Hi guys, I’m actually facing a little trouble around here, im trying unlock the bootloader of my redmi note 7 pro. But the latest xiaomi unlock tool doesn’t recognize it, is there something to do with port. Im using windows for this, the laptop detects the mobile but the xiaomi application won’t. Any suggestion or have anyone faced similar issue with any other xiaomi device.
As far as I know Xiaomi stopped letting unlock the bootloader even for older devices, so you’re out of luck I’m afraid.
I think they might not have stopped completely, but it seems they let very few devices to unlock like 10 per day. But if that’s the case, then they give no choice but to show a freshly roll out middle finger.
Well, they already made it very hard. Their account requires a phone number. You have to use their community app to appeal for an unlock request, and it only works at a certain time on a day. If it didn’t work at the first try, you have to wait for 10 days (this part could be different, 7 or 14 don’t exactly remember). Also. it never works at your first try anyway. They limited the unlock count per account, 3 per year, then they dropped it to 1 per year. Last time I heard it was impossible to unlock older devices because they shut down their server. So the very restricted version of unlocking appeal only works for HyperOS versions I think, so if you have MIUI it’s not possible anymore.
Oh damn, haha i lost the tiny bit of positivity in me.
Sorry about this. It happened to me with a Huawei phone in the past. I wanted to unlock its bootloader but their server was shut down and it was not possible anymore. Since that day, the first thing I do with a phone is unlocking its bootloader even though there isn’t a ROM to install yet.
Thats a good thing, it seems u got used to it.
Well, you can say that is an experience.
By the way, this won’t help for your current case but I suggest to track this page for your possible future phones. I know I never gonna buy Xiaomi again.
