Hi everybody. Im a owner of a newly released "Redmi Pad" wifi only (4/128GB) model
It's a chinese version of
Redmi Pad | Xiaomi Global
Introducing Redmi Pad with a 90Hz buttery smooth display, High-performance MediaTek Helio G99 and a long-lasting 8000mAh (typ) battery.
www.mi.com
I've searched the whole of xda for this new model.
Im trying to unlock bootloader and having some problems.
I've been rooting/modding phones since galaxy tab(7) original with the help of XDA.
I already have installed (working)
1) usb driver
2) adb driver
3) fastboot driver
4) associated pad with MI account
***** when i connect to unlock the bootloader in fastboot mode, the device is NOT recognize/register
any help is appreciated. I'd gladly answer any questions regarding the new device as well.
Thanking in advance

Maybe because"Make sure your device can connect to the internet using mobile data."

there are other tools for Media Tek device.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Hello guys,
Purchased a secondhand redmi 2gb MTK phone of gumtree two months ago. It had a lot of bloatware and i recently flashed a new rom. I followed this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kq94VhG4UqA video but installed this rom .
Everything got flashed ok and I booted the phone to set it up. Go through language selection, locale and wifi but it does not let me get passes the next step. It keeps saying "This device is associated with an existing Mi Account (161****933) enter password to verify device.
Unlock number ###########etc".
I can't contact the seller as I purchased the phone over two months ago and have lost there details.
Can someone help, just want to get it to work, don't mind installing any rom so long as it works.?

Thing is Xiaomi keeps bootloader locked, to track phone through mi account. If in case phone is stolen, the thief couldn't flash another rom to use the phone. Now however this is good implementation but it's pain in the ass for us too..
You are in a situation where, xiaomi needs the same mi account that was created when phone was used first. Since u don't have that account, so won't be able to unlock phones bootloader officially. Without unlocking bootloader u won't b able to flash rom. Now ur only choice is unofficial unlock and that I think is bit buggy.
Unlock it unofficially and change the rom, thats it. Also before flashing any firmware zip in future please confirm with the uploaded that bootloader will not relock. As some firmware do relock the bootloader.
Now head to the unofficial unlock thread and follow the steps.. Happy unlocking
http://xiaomitips.com/guide/unlock-redmi-note-3-bootloader-without-official-permission/
I think ur device drivers are not installed properly. Please check above guide and report.

Hey guys,
He has Mediatek device. For MTK there is no EDL mode. Just find MIUI older versions (like 7.X) according to your device and flash it vja SP Flash tool. You will need fastboot rom, but to flash, you have to turn off your phone and keep pressing vol+ button. Detailed instructions you can find together with the rom in en.miui.com
For mtk users (and possibly snapdragon) this work 100% . install clean first(old) china developer official firmware from miui.com (it may also work with new firmware or stable ) and open phone in fastboot mode and run from "remove mi cloud tool " _Upgrade.bat Done ! Create new or login with a real / good mi acount and activate associate the phone with new mi account. Xiaomi will delete old account and done . After that you can deactivate association and the phone is clean clean Use this only if the phone is truly yours !

First remove your MI account & do a factory reset, check whether its asking for a new account or the same account used earlier.
If its asking for new account then simply skip it, reset again & handover to new owner.
Mi Account login in second hand mo.
Do not worry guys if anyone buy a second hand redmi mobile when u get it that time replace ur mobile number place of first owner mo. number. U would be access mobile setting and all things. Now mi account id remain will be same which was in past just ur new mo number will be linked that mi id of second hand device.
Hi there,
as the thread title suggests, my phone is linked to a non-existing Mi account.
As my (100% correct) password didnt work, the Xiaomi support told me to try and delete the Mi account, which was linked to the phone. Bad idea!
And now, as the shop shipped out the device with an unofficially unlocked bootloader, my bootloader has been relocked and I can only flash ROMs via fastboot. But this seems not to work in terms of deleting the MI account from the phone. No matter what ROM I flashed, there still is the login screen with the prompt to enter the password for the non-existing account.
I have tried many guides on how to remove the Mi account from the phone, but no luck this far.
Can anyone please provide a solution?
Thanks in advance!

Oops, sorry, forgot about the two different models for a minute.
I'm on Snapdragon (kenzo) and the phone was ordered as new (but with some inofficial store ROM).
I tried a lot of different ROMs and yes, I could flash them in spite of the locked bootloader,
but no luck still with the account login screen...
After deleting MI account, flash any ROM stable/developer ROM without SIM card inserted in EDL mode and try again. That login to MI only comes in first boot if SIM card was inserted, without SIM card atleast I don't get that login screen. Then create MI ACCOUNT in mobile itself on Wi-Fi, not with SIM inserted. Hope this helps a bit

Well then you can flash any AOSP ROM via TWRP (I recommend ZCX TWRP recovery).Go for lineage os or slim7 both are quite good Roms.
For the non existent account issue login through a computer and then try forgot password and other things see if u can succeed.

Sorry, but due to the locked bootloader, I couldn't manage to flash TWRP so far. But after I had another look at the respective forums, I understand that there is a new possibility to flash recovery with a locked bootloader. I will try this tomorrow evening and report back.
Thanks so far!

Ok report back via private message i am keen to listen the outcome.
Okay, I have tried to flash TWRP over the locked bootloader by replacing the recovery.img in the developer ROM.
The MiFlash process was successful,but when I tried to enter recovery by pressing power and volume up, I always ended up with the picture of an USB-cable and a PC. So it seems like there was no recovery installed.
So, I couldn't flash any other ROMs unfortunately...
Anybody has any suggestions how to get lineage or any other ROM on my Note 3?
contact mi service,then follow instruction from mi service need 2-3 days to unlock mi account from server.

