Unable to unlock bootloader - Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers

I've read the threads about unlocking bootloader in the redmi note 7, but none of them helped.
So the main problem is whenever I connect redmi into PC, it's recognized, but when I enter Mi Unlock app (miflash_unlock-en-3.5.1128.45), the phone is showing in left-up corner "..key to shutdown" (I can't see anything before key) and it's unmounting from PC.
I tried connecting it in many moments, but the result is the same. I tried also installing drivers from xiaomi, that you can install through the app itself, but it didn't change the results.
I've installed ADB app and drivers (as shown here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979) and connected my device to mi account.
As in the thread on https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-7/how-to/one-redmi-note-7-unlock-bootloader-t3890751 I tried to check via ABS if my device is listed and there is the output:
C:\adb>fastboot devices
afd9005 fastboot
C:\adb>fastboot oem device-info
...
FAILED (command write failed (Unknown error))
finished. total time: 0.005s

And the device goes into that mode like from mi unlock app
I'm posting below the link to the screenshots of my phone's settings, os version and things that I've read could help (I don't know how to insert photos in the post other way).https://we.tl/t-O3Z7H6AABu
I've been fighting with it for too long... Maybe someone encountered this problem and/or is able to provide the fix.

Should to try another PC or use a 2.0 USB HUB. I also have same problem with my laptop (core i3 with USB 3.0 port) but it's OK on an older PC (without USB 3.0)
Update: Hi, I found a better way to fix this problem. I did with my Dell 14 5447 (with Intel chipset and Windows 7). I uninstalled Intel(R) USB 3.0 eXtensible Host controler in Program and Features. And then download and install a newer driver from Intel (https://downloadcenter.intel.com/do...100-Series-and-Intel-C220-C610-Chipset-Family).

Oh I didn't try with USB 2.0. I have one in Mobo, so on few hours I'm going to tell if it fixed the issue

On my main PC plugging into a USB 2.0 on back panel didn't work, neither on my dad's PC, that have in the front panel USB 2.0.
So I opened the whole thing now on the laptop without USB 3.0 drivers installed. I installed win7 and I didn't have option in driver selection "Android", so I installed xiaomi drivers and just plugged the phone. AND IT WORKED! Now I just have to wait 102 hours XD
I have 2 modules inside my laptop that are connected to motherboard (1st include 2.0 usb, and 2nd 3.0, both on different sides of laptop), so they're in some way separated. I don't know how it would behave if I installed the drivers, but for now I'm not checking it.
Thanks you for help, I would never come up with that fix!
Just leaving the specs if it's caused by hardware and for someone who has the same:
i5-8400
B360M pro-vdh
Probably not improtant in this case, but just in case:

this usb device can perform faster if you connect it to a Hi-speed USB 2.0 port

My problem is little weird so i try to explain it as best as I can...
until today there was no problem to connect phone with USB but now when i connect the phone windows said "This device can peform faster this usb device can perform faster if you connect it to a Hi-speed USB 2.0 port. And another problem is when i turn phone into download mode start odin and connect the phone it said... usb device not recognized. I didnt flash any rom yet and i try different cables.
I am running on windows 7 ultimate 64-bit. I try two different PC and its look it the same problem.
But the weird part is that on third PC which has also win 7 ult 64-bit it works just fine.
So i try reinstall operation system but the same problem. The computer is max 3 years old so its has for sure usb 2.0
So i am little desperate because i am not sure if its problem with computers or with the phone.
Thank you for any advice!
I always had this problem with the i9100 actually, I blame crappy usb drivers.
Kies installed? Did you also try different usb ports? Chipset and USB Drivers of mainboard installed?
yes kies installed and also try back and front usb... but same result...
and usb drivers are installed manually by windows as far as i know... or?

Standard Windows message for USB connections just means what it says .
And another problem is when i turn phone into download mode start odin and connect the phone it said... usb device not recognized.
Download mode how and whats on the phone in download window
Connection must be to a mainboard usb port .
If your PC has Kies make sure its not running make sure USB debugging is off on phone .
Power phone off restart start Kies connect phone does Kies see phone .
If yes turn Kies off remove cable connect phone in USB mass storage mode wait for windows to install drivers . Does PC see phone in Windows Explorer .

yes windows explorer works
and kies also but still in usb 1.0 mode...
as I said I tried back usb and also front usb... same problem...
debugging is also off...
I try a little experiment... removed external grahics card and plug graphics on mainboard... and for a few seconds its works!
I try copy some video and speed was usb 2.0 but after few seconds its get error cannot copy bla bla and windows popup : this device can run faster and it change back to USB 1... weird...
and also i try again downloading mode but the same error... usb device not recognized...
Have you always used the same USB-port?
On some pc's, they only have one or two high speed ports and the other ones are "slow".
So yeah, try an other USB port on your pc
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
OP, I am confident it is a problem with your PC, and this XDA forum won't be able to help.
Try using another USB 2 device (like an MP3 player), see if you get the same message.
Use a different computers with the SGS2, see if you get the same message.

