Thanks.
Thanks for the guide (more specifically, thanks for the modified unlock tool). It worked for my Redmi 3 running Miui 8 Beta 6.11.3 (official download).
I never managed to file for permission because that damn site kept crashing or just redirecting me to pages that made no sense. Your post solved that problem for me, so thanks again.
Now I'm off to installing CM.
You got it bro!!
Trying in redmi 3S with the latest Fastboot ROM china developer but I can't
Mi flash error that says "Critical partition flashing is not allowed" and I have read that it's because of a locked bootloader

Strange that Mi Unlock Tool links to a .exe that asks the exact same procedure as Miui (requiring SMS verification).
Why not linking to the original Xiaomi website?
What else does this exe contains?
Anyone else has tested it?

Mi unlock tool is an .exe format, that mean you can only run it in computer. Just download the .exe file and run it as administrator on your computer and you will unlock your bootloader. Of course after you flashed the developer rom on your device.
I tried to do it the way described in the first post, but it doesn't work and just redirects me to miui.com.
THe Unlock Tool doesn't seem to be modified in any way compared to the original one. What am I doing wrong?

No it's not. The OP says it's possible to unlock the bootloader without the confirmation by Xiaomi. And that doesn't work. It wants to verify anyway and doesnt let me unlock the bootloader. Is there anything I'm doing wrong, or is the post just a little bit misleading?

Same here dude. I installed dev adb rom pointed in the link. Went in dev options and selected oem unlock, adb unlock and usb debb, fastboot mode. After opening mi unlock from this link and run it as admin it says that my device isn't supported by mi unlock. After you press go it points to official mi unlock procedure...
Don't waste your time with this tutorial. You still to need to apply for the unlock from Xiaomi. I'm still waiting for mine.

Device: Xiaomi Redmi 4A from Gearbest
The phone was shipped with a reported "fake global rom". I managed to flash the Global Rom (unofficial by Xiaomi EU). Here's how I did it.
1. Download XiaoMiFlash tool (https://mega.nz/#!aAhCmbSS!LvXzz7F1U5kG8v6oCbN_NiWFPvXahNON_FfclGnjFPE)
2. Download the Official China Stable Rom from Xiaomi (http://en.miui.com/a-234.html) choose Redmi 4A Latest China Stable Version Fastboot File Download
3. Extract the China Rom and change extracted .tar file's extension to .tz
3a. Extract the .tz file with 7zip
4. Open MiFlash tool, select the folder where you've just extracted the .tz file (named rolex_images_V8.1.2.0.MCCCNDI_20161125.0000.00_6.0_cn)
4a. Check the "clean all and lock" option in the lower right corner in MiFlash tool
5. Power off your device. Now press the 'power' button and 'volume up'
6. A screen appears with several options, choose 'Download'
7. Connect your phone to your PC and await (COM [xx]) to show in MiFlash tool
8. Click flash and wait for it to finish.
9. Reboot your phone and wait (this will take 5-10 minutes)
10. When you've installed the China Rom go to Mi Unlock Status

11. If it says 'Device is unlocked' you're good to go, if your device is locked this method wont work (see picture above)
12. Download the latest weekly rom or stable (your choice) from https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/6-12-22.36929/
13. Download Cofface's TWRP recovery for Redmi 4A: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862683408
14. Flash the recovery if you can - I couldn't so I ran (fastboot boot [filename].img)
15. Phone now boots into TWRP
16. Perform Nandroid and wipe (factory reset)
17. Install Xiaomi EU rom
18. Voila! You have the unoffical global rom by Xiaomi EU and fully functional Play Store.
Wah, a great one! I think we need subforum for this gadget.
up for this cheap price phone for great specs i see.... thats why people love Android units......
Nice job bud! I have a redmi 4 prime and it came with this fake global rom too, so i thinking on make the same thing u did. But i dont get why u flashed the china rom first and them flashed miui eu. Why not flash the miui eu only? 'Cause of unlock bootloader? Im pretty sure users can request the unlock code from their official xiaomi forum/site.
Greetings!

I'm not sure you can unlock your phone with the fake rom installed. There unlock device option isn't included. To be honest, I can't remember, as this was a gift for my sister and not a daily driver of mine. Should work on the 'Prime' too - BUT make sure you flash the correct TWRP for Redmi 4 Prime specifically.
My redmi 4A from gearbest already came with an unlocked bootloader. Bow working good with global from xiaomi.EU via twrp.

