Is there any way to bypass Xiaomi's account system and wait time? It isn't only the pain in the ass, but I would trust an XDA developer a lot more than a Chinese corporation like Xiaomi with any possible privacy issues related to their bootloader unlock process.
I've seen a thread for the Mi 4c which seems to be similar to what I'm looking for.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-4c/general/guide-unlocking-mi4c-bl-verification-t3336779
Has anything similar been done for the Mi 8 Lite?
Thanks!
No
Good luck. Just be patient and read all you can about Mi8 Lite while waiting. That is what I did. Made the time pass more quickly. NOTE: Do not change sim cards mid-way through. It will reset your 15 days. Almost got burned by doing that myself.
I had the same issue. Try to use Miflash unlock version 2.3.803.10. MAYBE it can work.
u need to wait, no other way

My 3 redmi note 4x's were unlocked same day. Newer devices have the longer wait time. So far nothing you can do but wait.
The solution is in files

I've tried some versions of this program, but none worked, and I've seen and heard reports that the miunlock program does not really work properly. So I gave up unlocking and I want to undo it.
Please give me a name of a good device so that I can change it on my MI8 Lite? preference Motorola and Samsung.

Still sad that Xiaomi tries to make it so hard to unlock bootloader
I've just done unoff unlocking process without paying. If it is interesting, i can describe.
And for Mi8 also, but it need to edl-autorization flash (some money).

unofficial unlock
So here is instruction to get unofficial unlocked Mi8 Lite device ("platina").
Must say "bla-bla" about risk of damaging. My phone was "baseband unknown" problem, so no way to unlock officially.
You must have some skills.
All you need files except FW's are in attachment.
1. I have MI8Lite CN version 9.6.6.0. I dont know how about other versions.
2. Remove back cover and antenna cover to reach TP.
3. Extract attach, run miflash, select extracted directory, connect phone in 9008 mode and flash.
In \images only few files and corrected loader, so you dont need auth-account to flash.
4. At end of flashing (not during process!!!!) I got an error. It is normal.
5. Reconnect battery, press Vol-down, connect to PC. You must have fastboot mode and NO info on screen (it is normal, bcz your phone now "wayne" not "platina").
6. Run mi_unlock_en_sod, press left key in it then press right key. You must see green text in this program and your phone reboots. Still garbage on screen! But now unlocked!
7. Go to FW-directory of your phone (same as in your phone), edit flash_all.bat. Remove First and second line (checking phone model), save file.
8. Execute command "fastboot flash antirbpass dummy.img". Result must be OK.
9. Run flash_all.bat.
10. That's all. Your phone must turns on, unlocked and "platina".
11. Corrected firehose loader from \images can be used to flash any MI8Lite FW without edl auth.
On Mi8 process much easy but expensive. You need to flash 9.5.11.0 version via edl auth, run mi_unlock_en_sod, press left, press right. I have been done huge amount.
On Redmi Note 7 process must be same as on Mi8Lite bcz it is one phone in two different cases.

This is a tutorial on how to Unlock the bootloader of xperia devices.
First of all: This will void your warranty and only necessary to install custom kernels or custom roms. If someone told you to unlock the bootloader for rooting, you needn't do that. Just check out my rooting guide here. So let's go on - and - read everything carefully!!!!
I accept no responsibility for any damage of your phone or pc! You do all this on your own risk!
It will void your warranty and you will loose DRM, so you can't use trackid anymore. You mustn't do updates over the air, otherwise your phone will brick!!! You won't be able to update phone via pc companion or sony update service anymore, you will have to flash the rom via flashtool!
Unlocking the bootloader will wipe your /data partition. So please save your personal data before unlocking!
First you check, if your bootloader is unlockable. For that you have to be on stock sony rom. You type: *#*#7378423#*#*
Now you are in the service menu. Go to "Service info" -> Configuration and look at the bootloader status.
If Rooting Status -> Bootloader unlock allowed: yes, you can go on

