TWRP for MI 8 - Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers

Are there any TWRP for MI 8 ?

Im also searching for. But first we must survive the 360 hours bootloader unlocking time. Or does someone have any bypass for that?

If you have premium account in Miui Forum, you can unlock your devices without wait. I was unlocked it without wait.

Premium account mean?

Don't know if it's related, but here installing the desktop MiCloud you will have the option to buy more storage so you become premium.(visit i.mi.com)

Bootloader unlock?

Since we have root, we now need a bootloader unlock. Does anyone know if there is a bootloader unlock coming? I hear that with the domestic carrier versions of this phone, you cannot even access fastboot. Is a bootloader unlock even possible?

Of course everyone wants unlock! LG's UI is pretty terrible and battery gobbling.

I didn't actually. I had an HTC One M8 and the software was amazing.

Because I don't understand what that means. I'm assuming you mean a stock kdz or tot (which is in the works by the way)

I don't see the point in having a question section in this forum when people are just going to tell you to go research it.
By the way, I did and I couldn't find anything. So, I thought I'd ask if anyone knew anything about it.

you never once asked. a bump'd recovery is a recovery that you can just flash without doing any extra stuff. can flash to and from stock to twrp vice versa with the press of a button.

Did you do it with this rom http://www.honorbuy.com/forum/thread-360060-1-1.html or did you have the global rom for unlocking the phone?
Cmon guys?? The ROM/development forum is a complete mess. This is a QUESTION and does not belong here.
Does nobody moderate these forums!?

Yup did it using that rom. And now that it's mentioned this does belong in questions.
Thread closed. Doesn't belong in development.

bootloader unlock process is pure CRAP!!

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.

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.

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..
Thanks.

Yes, but your root and recovery will be gone and you'll have to redo the root again. Unless you have Orangefox recovery well installed which has the ability to survive OTAs