Additional note: the battery's endurance is really impressive! Lasting two days using as much as I can. Only mail twitter telegram internet sometimes it lasts four (4) days!! Pretty good for 3000 mAh. SD425 I only say. The performance is OK. No turbo, but definitely not slow!
Buy this phone, if you want to have as much phone as possible for your low budget. It's impressive!
Rom infested with bloatwares and malware.
Unnecessary apps that consume the few features of the device.
I'm sorry that a manufacturer of this size behaves this way.

Those who have eyes to read: read!
You're on a shoprom. It's not the factory's one.
Read here on XDA about flashing xiaomi.eu ROM.
Got a 4A with Global 8.2.1.0, currently quite annoyed that the unlock procedure that's plastered all over the place doesn't actually work, with the only answer being to "wait longer".
Its already been stated long ago in mi's official forums, that the unlock procedure works on a Gobal nondev, but I don't think the procedure has been tested outside of China and India. 15+ days since I got the permission to unlock (this was within an hour BTW), and the official unlocker still cannot verify the device. No answer to the bug report either.
Not to mention I've never been able to register with the Unlock Status app (10008: an error has occured, please consult API), and the mi finder site will locate my 4A, but pretend it isn't connected - so no go on a possible method 2.
Really don't know what I missed. It'll take a bit of time to flash any dev ROM and reinstall all the things; I had a 1S and it wasn't that difficult to get the bootloader unlocked.
Is there an unofficial way to get temporary root BTW?

I thought the same on my device. But afterwards it was not necessary at all. Gear...st already flashed their shoprom on my device, which said is was a global one, but not updatable via ota.
My next step was to check how they did it.
Did you already check bootloader status via fastboot OEM check? Maybe you can simply already flash twrp as described on xiaomi.eu site.

Nah, my device wasn't from Gearbest. It's officially sold by Xiaomi in Singapore; they're working with Challenger; the ROM has play store and is only "contaminated" by an extra music app, an extra browser, and all the mi specific apps in 1 folder. <_<'
I did fastboot oem check whilst hoping I could get TWRP in long ago; no dice - device unlocked: false. Also, I do not seem to have the permission to run the "fastboot oem unlock" command.

OK, I only had the hope to help you. You can try to contact gearbest how they flash their shoprom... Just kidding
Please tell us, what the answer to your bug report was. Hope that would not last a year for xiaomi to answer ...

I am from India and havn't been able to unlock newer mi phones ( 3s prime and 4A ). If this did this to safeguard these devices clearly shoprom like places have defied that.
STill waiting for some genius to find jailbreak without begging Mi
Yeah, this is the working guide now.
I follow this guide to root redmi 4A. Instead of cafface when we use original twrp recovery I face boot loops issue on global Rom.

Screen shot??
Is the new 4a version (2GM RAM, 32 GB ROM) supported for this procedure and eu rom? I was thinking to that phone for my son but I don't want china bloatware.
thanks in advance
mauro
Hi Mauro, yes, it is.
My 4A 2GB 32GB WORLD from gearbest came with Version: V8.1.6.0.MXDMIDI - STABLE world and a LOCKED bootloader.
I checked the bootloader status 1st with #fastboot oem device-info
Then opend a MI Account via the phone itself and asked for the unlock permission. Which was granted within 10 minutes. (Thanks!)
There is a restrictive waiting time of 72h after creating the MI account and unlocking the bl which the recent version of the unlock tool respects - but the older version (MiFlashUnlock_1.1.1111.1_en) thankfully ignores.
After that I followed above instructions (twrp did not install for me neither, I got a good scare when trying to boot into allegedly installed twrp but was greeted with the Chinese stock recovery - changing language is the right button, 2nd row from below - but that won´t help you, you have) to boot into twrp from fastload and then installed Xiaomi EU rom and root (from sdcard). All good!
That's great! Thanks a lot santamanga!

Discussion on problems faced by Miflash tool.
*So when used for the first time I was able to unlock phone without any problem.
*But after that when I used it for second time to unbrick my phone I was constantly getting errors like not enough memory,some errors like x800000 blah blah...
*I almost went through every solutions mentioned in miui forum and XDA...But I was unable to get it working...
So if anyone faced any problem like that comment your problem below..
Aftef a lot of research I was able to find a solution for that..
Hopefully it will be shared with you all as soon as possible. I have to finish touching up some final things..
As soon as I finish the work I will be releasing alpha version..
Will update the thread when I release it
Waiting for the solution.

