It's getting stuck at 50% after reading some posts, I've tried troubleshooting..
Logging in with my phone number, making sure it shows online etc etc I've got the permission text off xiaomi.
The steps I need is unlock bootloader
Install Twrp
Install cm13

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?

So long story short: Finally got CWM installed on the MS769 from Metro by using some chinese root program to get root, installed busybox, then used the L9 Recovery installer from artas to get CWM on there. So then I try to install bobzhome's P769 CM ROM and met with undesirable results.
Here is CWM installed by the L9 Recovery Installer v1.5:

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The rom I'm trying to install:
The "This package is for "p769,p760,u2" devices; this is a "p940" error
This most certainly not a p940! So I suspect CWM is a bit outdated. But how can I get the most up to date CWM when I've already used the most up-to-date L9 Recovery Installer? I've tried other flashing programs like flashr and CWM's official rom manager on Google Play but I get met with the dead android picture when trying to boot into the new recovery I flashed.
I also tried opening up the CM ROM and finding the script that does this check and disabled it. But then shortly I get this error regarding setting recursive metadata. I googled "setting recursive metadata" error and folks just say to update CWM. So I guess I gotta really get CWM updated.
Is this a dead end for me? Should I just toss this phone in a pit of lava?
Have you unlocked the bootloader? If not, you can't install CM.
The CWM you've installed is a 2nd-init recovery. You need to unlock the bootloader to install a) a proper recovery, and b) to install ROMs that aren't based on stock

Thanks for the response. Alas, I feared the worst. I had that feeling since there were several people saying there's absolutely no way to unlock the bootloader, and that there was even a petition to unlock it.
It can be unlocked, using a 910k cable and plenty of patience.
Until then, you can only run stock ROMs, or modified stock ROMs such as Kumakan or UltraROM. Try them out, they may suit your needs if you don't want to go through the BL unlock process.

Can anyone confirm if Euro version of G5 has unlocked bootloader ?
If yes are we going to see same leven of developement as 6p for this phone ?
I'll be checking when I get mine.
Could well be locked with option to unlock through LG dev site like EU G4 though...
i seriously cant wait for the arrival of mine..
ofc i'll check for flashability
well i've got mine now. i have yet to figure out if its locked or not.
isn't there some fastboot keypress combination anymore? seems like i'm unable to get into fastboot at all.
ok.. installed the lg usb driver..
using adb reboot fastboot..
reboots to android
using adb reboot bootloader..
boots into the bootloader <3

seems locked but unlockable :/
From the LG Developer Forum:
Hello,
We are planning to support bootloader unlocking for LG G5 for the European market with model number H850 soon.
It will be available this month.
When it's ready, we will let you know via our website.
Thank you.

The EU version is locked out of the box, but some folks are getting email responses from LG stating that they have plans to unlock that version in the near future. They also state that there are no plans to unlock any other variant.
uh. two posts since i edited mine. i managed to get into the bootloader and provided a screen scan (using a scanner.. srsly..)
How come the fastboot oem unlock or fastboot flashing unlock commands don't work on the international model? or is it just me!

i just thought it was similar to the t mobile version where you could unlock however dm verify stops from flashing anything
T-Mobile USA variant has a "semi unlocked bootloader" because you can Unlock it successfully but only write commands on fastboot are disabled
.... Still for few time
Hello,
so I've got a locked Redmi Note 3 snapdragon and I want to unlock it the official way (still waiting for the approval).
Anyway, when I want to flash firmware via MiFlash I get the error, that my device is locked, so I can't flash.

Today I've found those 2 tutorials on how to flash via MiFlash:
And this one: http://en.miui.com/thread-242767-1-1.html
I know that those tutorials are for different devices (and bricked ones), but would I be able to flash for example china dev 6.3.31 with this method without bricking my device (I really want root access and the new dev ROM doesn't have it anymore)?
And would I be able to flash global stable (via Update app I can only flash china roms)?
You can flash Chinese global or Chinese Dev rom with Mi PC Suite, I recommend you to first unlock your bootloader with the official way, apply your request as soon as you can so you won't need to wait that much, and after unlocking, install global rom if you want to.
(If you want to make your unlock request faster, post your request on the miui forum in the right section with your MIUI ID and say you registered more than 10 days, this will make things much faster )

I already applied for the code like 6 days ago, but You know, I'm impatient. I can't live without root
Mi PC Suite sadly fails to flash any ROM, that's why I wonder if I could use "fastboot oem edl" with locked bootloader to flash old china dev ROM.

The safest method is that you wait for your apply, install china dev, unlock your bl, and root it with the built-in root in security app, I use this too

You could try this method.
Hi all, i'm trying to update my RN3pro SE with Updater (to 6.10.13). It download correctly the update package but when the phone reboot for install updates nothing happens, there's a loop of reboots. I also waited 3 hours but nothing to do. I was forced to restart the phone.
Can someone help me? :crying:
I don't know easy ways to update manually my phone so i need OTA updates!
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.

I am getting an error text in Chinese, which I can't read nor understand. Can anyone help me out here?
What happened is I unlock the bootloader then flashed new PIE Beta. But stupidly enough I didn't notice that the re-lock option was enabled. Now here I am, unable to unlock the bootloader.

And I'm locked ever since....above is the link to my sad story where i end up re-locking my bootloader and not able to figure out how to get it unlocked again!
I even ended up deleting my old account leaving with an obsolete sim card number to which i can't even add any more mi accounts!
So i had created a new one(mi account)...reset my poco, added the new account, associated the device with the new account, tried unlocking from the mi unlocker....no luck...it was 72 hrs of relentless waiting followed by disappointment.
I'm now on stock v8.11.15 and the most i could do to relieve myself of the crappy mi bloatware is to hide the apps i despise..such as mi video, music, google play music, movies...etc from the launcher.
Still i haven't lost hope...i had created an mi account from a friend's sim card and I'm yet to slap it in my phone n try the new account.
Let's hope for the best.

Did ur unlock process stop at 99 if yes then Enable mi cloud, sync a few small items , enable find device and once sync is complete u will be able to unlock with the same sim.
