I've waited 17 days after linking my Mi account to my Mi8L. I've unlocked more than half a dozen Xiaomi phones, so it's not new to me. However, it stops at 99% and spits out an error message in Chinese. Does anyone know what it means? https://drive.google.com/open?id=1dl6tPZdx7HfFwxQWel3hhjl9doFE5s8S
It means you haven't been using the phone for the necessary amount of time, so unlock isn't possible.
You're probably on a shop or chinese variant that need you to wait 30 days until unlocking.
Sorry for my bad english
Also, check this thread:

It's strange because when I tried previously, it told me I had to wait 15 days, and I waited longer than that (I took note of the date and time).
Same with me.
Use Mi Unlock 2.3.803.10 (old version).
Works perfectly.
I do not know if you can help me, I was unlocking the Mi 8 Lite requested 15 days to wait after this period I was unlocking and to my surprise the fastboot mode when I connect the USB cable it erases and I can not unlock.
Developer options enabled, usb debugging enabled and oem unlocking also recognizes more when I log in to fastboot it shuts off

Try starting the process from adb, don´t use hardware buttons and see what happens.
With device on connect to pc and pay attention that pops up a message "Allow USB debugging" then tap on "always allow" and "ok".
Now type
Code:
adb devices
to see if pc is recognicing and if it is ok type
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
.
Open normally MiFlash Unlock and sign in to your account and follow the scrren on instructions. Provide some screenshots if something fails.

I'm not sure if you're doing it rightly. Adb works when device is on and fastboot when device is in bootloader/fastboot mode.
When you type for first time adb devices with device power on then you have to see a message from your android screen asking if you want to allow USB debugging, you have to tap on always allow and then in ok.
Provide some screenshot from your pc to see the fail.

Ok, your pc is not detecting your device connected in fastboot mode.
Try uninstalling all the drivers; those that you don´t use and those related with Xiaomi devices and install Mi PC Suite just to get installed the drivers https://mipcsuite.com open it for first time and connect it with your device on just to update drivers between both but when you´ll go to use MiFlash Unlock close it.
The USB cable used for your device is not to be shared with other devices so any of them creates a kind of data map on data wires and pc can have a sort of mistake trying to detect your device rightly.
Then to make all these steps start the process from adb as mentioned before sending with adb command to your device to bootloader/fastboot mode, this is just to confirm that pc is detecting it at both levels; adb and fastboot.

Of course, this is what´s written.
When PC detects device connected on fastboot or download mode then it holds it to avoid that it reboots while some data is transferring from and to each other.
If you put device on fastboot mode without connecting it to any PC then it will shutdown in 4 seconds aprox.
But like your case when PC detects that a device is connected but not in any transferring mode then it prompts to shutdown device.
For this I said that your PC is not recognicing it at fastboot mode, and installing again the drivers could solve the issue.

As the title reads, I am stuck in a bootloop I guess coming from uninstalling more system apps than was probably wise.
I tried to flash via Mi Flash but I get a "can't flash a locked phone" error.
I also tried to connect to Mi PC Suite on Fastboot but it doesn't recognize the phone as connected (although the PC itself does and Mi Flash did too).
What options do I have?
Much appreciated,
Ultimatum
SOLUTION:
Download latest Fastboot ROM and decompress
Download and install MiFlash
Open MiFlash
Shut down the phone
Power on with Power + Vol Up.
Download Mode
Connect phone to computer, let it install the drivers if necessary
Refresh MiFlash, phone should show up (for me, Device showed as COM 10)
Browse the ROM
Tick Flash all except data and storage
Advanced > clear nvflash_all.bat
Flash
Enjoy!

have you tried to re-install the Driver? make sure that you only use win 64 bit for flashing, many issues occurred when you try to flash using win 32 bit
I am using Windows 10 64 bit. Moreover, I have installed ADB drivers separately (although these seem to come with the Mi Flash utility too).
I think it's intended behavior not to be able to flash via Fastboot with the bootloader locked? I was hoping to be able to restore via Mi PC Suite but it can't seem to see the phone, although the computer does and Mi Flash does too.
try using Mi PC Suite, http://en.miui.com/thread-92720-1-1.html, After Mi PC Suite is installed, make sure that your phone is in fastboot mode, connect your phone to a computer, and select the correct ROM file to flash
"I also tried to connect to Mi PC Suite on Fastboot but it doesn't recognize the phone as connected (although the PC itself does and Mi Flash did too)."
For some reason, Mi PC Suite is not detecting the phone.

Hello there,
I faced the same situation, but unfortunately in download mode, the phone is not detected in MiFlash, it detected as QHSUSB_BULK in Windows. Phone is detected while in fastboot and normal mode, but not in download mode. Do you have any idea what to do?
I expect this is a driver issue, but I can't figure out what.. I'm using Windows 64 bit, disabled driver signature enforcement, and installed all driver from MiFlash installation (there were 3 of driver notification prompt).

