Hello XDA.
Im trying to unlock the bootloader of my pocophone f1 but i can't
Im using the mi unlock tool to try and unlock it.
I have watched multiple tutorials and did everything but the unlock button on the mi unlock tool stays greyed out and i cant press it. it says "not connected to the phone" even though i have already installed the drivers, enabled oem unlocking in developer options and also enabled sync find my device.
What do i do ?
have you booted your poco in fastboot mode while trying to recognize it with mi unlock?
Same thing happened with me. Try on another computer or use windows 10.
Run program as administrator

Well i kind of fixed the problem.
I had to enable usb debugging.
But now when i press unlock it says Couldn't unlock After 71 hours of trying to unlock the device
Have you try with mi unlocker 2.3xx (use version 3.3xx with failed)?
I've got same problem before, then use version 2.3 and bootloader unlock running good at first attempt.

Yeah, that is the normal time frame... you have to initiate the unlock to start the timer for 72 hours (3 days). That is the time frame the Xioami requires before you can unlock the bootloader. Be thankful, because it used to be 1460 hours (2 months), but after requests, Xioami has lowered it to 3 days. Now that your timer has started, you just have to wait for 3 days. My 72 hours finally finished today, so I just finished unlocking and rooting my phone a few hours ago. It seems like forever, but be patient.
btw... the error message was lost in translation... it says "Couldn't unlock after [hours] of trying to unlock the device" but it is just a bad translation... It is telling you that it can not unlock the bootloader for another 71 hours in your case.
Restart Device

once the device is off then load into fastboot and hope it works."

Hi
I have a redmi note 3 Hennessy device and i attempted to unlock its bootloader using Mi unlock tool. However it is giving me the "Failed at 50% progress" error. I have permission and everything. Now i was wondering, is it mandatory to be on a MIUI developer ROM in order to successfully unlock the bootloader? Can i do it while i am not global stable rom?

i had the same issue, while you read online that u should do so many stages in order for this to work. all you have to do is wait!
just take yourself 10-11 days just to be safe, (mine was unlocked after 8, but i changes from person to person).
also just checking that u do have OEM unlock enabled in your settings, and ofcourse USB debugging, and that u have clockwork adb drivers on your PC.
hope i helped, let us know if it works after a few days
Thanks for your reply. However, I cant seem to find the option OEM unlock anywhere in settings. Where is it located?

You can find both options USB debugging and OEM-Unlock in developer options.
http://xiaomiadvices.com/miui-7-enable-developer-options-and-usb-debugging-on-xiaomi-android-phones/
If you still face the 50% issue after allowing oem unlocking and ADB interface, try uninstalling usb drivers from Device Manager, that helped me everytime.
I applied for unlocking bootloader and it was accepted. I logged via same account in MIFlashTool and in phone. When I try to unlock it just gets stuck @ 50% and an error pops up 'Current Account is Different from the Account Info on the Device Redmi/Mi'. I have disconnected my other mobiles from my main MI account. Debugging mode and OEM unlocking is ON. Needs to unlock bootloader to using custom ROMS( who doesn't!?)
Using Redmi Note 4 SD.
PS: Tried all the solutions in net, didnt worked.

Hey bud, wait few more days, dont try again and again youll get your device unlocked eventually.
That ''Account mis-matching error'' is being faced by everone who tried to unlock their bootloader after getting permissions from xiaomi. so, if you look closely there are multiple threads regarding unlockin bootloader. so, wait few more days, may be 5-7 days, then try unlocking your phone, it should work. :good::good:

Wait for a few days..like 4-5 days. Don't try to unlock during these days. Then unlock.
You are getting that error because Mi hasn't updated your permission status in the status.
Same thing happened with me.
And don't try unofficial unlocking methods.
UPDATE : Okay so i finally unlocked the bootloader finally. before the last try, i turned off the password/fingerprint lock and then it unlocked. everyone should try the same thing
I done every possible steps but nothing is happening! the bootloader unlock process always getting stuck at 99% and Account Bound error is coming on the PC and on the phone, "86012:*****" error showing on 'settings-additional settings-dev option-Mi Unlock status'.
I tried with 2 different Mi phone/account.
done with i.mi.com stuffs and find device, tried FlyVPN but there is no server of 'Shanghai"... etc!
Nothing is happeneing! I am a beta tester of MIUI 9 China, and see, i couldn't even unlock the bootloader yet! Wow! What a thing! Its been a week and so, still my bootloader is locked.
No help from Xiaomi.
I need a promising way to unlock. so help me.
See, I have unlocked three RN4 devices, none without the wait.
Had to wait 6-7 days for each one of them. There has been no luck for me in doing anything other than wait for 6-7 days after getting the permission.
But then, maybe something might work out for you.
The steps I tried or know of:
1. Being on the developer ROM is a must. Chances of unlocking bootloader from global stable MIUI are very slim.
2. Use old Mi Unlock tool. A quick google will land you there.
3. Don't change the accounts in the phone. You should be logged in with the account you got permission in.
4. Go to developer options and check "USB Debugging", "OEM Unlock" and one more option something sort of "USB Debugging Security".
5. Try to bind the account. It will yield a response with some code and Chinese text. Ignore it.
6. Use the original cable and use the ports on the back of the CPU.
7. Keep "Find my device" turned on. And log in to your account in your desktop and try locating your phone.
8. Now try unlocking.
I followed all the above steps I could find out from anywhere and I was able to do it.
In your case I do think you are either not in the developer build or you need to use the old Mi tool.

