Hi Guys ,
My Mi Max 3 was unlocked, but I guess because of some wrong steps I have made while flashing a new rom into my device it got locked .
device unlocked: false
device critical unlocked: false
Now I am not able to unlock it using Mi Unlock tool because it will ask me to add my account details into MIUI’s settings using the device , while I am not able to boot the device into any rom . it stuck’s at the default recovery mood of the device with a notification saying “this miui version can't be installed on this device” , even if I reboot it , the same thing happen .
When I tried to use the fast boot to flash a global ROM using MiFlash tool , an errors comes out saying “can not found file flash_all_lock.bat” and some times “cannot find file flash_all.bat”.
So guys I am stucked ! Device is not booting to the old rom neither its allowing me to flash a new rom .
have you guys experienced such an issue before ! kindly advice me what to do .
Note that i dont have tools to open the device and use Edl + i haven't done it before

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 !!!
Hey guys,
I got my RN3 a month ago and since last 2 weeks i am trying to unlock the bootloader using the official method.
I had asked MI for permission and I got it within 3 days. Now since 2 week I am trying to unlock the bootloader but I keep getting the error on MIUnlock "Couldn't verify Device".
I am using the latest MIUnlock version.
I have searched extensively for a solution to the problem but unfortunately all the work arounds are not working for me.
I have tried it on the stock ROM that the phone came with.
The latest stable global ROM from MI V7.3.7.0. MIUI7
The beta global ROM from MI MIUI8
Same error everywhere. The process stops at 50%.
I am skeptical to try the unofficial method since it could brick my phone. But may go through with it if there is no other option.
Basically I want to root the phone and flash a CM13 ROM.
Please help me out
Thanks
Mine had said the same error failed at 50% - mine shipped with miui V7.3.6.0 (some vendor firmware I guess), here is what I did to fix it.
I have the redmi note 3 pro so this will apply only for the kenzo (snapdragon version)- I am not familiar with the mediatek one.
1. Install Xiao Mi Flash (beta) , then boot the phone into fast boot mode (from power off state - hold vol down + power until you see it say fast boot.), in Mi Flash at the bottom select clean all
2. extract the kenzo "fast boot" firmware
http://en.miui.com/a-234.html (find the firmware in the list)
IE:
Redmi Note 3 Qualcomm Latest Global Stable Version Fastboot
(kenzo_global_images_V7.3.7.0.LHOMIDD_20160523.0000.23_5.1_global)
3. Select the extracted firmware folder in the Mi Flash program, hook the phone up and you should see it in the list, then click flash to flash it.. (this will erase all data)
after it finishes let it boot up it might take 10-15 minutes, then you can try to unlock it again, at this point it should pass now verification and unlock officially. - after success let it reboot again and it might take another 10-15 minutes to finish up.
(this is because it clears the phone data so it has to re-optimize all the apps).
do at own risk it worked for me but due to all the various methods the vendors use to flash this phone who knows if it will work for everyone...

hello,
i am not able to use miflash(beta) due to some qualcomm driver error because i am on 32 bit system. Instead i am using miflash 2015 10.28.0 which have 3 options like flash all, flash all except storage ,flash all except data and storage.which one to choose?
look at the image i have attached for your reference
first I suggest installing the Mi PC Suite (just to get the correct drivers installed), then try XiaoMiFlash again
http://en.miui.com/thread-92720-1-1.html
here is the Xiao Mi Flash I used.
http://en.miui.com/thread-281979-1-1.html
MiFlashSetup-Beta.zip (29.53 MB, Downloads: 96818)
I had to link my phone first before the Unlock tool would work. So login into you Mi Account on the phone first.
I had the same problem because i hadnt installed the miui dev rom yet..
the only solution is flashing DEV ROM
it worked for me

