Is there any unofficial way to unlock bootloader in Redmi 3S Prime?

I am trying to unlock the bootloader in my Redmi 3S Prime but sadly it is stuck at 50% . Is there any unofficial way like Redmi Note 3 to unlock the bootloader?

How many days have you had to wait after getting the permission to unlock ?

In my case it took only 48 hours from the moment I asked for the permission until the moment I received the confirmation SMS. And I unlocked the bootloader successfully with the Global 7.5 Stable ROM, as opposed to reports that claim only the Chinese ROM can be used.

I was able to unlock on global beta rom. But you'll probably have to wait 7-10 days after getting permission to unlock

Hi, sorry if in wrong thread. I bought 3s prime for my son's Xmas present and wondering whether I will eventually receive an ota. Current miui version is Global 7.3 stable 7.3 .10.0.0 (MALCNDE ). I know some have 7.5 but mine says no updates available. Will I have to flash something different to enable ota or will I just receive it in good time ? Thanks

mine always stuck at 50%
in redmi note 3 i tried with all 4 roms, used another account but still says cant veriry device
same with redmi 3s

I requested for unlock with the reason "My phone is dead I need to rescue it" and approved after 2 days

any device related details like imei number or model number is required to be submitted in written request ?

I still cannot unlock even though it approved 10+ days ago even I turned on developer mode and OEM unlock. What I did is flash my Global Stable ROM to Global Developer ROM (this is not the key point, I think the key point is I formatted it) and I succeed to unlock it.

After getting permission, you cannot unlock your bootloader immediately. You have to wait a bit, say, 1 week before you can unlock.

Are you logged in with that account on your phone? Is backup phone turned on? Is find device turned on? (Tinker with the settings of the miui account. I got permission after 3 days of submitting a request and immediately unlocked the bootloader)

Nope. So I got the phone. Created the miui profile, saw the Chinese apps and decided to find a way to get ride of them. Found out 2 days later that I need to unlock, applied for unlocking. 3 days later got permission. 2h later unlocked via unlocking tool. This was 8 months ago
Now I've noticed that you need to enable oem unlocking in the dev options, before going into fastboot to unlock
But one more thing comes, that I did and that's fully entering all the info on my profile (security questions etc)
And yes my miui account is bound to this​ phone, when I install miui it doesn't even ask for a account just a password

Finally unlocked it today.

Did anything special? And how much days it take?? And u were trying daily?

Have been reading a lot about this and have tried every method explained. My conclusion is, it's based on luck. XIOMI screwed the b/l unlocking method like many things and you need to be lucky to smoothly unlock it.
I assume you have already followed every single rule like waiting for some days before trying and connecting the phone and unlocking tool with same account, disabling lock screens or that find device thing they say and many others with no luck.
I believe since redmi 3s is a dual sim so if you are using another simcard your best bet is to try making a new account with that number and try the whole process again. About waiting... well, many have been waiting for months, so don't much from waiting and retrying luck.
Hopefully we will get some unofficial unblocking method someday, like note 3 has.

Please tell how you were able to unlock. Were you on global stable? Which trick worked for you?

I have a Special Edition (pro prime 152mm) with the Special Edition Dev ROM.
I got the unlock approval 8 days ago, I can locate my device using MI account but the binding doesn't work. (Settings>Additional settings>Developer Options>Mi Unlock Status>Add account and device) Please retry within 1 or 2 minutes again and again and again...
I tried the tool in version 1.0.1225.2, 1.1.03171.1 and last 2.2.406.5.
Still no binding possible.

I have got my permission 1 day before
it is still not unlocking
what to do now??

Enable Dev settings by clicking 5 times onto MIUI Version number in settings then go in other settings > des settings > lock status and try to bind

1 day before? Then wait a week before trying to bind device and unlock your bootloader.

My BL is not unlocking as the account is not binding in the dev setting>unlock status and therefore unlocking stops at 99%.
If anyone facing the error 86012 had later unlocked their BL later, please tell us clearly what did you do. "I just need to know that is there someone who had unlocked without binding their account."

Lets talk about xiomi f***ing unlocking bl methods!

Hey! Whats up bros! I am dRb & I successfully unlocked BL today. Before going to trick I should say some myths about unlocking BL. There are tons of YouTube as well as xda xiomi forum BL Unlocking methods posted by our beloved Developers .
I got permission just 4 days after submitting an application. Tried after two weeks but failed - Phone Can Not be verified blah bhah.... After four days I successfully unlocked BL.
Nothing you have to do just try after some days after getting permission. Make sure ENABLE DEVELOPER OPTION, OEM UNLOCKING, no need to bind your device with account, if you do, everytime you will get Chinese Sh!t Error, even fly vpn can do nothing!!! no need to flash developer ROM
Hope You understand. Try with latest unlocking tool

Yeah, for real, I completely flipped when Xiaomi put a bootloader wait period on one of my devices. I caused as much a fuss as I could, emailed Xiaomi's support in several regions and researched extensively.
There's literally nothing you can do. Xiaomi has complete control over bootloader unlock authorization. As far as I'm aware there's no exploits and even staff at Xiaomi can't/won't override it.
Rest assured when that timer hits 0 you're good to go. Though for now, use the device as normal or switch it off and place it in a drawer for a couple of weeks if it bugs you too much. Just whatever you do, don't reflash it or attempt to change the account on the device; the timer will reset.
Once it's unlocked, avoid relocking it. There's no advantage to relocking the device when flashing images, it won't do a thing.
If you use MiFlash tool, it's worthwhile deleting the scripts suffixed with "lock" in the update folder when doing a fastboot flash from a PC (flash_all_lock.bat and flash_all_lock.sh, you don't want to go near flash_factory.sh/bat either - I'm confused as to why Xiaomi even includes that file in their update zips).
Always use flash_all.bat / flash_all.sh. Bonus tip: edit both files with notepad and remove the line which restarts the device (fastboot reboot is the line if I remember correctly). This way you can skip booting into MIUI and immediately push a custom recovery using fastboot boot C:/path/recovery.img (or fastboot flash recovery recovery.img, boot is temporary).
Ps. Be sure to overwrite that "device unlocked" boot image if you're feeling meticulous.

actually you can bypass it but the solution is not free and very xpensive

My friend has redmi note 5 and for unlock waiting I read somewhere that if you use some old version of Mi tool it would skip the waiting and it did. Is there similar solution for redmi note 7?

You're probably referring to this: https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/comments/8kf0ln/fyi_xiaomi_disabled_waiting_time_of_360_hrs/
Haven't tried it, but sounds like it only works for specific devices.

Hello!
Maybe some do not know, but you can have Xiaomi applications (recording conversations and all the rest) without rooting the device (Magisk).
All you need to do is unlock the bootloader and use the Fastboot (MiFlash) method to install the MIUI 12 Indonesian versions. That'S all. We have now a stock system with Xiaomi apps )

(my phone is in Italioan my english translation might difer).
But if I click unlock and the phone is logged on mi account, does give the warning. If Mi account is disconnected, it comes with a menu to connect to Mi account. WTF so sh*t coinfusing.
Anfd now it says pleasew unlock after 168 hours.
