Noob friendly guide for unlocking bootloader of RN4 SD625 Indian Variant - Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion

Hi friends
Today I'm going to help you in unlocking the bootloader officially...
Many of us(including me) had problems in unlocking the bootloader...
It used to get stuck at 50 percent..
I had the same problem....
But here's what I did to unlock my bootloader....
Prerequisites:
1) MIUI 7.2.1 6 global beta ROM
2)mi unlock permissions on your mi account
3)Mi unlock tool
4)adb drivers
And of course RN4
Procedure:
First of all download global beta ROM from
http://en.miui.com/extra.php?mod=rom/download&r=309&mobile=no#468
It's a recovery ROM so flash it using updater app...
It will WIPE all of your internal storage so take a backup beforehand...
After flashing the beta ROM login using the same account where you've got the unlocking permission on your phone...
Now enable developer options and select USB debugging and OEM unlock
Now install the adb drivers on your pc from here
http://xiaomitips.com/download/adb-setup-v1-4-3/
After installing adb drivers download mi unlock tool from here http://en.miui.com/thread-204866-1-1.html
IMPORTANT
Now If you are using Windows 8 and above, disable the driver signature verfication on your PC... Its easy just Google it...
Now enter your RN4 into fastboot mode by pressing volume down and power button after switching off your phone...
Open MI unlock tool and login using the same account that is present on your phone..
NOTE: Dont use usb tethering of your RN4 phone for logging in to the MI unlock tool...it may result in you losing your unlocking permission... I dont know if its a bug or something but it happened twice with me when I used my RN4 for usb tethering...
I may be wrong but its always good to be on the safer side :laugh:
Now MI tool will check if your account has the unlocking permissions....
If it does then it will tell you to connect your phone to pc...
Connect it using USB cable in fastboot mode....
Wait for a few seconds as the drivers will be installing on your pc...
When the drivers are installed A "Connected" message will be displayed...
Now we are good to go...
Just press on unlock option...
Now If you followed all the steps carefully and also if you are lucky,your bootloader will be unlocked...
the process may take upto 10-15 seconds
IF IT STILL DOESNT UNLOCKS,
Switch on your phone and enable find device on your phone....
Go to i.mi.com and login to your MI account
click on find device option...
Enable data connection on your phone...
Now click on your device on find device page....
It will start locating your device...
once it is located properly try to unlock your bootloader again using MI unlock tool...
IF IT STILL DOESNT UNLOCKS,
then try again after 7 days...
because PATIENCE IS BITTER,BUT THE FRUIT IS SWEET!!!
Precautions/Notes:
1) I flashed Global Beta ROM because l was unable to unlock my bootloader on Global Stable version... First try in Global stable again after 4-5 days before flashing a Beta ROM...
2)I unlocked my bootloader on the same day I flashed the Beta ROM....If you are unable to unlock then use the Beta ROM for atleast 2-3 days then try again....
3)You may use older versions of MI unlock tool if the latest tool doesnt unlock your device... I also used an older version of MI unlock tool...
4)Dont forget to disable the driver signature verfication on your pc if you are using Windows 8 and above..
5)Also check if adb drivers are installed properly;to do so connect the phone in fastboot mode,open the command window and type "adb devices" without (" ") this.. if your phone is displayed it means adb drivers are installed properly... usually the phone name will be something like 0147BDD and so on.... it will be a colection of numbers and alphabets... every device has a unique id..
if your phone is not displayed then uninstall and reinstall adb drivers....
Please note that this method has worked for me but MAY or MAY NOT work for you...
P.S. Sorry if the thread is too BIG
I hope that your bootloader will be unlocked after following these steps :good:
ALL THE BEST Fellow MIUIans :good: :laugh:

I'm not sure but I guess you probably will...
Else you can manually update by downloading recovery rom and flashing it.... :laugh:

unlocked without linking the device from developer option. changed sim cards and used only one sim card. maybe it was luck or using the registered sim in slot 1 and as the only sim did the trick.

Help with Yemen OF1 N900V root

I followed the instructions found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...b6-of1-n900v-note-3-verizon-oneclick-t3333569
I downloaded ArabicTools and set my phone to USB Debugging and plugged it into my computer running Windows 7. Once the computer found the phone I clicked on Read Phone Info and it got all the info the application needed. I then clicked Root and waited. It says Device Now Flashing, Please Wait and then nothing happens except more periods being added..............My phone never restarts or anything, it just sits there like nothing is happening. When I plug my phone in it says connected as Installer, and shortly after it says connected as media device, not sure if that matters, but I figured I would give as much info as possible to try and figure out the problem.
I have tried 3 different cords after reading thru comments that maybe the cord could be the issue. Any ideas?
Look on your phone screen for a USB debugging prompt/pop-up window and then it will continue with USB debugging. Make sure you're on 0f1 firmware as well before doing the bootloader unlock.