7) CREDITS
8)My Queries to Developers,Moderators,Anyone[optional for unlockers..it's my doubts]--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1)Notes[Things to know]
a) Mi Flash Unlock tool is not fake
b)Unlocking bootloader does not void ur warrenty
c)after unlocking u'll not lose any data
d)No need to go for any developer/china roms
e)if i miss anything i'll update it later
f)if u think that this post does not belong in this section then i'm sorry.. i want every one to find it easily So i posted in here
2)Unlocking ways
u guys has seen many ways for unlocking in our forums
But i'm sorry to say none of them worked for me..If u Succeed in those then u r lucky ..Otherwise go for this...
I'm also the one like u facing this problems like
i)Account verify failed...
ii)Current account is different from Device info on this device...
iii)e.t.c
the unlocking ways i found in our miui is
http://en.miui.com/thread-336034-1-1.html
http://en.miui.com/thread-223915-1-1.html
e.t.c
Some of them had unlocking by above ways..They also works..But!!!!
if u still have problem with unlocking ..then go for My unlocking way
DISCLAIMER ..I'm not at all telling that above or any other ways of unlocking are wrong or not all working
3)My unlocking way[Requirements also]
I'm Having Redmi 3s..And the requirements is Same for all ..Except in recovery
First of all There's no need of Touch ur mobile..Let it be as it is
Like no removing of account/data/not turn of device/nor sync off .... Nothing At all
4)Procedure
Here's the Technique
Trick 1)
I Recomend to Do this All Process in Private/Incognito Browing ..
i)Create A New Mi Account [I Suggest Go for Any Private Browsing/Incognito Window ] And Sign's up...Verify Mobile/Email
ii)Log in to that account in mi forums And create a Nick name/or simply copy paste ur account id as nick name
iii)Don't Log out
iv)Go to this link http://www.miui.com/unlock/apply.php
[[Those who have Problem to open this page like "u r automatically redirected to Download page" Has to follow my recomendation in order that log out from ur previous accounts And clear ur browsing data of mi pages]]
Fill up the Forum..
In the description like ...[[i understand the risks of unlocking and i request to give me unlock permissions]] Like any thing u wish
verify phone via OTP ...if ur Account is verified and it says Proceesing And u receive a sms with in 10 days then u r Half Done
All U HAve to do Wait 2 Minimum Days.I Feel Sorry for that But A new account creation is neccesary in my trick [COZ i succeded in that]
After 2 days Check ur phone For SMS Like "You Have Been granted For permissions To unlock ur device .." Then Ur 75% Done
v) Simply Download this attachment
MiFlashUnlock_1.0.1225.2 IT IS OF CHINEESE VERSION
If the Download link is not working Inform me Or u can download Latest Mi FlashUnlock tool ..But i didn't test in that ..i guess it also works
vi)Run it as administrator / no need at all [[I'm just giving what i did]]
log in with the account which u CREATED PREVIOUS TIME AND APPLY FOR UNLOCK PERMISSIONS
vii) Connect ur device in fastboot mode..If u dont have fastboot drivers Install Mi flash tool lastest version ...if still problem persists Disable Driver Signature enforment in windows by follow up this tutorial http://en.miui.com/thread-237673-1-1.html
viii)If it shows unlock button then click on it..With in a second u r device is unlocked..then u r very luckiest guy in this world..else u'll see again ur old Friend error "Current account is different from Device info on this device..."
Mostly U wont get error ..COZ the main trick here is creating new accont get permissions and dont log in with that new account in any device except in mi flash unlock after getting permissions......Because of that account does not have any connected devices..And this trick only works for one new mail=one unlock...After that u'll get ur old friend error in chineese
Trick 2
I Feel Sorry That u didn't succeded in my first trick..Here's an another way for u
1)Again Create a new account Apply for permissions Dont log in to any device..after/before sms confirmation
Step 2)open only that Chinnese link i provided[[Run it as administrator ]]..Log in to that account
3)If u see unlock button immediatly Disconnect ur net Connect ur phone in fastboot then click on unlock button..u'll see an error of 0*500 something now connect to internet then again click on unlock button
u'll 100% unlock ur device ..
This Trick is a combination of my technique and other two senior members [above link ] in this forum
If u r busy guy like me and cant wait for another two days ..then try with the previously new account details as login details in step 2 ...but i cant assure u unlock may be 50-50 chances...
5)Proofs&Screenshots
Attachment is below
6)Bonus
1)At the time of mi account creation create two accounts and apply for permissions on both accounts it's saves time right..in case if u didn't succed in first trick
2)After the device is successfully unlocked download this TWRP and use this command in minimal adb/whatever u have
fastboot boot recovery.img
Copy the Code
to back up ur device with out system modifications
3)that file was not mine ..it belongs to another moderator.. And the recovery is of redmi 3s
4)Keep the system partition read only and backup the device ..might be useful at future
5)After backup u can flash the recovery ..u have the idea about remianing thing right !!!
7) CREDITS
All credits Goes for Mi forum moderators,Developers,And Everyone.
A special Credits Goes To my friend SivaPrabhas
8) My Queries to Developers,Moderators,Anyone
Here's What i did.... before i have locked bootloader..i downloaded fastboot images put the device in edl mode and change the recovery file img to twrp img and rename it to recovery.img..And flash the All os files.. flashed successfully but still it shows stock recovery
that's why i'm wondering about that ..And i changed the boot file to twrp image .. it flashed the files succesfull But it stuck on mi logogo and lead me to qualocom diagonostic mode 900E Because of partioning mismatch [i guess ] luckily i'm having fastboot coz the flasher first flashes the bootloader and mbn files
i initiate fastboot oem edl command then i'm in edl mode and flashed the device to previous state ..After that i stopped the work it's a new phone guys [1 week ] i got feared
So my query is how it still can't boot into twrp recovery mode if it's flashed successfull in edl mode [i checked the log file ]
I guess because of encryption process of system partition after flashing ..so again what i did is after flashing the fles immediatly i boot on to recovery still the device automatically loops .. and start encryption
Thank u everyone...Sorry for the long post & if i did something wrong ..
Hope This can help many ..
Kindly notify me whether it succeeds or fails
Peace Out,,,,,,,,
Nice

"First of all There's no need of Touch ur mobile..Let it be as it is

"Dont log in to any device..after/before sms confirmation"
So, should I keep my older account logged in? I'm confused and I don't want to end up creating more accounts.