After removing fingerprints and password also - nothing doing. I had applied/received unlock permission from MI on Monday, and today is Wednesday, but it keeps showing "Could not unlock after 31 hours of attempt".. Dont know what that means since from my count, it is more than 42 hours
I want to root my 6months old redmi note 4, I've got the permission to unlock my phone, I got it 2 months back, now I'm trying to unlock it with the MI unlock tool(2.3.803.10), but the tool doesn't detect my device in fastboot mode, I tried it with another MI unlock tool(1.1.0315.1), which successfully detects my device and when I try to unlock it it stops at 50% asking me to update the software version, and when I try it on the updated version it doesn't detects my device. What's the problem here? I can see my device in fastboot mode in command prompt. Please help, I've tried so many times but unable to do it so far. I've installed all the drivers but it doesn't help.
Hi,
you are in a wrong section. Please post in correct one.
Anyway, as I remember you should be on developer rom to be able to unlock.
Go to official miui global web and check Developer rom installation instruction using Fastboot method. Then unlock.
This shouldn't be in dev subforum.
Btw try with different pc. I've got the same problem earlier. New mi unlock on my old laptop with win 7 32bit doesn't detect my phone, older one detected it but then stucked at 50%. Tried with my friends pc with win 10 64bit and works flawlessly. In my case i dont even need to be on dev rom, I've unlocked on global stable 9.0.5.0.

1. hold power and volume up to go to stock recovery. connect the phone to PC so that the driver gets installed automatically. then try unlovking again (from fastboot)
2. make sure you use a USB 2.0 port.

I did run into problems too. For me it was a driver issue on my Win7 64 bit PC.
As far as I recall, you need to check first, that the phone in fastboot is appearing in the device manager as "Android Bootlader Interface". I think there is also a check driver button in the MI unlock tool at top right corner. I hope that helps.
Folks I've been trying to unlock my bootloader, but I get stuck at 99%, saying my account is not bound to the device. I want to mention that I got my unlocking permissions on 23rd October 2017 , at that time I didn't try to unlock it. Please help me guys

Wait for a few days and then try again, that's the trick, just wait for 3-4 days!

Same thing alwas happening with me also . Wait for 4-5 days then try again . This happens because ur device info has still not uploaded to MI servers. Wait & try after 4 5 days will unlock for sure ?
After 72 hours required by the Xiaomi tool. It is still not possible to unlock the bootloader of my Pocophone F1. I'm with find device enabled, sync enabled, OEM unlock enabled, USB debugging enabled and Mi account connected. If anyone knows how to solve this problem, please tell me.
PS: My ROM is MIUI 10 Global Beta v8.12.7
That's weird. Have you tried unlocking when the 72 hours weren't over yet? Because if you try to it should show the amount of hours remaining. If it never showed that while trying to unlock within the 72h period it might be another problem. Maybe you can run the chinese text trough google translate, with a tool that converts an image to text (don't know of any but they probably exist).

Register your device phone number first from developer options. That might solve it.
In the new version of Mi Unlock says in English that I need to use my device for a few more days to be able to unlock the bootloader. But it does not say exactly how long, slowly I'm trying.

Try rebooting a few times. Add a fingerprint if you haven't already. Sync with Mi Cloud every time after you reboot. These things could add to your "usage score".

You are supposed to use the phone normally after making the request for bootloader unlock. Please also note that you should be logged into your mi account in your phone all the time. If you do that and also do a few syncs as suggested by another member, you are sure to get approved. There is no other way, you have to wait.

I reverted to my old phone after I made the unlock bootloader request and I was not logged in to my Mi account the whole time. I switched on the Poco about 2 weeks later and was able to unlock the bootloader with no problems. The trick for the OP is to not only register your email with your Mi account but also your phone number through settings.
I think that's what he is missing.

I'm pretty sure that's what he is missing. Solid advice.
If the above methods don't work, then just factory reset your device and repeat the steps! I'm sure it'll work
Had the same problem.
Unbounded my account and loged in again on the phone.
Now the tool works and i'm unlocked...
Try toggling off the OEM Unlock setting then toggle it on again.
I'm facing the same problem, I requested for unlock last weekend, tried yesterday to unlock (as well over the 72 hours) & was notified that I need to try again in 1 day. I also tried the various suggestions here, but nothing helped/worked.

If it is asking you to wait for a day? I suggest to wait for a day, bottomline is there is no alternate to it, as far as I saw, go step by step, shall wait and see, should work fine
Best to insert the sim card to poco phone and using it for there days after bootloader unlock applied.