}
1. Manually like on sony's homepage
2. Automatic with the SE Bootloader Unlocking Tool by quangnhut123
3. Testpoint Method
1. Manually
For this you need the following tools/files/etc:
- Android SDK from here
- Modified android_winusb.inf-file from here
- Fastboot.exe (Just search for it on google for example)
So let's start:
Go here and click yes. After that type in your IMEI. Go to your phone and type *#06#* and you will see your IMEI. Now go back to your browser, type in your Name, Email-adress and your IMEI and click submit.
LEAVE THE WINODW OPEN, IT WILL PROMPT YOUR UNLOCK CODE. Write it down on a piece of paper and lets go on.
Now we will set up android sdk. You install it to the directory you want and start it.
Check your Android Version, the Tools, and from extras the google usb driver and install them.
Now you go to the installation folder and open tools
and paste the fastboot.exe there:
Now you go back to the installation folder and open extras > google. There you paste the modified android_winusb.inf
Now we have everything set up and can go on the phone :good:
Turn off your phone and hold the unlock button (usually the volume up button) and connect to pc. The blue led will light up.
Go on the pc and your pc will ask you for drivers. Point to the android_winusb.inf-file and your phone will be recognized. If not, download flashtool from here and install it. You go to the installation folder and open drivers and install all the drivers provided.
Now we open a command window from windows and go to the installation folder of the android sdk. Then we go in the tools folder. Use the following commands to navigate:
cd .. = one folder up
cd foldername = open folder
dir = show content of the folder
And we can see the fastboot.exe in the tools folder:
Now the unlock process begins, make sure the phone is charged (over 20% is a must have, better fully)
We type in the command window:
fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version
and if we get a value like 0.3 the phone is connected and responsing.
The next step unlocks the bootloader
To unlock your bootloader now enter the following code:
fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xKEY
Watch Out: You have to change KEY to the key you got earlier!
If everything goes well, you have an unlocked bootloader now! Congratulations
Now we are able to flash a custom kernel/rom, so check this out to know how to install the new kernel/rom
This tutorial is based on the tutorial from sony. I don't own any files and if sony doesn't like me to do this tutorial, please let me know and I will delete this topic!
2. Automatically with the SE Bootloader Unlocking Tool by quangnhut123
For that you go to this thread and hit thanks. After that download the tool.
Remember, unlocking the bootloader will void warranty! After unlocking bootloader, never try to update ota (=over the air)! PC Companion and SEUS won't recognize your phone after the following steps!
Make sure your pc is connected to the internet, to get the unlock code from sony website. You will lose DRM like in the other tutorial!
If you want to unlock now, follow these steps:
1. Extract "SE Bootloader_Unlocking_Relocking_1.6.rar" and you'll find out "Flashtool-drivers.exe", run it to install. Check all drivers/phones, just to be sure all drivers are installed
2. Go to phone an input on the dial pad *#06#* to promt your IMEI.
3. Open the unlocking tool and in the first text field input the first 14 digits of your IMEI.
4. Press the Get Unlock Code button. Your unlock code will automatically appear in the Unlock Code Box.
5. Now turn off the phone, hold Volume Up and while pressing it you connect the USB cable to the computer. The blue led should appear, which means you are in fastboot mode to unlock bootloader.
6. Click the Unlock BL button. The program will automatically unlock your bootloader!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That's it, this is easier for newbie's, but remeber, it voids warranty! And do it on your own risk!
3. Testpoint method
If you don't want to void your warranty (okay you do, but you can relock your bootloader and with some luck sony won't notice it's been opened, so you still have your warranty ) you can use the testpoint method.
You have to mess around with the hardware. This sounds strange, right?
But it isn't even hard. Just read this great tutorial by DragonClawsAreSharp!
But note: This method will only work if your device was produced before building number 12w11 (as far as I know). You can check this number on the sticker under the battery
If you want to install a custom rom/kernel now, just go here for a guide
Thanks!!
Thanks!! Thumbs up!!
Nice guide for the newbie,deserved thumbs up from me

If bootloader unlock allowed:no you can't unlock it like this. Maybe you have a netlock or simlock?
Then you can just unlock using a paid method, for example wotan server, but that's more complicated and I can't promise that it works, because fastboot is disabled then

