Bootloader Issue (India) - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers

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.

Unlock Bootloader Stuck at 50%

Problem = Couldnt verify device
Device = Redmi note 3
Rom = Stable global 7.2.3.0
Mi Account ID = 1555256607
Mi Unlock Version =1.1.0317.1_en
Use miflash to flash dev china and unlock it, after unlocked bootloader use fastboot flash method to combe back whatever rom you want
you can't unlock on Global ROM although the official guide says yes.
I tried it hundreds of times, changing this, changing that, and all failed
Just flash to China Dev ROM to unlock
I just tried 1 times and instant success
I tried with china developer rom 6.4.14 still same problem...

Did you tried to wipe cache from device before procceding to unlock?Did you used multiple accounts on this device?Be sure that you use the same account both device and on browser
I reset the mobile and tried only one account i have..
Have you logged in your miui account in the phone? Because the same thing happened to me, the phone needs to be logged in to your miui account, not only the computer program, but the phone also.
S i logged in and even downloaded one theme..
some people say it got solved by using the Redmi usb cable you got in your box. or using an england VPN.
This is a frustrating issue, I guess lot of people are facing this. I have got the permission few days back but am facing the same issue as OP. I have tried everything mentioned on this forum, MIUI forum and what not. I am currently on China Dev ROM, unfortunately it still does not work. One last thing which might be the actual issue is that even after getting permission from Xiaomi, it takes a few more days to sync this to their servers. I have read many people saying they gave up but when they tried after 5-6 days, it worked. So I am hoping it will work for me too in the next 5-6 days
I am too fed up of unlocking bootloader, i got the permision on starting of april still i cant unlock,.. now i am back global stable rom will try in few days.
On PC try this steps:
1.disable driver signature enforcement permanently
2.disable user account control
3.disable smart screen protection
4.disable any security solution like AV Suite,Firewall,even WIndows inbuilt firewall
5.check if your Windows Management Instrumentation service running
6.right click on MiUNLOCK exe and run as administrator
This is perhaps the most disturbing and irritating thing to have happened to me in my experience of rooting and owing Android smartphones. The process which seems simple is perhaps the most complicated and uncalled for. I have used phones form "Novice manufactures" to Super manufactures like Karbonn, Micromax, Samsung, HTC, Sony, LG, OnePlus. They all have been tricky but yet did the job as promised. Easiest was unlocking my Oneplus2, did it the very day i got my phone. HTC and Sony were tricky and a little complicated but once the process started, they were executed to perfection. I do not understand why Xioami had to screw up this big time. I got the permission but have tried everything possible; however, just not successful. Will wait for a while and get back to unlocking in a weeks time
i did got the permission yesterday tried on global stable rom its not happening will be flashing china stable rom and then moving to developer version via updater app, just wanted to confirm should i follow this guide http://en.miui.com/thread-235865-1-1.html
or is there any other way to go
i have 2 freakin accounts with unlock permissions tried each and every damn step out there on xda and miui forums tried 2 different computers still it says info on the device is different than the current account. god knows what on earth will unlock the bootloader
sorry to revive this old thread, but did you try after 5-6 days and did it actually work to unlock the bootloader with the official way?
This is the most irritating thing with Xiaomi. I've tried every guide and thread on MIUI forums but to no avail. Those idiots at MIUI forums are worthless. They only know to spam forums with "thank you" and "nice" instead of making productive discussion. Many people are facing the same problem with BL unlock and the administrators must be probably aware of the issue. What are they doing for so long? They should have released a new version of mi unlock tool already with the fix or whatever is the issue with their servers, I don't know. I just need to unlock my bootloader officially.
Have you guys checked if "fastboot" command works while in the fastbood mode? Try "fastbood devices" first, does it display the attached device successfully?

Bootloader unlock issue

I have a Redmi note 3 snapdragon from Amazon.in. I have applied for the bootloader unlock request and it was successful. But when I try to unlock it just got struck at 50 and then thrown me an error that my device couldn't be verified because I have different accounts on pc and mobile, while I had the same account logged in in both the devices. I'm on global 7.3.7 rom and the bootloader page say we can unlock with global rom. Any idea why or anyone facing the same issue?
same error. Using global stable rom.
I tried for a few weeks and decided to give up. Read somewhere you should have dev rom to unlock the bootloader, but I'm lazy to try.
But some of my friends couldn't unlock even with the dev rom. Some managed to unlock on global rom
tried 50 times didn't unlocked updated to miui 8 and done ...don't know what's the trick but m sure version changes do work..

How long did it take for you to unlock the bootloader after confirmation sms

So let the topic said how long does it take for you to unlock your bootloader after getting sms confirmation for unlocking permission in other words how many days after you got sms confirmation was the mi unlock tool stuck in 50% device verification error (the mi account in the device was not the same)
Also is there any tip to hasten the process......
(Creepy Think I got My device unlocked 2 hours after writing this post, waited for 4 week to unlock my device after getting confirmation sms)
i never got a sms or an email. after a week or so i just checked my account and if had got permission to unlock the device

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.

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.

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:
