Hello guys,
as the title says, I want to unlock my Redmi 5 Plus and load LineageOS, but I'm stuck.
I was approved and this morning I received the text message confirmation that says "Permissions have been granted ...", but when I go to "Mi Unlock Status" and touch "Add account and device" i receive this error code: 86006.
These are my iphone info
upload pictures
I tried with 5 different VPNs, and restarted many times but nothing worked.
I read around that probably i have to wait 72 hours in order to unlock my device, is this correct?
Anyway any kind of help is really appreciated.
Thanks

86006 is not connection issue, its a server issue...
VPN issue is error 10008
try to flash developer rom, if the problem persist then welcome to the dead-end.
We're users from Indonesia, we've tried every possible method including tearing phone, short the circuit, test-point, etc...
It all end with either 86023 or 86006 error. We've got reply from official xiaomi Indonesia that stated the bootloader can't be unlocked anymore on official phone. It's weird because we're not bound to any specific carrier.
The only real solution is just to sell official phone and buy illegal unofficial phone from third-party reseller.
hopefully people at other countries still can unlock their phone

its simple, just download the file from xiaomi site, simply pick the recovery rom and put it on your phone
then from updater app, choose the option on top-right and select that file... it should be done in 10 minutes.

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).

To install unofficial rom you dont need to unlock bl anymore, just follow this instruction and you be all set.

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.
I went on to their website to try to request a firmware unlock code. The process did not work after inputting all the device info, and at the bottom of the site it says to email them if I had an issue, after emailing they sent me back the attached statement. Has anyone else run into this issue?
I just unlocked my 5x Friday afternoon with out issue. I made my account, filled out the required form and was immediately given my unlock code. Maybe you missed something on the form. I did have to google Huawei USA to find the proper site as the one linked in the TWRP thread is for Chinese only.
---------- Post added at 03:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:13 PM ----------
Oh yeah, I am in Oklahoma USA
Same here, unlocked two instantly..no waiting, within last 3 weeks, took some Googling but I too used the english site, my first tries burped me too something about it can take 14 days, but i went out and back in then had no trouble. Keep at it.
I'm assuming your device was carrier unlocked also? Mine was in English to, asked me for IMEI, model, and product id were among the fields I can remember. There was even a disclaimer before inputting the info stating that my warranty will be void and such. Guess I'll give it another go. Thanks.
Tried it again, I just had to pay close attention to capitalized letters while inputting the info, thanks everyone!
Just to make you sure, honor won't shut down the service to provide unlocking codes

Link to huawei unlock: https://hwid5.vmall.com/CAS/portal/...ndex&loginChannel=22000000&reqClientType=2023
1. you need to create an account if you do not already have one
2. after that you will have to agree to their terms which includes voiding warranty, etc...
3. When the screen pops up for you to input all your information, you must input everything exactly as it appears on your device. For example, in the Serial number and model fields, you must use capitalized letters because lower case letters will throw an error.
Hope this helps and good luck!

How is it through DC unlocker or any?
You need to pay 4$ to get unlock code through DC
ya seen that i thought he was mentioning the same thing any other new process but if there is no other process we need to use it as a last thing to get our bootloader unlocked.
I will go with that option if huawei no longer provides unlocking codes
Ya same here . hope huawei fixes the issue.
Hi! I just got my Redmi Note 4. I would like to get root access, and maybe install custom ROM, but I can't unlock the phone. When I go to the unlock site (http://www.miui.com/unlock/index_en.html) click Unlock Now button, fill all the gaps, check the disclaimer and click Apply now, I get the sms message with the code. Till this point everything is okay. But when I enter the code, and click Next button, I get this message in a poup window: 您所在的IP申请次数超标.. Google translated: Your IP application has exceeded the limit.
I tried already with 4 different internet vendors, on 3 different devices. I tried also with VPN (Hong Kong, and european countries too). I'm from Hungary btw.
Please help me, I googled this problem already, and I tried all the solutions, what I found, but still didn't succeed.

