One of my friend has redmi note 3 kenzo
It would be very helpful if someone has a trick to unlock bootloader without permission.
I think there is no need of permission for old devices for unlocking bootloader.
One of my friend has Redmi note 4X and was able to unlocked without asking for permission.
even this worked for his Redmi 3S but with 72hours of waiting time.
Just logged in into Mi unlock tool with same account as in device and your friend should be able to unlock bootloader (maybe not right away but with several hours of waiting time)
Problem isn't that
Problem is :- He is not able to add his mi account from developer option for oem unlocking.
An error occur always.

Yes, right. Log in in Mi unlock tools on PC with the same account as in the phone and then connect phone in fastboot mode but first make sure oem unlock is enable and usb debugging is turned on. ignore the account log in in phone.
just give it try.

Log out of mi account in your phone, log in again, associate that account with your device then try unlocking the bootloader. Worked for me that way.

sorry but I don't get it... if you login to Mi account that means you are getting permission from Xiaomi isn't not?

Don't be confused. Older devices are unlockable without even applying(i am saying this on my experience) i have unlocked two of my friends Redmi 3S and Redmi note 4X without even applying to xiaomi.
never devices needs to have permission to unlock and it takes time and request can get rejected if the it does not meet their conditions.
if you have old device such as more than a year or more.
Just download and install Mi flash tools and you are good to unlock but it still shows error of 50% or stuck at 99% so you'll have to unlock after remaining hours which will show on mi unlock tools.
I just used this method to unlock my Mi Max 2, Miui 10

Its most likely server error from xiaomi as it happens many times and almost everyone faced it whoever tried to unlock i guess.
Please try again later and if possible try and connect to different WiFi network before adding account.
Also you can just give it a try by enabling USB debugging, oem unlock turned on from developers options and then just turn off your device and boot into fastboot mode and try unlocking it, regardless of adding mi account.
You should also try some different versions of mi unlock tools(preferably older version).
As i have mentioned it worked without even adding account and it took 3 days to unlock as it was getting stuck at 50% or 99% and was asking to wait for 72 hours and later it unlocked in first try so this should work for you too.
There is unofficial way to unlock bootloader please search on XDA/YouTube or some other websites.
I am exactly facing the same problem please help
Dear friends i done all this

Can you like tell me the full procedure that i have to do to unlock it.
Mi unlock tool just says you have to add account in mi unlock status.
Thanks for the help if this works it will help me out a lot.
Hi, I have xiaomi 9 pro, I unlocked it successfully after getting the permision, tried to flash it following all the instructions, and at the end it showed error "Not catch checkpoint (\$fastboot -s *lock)" and the phone does not turn on anymore... so it is locked and I cannot ask for another permission... any suggestions how to fix that?

See. This is why you should flash WITHOUT locking BL in MiFlash, if something goes wrong u can do it again but if you have locked BL, then you probably need to use EDL

Hi Guys
The unlocker tool tells me, this device is not supported. There isn't a way to even make an application for unlock.Mi max worked flawlessly.

You missed something. Have You applied at all?
Unlocked mine without any problems. Previously unlocked two redmi note 3 sd phones.
I've unlocked mine without any problems. Have you made an account with Mi? Have you opened the required setting in development section?

I made account with Mi,logged in with same account, ensured find device option works, enabled unlock bootloader in developer options, logged into mi cloud and ensured the deice is only one and online, rebooted into fastboot mode, logged into mi unlock with phone number, and it says checking your mi account for permissions and then your device isnt supported by mi unlock. I tried all versions of unlock with same results.

I got permission 5 days ago. Since then i have tried everything but still cant get it unlocked. I am using developer rom on my Mi Max 2. I checked all settings in developer settings. Using latest mi unlock.. Don't know what the problem is. It says account not bound to the device. Hell I have tried it and believe me it is bound. I verified on i.mi.com... Any help appreciated.

Thanks for suggestions. I tried the way you suggested. Still it is saying same account not bound. I was very happy when I bought it, Well not so happy now. There's not a unofficial way either.
Finally managed mine and got TWRP,Magisk and Xposed installed.
How did you manage it? simply wait and try again and again?

