I have the GLOBAL version of POCO X3 GT (chopin) 8GB/256GB and its a good device but the Google Dialer is making the whole phone unusable becuase of its Call Recording.
1) It does not have Automatic recording for all calls
2) Even after manually recording calls it takes ages to search for recorded files as there is no way to access them.
I do not want to root my phone for security reasons however I came across some posts which mention that the INDONESION firmware has MI Dialer & Contacts instead of Google which is enough incentive to void my warranty and try to change firmwares.
It has been a couple of years since I last played with custom roms, bootloader, fastboot flashing, etc. So I would appreciate if you guys can help me with a few questions:
1) Bootloader unlocking: Whats the best method for Poco X3 GT
2) Method to flash different region stock firmware
3) Is it safe to re-lock the bootloader after the new region firmware is flashed? or do I need to leave the bootloader unlocked?
1. use the official xiaomi bootloader unlock tool
2. Easy, just download the region fastboot rom you want and extract them. Flash via MiFlash -- pay attention to tick clean all in the corner of the screen if you don't want your device to be bricked
3. don't relock, if you lock the bootloader on other region firmware, you will be bricked

Oddly enough, this was not my experience. I unlocked my bootloader, flashed the Indonesia version 13.0.5.0 fastboot image using MiFlash using the clean all option. Then after booting and setting up the phone, it offered the update for version 14.0.1.0. I let the phone complete the update. Once the update finished and the phone had booted up again I rebooted it to bootloader mode and ran the command fastboot oem lock. The phone went through a factory reset and then booted successfully to the new phone setup dialogue.
Also to mention that I did also experience problems with 5GHz WiFi with version 13.0.5.0 but these problems were resolved after the version 14.0.1.0 update.

Even after update to 14.0.1.0 my 5Ghz wifi did not work. After waiting months I have just flashed back to global 14.0.2.0.TKPMIXM firmware yet still 5Ghz wifi is not working. Can someone guide how to fix it? Have I messed up its baseband or something during flashing?
Still unlocked bootloader?
As a comparison, whenever I unlock the bootloader on my Nokia 7 Plus and flash a custom ROM, I am not able to use 5GHz WLAN. It only works after relocking the bootloader and flashing stock firmware.
I am not sure if this was the same with the X3 GT and I cannot test it anymore as my wife took the phone and I am now using a X4 GT.

first of all i downloaded the latest dev rom available then i.e- "miui_HMNote3ProGlobal_6.9.22_91df209107_6.0.zip"
i used the updater app to flash but it always says "can't verify package"
so my kenzo is locked and i was unable to do anything using fastboot and recovery
so i went to edl mode used miflash to flash the rom
everything was going well until it said that i didnt have enough space and then i messed up everything by leaving edl mode and then had to get my kenzo fixed
what should i do to get to dev rom now?
ask for and get official bootloader unlock.
unlock bootloader, then flash using fastboot.
FWIW, 6.9.29 is the latest official global.
If you want to flash using updater, you have to go back to 6.8.18 through updater, then go forward using updater.

I flash on global stable rom (8.0.1.0 and 8.0.2.0) and no issues.
Are you signed into the i.mi.com site using the exact same credentials? I unlock using my email and I've done it about a dozen times since so many roms have locked the bootloader after I've flashed, never an issue.
I didn't wait more than 30 min after receiving the sms indicating I had permission to unlock.
I was having the same issue. Today, following I did the update successfully using this tutorial: http://en.miui.com/thread-235865-1-1.html
I used that guide to flash my new phone with locker bootloader with 8.0.1.0 Stable since my phone came with a vendor rom that FC'd when I tried to add a fingerprint. The guide worked perfectly. Just make sure to use the latest version of the MiFlash tool. Some of the older versions will fail to flash.
I bought Redmi 5 plus last month..
It was with Nougat 7.1.2 in the form of Miui 9.2.0.2..
I checked in official Udater app and it shows no update available.. But in Xiaomi Forum I found a official update to Miui 9.2.6..
Some users told that I m using a fake Miui Rom which was preinstalled in my phone..Anyone has any idea about it..?
One more thing, In Developer option I found my bootloader is unlocked but OEM Unlocking option is not available (Follow the arrow marks in last Screenshot).. A Unlocked sign also appears when I restart my phone..Now my question is my bootloader is locked or unlocked..?
Thanks.
Hey.
It looks like your phone is unlocked. If you have adb Enabled on your phone then you can easily just flash TWRP and a custom rom. Such as xiaomi.eu.
Not too sure if you need mi unlock tool.
Same thing with mine. I suggest you flash a custom Rom like Xiaomi EU or go with the official Firmware on the Mi site.
If you go with the custom roms, you'll need only the TWRP via ADB.
If you'd go with the official, there is an instruction on how to on the site, but they suggest you use the MiFlash tool.
It seems like the seller has already unlocked your bootloader in advance. The problem with this though is that it's going to be a pain when your bootloader will be locked as it is already bound to another device. If you want to go back to stock, I advise flashing the fastboot files using Xiaomi ADB instead of using the MiFlash tool as MiFlash could relock your bootloader.
Any successful solution yet? I have exactly the same situation as the problem described here. I also have a Redmi 5 Plus. MIUI 9.2.0.2. Showing as "unlocked" under Developer options but if checked through fastboot oem device-info, "device unlocked: false"; "devise critical unlocked: false".

