Has anyone unlocked successfully? - Xiaomi Redmi 3 Questions & Answers

I've been trying to unlock my bootloader for some time now but I keep receiving the same error. 'Current account is different from the account info on device"
The Mi Account number signed into the device is the same as the one signed into the unlocking tool. I've been updating the Miflash Unlocker tool to the latest version. Do i need to be running a certain ROM for this to work? Has anyone actually been able to unlock their Redmi 3?

Afaik sometimes you have to wait like 5-10 after you recieved unlock approval. But i successfully unlock on the next day after approval.

I unlocked successfully with developer firmware installed on my Redmi3. 20 seconds work

Waiting for more than 3 weeks now. Unlock bootloader is a pain in the as. Okay Xiaomi is locking bootloaders. But if Xiaomi offers unlock for those how want to unlock why don't make a procedure that is really working. (no code, and unlock tool makes only network error) With locked bootloader I will sell my Redmi 3, which is very nice and never buy Xiaomi again.
Thanks, Xiaomi

That's strange. Try reflashing the developer ROM again, entering your Mi Account and then using the Unlock tool again. I unlocked mine very easily using the tool. Hope it works for you.

I havent get unlook code yet, posted two times in the mi thread on internet as they recommend. 3 weeks ago I just got the code to apply for permission to unlock bootloader. Mi unlock tool does not even start up...network error. tried like twenty times.
The pitty is I really like the Redmi 3.

Got unlock code in 10 days and successfully unlocked, problem should be on you registration of your mi account on developer ROM.

I updated my Mi account correctly. I got code to apply for permission normally. so my account should be okay.

After getting the approval in 10 days, iIve manage to unlock the bootloader only after flashing developer rom.
I've read somewhere that we should make sure the phone connect to MI services by switching on the gps service. ( I use the find device feature just to be sure)

I have NO approval since more than 3 weeks now.

successfully unlocked my bootloader yesterday after waiting for 11 days and no sms. finally I posted on complaints thread on miui english forum. I wrote my UID, my device and how many days I've been waiting and then binggo, I got sms and I can continue unlocking my bootloader [emoji1]
I read somewhere (I forgot where), the approval depends on our ID's reputation on forum. maybe yes? or maybe no? [emoji12][emoji16]

Before unlocking bootloader, you must installing dev rom, then try to unlock again using MiUnlock. Sorry for my bad english

Anyone with successful unlock, what your device name is in bootloader mode at device manager and what driver did you use?

How to unlock and update MIUI 7.0 to latest MIUI

My current MIUI Version is 7.0, its a newly bought phone but the version is not the latest. Can someone help me how to update it into latest. I've tried some other common methods but still I can't quite get it, can someone pm or post your replies about how to update.
PS: Still a locked phone, I want to unlock bootloader without permissions, can't wait for how many days for their permission -_-. (sigh)
Really need your feedbacks asap, very much appreciated for your replies in advance. ^_^

I've tried this method already but it says "Can't verify update package", can this be done with locked bootloader?
Screenshot of your about phone. I was updated my stable global rom to global dev rom by this. You can't changed rom from global to china rom or vice versa unless you unlocked the bootloader and flashed by miflash. Before my bootloader was locked and I can't flashed the china rom, it prompted me can't verified package. Now my phone was unlocked officially and rooted with twrp cofface. With twrp, I had the freedom to change rom.

Miflash still works regardless whether bootloader locked or not. Roms need to be flashed in EDL mode instead of Fastboot mode for locked bootloader users. Checkout guide posted on miui
Plus I did the same thing before and it does works.

Current account not bound to this device(unlocking bootloader)

I am not able unlock the bootloader of my note 3...I have got permission from xiaomi....The miflashunlock tool gets stuck at 99% and shows current account not bound to this device.....When i go to developer option----> Mi unlock states--->add account to fix the problem it shows some 86012 error. Please help
Same for me I unlocked unofficially
There is an option to bound your Xiaomi account to that phone in Developer Settings.
brother wait for 6-8 days.. It will eventually happen.
I used to do it daily and it happened even when there was the same old 86012 error on binding my device.
Bro you have to wait 4-5 days after you have logged in with the account on mi device . I was also having same problem but after waiting for 5 days problem was solved
Me too. It's been almost 2 weeks.

You can do a few more things if you'd like to. Visit i.miui.com from your PC or your phone browser and make sure there is only one device connected to that account- the device you want to unlock.
Additionally, did you use the same forum name and the name while requestion for unlock permission? Some people say that makes a difference.
Changing to different versions of MIUI won't help, don't do that.
Under no condition delete your MI account from the web before signing out of your phone first.
Don't unlock unofficially. You'll face a lot of problems and might even brick your device.
Good luck.
Did it work?

Were you finally able to get past the server error and bind the device to mi account?
I'm facing the same issue as I just logged in using my mi account which has unlock permissions and it just says "Unable to verify. Please try after a minute or two" for the last half an hour.
Thanks
If you brick your device on the way as it happened to me... check: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77755947&postcount=11
These guys helped me unbricking my mi8 using EDL (Test Point) and Mi-flash!

Been trying to unlock the bootleader once daily with no success. Always get the same message that 'Current account is not bound to this device' even tho I only have one MI account which I use to login both on my PC and my RN4. Also I have the options USB debugging and OEM unlocking enabled on my device .
Any suggestions guys? :crying:
Wait 1 or 2 days more... Mine unlocked on 5th day eveing...

