After unlocking bootloader of my Redmi Note 9S Global version on MIUI 11.0.8.0, device status was showing phone unlocked in developer settings & OEM unlocking toggle switch was permanently fixed on "ON" -All OK uptill here.
issues:
1- I then install TWRP & Magisk Root, After these, I looked at the device unlock status at the developer settings page. But, what I see, It shows my device is locked. I can now enable or disable the toggle switch, the option that gives permission to unlock. It seems my device is locked as before. But, I checked the status with fastboot commands. And it writes unlock status : true. And I can install everything, Magisk root works, TWRP working fine. Uninstall any program etc. I know the device is unlocked. But, why it shows wrong info (locked) in developer settings?
Perhaps Magisk is trying to hide that the phone is actually unlocked.
Hows in your mobile. ???
2- i noticed Find mobile in mi account , is giving wrong location after bootloader unlocked . showing 6-8 KM away from my actual location. Google Maps location is working 100% OK . Before unlocking , Find device was giving exact location. pls check & inform back if this is the case in your phone as well. Any solution ?

First of all thankyou very much Xiaomi for this!!!
Recently Xiaomi has released update for MIUI8 v8.1 2.
You can download it from its official website.
You should be logged in with you mi account in your phone.
I have already unlocked my redmi note 3 with same account so i did have the unlock approval for same account.
So i am not sure whether this will work without unlock bootloader approval.
No harm in trying.....
I was in Global stable rom v8.0.5
Steps:
Download the latest recovery rom v8.1.2 from the official website.
Save it in your internal memory in downloaded_rom folder.
Open updater app.
Select update pakage from menu.
It will update your rom to 8.1.2.
Nothing will erase by this.. All your files and apps will be there after update.
Once phone booted.. Go check the rom version in settings and then in about.
If its v8.1.2 then go to additional settings then developer option.
There you will see Mi unlock status go in it.
It will show locked.
at bottom you will see a button add account to unlock.
Press it, it will associate your Mi account to unlock bootloader request.
Download mi unlock tool.
Boot your phone into fastboot mode.
Login to your account in mi unlock tool and click unlock.
And you have Unlocked your bootloader.
Good news is unlocking bootloader does not erase your internal memory nor it formats your phone.
Enjoy!!!!!
I noticed and tried this earlier also but unfortunately have to report that it did not work. It was worded so that it seemed you didn't need unlock permission but you do.
But unlocking bootloader is already easy and totally legal. Why someone want to do like this way, instead of unlocking by better, easier way and supported by xiaomi?

This is the xiaomi way, it's just that in the new miui there is a screen in developer options that shows your unlock status. In there is a button that pairs your phone with your xiaomi account and then says to download unlock tool to unlock.
I tried it and it doesn't work without unlock permission. It's just a link to the unlock tool. However I think you need to add your phone from here to your account for unlock to work the "normal" way.

Yes, you are right.
You need unlock permissions.
You need unlocktool
You need to bind the phone to the account with unlock permissions (via developer options is 1 way, you can also simply login to MI account via Accounts)
Not working linking account to device in Dev Options

wait 2 3 days more. its normal. thier servers take more time . just try after 2 3 days. it will unlock.
my advice is that you should unlock it officially
regards
its more than a week for me , getting permissions..still I'm not able to unlock the bootloader ! Its like Xiaomi is forcing to stay on MiUi
Be sure you have:
1) added your mi account to accounts on your phone
2) enabled "OEM unlock" in developer settings
3) a miui dev rom

flash dev rom through miflash thn unlock bootloader
Try this if you have not found it yet in other post.
In About menu, unlock the developer mode. by clicking the MIUI version 7 times
Then go to Additional settings > Developer Options > Tap on Mi Unlock Status
Tap the only one button in this menu - to associate you Mi account to the phone.
Back to developer option,
Enable OEM unlocking and USB debugging.
Tested on MIUI 8 Global Developer Rom
Good luck

it says couldn't verify try again in a minute or two.
This is literally the worst device I have ever had to unlock. Completely ridiculous. I have managed to get a Beta version of the Global ROM installed after hours of screwing with this thing and now I still cannot unlock it. I'm signed into MiAccount, Location is on, OEM unlocking is on, debugging enabled etc and all I is the device is connected and I am logged in and when I flash the unlock tool is tells me cannot verify device.

