Hi there. I was following a guide on how to unlock the bootloader for the xiaomi redmi note 3 pro and it failed on the last step as i entered fastboot oem-unlock go
now when i rebooted the phone, it started up a new setup process and in the end it says my phone is locked to another mi account and that i cannot access it without the password. according to the miui forums there is a way to bypass this, but when i start extracting the .tgz file, i dont get the same files as listed and when i try to flash it again using miflash, it says files missing and i cannot proceed.
How do i get this issue fixed up so that i can get my phone back to at least function without all headache? I have flashed and unlocked a nexus device before but it never gave me such issues. Thanks in advance
(unfortunately it seems that i cannot post outside links as its a new account)
i managed to unbrick my phone, but going through the unlock process, after i enter fastboot oem unlock-go it would give me the result of Failed: token verification failed. how should i proceed

Try flash latest developer rom then use unlock tool!
Hi all:
I came to this forum in search for help with mi xiaomi redmi 3 pro.
I bought this phone a few weeks ago, and so far i'm really very happy with it, but unfortunately the rom installed has not my language completely, some parts are in PT/BR and aome in english.
So I would like to install the EU rom that has the full portuguese package included.I have already taken the first steps.Asked to xiaomi permission to unlock bootloader, which was already granted, but this step is my firs problem.I follwoed all the instructions connected the phone in FASTBOOT mode to the PC but whenever it reaches the 50% I get a message saying: "couldn't verify device-not connected to MI phone.try again"
Someone told that this is because I don't have the CHINA DEV installed, and this is my 2nd problem.I have downloaded the last china developer to my phone, I go to config-update-choose update package then I select the downloaded version, but then again I get the message error : can't verify update !!!
And this is it, i'm really blocked !! what to do ?? do I have to root my phone using something like KingoRoot and lose my warranty ??
PLease help me.
Modified bootloader
Try this modified bootloader and then flash xiaomi.eu ROM
sSo if I understood it right I have to do this:
Installation :
1. Unrooted device
- download file ido-TWRP-3.0.2.0-miflash.zip
- extract and flash using miflash in download mode
this will also install official TWRP 3.0.2.0 to the device
and next step I have to instal the xiaomi.eu rom. right ??
Ok after reading a lot I found that to do that I need a PC with a 64 bit windows (mine is 32 )
Besides that for any strange reason I can't onstall the drivers !!!
Hloo everyone. I applied for bootloader unlock on 21-6-2016 and received confirmation message on 24-6-2016. But I didn't tried to unlock my bootloader for 2 months. Now , after 2 months when I am trying to unlock, I am receiving the 50% error. Can it be because I didn't tried for 2 months. If so then should I apply with a different account? Or should I wait for some more time?
I am using MIUI 8 6.8.18 Beta.
it might be related to a driver problem, install mi pc suite , then with the phone plugged into usb boot into both recovery and fastbook letting the drivers install both times, then try to unlock again.
i tried what you told but still getting the error
I possibly remember that it had to be done within 30 days, however, do not worry, you may wish to try the unofficial method.
One thing you could try is to uninstall all drivers on your PC and then install Mi PC Suite which has all the necessary drivers. Also you can try with the SIM with which you obtained permission inserted in the phone.
As for the 30 day period, it is there to prevent bulk unlocking of phones by resellers. Using your account, you can unlock one device per 30 days.
I m getting same error and stucked on 50% too. But i did some steps and everything gonna fine
First go to mi cloud find device on pc and remove all other xiaomi device.only leave the device which u are using.
Now try to find your device. If it is working then download a global devloper recovery rom and put it in your device in root storage
Now backup everything on your device
Now go to miupdater app in phone and install the downloaded global devloper rom
After successful installation login your mi account which u have permission
And now just after 20-30 after u logged in your account to the phone. Boot it into fastboot mode.
Connect your device with pc with original data cable
Open that unlock tool
Login your id which have Permission(both ids must be same phone and tool ids)
When phone connected click on unlock
And now it will successfully unlock your phone withot error
This worked for me at 100% success rate.
Follow steps on your own risks.
Tell me for any help.
Hi everyone,
This is starting to really do my head in, considering I unlocked, flashed and rooted Redmi 3S on first try and in a few minutes.
I managed to unlock bootloader of Redmi Note 4 SD after finally installing correctly usb fastboot drivers (using MiFlash). I flashed TWRP 3.2.2.0, flashed OPT patch and SuperSU, and got a TWRP bootloop (phone always booted into TWRP).
Using MiFlash, I flashed Global Dev Rom and then phone updated by ota to latest 7.6.29. HOWEVER, stupid of me, I flashed rom with option checked of Clean All and Lock, accidentally locking bootloader again.
I try to unlock phone again with Mi Unlock Tool, log into my account succesfully and Tool doesn´t detect phone. Drivers are installed but Tool says Phone Not Detected. I unplug and plug usb cable to all ports and nothing.
However if I use older version of Mi Unlock Tool 1. 1, it detects phone but when I unlock ,it stops at 50% saying Couldn´t Verify Device. Account is bound to phone and I´m logging in with correct details.
Does one need to apply to Xiaomi again for a second unlock?? Driver problem? Account problem?
Anyone have any ideas? I would like to flash TWRP and root phone to be able to fix once and for all that FRIGGIN audio mic noise cancellation when recording videos, seeing as Devs don´t develop a rom with that huge bug patched.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Cheers!!
Did you try it? https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-4/how-to/bootloader-unlock-variants-to-read-t3565459 Read also second post, you should turn on oem unlock, and one apply for one phone.
Thanks buddy, tried all that, but I have posted in that specific bootloader thread to see if someone has an answer.
Cheers friend!
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 ?