If you mean this
Then I've done that as well
Give it two days
while setting up device,u should log in with mi account, Not anytime later(personal experience).
Give it two more days or upgrade to miui beta roms, they usually have fewer errors while unlocking.
Wait few more days. :0
dude patient's is the secret for unlocking the bootloader
Use latest mi unlocker and also install mi usb driver and dont forget to enable oem unlocking in developer option and debugging option.
Need not to wait for day
Follow this step and you will be able to unlock your bootloader.
Its just a myth these guys created to wait for few days .
I got premission within 6 hours of applying and the moment i got sms regarding premission granted and so in 5 mint i got my phone unlocked.

I'm pretty sure I have the latest versions of the unlocker and drivers.
As for the developer options, I've enabled them as well, as shown in the screenshots above.
Oh well, looks like I have to wait for a few more days.
It is a common error. Wait for few days and it will be fixed

about unlock

0.at first you need a xiaomi account
解锁工具需要登入小米账户才能使用
1.All versions can be unlocked
所有的版本 不管是国内版本还是欧洲版本都能去官网解锁
2. channel -> http://en.miui.com/unlock/
官方解锁渠道地址
3.some one need to wait 360hours before unlock , because you have a new xiaomi account,this account lacks enough traces of use
My account has been in use for many years (note that it has been used for many years, not just the account that was registered many years ago)
新账号或者很少使用的账号,可能无法直接用于解锁手机,需要等待几天时间,最长半个月。当然一个老账号一个月内也只能解锁一台。
4.unlock phone will wipe data (format /data)
解锁手机后会自动清空数据 恢复出厂设置
So are you saying create the account now (prior to having the phone), to speed up the waiting time?
Nah, i have a 4 years old account, 360 h still .
I am a newbie on Mi so sorry about the question if obvious (this is my first one although I flashed ports a few years back on my ZTE Blade and THL 5000).
So I allow the boot loader unlock on my phone, then I'll perform the proper unlock and only after I'll be able to root my Mi 9, correct?
Thank you in advance
Ok, not sure if I did this correctly.
I signed up for the account and used USA as region.
Downloaded the miflash unlock tool.
I signed into the account and after checking account permissions, it's asking me to connect the phone.
Does this mean I don't have a wait time?
Or only after connecting the phone will I get the wait time?
Phone has been shipped. Might be a few days before I get it.

I thought the same, but once you click unlock and 'ok' the warnings, it'll begin the unlock but then stop saying you need to wait

Edit: I fixed my own problem, still just waiting for the unlock!
so, as some of the readers know here on Mi 9 forum, im new to Xiaomi itself, so my Mi 9 arrive tomorrow, and i want to put Xiaomi.eu rom on it since they fix most of the bugs and problems of the global rom outsorced by Xiaomi itself...
My question is: after unlock the bootloader on boot image we will have a message like Pixel/LG phones saying we have unlocked bootloader and the phone is unsafe or we did just have a locker unlocked saying the same but without the message warning during boot?
that message anoying me so much that i just dont want to unlock if the message pop up, instead if the locker are in their place, im in to unlock it!
It just shows a small lock that is open and the text unlocked. It's very subtle

Yes, it doesn't add a new screen, it just changes the stock "Mi" boot screen by adding the text Unlocked with an open lock. Plus, I just saw a thread about changing various boot screens : Link, so theoretically you can even remove the text showing your phone is unlocked if that bothers you

Question XT2117-1 want unlock bootloader cricktet phone

There is only the official unlock method.
Check the CID to see if it can be unlocked.
Code:
fastboot getvar cid
Then check the List of CIDs
I'm in the same boat with the cricket g power 2021
My phone XT2117-1 (Moto G Power 4+64GB) is locked by Verizon provider.
There is no Verizon network in my country.
If I insert a Sim card from a local provider (Tele2-Russia), I see a message: "A locked device. Your device is blocked by your operator. Please insert a valid Sim card."
I turn on my phone and two such screens are available to me:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And such a window for scanning a QR code is also displayed (If I tap the screen many times)
I wanted to unlock the bootloader. But the MOTOROLA support site does not generate an unlock code for my device.
Can you help me unlock my smartphone?
Can I make a crossflash for XT2117-1?
What should I do for this?
Verizon is known to require OEM locked bootloaders. I believe ATT does the same, but not T-Mobile. Was this phone given to you or were you given a buying offer you just couldn't refuse? I ask because considering you're in Russia, I presume based on your local carrier, the unlocked global variant would have been your best if not the only choice.
In terms of flashing, you won't be able to without unlocking the bootloader, but there may be a way to fool the phone recovery program to load up a similar stock rom by replacing some of the images within the official rom file you can download. But I'm doubting this will work at all due to hash signatures and other checks that may fail along the recovery process, which at worst you'll end up bricking your device.

You're right.
This is an Ebay purchase. Since it was purchased through a mail intermediary, it will not be possible to make a refund to the seller.
It turns out that there is no proven way for my smartphone to replace the firmware with an alternative firmware or stock firmware for another operator?
If I wait for a while, will MOTOROLA unlock the bootloader?
Will I be able to install LineageOS on the phone XT 2117-1 in six months or a year?
Unless you or someone in the moto community find an exploit to circumvent locked bootloaders, I very much hate to be the bearer of bad news in saying no you won't be able to install Lineage. Nor do I think Motorola would allow OEM unlocking any time soon.
I have an LG Stylo 2 that ran on Verizon, 5 years later that guy remains locked. Granted it's LG and a device model that didn't get much visibility in the community. Things could look much different for the Moto G Power in a years time. Who knows, mate. But I'd heavily recommend selling or finding a way to trade it for the global variant.
Is there even a Lineage rom available for this phone?

Anyone try any GSI ROMs on the G Power 2021?
It's pretty standard hardware as far as phones go. No weird under display fingerprint reader or anything. Anyone try a GSI ROM? It might "just work" or "almost just work but you need to run a few commands to fix something".
