Hi,
In most cases you just need to wait a bit for the Xiaomi servers to sync up.
But, It could be your device is not being detected properly & in this case try installing the PDAnet drivers:
http://pdanet.co/bin/PdaNetA4197.exe
Install*PDAnet drivers on your PC, and follow the installation process. Even if your PC says you have ADB drivers installed, go ahead and install these. DO NOT SKIP USB INSTALL, otherwise drivers will be installed just for bluetooth, which is not*what you want. Select "other" when asked about the make of the phone.
Reboot your PC then try to unlock again.
Let me know if this works for you.

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.

[an all fix for bootloader unlocking issues] on 3s/prime/3x

Please kindly refer to the thread and read the details steps and instructions because it seems like everyone is trying to hit the unlock procedure without knowing that the stable(global) version of the ROM is not apt for the official or any unofficial unlock procedure !
PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE DISABLED DRIVER SIGNATURE VERIFICATION IN YOUR SYSTEM.
Unlocking Bootloader Procedure:
1. Download zip file (recovery file) of OFFICIAL MIUI China developer ROM for your device :
http://bigota.d.miui.com/6.12.8/miui_HM3SGlobal_6.12.8_b00ffce744_6.0.zip
Please don't get confused with the link as it's indeed a Developer ROM by 'global' in between the link and not the Global stable ROM, you can check it yourself.
Other ROM would not work. Then put it into phone storage. Go to Updater app, press the three dot on upper right corner, and select 'Choose update package'. Choose the zip file you just put in phone storage. The update will wipe all user data, please make backup beforehand.
2. Log into the Mi account which has acquired unlocking permission on your device. Make sure it's the same with the account you sent your request. It's recommended to connect to the Internet for Mi account to sync
3. Turn off your device, press the Power button and Volume - button at the same time to enter bootloader mode
4. Log into the unlocking tool on PC with the same Mi account. Connect the device with the PC using USB cable
5. Press 'Unlock'. The unlocking process will complete in about 10 seconds
For those who already bricked your devices you may using Mi PC SUITE to reflash your device.You are advised to download it to install necessary files (ADB and so on) .
Hi... as far as i know.. you need to be on the same rom from which you have applied for bootloader unlock..
i bought new redmi 3s last week.. and same day applied for unlock... and when going through different threads.. lot of people saying that we need to be in developer rom or Chinese rom to unlock boot loader..so i downloaded global developer and installed it..
with in 2 days i got confirmation from xiaomi that i have permission for unlock.. to my bad.. every time i tried to unlock boot loader its stuck at 50% with current device information is different error..
so finally decided to downgrade to the same version from which i applied for unlocking.. so tried Deep flash cable method to put phone in qualcom loader to bypass bootloader... and installed same global stable version.. after successfully installing stable version tried unlocking.. and voila... bootloader unlocked with in 10 Seconds...without any hitch...
So if you want to unlock bootloader... wait for atleast 7 days after you get confirmation message from xiaomi...

Yes, glad someone else noticed it too. Yes I had trouble for a lot of days with developer ROM after getting permission a week back but no luck.
PS: Disabling Driver Signature Verification is paramount in this process.

Unable to unlock bootloader

I had received the bootloader unlock permission for my kenzo on December 12th, but whenever I try to unlock, the notorious "Couldn't verify device" error appears. I've been repeatedly trying to unlock for the past few days, but in vain. I have only one Mi account, which received the unlock permission, and my device and laptop are logged into it. I have tried all of the following tips prescribed in various forums:
1. Tried signing in to i.mi.com and use find device service.
2. Disabled driver signature enforcement in my laptop.
3. Removed pattern/pin and fingerprint.
4. Bind Mi account for unlocking in developer options, but it shows some 86012 error.
5. Flashed MIUI 8 global developer rom 6.12.22 (currently using it).
6. Emailed Xiaomi India service, which advised me to take my phone to service centre!!
7. PM'ed some mods in MIUI forum about the issue.
8. Tried different versions of the MiUnlock app.
9. Tried doing it on different USB ports and different PC.
10. Patiently waited for many days. :crying:
I have all the necessary drivers installed in my laptop, and of course, I have enabled OEM unlocking and usb debugging in developer options.
So, after patiently waiting for 16 days after receiving unlock permission, I am ultimately about to give up on this. Is there anything else I can do to get my device unlocked?? (PLEASE DO NOT SUGGEST UNOFFICIAL METHOD).