Yes this means you can't, but have you got a simlock? Cause if yes you must unlock the simlock (for example with wotan server which costs some money or maybe your provider could do it) and with much luck you can unlock after that. :good:
Try first if you can go in fastboot mode, so set everything up, android-sdk and all the drivers, the winusb file etc, and connect your phone when it's off with pressed volume up key to pc. If the blue led lights up, you should be able to unlock the simlock and after that you could unlock the bootloader.
But I'm not sure, some people told us, that the unlocking of the simlock doesn't change anything for them...
Hope the day will come that for new phones like my ST15i can unlock without loosing DRM
when type in this code nothing happens?

So you type
Code:
fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xKEY
and nothing happens (of course you replace KEY with your unlock code)? Have you set everything up and phone is already plugged in the computer (and it's in fastboot mode)?
What a value do you get if you type
Code:
fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version
?
Maybe your bootloader is already unlocked. Please just start flashtool (if you haven't got it yet download it from development section) and if it has started connect phone in fastboot mode (shut down, hold volume up, connect to pc). Please post the log here (Please as a code!)
My phone wont turn on!!!!Ray
Ok, I flashed the fxp145 kernel and unlocked the kernel. It did boot into cam but it gave me an error saying sector 7 so I gave it another shot after removing the battery, but that didnt happen,it didnt boot up and neither is it showing charger status on led. But, there is warmth on the battery. i charged the battery for five hours straight, and now it blinks red when i push the powre button, but it wont still wont turn on. Is there anything i can do?
Hey guys,
This one really has me stumped and I need some help. I have 5 Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pros - we're starting to use these at work. I bought two first to trial with, and they worked awesome on CM, and it was easy to unofficially unlock. I used this method. The next batch simply won't work with exactly the same process. I flash the device with 7.1.8.0 Global and the modified bootloader and whilst the flashing process goes OK, the device does not boot into MIUI afterwards. It flashes the MI logo twice, then shuts off. Plugging in the PC results in a blinking red light. Fastboot works, and I have been using that to reboot to EDL mode to try and fix it, but that's about it. Soft bricked.
So far I've tried both the original unofficial bootloader and the updated one from here and they both result in exactly the same behavior, both on Global ROM 7.1.8.0 and 7.3.6.0. Omitting this modified bootloader will result in the system being bootable on stock MIUI, but that's not what I want.
If I boot into fastboot and try to unlock the bootloader I get the following error: "FAILED (remote: oem unlock is not allowed)".
Has Xiaomi blocked unofficial unlocking or modified bootloaders via a hardware update? It's the only thing I can think of since I have two Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pros that worked flawlessly with this method (although I suspect they were slightly older stock). Is there any way around this? I have another 13 phones on the way and I don't really want to make 15 Mi accounts to unlock officially.
Why can't you unlock different phones on the same account?

Last time I checked it was one phone per month per account. Also, it takes ages, and doesn't always work (but neither does the unofficial unlock as I'm now discovering).

Well i can unlock an unlimited number of times on my account.
This is news to me... I'll try that then. Last time I tried official unlock it got to 50% and froze, so that's why I was trying to do the unofficial unlock. It also takes ages to get the code.
I'd still like to be able to unlock unofficially though.

I'm having the exact same issue!
I also tried to switch between stable MiFlash and XiaoMi Flash beta.
Yeah its really frustrating. I love these phones, but the bootloader unlock process is pure hell.
I found the solution:
Boot into a working ROM (e.g. 7.1.8 global)
1) Enabled Developer options
2) enable USB debugging
3) enable OEM unlocking (how could I miss this!?!)
After that you can flash the modified fastboot rom and unlock the bootloader.
Voila
I'll test this later and report back. I have a sneaky feeling it might not work...
Alright, an update.
Just before I went to do the unofficial unlock, I got a confirmation code saying that I am able to unlock officially. I tried this on one of my phones (China Dev ROM) and it worked great. I went to do the second one, and I got presented with this error:
{

