bootloader unlock process is pure CRAP!! - Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion

I had hopes for this POS phone but may dump it on Swappa. Locked bootloader! Might as well bought a Samsung!!
I got permission to unlock, bound phone via China server. Been 5 days, " unlock" button on unlock tool still is greyed out! Loaded all provided drivers etc. Should have stayed with my Nexus 6p however crappy battery life. Anyone have any suggestions on the bootloader? Thanks in advance

Install Google Fastboot drivers and install them using device manager.

Tried and no go. Did you use VPN on computer as well when using unlock tool?

No. Unlock button stays grey when device isnt detected.

Woohoo the things we do for root! Finally after 2 days of failing to unlock, I finally decided to reinstall Windows in boot camp. Worked like a charm. All rooted and working gcam mod. Thanks for your help. Not sure why had problems with the drivers but oh well.

How did you finally unlock the bootloader ? With xiaomi unlock tool or with fastboot command ?

The power button is not needed for anything, really. There are ways to circumvent its usefulness, even though it would be nice to have a working power button.
To start up my device if it's shut down, I just do the battery pull trick which works.

You need to be on v20a, you can use the hacked kdz method as that's what I did. Then in dialer type in 3845#*880# then go to version info and look at software version. If it says euro xxx you can unlock if it doesn't then you most likely can't.

If you just follow the instructions, two things can happend:
Unlock the bootloader, or not...
Allways able to go back to V10x or remain in V20A.
Now, if you start to mess with other commands and files and programs (like nvflash), than you might have a problem.

I have the same problem. The device appears as mi5 on 'Portable Devices'. However I can't flash a ROM inside it. ADB recognizes the device. I suppose it is a driver problem.

any way to still unlock the BL?

Hi, i see all threads have been closed concerning the BL unlock, i really just need root, any method out there that can still be able to unlock the BL unofficially?
Even willing to pay if it has to go that far, and im sure many users here will agree..
