Hi guys,
yesterday I received my Note 3 Pro Kenzo (SD) from Gearbest.
There was an old MIUI-version installed that wasn't really localized to German (maybe a shop-ROM), so I decided to install an up-to-date version of MIUI.
I downloaded the "Redmi Note 3 Qualcomm Latest Global Stable Version Fastboot File Download" from here, which seems to be V8.0.1.0.LHOMIDG (MIUI8), put my phone in fastboot mode (in EDL-mode it didn't work, MiFlash didn't find my phone) and installed the ROM with MiFlash. Everything is working now, localization is perfect and the phone runs smooth.
The only strange thing is, that I haven't been able to unlock the bootloader officially yet, wether with the "old" ROM-version nor with the latest Global Stable MIUI8.
On MIUI7 the unlock-tool said, I don't need an unlock(?), on MIUI8 it says my phone is not permitted (or something similiar), even if I have the confirmation-SMS from Xiaomi (that was on August 19th) and I'm logged in into my Mi-account on the phone and in the unlock-tool.
Am I doing something wrong? Here it's said that it should be possible to unlock using the offical way with my new ROM.
Or do I have to be on another ROM to unlock my bootloader?
Background is that I want to try out different ROMs, so I need to install TWRP first - and I absolutely need root-access!
Can I flash TWRP over adb without unlocking?
Any help from you is really much appreciated.
Thanks a lot and best regards
Mischa
You need unlocked bootloader to flash TWRP to the device
Did you follow the steps here?

Thanks for the link, this looks really useful!
Is it right that I can stay on my Global Stable (Fastboot) ROM? Or do I have to flash the Global Beta Recovery ROM?
Guys, I need some help!
My phone is only found from MiFlash when it's in Fastboot-mode. When I put it in EDL-mode MiFlash can't find it.
EDIT: BTW, I just found this in my MiFlash-log:
Code:
[23:16:02]:install driver C:\Program Files (x86)\MiFlash\Source\ThirdParty\Google\Driver\android_winusb.inf to ,result False,GetLastWin32Error Unknown error (0xe000024b)
What does it mean? My phone is found with "adb devices" and the adb-drivers seems to be okay
The "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008"-driver is installed and shown in the device manager when I executed "adb reboot edl".
My phone seems to be in EDL-mode with black screen and blinking red LED.
Right now I'm running Global Stable (Fastboot) V8.0.1.0.
I had to install this ROM also when I was in Fastboot-mode, cause only then MiFlash found my phone (same problem), not in EDL-mode.
Do you have any idea what went wrong?
Worst thing is that I can't flash any ROM using this way anymore, cause MiFlash now says "phone is locked" when I try to flash anything in fastboot mode. Also recovery ROMs are not usable with updater-app (maybe because my bootloader is still locked).
So, seems like I'm caught: I can't unlock my bootloader, I can't flash any other ROM, I can't root and can't install TWRP - I'm stuck on Global Stable V8.0.1.0
I really appreciate any help from you!
Best regards and thanks a lot
Mischa
EDIT: SUCCESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It finally worked
What I did? I used MiFlash V2016.04.01 (instead of the lastest version from August 30th), which I got from here: http://xiaomitips.com/download-in-progress/?dlm-dp-dl=1474 (I hope it's allowed to post links here, otherwise PM me for downloading it from my Google Drive).
After I installed it, it re-installed the Qualcomm-drivers - and with this version I was finally able to see my phone in EDL-mode.
I also found out that only with this version you could set the advanced settings in MiFlash, cause in the newest version this option is not available anymore.
BTW, after every attemp to unlock the bootloader officially failed, I now unlocked it successfully using the unofficial way.
Best regards

Hi,
In most cases you just need to wait a bit for the Xiaomi servers to sync up.
But, It could be your device is not being detected properly & in this case try installing the PDAnet drivers:
http://pdanet.co/bin/PdaNetA4197.exe
Install*PDAnet drivers on your PC, and follow the installation process. Even if your PC says you have ADB drivers installed, go ahead and install these. DO NOT SKIP USB INSTALL, otherwise drivers will be installed just for bluetooth, which is not*what you want. Select "other" when asked about the make of the phone.
Reboot your PC then try to unlock again.
Let me know if this works for you.