Damn.
I then tried what you mentioned. Flashed stock 7.1.8.0, enable OEM unlock (it was enabled when I enabled dev options anyway...) and then rebooted to fastboot. I then tried to flash the emmc_appsboot.mbn file from fastboot... no luck. I get "FAILED (remote: device is locked. Cannot flash images)", which is no surprise since the device still has a locked bootlaoder. I then thought alright, well I have the ROM installed with OEM unlock enabled, lets try booting to EDL mode and flashing the ROM with the modified bootloader but without wiping data. I did that, and no luck - just flashes the Mi Logo twice and shuts off. Gah! There's something special about these phones. They must be running a new hardware revision that prevents modified bootloaders from being installed. The only way I can think of unlocking a bunch of phones is to create a heap of different Xiaomi accounts and use the official unlock method, but that is a major hassle!! Really frustrated about this situation. Anyone able to offer some insight?

Hey, after you enabled OEM unlock in the options reboot to edl and flash the ROM with the modified emmc_appsboot.mbn. After its done reboot to fastboot (Power & Vol Down) and perform "fastboot oem unlock-go". Sorry that my instructions were not clear enough.

The setting to "enable OEM unlock" is stored somewhere where MiFlash doesn't write during flashing.
If it is not enabled you get the error described in your first post (FAILED remote: unlock is not allowed).
You still need to edl flash the modified bootloader to unlock. Good luck
IT WORKED.
Oh my gosh. I could have sworn the "enable OEM unlock" option was active the entire time I was trying to unlock the bootloader, but nope. I must have forgot the first time around. The guide doesn't mention that this is necessary, although the screenshot indicates that it was enabled for them. It must have been turned on by default on some phones and turned off on some other phones. That must have been it. For some reason I also thought the system would be able to boot up with the modified locked bootloader, so I thought there was a problem there when it turned itself off.
In the end it was really simple:
Boot into stock ROM, enable "Enable OEM Unlock"
Reboot to EDL mode.
Flash ROM with modified bootloader
Reboot to fastboot
Unlock bootloader
Alright, consider it solved. And I feel like a massive idiot. Thanks! At least if someone else has issues with this they can at least know now that it was something silly :silly:
Hey,
What was causing the problem? Im trying to unlock bootloader from couple of days and I have no idea what to do now. I checked dev settings and enable OEM unlock every time when im trying to flash ROM with modified bootloader and every time: (FAILED remote: unlock is not allowed).
Do all in 64 bit windows then go to advance option n select raw and patch then it will work
Not works on marshmallow works on lollipop

Some days ago I flashed latest Global Stable on my Kate just for cleanup and I faced the same problem, but the funniest part: even with that error at 99%, MiUnlock opened my bootloader.
Boot in fastboot, connect the phone to your pc and check your bootloader status.

Some days ago I flashed latest Global Stable on my Kate just for cleanup and I faced the same problem, but the funniest part: even with that error at 99%, MiUnlock opened my bootloader.
Boot in fastboot, connect the phone to your pc and check your bootloader status.

Because when u flashed using miflash it did not relock your bootloader and that's why it's still unlocked it happened to me 3 times so this legitimate.

No, MiFlash blocked my bootloader, I made sure the program did it, I wanted to close my bootloader, after the flashing process I checked it and it was blocked (from fastboot "device unlocked : false".
My Unlock behaves strangely sometimes with Kate devices, in some spanish group, another person commented the same, 99% > error > but bootloader unlocked.

There is no other reason than your internet connection.
U need working internet connection to verify your device while unlock.
I had same problem. But later when i connected to internet while full process of unlocking it got unlocked...

Hope you got permission from Xiaomi to unlock your account/phone. Then the problem next is just need to map the account for unlocking from phone.
For this follow the instructions below..
Go to Developer settings -> Enable OEM unlocking and also go to Unlock status -> then 'Add my account' for unlocking. (You should see toast message that account is added)
The next painful part is you have to wait 72 hours after adding account. Then try unlock tool (Ver.2) to unlock it.
Hope it helps!