i had the same issue, while you read online that u should do so many stages in order for this to work. all you have to do is wait!
just take yourself 10-11 days just to be safe, (mine was unlocked after 8, but i changes from person to person).
also just checking that u do have OEM unlock enabled in your settings, and ofcourse USB debugging, and that u have clockwork adb drivers on your PC.
hope i helped, let us know if it works after a few days
this is from my thread about it:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70484142&postcount=6
it takes time for the servers to sync, so just wait

I have Mi account and managed to unlock mi5s last year.
So now I try to unlock Redmi Note 3 Pro SD, it says my device not supported.
It's it true RN3P no longer can be unlock the official way?
Not really... I just re-unlocked mine yesterday. Try with China Dev rom. I was having issues with global dev and global stable. Unlocking just couldn't move ahead of 50%. But with China dev, the process was completed in less than two minutes on the very first attempt.

I'd add that the Kate version (Special Edition) doesn't have a China dev rom, and there are conflicting reports of unlocking with the newer roms. I couldn't get it to work with the current dev rom (forgot the exact version) and I just yesterday switched back to 6.7.14 and seem to had more luck. I'm still on my 'waiting period' of 72 hours though
The biggest hurdle for me was getting my Mi Account to bind with the newer versions (there's a specific option you need to set under 'developer options'), 6.7.14 doesn't have that & it seems not be a requirement (yet)

Oh okay my bad.... I just assumed you were talking about kenzo.
I guess i cant b really helpful in case of Kate.
I tried official unlock on global stable , Dev roms & was successful make sure to enable developer options hit allow bootloader to be unlocked ( device must be connected to a mi account & locate your device once ) & authorize USB debugging Also disable all screen lock , passwords ; keep device connected to internet switch to fastboot mode & unlock

hello guys...
i was able to get my bootloader unlocked officially....
i tried everything mentioned online but no luck it always gave error to 50 % on the unlock tool and via oem unlocking it mentioned couldn't verify device....
this is what i did...
1st enable dev mode.... make sure you have oem unlocking (only 6.0 and above) enable also usb debugging...
download latest unlock tool ... en.miui.com/unlock
download minimal adb tool .... https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
make sure you have adb drive (usb driver)
also just be extra caution instal mi pc suite (though i did it without this)
connect your phone
open command prompt as an administrator
move to adb directory.... and type adb devices to check if your device is listed
the type .. adb reboot bootloader
phone will reboot to fastboot screen
type fastboot devices to check device is listed let this window open
open mi unlock tool.....
login it will verify if you have permission if it fails try again eventually it would
click on unlock it would show a warning
now the important part
as soon as you click yes on warning remove the usb cable...... and as soon as it reached 48-50 % (not more than that) reconnect the usb cable
hopefully it would work....
Thanks
Hi
My Issue: Unexpected Bootloader lock by Xiaomi ADBFastbootTools while using Custom Rom (Xiaomi.EU) & Rooted Phone (Redmi K20)
My Phone: Redmi K20
TWRP Version: LR team TWRP 1109 for K20
I clean installed Xiaomi.EU stable rom ver. V11.0.2.0.QFJCNXM_v11-10.
Phone was rooted by using default feature provided in LR team TWRP recoevery. (magisk v20.0).
(If it helps, it shows in advanced settings of Magisk App, Preserve Force Encryption: ON, Preserve AVB 2.0/dm-verity: Off.)
I opened Xiaomi ADBFastbootTools and connected by phone. Developer Options was not enabled and thus USB debugging neither. So at that state of phone connected, I enabled those features. The phone popped confirmation for allowing the PC. I pressed ok and immediately right after, the phone bootloader was locked. It was updated on Xiaomi ADBFastbootTools. To confirm, I checked on the phone. Indeed it was locked. In developer settings, Allow OEM Unlocking option is there and turned on. However, It does not have the option of "Check Unlock Status" in developer mode anymore. So I can't add the device either for further unlocking.
My Xiaomi account is logged in and was also logged in when this happened.
What can be in this situation?
Can I even do a reboot? Or the phone will be bricked?
Is there a way I can unlock the phone again?
The situation seems very bad to me.
Looking forward for your support.
Thanks
