Guys I have been trying to unlock the bootloader to install lineage os on my Xiaomi Redmi Note 4. But when I open the Mi Unlock Tool it doesnt recognize the phone in fastboot mode and the I cant press the unlock button. I have tried every precaution and step there is
1) I tried it even by installing developer rom
2)Installed every xiaomi driver and adb drivers. The device shows up when I do the fastboot devices command in platform tools but is not recognized in the unlock tool
3)enabled usb debugging, oem unlocking and linked my mi account to device.
4) Applied for permission and got the approval because i reach the unlock button in the unlock tool even though i didnt get a sms from them saying that i got the permission
5)tried it with another xiaomi phone (Redmi 3s) with all of the above steps nad another laptop still couldnt press the unlock button
6) The only time I was the unlock tool recognized my phone in fastboot and allowed me to press the unlock button was when I installed an older version of The MI Unlock Tool. Even then it got stuck at 50% saying " Couldnt verify device need to update the unlock tool from mi.com/unlock.
Please help me I am really tired of MIUI and its bugs. I have spent hours trying to solve the problem and I simply cant find a solution
Thanks in Advance
There r 3 dots at the top of mi unlock tool press that and there is something called drivers click thst it will scan and if not installed just press thr button it will be installed

for some reason i can t unlock bootloader my redmi 3 pro via xiaomis unlock tool, it stucks at %50 all the time, i need to root it, for that i have to unlock bootloader, how can i do it ?
I'm afraid this isn't possible. If there was a way to unlock quickly, anybody would hardly use MiUnlick yet.
1. Download latest fastboot China dev ROM
2.install latest MiFlash tool
3. Reboot the phone to fastboit mode
4. Flash the extracted ROM
5. Boot and setup Xiaomi account
6 reboot to fastboot mode again
7.Run MiUnlock
You need to have unlock right on your account approved odcourse

Hello all... has anyone managed to unlock kate device with official method? i am trying and gets stuck at 50%....
if yes how?
Few days ago search something about 50% bug and it`s seems that till today nobody unlock Kate with official way. Yet here is probably only unofficial method http://en.miui.com/thread-345728-1-1.html Or you can wait till Xiaomi remove this bug.

Hello, I unlocked my kate version the official way. First I unlocked it using unofficial method, but I got the permission to unlock the bootloader. I flashed the "Global Developer" fastboot rom using MIFlash, which locked my bootloader. Then, I rebooted my device into fastboot mode and unlocked it using the MiFlash Unlock tool.

Did you setup Mi account on the device after ROM flashed or just restarted to Fastboot after cleanboot?

Yes, I did setup MI account(the one on which I requested the permission) and synced it once before booting the device into the fastboot mode. Make sure to enable OEM unlock and USB debugging before fastboot.

did u also associate the xiaomi id with the phone under Mi unlock status in dev options?
It is another step which is failing on my device. It says it can't verify the device and ask me to retry after 1 or 2 minutes, forever.

I did not. Just logged in the MI account while setting up the rom on first boot.
I just tried official way to unlock my kate with global developer rom last night and I was very happy that it worked on first attempt.
Hi guys,
Urgent help needed.
I got fedup from last 4 days trying to Unlock bootloader of my Redmi Note 3 Snapdragon (Kenzo). While unlocking bootloader getting error at 50% "Couldn't verify device (Not connected to Mi Phone)". Earlier I never faced this issue as Not connected to Mi Phone.
In August 2016, 1st time I unlocked bootloader officially. And after that more than 10 times I unlocked bootloader of my RN3.
From last 15 days I was using CM13.0, But 4 days ago I flashed Miui 8.0.1.0 via Edl method (Flash all selected), then tried to Unlock bootloader. Got the error "Couldn't verify device (Not connected to Mi Phone)"
Then flashed Miui 8.0.5.0 via Edl method (because unable to unlock bootloader). While unlocking bootloader, got the same error "Couldn't verify device (Not connected to Mi Phone)"
Tools / drivers installed on my Pc:
Mi flash 01.04.2016(64bit)
MiSetup3.2.1.3111_2717 (Mi PC Suite)
Adb driver adb-setup-1.4.3
& Already reinstalled the Adb driver adb-setup-1.4.3
Already searched on MI forum, couln't find any proper answer.
When I ran the same fastboot command (fastboot devices) on Zenfone 5 connected to Pc, it immediately shows Listed device.
But In fastboot mode, when I ran the command "fastboot devices" it shows nothing. [on my Redmi Note 3]
When I ran command "fastboot oem device-info" to check bootloader status, it shows Waiting for device.
Tried every possible way I know, but no success.
Kindly help me in this regard.
Thanks in advance.

