Can't unlock bootloader and fake rom

Hello everyone i have this problem. I bought an sh xiaomi mi5 and it has a fake rom installed, basicly i can't install zip files from the updater or anything similar. I have recived the unlock code from xiaomi but i just can't unlock the phone, it gets stuck at 50% and that is, from what i've read, because i don't have the chinese developer build. I can't install the dev build and i can't unlock.. So can someone please help me and tell me how the hell am I goig to install the official rom? Please..
I have tried the chinese xiaomi thing, and when i click shift+ the flash i click recovery, it won't work because it doesn't find my phone, i tried every port and they won't work.

This what worked for me
Download a fastboot rom from miui site.

Do the deep flash cable method, that always works. With fairly beginner soldering skill I managed to make one in 10 minutes

On Windows 7 i needed to manually install ADB fastboot drivers from Control Panel -> Device Manager. If you see "Unknown ADB interface" or similiar in device manager, then manual installation of drivers is required.

in fastboot mode .
i solved it by;
1.disable internet coonection cause of auto update driver
2.uninstall kedacom driver, select delete files.
3.update driver manually and select let me pick driver.
4. choose usb composite device
then retry

can u kindly explain the process in detail ....step by step it will help many ppl as almost all resellers r selling mi5 with fake Roms ... and MIUI forum is a mess .....
thanks

I had the same problem with an Mi 5s and a fake ROM. Amongst the chaos of the MIUI forums I found a poster who described what worked for him unlocking a Redmi Note. I followed his advice and the unlocking process went without a hitch after many frustrating attempts getting to 50% with an error.
The answer was to do a factory reset, then on the initial setup, log into your Mi account and accept everything - sync, data, find, backup etc. Once this was done, I ran MiFlashUnlock and the unlocking process completed successfully.
Hope this helps!

1. you should flash offical global rom or offical chinese development rom with mi flash app
http://en.miui.com/thread-272376-1-1.html
2. Then reboot to fastboot by volume down + power button combination.
3. if device manager shows your device as "usb composite device ,you can go on and try "fastboot devices" command in adb folder command promt to see if command is working .if not ;
3.a. it is probably shown as "kedacom usb device".right click device , uninstall drivers by selecting remove files option.
3.b. disable internet connection and right click and refresh in device manager .after your device is shown . right click on device and select update driver
3.c. select "browse my computer" and after that choose "let me peek" option. than find "usb composite driver" and install
3.d. retry fastboot command as mantioned above.
4.then use this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-5/how-to/unlocking-xiaomi-mi-5-bootloader-t3336243 for unlock .
5. this one for twrp http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-5/development/recovery-twrp-xiaomi-mi-5-t3412123
6. now you can install any rom you want .another usefull info ; if you dont want to see password on every boot after flashing twrp ,backup your data use "fastboot erase userdata" in fastboot mode. remember this will remove all data on your phone .

thanks man will follow ur instructions as soon as I get my mi5

[GUIDE] Unbrick oneplus 5 with Official Unbrick tool | HARD BRICK | SOFT BRICK |

The OnePlus 5 Unbrick Tool was posted on online a few days ago on Chinese OnePlus Forum which they received via a OnePlus staff member. The tool is in many ways similar to the one provided for OnePlus 3/3T with the only difference being that it downloads, installs,and flashes HydrogenOS firmware exclusively.
The unbrick tool wipes your device and installs a stock HydrogenOS based rom on it.
STEPS
1. Extract Drivers and Recovery Tool files on Desktop
2. Shut Down your device (If the device is bricked, ensure that it has sufficient charge)
3. Hold the Volume Up button and connect device to PC
4. Open Device Manager on PC and find QHUSB BULK under Unknown Devices
5. Hit right click on the device and update device software. Refer to locally installed drivers if automatic installation fails
6. Your device should now be mentioned as Qualcomm 9008
7. Open the Unbrick tool with elevated privileges (as an Administrator) and hit Start on top left corner
8. Wait until you see a green text flashing. This ensures that the device has successfully been restored
9. Disconnect OnePlus 5 and reboot your unbricked device

[All-in-One] Redmi Note 7 (lavender): Unlock Bootloader, Flash TWRP, Root, Flash ROM

