Unlocking help - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers

Hello, I've bought a redmi 5 plus and i was hoping to get a custom rom on it, but as I've connected my sim card to unlock it, it doesn't seem to accept it. It fully detects it, even its carrier name, but just can't use it. At all. Does anyone know if there could be a fix for this? Or maybe there is a way to unlock the phone without sim card? Thanks.

I'll try reflashing it tomorrow morning.
Also, I don't think that post is relevant to what i need help with, my phone won't use the sim at all, it's not a problem that my internet is locked or something. It finds the sim, but i can't call or use internet.

where do i find the tutorial? i cant find the xml file for flashing

Nevermind. @mvikrant97 ive flashed the phone with global firmware through edl test points. Now what?

Still in need of help..

I had the same ROM version, it's an unofficial custom MIUI made by the reseller. You might already have the bootloader unlocked.
I fixed this by flashing the global beta for MIUI 8 (which makes me think the bootloader was already unlocked). I didn't try unlocking any further, though, I just wanted to go to a supported ROM. What you have right now is not trustworthy.
This might work.
Theoretically, you flash the China Developer ROM from there, unlock bootloader, flash recovery then CM13

just download mi unlock tool . to unlock bootloader you have to be in china developer rom.remember this is an important step.i hope you know what i mean.
I've managed to unlock bootloader, I'm trying disable adb verity but unable to gain root on this China dev ROM, anyone know why this would happen? Do I have to install the modded boot image I was advised to do during twrp install?

Is your phone unlocked? If so, officially or unofficially? Do you have a custom recovery?

Try to enter recovery and do a factory reset. If the phone doesn't boot, you can try flashing the fastboot version of the ROM via EDL. Search the forums and you'll find various guides on how to do that.

Your phone looks like kenzo not kate. Your baseband version and kernel numbers are same with kenzo. First make sure which version of device you have then update. Otherwise you will lose network and gsm features.
I have a Kate device and baseband version looks the same as in the screenshot above.

Unlock Honor 9 STF-AL10 not possible. Pls help.

Hello Guys,
iam sitting here since about 8 hours and try to unlock my new Honor 9 which i received today. But its not working so i need your help.
My Phone bought in China:
Device: Huawei Honor 9
Model No: STF-AL10
Android OS: 7.0 Nougat
EMUI Version: 5.1
Firmware: B190
Build Number: STF-AL10C00B190
Memory: 6GB / 128GB
I've installed all related driver, adb etc. Got my unlock password within 2minutes. Ive also checked that with IMEI 1, IMEI 2 and the MEID. In every case i received the same password so the password cant be wrong.
But when i try to unlock my phone with "fastboot oem unlock MYCODE" i receive the message "FAILED (remote: check password failed!)".
I noticed that i cant see the message "frp locked" on my phones screen and i really wonder why. Of course i enabled usb debugging but i dont have any oem unlock option under developer settings. Its not there. But ive read a lot and removed my fingerprints, my pin and made a soft reset. Still not working. Made a hard reset and still the same. At first i tried with B175 firmware. After that HiSuite offers a update (B190) and ive upgraded my phone. But still the same problem. Cant unlock my phone. And the question is why?
Ive made some pictures but iam not able to post them because iam new....
Nobody can help?
Here are the pictures ive made:

Your main issue lies in the total absence of oem unlocking in dev options. Fastboot commands towards that are hence useless. Like your model came with a non-unlockable bootloader... Weird. Mine mysteriously had its option in developer greyed out and unmodifiable, with a frp locked state in fastboot all of a sudden, even though I already had unlocked it... Luckily I already had TWRP and flashing Oreo cleared all my issues even retrieved capacitive buttons. As of now I have no idea to help you mate, only contacting Huawei support as suggested by them o if having issues with bootloader and/or unlocking code. Tell if you find a way, good luck.
Thank you for your answer. Yes, these china models always come with no FRP options.
But i dont read that there really exist some Honor 9 phones that are not unlockable. Hmm
Problem solved in the meanwhile.
Huawei website gave me wrong unlock code (unlock password). But i was able to extract the right one with DC tools.
My Honor 9 is unlocked, rebranded and rooted now. And iam happy.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Generally, it happens after flashing.
It might be a imei problem.

Cant root Samsung Galaxy S9+ Snapdragon

I've tried following multiple guides to root my phone with IodeOS. However, anytime I try I keep getting various error messages. Most guides say I need to enable "OEM Unlock" in developer settings. I've had developer mode enabled for more than 7 days and still don't have this option. I've tried all the suggestions of turning off auto update and setting the clock back 7 days, checking for updates then turning the clock forward and checking for updates again, but no luck. Any help would be appreciated. Not sure it matters, but it was bought through Verizon.
you can't even unlock bootloader therefore no broad root method available. few years back there was combination ROM exploit Extreme Syndicate Root. but because downgrade is not possible, there is no deal for you
Yes you can unlock the bootloader even if on bit9 bootloader. My At&t S9+ is rooted. Its a service but you can unlock bootloader and root
United States Snapdragon devices do not have oem unlock..and if it shows up its useless
Extreme Syndicate is outdated.

If you refer to UNSAMLOCK there is written it's not possible. You know how to unlock bootloader? So why don't you help @shadowcyberdeck unlocking?
