Hi everyone,
A week ago I purchased a MI5. I'm on MIUI 8.1.2.0 global stable ROM.
Actually it feels like a prisoner without having root access on my device. So I need to root it ASAP.
The problem begins here. I need to unlock the boot loader first. I just heard that after MIUI 7.5 Xiaomi refuses all the unlocking request from stable ROM. Then how can I unlock my bootloader ?
Can anyone give me a tutorial of unlocking bootloader of MI5 running MIUI 8.1.2.0 Global | Stable ?
Please let me know how to get an unlocked bootloader and get me out of this prison. ??

Same case with me
for the unlock procedure start from here: http://en.miui.com/unlock/
...with a working MIUI account (on your phone) you make the request, and the waiting time will be from 1 day to xyz days.
Two advices: 1) in the "why you want to unlock" put the real reason and do not do a copy&paste because refusal from xiaomi is -in such cases- possible; 2) set up your 64bit computer with the proper drivers (windoze is a b####).
Note: Sometimes the sms will not arrive (carrier problems), so check the unlock software to see if you are good to go.
For the flashing guides and roms here: http://en.miui.com/download-299.html
And here is the english forum of the miui: http://en.miui.com/forum-92-1.html
So, while you are waiting for the approval, do a search here on xda and there on miui for the best practice to do what you need.

Can't root my Mi5
Did you manage to root your phone?
I have the exact same situation, where I managed to unlock my phone by I still don't have root. There is security app does not have the "root access" option in the "permissions" menu
I tried flashing the the latest miui global dev rom as explained here en.miui.com/thread-267361-1-1.html, but I get a "Can't verify update! You're allowed to flash the newest develop version published by miui from stable version only" message.

I applied for unlocking bootloader for my Redmi 4A, using this reason:
'For flashing custom ROM'
Do you think that my request will be denied for being too honest?
This is good reason.
ditto

Yeah. I usually say something like "I am a developer working on advanced backup software and I need to unlock the bootloader to root on my device" or something like that. Anything that sounds legitmate should be fine, and I get my unlock codes pretty soon after that.
FYI, since this is the top thread when you search for "Redmi 4a XDA" on Google (not sure why) I figured I'd drop a link to the main thread for the Redmi 4a which contains all the info you need about root, bootloader unlock, custom ROMs and development: https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general/xiaomi-redmi-4a-chat-root-sd-425-2gb-t3511933
i did it with my redmi 3. 1st request was left unanswered. a week later i make another request with same reason as you and it got approved the next day.i think it has nothing to do with the reason, but the time and chances that they go through your request.
Chances are the request approval is automated and it looks for certain keywords to approve or dismiss. Try again with some reason as in Post #4 it might work.
Instead of custom rom, give the reason as custom recovery and something like you are very fond of customizing your device
and also root can also be a good reason. You can tell them that you are a developer or someone who likes to find fixes for issues and for that you need to complete control over the apps
I just say " I want to full control on my device" . and I get approval after 4 hours
I said that "I'm developing something"...and...you know what happens...

The most honest answer would be...
"I own it and am not locked in with any carrier obligations"
But, I'd probably be a wise guy with...
"I own it and am not locked in with any carrier obligations and, if this request is denied, please provide me with a full refund and I'll be more than happy to return it to you then provide this information and a statement to the Associated Press."
LMAO!!!

I applied to unlock my bootloader today by saying I wanted to install a customized ROM so I could tweak the phone to my specification. Got permission less than 10 minutes later.
i just fill that with
"my phone in bootloop mode, and I understand that I can only revive it by using fastboot mode without lost any data. please help me, I'm big fans of your redmi series"
maybe sounds funny, but I just got my permission a minute after submit that
just now unboxed my phone Redmi 4A (SD version-India),
want Unlock Bootloader & root with stock rom and ota safe. xD
But well, better fill out your own reason, as Xiaomi is stricting their bootloader unlock policy.

That fast now? what's your "forum rank"? I requested the permission a year ago (I had a Redmi 3) and it took me a week while still being new..
And yeah, as long it's not look 'template-y' then it's fine.

I just said that "I shall unlock the phone one way or another with or without your permission"
I'm not the ROM Creator or Developer
I'm just sharing how I successfully installed RR N on my ZE601KL
I put strain on ZE601KL cause it was difficult to find proper help and instructions and I kept facing some or the other issues for some time
The major problem I faced was Speaker not working and I got it fixed permanently by flashing ROM with proper procedure
This ROM is published by Fabb2303 and CLICK HERE to see his original thread.
I greatly appreciate all efforts of the dev
Downloads:
RR N latest build (from his thread)
Speaker Fix (from his thread)
Latest BeanGapps-arm64-7.1 - CLICK HERE
Official Unlock App
TWRP 3.0.2-Z00T
My Procedure:
1. Initially I was on Stock Asus ROM (WW-21.40.1220.1998)
2. Then I unlocked bootloader using Official Unlock App
3. Then flashed latest TWRP-Z00T
4. Advanced Wipe : System, Data, Cache, Dalvik-Cache
5. Install RR N zip + BeanGapps + Speaker Fix (All together)
6. Wipe Dalvik-Cache and Reboot

I'm curious about your steps here. Do you really have ZE601KL?
And you really can unlock bootloader using Official unlock App?
Because i'm googling everywhere i know, i can't find a person who success to unlock bootloader a ZE601KL, using official unlock app.
Even in some sites, our device is listed among unsupported device for official unlock app..