If you can't bound account, just flash miui developer beta version and try to bound in developer options again....

How did you manage to get it done, could you please share, I'm having the same not supported problem with my Mi Max 2, I'm using the same Mi Account that I used to unlock my Redmi Note 3 (Dec 2016).
What ROM you used? what Steps you took, thanks in advance for sharing.
Hey mate,
Start with unlocking bootloader. Apply for permission, wait few days then use mi tool to unlock. Were you able to make application via website? Chrome would redirect from application page, so it wasnt visible. Had to use Internet explorer and received permission few hours later. However could only unlock it 7 days later. Then use stupdroid to install TWRP, and you are good to go.

Hi,
I've bought the Mi 9T Pro on Amazon.
So far, everything works fine besides the fact that I get an error message in chinese while using the Mi flash unlocker to unlock the bootloader.
Mi account logged in. Since I don't have a nano-sim yet for my main number I've used my spare card to activate it.
Anyone fluent in chinese what might be missing here?

The message says that the device has been locked via the MI find my device service. Is the number your account? If so, you will have to unlock your device first via find my device.

If the displayed account is your account, you should be able to just head to i.mi.com and unblock your own device. If it's someone else's account number, that means someone has marked it stolen or otherwise locked.
Alright, after cutting my sim I continued. After updating the MiUi Flasher I get now errors in English.
New error: "Current account is not bound to this device. Enable it under dev options -> Mi Unlock status."
I did exactly that - I inserted the sim, went to this options, and ticked link to account. fter that I got a message "linked successfully". In fastboot mode in the flasher I get the same exact error again. The phone does not seem to be recognized by the Mi account and is thus not listed in the Mi cloud.
Any ideas what went wrong and how to fix it?

Log in to the Mi Flash Tool using the phone number of the SIM that's in the phone and was used to register the phone for unlocking (when you go to developer settings, unlock status)
This normally happens because the phone number wasn't registered on your Mi account before starting the unlock process.
That was the error, ty very much. I did always login with my email. After the phone number it did show a timer.
PS: a whole week now? No idea why they prolong it each time...

Might have been due to an older version of the Mi flash tool. After I updated it, it was in english. Maybe the older version did not have support for the global Mi 9T and thought I have a chinese K20 Pro.

I am facing the same error. After adding the account in MI Unlock Status in the Developer options, enabling OEM Unlock, waiting for 7 days, I am getting an error in the mi unlock tool, "Couldn't unlock. Please add your account in MIUI's Settings>Developer options>Mi Unlock Status.".
I have even formatted the phone using the official recovery, but to no help.
Would really appreciate if someone could shine some light on this issue.
Thanks

Yes, I have the same issue.
Seems the problem is from Xiaomi's end or the problem is MIUI
I was on MIUI 11 when requested for unlocking, it said 168 hours and now this problem. "Couldn't unlock. Please add your account in MIUI's Settings>Developer options>Mi Unlock Status.".
Will downgrading to MIUI 10 solves this problem?

I'm thinking of downgrading once I found the fastboot rom.
Same thing happened to me
I bricked my k20 so I flashed a fastboot ROM, but selected the flash and lock option by mistake. The fastboot ROM was 10.3.3 and the unlock didn't work. I got the same error you did. I even updated to 10.3.5 and still the same error. So there is no point in downgrading. As multiple people have the same from past few days it must be Xiaomi's fault. We just have to Hope they fix the issue soon.
Did you try from a different laptop? Perhaps it's a USB driver problem?
I had exactly the same issue and it was solved by signing in again on my Mi account in my phone.
Is USB debugging activated in developper options? What is your OS?

Just one small question; will unlocking the BL
erase all (user)data on the phone? Mi unlock
tool gives a warning that all will be erased.