Yes you can ... if and only if your SM- N900V has a CID beginning with 0x15.
You have to unlock the bootloader to boot anything which is not Samsung-signed; this is true for both recoveries and ROM kernels.
To unlock, you have to be rooted. Read the entire unlock thread before you start in on the unlocking process.

Thanks for the guide (more specifically, thanks for the modified unlock tool). It worked for my Redmi 3 running Miui 8 Beta 6.11.3 (official download).
I never managed to file for permission because that damn site kept crashing or just redirecting me to pages that made no sense. Your post solved that problem for me, so thanks again.
Now I'm off to installing CM.

Strange that Mi Unlock Tool links to a .exe that asks the exact same procedure as Miui (requiring SMS verification).
Why not linking to the original Xiaomi website?
What else does this exe contains?
Anyone else has tested it?

Mi unlock tool is an .exe format, that mean you can only run it in computer. Just download the .exe file and run it as administrator on your computer and you will unlock your bootloader. Of course after you flashed the developer rom on your device.
I tried to do it the way described in the first post, but it doesn't work and just redirects me to miui.com.
THe Unlock Tool doesn't seem to be modified in any way compared to the original one. What am I doing wrong?

No it's not. The OP says it's possible to unlock the bootloader without the confirmation by Xiaomi. And that doesn't work. It wants to verify anyway and doesnt let me unlock the bootloader. Is there anything I'm doing wrong, or is the post just a little bit misleading?

Same here dude. I installed dev adb rom pointed in the link. Went in dev options and selected oem unlock, adb unlock and usb debb, fastboot mode. After opening mi unlock from this link and run it as admin it says that my device isn't supported by mi unlock. After you press go it points to official mi unlock procedure...
Don't waste your time with this tutorial. You still to need to apply for the unlock from Xiaomi. I'm still waiting for mine.

P8 Lite Boot loop

I've been trying almost everything for days. When I turn on the phone the bootloader enters in a loop.
I can't access to recovery (vol up + power), not even in update mode(vol up & vol down + power).
The only thing I can access is the fastboot but my phone is locked and I don't the have the imei to unlock via calculator or the oficial huawei page.
If someone have any suggestions.

If getting your IMEI is your only concern then you can get that from the box... But you'll need Product ID too, and for that you'll need to have your phone booted up...

I downloaded the official ROM from huawei and is the recent version but when I tried to install it with "fastboot update file.zip" is asking for an android-text.txt and I been searching to re-create that file manually and then is asking for another file and so on.
I've been searching if I can install the oficcial ROM by fastboot even if is not unlocked and find this guide but it is not usefull for me 'cause I can't access into the download mode or use adb.
This is the information I could extract from my phone.

Ok i searched for ways to find an IMEI number and found couple of ways...
1) Look under/in the sim tray. It may be there (I didn't check this out)
2) Find the IMEI/MEID using Google Dashboard. This is Google's control center that can be accessed from any computer with a web browser. You will need to log in with the Google account associated with your Android phone.You can access Google Dashboard by visiting www.google.com/settings/dashboard Expand the "Android" section by clicking the "Android" heading.Locate your phone in the list. If you have multiple devices associated with your account, all of the devices will be displayed. Find the device that you are trying to retrieve the IMEI/MEID number for. (This works)
3) At last, you can try to remove the back case and remove the battery. This can help you in 2 ways. Firstly, there should be IMEI code present under the battery. Secondly, this may cause you to get out of bootloop

Try to format data in twrp or stock recovery.
If it does not work flash an android 8.0 or Nougat ROM. Do not lock the bootloader.
Let me guess. From Pie to Oreo or Nougat?