Hi mate. I just did, yesterday, but it wasn't easy. I guess it was just cause I'm a troll, regarding development and proper use of the resources the comunity shares here.
Seems to me that it was worse cause I wasn't used to work with adb, and my device was unusable. But as soon as I got the apk in the phone and got it to work, I think I had to start the apk a few times cause of some error, but in the end it got to work. Maybe you should try again, it doesn't seem that difficult to me now, after all the trouble. Get the apk on your phone and run it from there.
I was just looking now, and the one that's said to be appropriate for ze601kl [release_UnlockApp_1211.apk] wasn't the one that did it for me. The one that worked was supposed to work with Z00L, I think [UnlockTool_ASUS_AndroidM20160928_Singed.apk].
Anyway, unlocking the bootloader doesn't give you root acces directly. I don't really understand how root access seems to work these days, apparently you need to flash some patch (after unlocking bootloader) and then you can give access to apps. I don't really understand, it was different a few years ago. It was nice to go on playstore and get a free app to give you access without any trouble. Not anymore.
Here's a link in case you need, I think it's the right ZE601KL Unlock Tool: [drive. google. com/file/d/0By51hEg7wH0ONGZ0T0JNYXhQb1E/view ]. All the best!
ps: can't post external links, just add the "http" stuff and take the spaces off.
hi all. have MI 8 with 9.6.4.0
downloaded MIUI 10 global beta and flashed using MiFlash utility but left the Clear all and Lock selected.
now I've a brick because: at the end when phone rebooted go to locked bootloader.
Trying unlock utility i get the green dot at "verifying device", but stop at unlocking with "current account not bund to this device" and i cannot change dev options in the phone as it's clean and don't have rom.
I'm sadly stuck...
Any suggestion would be really appreciated... ((
There are a lot of threads.
You bricked your Mi 8.
Contact your Seller.
Sorry for you.

Seconded, there are many threads all over the place and you should've taken extra precaution. I don't think there is anything you can do. It is bricked and useless. You can tey seeking help from Mi Store.
I unlocked all of them since mi 2... I can say I'm a real jxxk...
still ask to myself whyi've been so light on doing it.
I will post if I will find any solution useful for other...

It is a very bad policy at least the can build in a warning in Mi flash.

Hello everyone.
Seem like alot of people are getting the wanted OEM unlock now, WHO do we need to get a working PIE ROM going? Are we getting close?
I think a bounty needs to be started in order to get a Good recognised ROM created interested. They arent gonna pay for a device that isn't officially released in USA. I'm sure there is 90 people on XDA wanting a custom ROM willing to pay £10 each to a bounty to get a device for a developer.
Indeed now all the bootloader situation is solved it would be great to get some working non EMUI ROM working...
I would certainly contribute to a bounty but maybe better first we are where we are , if there is anyone working on this, or could be potentially interested ... Maybe we could start by renaming this thread to something more informative to see if we can get some interest on this topic?

Working on it...
I`m interested
Eur 10 is very justified if we can get a fully functioning non EMUI rom
With treble support and released kernel sources it seems to be very realistic.
The only thing I'm worried about is the camera, but in the P20 Pro forum they already have a port of the original one working on Lineage.
It looks like OEM Unlock could be enabled again in FW 9.0.0.171 according to another xda post I found via Google
When I had the OP5t I was very happy to use the LiquidROM Dabug123, maybe we should look in the same direction for compliling a ROM for the M20P
You still need to pay for a bootloader unlock code currently once you get to .171

Quick question guys. If I unlock my bootloader and root the phone, can I go back and re-lock it to bring the phone back to its original factory state?

I am not 100% sure about the Mate 20 Pro, but I had unlocked my previous Mate 10 Pro (with official unlock code from Huawei, and adb) and months later I easily re-locked it back, using the same code.
Forgive my ignorance but can i Flash a custom rom without unlocking the bootloader? If not is my only option to pay FunkHuwaei for a code?
no you can't and yes it is
Hello everyone, still on 153 here in Denmark on 3, should we reach out for other ROM maintainer for guides? Do any other than EMUI people and FH Guys "helping" us?

Hi guys, got my ultra few weeks ago...I've seen loads of updates to the 12.5 and I saw that European version has already a stable 12.5. my question is, as I'm on a RKAEUVF, did someone try to upgrade to the RKAEUXM? And if so, did you needed to unlock the bootloader or was it just a simple upgrade? Thanks guys
If you can`t wait, till the upgrade, you need to unlock the bootloader...
I`m in same situation...
Omg you are funny. Just unlock this bootlader and do it. Are you 5?
?? You ok man? He asked something, got an answer. After this answer (what you made) what you want? Really...
There is a a lot ot thread here, just read (if not too hard) than, every asnwer here, or on the xiaomi EU forum if not enough what you find here...
Without unlocking he can`t change the rom from **VF to **XM... But good luck, maybe you know better.

Thank you @Mr Reese. Even though I could unlock the bootloader, some people can't understand that the reason I don't so it is because my bank is an online bank without an actual website. If I can't have the app working, I simply can't access my account. Ive been using custom ROMs for over a decade now, I know the pros and the cons, and unfortunately the app security is quite good and blocks me out as soon as I have an unlocked bootloader. I had the same issue with the beta version of Android on my pixel. So I rather not put myself through that work. Hence the question.
