Unlock Bootloader Without Waiting for permission from Xiaomi[Snapdragon Variant] - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion

There is a long wait for unlocking the bootloader for Redmi Note 3. We have to apply and wait for permission for 2-3 weeks. Some people are having problems with that. Even after users get the permission, they are unable to unlock because it gets stuck at 50%.
A moderator on unoffical Miui India forum has found a way to unlock the bootloader without need of any code or confirmation from Xiaomi. This method DOESNT involve Mi Unlocking tool. Many users have tried it and unlocked their bootloader successfully and quickly.
Edit - If you are an Indian user with the Snapdragon variant and if you have got permission from xiaomi and want to unlock by official method then you will need to flash China developer rom by mi flash. You will able to unlock bootloader on China dev rom by official method. Some users have also been able to unlock officially on Global developer rom. So take your pic. But don't waste your time on Global stable... Official method of bootloader unlocking will NEVER work on Global stable.
(I will update the OP if by miracle people are able to unlock officially on Global stable. Chances are very slim though.)
The method given below is for other global or beta rom users for whom normal unlocking is not working or those who are too impatient to wait for confirmation sms from Xiaomi. [emoji48]
Edit 2 - I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you to try this tutorial with GLOBAL STABLE FASTBOOT rom. People who have tried this on China dev or China stable have faced bricked devices.
Here is the forum link where bootloader unlock tutorial by hacking method is given.
http://forum.miui.co.in/forum/mi-de...5165-redmi-note-3-snapdragon-unlock-the-beast
Edit 3 - There is a difference between unlocking the bootloader by this hack and unlocking by official method. A big difference. I suggest you to read threads here and on miui forum as well to acquaint yourself with it.
Basically if you unlock bootloader with official method your system accepts it and causes no problems while flashing miui roms.
But if you unlock bootloader by this hack method, your system doesnt accept it fully and causes problems if you flash stock miui. Flashing miui without proper modifications will easily cause hard brick. My explanation was very simplistic but there are a lot of complicated things involved which go on at the system level.
If you decide to unlock bootloader by the hack method.. Read this thread on how to flash miui roms.
http://en.miui.com/thread-256464-1-1.html
Also you don't need to worry about CM and AOSP roms. Whichever method you use to unlock your bootloader, CM and AOSP will work good without causing brick. You only need to worry about miui roms if you have used hack method.
My personal advice to you is that you don't try this hack method unless you are fairly well acquainted with technology and won't go mad if your device gets bricked. A lot of people have faced bricked device and many of them are noobs and I feel sorry for them. So unless you are courageous enough and feel confident, don't try this method.
Wait till your device can be unlocked by official method. That is best for new people.
Edit - This thread is outdated now. It was made a long time ago when development was in its infancy. There are lots of good threads on xda that can help you out. Ignore this thread and don't consider it's information relevant anymore.

I can confirm this method works.

The method works,
Finally after days of searching

whether there is a chance for something like this for MTK variant (i stuck at 50% and I have no solution)?

There might be a chance but this shortcut method was developed by Indian developers. And since only Qualcomm variant has been launched in India, these particular developers can't help you out.
Maybe some other talented people with mtk variant can emulate this and develop a shortcut method just like this.

Keep that as a last resort.
Go to the miui forum and post your problem in the redmi note 3 section. Give as much detail as possible. What's working what's not. One of the moderators will surely help you out.

I unlock with china stable ROM.
after unlock, I flashed via recovery another stable ROM and AOSP ROM but all works well.
That means AOSP ROM free with lock?

all customs roms are free from lock, except xioami eu roms, all miui roms have a emmc file(inside that firmware folder) that relocks bootloader

Twrp issues

So I just unlocked my bootloader and I am eventually going to flash lineage, but every time I go to flash twrp so I can go back to the nmj32f firmware so I can use it, I am getting an error that it cannot flash it. Anyone have any idea? Thank you beforehand, this is the first phone I have rooted since the old htc slide and htc4g days so it's been awhile.
Did you do "fastboot flashing unlock_critical" when unlocking the bootloader?
No I did not send it through as critical. The guide just had me do flash boot unlock bootloader and it unlocked. Should I relock and put in that command? Will that allow twrp to be installed?