You need to update QHSUSB_BULK to the Qualcomm driver.
Device Manager > Select QHSUSB_BULK > Update Driver Software > Find manually the location of the driver, most likely: C:\Program Files (x86)\Xiaomi\MiPhone\Qualcomm\Driver
The driver should now appear as Qualcomm something, and Mi Flash should be able to see the phone.
Does this work?

Hi,
Thank you for the help. Unfortunately it doesn't work straight away, fortunately this leads me to the right direction, after I tried to point the driver to Xiaomi directory, a window dialog says the driver is 32 bit thus noninstallable for my PC, then I looked around for 64 bit driver for Qualcomm, installed it. I can finally install the driver but the phone is detected as unknown USB device, after removing it from Device Manager, restarted my PC, and tried again, it's still the same, on the third try it finally detected properly. It's working now, thank you very much.
Really weird why did MiFlash comes with noninstallable driver.

you have to flash in edl mode not fastboot so google on how to take redmi 3s into edl mode then you can flash the rom in locked bootloader.in redmi 3 we use volume up and volume down and power button.press all three at the same time and it will take u to edl mode.screen becomes all black but if you plug it to ur computer and press refresh in miflash then it will show as com 10 or 20.thats for redmi 3.maybe redmi 3s has the same steps

Can yousuggest any seller or website if you ever came across selling dfc cable? Deep flash method is the only last resort for my problem other than sending phone to service centre. Could you suggest any website to make dfc cable manually?;as I have searched youtube but non of the method mentioned in it seemed liable to me.

You don't need deep flash cable use button combo to put in edl mode. From device manager update driver for QHSUSB_BULK. \After that reboot pc with driver signature disabled, then open mi flash and phone should be recognised. Just found the thread I used to remove vendor rom.

I cant because phone isn't recognised from miflash. I can only enter fastboot mode but cant flash with locked bl. :/
Also reboot edl doesnt work because pc doesn't recognise my phone.
it's not clear what "not recognize your phone" looks like, but let's try these simplified steps.
prerequisite: your phone is redmi note 3 pro (qualcomm cpu), windows 64bit, mi flash version 20160401, you've downloaded fastboot ROM.
step 1 install mi flash on your pc
step 2 reboot your pc
step 3 enable usb debugging on your phone
step 4 connect your phone to your pc
step 5 in command windows, run adb devices
step 6 authorize your pc on your phone
step 7 in command windows, run adb reboot edl
step 8 launch miflash
step 9 choose rom
step 10 flash
Check device manager in your pc and report back on whether it shows your phone under portas as Qualcomm 9008 port or 900e port (try and enter edl mode with the button press trick).

Like the pc isn't powered on. That's why i can't run adb devices and furthermore reboot edl. Also i can't access usb mode in 6.5.12 stable dev rom, through settings and every app that i checked. Its like the usb mode selector app crashes. sorry for my english... i hope you understand me

while, did you follow what I've written?
or maybe you can try these first: factory reset your phone, then when you connect your phone to pc, you should use the original usb cable coming with your phone, do not use other usb cable even it worked for other phones.
then follow steps I've mentioned.
if successful, after step 7, you should see this in device manager windows.

I have just got my phone today and have spent 5 hours trying to get to the point where the mi unlock software tells me to wait 72 hours.
I put my phone in fastboot mode and as soon as I connect it to the computer it disappears. Tried 5000 different ways to do this and even
wiped my pc with a clean install of windows but no matter what my phone is not recognized in the unlock tool. Please steer me in the right direction.
I'm sure I'm not the first person with this issue.
If I remember correctly, the unlock tool has an installable driver in the settings option. That should make the phone detectable in fastboot

If I recall it right you just have to go to the mi unlock site and apply, the unlock is bouund to the mi account.
Have you tried a different usb port? Heard pocophone is finicky on usb 3.0, maybe use a usb 2.0 port.
Try another USB port. It solved for me.

If you are using AMD RYZEN, it won't recognise the phone. Use Intel or other AMD machines.

You see the problem is within windows 10. I boot phone in fastboot mode
and my phone goes to a black screen and phone becomes unrecognized in windows.

All my Xiaomi phones, including Poco F1, are recognized in Windows 10, and I've unlocked them all in Windows 10. So it shouldn't be Windows.
Why is your phone going to a black screen when you boot in fastboot mode ?
I don't know how to solve your problem though. I reboot my phone into fastboot while not connected to the PC, and it surely will show the fastboot animation screen. Then I plug in the cable to the PC, and the unlock tool will start its work.
Maybe redownload the MI unlocker tool ... or create a new MI account and re-bind that account under developer options ...
unlocking boot loader will wipe all the data right?
That is correct. You need to wait 3 days when unlocking the bootloader. That is Xiaomi's waiting period for the Pocophone.
Better than Samsung's 7 day wait, and better than LG's way of having to request an unlock key.

