There's none at the moment until Black Shark itself officially releases the tools for flashing, including the ROMs themselves.

No problem. But if I were you, I'd stick to CN ROM as it is more stable and always been updated than Global.
Thanks I understand..I downloaded Google play on mine..it works pretty good but I cannot get all apps to work.. like eBay for one.. whatever reason just doesn't load. Cannot get Google autofill ..Gmail doesn't work...etc.

All the Google apps installed on my phone work pretty well. Just enable all the permissions in Play Store, Google Account Manager and Google Play Services.
Any chance you could pm me links to the Google play stuff you used on your phone to get Google play store to work. Thanks man you've been a big help.
Here I have problems with Google play service
"Google Play Services are updating"
Its necesarry for flashing the rom have a chinese phone number? In my case for living in Spain it started by +34... for that reason with JoyUI 11 I can't login in my Black Shark account

Hi,
I am trying to officially unlock for two weeks now.
I just get stuck at 50 with the Cannot Verify issue.
Opened a bug report here. Would be nice, if some of you with the same issues could support it.

just don't make any change on your phone and your mi account for about a week
Just wanna clear things up! Kate can be officially unlocked,
I had already done that way back in July.
Steps taken by me.
1. Boot into EDL mode
2. Flash Global Developer Rom
3. Login to MI account on the phone
4. Boot into Fastboot mode
5. Unlock with official tool
Tried everything and now flashing Dev Rom in EDL Mode
Still no more than 50%
I have unlock permission but fails at 50%.
Gonna wait for a few days before trying it again.
Apparently you can flash TWRP/root via this method without unlock the BL.

I updated to Global Developer with the updater app.
Had to reflash the rom with EDL, because it didn't accept my passcode any more (two weeks ago).
Still doesn't work.

Have you removed your lockscreen? fingerprint, pin, pattern, etc?
Please ensure that you've fulfill the requirements, because that point above is usually forgotten when doing this.
Kindly check it again.

Are you really using Kate device? Delivery outside Taiwan began 26th of August at geekbuying, AFAIK. When you bought it directly in Taiwan:
Was it originally equipped with Android 5? Which ROM did you use when you unlocked it? Where can we download it?
We other people received our RN3Pro Special Edition already with Android 6 installed, and after flashing all ROM fitting onto Redmi Note 3 Special Edition (not Redmi Note 3 Qualcomm China, not Redmi Note 3 Qualcomm Global) I *know* there is no working solution except unofficial bootloader unlock. For now, because I'm hoping Xiaomi is working on this issue.

Doesn't help.
Stayed on the same MIUI Version for over a week.
Messaged MI Support now, as my bug report with almost 30 likes doesn't even get recognized.
If u have got the unlock permission by sms but not able to bind then follow the instructions:
1) First goto mi bootloader by holding volume button and power button.
2) connect your phone to windows laptop
3) Goto device manager and under connected devices search for Android device... Then update the driver and now u can see it is updated to Xiaomi.
4) Use a older version of mi flash tool.
5) This will unlock your device
not working bro, on 86012 error
Where exactly are u stuck? U don't have to bind the account. Older version of mi flash tool doesn'trequire it
Is it really safe to use an old version of the unlocker for the note 4 though?

Yes I guess. The newer version is just made to be compatible with windows 10 and also account binding is compulsory. So if u want to still use new version of unlock tool then good luck as u might have to wait for days, months ,year's for it to sync and bind. Haha

When I got the permission to unlock the bootloader, I didn't have time to do so. Did it after 20 days or so, and got the "86012some Chinese letters)" error. Tried everything:
1. new Unlock tool and old unlock tool.
2. Sign out from Account and sign in again.
3. Turn off find device and then turn it on again.
4. Reset the phone.
5. Updated.
And pretty much everything I could find on youtube and forums.
And then tried the last thing.
Wait for 5-10 days.
I didn't even bothered binding the Account again for 10 days.
Then attempted just by turning on 'oem unlock', 'USB debugging', 'USB debugging security. Didn't even touched the bind Account thing.
Attempted the unlock and voila, it worked.
I've unlocked 3 phones in the same way, with the latest unlock tool, without binding, each one of them showed the same error. And tried all of the above steps 1 to 5 in two of the phones. Didn't bother doing the update for third phone. And the same steps worked for each one.
Don't know what it is? But its successful everytime. Will try on more and will tell.
I had facing the same issue too, i just wait for 7 days and did nothing since the first failed one.
And after 7 days, today i tried the same way and unlocked.