I am too facing same issue. No luck so far. Waiting for unlock since week. Tried everything still getting same error.
Same issue here - Tried unlocking with multiple accounts and with multiple version of the unlock tool.
Seems the issue is either with MIUI 11 or with Xiaomi Servers which are unable to identify the bound account to the device.
I suspect it is more to do with backend services because when I initially tried to unlock on MIUI 11, the unlock tool gave me a wait time of 168 hours and now this error.
So I bound the Mi account I use on my 9T Pro when I bought it in October (came from redmi 4x) and in November I tried to unlock the bootloader from the common method using Mi unlock, but it said I had to wait 168 hours, I waited like 15 days (I was occupied by work and forgot about the bootloader thing) then, 15-16 days after tried to unlock the bootloader again and got the same "wait 168 hours"; I waited another week+1 day and tried to unlock it again and the same 168 hours message appeared. Today, another week+1 day passed and tried to unlock again and the same message showed up again.
Tl;Dr :
I've been trying to unlock the bootloader for like 2 months and every time I try to unlock it it shows "wait 168 hours".
Any way to fix this or unlock the bootloader without mi unlock?
when you say you tried to unlock the bootloader, what did you actually do?
Also during the wait time was the phone on? Was the SIM card in? were you using it while you waited?
After waiting a week what are you doing?
You should not do anything on the phone, other than put it into fastboot.
Then connect to the PC and use the Mi Unlock Tool as normal.
Doing things like changing the Mi account linked to the phone, binding the phone again in the Mi Unlock Status screen, etc. will reset the timer.
I am facing same issue on my mi note 10!!
Do you able to unlock your Device then??
From my experience you can use your phone normally while you wait , make sure you use an Intel based pc and make sure you install and update the drivers from mi unlock tool and mi flash tool .
It happened to me once because i didn't have the drivers correctly installed , and log in to both devices , also oem unlock on in dev options just in case.
Just go to developer mode and check mi unlock status and follow what has been said. And dont just login mi account in your phone but also sync your account with your phone
I have followed all rules
1)I didn't sign out my mi account from the device during waiting time!!
2)used my phone normally with sim card
3) i installed drivers from mi unlock tools
4)oem &usb debugging is on
5)i tried with 3 accounts but same issue occuring!

You should have already added the Mi account at the start of the process. Redoing this again at the end is why the counter is getting reset.
After 7 days you only need to put the phone in fastboot mode, connect to the PC and run the unlock tool.

No brother listen, suppose i added mi account in mi unlock status ...then maintaining all rules(find device on,sync on) i have entered to fastboot mode and starts the unlock process by mi unlock tools then i got 168 hours timer
Ok fine then after 7 days don't i need to again add account to mi unlock status??? I talked about this!! I didn't logout mi account from my device within the 7 days!
If you talk about that after 7 days i just need to go at fastboot mode and unlock through the mi unlock tools then my question is how my device will recognize?? It won't show any error like add your device in mi unlock status?????
Check this note i found it miui website
Note:
1. Follow the timer/ waiting period shown in Mi Unlock Tool to unlock successfully.
2. After you've successfully bound your Mi Account, do not factory reset/ log out the approved Mi account from your phone. Otherwise, the timer will be reset and you gotta spend more time waiting again.

At the start you go to the Mi Unlock Status in the developer options and press the button to link and validate (bind) the phone with your Mi account(needs to be done over cellular data). This only needs to be done once. If you do this step again it resets the 7 day timer.
After 7 days you just need to use the Mi Unlock Tool, logging in to it with the account you already linked to the phone 7 days earlier.

I got it !!
That's the issue!! Okay i will try after next 7 days
So the summary is like
Unlocking process has two parts
1st part
We need to apply and get 7 days waiting
In this step we need to add mi account through mi unlock status (developer option)
2nd part
After 7 days just directly booted to fastboot and starts unlocking procedure by mi unlock tools!!
But are you sure about that???

Brother, you shouldn't add the mi account in MI unlock status more than once. Just add it the first time only. If you add it again, the waiting timer resets.

okay...... i wish to do that cz after i updated to android 11 this june...the wifi speed on my phone has decreased drastically...... nd it was a normal update ..... not something i forced....i've resetted my phone almost 10 tmes now but nothing worked......all the other devices connected to my router work at the max bandwidth except for this one. So i plan on fastbooting my phone with the previous android 10 version which was on my device before android 11...... does anybody think that it might fix the issue?
After binding the phone to your Mi account, using the Mi Unlock Status, put the phone into fastboot and connect to the PC.
Login to the Mi Unlock Tool on the PC and try to unlock the phone. If your lucky it might unlock straight away. If not it will tell you how long you need to wait. (Used to be 7 days)
If you need to wait, disconnect the phone and continue to use it as normal.
Once the wait period has expired, put the phone into fastboot and connect to the PC.
Login to the Mi Unlock Tool and try the unlock process again. This time it should work.
Do not do the Mi Unlock Status process again. It restarts the timer.

