Hi
I unlock my note 3 bootloader by officially few days back and flashed twrp to install custom rom. Today I try to install miui 9 in same method I used to install custom rom but my phone is dead now and the bootloader is unlocked again. So i went to unlock tool and try to unlock it again but it shows I can't unlock it before 30 days. Now what should I do how will I fix this. This is my only phone ? please help me
Flash a fastboot rom in EDL mode to restore it to working order.
Once the rom is installed properly and you have the same account details as before on the device, you should be able to unlock the same device without waiting 30 days.
The update to MIUI 9 probably locked the bootloader again.
ok, let me make 1 person very happy before new years. this dude looks like he needs a quick fix before new years. here it is.

Hi people,
I just bought a new Redmi note 3, and I would like to pass him into cyanogenmod.
Here what i'm attending to do.
Safe the stock room
unlock the bootloader (unofficialy)
root the phone
install the CyanogenMod
1 : For doing the backup I was there are many versions of TWRP.. so which one use ?
2: I don't want to wait half month or even more just the unlock the bootloader ! so i guess I will go unofficially any good link
# I just saw that topic apparently it's possible to flash the TWRP without unlocking the bootloader.. is that method is compatible to put CyanogenMod after ?
3: Any good method, link will be welcome
Thank folks.
1. Alka twrp can backup the most partitions
2. Backup request will be accepted within hours lately.. but yeah that method is possible
Have to agree with that. Officially unlocking bootloader is a mostly painless process nowadays.It's quite possible to unlock your bl officially in less than a week. Since it looks like you know what you're talking about, I'm sure I don't need to tell you the possible benefits of having an offically unlocked bl over the unoffically unlocked one.
Personally, I think the best method is as follows:
Unlock bl officially
flash twrp through fastboot
flash twrp Alka
backup all partitions into sd card
flash appropriate cm firmware
flash rom, gapps, etc
flash apollo sound mod(cause it's great)
Please feel free to disagree.
Ivanlai I don't know If I will still unlock the Bootloader -> New method to flash Twrp recovery !! without unlock bootloader ! (kate/kenzo) safe ! by supercowz
Hey guys, I have a xiaomi redmi note 3 pro kate running global developer version of miui 8.
I applied for permission of bootloader unlocking on the 30th of December. Ive been waiting for over 12 days and I'm still getting the notorious "couldnt verify device" . I have tried every single tips, tricks, methods thats available on numerous forum threads. None of them work. Don't bother suggesting me a "way" to unlock my bl thats "100% guranteed" cuz honestly i've given up hope. I dont want to unlock in the unofficial way either.
I read a thread here that says it's possible to flash twrp, root and flash all kinds of roms without unlocking the bl.
Could you guys maybe guide me through what i need to do to flash twrp and root? what do i need to do?And again, I have a kate.
yeah i want too flash root and stuff's without unlock bootloader, i have SD version of RN3, btw!
I see tons of people complaining that the Mi Unlock fails at 50%. I had that too, but solved it (somewhat) after downloading and using a newer version of the Mi Unlock (version 2.3).
Although I get past the 50% mark, the Mi Unlock program fails after verifying phone. [I tried to put a picture of the result below but XDA bars me from this practice until after I have submitted 10 posts.] Since XDA bans me from posting a picture of the result, I will try to verbally illustrate:
The Mi Unlock process runs the entire course - 100% - and then gives me green check mark and says, "Verified". The next step the Mi Unlock program takes is to unlock the bootloader. However it is at this step the process fails. Instead of unlocking, I get a message saying "Couldn't Unlock." Under those words is the following message, "After 72 hours of trying to unlock this device".
Anyone even know what that is supposed to mean? Is that just chinglish? Or better still, how can I get my device unlocked?
I SEE TONS OF PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM! Anyone have any idea what is going wrong? How do I deal with it? Am I to assume the message is suggesting we wait that particular number of hours before we can make the thing unlock the bootloader? Anyone? This IS a question that plagues many in the MIUI forum! And after going back roughly 70 pages into the forum, I see no solution; no answers! Just the same complaint over and over again and again.
I tried the unlocker a few times afterward, over the course of the day, with the same result. However curiously, there is one change to the message. It now says, "After 63 hours of trying to unlock this device". Is this suggesting I have to wait and try it in 63 hours?
Again, I see this same complaint time and time again on the MIUI forum for this phone. Anyone have any idea how to handle this dilemma?
One last question: How do I change out my MIUI ROM (currently MIUI 8.6.8.18 Beta) to a developer ROM? Ultimately I want to install a custom RR Rom or some other custom ROM. But MIUI 8.6.8.18 is android 5.0 LL; and the new Custom ROMs available are using android 7.0. My understanding is I need at least an MIUI Dev Rom with android 6.0 MM on the phone before it will let me leap over to some other Custom ROM with android 7.0. [I tried it. And though everything worked perfectly, (got my device rooted, and installed ZCX TWRP, etc.), it just bootlooped after flashing in TWRP. I tried it with several Custom ROMs - Always with the same bootloop. After exhaustive reading in web forums, the suggestion out there seems to be that I have to go back and install a DEV Rom with android 6.0 MM; then free the bootloader again, reinstall SuperSU (or similar), and then TWRP, etc. , and finally I will be able to Flash to one of the new Custom Rom's that uses Android 7.0.]
With this objective in mind, I downloaded the Dev Rom to my phone (7.7.20 - which is the latest for this phone). However, the UPDATER app on the phone won't update from the MIUI 8.6.8.18 Beta to the MIUI 7.7.20 Global Dev Rom. I select it in the updater by browsing over to it, then click "OK", but nothing happens. Instead of installing the MIUI 7.7 Dev Rom, the app just says that there are no updates...
Any ideas? Thanks
Unlock fails
Hi,
did you find a solution to your unlock problem. I have exactly the same problem and found only lots of solution for other problem with unlock.