Thats your PC port USB 1

USB port not getting enough power .
Its PC not the phone explore sees phone and Kies sees phone = USB drivers ok
USB ports are not all usb 2 check your manual .
You can try factory reset on phone this will wipe all data .

TAB 10.1 GT-P7500 not detected in win 7 64[SOLVED]

Hi ,the problem is that when i connect the tab to the PC usb port(1.1 and 2.0),it does nothing.i have installed the mtp usb drivers and kies,sometimes the tablet is recognized under windows explorer as "portable device",but it's random and it's not predictable,it can be detected by windows 7 even after 30min or 1 hour.The tab is clockwork modded,actually i have flashed the latest stock rom honeycomb 3.2 build P7500XWKK4.I made a screenshot of the device manager when the tab was detected last time.I tried Debug USB enable/disable,doesn't work.Why this strange behaviour?
I also run x64 and do not experience any problems. You should try testing on a different computer to rule out any problems with the device.
I see,so i tried to connect the GT to my win7 notebook and also to my pc with a clean installation of win7 64 in a separate partition and still no luck.Meanwhile i'm using SwiFTP to transfer files to the device,hope to find a solution,maybe it's a broken/defective cable or 30pin usb port damaged
Yeah, seems like faulty usb port. Should send it back
Mine is Ok too, try to uninstall the Samsung Drivers, and Kies - if you have it installed - then reboot your computer all with the TAB disconnected from your PC.
try to perform a junk clean process for your PC.
Reinstall the Samsung Drivers, and TRY!
Win7 Pro x64 is my setup, working fine.
Don't quickly jump to the conclusion of "Defective USB Port" that's very Unlikely to occur on such pro equipment, me think!
solved
Guys I've changed the suspected faulty cable with a new one,now the TAB is recognised immediatly when plugged in,Odin works perfect now,it was hit'n'miss before.FINALLY!! now i can enjoy my teb(shame on you sammy)
Nice Bet that's a relieve
Yeah 2 weeks gettin' mad,i'm stressed now!i need some fun lol ,see you m8

[Q] USB-PC Not working?

I'm running OTA 4.0.3 (Acer_AV041_A500_1.033.00_PA_CUS1) rooted with I don't know what tool, but rooted after upgrading to 4.0.3, and using one of the tools found here which was the latest (at the time of rooting). The tablet has an "A500 Root Tools" app which has options to enter APX mode amongst other things.
I'm unable to get my Acer to connect to my PC via USB. I tried using both a mini(?)-usb cable and an A-A cable. My acer makes no notification, and there's no visible, or audible, evidence that anything was connected. USB Debugging enabled and disabled makes no difference. The tablet shows absolutely no sign that anything was plugged in. Nothing in notifications, nothing in any file managers.
Likewise on both a Windows 7 PC, and a Windows Vista machine. No little sound saying I plugged something in. Nothing listed in device manager. Nothing anywhere. The Win7 machine has the Acer drivers installed, as it is the machine I used to root it a few months ago.
Is there some weird ICS toggle that I need to perform to get this working? I know my USB ports are working as I've plugged in USB sticks and it mounts them without issue.
At the end of the day, I'm just wanting to flash my bootloader so that I can install CWM and a custom ROM. If there's a way to do that without needing my PC connected, that would make me equally happy.

Reinstall the Acer Drivers and also the Google drivers from the android sdk if u have that installed, if not use the adb_fast.zip attached. For you to successfully flash the BL do not underestimate the importance of having the drivers correctly installed - its the cause of 90% of the problems folks have had - my advice is to keep Device Manager open the whole time so you can see what is or isn't installing - dont proceed with the flash until you are sure they are - else you'll be looking at a downgrade to HC to fix things
you can also use Acer Recovery Installer from the market to install a custom recovery
While I appreciate your help, my issue is not drivers - Windows isn't loading the wrong drivers, or no drivers at all. Windows is showing no sign at all, at all, in device manger, any where, that a tablet has been plugged in. Like wise, the tablet gives ZERO notifications on being plugged in to a PC. Nothing. No sounds. No notification. Nothing.
I was originally using the micro(?) usb slot, and it was not working. I assumed that USB slot was dead. So I went and bought a USB A-A cable - after testing the normal USB slot and established it works - and it, too, does absolutely nothing when plugging the device into a PC.
I've since tested with an Ubuntu 12.04 machine as well. dmesg lists nothing.

and the adb interface driver thats not showing in device manager?? and you have the acer drivers installed??
All the signs are pointing to no drivers, failing that its sounding like a hardware issue either yr tab or cable - can u try on another pc/laptop?
Tested it on a Win 7 Dell, on a Vista Dell, and on an Ubuntu 12.04 Compaq. None show any sign of the device being connected.
I know my *two* micro USB cords work as my Nooks (color and tablet) have no problem with them. I know the large USB slot works as I've plugged in a keyboard and a USB memory stick and both are immediately detected by android.
I've also done a factory reset on the tab. Problem persists, obviously.
I'm actually setting up stock Win7 on another laptop right now. When it's complete I'll install acer drivers and plug in the tablet. It will be the only USB device, let alone android, to ever be plugged in to it.