This can happen if you try too many times in a short time period. Maybe waiting for a day can fix it? Or else you can make a new mi account.
I think you wrote about another problem. If I ask too many times for the SMS code, the syytem sends a message in popup, but eith another (chinese) text, and I can't even get to the next page. This IP problem happened at the first time I ever were on miui.com page. I will try with a new Mi account.
Thanks anyway!

"This guide is usesless now.. Becuase honor is now not providing bootloader unlock codes... If you already have unlock code then you can follow the setups.."
To install Magisk and gain root in your honor view 10 you have to unlock your bootloader first.
##Please backup your data before proceeding with the process. You will loose all your data if you unlock the bootloader. ##
Please follow below steps to unlock bootloader
1) Create a Huawei ID on this page https://goo.gl/GkkdxE if you don’t have one already.
2) After creating a Huawei id, fill out the details.
3) You will need your phone’s IMEI number, to know that dial * # * # 1357946 # * # * on the dialer app. Fill the required fields and click the Submit button.
4) Save the unlock code you received.
5) Now connect your Honor View 10 to the PC with a USB cable.
6) In the ADB command window, type the following command to boot your Honor View 10 into fastboot mode.
adb reboot bootloader
7) To unlock the bootloader, type the following command and hit Enter. Replace key with the unlock key you’ve previously saved. For example, fastboot oem unlock 44801904392841
fastboot oem unlock [unlock key]
after filling out the details it takes me to an error 404 page

I'm already unlocked. I was searching for the other member. Thing is, the OP should update the thread.
Tryed to reach Honor on Facebook and Twitter. No reaction.
Any news on getting honor to respond and helping you unlocking the bootloader on the BKL-L09?
I'm based in the UK.
I tried registering on https://emui.huawei.com/
it has all sort of countries listed including the vatican but it doesn't have any European UK US countries. I decided to pick hongkong, and registered nevertheless.
The unlock bootloader link as seen on youtube video guides doesn't show up on https://emui.huawei.com/ and any direct link point to error 404.
I sent an email to [email protected] and surprisingly, as it's the only email address available on the whole website, my email bounced back.
I'm in the situation where I'd like to have the ability 1-2 years from now to unlock the bootloader without any fuss. I could even consider unlocking the bootloader and voiding warranty now for fear of this option disappearing from honor completely in the future.
But if getting an unlock code is not an option, or if it won't be an option in the future I wish there was a way to know now so I can return the phone.
Thanks

Hi
I want to unlock my Pocophone F1. I enabled developer options, activated OEM unlocking, USB debugging and created an xiaomi account. However, I have a problem, when trying to add the account to mi unlock status. I keep getting the error: Couldn't add. Device does not exist in the server
When trying to use the mi unlock tool, I get the message to add my account to mi unlock status when I'm at 99% which I can't due to the error above. Tried serveral versions I found.
I have a sim card inserted, tried logging out and back, even factory-resetted the phone but still getting the error. Already waiting since 3 days. Does it help to wait a few days more or is this just waisted time?
My Pocophone F1 is brandnew. Could this be an issue?
Thanks.

Yes, but there isn't really much to follow because I can't get past step 5.
Well, that's kind of frustrating.
I've tried pretty much everything with no success. I wrote to Xiaomi customer service and they basically told me that they will not help me because unlocking the bootloader is not a typical customer service (I thought unlocking the bootloader is a feature of this phone as they provide an official way and tool for it). They also told me not to do that for security reasons and that I will void my warranty (although that's not true afaik - I don't care about the warranty anyway). I don't know if I'm allowed to post the content of the mail, but there isn't any other useful information in it anyway.
I'll try again occasionally over the next two weeks or so and then just sell it. Unfortunately, the back of the phone has a very small, almost not noticable scratch, so I don't think I can return it to the store where I bought it (the phone is only a week old).
Too bad, I really like the hardware, but the phone is unusable for me with a locked bootloader. It's like buying a TV, but the TV only has one channel and you're not allowed to change the channel. Well, it's not really the same, but you get the point.
This was the first and last time I bought a Xiaomi phone.
Cheers