No need to relock it. Just send the unlock_critical command and you should be good to go.
Take a look at this page too: http://mata.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

TWRP: v3.2.1: Custom Changes to Make it work Much Better: unofficial:

The Current Latest TWRP for the v10 H901, v3.2.1, done by TWRPbuilder, was missing many options and settings,
For the most part it worked, but screen settings was wrong, my device about overheated and I like to have my screen
blink off after 60 secs..
So I took the latest STOCK N source and used the twrpbuilder.jar file to create a device tree from the STOCK Recovery..
edited the device tree to allow everything to work like it should. then built TWRP, tested and works......
Downloads:
twrp_v3.2.1_recovery_pplus-H901_210180529.tar.xz​
NOTE:This is not a Flashable FILE, Make sure you extract it first: Its a ".img" file:
Device Source:https://github.com/LG-V10/v10_pplus-H901_TWRP_device
If anyone remembers me, I did hold on to my v10 this whole time.. but as I said before, the famous LG Bootloop got my V10, and LG fully Replaced it free of charge and it came back with Nougat, which means No root,
I seen that someone came up with root for it.. so I finally rooted it.. but needed to fix that twrp you all had....
also I sold my HTC10, after doing everything I could over there.. I got tired of HTC, and wanted to give LG another chance.. some say im crazy, but I love challenges..
anyhow I also bought a LG G6 for a good price....... and im not sure if I will get the g7 yet.. still going to wait a bit and see what happends.......
I just hope my freshly built TWRP seems to work better for you all that try it.......
Since I left v10 a while back, I also started a ROM, Yeah, PureFusionOS is mine.. I was main Founder of it......... with over 10k installs.
Dont believe me? Look for your self: https://stats.purefusionos.com/
We havent done much since last year.. but just now currently working on updates and kinda waiting on P.................
maybe I can bring it to this device.. who knows..
Nice to have you back!

I never said it wasn't. I was only explaining that LG removed the flashing commands from fastboot (they only left us with the unlock command and a few other non destructive commands (like getvar)), and that you will need to thoroughly read read read the thread I linked and follow the instructions to a T or you will run the risk of bricking your phone. LG really made it easy to brick this phone if you don't know what you are doing. That thread does state that you shouldn't brick, but if you don't get it right you'll have to flash the kdz (which is linked in another thread somewhere) to start over.

Once you have the other twrp installed (https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-v10/general/root-h901-nougat-t3773942) boot to twrp and flash the twrp.img from this thread after you extract it from the .tar. The same way you would upgrade any twrp, so really no instructions needed. You could also substitute this .img in those instructions. Once you've rooted a few different kinds of phones some of these kinds of things will make sense to you and just become second nature. Don't get discouraged, you'll get it.

Once you have the other twrp installed (https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-v10/general/root-h901-nougat-t3773942) boot to twrp and flash the twrp.img from this thread after you extract it from the .tar. The same way you would upgrade any twrp, so really no instructions needed. You could also substitute this .img in those instructions. Once you've rooted a few different kinds of phones some of these kinds of things will make sense to you and just become second nature. Don't get discouraged, you'll get it.

If your on any firmware above 10c LG only gave us the fastboot unlock command, the fastboot boot and fastboot flash commands have been removed. This has been stated many times and in many threads. It has also been stated before to use the proper threads for asking questions, which is one of the rules of xda.
This thread is for the development of this version of twrp.
Those of us that have been rooting since day 1 understand that every phone is different and rooting evolves with the tighter security from the oems. Many of us started with windows phones here on xda before Android was born, or nokia "smart" phones before that.

