How do I unlock the bootloader of a mi9 t pro/k20 pro - Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe

Hello there fellow android enthusiasts.
There's this device that I've owned ever since last September and I'm loving my mi 9t pro
But I'm running into some troubles. I would like to unlock the bootloader of this device but it's been hell of an impossible thing to achieve.
Ever since the first week when I bought it I tried to unlock it but the mi unlock apo throws some random message in Chinese which I unfortunately cannot seem to read or understand or whatever.
I gave up a while ago because I thought sure it's a new phone and I just need to give it some time and it'll be good to go
But here I am again now after all of those months and I still can't seem to unlock this thing..
Yes my account has been bound and tied to this phone ever since day 1 of the purchase and had a mobile number set to it. Everything the usb debugging OEM unlocked mi account status association and whatnot is set up
I put my phone into the fastboot mode plug into my laptop launch the mi unlock tool and get this error at 99% can someone please help me or translate this for me

By the way the mi unlock page isn't working either. As soon as I click on the blue unlock now button it redirects me to the miui Chinese community.
What do I do.

For some reason BBCode isn't working so here take a look in this link

I remember other users reporting the same problem in the early days of this phone. I'm sure I remember someone also posted a translation of the error message and how to fix it. Unfortunately I can't remember any details, but you could have a hunt for threads from around June/July last year.
All I can give is general advice.
Make sure you use the latest unlock tool found here
https://c.mi.com/thread-2262302-1-0.html
If that falls try some of the older versions found in the same page above.
Make sure all the USB drivers are properly installed on the PC.
Try using a different, good quality USB cable.
Try using a different USB port on the PC.
If possible try unlocking on a different PC.
Create a new Mi account and try using the new account to unlock.

You can follow my guide here.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/k20-pro/how-to/simple-beginners-guide-to-raphaelin-t4020543
with everyone having unlocked their bootloader already. I've been anxious to know if my bootloader unlocking guide is super newb friendly as intended.
If you face any problems, you can contact me on telegram with username @ Sandeep or tag me with the same username in the k20p chat.
A user known as Mohit unlocked his device 4 times. Using different methods.
He claims the newer versions of mi-unlock tool don't work, and someone pointed out I haven't added the adb 15sec installer in my guide (I'll look into this later.)
For now, if you have telegram, join the official telegram channel @ redmik20proglobalofficial to get quick help.

14 days for an unlock code?

trying to get an unlock bootloader code for my mate S .... keep gettiing "The Huawei ID used to apply for the unlock code has not been used on the device for more than 14 days."
do i really have to wait 2 weeks before i can root my phone?
hey,
i did not have to wait at all.
i followed a guide posted in a german forum where they point out going here first:
http://emui.huawei.com/en/plugin.php?id=hwdownload&mod=list
on the top right you can see "download", click that.
you should see an "unlock bootloader" link. check the pic below to see what i mean:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
on the following page check the "remember ID" box and click the facebook button leaving everything else empty (you need a facebook account to log on at the following site of course). see the pic!
you should then see an "unlocking agreement". accept it and then enter the data as required in this pic.
upon entering my data there i instantly had the bootloader unlock code on my screen.
try it out, hope it works for you!
greetz,
vercetti.
thanks for the reply, but i still get the same message....."The Huawei ID used to apply for the unlock code has not been used on the device for more than 14 days.".....guess ill have to wait a couple of weeks....
unlocking bootloader
I am as well unable to get the unlocked code, kept saying the same message. Do you really have to wait 14 days? Did you get any luck, I see the other post about DC-Unlocker, don't know how to go about it. I had my phone for quite awhile just haven't happen to unlock it yet, however it is already SIM unlocked, just not the bootloader.
***update
So i went ahead and used DC-unlocker; paid the $4.59 for it and was able to get the code and unlocked the bootloader and was able to install a custom recovery, I couldn't wait/stand for Huawei website, it was frustrating me, so buggy and unresponsive.
After all that just search google, "root mate s TWRP recovery", a lot of helpful content out there, that'll explain how.
By the way, I have the model CRR-L00, it was already network unlocked when i bought it and came with google play already installed.
TWRP recovery i used - twrp-2.8.7.0-carrera.img (searched it on google)
root i used- BETA-SuperSU-v2.68-20160228150503
A complete guide would be here, very straightforward: http://www.android.gs/root-install-twrp-recovery-huawei-mate-s/ It states that it was done on a crr-l09, I've tested on mines it works as well.