Now the process of unlocking bootloader is quick.
I deleted my MI account & created a new one. So, applied for permissions again & unlocked in 5 mins after approval.

Please can you provide the exact steps you have taken?
IMHO this would help users like me who did follow the instructions to unlock the bootloader and run into this problem.
I did run into the problem, "After 72 hours of trying to unlock this device", even that I followed the instructions:
Create a Mi acoount (with my phone nr.)
Apply for unlocking, with giving reason
wait for confirmation sms
download unlocking tool
on the phone: activate dev options, switch on usb debugging, OEM unlocking and bind phone to Mi account in "Mi Unlock Status"
reboot phone in fastboot mode
run Mi Unlock prog on PC and log in
when prompted connect phone
The Mi unlocking tool stopped after verifying (green hock) at "Unlocking" with a red cross and show then "After 72 hours of trying to unlock this device".
I do not see where I went wrong...
IMHO this is a f***ed up process of unlocking the bootloader and Xiaomi should work on this.
I haven't read the post, but you don't need to unlock bootloader to root or flash custom roms

Hi,
As far as I know unfortunately if you want to install a custom rom you need to replace the Xiaomi recovery with a custom one, like twrp. In order to do that you need to unlock the bootloader first. Then you can flash the custom recovery with the command "fastboot flash recovery twrp-x.x.x-x-mido.img" for the Redmi Note 4 SD for example.

how? Any link to steps? I have currently resurrection remix 5.7.4 with OFFICIALLY unlocked bootloader, but it's useless because all new ROMs require new firmware and I don't have anymore access to my Xiaomi account which had granted bootloader permission, would like to move from marshmallow to Oreo, but that would require flashing me MIUI, relock bootloader and I will get stuck there and don't wanna apply anymore for official unlock, it's PITA

