Hey -
So I got my redmi 4 prime today, and I want to unlock the bootloader. (I have made sure it is indeed locked with the "fastboot oem device-info")
While trying the official method, I got the 50% error "Can't verify device". I tried everything suggested to
fix it - Made sure my "OEM unlock", "USB Debugging" are enabled, added my device and account under "MI Unlock Status", that fastboot and adb recognize the device,
tried disabling driver signatures, logging into my account using account id... nothing helped.
Then I tried flashing the chinese developer rom. Using the "Updater" app, I got an error saying "Can't verify update - You're allowed to flash the newest develop version published by MIUI forum from stable version only".
Now, according to the settings menu, I DO run the stable version - I run Miui global stable 8.2.4.0. I tried flashing the chinese stable version, but got a similar error.
I tried flashing using Mi Flash and fastboot mode, but I get some "Flash tz error" message. I tried using MiFlash and edl mode, but it seems that edl has been disabled - Trying to enter into it simply reboots the phone.
My recovery is also very stripped down - It has no update/wipe options, but only some hardware tests, device info, and the option to boot back into sideload/fastboot/normal.
Using sideload doesn't seem to work as well - no matter what I try to install, I get an "failed to read command" error.
I'm really running out of ideas, and I wan't to get this phone running and start using it daily with some non-MIUI rom.
Thank you for your help
As for me I had kinda the same issue that I couldn't get past 50% so what I did was Delete my Device from my Mi account and did a factory reset then after the factory reset you'll be asked to sign in with your Google,Xiaomi account DO NOT sign in with any account, don't even connect to the wifi,just boot up the phone straight without any Google,Xiaomi account, then in the settings activate your wifi,find the bootloader unlocking thingy which will tell you sign in with your Mi Account, sign in,reboot your phone after signing in then unlock your phone and you're done.

This 50% stuck, i think 99% of Xiaomi users who try to unlock bootloader for the first time always experience this, i'm the same as you before, i try everything as i'm desperate to unlock the bootloader, you try this first..

Try doing this and let me know if this works:
1. Factory reset the phone
2. Don't set up the Wireless network and Mi Account on first boot
3. After initial setup turn on Developer options, then turn on USB debugging and OEM unlocking
4. Reboot the phone
5. Set up the wireless network
6. Go to Developer options > Mi Unlock status and click on Add account and device then set up Mi Account using account Id (accept every pop-up)
7. Reboot into fastboot and try to unlock your phone

If this didn't work for you, sadly you just have to wait to try again next week. It worked for me, i didn't do any attempt to unlock the bootloader, then suddenly after a week i did this and now my bootloader is unlocked. Just be patient.
My brother is facing issues unlocking his Redmi 4 Prime (miui 10.2).
The Mi account is associated with his device and he completed the request to unlock the bootloader about a year ago.
On Windows drivers are installed and abd correctly detects the device.
The Mi unlock process is stuck at 50%, the software doensn't show a real error message, it just shows "Couldn't unlock", so I attach the log
Thanks in advance for any help
Currently have a Redmi Note 7 I'm trying to unlock the bootloader of.
I have a Mi account since 2017 when I initially unlocked the bootloader of my older Redmi Note 4, went without any issues.
Developer options on, USB debugging on, OEM unlocking on. Associated device with Mi account from the very same option in Developer Options, with Wifi turned off and my SIM card in place.
Mi unlock tool returning the error that my device is not associated with my Mi account at all.
Any ideas appreciated
Regarding rooting Redmi 3s (ERROR CODE:-1)
Hello,
I'm trying to root the device, tried kingroot, kingoroot, nothing worked, afterwards i tried unlocking the boot loader, enabled the developer option, OEM & Usb debugging enabled, and then i tried adding the account to device in Mi unlock status, it shows ERROR CODE:-1, tried signing out from the mi account and signed in again, still same error.
I tried connecting the mobile to pc and using the mi unlock tool, that also didn't work. It shows " Device basic data varification failed. This device couldn't be unlocked."
Even tried resetting the phone still same error code 1 is appearing.
There is no other devices connected to my mi account. Find device feature is working fine.
Kindly requesting you to provide solutions or suggestions
Thank you.
The SIM card that was used for verification should be present in the device while attempting unlocking.
Now im stuck in fastboot and whenever i try to boot my phone it opens recovery and says "This MIUI can't be installed on this device".
Also i tried mi unlock but it stops at 99% and says i need to access developer options and link my account which i cant since i dont have access to the phone...
I'm in a very ****ty situation so any help would be appreciated.
Also, did i completely brick my phone?