How to unlock bootloader?
Do i have to root my phone?
please, see this post, let me know if helped

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 ?
Hello friends of XDA, I have a big problem between hands, I have a MOTO Z and I had it in android 7.0 since last year the update to andorid 7.1.1 did not arrive and I felt that with android 7 the battery was consumed very quickly, so I tried to find the update to flash it and just about 3 days ago I found it, I proceeded to download it and flash it in fastboot and adb.
The thing is that a few months ago, browsing through my phone (I had already rotated it, and unlocked the bottloader, I decided to re-block the bootloader, and remove the root, which never worked at 100) I got into the developer options, and I saw an option that until then I didn't know about its "OEM Unlock"function, as it was turned on and deactivated because I thought it didn't work.
Returning to the update flashing I proceeded as usual, with the commands, I proceed to restart the device and show the image of the boot of motrola but then it shows me a message in red letters.
"Startup Failed"
"failed to pass validation, backup to fastboot.
I thought it was a compatibility problem with the downloaded version of 7.1.1 so again I decided to flash the stock rom 7.0 but when I finished and restart the same message appeared.
I started to investigate and it seems that the OEM blockade is responsible for not being able to install any Stock Rom, or anything, and now I have a nice brick with Moto mods and I can't use it.
I wanted to unlock OEM in fastboot but nothing. sends message from "ALLOW OEM UNLOCK IN SETTINGS"
There is way to unlock the OEM from pc or fastboot without needing to be unlocked from the android settings, as in my case it is impossible for me,
I'd be very grateful for your help friends, I know it's a bit tedious to read but it's the only phone I have and I feel weird without it on the street.:bueno::bueno::llorando:
I'm with same problem here!

Try to boot in Fastboot flash twrp and flash ressurection remix rom. It's great rom. Forget about locking. I had the same problem like you as I was trying to flash stock ROM and lock bootloader.
I gave up on this.

Well, when the root didn't work properly, I flashed the phone again and blocked the bootloader. Will I still be able to install TWPR or should I lose my phone?

What do you mean with "I blocked my bootloader"?
Twrp is easy to flash. Root is integrated in ressurection remix rom. And this rom is great. Just try to flash twrp in Fastboot and than ressurection remix with twrp.
Can you boot in Fastboot?
Do you remember what build of 7.1.1 you had on your device before downgrading to 7.0?
If so, I would suggest finding that firmware (the full stock firmware, not OTA updates) or newer if you can, and try to flash that. Since your bootloader is still likely from the 7.1.1 build, a locked bootloader will only permit files matching the same patch level (i.e. from the exact same stock ROM as that bootloader patch) to boot.
If not, then unfortunately there's not a lot we can do. You could wait for a newer firmware to get leaked, but as your device is unable to boot (due to failing the bootloader checks) and you cannot toggle OEM unlocking because you cannot boot, it's a nasty vicious circle that is difficult to get out of. You may have to consider sending your device for service and pay for an expensive motherboard replacement otherwise, since Motorola have a record of your device being unlocked. Your service centre experience may vary.
Only lock a bootloader after ensuring you've flashed all the stock firmware and it is all the same patch level as your bootloader. Hopefully you'll find newer firmware that you can repair with.

I solved it, I finally flashed the stock rom to my phone and it works.
Apparently my pc was not flashing the stock rom in adb, and the phone turned off when loading the software. I did it 3 times until I load correctly and start well.
if you have the same problem apparently then OEM Blocking is not responsible. You have to flash the most current rom or the one that you had by default when the brick happened to you, you flash it in a normal way with commands of adb and ready, I would have to come back to life.
download from firmware center MotoZ Griffin the most current rom stock at 7.1.1

Thanks for your help friend, I finally flashed it with a recent android 7.1.1 update. Apparently the OEM lockout was not the culprit, but it was an interrupted flash of android 7.1.1 at some point when loading the software to the phone, it would shut down on its own and not complete the installation, which showed me the mentioned message. I didn't realize that and thought it was the OEM blockade.
I finally did it on another pc and it worked. the phone came back to life.
I have one Moto Z2 Force (XT1789-05), bought from coolicool.com, I didn't know device came Unlocked Bootloader, Device rom had problem with many apps, I googled and found one topic in XDA developer to Install Stock Rom, I downloaded and Installed India Rom, it's worked somehow fine, but still had problem, I downloaded Verizon Rom, Android 8, after Installed Android 8 Verizon Rom, Locked device bootloader immediately, now device stuck at Welcome Wizard in Android 8, after select language I got this message: (Please wait, this may take a few minutes) this is proof video (http://ahmn.co/Upload/IMG_0161.MOV), after this issue, device already locked, I can't unlock, because need to go to the Developer Option in Setting, I stucked in Welcome Wizard, there isn't any bypass, So, I start to search in Google, XDA-Forum, Android Central and more, I created many threads, many requests, no one can't help me, I tried to reach google developer support to the tell to me how can I bypass Android 8 Welcome Wizard, there is must be a way, but I can't find it, now I can access to Android Recovery and Bootloader
1. if you help me to FORCE UNLOCK device without need Developer Option in setting my problem will solve
