Don't buy this crappy xioami.
Nowadays xioami LOCKed BOOTLOADERs
Start from RN3 RNP Mi4c
The rest will be lock too.......VIA STOCK ROM
Hugo Barra is smart
We are stupid includes me. Bcos I bought new RN3
then only learned that bootloader is LOCKed
Too much hustle to unlock.
For so many many days past by waiting for unlock code
So what, just apply for unlock and wait. For this price of hardware it's worth it. I hope there will be some reasonable custom AOSP rom.

See the thing is by their terms just because you request one doesn't mean you will get it. It is up to them.
As for aosp I wouldn't count on it, most developers won't touch their devices nor do they support them.

Why shouldn't we cont on developers to work on this ROM? I see that the Redmi 2 has plenty of custom ROMs available right here on XDA forum.

They locked the bootloader for a reason. There has already been reports of Xiaomi refusing to provide an unlock code to users.
Most roms for Xiaomi devices are ports at best with the one exception being the one CM supports. Development teams know this, and on top of their constant gpl violations leave a bad taste.
Don't get me wrong. I hope things work out but in ref to aosp based development there won't really be much
Can anyone tell me what is bootloader for?, why is it important to unlock it?

Is it really need to unlock bootloader in other to flash developer ROM?
I know a lot of mi4 owners who regularly use weekly developer without haven't ever unlocked their bootloader.
So is it really necessary for our redmi3 to unlock the bootloader in other to flash developer ROM?
Cause I really like to remain virgin while being able to ***** around ?

No. You got it wrong. You need to flash the developer ROM in order to unlock bootloader ( to be able to flash other ROMs.)

so let me get this straight, i don't need to unlock bootloader in order for me to use Global ROM or Developer ROM, but if i want to use other ROM (Custom), i need to unlock it. How about if i want to root?

Nope, rooting the device has nothing to do with the locked bootloader. But I am not entirely sure if there is a way to root the redmi 3 just yet.
Unlocked bootloader is needed for:
- Custom roms that don't use the stock kernel
- Custom kernels
- Non stock-based roms (CM for example)
unlock confirmation received
I've recieved the unlock confirmation today.
What must I do to unlock the bootloader?
The sms says:" Your unlock request has been approved. Go t XXXXXX to download the unlocking tool"
Thanks in advance

2. The unlocking procedure only supports MIUI China developer version (6.1.12 or later version) currently. MIUI China stable version will get supported in future updates

So we need to wait for the dev. rom for redmi 3.
According to this thread should be out anytime soon :
http://en.miui.com/thread-228054-1-1.html
BUT....
Update*
[Developer rom has been out for awhile and the latest version is now 6.2.24. However, it is currently not due for public release. Fret not as even with the latest developer rom, boot loader cannot be unlock yet as Redmi 3 has yet to be integrated into MIUI Unlock System.

No unlock yet =(
I am a bit confused about this locking. On most phones i had i initially booted them into fastboot then flashed TWRP then via TWRP flashed custom roms (zips). So which part did they lock ? Fastboot so you cannot flash TWRP or the bootloader itself(TWRP,CWM,etc) (theoretically you could flash it but not access) ? Thanks for clarifying for me.

You can't flash anything at will with it locked. Even in Fastboot it won't work unless signed by Xiaomi. And they are not giving everyone unlock codes. Mainly if you mention you want to remove miui. Also if you are not active in their forums they won't do it.

Nonsense. You can flash (unofficial) full roms using fastboot in download mode, no problem at all...
Only flashing in fastboot mode (recoverys, xposed, custom kernels) wouldn't work with locked bl.
I also don't like the idea of locked bootloaders but, well... you do it once, use unlocked roms and are happy with it. not big of a deal, so stop whining...
Had it on my Razr i, now on the Redmi 3. Got my approval for it after not even 2 weeks at the beginning of february, now waiting for the suitable dev rom to unlock.
Just let it all settle a bit, the device by now is just too fresh out...

After getting permission, you cannot unlock your bootloader immediately. You have to wait a bit, say, 1 week before you can unlock.

Nope. So I got the phone. Created the miui profile, saw the Chinese apps and decided to find a way to get ride of them. Found out 2 days later that I need to unlock, applied for unlocking. 3 days later got permission. 2h later unlocked via unlocking tool. This was 8 months ago
Now I've noticed that you need to enable oem unlocking in the dev options, before going into fastboot to unlock
But one more thing comes, that I did and that's fully entering all the info on my profile (security questions etc)
And yes my miui account is bound to this phone, when I install miui it doesn't even ask for a account just a password
Finally unlocked it today.

Did anything special? And how much days it take?? And u were trying daily?
Have been reading a lot about this and have tried every method explained. My conclusion is, it's based on luck. XIOMI screwed the b/l unlocking method like many things and you need to be lucky to smoothly unlock it.
I assume you have already followed every single rule like waiting for some days before trying and connecting the phone and unlocking tool with same account, disabling lock screens or that find device thing they say and many others with no luck.
I believe since redmi 3s is a dual sim so if you are using another simcard your best bet is to try making a new account with that number and try the whole process again. About waiting... well, many have been waiting for months, so don't much from waiting and retrying luck.
Hopefully we will get some unofficial unblocking method someday, like note 3 has.

I got the unlock approval 8 days ago, I can locate my device using MI account but the binding doesn't work. (Settings>Additional settings>Developer Options>Mi Unlock Status>Add account and device) Please retry within 1 or 2 minutes again and again and again...
I tried the tool in version 1.0.1225.2, 1.1.03171.1 and last 2.2.406.5.
Still no binding possible.

