Unlock redmi 8a bootloader - Xiaomi Redmi 8A Questions & Answers

I am facing difficulty in unlocking the bootloader of my device. The Mi Unlock tool says "couldn't Unlock, unknown error (-1)" during the final unlock process.
Do I have to wait a particular time before it can be unlocked. Please I need help
Using Global version 10 updated to 11

for my device 168 hour after unlocked preblemless
chek your driver on pc

I also have to wait a week after request unlocking. Make sure you send request and the mi unlock tool is the lastest version from official website.

I cannot even start the procedure it keeps saying my sim card is not activated, and when I try to see the unlock status (part of the unlock procedure), it keeps sending me an error that it cannot send the sms, but i can send sms no pro blem and have more than enough data available, I cant go past this until my sim gets "activated"no idea what it means, I have been using this sim/number for years

Sorry, your application has been Rejected.

I got permission Long back when i was on MIUI 7 earlier Build but now when trying again to unlock the bootloader, Mi Unlock tool stops while authenticating my user ID and it responds
"Your device isn't supported by Mi Unlock, go to unlock.update.miui.com to apply for Mi Unlock support and view the progress". When i go to that link (i.e. the Mi Unlock application site) and i click on the only button in there "Unlock Now" it simply goes to a simple web page that says "Apply for unlocking permissions. Sorry, your application has been rejected. The more active your Mi Account is, the more likely your application will get approved." with no further action possible.
I have planned to flash RR N Update for that i have gone through the process of using mi unlock app for unlocking bootloader but i am getting such message.
Please Help me out i am in search for the solution.

Unlock permission is valid for only 1 month. You will have to reapply. Or unlock unofficially

Unlocking unofficially is very easy. But you will have to make downloads of 1.5gb
Here is the link for the guide:

While installing MiFLash you may have to disable Driver Signature Verfication for installation of drivers.

I have unlocked the bootloader unofficially 6-7 months ago and I still have no issues.

No, unlock permission is for account, you can unlock one device each month. No need for reapply.
Device not supported could be wrong rom version, you need developer version for unlock.

try this. This is neither official nor unofficial. I got permission from mi to unlock bootloader. This is a dump image of devinfo which contains the unlock state. Sort of like a token file. Flash it via edl. Flashing files included.
All you have to do is start your device in edl mode. check you port number, and run unlock.bat file.
Is this still valid and also available for the redmi 4 prime ?

Gets stuck at 50% while unlocking bootloader.

I applied for unlocking bootloader and it was accepted. I logged via same account in MIFlashTool and in phone. When I try to unlock it just gets stuck @ 50% and an error pops up 'Current Account is Different from the Account Info on the Device Redmi/Mi'. I have disconnected my other mobiles from my main MI account. Debugging mode and OEM unlocking is ON. Needs to unlock bootloader to using custom ROMS( who doesn't!?)
Using Redmi Note 4 SD.
PS: Tried all the solutions in net, didnt worked.

Hey bud, wait few more days, dont try again and again youll get your device unlocked eventually.
That ''Account mis-matching error'' is being faced by everone who tried to unlock their bootloader after getting permissions from xiaomi. so, if you look closely there are multiple threads regarding unlockin bootloader. so, wait few more days, may be 5-7 days, then try unlocking your phone, it should work. :good::good:

Wait for a few days..like 4-5 days. Don't try to unlock during these days. Then unlock.
You are getting that error because Mi hasn't updated your permission status in the status.
Same thing happened with me.
And don't try unofficial unlocking methods.

Yo, doesn't matter you still have the message or not.
You got the permissions and it's failing to unlock bootloader every time you try, right?
DL fly VPN from Playstore and run the app, choose shanghai server and go to additional settings > ki unlock status > you'll see an option like bound mi account, tap it and ignore if you get any errors.
Next, do no try everyday, just wait few days, like 5-7 days and try unlocking at the 5th day. Use latest unlock tool.
Every mi users who had unlocked their bootloader faced the same issue, heck even 21 days. I got mine unlocked after 10 days lol
So, do what I said and wait few days, you'll surely get your phone unlocked! :good:

Always 99% / 86012 error while unlcoking bootloader - [ UPDATE - UNLOCKED! ]

UPDATE : Okay so i finally unlocked the bootloader finally. before the last try, i turned off the password/fingerprint lock and then it unlocked. everyone should try the same thing
I done every possible steps but nothing is happening! the bootloader unlock process always getting stuck at 99% and Account Bound error is coming on the PC and on the phone, "86012:*****" error showing on 'settings-additional settings-dev option-Mi Unlock status'.
I tried with 2 different Mi phone/account.
done with i.mi.com stuffs and find device, tried FlyVPN but there is no server of 'Shanghai"... etc!
Nothing is happeneing! I am a beta tester of MIUI 9 China, and see, i couldn't even unlock the bootloader yet! Wow! What a thing! Its been a week and so, still my bootloader is locked.
No help from Xiaomi.
I need a promising way to unlock. so help me.
See, I have unlocked three RN4 devices, none without the wait.
Had to wait 6-7 days for each one of them. There has been no luck for me in doing anything other than wait for 6-7 days after getting the permission.
But then, maybe something might work out for you.
The steps I tried or know of:
1. Being on the developer ROM is a must. Chances of unlocking bootloader from global stable MIUI are very slim.
2. Use old Mi Unlock tool. A quick google will land you there.
3. Don't change the accounts in the phone. You should be logged in with the account you got permission in.
4. Go to developer options and check "USB Debugging", "OEM Unlock" and one more option something sort of "USB Debugging Security".
5. Try to bind the account. It will yield a response with some code and Chinese text. Ignore it.
6. Use the original cable and use the ports on the back of the CPU.
7. Keep "Find my device" turned on. And log in to your account in your desktop and try locating your phone.
8. Now try unlocking.
I followed all the above steps I could find out from anywhere and I was able to do it.
In your case I do think you are either not in the developer build or you need to use the old Mi tool.

Can't unlock bootloader || flash new ROM...

Hello.
I recently got my new Redmi Note 5 3/32GB Global version. Simply, I don't like MIUI's 10 performance, so I want to use custom ROM. I logged to my MI Account, downloaded Mi Unlock (v3 and v2).
v3 - account application area query failed
v2 - it counts to 50% then stop with message "Device unlocked no need to repeat unlock"
Mi Flash - does not see my device, same as fastboot. USB Debugging enabled, currently running on MIUI 10.0.2.0.
+ I tried to create new account, ends up with some error message in chinese.
How to unlock that tarded bootloader? Thanks for your time...
Did you follow every step? Checked "OEM Unlock" in settings, linked account to device?

By the message that you received it looks that your device was shipped unlocked.
What do you type in fastboot mode to say fastboot doesn´t recognice it? provide some screenshot.
Did you check in developer options to verify if is already unlocked?

Nope, it's kinda common problem.
Finally, after 3 hours I got message which says, I have to wait 357 more hours to unlock bootloader. Factory reset + No SIM helped