I tried both with developer and stable global
So it looks like some of you really need help with unbricking your device - let me guide you.
This is my first Xiaomi device (K20 Pro) and i hard bricked it after 30h of usage.
fastboot locked and "your system has been destroyed" message - nice!
So yeah, i was looking for some unbrick methods and didn't found any, so i researched a bit and after a few hours it was done.
Unfortunatly this method isn't free - but it is the cheapest solution out there without a needed appointment - aka fully automated.
For the moderators: this is the one of few available services to authorize a EDL flash, it is the cheapest and the only automated service.
I do not intend to do any kind of promotion here. Once a free method or cheaper service will be available, i'll update the thread accordingly.
Step 1: Open your phone - take off the backpanel and mainboard shield
JerryRigEverything K20 Pro Teardown - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sd6KpX5MRtI
Note: only top mobo shield needs to be removed, you can use a thin guitar pick instead of the razorblade (to prevent damage)
Step 2: Get your K20 Pro/Mi 9T Pro into EDL mode

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
1. First of all, unplug the battery connector (blue) from the phone.
2. Now short the 2 points (red) and keep them shorted.
3. Last but not least, plug the usb cable into your usb 2.0 port
(yes, the battery must be disconnected, yes, while doing so you must have the test points shorted)
4. Your phone should now show up in device manager as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" or "QHSUSB_BULK"
5. if your phone appears in device manager as "QHSUSB_BULK", you have to install the proper driver before proceeding,
please check out this tutorial: https://xiaomibuzz.com/downloads/download-qualcomm-qdloader-usb-driver.html
Step 3: Flash your device
1. Make an account at https://s-unlock.com
2. Press "Add fund" in the main navigation bar
3. Add 15$ to your account, i prefer to pay via PayPal - this would be 0.98$ fees - so after fees you pay 15,98$
4. After clicking on "+Add Fund", you'll be redirected to an invoice where you can pay through paypal
(paypal express selected in payment gateway option) via the "Pay Now" button
5. now the necessary credits will be available in the credits balance in the main navigation bar
6. download and install the latest version of xiaomitool (v0.2 currently) here: https://xiaomitool.net/download
7. after installation is complete, open the program and copy the "Fingerprint" from the "Login Area" section
8. open the site where you can order the needed service for the edl flash https://s-unlock.com/users/server-order?server_service_id=172
9. paste the previously copied fingerprint from xiaomitool into the fingerprint input field of the website and input quantity 15 (just like shown on the screenshot)
Note: the username and password on the order site do not have to match your s-unlock user account, you can pick a different username/password - just remember them!
10. press submit - your credit balance on the s-unlock site should show 0 now - don't worry, your credits have been transferred to the xiaomitool account
11. Open xiaomitool again and login with the credentials you chose during the order process (see step 9)
12. after clicking login, the program connects to the server and shows your current balance of 15 credits
13. download the correct fastboot-firmware for your phone from here https://mirom.ezbox.idv.tw/en/phone/raphael/
Note: Chinese variant requires chinese firmware on locked bootloader, same applies to india, russia, eea (eu) and global.
14. extract the downloaded fastboot firmware through winrar
15. select the extracted firmware folder in xiaomitools
16. Press "EDL flash" - it should detect your phone as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 Device" and request an edl authentication for 10 credits
17. confirm the popup - and the flash process starts if you did everything right
18. Congrats, you unbricked your device - and i'm sure you are able to reassemble it again by yourself
very detailed guide, thanks!
I have two questions,
how was your device bricked?
why does this work? why normal edl flash method wouldn't work?

some pictures are still missing, but they'll be added soon.
i locked my chinese k20 pro while beeing on the eea rom, turned out that was a bad idea.
well, xiaomi requires an edl flash to be authorized, and they just do that for service centers for example.
regards
Great, thx.
That's it... I have no intention to brick my device, but is really nice to know that, if all goes wrong, we still has a last solution. This forum needs this tutorial...
Congrats.
Great tutorial bro.
why shouldn't we try authorised service centres first?

