Hi All, I have unlocked the bootloader the unnofical way and i am on global 7.1.7.0(LHOMICL) with twrp and root.
I now have recieved the official sms to unlock from xiaomi.
Already i had to open the phone 3 times to get into edl mode. I really dont wont to open the phone agian.
When i try to unlock the tool answers no need to unlock. I think this is because i flashed the adapted emmc_appsboot.mbn and boot.img thru fastboot.
Do i have to change te rom to another version before i try thru edl or fastboot? What is the best procedure to official unlock now because i read a lot of bricks if they try to revert back to original state.
Can some one give me a detailed guide? Thanx in advance.
You need to flash a fully stock edl ROM on top of your current setup.
This will wipe out your hacked bootloader and throw the original (still locked) one back onto your device.
Then just unlock as usual. I did the procedure myself today already as I got my unlock notification today as well.
Ok thnx for the info. I have changed this global rom 7.1.7.0 in great extend and dont wont to lose this setup.
So can I backup my current setup with twrp with the hacked bootloader.
Flash the complete global 7.1.7.0 in edl mode. Unlock with the unlock tool.
Root the rom and install twrp.
After this can i restore the backup with the hacked bootloader with twrp?
I dont know how the unlock tool of xiaomi works, so i could leave the official bootloader in place when i do the restore with twrp and only replace system and data partition or can i flash all the parts back with twrp to keep the unlock?
Wich procedure will keep the official unlock in place or will this unlock stick always?

please give a detailed tutorial how to do it. I am now in AOSP with unofficially unlocked bootloader. How to relock it again to unlock officially?
Relock Bootloader
I see many asking how to Relock Bootloader, especially those who had unlocked unofficially.
The steps to be followed are following:
(1) Turn on USB debugging for your phone;
Go to Settings -- About Phone --> Touch 7 times on "MIUI version" to Enable Developer Options.
Now go to Settings - Additional Settings - Developer Options --> USB debugging.
Enable USB Debugging and Connect to PC.
(2) Download Fastboot ROM (file extension .tgz or .tar) from
Code:
http://en.miui.com/a-234.html
(3) Boot into EDL
adb devices (to check it's connected)
adb reboot edl
(4) Use MI Flash Tool to Flash the Fastboot ROM
PS: It is assumed that person knows how to get drivers installed for phone if not already, use ADB command as well as know MI Flash Tool basics.
@BRoy_98 @ioosis @davegrond : hope this helps.
@MrColdbird Thanks for the tip

On MiFlash, select folder of Fastboot ROM, then click on Advanced, and in fastboot script select flash_all_lock.bat. After it, close MiFlash then open it again and check in advanced if flash_all_lock.bat comes selected. If yes, close advanced box and flash ROM. Don't forget to close and open MiFlash after choose flash_all_lock.bat script, it's important step. And you can do it in Fastboot mode, don't need to go to EDL mode to flash the ROM.

warranty
does rooting redmi note 3 void warranty bcuz it has a locked bootloader and cannot root without unlocking it ????
and can we lock bootloader again for warranty claims ????
plzz help ???
ty.
Why can't we directly update the device..
Like after flashing miui ROM (7.1)then installing (8.1)....will the bootloader get locked....
?....somebody have any idea place help out
Q. Can the device be rooted without voiding warranty?
A. Yes, by unlocking the BL unofficially.
Q. Once rooted and on MiUI, can I update using Updater?
A. No! You'll lock your BL and end up in a bootloop. Instead, use the updater to download the zip file, reboot into recovery (TWRP or ZCX) flash the zip first and then the universal boot.img patched/lazy flasher and reboot to system.
I followed the method mentioned in the replies to relock the bootloader, i.e, flashed the fastboot rom in edl mode
But for some strange reason, when I entered the fastboot mode and checked whether the bootloader is locked or not by "fastboot oem device-info", it said "Device Unlocked: True"
The main problem came when I booted into the ROM; It broke all kinds of wireless connections. The wifi malfunctioned, the phone wouldn't read the SIM cards etc.
Is there a solution? Please help
Thanks
I don't have an unlocked bootloader and i flashed the CWM. Now when i try to enter the recovery mode with buttons, nothing happens just turns the phone on normally. I searched for stock recoveries, but didn't found nothing.
I have GRA-L09, B200, Europe Open
Thanks for help!
To get an unlocked bootloader you must go to settings> about phone> build number
and then press build number 7 times
after you did that exit out of about phone then click on the newly-appeared 'developer settings'
there you should find OEM Unlocking and Enable USB Debugging
You'll get it from there.
I have the Dev Ops, but don't have OEM unlock.
But shouldn't you already have an unlocked bootloader to have DevOps?
Don't know. I don't typed any code in to unlock bootloader.
Are you sure you have DevOps?
---------- Post added at 01:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:55 PM ----------
And also try to do it not with buttons, but with your computer
I don't know the script for how to boot into recovery mode but to fastboot, for example, you'd type in >fastboot
when your phone is connected to your PC via USB.
Y'know, just search up 'How to use Recovery Mode' - maybe you just did it wrong
Didn't tryed it w/ adb yet.
ADB didn't worked. I'm trying a full hard reset..
Hard reset didn't do nothing. HELP PLS!!

That means you have a locked bootloader, so CWM didn't install successfully.
In other words, you need to unlock the bootloader first in order to successfully install CWM.
So, 1st step - visit the Huawei unlocking code request page, taking your time to fill in the form accurately & submit it.
[Btw, if you don't already have a Huawei ID, you can register for one here: http://www-file.huawei.com/en/my-huawei/register
Then use these login details in the above link to request for the unlock code]
2nd step: Once you receive the unlock code from them, use it to unlock the bootloader by issuing the following command in fastboot mode [the asterisks (*) represent your 16-digit unlock code]:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock ****************
Now you can attempt to install CWM. Where are you getting the CWM img file from?

