hello,
first of all i recommend the advanced users to try this method first to see if they succeeds or not if they then, cheers for the new unofficial bootloader unlocking method. here i will provide steps to do:-
Things you need:
- fastboot rom MiUi 8 8.2 will work
-the modified bootloader file
-helpful quick answers
ok so here we begin
PREREQUISITE
-adb and fastboot setup already on your pc
-usb debugging and oem unlocking must be enabled(from developer options)
-mi flash tool ~>Get older version from here (use 20160401)
-driver signature off
step 1
Enable USB debugging and connect device to pc,
now open fastboot and adb folder and there open cmd and type
Code:
adb devices
step 2
you can recognize the device connected to pc
now reboot device to edl mode
Code:
boot to edl by button combination or fastboot command
you can see your phone is in edl(emergancy download mode)
step 3
extract the fastboot file, and goto extracted_folder/images
there you can find a file named emmc_appsboot.mbn
replace with the downloaded emmc file(from begining of post)
step 4
open mi flash tool and connect phone via usb and click on refresh you can seee a COM port with a number on display,
now browse and load the fastboot rom.
step 5
(in this step i'll be specific as same as redmi note 3 bootloader unlocking method is)
click on advanced and there
and choose these
Browse to flash_all.bat in Fastboot rom folder at First option ,
Third option to prog_emmc_firehose_8976_ddr.mbn ,
then last two options browse to rawprogram0.xml and patch0.xml
step 6
after selecting files in advanced ,go back and click on refresh
step 7
now flash the fastboot file as soon flashing completes remove cable and keep holding fastoot combination keys
now you are booted into fastboot
step 8
the fun part(i guess)
goto adb and fastboot folder and open cmd there'
and type
Code:
fastboot devices
to check if device detected or not
now type
Code:
fastboot oem unlock-go
now it should show
Code:
...
OKAY FINISHED
like this
step 9
now if you succeeded step 8 completely
i'd suggest you to check if bootloader is unlocked or not
type
Code:
fastboot oem device-info
if that shows as
Code:
<bootloader> Device Unlocked:true
then Congratulations.. you successfully unlocked bootloader without permission from xiaomi
now for the people who are trying do please inform if this method worked or not
(will be helpful to me for re edit post with ease steps)
credits to my whatsapp friend who given me required files lol :highfive:
AGAIN please do reply, if this method works or not if worked then cheers :victory:
This is the second time I see this Note 3 unlocking stuff posted here...
Since when adb reboot edl works for MI Max? I'll tell you... since never...
Have you tried this procedure yourself? I bet you haven't...
So don't post something so risky without confirming it working personally, please...
I will strongly advice everyone even considering this!!!

Mi Max has Edl Mode but it cannot be booted by adb reboot edl, edl in mi max can only be booted by combination of buttons.

Btw, i wanted to ask has anyone tested this method yet, ?
The method is much too dangerous to test, the modified bootloader file depends on android version and may brick your phone - read more in RN3 thread.
You should not have even posted such a method without personally testing it - we, as in users, are not guinea pigs.
step 5
(in this step i'll be specific as same as redmi note 3 bootloader unlocking method is)

Xiaomi MiFlash has no "Advanced" button, you are not even linking to the program you are advising to use.
Please remove this post and either do the procedure yourself first or do not post such pos here as nobody could even complete the procedure.

Actually Mi flash tool has the option for advanced .. if you had the older version .. till now i havent updated to latest version yet, also if you may read above post i told that i currently dont have my max now, and i aint gonna get it in next 1 or 2 years, my brother took it and now he is at his hostel...
I ll link the old miflash tool, and the dangereous thing is only one soft brick(stuck at logo) and bootloop, I have experienced some that bootloaders doesnt vary device by device...
So probability is to get a stuck on logo or get a bootloop its simple that you just load the original fastboot firmware and flash, that reverts back to normal state, for now,
I'm just trying to help, if people dont like it then I will defineatly leave.

I didnt took all things from rn3 bl unlocking page, i just took method of flashing. And the bootloader file thats taken from officially unlocked bootloade, and i just told if previous post i dont hav max right now, so i wish if someone tried this and if he succeeds.. then its very good news for all locked bl users..
But i think none is not even trying
Definititely some procedures must be changed and adapted to mi max. Experimented developers has portion of truth but some users can`t get answer to unlock devices and me personally if my bootloader was locked don`t want have a device wich can`t be real owner.
Opennig file emmc... remember that an old trick from kitkat to unlock with sucess my old xperia z. some looks be based on the principle to replace original values in the clusters just for zeros. I uploaded two orginal and unlocker emmc files to consider this but of course I can`t confirm cause my bootloader is unlocked.
Some ideas aloud.
There are differences between locked and the official unlocked bootloader (please, see in the hex-editor the end of both files). It's a right idea for replace the locked bootloader (emmc_aboot) to official unlocked emmc_appsboot. The official unlocked emmc_appsboot we can get by dump of the partition in official unlocked device and this binary file will be have the .img extension (uncompressed binary file).
For checking we should check two binary files in the hex-editor: emmc_appsboot.mbn from ROM for fastboot flash and modified bootloader file from author. But files with .mbn extension should be uncompressed.
Sorry, but I don't know as uncompress the .mbn file.