You can, but if you've bought the phone from a different region they will probably refuse to look at it. If they will look at it, they will charge more than the cost of s-unlock credits.
Nice tutorial , useful for someone in the situation that you was are in to.
I have one other question that you probably do not have the answer to.
If you flash using this method an for example GLOBAL rom on CN device, will it unlock all the bands?
Using this method does it flash the modem firmware? Because the 855 modem supports all the available bands, but some are disabled by software.

No. You cannot unlock radio bands by flashing the modem firmware. If it was this easy there would be no point to Xaiomi setting different bands for different regions.
I have a question about rom, the model of my redmi k20 pro is M1903F11A, during my research to get rom I saw that for this model would be rom Davinci and not Raphael, or am I mistaken? Does this process you describe only work with this raphael rom?

it is raphael - k20 pro.
This process can be also applied to other xiaomi devices, but would need other fastboot firmwares.

So we need to add credit if we need to flash again?

Why this(Hard Brick) happened exactly?
last doubt before trying
Hello,
One last question, as I'm afraid of just spending another $ 15 and further increasing my $ 280 loss.
When you needed to do the procedure was your cell phone completely dead like mine? No bootloader, no fastboot, only black screen, no led on? Just being recognized in Window as QDloader 9008?
I am finding it very strange that my mobile is recognized as QDLoader 9008 without having to do the testpoint procedure. When I do testpoint nothing changes, continues QDloader 9008.
And another question, with $ 15 I only have one try? Or one flash successfully completed?

it'll authorize first before flashing everything but it sends a package to test everything to the device before, otherwise i can only suggest to pick a USB2.0 port while flashing.
And yes, i think its also possible to enter edl mode through a modified usb cable. Give it a try, it should work if you flash your original rom -> rom the device came with.
Regards
Ok, thanks for the tips, I will try this weekend calmly and well rested :good:
Although I am not very confident as i do not know so far if may phone is in EDL mode at all.

Let us know how it went, otherwise open it up and get it in tespoint manually again through the method described in OP - just to make sure you don't fail and have to pay for a second attempt.

Hey guys, similar to all of @Some_Random_Username's unbrick threads, here are the EDL packages (also known as MSM tools or unbrick tools) that can revive a bricked OnePlus Nord N200 5G.
Important: This is only for the T-Mobile variant of the N200. This will not work on the factory unlocked variant and may or may not work for the Metro variant.

Instructions:
Launch MsmDownloadTool V4.0.exe.
On the login prompt select "Others" in the dropdown menu and click on Next.
Wait a few seconds until main window shows up.
Press Start button so that it waits for your device to be connected
Power off your device
Press and hold the volume up and down buttons to get into Qualcomm EDL mode.
Plug your device to your computer.
Should you not manage to do that and have adb access, you can use adb reboot edl instead
Wait ~300 seconds.
Enjoy your brand new device.
FAQ:
Does this work on Mac or on Linux?
Unfortunately no, tool is Windows only. You should need at least Windows 7.
Why is my antivirus freaking out when unzipping the archive or running the tool?
In an effort to protect reverse engineering from being done (and by extension prevent conversion process like it was done on 6T and 7Pro), OnePlus now use VM Protect V3 in their MSM tools. As this tries to detect debug environment, this is seen as malicious behaviour by some antivirus.
How can I check my device project ID?
Use getprop ro.boot.project_name. This however involve having ADB access or access to OxygenOS to use Termux or whatever terminal emulator you prefer.
My device isn't detected
Go to device manager and make sure your phone shows up as QDLOADER 9008.
If it shows up as QHUSB_BULK, it means Qualcomm driver wasn't installed automatically by Windows Update. Download the latest one from Microsoft website at http://download.windowsupdate.com/c..._fba473728483260906ba044af3c063e309e6259d.cab (source https://www.catalog.update.microsof...updateid=8ee52ba0-bdef-4009-88cf-335a678dd67a ) and install it manually by right clicking on QHUSB_BULK and selecting "Update driver software" and "Browse my computer for driver software" to where you downloaded CAB file.
If you can't get into EDL mode by hardware keys, you may use adb reboot edl (will require your phone to still have ADB access)
MSM tool is stuck on "Param pre-processing"
Ensure you're using the Qualcomm drivers linked above.
MSM tool is stuck on "Sahara communication failed"
Unplug your phone, get in fastboot mode, turn off phone, wait 15 secondes and get back in Qualcomm EDL mode. You can also try using a USB 2.0 port instead of a 3.0 one.
What is SMT Download mode?
Just don't try to unlock that mode, it will wipe your IMEI and your Widevine certificate if you use it.
How can I fix "SMT config not found" error?

