Connect your phone to the computer and run "adb reboot edl" in the command line, then flash the latest China Developer ROM using Miflash.
Login into Mi account on your new ROM and try to unlock the bootloader with MiUnlockTool.
Hello,
I cannot find OEM Unlock; I currently have the official Chinese developer ROM from the official MIUI pages "Fastboot".

I have tried both versions, but not one seems to display the OEM Unlock option. I was thinking if I haven't installed a wrong ROM, as there were also

I am looking to find OEM unlock so I could install TWRP and flash a custom rom (Basically MIUI 8 in my native language that supports google play etc.) Most likely, my phone is already unlocked, because I can access Fastboot and the web service does not offer me the "Apply for Unlock" option.
So: Should I have installed a different ROM for me to see OEM unlock?
I also saw another method of flashing, again on en miui com, where you first enter the EDL mode, but I cannot do so (I haven't found a guide that works), and using the ADB application during fastboot shows me that no devices are connected.
I am quite desperate about this, as my phone, using the Chinese ROM, cannot do many things it used to do. Please help!
My MIUI version is MIUI 8 6.9.8 Beta - the MTK developer rom.
Enable developer options first, then select that option in settings - additional settings!
Open Settings> About on your Android phone or tablet.
Now scroll to Build number and tap it 7 times.
After tapping the Build Number 7 times, you will see a message “You are now a developer!”

Hello corkiejp, I already have developer options enabled. I cannot post links, so I couldn't show what I see in the dev options menu. I have USB debugging there allright, but no OEM Unlock.

Well, I have flashed it twice through fastboot, so I suppose it should be unlocked from the vendor already.
Thanks; ok then, here go my phone specs: http// imgur dot com/a/dcHO0
And my dev options: http// imgur dot com/a/MpOGg

You have a mediatek version and EDL mode is only available for snapdragon version.
You can not use adb while in fastboot mode. Use: -
Code:
fastboot devices
Check you bootloader status with: -
Code:
fastboot oem device-info

That is some pretty good info. Finally, I managed to move a bit. My device was MTK, so that is why I couldn't get EDL to work.
I tried flashing several Global MIUI 7/8 ROMs for MTK with SP Flash tool, 8.0, 7.5, 7.3 and 6.6, but they all gave me (preloader ticked/unticked) the error: BROM ERROR S_SECURITY_SECURE_USB_DL_IMAGE_SIGN_HEADER_NOT_FOUND (6045) MSP ERROR CODE.
Google revealed nothing. I tried several versions of SP Flash tool and ROMs, but to no avail...
Seriously at the end of my rope here. What do? Thanks.

As I have a snapdragon version, I can not give anymore assistance.
Edit: How could you be flashing global roms for MediaTek? As for as I can see there is only official china roms for that device. http://en.miui.com/download-301.html#440
Maybe try an xiaomi.eu rom.

I have tried flashing some of the MTK ports from this guy. en.miui.com/thread-336480-21-1.html. They all gave me the same error. I will try to search for some MTK Global ports at the xiaomi.eu site, but I'm afraid the result will be the same.
Yeah, same error.

I don't. I was simply confused whether I had an MTK or Snapdragon.

Did you unlock officially the first time, if yes MiUnlock tool should unlock it again for you.
Edit: remember you need to be in fastboot mode for the unlock tool.
Hello XDA!
Recently a friend of mine bought a Redmi note 3 (Hexa core, kenzo?) and i was trying to flash the Global version with locked bootloader but i started to have some problems. First of all, i have all drivers installed but when i tried to connect it to MiFlash, it wasnt recognized (like it wasnt even plugged) even if fastboot devices was showing me the phone was connected ( http://image.prntscr.com/image/219faa372d8c4c18a15fd3c8c9c7a99d.png ) even after a refresh.
So i tried to unlock my bootloader and install TWRP and i succeded but now i have a bootloop, i think its normal since i still have chinese ROM and unlocked bootloader (or is the twrp thats giving the loop?) and i was looking for a recovery flashable version of it, is it possibile to find it or to fix my problem?
Hi everyone,
This is starting to really do my head in, considering I unlocked, flashed and rooted Redmi 3S on first try and in a few minutes.
I managed to unlock bootloader of Redmi Note 4 SD after finally installing correctly usb fastboot drivers (using MiFlash). I flashed TWRP 3.2.2.0, flashed OPT patch and SuperSU, and got a TWRP bootloop (phone always booted into TWRP).
Using MiFlash, I flashed Global Dev Rom and then phone updated by ota to latest 7.6.29. HOWEVER, stupid of me, I flashed rom with option checked of Clean All and Lock, accidentally locking bootloader again.
I try to unlock phone again with Mi Unlock Tool, log into my account succesfully and Tool doesn´t detect phone. Drivers are installed but Tool says Phone Not Detected. I unplug and plug usb cable to all ports and nothing.
However if I use older version of Mi Unlock Tool 1. 1, it detects phone but when I unlock ,it stops at 50% saying Couldn´t Verify Device. Account is bound to phone and I´m logging in with correct details.
Does one need to apply to Xiaomi again for a second unlock?? Driver problem? Account problem?
Anyone have any ideas? I would like to flash TWRP and root phone to be able to fix once and for all that FRIGGIN audio mic noise cancellation when recording videos, seeing as Devs don´t develop a rom with that huge bug patched.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Cheers!!
Did you try it? https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-4/how-to/bootloader-unlock-variants-to-read-t3565459 Read also second post, you should turn on oem unlock, and one apply for one phone.
Thanks buddy, tried all that, but I have posted in that specific bootloader thread to see if someone has an answer.
Cheers friend!
Hi, I have a redmi note 5 MEE7S. It actualy is buggy running MIUI V9.5.19.0.OEIMIFA stable global. I am able to connect to the phone ADB, fastboot and EDL.
Problem is : MIUI tells me that bootloader is unlocked but fastboot and all the MI utilities tell me that the bootloader is locked. Therefor I can't go trough the bootloader unlock process from Xiaomi as for MIUI it is already unlocked ! So I'm stuck....
I can't upgrade the phone to any official ROM by selecting manualy the package, I get the message : "can't verify update. Current version is illegal, only allowed to flash stable version".
The upgrade package I tried is a stable version ...
Any help would be nice.
Thanks