Yeah i checked in hex, i guess its the some kinda lock codes with it so they got removed(i m noob in hex ' )
As far as .. result will be known by practically
Maybe developers can make something similar to safestrap, it was a great project based on bootstrap (now abandoned) that works with a modified recovery that allows install almost any rom on bootloader unlocked (and unlockable cause company never want to unlock it at least till the time I used) on my old galaxy note 3 at&t. This app created a second slot and more directly to install roms.
[U][B]Please, Somone who can revive their device from bootloop[/B][/U]
I thought someone will try it
This is far too risky to try
Sent from my Xiaomi MI MAX using XDA Labs
fail
already try this tutorial and ended my device brick no fastboot mode,cant turn on..solution im using testpoint to get my device unbrick...

I will tell you my sad story.
I have a Xiaomi Mi Note 2 and I needed to change the IMEI, I used this article:
I previously used it in another Mi Note 2 (and it worked without problems, full signal, new IMEI) Now I have another Xiaomi Mi Note 2 for changing the IMEI, the difference is that I did a downgrade to the Chinese Developer version "7.6.29_20170629.0000.00_7.0_cn" This caused the phone to recognize no sim card, then I remembered that the tutorial was done doing root in the Global version Stable (flashing twrp via fastboot, then flashing supersu ... bla bla bla ...) And I installed the Global Stable version again "V8.2.6.0.MADMIDL" via fastboot. Then I did the procedure of I changed the phone IMEI successfully, but I am left without signal.
I already tried:
- Restore the original .qcn (I backed it up with QPST before any procedure) ... did not work
- Restore the modemst1 and modemst2 from another phone Xiaomi Mi Note 2 same ... did not work
- Restore a copy of the EFS via TWRP from another Xiaomi Mi Note 2 phone just like ... did not work
- Back to version "7.6.29_20170629.0000.00_7.0_cn" via fastboot and restore the original .qcn ... did not work
I am desperate and do not know what else to do, I tried to put the phone in EDL mode but Mi Note 2 has no EDL mode (I used the EDL cable method, also the fastboot edl method, also using "adb reboot edl")
Any ideas? Any effort will be appreciated. The idea that helps to solve the problem will have a donation of $ 50 that will be delivered via PayPal
Hi,
Few questions first.
Was this done on the CN or Global edition of the phone? i.e do you have all bands unlocked?
Did you use the same version of TWRP on all devices involved when you tried to restore from another phone?
What's the filesize of your QCN backup?
I'm happy to help you get into EDL mode but what are you hoping to achieve with it?
For the record, I'm not fussed on the reward.
If you want to give something afterwards I'm not going to say no but if you still need a hand let me know.
Thread closed.
We do not allow IMEI changing over XDA.
Hello everyone!
my problem is the next: I tried install a rom of MIUI but fail in my device, after, I tried to install differents roms but nothing work, just showed me the logo Leeco and no more, no avance from the logo.
But I still had recovery with TWRP and I thinked I can install official rom 26s, It was my error.
Now follow with the same problem but now I not have recovery mode (show me recovery with logo Leeco but it instantly turns off ) and bootloader is block.
My only hope, is QFIL to recover recovery mode o any rom, Does anyone have it or tell me how to create one?..
Please anybody will can help me, I have this problem 3 days ago.
Sorry for my bad english, I am learning.
PS. I tried with post of tora33 but no work

Are you sure you got Qualcomm drivers installed and your phone is in 9008 mode? Also try rebooting and re-enter 9008 mode. But the biggest problem that there is no qfil restoration files for x722 if I remember correctly, chances to boot with x720 ones are quite low.
Does your fastboot work volume and power down same time??

worked on the phone i got off amazon. thanks!
[quote name="wpbear" post=71566961]This works on lastest USA update Stock (21s).
Have ADB/Fasboot tools on your computer
Make sure you have enabled the developer tools, turned on USB debugging, and authorized your computer on your device
Put emmc_appsboot.mbn from this zip (Download: x727-5.8.019s_bootloader-unlock.zip) in your adb directory on your PC
Put twrp.img from this zip (Download: TWRP) in your adb directory on your PC
On PC open admin CMD prompt
go into fastboot mode on phone (hold power and VOL -)
on PC type:
fastboot devices
fastboot flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn
after flash force reboot using Power button. It will ask for a password, just ignore it and reboot back to fastboot by forcing power down then reboot to fastboot (hold power and VOL -)
on PC type:
fastboot devices
fastboot oem unlock-go
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
boot into twrp (force power down, then hold POWER and VOL +)
TWRP will boot, choose modify system. Choose wipe - then swipe to factory reset, when that is done - then advacned then format data
In TWRP ensure MTP is enabled. In Windows File Explorer the phone should be visibile. Drag and Drop your new ROM.zip, gapps.zip, SU.zip etc...
In TWRP INSTALL new ROM and other zips; choose wipe/dalvik/cache
If you unlock bootloader push power off until it goes off then put it back into fastboot flash twrp .img them power off again power on when phone vibrate volume down you see stock recovery then twrp.
Reboot System.
DONE![/QUOTE]