The tool you used to root it (icsRoot) also has an unroot tool, which you could have used...I have tried to unroot manually which wasnt easy as I had a pre-rooted rom and I had real trouble getting rid of superuser, but in your case it may be a bit different....Sorry can't give you much help in the unrooting ics dept. Maybe try flashing acer stock rom??? or starting a new thread??
Did you ever solve this problem, I'm pulling my hair out with the same thing.

are you trying to flash something or do you mean when you connect yr tab
windowz explorer doesnt show your int/ext storage??
more info needed, what rom and bootloader, what OS on yr pc can u try on a different one, try a different cable and usb port..
have you run the acer drivers setup.exe
did u install the android usb ones
have u opened a command prompt from the folder where adb.exe is and run "adb devices"...does a number show??
when u have device manager open and connect yr cable do you see the drivers install. If they are there then uninstall them, disconnect yr cable and clean boot and reconnect.
If they do not install then manually install by pointing them to the folder you extracted the zip to...for the acer ones, just point it to your c: drive
If windows trys to install them, stop the hardware wizard from searching windows update and manually install them yourself.
If you've tried to flash the bootloader and it hasnt completed for what ever reason - you can strike issues such as yours - again, uninstall, clean boot, reconnect, manual install
I have my own thread here

That's correct, a straight USB "A to A" won't work. Further, I discovered something else; not all micro-usb cables are created equally! I was using a cable that worked fine on my Thunderbolt phone, would not work at all on my A500. Turned out there's some enhancements to the pinouts on the newer micro-usb devices. So the lesson here is go with the cable that came with the device if at all possible.
Seriously though, give a different micro-usb cable a shot; they're pretty cheap around the interwebz.

[Q] Problems with Magldr installation

I dont get a usb connection to my omnia 7
I tried it on 3 pcs 1 with 64bit 2 with 32bit and all usb ports
On all pcs I installed the usb driver
All pcs recognize my phone but the software gives this error:
[Error Description]:
Please make sure that your device is connected to your computer.
also make sure that right drivers are installed (SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.exe)
Try to connect device to different USB port and also you can try to reboot PC.
Also you can try to exclude USB hubs.
[Info]: USBWorkDMLI_SAM.cpp (173)
anyone knows what i am doing wrong ?
regards chris
Hi,
I have exactly the same problem as chris1005, with an Omnia 7.
I strictly followed the instructions to install Magldr:
1) Installing Usb Samsung Drivers
2) Put my phone in download mode
3) Connect it to my pc
4) Launch "DMLI for Samsung V1"
And when i reach the "Connect" step, i get the "173" error (view attachment).
I run on a Win7 x64, my phone is developer unlock.
Thanks for the answers
I had the same problem, but it was solved when I used a USB port on the back (connected to the motherboard) instead of one on the front (connected trough a hub).
Hi,
Thanks for your response, but i tried this method, it doesn't work too, whether the usb on motherboard or the usb hub.
:/.
I don't know where this is blocking.
Is there any other solution to flash a rom on an Omnia 7 than the DFT solution ?
Thanks.
I flashed back from 7.8 to 7.5 and had the same problem again, but ater I rebooted my computer, it worked.

[Q] Trying to flash CleanRom but I get error (Samsung Focus)

I have a Samsung Focus 1.3 and I am trying to Install Clean ROM 3.0.
I believe I have all the proper drivers installed on my computer (Samsung USB, WMDC) I have installed MAGLDR 2.00 on the phone and I can enter MAGLDR mode by pressing volume down + cam + power. Upon pressing back it says "Wait USB" and as soon as I connect I see "USB! CMD connected"
However, when I run DWPI I get the following error:
Please make sure that your device is connected to your computer.
also make sure that right drivers are installed (Active Sync or Windows Mobile Device Center)
Try to connect device to different USB port and also you can try to reboot PC.

Did you do the obvious and install Activesync/Windows Mobile Device Center? Did you try a different USB port? Did you try a different USB cable?

I did try that and that was not the issue - I think the issue might be related to the following:
I use this computer for remote debugging on other platforms. A tool I have installed (Trace32) includes bunch of drivers for different platforms and I realized that when I connected the phone in MAGLDR mode the driver that it took was one from Trace 32 (It said WEA Device instead of Microsoft USB Sync). Either way, I forced it to use Microsoft USB sync but even after restarting it would appear as connected in device manager but DFT_WPI_SAM1 would not recognize it and give me the same error. I'm thinking it has something to do with the fact that there are multiple drivers that match the same device.
I finally decided to use my 64 bit Win8 machine, and I was able to flash it without a problem.