After that restarted my phone and clicked on settings and in developer menu, I watched i clicked on allow unlock bootloader but I forgot to click on usg debbuging. after clicked it I went for fastboot with old unlock tool and I got success. thankyou.
Try my method you will get success. hit like. stay tune. tandob is here to help you guys.
Hello fellow Mi8 owners.
I just got my MI8 via aliexpress. The phone came with the chinese rom. Thankfully English could be used as the default language and I was able to get around the phone that way.
However, Google play and services are obviously missing. Is there a way to get a global rom?
I tried to unlock the bootloader for 3h yesterday, however, there was no way to get it to work.
Things I did:
0) Login with Xiaomi account.
1) enabled developer options.
2) Enable USB debugging.
3) Enable the OEM Unlock toggle.
4) Request Unlock via the phone (where you can check if the bootloader is locker or not).
On the PC:
- I downloaded the MI Unlocker software (latest version). Checked for version update to be sure.
- Downloaded mi PC suite (I keep reading that it's deprecated so not sure if it's useful or not). Updated to latest version.
- connected and let drivers update. Initially it showed as a generic android phone in device manager. After some uninstall of drivers and trying to install Xiaomi Drivers, it shows up as LePhone or something like that. It does show the Mi8 under it though.
Issue:
- When I tried to unoock bootloader via the Mi Unlocker, it checked if I have permission, then it went to the screen where it asks me to connect phone, there is no way for me to make it visible int the app. I can see it in ADB (shows phone ID and sideload). But the Mi unlocker does not identify the device/cannot unlock it.
- Mi PC Suite also can't identify the phone.
Any ideas on what I'm missing? I keep seeing that some 10-12 days need to be waited since you get the phone and connect it to Xiaomi, but it's not clear why that is, nor where I can see this wait period.
This is my first Xiaomi phone/experience. Ideally I don't want to do anything too dangerous that could brick the phone. Just want a clean global version of MiUi (with OTA updates) and Google Play/Services.
Any clear guides are much appreciated.
Thank you.

See the sidebar of that sub all the information is there .
Just to give you a brief , 360 hours is needed to unlock bootloader , globalrom is not available yet only xiaomi.eu ROM is . Also if you want to get Google services in Chinese ROM then inside MI app store application search for Google . The first application result install that and keep saying yes for everything you will get Google on China ROM

Thank you very much for the response.
Do you know what the difference between Xiaomi.eu rom and global rom is? For the most part I want a stable rom that isn't bloated. Any other "extras" I would either do via Root and Magisk if I need to. Skins and various modifications don't really interest me.
I'll also check the sidebar on Reddit for more info.
LE: Is there any way to know how much I have left from those 360h of being locked? Or any way to see that this period is over once the time passes? I was a bit dumbfounded that I didn't get any error stating that I must wait 360 hours. I just read about it in various posts.
Hi,
I have the same problem with windows 10.. I tried all but the mi unlock do not verify the mi8.
After different days(of test) I try with windows 7 and all work well the first time ?
I hope this help you

Wow, that's good to know. Never thought it might be from the Windows version + driver compatibility.
I might just use Win 7 to test it out. I'll wait for the 360h to pass first.
How did you test with Win7? Fresh install or some Virtual Machine?
I have a different PC, one desktop with w10 and one laptop with w7

You need to bind your MI account with your phone first . Have you done that ? Till the time you don't do that then even if you wait 1 year you won't be able to unlock bootloader

I'm pretty sure I did It shows the account number next to the Mi Account option and if I enter it, I have the sign out option.
But I can't connect to network when I try to request unlock.
Also nothing via browser.

