Hello Guys, my device got locked after updating my device from miui 8 to miui 9 through a OTA update, i flashed fastboot ROM but it didn't work, I followed a temperory solution not second storage but a solution through ADB drivers ( developers tools ) i formatted through recovery and went to welcome settings from there clicked on terms and conditions and went to Google app searched for settings - created second space then went to activate developers settings and clicked on bebugging on etc , then went back to first storage and activated developers settings and switched OEM unlock , usb debugging on etc than I connected my device to pc, before that I installed abd drivers , from computer I opened CMD and typed few codes like device is connected or not than removed find devices.apk using code by this step I'm able to use my device but I cannot restart or reboot or switch off my device , if I do so it will go to bootloop. By using another code find me device APK will be saved on SD card, a developer said install it as user app ( it can't be installed as user or system app it just installs the app ) and bootloop problem will be solved but when I install it then again device got locked immediately after the install.
So I'm looking for a permanent solution for this, please help me. Thank you
If the device is locked. just unlock it officialy already. and u cannot just remove find device apk without root. u just disabled it.
Need proper answer, waiting for help
I didn't get, What U meant by Device got locked. Few things that can be done, Unlock Bootloader and flash MiUi Fastboot ROM or use any other custom ROMs. Unlock bootloader via Official methods or u can try unofficial methods too.

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.

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.

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)

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.

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.
..
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

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.

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.
As there are different steps and threads all over xda as to how to go about rooting redmi note 3 and then installing a custom ROM, I was wondering if someone could list or direct me to the correct working method to unlock bootloader, root, and install a custom ROM.
Note: I haven't done any tampering with the device, no TWRP, no unlocking bootloader via the hack or official method. I have only installed OTA updates sent to the device via Xiaomi.

Are you suggesting that because the unofficial method is unreliable or because you think I am a beginner?
Both.. official method is simple and with unofficial u may get into firmware probs later while flashing roms which leads to soft/hard brick
Official unlock is recommended to avoid something bad for your device

So, I got the permission from Xiaomi. But, I can't run the Unlock tool on Linux. I tried using VMware Player but the device is still not recognized. Have you had any luck using the official method on Ubuntu?

Forget it if you don't have windows. Xiaomi's unlock tool does not support linux. So you can't go with official method.
And the unofficial method requires a modded fastboot ehich is only available for windows. You can't go with this way too.
So, no way out if you don't have windows.
Also don't think of unlocking it unofficially if you don't have windows because most of the unofficial unlocked devices get locked which again requires the modded fastboot to unlock it.
The last problem, seriously and sadly, doesn't have any other solution
I am unofficially unlocked and few days back i had clean installed ubuntu on my pc but now i am back on windows. Why?? Because my device got locked and i couldn't help but install windows. You have been warned!

Can the device get locked even after installing a custom ROM? What happens when it gets re-locked? ("Soft brick?")

Yes it can. Actually it hapoens mostly when we flash firmwares which have the unmodified emmc_appsboot.mbn file.
When we unlock unofficially this file is modified.
Thus flashing the firmware locks it.
I would not call it softbrick. When that happens you cannot boot anymore. Only fastboot mode is available and it doesn't allow us to flah any files since the device got locked again.
So we again need to go to edl mode which is only accessible by the modified fastboot available only for windows.
Enjoy linux?
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!

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'm trying to unlock the boot loader of my RN3.
I have done it before and relocked it again, now i am not able to unlock it again
at first when i tried fastboot oem unlock-go it said oem unlock not allowed, i had enabled oem unlock and usb debugging from dev options but some how whenever i completed the flashing process it showed me this error again.
I tired the official unlock method and it gives error at 99% - "could not unlock".
now after trying it on different miui versions it is showing an error like this after fastboot oem unlock-go :
token verification invalid or something.
please help me, this is just bugging me!
EDIT:- I managed to unlock it, i flashed miui 7.2.5.0 and did the process again and it worked.
Thanks for your suggestion , probably we have the same problem .. flashing a miui 7 seems to be the only way for official unlock to a lot of KATE users .
Maybe one day that i'll change device i'll use this method too .. right now the RN3se is my only device .

Official unlock has advantage. Ur device receives official unlock key.
If ur device is official unlock. And if u r on custom rom then u can even flash latest firmware 45mb zip file which totally updates ur phone including bootloader.
U need latest miui bootloader to boot oreo or pie custom roms. If u have lollipop bootloader then u cant boot latest custom roms.
Bind ur account in developer option and keep micloud sync on both wifi and data.
Wait for 72 hours.
If u cant unlock on ur pc then use diffrent pc. But unlock it on latest miui 8.9.20 global beta.
Even u can use linux Os. They say linux pc has better chance to unlock officially then windows pc. So if u have linux installed on pc then good.
There is miunlock tool available for linux.

Dont keep on changing rom. Ur device info should sync with xiaomi server. Ur rom version should match with xiaomi server. Keep mi cloud sync on.if everything matches then server sends unlock key to phone.
Make sure u dont have antivirus disabled on pc or on phone while unlocking.
