Absolutely impossible to unlock MiPad4 - tested every tutorial the last 5 days - real - Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers

Hi guys, after 3 days of testing and testing to unlock my Mi Pad 4 i really have to ask what else i could do.
First what i did till now:
1. got my Mi Pad 4
2. Started it and got an update (i am now on version MIUI 10.1 Stable 10.1.1.0 (ODJCNFI)
3. tested it and because of problems with the GAPPS i wanted to unlock the device.
My account (i have a mi max 2 locked, Pocophone locked and Mi Pad 4) is verified already ( month ago - but i never unlocked a device).
I did not get a message which says you have to wait for xxx hours.
I tested on Win 10 home, Win 10 pro, Win 7 home, Win 7 ultimate.
I tested 13 different cables and overall i tried to unlock the device i think 743563475 times.
I followed every single tutorial i found. i enabled fastboot, USB debugging, OEM unlocking and added my account and device successfull.
My problems are: Most of the time when i am in fastboot and i plug the cable in the mi pads display turns black and it says 'press any key to turn off'
After trying to connect the fastboot Mi Pad 4 to my PC (no matter Win 10 or Win 7 ) after testing 10x or so it works.
Then in the Xiaomi unlocking tool my account gets verified if I have the rights. then it says unlocking ....
Sometimes it stucks at 50% and it says couldnt unlock, sometimes it stucks at 99% and it says couldnt verify the device.
I reseted the device. i tried everything.
i tested all sorts of drivers, i did really everything. When i try to use the command line and type in 'fastboot devices' only '?????? ' appears.
Month and years ago i unlocked 20 or more android devices (mostly LG or Sony) and i worked all the time. But now the Mi Pad 4 is my endboss i dont now what to do.
(i changed my PC so there are no old drivers from LG or sony on my PC)
In short:
i tested Win 7 and 10
i tested many cables
i reseted the device
i tested with and without windows in testmode
i tested with Mi unlock 3.3.827.31
I hope somebody can help me. thanks for every hint and help

And of course i tested the USB 2.0 USB 3.0 and USB 3.1 Ports on all PCs.

Try find your device if it's bound to another phone number

also there could be problem with your usb port. i have similar problem where if i connect my phone or tab to a certain usb port, it fails to detect properly in fastboot mode. port working just fine in normal mode for data transfer or charging. so try with another computer if possible. and in fastboot mode first check if ur device is available by using "fastboot devices" command. that will confirm if adb can access ur device accurately.

Does you use ryzen series? I aslo has this problem when I use my PC(2600X). When I use my Intel notebook, everything is okey. If you use ryzen series, try to turn to use intel CPU.

Oh man, you are GREAT !
Yes i am using Ryzen 2700x and yes, i built an old frankenstein Win7 PC with my old Intel components. Now its working. I am very angry, because now it says i have to wait 300+ hours before unlocking (even if i already did the unlock process weeks ago) but i am happy, that i now have ONE single "error" message. and now unlocking will be possible i think.
Now i am looking for a good tutorial of how to install WRP properly on my Mi Pad 4, but man, thanks a lot. do you know WHY ryzen is doing such things?

That's strange. I unlocked successfully on my Ryzen 7 1700 (Windows 10). Although - I did do the intial request on an Intel laptop a few months back.

1. what has your question todo with this thread?
2. many shops put own "ROMs" (mostly fake global ROMs) on the tablet, before selling it to international buyers. And for putting custom ROMs on the tablet, the bootloader must be unlocked. You can try original MIUI ROM or Xiaomi.eu with your unlocked bootloader. Would not recommand to use a ROM where the bootloader is opened.. You never know, what they re-seller has installed.

Hello friends,
Now I have a question, which makes me crazy:
Mi Pad 4 3/32GB Wifi
I have installed Miui 10.3 9.2.4 (weekly update) on my device and then got 2 OTA updates so I am now on MIUI 10.3 9.3.7.
Since then, this has happened to me twice, that is, when I restart the device, the device remains on the lock screen and I can not log in.
Everything is possible (use of camera etc. on lock screen) but the screen does not respond to my command to specify pattern or password, that is it does not come at all points for pattern or numbers to show password.
Many times restart did not help either, so I had to delete everything via TWRP (wipe) and then restart Android and I have to trouble fully reinstall everything (apps, etc.)
It's weird and I do not know what to do anymore.
Therefore, please for your advice.
Regards

My first suggestion would be to use a Stable ROM, not a developer.

Thanks for your feedback. I was in stable and it was not okay, do the setting was not remain on tablet. So after any restart I had to made some setting again. After being in weekly beta, it is fine.
May be other suggestion?

Mi Pad 4 is just one China version available. So you have to download mi flash tool for this device, used drivers also for your pc. Then you can connect your device to PC and start to unlock.
Remember you should have Xiaomi account with username and password.
After connecting to PC and starting flash tool you have to sign in and start. Normally will Xiaomi say you you have to wait for 2-3 weeks. After this time you can back and try again to unlock.
Remember during/ after unlock all of your data will be clean and you have to set the device again.
The rest is installing TWRP and European Rom (EU Room).
If you are from Germany [emoji6] then you are lucky cuz du kannst jede Menge Anleitung in Netz finden bzw bei chinahandy.net
Good luck, viel Glück
see the forums informations and I assume no liability and you do it at your own risk/ ich übernehme keine Haftung und du machst es auf eigene Gefahr.

I tried to follow the process as described above but I get stuck when I try to bond my device in the developer>Mi unlock status page. the system is asking me to put a sim card although this is a wifi only version of MI PAD 4. The China stable ROM is 10.2.1.0 ODJCNXM. I think that as long as the system asks me to put a sim card I am some how lost. any ideas what I could do next?

Ummmm, I think something was wrong. You need 7 time knock on kernel no to be a developer the activate debugging mode to be able to connect to PC, the rest will be made in PC...

I did that already, as aresult I can see the developer page from there I can go to the MI status can bond the device by pushing the button "Add device".
That is where my problem starts. The system is asking me to add a sim card.