I bought R5+ from a seller with:
Unlocked bootloader
(I think) Fake Global Rom
Less bands [Chinese](it supposes my 4g shouldn't work)
I tried to install Twrp for the official method thread, but I couldn't, then I tried for two more methods but when I noticed my bootloader had changed from the BL mode to charger mode and then I repeated the process but without results.
Somebody can tell me why the BL is not working properly?
Or if I shouldn't do that. Or what should I do?
Thanks for your time.
Note: I update successful to MIUI Global 9.5 | Estable via OTA

In the case to root by One click root method I activated the usb debugging, in the process it began well but in the 14% the BL mode gone out.
Then I used adb but in the process to use commands, the BL again did the same as the 1clickroot.
For that reason I don't understand why it goes out?
Hello. First let me explain my situation.
So, today i bought a used Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 (SD)
I have a problem. I dont know if my phone is unlocked. When the phone is booting up, on the bottom it says unlocked, then it changes to powered by android.
Last year i had a Xiaomi Redmi 3 which i unlocked myself.
I downloaded the MiUnlock Tool from the official website, when i signed in it was authenticating my account with success (I dont know if i should ask for another permission for unlocking, as i already asked for permission for the Redmi 3 a year ago). When i clicked unlock, first time it went to 50% and it said with green Phone already unlocked. When i clicked unlock again it said unable to recognize phone error 1, or something similar to that, i did chech the drivers in the program, everything was fine. I tried that two more times, same problem.
In developer options in the 'MI unlock status' it already says 'unlocked'
The questions:
1.How do i chech if my bootloader is unlocked ?
2.If it is not unlocked, do i have to ask for permission from Xiaomi ? If so, how long is the waiting time (i heard that now its longer than before)
3. The phone is with Global MIUI firmware. Do i have to flash chinese developer firmware ? And for that does the bootloader to be unlocked, or its a step that has to be taken in order to unlock the bootloader ?
I searched on some subforums buts its been a long time since ive done this, so i thought i'd ask here.
Thanks in advance. Sorry for the long post, but i hope you'll read the whole thing.
1.It seems that your phone is already unlocked. You can check it like you already did; under developer options and startup.
2.I heard they gave up the 'permission to unlock' procedure. Not sure though. You only need to unlock bootloader when it is locked.
3.You should flash the global developer rom. Firmware is included. Although you can also flash the China version if you want.
I would flash the global developer through MiFlash tool and after that twrp and possibly some custom ROM if you want. When flashing custom roms, you should always check for the newest firmware before flashing and right after wipes flash that firmware before rom flash. https://www.google.com/amp/s/forum....nt/firmware-xiaomi-redmi-note-4-t3760917/amp/

Hello,
After receiving my new Motorola x40 I realized that I wasn't able to use my GooglePay nor did it have other language support. So I decided to unlock my x40 bootloader via https://en-us.support.motorola.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your- device-a
It all worked. I managed to install a global rom with all the google apps and extra language support.
However, Global rom didn't allow my GooglePlay to use my cards or backup via googleOne since the flashing was unlocked. So I went to fastboot to " fastboot flashing lock". After which my cards were able to work.
After few days of using global rom I decided to go back to chinese one since I found it a bit easier to navigate.
So when I decided to go back to my old chinese rom, in "Developer Options" OEM unlocking says "Connect to the internet or contact your operator" and it is greyed out.
I tried using " fastboot flashing/oem unlock" in fastboot however it tells me that i need to unlock it in " developer options " first.
My phone has already been connected to wifi for around 90 hours on a Global rom And around a week before I transitioned from Chinese room over to global rom.
How long do I need to be connected to the internet or what operator do I need to contact to unlock my OEM again? Or maybe there is another way to unlock OEM without waiting?
Things I tried and failed:
1) Factory reset
2) Wipe/Cache reset via recovery3) "fastboot flashing/oem unlock" via bootloader
Global rom used: https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/motorola/rtwo/official/RETGB/
Have same problem.

How many days are you in this state? maybe you are closer to 7 days than I am
The toggle to unlock the bootloader is now enabled for me after 8 days. I have the Edge 40 Pro.
mine too, didn't look before, i own mine since 14 april
Ok so the theory is that once you get a global rom and "fastboot oem lock", it will act like new phone and will only unlock after 7-8 days. Guess will have to wait to test this theory out.

Any update whether you can toggle OEM Unlocking?
Also, as someone who have been using Moto phones from China for years, CN ROM is way way way better the Global ROM when it comes to features and software updates. One useful feature is the built in Motorola Wallet app where I can use my phone as keycard and transpo card.

I'm assuming it's a Motorola issue. I'm assuming maybe even real Edge 40 Pro devices can't unlock yet? Honestly if OTA works and so do all features (banking, 5g, etc) then I have no problem doing the conversion.

You won't be able to unlock the bootloader twice, impossible it's done by design by motorola.
You can only unlock your bootloader once

It's possible that we won't get OTA, only will know for sure in the future, i'm in the same situation.
But you can always manually update your firmware with rescue tool or through ADB as long it's the official firmware. You don't need a unlocked bootloader for that

I think this method would work:
I screwed up...moto X40 bricked / Any EDL mode available?
Hi guys sadly I completely softbricked my motorola X40 phone i'm a idiot. I flashed to a wrong firmware file (edge 30 pro) and re-locked bootloader then found it phone doesn't properly boot anymore. I can boot it in fastboot mode but flashing in...
forum.xda-developers.com
But I think this will erase all your data so it's not a real "upgrade firmware" method
I also found out there is an "software update" in the lenovo rescue tool
Maybe it's worth the shot to try this out too, but for me it's says I have the latest firmware already (which is correct) so I can't test it out right now.
