Unlock Bootloader Without Waiting for permission from Xiaomi[Snapdragon Variant]

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.

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

How many days have you had to wait after getting the permission to unlock ?
Sent from my Redmi 3S using Tapatalk

In my case it took only 48 hours from the moment I asked for the permission until the moment I received the confirmation SMS. And I unlocked the bootloader successfully with the Global 7.5 Stable ROM, as opposed to reports that claim only the Chinese ROM can be used.

Hi, sorry if in wrong thread. I bought 3s prime for my son's Xmas present and wondering whether I will eventually receive an ota. Current miui version is Global 7.3 stable 7.3 .10.0.0 (MALCNDE ). I know some have 7.5 but mine says no updates available. Will I have to flash something different to enable ota or will I just receive it in good time ? Thanks

mine always stuck at 50%
in redmi note 3 i tried with all 4 roms, used another account but still says cant veriry device
same with redmi 3s

I requested for unlock with the reason "My phone is dead I need to rescue it" and approved after 2 days

any device related details like imei number or model number is required to be submitted in written request ?

I still cannot unlock even though it approved 10+ days ago even I turned on developer mode and OEM unlock. What I did is flash my Global Stable ROM to Global Developer ROM (this is not the key point, I think the key point is I formatted it) and I succeed to unlock it.

I can't tell for sure, but I would say it should be compatible. The product itself didn't change on Oneplus Store after Oneplus 5 launch; that should be an indicator for compatibility accross versions. Is there someone here who can confirm that (upgraded from 3 or 3t)?

I posted a question for Oneplus support and they confirmed that my old dash charges (the car and the mains) both work with the OP5

I'm planning on unblocking the bootloader when I get the phone. If I wanted to relock the bootloader at a later stage, is this possible and will it go back to "locked" or "relocked" type status, or would you be able to tell it was ever unlocked?
Just curious if this will have implications to DM Verity and android pay working in the future if I ever wanted to go back to pure stock without root and have those things work.

Yes you can lock the bootloader later on via fastboot to locked status, no implications with DM verity if you flash the no verity zip.
You can go back to stock anytime you want
Just flash the latest stock rom and recovery and lock the bootloader to go back to stock.

I did it and downloaded the files but somehow my windows pc still does not recognize my oneplus... whatever after I booted my Kali(Linux) system few minutes ago everything worked well

If I buy the OP 5, I hope to use it for 3 years, therefore:
How long will software & security updates be provided for OOS with regards to the OP 5 ?
Can I expect 2 years and then in the third year be advised to flash a custom rom (I'm sure there will be plenty).

USB Audio
Just got the phone today only to discover that it USB audio doesn't work out of the box. Had USB audio working fine on the OPO but I can't seem to find a way of getting it to work in my car.
I've ran through all of the options and even rooted it to try and mess with a couple of .xml files but still nothing. Anyone have any ideas?

I've heard that a device teardown revealed that they are still using the same dash charge part in the OP5 as in the OP3(T).

Hey guys, I want to root and probably even flash a custom rom on the OP5. But I had to learn the hard way that flashing a custom rom can damage the device hardware.
I've got my damaged Galaxy Note 4 (probably a broken motherboard according to some xda users) working now except some shut downs/ freezes thanks to a bit of practice that I've made in the last four months.
What could I do to not end up with a device with broken hardware cause of custom Roms? OP clearly says on their warranty page that rooting doesn't void the warranty but damaged hardware does.
Thanks in advance.

The OP5 is the fastest selling phone from OP according to a tweet from themselves. And the OP3(T) is still in the top ten of most popular xda threads.
We should be able to get a proper custom rom soon and good support for a minimum of three years is what I'd expect to happen for such a device.

A month or something. I was frustrated with the bloat wares of Cyanogen from COS12. So I moved to official cm12. After a month Sultan dropped his cm12.1. From there on wards I was using Sultan's Builds. His ROM is rock solid,more stable than stock! For me community builds are way better than what OEMs giving us. I never tried OOS BTW

As far as I know, the ta 1025 is basically the same as ta 1021. The recovery is in the [RECOVERY] TWRP 3.2 (and a sneak peak...) Thread here in the forums.

Well its a long process I used a post called convert global to Chinese ROM nokia 6 and I followed the instructions.then I proceeded to buy a bootloader unlock key and did the note you must click on edit phone information in OST before attempting the unlock as it needs the service permissions then just use fastboot with latest adb platform tools .i used the dm-verity commands to allow partition flashing and the critical commands for bootloader flashing and I flashed the unlock bin file.Im using the Chinese ROM as it has more features and NFC you'd have to sideload the play store but it works.also wouldn't hurt to check the forums for the other commands.the official recovery on twrp.me works flawlessly.also make sure you battery is at the least 50% charged anything below 15%charge ost will refuse to flash

Also where you able to root on oreo? The guides I found so far seem to indicate its not working yet

Well its a long process I used a post called convert global to Chinese ROM nokia 6 and I followed the instructions.then I proceeded to buy a bootloader unlock key and did the note you must click on edit phone information in OST before attempting the unlock as it needs the service permissions then just use fastboot with latest adb platform tools .i used the dm-verity commands to allow partition flashing and the critical commands for bootloader flashing and I flashed the unlock bin file.Im using the Chinese ROM as it has more features and NFC you'd have to sideload the play store but it works.also wouldn't hurt to check the forums for the other commands.the official recovery on twrp.me works flawlessly.also make sure you battery is at the least 50% charged anything below 15%charge ost will refuse to flash

U cannot bypass....just be patient

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?

You're probably referring to this: https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/comments/8kf0ln/fyi_xiaomi_disabled_waiting_time_of_360_hrs/
Haven't tried it, but sounds like it only works for specific devices.

sorry 4 my bad eng. You must enable edl mode to flash this, as the post said. However, you must testpoint your phone to enter edl mode, no other way to hope. I just buy it 3 days ago, so i will not try this. Hope you lucky guys.
