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.

Do not forget to back up data. It will be a clean install.

- Unlocked the device with the MiFlash unlock tool.
MiFlashUnlock(version: 1.1111.1)
Open the unlock tool and put the phone into fastboot mode(Volume down and power key together).
Connect your device via USB cable and wait for the tool to detect your phone.
Press the unlock option in the tool.
Press reboot when the tool says.
Check the bootloader status under: Settings>> Additional settings>> Developer options>> Lock status.
That's it. This is how I unlocked the bootloader. I hope it will work for you.

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.
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.
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
I wanted to revert back to miui 10 , so i flashed the fastboot rom via miflash tool. But it locked my bootloader. Now when i try to unlock the bootloader again from the same mi account on my redmi note 4. I get this error in chinese which roughly translates to “ UNABLE TO UNLOCK WHEN THE PHONE IS NOT USED FOR SPECIFIED TIME”
Like how much time i have to wait? I have unlock permissions and have unlocked my phone a momth ago.