Most probably your device is not recognized as a fastboot device.... please ensure that fastboot drivers for your kenzo are installed and not corrupted and if it does not help try on some other PC and don't forget to disable drive signature enforcement

Hi,
Thanks for your helpful reply
Finally unlocked bootloader succesfully. The problem is with adb drivers on my Windows 10 64bit Pc. Earlier I had done with unlocking several times, never faced driver issue on fastboot mode. But from last 4-5 days suddenly my RN3 was not responding to any fastboot commands.
Followed this:
In Device Manager under Kedacom USB Device shows up. Under which, Android Bootloader Interface should be present. Installed minimalist ADB and fastboot (minimal_adb_fastboot_v1.3.1_setup) and right clicked Android Bootloader Interface. Clicked Update Driver Software, browsed computer, and then clicked the option to list driver files already present on my drive. It pulled up a fastboot driver that's an older version than the one I currently have. Installed that and fastboot commands started working again.
Hope this help other users also, who are facing (Not connected to Mi Phone) or Waiting for device when initiate fastboot command like "fastboot oem device-info".
Please close this thread.
Thanks

Thanks for your help dude finally unlocked and rooted my device

Hello,
so I have got permission to unlock my redmi note 3, when i put my phone into fastboot mode and connect it to the computer,it gets recognized in the mi flash app,but as soon as I hit 'Unlock' , nothing happens as a message is displayed saying 'device not found'.Also in the mi unlock program I can't login using my number which is registered, I have to use my email Id or mi account number..
Help needed
Install MI PC Suit and Universal Adb drivers. After connecting your device you'll hopefully see your device as android bootloader interface in device manager of you PC.
Google for MI PC Suit and Universal Adb drivers
For you can't login. Try to login in browser first n when you login successfully use the same creds in Flash Unlock Tool
If it does not work for you just use the guide in my signature. There are no downsides installing custom roms with locked bootloader.
my friend's redmi note 3 kenzo version just got stucked on fastboot screen because he tried to flash the device recklessly and now he can't do anything about it except turning it off, when he tried to turn it on again it's flashing mi logo and then shutdown, the only thing he can do is to hold the power + volume down button and get to fastboot screen, stucked there and that's it.
he ask me to fix his phone but i'm new to xiaomi customization world, the thing that i learn so far is :
1. this device is kenzo version (i don't even know what's the difference with the kate version)
2. i cannot flash using the miflash tool because it's getting the "remote: partition flashing is not allowed" message
3. i tried to unlock the bootloader using any kind of software and adb tool and i keep getting "remote: token verification failed" message
now, i got stuck and i don't know what to do anymore. what i know is i have to unlock the bootloader to move on to the next step, does anyone know how to solve my problem?
redmi note 3 is Mediatek device
redmi note 3 pro can be Kenzo or Kate (Qualcomm device)
Kenzo has 150mm
Kate 152mm
What file flash your friend? what is recklessly? (you try to write recovery?)
you try with mi flash?
or flash with fastboot?
http://en.miui.com/download-301.html#438
i don't know what ROM or methods he used to flash his device, but when he gave it to me the condition is as i mentioned earlier.
i tried flashing with miflash, got the message "remote: partial flashing is not allowed"
i tried flashing manually with adb tools, i got the same message
i googled for a bit and found out i need to unlock the bootloader, i can't do that since i can't get to developer option to enable "oem unlock"
what can i do now?
Unlock bootloader unofficialy HERE
I dont try that.
You can use EDL mode? HERE
Install rom/recovery with locked Bootloader ... HERE
I never use EDL MODE but is your solution (i think)
Good luck, if my comment help you hit thanks button

Only solution is Flash fastboot rom in edl mode. Coz May be ur device is relocked.
i found something while googling, and found this tool called "Android fastboot reset tool v1.2" there is an option to go to EDL mode there, but when i clicked "enter EDL mode" it says failed and the device just turned off, and that's it
there is some function i don't understand though like "reset FRP" or something
See my post i give you some links... The second have moded fastboot (for PC) with this method you can enter to EDL.
If not probably you need a test point method.
i've tried the link to go into EDL mode that you provided, it says "your device rebooted to EDL mode sucessfully" but the device is shutting down, and when i check "fastboot devices" on adb, it showed blank, so the conclusion is, i can't even go to EDL mode.
what do i do now?
http://en.miui.com/thread-650726-1-1.html
Search EDL mode kenzo or redmi note 3 pro
