Hmm, you can't. There's no unofficial methods. More like EDL is patched, so it's only official way to go.

Thank you for your quick response sir!
Xiaomi makes easy works complicated suckssssss
Why don't you just try to unlock straightaway, maybe the permission is for the account (which you did before), not the device. I'm just assuming.
Good luck unlocking.

Bootloader Unlock Discussion

This thread is dedicated for the any and all discussion related to bootloader unlock process and experience on Redmi 6 Pro
Where did you buy the phone from(country!)? Were you able to unlock in the first attempt? If not, what is your waiting time as shown by Mi unlock?
Edit
There is a poll attached too. You won't be able to view it in Tapatalk or Xda app. Use chrome or other browser. Vote only if you have tried to unlock the bootloader and not otherwise, so that we get a clear picture of bootloader unlock times.
Too much wait. I couldn't unlock it yet but I'm waiting cause I need to install Xiaomi.eu ROM
720 hours waiting for unlocking bootloader......?
does it have antirollback?
tried it with 3 of mi miui accounts, first one 720 hors second one same, and 3rd one was instantly so i could unlock it at the same days as it arrived

How old were each of these accounts? Was there anything special about the third account or was it just random luck!

Hii guys
I am tired of unlocking booloader of redmi pro 6. First it showed 720 hrs then after 15 days it showing again 720 hrs with same account. I have created 3 acc. But all showing same.
Can anybody share old xiaomi accont pls that would be a great help for people like me.
I requested it some days ago, I hope I could get it unlock as soon as the 643 hours end because it seems that Xiaomi doesn't want bootloader unlocking.

That is why I am selly my Moto z droid Verizon because I can't unlock the bootloader and if Xiaomi continue with it then their selling is going to fall down.

I'm having some problems unlocking. If I go to the site above and click on "Unlock Now" it takes me to a Chinese site which I can't navigate.
If I use the miflash_unlock.exe I get part of the way through and it says:
Can't unlock. Your account isn't associated with a phone number
I've googled it and some advice is to go to your account, but once again I'm redirected to a Chinese site.
Has anyone got round this?
Thanks
Steve

I translated the Chinese text using Google and it said my details failed validation. The next button was to change my password which I did. I entered my email address and clicked, but never received the password change email.
Looks like the whole process has gone south....
Cheers

Hi all,
Hope this will not steal the thread:
If I get Global device - can I freely unlock then lock the bootlader?
Huge thanks

You certainly have an option to change language on site to English, search at bottom.
Yes I tried that, but it came up with a script error for any language. It seems to be working now though. I had to log into my account and add a recovery phone number. Then turn off wifi and enable mobile data and go into developer options/mi unlock status, add account, receive a text and eventually was asked to wait for 360 days while they harvest my data lol.
I requested an unlock from motorola and they emailed it the next day!
Just 15 days to go....
Thanks
Steve

China or Global is the same, unlocking bootloader will have waiting time.
Locking it is easy, but unlocking it again also still need waiting time.

Can a Global DEV version be installed, by fastboot or internal update, over a Global EEA on a locked bootloader?

I don't know, and that's too risky to try. Unlocking bootloader of Xiaomi devices is so easy, just be patient for waiting time.

Can I assume that I would get L1 widevine support with the global rom?
Hello. If you got a china version and you unlock bootloader to install glogal rom, you cant lock again the bootloader. If you do you will get a brick.
Global version is not affected by this. You can unlock and lock it again has you pleased.
Widevine support is supported by hardware not software. As far as i know Mi9 as L1 support.