Wonder if anyone knows how to unlock the bootloader and root the Oppo Find X3 (not Pro)? This is the device that sits just below the Pro-Model - essentially same hardware with a slightly less capable CPU (Snapdragon 870 instead of 888). The device runs a version of ColorOs intended for the Chinese market only (at this stage). Easy to enable developer options, allow OEM unlocking and enable USB debugging. But so far I have not found a way to access fastboot mode and proceed to unlock the bootloader. Any ideas?
Waited 4 yrs to upgrade from a OnePlus5 and these Chinese system apps are such a downer. Glad to see you two on to the right questions.

The steps to enable developer mode? Go to About Phone, there you will see a screen with lots of info about the phone, including the OS. Tap on *Baseband & kernel", then you see three infos. There you click multiple times on "Build number", which will unlock developer mode. This you then find under "Additional settings" in the main settings. Then you can enable "OEM unlock" (which doesn't help unless you can access the bootloader and actually unlock it...) and "USB debugging". I'll survive without root for now, hoping some clever XDA devs will figure this device out eventually. It's an amazing phone, and I hope they will release a true international version of the firmware at some point, so I won't see the Chinese core-apps anymore...
Global phones have purposely has the fastboot command blocked, so even if there was a twrp there is no way to flash it, no matter what you do, holding volume down on boot, commands or any other method won't work. Chinese models I believe can have it done but need to download an app, then apply to have permission to unlock.

Deeptest. Apk or in depth test.apk Google them a new version 1.1 was released three days ago but no info on what model phone it is for
Thanks for the tip. Among other things, I came across this:
OPPO Community
Talk, share, and learn everything about the beautiful possibilities of technology together with other OPPO fans.
community.coloros.com
Sounds like this is for devs only, and not yet for the FX3. So for now, I'll keep my hands off it - don't think I'm at the required skill level yet. But still - a good tip, and it gives me some hope that root access might be possible in the near future.
I have what I'm pretty sure is the global variant and I am able to enter fastbootd
Oh wow. Great! May I ask you to please share how you manged to pull that off? And once you accessed fastboot, did you e.g. manage to root the device? Please, also here, a "how" would be preferred over a "yes"?
Or is there a way to root the phone with apps like KingoRoot etc?

As far as using mobile data, MI account already recognized my device & successfully passed the "Add account and device"
During unlocking, I made sure to open a hotspot from the phone # which is registered with the MI account.
*edit: it's a Wifi only Pad.. so.. though I do have a choice of Wifi or hotspot during the unlocking process
I have also tried the exact unlocking method from technobuzz link you have provided. Thank you for sharing.

I was ecstatic!!! when i first saw the pic
I've got this.. pic with an unlock. Does it mean bootloader is unlocked?
if i choose the second option and enter WiFi information, then choose the first option, it boots as though factory reset has been done (goes through the initial setup) BUT all the data is there. and status shows it's STILL LOCKED.
Now the 2nd time, i let the locked icon stay and boot into fastboot and try installing TWRP, it failed :-(
this is the error i get:
fastboot flash recovery twrp1.img
Sending 'recovery' (33812 KB) OKAY [ 0.842s]
Writing 'recovery' FAILED (remote: 'No support by lock control')
fastboot: error: Command failed
What now?
Thank you for any/all the help i can get

upon connecting the cable to the device (in a fastboot mode) the Unlock tool does NOT see it as being attached eventhough the bootloader drivers are there and shows that device is connected. when i type "fastboot devices" my device shows up as well
*the global Mi Unlock tool takes me to the account info (where i can change password/email/other details
i've tried various versions of MI Unlock tool.. (including batch unlock ones) all give the same result. Just like to add.. i have successfully unlocked Mi Note 7 using the Mi Unlock tool (at the time I didnt have to wait eventhough there was supposedly a 7 day wait)

Have you enabled USB debugging?
Are you using a usb 2 port?
Is the Mi pad usb port 2 or 3?
The Mi Unlock folder must be at the root of the hard drive.
Try running Mi Unlock as administrator.
EDIT:
ANOTHER TOOL

Im so happy, NOSS8! Thank you ever so much!
moving the folder to C:\ must have done the trick AND running it as admin.
there's a 120hr wait then what recovery do i install when there are no officially supported ROMs either

Glad it worked but if there is no recovery or rom for this model, why unlock the bootloader?
You can install a stock Global or other rom but without locking the bootloader and rooting to have a certified play store.