Yes I have tried this, all user ids and passwords were incorrect except first one but the credit was not sufficient to get bootloader code.
I'll buy credits.. But I need to ask if this will work for Honor Play on Android Pie or not?
Dont try its wount work

You tried it or just trolling?
Just list of stolen usernames and password, so you will be stealing random users credits.
I bought credit from dc unlocker. Xda is not the place for troll broh. I have even tried to test loint method to bypass. So u know..
I know that dc unlocker is useful tool and i have used it many times my self and probably will use in future too. As a paying customer i don't like to see list of usernames and passwords included on that zip file because someday there might be your or mine usernames and passwords on that list.
So I downloaded it and bought an account just to try it, and installed the required drivers, got the following:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Which I'm inclined to believe means it's not supported yet. Any ideas? Maybe I must've done something wrongly.
EDIT:
Just received an email from support confirming this:
"
DC-Unlocker Support <[email protected]> (sent by [email protected])
4:31 PM (11 minutes ago)
to me
Hello, refund now completed since your mobiles android and security version are not compatible for services.
"
So there you go, I think it might work for other devices but not this one right now
Ok, close thread if needed.
I didn't realise that this included stolen credentials.
Thanks all for feedback.

Question Please help me, device stuck in EDL

Hello I have run into a big problem, I unlocked bootloader and tried to flash xiaomi.eu it failed and now my device is in the EDL mode I cant exit it and when I try to flash ROM stock China in MiFlash the following error always appears: "write time out" Please, do you have any solution for this?
i have unbrick , but i can't to free . sorry
I have locked my phone once in edl mode , even took it in to service for repear and they were unable to fix it. Even took it in 2 reapir shops. But luckily I did more google and found solution, even I did try it for 3 days before I decided to take it to repair.
There is a special xiaomi ulnocking tool that just unlock edl and unbrick phone. It helped me so try to find this tool , I have no link and dont know where did I managed to find it and download it.
It is a different than official unlocking bootloader tool.
Sounds like the issue I have.

Even though I'm not even sure if mine is in EDL mode.
The one and only "life sign" I get is an unknown driver in Windows that pops up, when I USB connect it to my PC.
I tried at least 10 different drivers without success so far.
You won't be able to recover from this state. Your only hope is to disassemble the phone, unscrew the mainboard cover and do a testpoints method to open EDL port. Then flash china rom using MiFlash. Unfortunately that needs an authorized account.
thanks @Accidd
Does anyone know where the test points of the Mi 11 are?
This is how far I got right now

Soft-Bricked A71, need help.

So, I rooted my hand-me-down Samsung A71, and enjoyed learning about the process and experiencing it. Now, here's the problem. I soon found out that it is just not worth it to root this obscure (*Ahem*) phone, and uninstalled Magisk through the Magisk manager. I checked that the phone had indeed unrooted, and then tried to lock the bootloader. I forgot to flash the stock firmware. And now I have a phone boot looping into recovery mode, and just not allowing me to access the OS. When I try to flash stock firmware through Odin, it freezes. ****.
I screwed up. Help. This thing is very dear to me.
I checked for ways to force-flash, and found EDL and QPST. But this method requires the damn firehose/.mbn firmware file for my A175F A71, which I just can't seem to find.
Should I contact Samsung to generously provide me the firmware, or what? Any suggestions highly appreciated.
P.S: Will soon attach a video of it.

maybe try unlocking the bootloader again, it worked for my a30s

I can't, and that is precisely the problem. When starting the device, it straight away takes it to recovery mode, and tries to lock the bootloader continously, but just can't because of the firmware. It doesn't let me do anything.

I managed to unbrick my A71! The above attachment is of it. I was such an idiot. Even in such a circumstance, you can go into download mode, and unlock the bootloader. I did so, set up my A71, and enabled Usb Debug and straight away flashed stock firmware, and THEN locked the bootloader. Damn was I scared. Thanks for your help, Ahmed.