1 day before? Then wait a week before trying to bind device and unlock your bootloader.
My BL is not unlocking as the account is not binding in the dev setting>unlock status and therefore unlocking stops at 99%.
If anyone facing the error 86012 had later unlocked their BL later, please tell us clearly what did you do. "I just need to know that is there someone who had unlocked without binding their account."

Yeah, for real, I completely flipped when Xiaomi put a bootloader wait period on one of my devices. I caused as much a fuss as I could, emailed Xiaomi's support in several regions and researched extensively.
There's literally nothing you can do. Xiaomi has complete control over bootloader unlock authorization. As far as I'm aware there's no exploits and even staff at Xiaomi can't/won't override it.
Rest assured when that timer hits 0 you're good to go. Though for now, use the device as normal or switch it off and place it in a drawer for a couple of weeks if it bugs you too much. Just whatever you do, don't reflash it or attempt to change the account on the device; the timer will reset.
Once it's unlocked, avoid relocking it. There's no advantage to relocking the device when flashing images, it won't do a thing.
If you use MiFlash tool, it's worthwhile deleting the scripts suffixed with "lock" in the update folder when doing a fastboot flash from a PC (flash_all_lock.bat and flash_all_lock.sh, you don't want to go near flash_factory.sh/bat either - I'm confused as to why Xiaomi even includes that file in their update zips).
Always use flash_all.bat / flash_all.sh. Bonus tip: edit both files with notepad and remove the line which restarts the device (fastboot reboot is the line if I remember correctly). This way you can skip booting into MIUI and immediately push a custom recovery using fastboot boot C:/path/recovery.img (or fastboot flash recovery recovery.img, boot is temporary).
Ps. Be sure to overwrite that "device unlocked" boot image if you're feeling meticulous.
actually you can bypass it but the solution is not free and very xpensive
My friend has redmi note 5 and for unlock waiting I read somewhere that if you use some old version of Mi tool it would skip the waiting and it did. Is there similar solution for redmi note 7?

I've started the program but i am just curious how many different codes/how many attempts can there be in total?
Thats a good question, im sure u can find the answer in one of the 2 repos. One is endless (pure bruteforce) vs IMEI + HASH.
I'm still too lazy to Downgrade my Phone to give it a try (with out rebooting every 4 attempts), because no clue if its worth all the effort, as Huawei modding / hacking seems like almost dead.

I have just successfully unlocked the bootloader lock by the Taobao service CNY30. It is done by PC remote control. My P10 phone (VTR-AL00) was firstly downgraded from my EMUI 9.1 to EMUI 5. Then the operation was very fast (ROM firmware loading time was long) & I can't see clearly. At last it was successfully unlocked & the guy gave me the unlock code also. If you guys want to do this, you need to ask a friend who know Chinese writing to chat on the net. Then I upgraded the phone using Huawei official upgrade from the phone to EMUI 9.0. Then I flashed the openkirin ROMs successfully. I've tried all four ROMs (RR, OMNI, AOSP, AEX). All of them have some bugs. One important one is the phone can't be charged when powered off. It will go to bootloader mode when plugged with the charging cable. You need to charge when the phone is on.
Install testpoint drivers ( https://files.dc-unlocker.com/share.html?v=share/18B15B9D02C945A79B1967234CECB423 - these worked for my p10 lite), enter download mode via testpoints then use PotatoNV - https://github.com/mashed-potatoes/PotatoNV , i just did this two days ago then installed twrp and rooted with magisk, fairly simple and insanely useful, only drawback is you need to open up your phone back cover to do it. Works without downgrading on Emui 8
THANKS GUYS FOR ALL YOUR HELP AND SUPPORT <3
I've succesfully opened my phone with dc unlocker
You may want to try the testpoint method. Worked like charm for me. Check potatonv git and YouTube..

Hello there,
i hope i am in the correct section. I have purchased a Nokia 6.1 (TA-1050) and i would like to install Lineage OS to use Google/FB as less as possible. If there is a more secute OS, please let me know.
I know about hikaricalyx and techmesto, that i can purchase there a key to unlock my bootlooader. Are those two websites safe to use? I dont know what they do with my IMEI and my serialnumber. Second, can i be sure that they dont install some third party tools in my smartphone while the unlocking process?
This is still quite new for me, sorry if i ask something already asked.

Um paying would be fine, if it is a trusted source.
Look for sources which many people have vouched for it.
I wouldnt buy it but in your case there seems like no choice.
I got my bootloader unlock from hikaricalyx and its very safe and takes only few minutes to unlock the bootloader. If you are aware regarding how to unlock the bootloader then you can only apply for bootloader unlock on your own during which you will be given a command prompt tool which you need to download and run on your pc with your phone connected. This tool will then produce some numbers which you need to provide hikaricalyx and in return he will then inform you the bootloader unlock key which you need to again input in tht tool.
He will not ask for your imei number.
Hello.
I have unlocked my Nokia and installed LineageOS. I used the service from hikaricalyx and it was very easy. I got a lot of help and he was very kind. Even if my phone was unlocked and had some trouble to install LineageOS he helped me. I dont think, that the files we used to unlock my phone was corrupted.
For everyone who wants the files: These are useless for you. Every time you boot your phone, it will generate a random singature. We read this ramdom hash and he signed the unlockfiles with that hash. IF you want to install LineageOS like me, on your Nokia 6 these ~5$ are worth it.
Thank all of you who replied.
I am done with this thread, but i let it open for someone who have simular questions. Sone mod can close it if he want.