One more thing to know, if you haven't got that far.
There used to be a bug with the Mi Unlock Status process and I don't know if it's fixed.
If your Mi account never had your phone number linked to it, the Mi Unlock Status process would create a new account, using your phone number from the SIM card and with the password of your original Mi account, instead of updating the original Mi account with the phone number.
When using the Mi Unlock Tool, logging in with your email or Mi ID, if it says the phone isn't linked to your account, use your phone number to login to the tool instead.
Hello, in need of some help.
I am having a great deal of difficulty in unlocking the bootloader on my Xiaomi redmi 9. I've completed all of the steps that Xiaomi ask customers to do and that any expert I've seen on YouTube doing. But after two weeks I still can't even get to the dreaded wait two weeks to unlock stage, if I could then I'd be a happy man!
I've got developer options sorted, turned on oem and debugging, linked my account to the mi unlock in developer settings, device found and on. Also updated drivers on my windows 10 laptop, signed in to my account on the mi unlock program, set phone in fastboot and then the unlock program verifies my device, but at 100% it keeps on giving me the same response ( please add your account in miui's settings-developer options-mi unlock status) which is crazy because I've completed all of the required steps and then some more steps to try and get past this can't unlock message. Also tried older versions of the unlock tool, but no luck.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated, or a direction to go in to help me unlock the phone. I've contacted mi customer service for help, but they keep sending me the steps that I should follow to get unlock status and I've tried this a thousand times!
Bootloader unlocking guid/ Binding Account
First signout mi account,
Then reboot phone,
Then open developer option and click on
mi unlocked status
Then add your account here,
Now it's successfully binded
Then rest of the process do with laptop or computer
Hi, thanks for responding. I've just tried that and unfortunately it's the same outcome, 'couldn't unlock'
are you using Redmi 9 with NFC version ?
Hello, yes it has NFC, I've just checked

yes its version problem, there was a lot of people reporting can't unlock bootloader for redmi 9 NFC version
for more detail maybe you can check post in this here with title 'Redmi 9 Root'
Thanks for the help. So I've bought a phone to root and it looks like I've bought the only one in the world that you can't even unlock the bootloader on ??*. I wondered why I couldn't find any more information. The phone is still under a month old, I might see if I can return it, ffs!
same here was happy about the price 101€ only but now i will return it too... i don´t want to have a phone without root

I had the same problem as you described.
Today, I did log off my MUI account from the phone settings and logged in again.
I started "mi unlock status" under development settings and added my phone.
Booted into fastmode and started the mi unlock program and got the message "please wait 168 hours ..."
In the past, I did always receive the message "add your account in mi unlock status"
I'm not sure, what did the trick:
logoff and login or just had to wait, that xiaomi fixed their unlock process.
Hopefully, I will get the phone unlocked in a week.
*fingers crossed*
I received information from the technical support that only one phone number must be active on the smartphone, the one assigned to the account. Secondly, if it still does not work, try several times until it shows the time to unlock.
It worked for me.
successfull unlock

Hello, thanks for your info on the 168 hrs wait. I went back on and tried again and got the 168 hrs wait too. I messed it up the first week and must have signed out, so I had to wait another week. Anyway unlocked now, but I'm having just as much of a problem trying to flash twrp to my phone. In command prompt every downloaded file I've tried and used won't recognise the prompts, can't get past the prompt fastboot devices or ADB devices! So can't find my phone to enable flashing twrp across and in turn I can't root my phone! It's driving me nuts.
Usb debugging on
Ptp selected
Windows drivers find my phone
But still having problems when trying to use command prompt in platform tools ?
lock
How can I lock it again ?
i have waited 168 hrs now its telling to wait 168 hr again...what can i do
the answer is,you have to wait,or contact xiaomi,lol.