Honestly if you have to ask how to install twrp, I wouldn't recommend flashing it at all....
if you been doing this for years, then you would know that how to install it requires ROOT or some special way since this is the T-mo threads meaning H901,
BTW peepz, if you think gaining root for the v10 is a trick in its self, try the G6 way.. talk about risky business there.. by the same person..............
NOTE: that doesnt mean TRY the G6 way on the v10,
anyhow. you can flash twrp through your already made recovery or some app that has root......
I flashed this twrp through the recovery that I get when I used the ROOT method on latest ROM......................
I just didnt like the fact that half the options were missing........... I did do another build.. but I didnt release that yet on here.....
if anyone is still having issues, maybe I should upload the other build for you to try..

too bad that we couldnt downgrade to mm. that would be so much easier. lol
I just got hit with the infinite bootloop on my device unfortunately, and modified this twrp image to only use the little cluster: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=818222786056035329 . The cmdline additions are only: maxcpus=4 boot_cpus=0-3. Just in case anyone else wants it
Edit: given the prevalence of this bug, I'd honestly recommend people just keep a 4core twrp flashed on their device for if/when they run into it so it's easier to deal with.

[Platy] [Development] ZTE Quartz Includes Factory ROM, TWRP, Future custom roms

Unlocking bootloader:
Setup ADB and Fastboot on your PC.
Enable USB debugging and OEM Unlock on your watch.
Connect your watch to the PC with a USB cable.
Open a command window on your PC.
Boot your watch into bootloader mode using the following command:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
You may get a request to authorize USB debugging on the device, accept it.
Once your device is in bootloader mode, issue the following command to unlock bootloader:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
You’ll get a confirmation screen on your watch and follow what it says This will begin bootloader unlocking process, which shouldn’t last more than a couple of minutes.
Once bootloader is unlocked, your device will reboot into bootloader mode. You need to boot into system now, either press Power button to reboot OR issue the following command:
Code:
fastboot reboot
During reboot, your watch will go through a factory reset and then finally boot into system.
That’s all. Your watch’s bootloader is now unlocked.
I was able to get the T-Mobile Sales Force factory reset tool which flashes almost every partition with the firehose for the device (Security risk)
Fully wipe your device and return to stock along with removing your ESIM configuration:
Download the tool
Install it
Run it
Unlock the bootloader
Enable adb on your watch
Plug the watch into your computer
Click start in the application
Wait for it to finish and enjoy
Mine just in case

i did bought a used one in ebay $42, count on me for testing.
I actually work for TMobile and got this watch way back as an advocate... While sales were pretty poor, this watch is fantastic and deserves development attention! If you need any help with testing, debugging, or anything else please let me know! I'm not a developer per say... But I'm more technically inclined and willing to learn if needed!

If you flash twrp, try to use Linux. Windows was having issues detecting fastboot mode with this watch, but unlocking and flashing through terminal worked just fine. So far, my watch has TWRP and Magisk and works fine. Now we just need to wait FOR ROMs and this watch is as good as new!

This watch was abandoned by TMobile when ZTE went through all of it's legal issues. It's also fallen off lists of watches that were being updated right around the time crap got the fan with ZTE. Really sad TBH...
Have we gotten any confirmation from TWRP team regarding an official TWRP recovery image for platy? I keep checking and haven't seen anything... Not trying to ask for ETA or anything, just curious if community development is gonna continue for this watch or not

How long does the bootloader unlock take now?
Last time I did it with my Redmi Note 3 it took me a day but I might have been lucky

It depends. I haven't been able to find any official word from Xiaomi about it. Some get instant unlocks, some get 3-day, 7-day, 15-day, 30-day or 60-day waiting periods.
I will say that I had two devices in the waiting period. One at 15 days and the other at 30 days. I waited 15 days and unlocked one.
Then I went to check on the remaining hours of the second device and it had been reset to 30 days :/
So it may have something to do with how many phones you've unlocked in X amount of days.

You boot into TWRP by simply booting into Recovery Mode (since TWRP is overwriting the Xiaomi Recovery)

This person says their PC (presumably a desktop) gave them that error, but was able to bypass it by trying the unlock on the laptop
- https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/comments/8txd56/cannot_unlock_bootloader_what_happened/
So maybe it's an issue with a version of Windows?
Maybe it's an issue with USB drivers?

Hay folks i have question
Unlook tool shows some warnings about fingerprint sensor that it wont be functional after unlocking.
Did this happen to anyone?
I Am asking just to be safe i don't want to regret unlocking my new device.
Can you please tell me if unlocking will break any thing?? (Like other oems do).
Thank you
