If only I was able to eliminate all the bloatware!
I found at Google a supposed Stock ROM for the 5056A for use with the SP FlashTool, but it's for a Mediatek microprocessor, (I suppose it's for some Pixi model and not for this one in specific since this 5056A has a Snapdragon microprocessor) and therefore isn't possible to use that Stock ROM.
Any update to this topic?
Regards!

Could you be more specific please?, there's no link at your answer...
So, I read this:
https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-install-twrp/
However, There's no TWRP downloads for this Alcatel model at: https://twrp.me/Devices/; so we are at the same situation...
How do you did it?, please explain!

Try using a different pc. Make sure you have latest drivers and you are connected to internet. Make sure driver signature check is closed in windows 10. Use 64bit version of windows for this.
If nothing works, then take it to service centre and ask them for help. Or you can unlock officially. After unlocking officially, flash twrp and then flash the radio package compiled by banmeifyouwant. That package will replace your unofficial bootloader with a user debuggable one.

Custom ROM for UMIDIGI X or A5 pro - Verified Boot

Hi,
I just got two new UMIDIGI phones (X and A5 Pro) both running Android 9, and I want do flash a custom made ROM on them. When I try flashing I'm getting an error saying that "Verified boot is enabled" and I need a signed image file.
Is there a workaround for this? How do I disable verified boot?
Any info will help, thanks in advance.
You must release the bootloader for that procedure, I used MTKROOT in Windows 8.1 to be able to release the bootloader