Yeah, that is the problem, I have the drivers and my computer recognize it, the problem, always show the error sahara.
And flash in fastboot no work because bootloader is block and not let me to do flash of anything.
Someone know how to create a qfil? I am developer and I could try but I not found tutorial how to do and I do not have it clear.

Every so often the same questions and the same answers.
You should read more. The X722 subforum is for something.
There is no qfil for X722, and there are no magic solutions of X720 / X727. This is an X722, it is locked and NOTHING of X720 / X727 is going to fix it.
Read this:

Greetings.
How do people keep ending up with bricks? Guess I'll have to find a mod to contact them about stickying a thread about the x722 here about stock 26s. It's a bad idea. Never update your x722 to stock 26s, because your bootloader will get locked when you try to flash TWRP. The only way to get out of 26s is to flash Batyan's 01D ROM (in the x722 Development section here), and then unlock your bootloader and flash TWRP. Flashing TWRP over stock 26s will cause a permanent brick because there's absolutely no QFIL file available for this device. Even in China.

ZL1 its x720/x727 not x722, it's a fix for ppl thata not work the normal qfil rom.
Long story short,
I tried unofficial unlocking method to try to unlock my bootloader, which resulted in boot loop.
Oem unlock-go gave me remote unlock not allowed error.
Yes, before flashing i did all the steps correctly,
Allow oem unlock : CHECKED
usb Debugging : CHECKED
sign out mi account : CHECKED
DRIVERS correctly installed
After flashing original appsboot file, my device is working good.
Note: Also when my device was in boot loop, miflash could not detect my device, and the device manager was showing Qualcom diagnostic port 9008 or something
So please someone point me to the direction i must take, Do i need to wait for patched appsboot file for this version or something ??
If you install the rom with fastboot (MiFlash)? (Without lock option, only clean)...
I install miui10 and i have unlock bootloader (but i unlock it before official)... Equally i need to reinstall recovery in each reboot haha.
Qualcomm diagnostic? Mmm i use this to use QPST to use MiFlash need other driver...to use MiFlash i use it: Qualcomm HD-USB Qdloader 9008 (or is the same?)
Hi,
recently I hardbricked mi Mi5s. After reading and trying a lot of things, I managed to unbrick it. So, I left this as a guide of things to try in case someone else hardbricks it.
How did I brick it:
I was trying to fix finger sensor by flashing in EDL mode fastboot ROMS, in order to reflash persistent.img . I accidentally flashed a mi5 (gemini) ROM on the mi5s. After that, the PC recognised the device only as "hs-usb qdloader 9008" in the Windows Device Manager, associated with a COM port. (In my pc, it was COM7 or COM8).
How did I unbrick it:
I disabled integer_checks (following the androidbrick guide provided below) and installed new driver for qdloader 9008.
After that, I used miFlashTool (https://www.xiaomiflash.com/download/) and flashed latest global stable fastboot rom (https://en.miui.com/thread-5927598-1-1.html)
Note: if miFlashTool crashes, create a folder in miflash folder, and rename it to "log".
If you don't have a unlocked bootloader, you *must* use the test-point trick. (Use a deep flash cable) .
Links:
Driver that worked: https://www.mediafire.com/file/so0uvkd6nm6ie1m/Driver_x64.cab/file (x64) & https://www.mediafire.com/file/ryjc83s2ku6mmh5/Driver_x86.cab/file (x86)
Although it didn't work for me (i suspect thats becouse i hadn't installed the driver above), guide to use Qualcomm QFIL: https://en.miui.com/thread-432217-1-1.html
Another guide to Qualcomm QFIL: https://www.androidbrick.com/ultima...s-are-unbrickable-qhsusb_dload_qpst_qfil_edl/
If the PC doens't detect the mobile after installing that driver, it means that you're NOT into EDL mode. If you can't enter fastboot or EDL mode, you need a Deep flash cable. You can fabricate yourself one (there are youtube tutorials for that) using a test-point , or you can buy one from Aliexpress: https://es.aliexpress.com/item/PHON...290.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.594263c0eXl7Lh

Thank you for this great guide. Have a good day
is you fingerprint works after edl flashing?
Fastboot is no longer displayed, the screen remains dark. But I hear that the device is recognized. I use a depp flash cable.
MiFlash 20191206