patiently waiting for the unlock
So just to confirm: For those of us with Tmobile version, this will install default rom from OnePlus and get rid of all the bloatware from Tmobile and technically make our devices be like they are originally purchased from OP?
And of course, in order to use this our bootloader needs to be unlocked?
Will this lock bootloader again?
And do we unlock it with same code we got from OP first time?
Thanks!

My understanding is the T-Mobile MSM Tools will restore a T-Mobile variant phone to the state it was in coming from T-Mobile; meaning if you debloated the phone, the bloat will be back.
You can use the MSM Tools even with a locked bootloader.
If your bootloader is unlocked, I believe this will lock it. (it may SIM lock your phone again as well, unsure...)
I think the same unlock token will work, but I'm hesitant to say 'yes' without someone testing it first.

1. Nope, this will revert your device back to the T-Mobile stock ROM, including all the bloatware. Thsi does not convert your device into an unlocked variant.
2. This works whether your bootloader is locked or unlocked. If your bootloader is unlocked, using this tool will lock it again, and you will need to unlock it by flashing unlock_code.bin again.

Thank you!
I read an article that was bit unclear and pointed to this so I wanted to confirm.
Also, from everything else I gathered, there is still no way to flash Tmob variant with non Tmob rom?
I was interested to try LineageOS but that's not available also seems like.
Phone's too new still. I think we need the MSM Tools for all the variants available before someone can figure out how to flash one variant into another, and we currently only have the T-Mobile variant's MSM Tools.

incoming August 176 patch
I have update installed.
You can use restore image on Magisk uninstall before you start. If you encounter problem, you can use original boot image and run "mock patch"
Install update and switch to Magisk when you're prompted to restart, and let Magisk to install in unused partition, and restart after finished
If you have problem with CTS after update, install riru from Magisk and download safetynet fix, and install in Magisk as well (you have to reboot twice)
I've successful restored my N200 phone several times using the MSM, but this most recent time it appears the process was interrupted and I get the following error when turning on the phone. I can not boot the phone back into EDL mode to run MSM tool again. Every 10 or so boots the phone will boot into fastboot instead of throwing the error. I tried flashing a backed up boot.img and super.img, but no luck getting past the error. Any way to recover?
automatic ddr failed
Thank you! I could only get this to work by:
Unplug phone
Open MSMDownloadTool, don't click start
Hold down volume up and down
Plug phone into USB 2.0 port
Release volume up and down, verify device shows up as QDLOADER in Device Manager
Click "Enum" in MSMDownloadTool
Click on the device in the list and click "Start"
I got bootloader unlock code. I need SIM unlock "One Plus Nord N200 5G" by Metro. Help me!

I bricked my phone late last night and found this forum & thread; my problem was that each time my computer kept showing my phone as "Kedacom" until I scrolled through and found this post.
You guys saved my ass AND saved me a trip to T-Mobile too! I owe you guys big time!
I successfully flashed a metro-pcs device using the tool in this thread. I bricked my device using the dsu loader in developer options. "Oem unlocking" is greyed out. Can anyone point me to a good bootloader unlocking tutorial for this devicel? Is it possible to use this tool with a rom that has already been rooted? Thanks,
Noob here. One thing to note: device was not recognized in the beginning. I held vol up/down at the same time and then plugged in device. Although the screen was black, the device was shown as "connected" and had no issues flashing. After 300 secs, voila!

You can try this tutorial. It worked for me on Tmobile, no idea about MetroPCS. Key line is
Code:
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.qualcomm.qti.uim
MSMDownloadTool wipes the entire device and relocks the bootloader if it was unlocked, it doesn't care if you're rooted.