Dear Redmi Note 7 user,
I'm not responsible if anything happens to your device. If you execute these AiO procedures properly then you shouldn't face any problems.
Before you proceed please back up all your important data and make sure that your phone battery is charged >80%!
A. Prerequisites:
1. Disable driver signature enforcement in Windows
If your computer doesn’t recognize Xiaomi drivers then please disable driver signature enforcement. How to do this please read here: http://en.miui.com/thread-237673-1-1.html
2. Install ADB and Fastboot tools with drivers on Windows
How to do this please read here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
Restart your computer.
3. Enable "OEM unlocking" and "USB debugging" in your device
a. Enable Developer Options in: Settings/About Phone/MIUI version. Click on MIUI version seven times
b. Now go to: Settings/Additional Settings/Developer Options and check "OEM unlocking" and "USB debugging"
4. Check if your bootloader is locked
a. After successful installation of "ADB and Fastboot" enter the fastboot mode by holding together "Volume Down + Power" and connect your device to your computer via USB cable (best would be the original cable).
b. Go to the folder where you have put the "ADB and Fastboot" and open a command window inside that folder. To do that hold together "Shift + Right Click" on any empty white space inside the folder and then select "Open PowerShell Window Here" or "Open Command Window Here"
c. Enter the terminal command in command line: >>fastboot devices<<
If you don't see your device it means that the drivers weren't installed properly or the device wasn't connected properly. If this happens please reinstall your drivers from Point A. 2. or try these drivers here:
http://xiaomiadvices.com/download-xiaomi-usb-drivers/
d. If you see your device then enter the terminal command in command line: >>fastboot oem device-info<<
If your bootloader is locked, you'll get the following status (or something similar):
…………………………………………………………………….
(bootloader) Device tampered: false
(bootloader) Device unlocked: false
(bootloader) Device critical unlocked: false
(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: false
(bootloader) Display panel:
OKAY [ 0.058s]
finished. total time: 0.063s
………………………………………………………………………
If your bootloader is unlocked, you'll get following status (or something similar):
…………………………………………………………………….
(bootloader) Device tampered: false
(bootloader) Device unlocked: true
(bootloader) Device critical unlocked: true
(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: false
(bootloader) Display panel:
OKAY [ 0.053s]
finished. total time: 0.055s
………………………………………………………………………
5. Request Permission from Xiaomi to Unlock the Bootloader
a. Create a Mi Account: https://global.account.xiaomi.com/pass/register
b. Sign to Xiaomi and apply for unlocking https://en.miui.com/unlock/
6. Connect your Mi Account to your Device
Go to: Settings/Additional Settings/Developer Options/Mi Unlock status and check "Add account and device"
B: Unlock the Bootloader
Unlocking the bootloader will erase all your data! So please back up your data before you unlock the bootloader!
1. You must enable "OEM unlocking" and "USB debugging" as per point A. 3.
2. You must connect your Mi Account with your device as per point A. 6.
3. Download Mi Unlock Tool here: https://en.miui.com/unlock/
4. Enter the fastboot mode by holding together "Volume Down + Power" and connect your device to your computer via USB cable (best would be the original cable)
5. Start the Mi Unlock Tool
6. Enter your eMail and your password of your Mi Account
7. Connect you device to your computer and start the unlock procedure
8. Follow the unlock tool instructions until the unlock procedure is finished
9. Reboot your device
If you get the message, that the unlocking can be done after 72h or 360h or 720h etc., then you have to wait for that time to pass.
C: Install the TWRP Recovery
a. Your bootloader must be unlocked
b. The official twrp can be downloaded here: https://twrp.me/xiaomi/xiaomiredminote7.html. However the official twrp for Redmi Note 7 is not yet available. For the time being please download the latest unofficial "twrp-x.x.x.img" from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...overy-unofficial-twrp-touch-recovery-t3921637 and put it into a dedicated folder in your computer and rename it to "twrp".
c. Go to the folder where you have put the twrp-file. Now open a command window inside that folder. To do that hold together "Shift + Right click" on any empty white space inside the folder and then select "Open PowerShell Window Here" or "Open Command Window Here"
d. Enter fastboot mode by holding together "Volume Down + Power" and connect your device to your computer
e. Enter the terminal command in command line: >>fastboot flash recovery twrp.img<<. Attention: Do not restart your device otherwise Xiaomi's original recovery might overwrite the custom recovery twrp!
f. Boot your device into recovery (3 possible methods)
+ by entering terminal command in command line: >>fastboot boot twrp.img<<, or
+ by holding together "Volume Up + Power" until you see the MI logo, release "Power" button but keep pressing "Volume Up" until you see the recovery, or
+ by holding together "Volume Up + Volume Down + Power" until you see recovery

3. If the rom doesn’t contain Google Apps then download Google Apps ARM64, Mini, Pico, Nano etc. from here www.opengapps.org and put them into device's internal memory or computer or on-the-go memory stick or micro sd-card.
4. Enter recovery mode:
+ by holding together "Volume Up + Power" until you see the MI logo, release "Power" button but keep pressing "Volume Up" until you see the recovery, or

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
Question:
My computer doesn't recognize my device. What can be the problem?
Answer:
1. Check your cable if it is the original one, and if not then use the original one.
2. Check you drivers if they are installed properly and if not, then re-install them.
3. If the problem is not with point 1 and 2 then please try another computer.
Question:
Can I bypass the waiting time to unlock the bootloader?
Answer:
No you can't. You have to wait for that time to pass.