Yeah, this one. Tbh, this needs to be pinned, it's often buried under other posts so people don't know how to do it.
I cannot unlock my bootloader for some reason now. I had applied for permission around a year and a half back, I got the permissions, unlocked the bootloader and flashed a lot of ROMS. When I flashed MIUI through fastboot, the bootloader got locked again. Now I want to try some ROMS, but I cannot unlock the bootloader. It goes all the way till 99 percentage and it then gives the message 'Current Account cannot unlock this device'. I have permissions and everything because when I go to the mi unlock site I'm directed to the download page, not to the application page. Also, when I try to bind the account to my phone in Mi Unlock status in developer options, it keeps saying 'Couldnt Verify, wait a minute or two and try again'. I've waited for a day and it still doesn't work. I only have one sim card in my phone(the one which I used to get permission) but still it keeps saying the same message again and again.
Please help!
Regards.
Hello. Though I never had the problem (was on NOS rom before I messed something and had to flash miui rom via fastboot and relocked bl, I easily reunlock again using official method like the first time).
Before unlocking, make sure your phone are locked by using cmd "fastboot oem device info" or something like that I forgot. And your phone developer option have allow oem unlocking ticked on. Make sure your phone mi account logged in and of course matched with the one on your pc/laptop. Have good usb cable, drivers, and stable internet. Also you can try unlocking using another version of miui rom (the one you used for the first unlocking).
Don't know if those helps though.
I had the same problem for almost 2 months, asked on the miui forum and nobody helped so i just unlocked it unofficially, works great! On RR N now!
Same
I have the same problem, and also I know a lot of people with it. It seems that xiaomi has banned the unlock tool I don't know why...

Yeah its not an issue with all devices, I do have colleagues who have managed to unlock it officially, but still its a problem for a lot of people.
I have the exact same problem. Stuck at 99 when trying to re unlock, on both miui 8 and 9. I didnt bother trying to unlock with developer roms, just used the method to flash twrp without bl unlock. All good now on nos 8.
I'm happy with flash twrp only without unlocking bootloader since I got root access anyway
Why are you people trying to unlock bootloader when it's not even necessary on our phone? Just look on the forums a little bit more and you won't struggle anymore trying to unlock.

I mean, I do have twrp installed without unlocking bootloader.

Hello. First let me explain my situation.
So, today i bought a used Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 (SD)
I have a problem. I dont know if my phone is unlocked. When the phone is booting up, on the bottom it says unlocked, then it changes to powered by android.
Last year i had a Xiaomi Redmi 3 which i unlocked myself.
I downloaded the MiUnlock Tool from the official website, when i signed in it was authenticating my account with success (I dont know if i should ask for another permission for unlocking, as i already asked for permission for the Redmi 3 a year ago). When i clicked unlock, first time it went to 50% and it said with green Phone already unlocked. When i clicked unlock again it said unable to recognize phone error 1, or something similar to that, i did chech the drivers in the program, everything was fine. I tried that two more times, same problem.
In developer options in the 'MI unlock status' it already says 'unlocked'
The questions:
1.How do i chech if my bootloader is unlocked ?
2.If it is not unlocked, do i have to ask for permission from Xiaomi ? If so, how long is the waiting time (i heard that now its longer than before)
3. The phone is with Global MIUI firmware. Do i have to flash chinese developer firmware ? And for that does the bootloader to be unlocked, or its a step that has to be taken in order to unlock the bootloader ?
I searched on some subforums buts its been a long time since ive done this, so i thought i'd ask here.
Thanks in advance. Sorry for the long post, but i hope you'll read the whole thing.
1.It seems that your phone is already unlocked. You can check it like you already did; under developer options and startup.
2.I heard they gave up the 'permission to unlock' procedure. Not sure though. You only need to unlock bootloader when it is locked.
3.You should flash the global developer rom. Firmware is included. Although you can also flash the China version if you want.
I would flash the global developer through MiFlash tool and after that twrp and possibly some custom ROM if you want. When flashing custom roms, you should always check for the newest firmware before flashing and right after wipes flash that firmware before rom flash. https://www.google.com/amp/s/forum....nt/firmware-xiaomi-redmi-note-4-t3760917/amp/