Yea...good to know...for some users it gets unlocked without any hassle, even on global stable ROM...it just depends on whether your device details have been refreshed in xiaomi's servers...
Yeh...Global stable Rom can also be unlockable.
It's been 5 days but still no luck

It doesn't matter, just wait for 4-5 days without trying to unlock the phone and try after 4-5 days , your phone will be unlocked..
Older version dont work. Still binding time is too short. Any solution? This process is insane. Wait por 3 days to unlock, xiaomi sucks.

how to unlock bootloader if u are getting 86012 error and stuck at 99%

If u have got the unlock permission by sms but not able to bind then follow the instructions:
1) First goto mi bootloader by holding volume button and power button.
2) connect your phone to windows laptop
3) Goto device manager and under connected devices search for Android device... Then update the driver and now u can see it is updated to Xiaomi.
4) Use a older version of mi flash tool.
5) This will unlock your device
not working bro, on 86012 error
Where exactly are u stuck? U don't have to bind the account. Older version of mi flash tool doesn't​require it
Is it really safe to use an old version of the unlocker for the note 4 though?

Yes I guess. The newer version is just made to be compatible with windows 10 and also account binding is compulsory. So if u want to still use new version of unlock tool then good luck as u might have to wait for days, months ,year's for it to sync and bind. Haha

When I got the permission to unlock the bootloader, I didn't have time to do so. Did it after 20 days or so, and got the "86012some Chinese letters)" error. Tried everything:
1. new Unlock tool and old unlock tool.
2. Sign out from Account and sign in again.
3. Turn off find device and then turn it on again.
4. Reset the phone.
5. Updated.
And pretty much everything I could find on youtube and forums.
And then tried the last thing.
Wait for 5-10 days.
I didn't even bothered binding the Account again for 10 days.
Then attempted just by turning on 'oem unlock', 'USB debugging', 'USB debugging security. Didn't even touched the bind Account thing.
Attempted the unlock and voila, it worked.
I've unlocked 3 phones in the same way, with the latest unlock tool, without binding, each one of them showed the same error. And tried all of the above steps 1 to 5 in two of the phones. Didn't bother doing the update for third phone. And the same steps worked for each one.
Don't know what it is? But its successful everytime. Will try on more and will tell.
I had facing the same issue too, i just wait for 7 days and did nothing since the first failed one.
And after 7 days, today i tried the same way and unlocked.

Unlocking Bootloader Redmi Note 4(SD)

I want to root my 6months old redmi note 4, I've got the permission to unlock my phone, I got it 2 months back, now I'm trying to unlock it with the MI unlock tool(2.3.803.10), but the tool doesn't detect my device in fastboot mode, I tried it with another MI unlock tool(1.1.0315.1), which successfully detects my device and when I try to unlock it it stops at 50% asking me to update the software version, and when I try it on the updated version it doesn't detects my device. What's the problem here? I can see my device in fastboot mode in command prompt. Please help, I've tried so many times but unable to do it so far. I've installed all the drivers but it doesn't help.
Hi,
you are in a wrong section. Please post in correct one.
Anyway, as I remember you should be on developer rom to be able to unlock.
Go to official miui global web and check Developer rom installation instruction using Fastboot method. Then unlock.
This shouldn't be in dev subforum.
Btw try with different pc. I've got the same problem earlier. New mi unlock on my old laptop with win 7 32bit doesn't detect my phone, older one detected it but then stucked at 50%. Tried with my friends pc with win 10 64bit and works flawlessly. In my case i dont even need to be on dev rom, I've unlocked on global stable 9.0.5.0.

1. hold power and volume up to go to stock recovery. connect the phone to PC so that the driver gets installed automatically. then try unlovking again (from fastboot)
2. make sure you use a USB 2.0 port.

I did run into problems too. For me it was a driver issue on my Win7 64 bit PC.
As far as I recall, you need to check first, that the phone in fastboot is appearing in the device manager as "Android Bootlader Interface". I think there is also a check driver button in the MI unlock tool at top right corner. I hope that helps.

Same thing alwas happening with me also . Wait for 4-5 days then try again . This happens because ur device info has still not uploaded to MI servers. Wait & try after 4 5 days will unlock for sure ?