Try to format data in twrp or stock recovery.
If it does not work flash an android 8.0 or Nougat ROM. Do not lock the bootloader.

will give it a read, it it works, I'll PM you and you'll give me your paypal address. Fair is fair.
can't unlock OEM, because I can't boot up to developer tools. great, just great. will try to fix that first.
if you can boot to fastboot try to flash stock pie 10.0.4.0 with miflash, after that your device should be able to boot, than unlock OEM and bootloader and downgrade to what version you want

I can get to fastboot yeah, but MiFlash tool says that remote oem unlock is not allowed. So I'll probably have to open it up for EDL. Reboot to edl isn't working. Thanks for the advice tho.

i had a problem like yours, but i have flashed stock rom in non EDL mode and everything had start to work apart LTE band missing that i restored with qualcomm's tools
which stock rom have you try to flash? are you downgrading from oreo? bootloop on android one logo after downgrading is a common issue due to ARB (anti rollback protection)

reward is cancelled from this point on i will reward the one who helped me so far tho. still working on solving the problem so winner has not been decided yet.
you don't understand.
There are no winners and no loosers.
You are free to donate to anyone you want, but your post boost and encourages a bad attitude.
If people start to solve only paid problems, the spirit of the community will be destroyed.
The problem is with the Pie specific partition table
I write the whole guide from memory, so it can differ a bit.... I skipped some steps ( erasing, reboot, fastboot mode, TWRP loading via fastboot, OEM unlock )
From previous writings I think you can know the skipped steps.
Keep in mind: It is dangerous, you can loose your IMEI ( it will only work again with Pie - or there are some writings at forum how can you manually change it. ).
Steps:
1 - Backup with TWRP (fastboot) efs,persist,modem & make copy to your computer and or to your cloud provider.
2 - Create a new folder in Internal Storage -> TWRP -> BACKUP -> With a new date directory ( the backup already made one, make a new folder, with different date )
3 - Download someone's older TWRP backup from xda (I cheated, I copied the following links ) :
(I'm still a new user, so can't directly write url's )
Mediafire : https COLON SLASH SLASH bit.ly SLASH 2QU5NtC
Mirror: Google Drive : https COLON SLASH SLASH bit.ly SLASH 2UN1DTo
4 - Unpack, and copy EFS to the folder created 2 point
5 - Fastboot TWRP -> Restore EFS
6 - Flash the Official latest firmware from en.miui.com ( If you want to make sure go with EDL mode )
7 - Now, the IMEI & Mac addresses are missing. Don't panic! Download update with System Updates.
8 - When you are on Pie again, restore your first TWRP (fastboot) persist partition
9 - One more System restore
At this time, you will have IMEI & Mac addressees, and hopefully a working phone.
Hope this helps. The same thing happened with me 2 weeks ago. This is how I solves it.
Thank you, I solved it yesterday. Hopefully this post will come in handy for other people!

Can't install MIUI by fastboot

Hello, I was trying to install MIUI 10 for some reasons, well I tried to install using miflash but when i was almost getting it, there was an error and now the phone is in infinite loop when starting, showing the redmi logo and the black screen, I can access the fastboot but using it in miflash I can't anymore recognize in the software, I use windows 10 and when i click refresh on the miflash, it is as if the device had been disconnected from the computer.
I also tried to use the linux tool, using linux mint 19 but in all the ROMs I tried, the error "missmatching image and device" appeared every time :crying:
How long is th folder name? Right rom?
Do you have unlocked or locked bootloader ?? Get your stock rom ,fastboot rom, chose the right rom, unzip , open the unzipped file of the ROM ,copy all the files in there and past them in the file of Xiaomi drivers , than put your phone in fastboot mode and connect it with USB cable, double click on the " flash_all ", done. If the process will not run immediately, wipe all data and try again !!!

The name of the rom you say? Something like "lavender_global_images_V10.3.10.0.PFGMIXM_20190816.0000.00_9.0_global_8cf943bb70"
It's locked bootloader again? So you need to bring it to a service or have to open the back panel and try flash in EDL mode.

Path to folder like e:/rom/ llavenderrom....
Then make it shorter like e:/rom(all files inside.)
Sorry german user
Hello, sorry for the delay, I managed to install MIUI, I found that the version of my phone is Chinese, after trying so much I finally did, however when accessing the system, my wifi or sim reader do not work, so I can't even log in with my mi account. I do not know why
I still don't have the bootloader
Make a factory reset, but are you sure that the bootloader is locked ?? Because SIM cards usually have this problem if you have another rom from different region.

I already tried doing factory reset, but the problem persists. Yes, my bootloader is locked, I'm flashing through edl, and only china rom works, the global one appears that "this miui version can't be installed on this device" and goes into bootloop

Your phone is only for chinese market. So if you want to use global rom, you must install china rom first, then unlock bootloader again (wait few days) and then install global rom (with unlock bootloader).

I don't know, the Chinese rom was the only one I was able to install without this recovery error, but when it starts I can't use the wifi and SIM
I think it have a hardware issue.

I have the same problem, it would be too much hardware coincidence. To fix the problem you need .qcn and qspt but I'm having problems with that.