You know you can probably root without recovery using Magisk Manager and fastboot. You'll just need the original boot image which you should be able to extract from Xiaomi's firmware downloads.

Unfortunatelly the waiting time varies from person to person and also which smarphone model we are talking about. Until now the longest time I waited to unlock a bootloader was 72h. In Xiaomi forums people are reporting that they are waiting btw. 72h - 720h, sometimes even more than 1000h.

That's completely untrue. I do tutorials for these devices on my website Android Explained and have bought the latest ones from the Mi Global seller account on AliExpress.
All have been completely sealed devices, shipped a day or two after their Chinese launch, and once you can unlock the bootloader (you do have to wait a certain period of time), then you can flash the global fastboot ROM with either Mi Flash, or just using the flash_all.bat file

the person you quoted said 'without recovery'. . .not 'with a locked bootloader'
You'll still need to unlock the bootloader, but once you do then you can patch the boot.img file for the device with Magisk and then load it onto the phone (instead of installing TWRP and then flashing Magisk) to gain root access

That sounds interesting - so - please state if I'm correct:
Once Redmi Note 7 Global version is out, I could install the official Global ROM and this one would work and have OTA upgrades in future on my Chinese Redmi Note 7?
Thank you in advance.

Global rom for Redmi Note 7 is not available yet, and thus I can't test it myself yet, but judging by all other Xiaomi Smartphones I had until now (Mi 5, Mi 6, Mix 2s, Redmi Note 4, Redmi Note 5 etc.) I was always able to flash the global rom on my Chinese version of these smartphones. Of course the bootloader will have to be unlocked. I'm quite sure that flashing the global rom on Chinese version of Redmi Note 7 will be possible too!

Yes, OTA will work! Android development on Chinese versions compared to Global version is a prerogative of developers. They decide which version of MIUI (Chinese or Global) they take as basis for their further development.

Question Hard brick

PLEASE HELP!!
I just hard bricked my wife's new Redmi Note 10 Pro!
I bought the Chinese version and got the bootloader unlocked, and then tried to replace it with the global Rom from the official website.
In the process I kept receiving an error: "Mismatching Image and device error ".
I followed a couple of tutorials and this particular seem popular, where I had to delete some lines in the .bat file.
After that the flashing process started but halfway an error appeared again. After several attempts I decided to restart from Fastboot mode, and this was when I realized it had bricked.
Now I can't go to Fastboot mode and I keep getting Vibrations but a dead screen.
PLEASE HELP

When you flash things (usually boot.img) it will lock it again
just check and confirm if its still unlocked
plug in your device and do adb reboot bootloader

So not to worry but try flashing using sp tools
Put your phone on charger for now
Then
If your phone not getting recognised by pc, unplug and wait for a 6-10 seconds and plugin again or plug in and hold Power+ Volume down or up button till pc recognises it, this will be handy later
here's a guide to flash via SP tools, or you can follow a youtube video to guide you along step by step

Due to the lack of kernel source code, there is no official TWRP. Only unofficial builds available.
The included version of this post is already very outdated. The most current is 3.7.0, which allows the installation and decryption of A12, A12L and A13 ROMS at the cost of losing support for A11

Did it work flawlessly ???
Which variant Global or Chinese ?

Due to the lack of kernel source code, there is no official TWRP. Only unofficial builds available.
The included version of this post is already very outdated. The most current is 3.7.0, which allows the installation and decryption of A12, A12L and A13 ROMS at the cost of losing support for A11

Can´t you flash TWRP? Or can´t you flash a custom ROM? as the tittle in the forum says. Provide screenshots.

Thanks for the info, very clear instructions and worked like a charm.

pls someone reach out and help me if possible. my phone became unuseable T_T my discord is Kaito#8048

What is the recommended twrp version for the Note 11 on Android 11? Looks like not everyone is familiar with the issue that the latest twrp versions don't work on A11 phones.

twrp_3.6.1-spes
The link is in the first post.

At which part of the process does it erase your data? Before or after the 7 days? Are there any risks? (on my last phone, Moto G7 Power, after some failed attempts my SIM/IMEI became unusable)

After the 7 days (168 hrs), you started the process to unlock bootloader, you'll be able to do it, and after that you unlock the bootloader, the process does format data automatically. From all the numerous Xiaomi devices I owned, I never experienced those things; failed attempts nor loosing IMEI.

It seems, there is no custom ROMs for your device, you may stick to a GSI instead. This is from a quick (not extensive) search.

If I try to unlock bootloader again before the 7-day period ends, will it say how many hours I have left or re-start the counter?
EDIT: For anyone out there, it doesn't mess up the process.

Unless you sign out or format data.

after booting TWRP via ADB touchscreen function doesn't work until I reboot the phone. Does anyone faced the same issue if yes than what's the fix?