Are you putting the phone in bootloader mode, connect it to the PC and then opening the Mi Unlocker? The correct sequence is open the Unlocker, put your phone in bootloader mode and then connect it to the PC. Try it.
If still not working, open the adb command window on your PC, put your phone in bootloader mode and connect it to the PC. Now type "fastboot devices" (without the quotation marks). You should get a serial number with alphabets and numerals. If you get it, it is confirmation that your drivers for bootloader are working. Try this and let us know the result.
Lastly, try another PC.
Solved used windows 7 with usb 2.0 ports.
okay so, i just got this phone. did all updates, enabled bootloader unlocking and made my mi account, downloaded the mi unlock tool and everything.
heres where the problem comes in.
everytime i try the button combination to get into fastboot, it works. but then when i connect my phone to my computer, the fastboot splash screen turns black with little text at the top saying "press any button to shutdown" or something like that. it just wont stay on the fastboot screen, its like its exiting fastboot mode on its own.
why does it do this, and what can i do to fix it?
note: i have downloaded all drivers and software to get this to work, and nothing seems to be coming to light.
please help me, i am very confused.
update: actually, it seems to be fine before i open the mi unlock tool. it seems that when mi unlock tool is not open, it stays in fastboot mode, but as soon as i open mi unlock tool, it just kicks me out of fastboot mode, and goes to a black screen with something at the top saying the exact same thing i mentioned earlier.
Turn on the phone go into developer settings and enable usb debugging, im pretty sure that's it

i already have enabled usb debugging. but for some reason, it won't just stay in fastboot mode.
was thinking about calling xiaomi and seeing what they have to say. because i cant find anything on this matter, so its probably just something im doing wrong. though it may be my version of windows. i have Windows 8.1. so maybe thats the deal?
this is stressful lol
If I'm not mistaken, you should only connect the phone in fastboot mode when the program asks, not before you open it

i know, i did that too. but the problem still persists... ill try some other time.
thanks for helping though
First off this is much better place to ask questions. When phone is running and you connect to pc can you access storage?
If not check drivers, try different usb cable, and try different usb ports.
If yes then can you access the phone via adb?
If not it is a pc issue probably drivers.
If so leave phone booted and connected then open unlock software. Once software is up and running go to terminal/command prompt and type "adb reboot bootloader" without quotes.
I don't think it is windows version but with Microsoft anything is possible. I still use windows 7 for all this stuff.
Had the same problem on my Desktop with Ryzen, i tried it on my laptop with Intel Celeron and it worked from the first try without any drivers installed. If you have AMD that might be the cause
Hello.
My personal experience says:
1 Install Drivers on the PC/Laptop.
2 Activate DEVELOPER OPTIONS
3 Accept O E M Unlock
4 Allow usb debugging
5 Shut down Wi-Fi and use only DATA in order to connect - verify the device to the Mi account you have. When connected, press "understood" or ""accept"" (however it pops up).
6 Connect the phone to the PC/Laptop
7 After being connected, shut down the phone and put it in FASTBOOT. Make sure your PC ""reads"" your phone. Do it through command line/power shell, and make sure it shows up as alphanumeric in command line (i hope you know what to type - e.g fastboot devices)
8 Download and use the mi unlock tool (preferable Versions 2.....). Connect through this tool to your Mi account
9 Ask for permission to unlock // unlock your phone if days-hrs have passed. Ignore any pop-up message/warning and go on.
VERY IMPORTANT NOTES:
A. The phone must be recognized from the PC as ADB INTERFACE (in device manager) both in normal and Fastboot modes. Any other case is waste of time.......
B. Use a good cable and have the mobile charged!
C. In case you have another (older) device connected to your account, disconnect-delete it or else you will end up stuck with a ""cannot unlock message""
D. The process will not work if your PC runs some Win 10 versions as well as if built with RHYZEN PROCESSOR. Prefer PCs running win 7 or 8.
E. You must have DATA connection available or else you will not be able to connect-verify the phone to/through your Mi account !!! it is a new (dual function) fail - safe procedure from xiaomi!!!
F. Make sure you have the correct drivers installed to avoid a brick - bootloop etc
Hope it helps!
Gathered from my own experience!
To summarize: The xiaomi imposes too much rodeo and much time spent of the user to just "try" to unlock a simple bootloader, better to change of apparatus and to be happy with the practicality. lol
I am trying to unlock the bootloader on my phone. I allowed OEM and debugging options, restarted to fastboot and connect via usb to the pc. Now i open the official xiaomi bootloader unlocker (batch_unlock) but it shows an empty list. My device is not there. I don't know what to do... i facing this problem for a long time and have no clue of how to continue

What is showing into your device manager? Is it only android with an exclamatory function? If that so then just right click on it and install the latest usb driver MANUALLY. Hope this will help your problem