I did not follow this method. I used the standard approach with one small deviation. I requested unlock and received it in 2 days. When I tried to use the miunlock tool it gave me an error about "Current account info is different...". I just waited for two weeks and tried again. Viola! It unlocked without any hassles. I think it just needs few days for the unlock approval to actually "migrates" to the account.

Finally succeeded. This time it showed 'No Mi Phone connected'. But using the old unlocked version did the trick.
I support trick 2 (disconnecting your internet)...worked with me before you posted it, and this is also explained on MI forum...please thank them too if someone succeeded via this method.

2. Inside developer mode ( ( within additional settings ) activate OEM unlocking and USB debugging
3. Remove all fingerprint stored, also remove any lockscreen patterns if any
4. Under OEM status there is MI Unlock status, click on activate device in that tab ( I don't remember specifically what the words are, as my phone is unlocked it just shows Unlocked)

6. Turnoff phone, enter fastboot mode by pressing down arrow and powerbutton together
7. Connect phone using USB cable
8. In MI unlock tool it will show MI phone connected, proceed to unlock

HI, I don't see any attachment from the OP,
please help, when I tried to unlock it said that the account is different from the one registered in phone. I cant boot to my phone now, only fastboot and it's locked
how solve "current account cannt unlock this device" problem
Please kindly refer to the thread and read the details steps and instructions because it seems like everyone is trying to hit the unlock procedure without knowing that the stable(global) version of the ROM is not apt for the official or any unofficial unlock procedure !
PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE DISABLED DRIVER SIGNATURE VERIFICATION IN YOUR SYSTEM.
Unlocking Bootloader Procedure:
1. Download zip file (recovery file) of OFFICIAL MIUI China developer ROM for your device :
http://bigota.d.miui.com/6.12.8/miui_HM3SGlobal_6.12.8_b00ffce744_6.0.zip
Please don't get confused with the link as it's indeed a Developer ROM by 'global' in between the link and not the Global stable ROM, you can check it yourself.
Other ROM would not work. Then put it into phone storage. Go to Updater app, press the three dot on upper right corner, and select 'Choose update package'. Choose the zip file you just put in phone storage. The update will wipe all user data, please make backup beforehand.
2. Log into the Mi account which has acquired unlocking permission on your device. Make sure it's the same with the account you sent your request. It's recommended to connect to the Internet for Mi account to sync
3. Turn off your device, press the Power button and Volume - button at the same time to enter bootloader mode
4. Log into the unlocking tool on PC with the same Mi account. Connect the device with the PC using USB cable
5. Press 'Unlock'. The unlocking process will complete in about 10 seconds
For those who already bricked your devices you may using Mi PC SUITE to reflash your device.You are advised to download it to install necessary files (ADB and so on) .
Hi... as far as i know.. you need to be on the same rom from which you have applied for bootloader unlock..
i bought new redmi 3s last week.. and same day applied for unlock... and when going through different threads.. lot of people saying that we need to be in developer rom or Chinese rom to unlock boot loader..so i downloaded global developer and installed it..
with in 2 days i got confirmation from xiaomi that i have permission for unlock.. to my bad.. every time i tried to unlock boot loader its stuck at 50% with current device information is different error..
so finally decided to downgrade to the same version from which i applied for unlocking.. so tried Deep flash cable method to put phone in qualcom loader to bypass bootloader... and installed same global stable version.. after successfully installing stable version tried unlocking.. and voila... bootloader unlocked with in 10 Seconds...without any hitch...
So if you want to unlock bootloader... wait for atleast 7 days after you get confirmation message from xiaomi...

Yes, glad someone else noticed it too. Yes I had trouble for a lot of days with developer ROM after getting permission a week back but no luck.
PS: Disabling Driver Signature Verification is paramount in this process.
Hello I need help with my Note 5. Downloaded latest global rom and mi flash tool.. entered edl mode with test point and i got a proplem saying "Only nop and sig tag can be recevied before authentication.".... now i assume i need authorized mi account to flash the rom but i dont have one and i see no way of getting one. I am currently on fake rom on a global version of the phone (the one with dual camera xiaomi note 5)
What i want right now is to flash any rom that can request for bootloader unlocking since in this fake rom that is disabled and my loader is locked..
any help?
This forum is for Redmi 5 Plus / Note 5 (India).
Please go there and ask for help for your problem:

Use EDL mode if your device bricked and it works only with designated rom, china to china and global to global because in this case your bootloader is locked. And before proceeding flashing thru EDL, you have to prepare eveything properly, such as disabling driver signature enforcement and installing correct driver (QD Loader 900D)
So, have you prepared and done all those things properly? 2 days ago I just flashed my device thru EDL due to failure flashing and now my baby is waking up
