Can't unlock bootloader - Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers

I have tried over and over again to unlock the bootloader.
I've signed into my Mi Account, the same on both my PC (Mi Unlock Tool) and phone.
I installed the Xiaomi driver.
I click unlock, and then it gets to 99% before saying Unknown error (-1)
I've tried on two PCs, one AMD Ryzen 2nd gen, one Intel Core 6th gen.
After trying on the Intel PC, the phone is no longer detected by the Mi Unlock Tool, on both PCs
I really need help with this

What version? Try to another.

Try to 2.3.XXX
Check if your phone(fastboot mode) is detected in device manager as well.

Whenever I connect my phone while MiFlash is open, the phone instantly exists the bootloader, but stays on the bootloader if I reconnect it.
Edit: I also tried MiFlash 2.3.803.10, but my phone is not detected there either.

IT FINALLY WORKED when I disabled device signature enforcement on Windows.
Thanks for the help guys.
EDIT: IT DIDN'T BLOODY WORK. The unlock tool said successfully unlocked. When I check on the phone and through typing 'fastboot oem device info'
it said the phone was not unlocked.
EDIT #2: All of a sudden it just worked on my Intel PC with the newest version of Mi Unock

nexus 6 marshmallow root using mac osX - error message! - device is currupt -

nexus 6 marshmallow root using mac osX - error message! - device is currupt -
wanting better optimization for my Nexus 6 with marshmallow build MRA58R, i started the process of unlocking BL and going for root access following this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/how-to-nexus-6-one-beginners-guide-t2948481
right in the beginning already im stuck. i unlocked bootloader fine, had toggled on in the device, checked through terminal. everything fine. started root process and as soon as i ran CF-Auto-Root it started its thing and rather pretty quickly a new screen came up reading in red letters "Device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and may not work properly." for maybe one second before shutting off. i can briefly get it to power up, only to get that same screen. a couple times i did have it back in bootloader mode through ADB from the terminal. but nothing since. the few times i did get bootloader up i tried a recovery process from the site referred by the error screen itself here: https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/6185381?p=verified_boot&rd=1
but when i ran fastboot oem unlock it now says it cannot find device and tells me to go into device and change OEM setting in developer tools. kind of tough when it wont boot up. i sure would love a solution to this one, id appreciate any help..
added: on the device in bootloader mode it reads USB connected but on the laptop will not recognize any connected devices?

I am no expert, but it seems like you are having the exact same problem that this person had. It seems that the guide will not work on 6.0, but luckily, he seems to have found a solution.

Question Problems flashing via adb/fastboot

So I'm trying to flash to Funtouch OS, I also installed the VIVO drivers, SDK drivers are also up to date. However, adb doesn't recognize the phone when in Fastboot. I guess it's a problem with the drivers but I can't get behind it.

In fastboot mode you need to use fastboot commands like "fastboot devices"
By the way there is an tool called "aft tool" to flash firmwares. Perhaps you can install Funtouch OS with this tool!

Looks like there are only a few phones this works on sadly not anything you've done. Some genius will eventually work it out no doubt
Hi,
did you try it directly via the AFT Flash tool?
Here you can find it: https://www.ytechb.com/vivo-flash-tool/
And there are also USB and flash Drivers....
No, I didn´t try this - will do it today - thank you very much!
With AFT Tool I get an Virus warning: Trojan:Win32/Tiggre!plock - so I can't try it.
Hi. Any update on this?

If you linked your Mi account previously, then Mi Flash unlock tool has to work, if not, then, no way.
You can use SPFT at any time, no matter your device is locked or not, also you have this tool, be sure to properly install all the drivers needed, https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient

Its doesn't matter for official tolls if its locked or not. Official tolls work with locked adn unlocked bootloaders.
You mentioned that you have "selenes" Redmi Note 11 4G which seems to be a china model. if its MTK device than SP flast tool is fine or else stuck to MI Flash only and check with the fastboot files.
Check the link as per the device mentioned -
Xiaomi Firmware Updater
The ultimate script that provides firmware packages for Xiaomi devices.
xiaomifirmwareupdater.com
You will need to extract the files using 7 ZIP till you get the image folders and try to flash it
If stuck share screen shots of the error message and make sure proper drivers are installed
If device won't enable change mode or ADB
Remove the back cover and disconnect the battery and reconnect it

My fastboot looks different, and I'm having problem connecting to PC to unlock the bootloader, I've tried so many drivers

I have the same problem
Are you on MIUI 13? My friend also has a problem with Mi Unlock detecting his phone after upgrading to MIUI 13. It seems like this is a soft lock. Try installing MIUI 12.5 if Xiaomi hasn't implemented an anti-rollback feature back to MediaTek.
I'm on MI 12.5
Have you tried the mt6768 USB drivers? They worked for me. But, I no longer have the driver installer. I got them from my friend with the SP Flash Tool.

Seems like the guy meant the fastboot before the 12.5 update with the bunny. And it seems like he just missed some drivers.

This is what I have. I don't use xiaomi phone, so I'm not sure. This is the old phone of my father, I just bored and want to play around with it.
And yes, I had issue with driver too.

I use official unlock tool.
But I follow this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/resolved-mi-unlock-tool-cannot-detect-phone.3663139/post-73566526
The driver installation was quite tricky. I could never install it if that guy didn't post complete steps to follow.