Mi Flash & Nougat
Hi, if you want I'm ready to test your alpha version!
I have a dead Mi5 Pro (updated to xiaomi.eu Nougat rom) that my pc only reads as Qualcomm_9008.
I already tried many many posted potential solutions but my phone is still dead!
At this point, I HOPE that the problem is that latest MiFlash (30.aug.2016) is not so compatible with Nougat and I can't flash any ROM!
Waiting for your news!
Thank you very much

Try pressing vol down+pwr... If you see light blinking while connected to PC,that means you are in edl..

Ok so I have managed to brick my device pretty good (recovery seems gone), but I can get to FASTBOOT, and from there, followed a guide to get to EDL..
So now I got the mi flash tool to flash the 7.25 image as described by this guide :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/unlock-bootloader-twrp-root-7-2-3-t3359492
No errors, but I don't think it worked because when the device reboots, it still can't seem to try and load a kernel (it goes black real quick). I am hoping it that the other unmentioned fields need populating etc..
Are there instructions on how to do a complete flash from EDL anywhere ?

Yep.. I managed to do something similar with a newer FB ROM and the modded twrp so there is less chance to relock my BL.
Thanks for providing the post.. it makes me feel more comfortable knowing that this info is available in case I need it again
Hi friends
Today I'm going to help you in unlocking the bootloader officially...
Many of us(including me) had problems in unlocking the bootloader...
It used to get stuck at 50 percent..
I had the same problem....
But here's what I did to unlock my bootloader....
Prerequisites:
1) MIUI 7.2.1 6 global beta ROM
2)mi unlock permissions on your mi account
3)Mi unlock tool
4)adb drivers
And of course RN4
Procedure:
First of all download global beta ROM from
http://en.miui.com/extra.php?mod=rom/download&r=309&mobile=no#468
It's a recovery ROM so flash it using updater app...
It will WIPE all of your internal storage so take a backup beforehand...
After flashing the beta ROM login using the same account where you've got the unlocking permission on your phone...
Now enable developer options and select USB debugging and OEM unlock
Now install the adb drivers on your pc from here
http://xiaomitips.com/download/adb-setup-v1-4-3/
After installing adb drivers download mi unlock tool from here http://en.miui.com/thread-204866-1-1.html
IMPORTANT
Now If you are using Windows 8 and above, disable the driver signature verfication on your PC... Its easy just Google it...
Now enter your RN4 into fastboot mode by pressing volume down and power button after switching off your phone...
Open MI unlock tool and login using the same account that is present on your phone..
NOTE: Dont use usb tethering of your RN4 phone for logging in to the MI unlock tool...it may result in you losing your unlocking permission... I dont know if its a bug or something but it happened twice with me when I used my RN4 for usb tethering...
I may be wrong but its always good to be on the safer side :laugh:
Now MI tool will check if your account has the unlocking permissions....
If it does then it will tell you to connect your phone to pc...
Connect it using USB cable in fastboot mode....
Wait for a few seconds as the drivers will be installing on your pc...
When the drivers are installed A "Connected" message will be displayed...
Now we are good to go...
Just press on unlock option...
Now If you followed all the steps carefully and also if you are lucky,your bootloader will be unlocked...
the process may take upto 10-15 seconds
IF IT STILL DOESNT UNLOCKS,
Switch on your phone and enable find device on your phone....
Go to i.mi.com and login to your MI account
click on find device option...
Enable data connection on your phone...
Now click on your device on find device page....
It will start locating your device...
once it is located properly try to unlock your bootloader again using MI unlock tool...
IF IT STILL DOESNT UNLOCKS,
then try again after 7 days...
because PATIENCE IS BITTER,BUT THE FRUIT IS SWEET!!!
Precautions/Notes:
1) I flashed Global Beta ROM because l was unable to unlock my bootloader on Global Stable version... First try in Global stable again after 4-5 days before flashing a Beta ROM...
2)I unlocked my bootloader on the same day I flashed the Beta ROM....If you are unable to unlock then use the Beta ROM for atleast 2-3 days then try again....
3)You may use older versions of MI unlock tool if the latest tool doesnt unlock your device... I also used an older version of MI unlock tool...
4)Dont forget to disable the driver signature verfication on your pc if you are using Windows 8 and above..
5)Also check if adb drivers are installed properly;to do so connect the phone in fastboot mode,open the command window and type "adb devices" without (" ") this.. if your phone is displayed it means adb drivers are installed properly... usually the phone name will be something like 0147BDD and so on.... it will be a colection of numbers and alphabets... every device has a unique id..
if your phone is not displayed then uninstall and reinstall adb drivers....
Please note that this method has worked for me but MAY or MAY NOT work for you...
P.S. Sorry if the thread is too BIG
I hope that your bootloader will be unlocked after following these steps :good:
ALL THE BEST Fellow MIUIans :good: :laugh:

I'm not sure but I guess you probably will...
Else you can manually update by downloading recovery rom and flashing it.... :laugh:

unlocked without linking the device from developer option. changed sim cards and used only one sim card. maybe it was luck or using the registered sim in slot 1 and as the only sim did the trick.

Just remove all the SIM cards and insert the registered SIM in slot 1...
It worked for Kapiljhajharia who have commented on this thread... If it still doesn't work then try again after 4-5 days...

If you have set up a Mi or Google account on your phone, you can go to Mi Cloud or Android Device Manager to reset your phone.
You need an EDL cable to boot into EDL with newest MIUI version

So... did you try as I said in post #3?

It is advisable to have a Mi Account or Google Account on the device for reasons just like this situation you are in. Also, you don't have to turn on OEM unlocking or USB debugging to reset your device from a Mi or Google Account.
Lemme ask you something, how do I know you are telling the truth? How do I know this isn't a stolen device? Is anyone thinking that they may be assisting a thief? I wonder.
BTW, I was addressing the OP, not you. It seems you have taken over the thread from the OP.

I just received my Mi5s and like others it comes with 8.0.3.0 pre-installed
after hours of stress, I almost give up and want to make a DF cable... but I finally found the light :angel:
the trick is simple, just manual update to Global Stable to 8.2.1.0
grab the zip file, put it on your phone and update it via phone updater app.
now you will have Mi Unlock Status on Developer Settings, just go there and click the add button
finally run the unlock tool, and viola ...
is this really working? it's a good news! i tried different ways to unlock my BL and posting comments in different threads but still no use. Maybe this would help. Thank you for creating this guide. God bless!
PS. it says "Coudn't verify update package". Im using updater app. How did you flash yours?
What is your current version?
You can't update with updater app if your ROM is unofficial ROM like 8.0.10.0
is your zip file manipulated in any way? I updated manually yesterday and tried to add account in mi unlock status but it's telling me to connect to the internet and try again althouh I have internet connection via wifi and also network..
No... The zip is from xiaomi. Its official 8.2.1.0 without any modification.
You should already add your mi account before you press the add button
Im using global stable 8.0.3.0.

Should be smooth upgrade from 8.0.3.0 to 8.2.1.0
Just tap the updater app, 3 dots, choose update package, then choose the downloaded zip.
Check the zip, it might corrupted...

Should I upgrade to 8.2 using ota first before I flash the zip? Because i tried everything you've said but always error. I'm now using 8.2 stable. Just updated earlier from the ota
Updating to 8.2 is to get the "mi unlock status" option in developer settings, if yours is already 8.2 then you should have it.

I have 8.2 i have unlocked in developer options, but still when i choose zip file I get Cant't verify update. It's not allawed to upgrade to unoficcal ROM package.
if you already have the unlocked in developer options, you're good to go ...
just add mi account, press the add button on mi unlock status and run mi unlock.
the zip is for those who still stuck on 8.0.3.0
Thanks for the help sir. I will now try to use mi unlock. Gonna update later if successful. God bless!

I just got my phone last week, I hadn't realised 8.0.10.0.0 wasn't official - and I downloaded the new 8.2.1.0 global , and started the manual update process (from the download folder). The upgrade started, but when 8.0.10.0.0 said I was downgrading, I backed out. When I later found 8.0.10.0.0 was unofficial, I tried to do it again, but kept getting "couldn't verify update package" - with both 8.0.3.0 and 8.2.1.0 downloads.
The solution......
I did a factory reset, copied the file over again, and manually started it. This time it decrypted and worked..... I just accepted the "downgrade", and everything went through. I'm now on 8.2.1.0 Stable.
To people that has 1008 erro please use FlyVPN and connect to shanghai server. I use this method and others report it working without error

Hi, I'm precisely stuck on 8.0.3.0 global, no OTA offered (not even 8.2), and I'm getting the "could not verify" error. What could I do ?

My issue as well. I don't see anything we can do besides EDL through Deep Flash. This sucks.