Thanks for the tip, but how can I flash a new kernel with locked bootloader and without a custom recovery?
Fixed using this
I had the same problem and took me 2 days to find a good solution and here it is... There is a software called RBSoft Mobile Tool (used v1.4 for RMN3). It's commercial but you can find it online if that's not a problem
adb shell
su
setprop sys.usb.config diag,adb
...and it will show you the port you have to use and just press Remove Mi account. It takes couple of seconds. Reboot, and whoila
Good luck
Edit: This has to be done in EDL mode but it's noted in application. Phone has to be rooted, too

I have managed to open the bootloader, but no success yet with flashing TWRP - MiFlash shows a success, but when I try to enter recovery by the button combination, the phone does simply nothing (sometimes it will boot normally when I release the keys).
Rebooting to recovery via ADB doesn't work for the fact, that the phone is only recognized in fastboot mode. This may either come from the fact, that I can't get into the phone in order to activate USB debugging or from my driver chaos, since I have installed every Xiaomi driver in existance, I guess
I'll try different versions of TWRP over the weekend and let you know how this works out...
what is your current rom?

Hey I think you are doing something wrong.
After following steps of unlocking bootloader, did you reboot in fastboot mode and then run following code in command prompt?
fastboot oem unlock-go
Try above code (this will be the final nail in the coffin for unlocking bootloader)
After this you follow below link to install recovery
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/zcx-twrp-install-twrp-flash-supersu-t3462448
I installed recovery by this thread, excellent one, no hassles
Let me know if it helped you.

Of course I was doing something wrong...
But no luck with the "fastboot oem unlock-go" either.
It shows that the oem unlock is not allowed...
Is there any kind of workaround for that?
I have Mi account and managed to unlock mi5s last year.
So now I try to unlock Redmi Note 3 Pro SD, it says my device not supported.
It's it true RN3P no longer can be unlock the official way?
Not really... I just re-unlocked mine yesterday. Try with China Dev rom. I was having issues with global dev and global stable. Unlocking just couldn't move ahead of 50%. But with China dev, the process was completed in less than two minutes on the very first attempt.

I'd add that the Kate version (Special Edition) doesn't have a China dev rom, and there are conflicting reports of unlocking with the newer roms. I couldn't get it to work with the current dev rom (forgot the exact version) and I just yesterday switched back to 6.7.14 and seem to had more luck. I'm still on my 'waiting period' of 72 hours though
The biggest hurdle for me was getting my Mi Account to bind with the newer versions (there's a specific option you need to set under 'developer options'), 6.7.14 doesn't have that & it seems not be a requirement (yet)

Oh okay my bad.... I just assumed you were talking about kenzo.
I guess i cant b really helpful in case of Kate.
I tried official unlock on global stable , Dev roms & was successful make sure to enable developer options hit allow bootloader to be unlocked ( device must be connected to a mi account & locate your device once ) & authorize USB debugging Also disable all screen lock , passwords ; keep device connected to internet switch to fastboot mode & unlock

hello guys...
i was able to get my bootloader unlocked officially....
i tried everything mentioned online but no luck it always gave error to 50 % on the unlock tool and via oem unlocking it mentioned couldn't verify device....
this is what i did...
1st enable dev mode.... make sure you have oem unlocking (only 6.0 and above) enable also usb debugging...
download latest unlock tool ... en.miui.com/unlock
download minimal adb tool .... https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
make sure you have adb drive (usb driver)
also just be extra caution instal mi pc suite (though i did it without this)
connect your phone
open command prompt as an administrator
move to adb directory.... and type adb devices to check if your device is listed
the type .. adb reboot bootloader
phone will reboot to fastboot screen
type fastboot devices to check device is listed let this window open
open mi unlock tool.....
login it will verify if you have permission if it fails try again eventually it would
click on unlock it would show a warning
now the important part
as soon as you click yes on warning remove the usb cable...... and as soon as it reached 48-50 % (not more than that) reconnect the usb cable
hopefully it would work....
Thanks

My RN3 currently has Global MIUI 9 Global 7.11.23 | Beta ROM installed.
Yeah working, but it's unofficial unlock.

Thank you, Sir. I have tried the official method for the past seven days, but it gets stuck on 99% Account not bound to this device. That's why I searched for other methods.
Also, I am never going to flash MIUI ROM on my device again. Could the unofficial method still be a problem?

As you have official permissions first try to perform these steps & try unlocking :
> Locate device using MI cloud (find device) https://i.mi.com/
> check if the mail , phone are linked to your MI account
> Enable OEM unlocking & bind MI account with your device in developer options
> Download this https://mega.nz/#F!iQVFTB5Z!elmzC8piy8PukrOxiXHDFw connect the device to pc turned on - go to developer options & revoke USB debugging authorizations - now enable USB debugging - open cmd from the folder which you've downloaded - type adb devices ( hit enter button) - if it displays daemon started on port xxxx - you'll get a pop up on mobile ... accept it - disable pattern lock, num lock, etc delete fingerprints - now try unlocking logging in with a mobile number if it fails then email id & finally with mi account number.
Also make sure to wait for a week to unlock officially.
If everything fails you can proceed to unlock unofficially & remove ****UI from your phone.

Unlock unofficially, you'll be safe as long as you use custom roms

Okay, Sir. I'd just like to point out the fact that I noticed one thing mentioned on that thread. It is specifically for Kate (Redmi Note 3 Special Edition) while my device is a plain Redmi Note 3 Kenzo with 2GB Ram and Hexa Core SnapDragon.
I think this might be a problem since that .mbn file mentioned on that page belongs to a different variant.
Can you please point me to the correct thread? Or a method that uses .mbn file to unlock bootloader on my device?
