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.

Yes, I can give you more details about it.
- Bootloader status (before unlocked officially)
Device unlocked: true
Device critical unlocked: false
- Permission received to unlock the bootloader via text
- Flashed the global developer fastboot rom via MiFlash
Do not forget to back up data. It will be a clean install.
Miflash(version: 2016.08.30.0)
Fastboot rom, "Global Developer"(kate_global_images_7.1.5_20170105.0000.00_6.0_global)
- Device bootloader locked again.
- 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.
First of all im legit user of this phone, im aquire this device though legal purcase (i can provide you with my purcase notice).
I have problem with pin locked device, i suddenly forget my pin and now am stuck at locked home screen. Unfortunely this device is soo brand new, im not yet integrating my mi account to this device thus setup pin to this device. So i can not do the normal way of unlocking bootloader by miunlock procedure. Since i not yet link my device to my mi account i cannot unlock it via mi unlock.
I already try few ways of flash include using linux: sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb, but when i send "adb devices" command it show no device. I think it caused by locked bootloader.
Any help or suggest will be helpful. Thanks
What device MTK or SD?
Thanks for responding.. Its MTK
So first of all you need to use SP flash tools to flash a new ROM & you can do that without unlocking your bootloader but you will lose all your data using the following method:
http://en.miui.com/thread-371349-1-1.html
As for your adb commands ie (adb devices) they will work regardless of bootloader state.
I'm not sure what you are trying to achieve by using (sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb)? but anyway there is a way to remove the pin but that requires root & USB debugging enabled.
Thanks for the link, i'll let you know if its working. About the (sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb) command, its debian/ubuntu command to install adb tools

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 found a tool for windows called "fastboot reset tool v1.2" The tool sees the phone but fails because it couldn't write to folder I don't know how to tell if the bootloader's locked or not When I reboot to bootloader it just says fastboot mode after that but since the phone's frp locked i can't enable usb debugging means I can't connect by adb How can I proceed on Windows or Linux?
You can use this tutorial to bypass frp. The tool is created by Mohit KKC.