Ok, so it appears you may have corrupted the recovery partition.
Is the phone otherwise booting into the system & functioning normally?
Also, can you tell us what you are wanting to ultimately achieve by installing CWM?
Just to confirm the bootloader is unlocked, run this command in fastboot mode & let us know the result:
Code:
fastboot oem get-bootinfo
Ok, I just read your post in the other thread about wanting to update B200 to B370.
TheGolem said:
I have b200 but can't install it [B370]. Why?
Early flashed the CWM with flashify succesfully, but don't have unlocked bootloader. And if i try to enter recovery mode, nothing happens. Is it possible, that i cant' install it because of this?

As the guys already said, you do not need to install anything in order to update an official rom.
So, let's leave out CWM, bootloaders, etc for now, & help you update only from B200.
When you try using TopperBG's method to update, what happens?
What is your current FULL firmware version? It will be in this format: GRA-L09CxxxB200 - if everything else is as I've mentioned, I'm interested in the Cxxx part.

Update succeed, it wroks fine. The problem is with the recovery mode.
When i'm trying the button method to enter recover, the phone just normally turns on. When still hold the buttons, black screen. It's with the abd too.

you don't have a unlocked bootloader so you can't have cwm

-Android 5 succeed
-If i try to install Android 6

1. You need to install stock recovery for android 5(unlocked bootloader is required).
2. Then you can use the dload method to update.
3. You can flash TWRP after that because no-one uses CWM.

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:

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.

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.

Hi all,
I've ran into a problem while attempting to flash TWRP recovery to my Lemfo LEM8 watch. When I boot into the bootloader I found out that it is still locked so I tried unlocking the bootloader by executing the command: fastboot oem unlock. Now the problem is that in order to actually unlock the bootloader I have to press the vol up button which is a problem since the Lemfo LEM8 doesn't have any volume buttons....
The reason why I want to unlocker the bootloader is because I want to temporarily boot into TWRP recovery, why temporarily? Because I am not sure I succesfully ported the TWRP recovery for my watch and I don't want to brick the watch with flashing a faulty recovery.
I know the tool: flashtool which can also flash the recovery to the device ofcouse but I rather temporarily boot into the recovery instead of permanently flashing it with flashtool.
Steps I took:
HTML:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices
0123456789ABCDEF fastboot
fastboot oem unlock
....
So my question for you guys is: does anyone know how to simulate a volume up key press so I can unlock the bootloader?
Any other suggestions on how to install the recovery are welcome aswell ofcourse!
Thanks in advance,
Kasper

You do not need to unlock the bootloader on a LEM8. It does not actually validate the contents of anything you flash into recovery at all. Use SP Tools (flashtool, as you mentioned) to flash recovery (and/or system and boot if you like). You will need a scatter file specifically for the LEM8, which is available around the 'net. If your custom TWRP does not work, just flash the original recovery back in. (Make sure you extract the original recovery first, also using flashtool, or pull it out of the most recent firmware image if you choose to download one.) As long as you use the right scatter file and only replace recovery, you will not brick the watch. You might get a boot loop, but that's easy to fix by simply reflashing the original recovery.
I am in the same position. I think I have both root and TWRP but cannot load them in to test.
From what I have found is that the command "fastboot oem unlock" is only used with older Android ROMs and you need to go into developer options and turn on OEM Unlock.
You then issue the command "fastboot flashing unlock" so that you can then flash the twrp recovery image by issuing the command "fastboot flash boot recovery.img" or whatever you named it.
The problem is that the command "fastboot flashing unlock" results in a warning message on the watch screen that requires you to tap an accept radio button or similar. Unfortunately this radio button is hidden behind the curved screen at the bottom and you cannot use the round to square screen found on the turn off screen to bring it into view..
Edit: On a closer look with a magnifying glass when I retried it asked to push the volume button up, but since there are no volume buttons on the device then ???????
If anyone has a solution, I would be grateful.
I used Magisk to patch the boot.img to give root and Team Hovatek's Mediatek Auto TWRP Recovery Porter to incorporate TWRP into the recovery.img.
I have tried the SP Flashtool in many configurations without success. The watch simply refuses to reboot and I have to use SP Flashtool to flash the stock ROM back on it to get it to work.
Any help would be appreciated.

Register and download your firmware; the scatter will be in the extracted download.
Or create one using the likes of WwR_MTK
Also, for the volume up issue - have you tried connecting a USB keyboard to your watch using a USB to Micro USB adapter? Long shot but never know? I've connected a mouse before and it worked. However Android had already booted and loaded the GUI so not sure about the lower boot level drivers etc

Files you need (P10 Lite): https://mega.nz/#F!TNQiFDrS!LeWgM5bukSz66UEL5zE1Tg
Part 1 - Unlock Bootloader:
Full guide how to unlock your Bootloader via DC-Unlocker or HCU Client - https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-7x/how-to/how-to-unlock-huawei-bootloader-removal-t3780903
* If you use HCU Client then TURN OFF your Antivirus because it detects parts of the program as a Trojan! But don't worry, it's safe!
Also see this tutorial here - http://hcu-client.com/read-bootloader-code-huawei-phone/
Install ADB drivers (adb-setup-1.4.3.exe)
Once you get the unlock code turn OFF the phone, press and hold only VOL DONW and connect it to PC via USB cable.
The phone will boot in to Bootloader mode.
Open PowerShell or CMD window and use this command:
fastboot oem unlock <your_unlock_code>
On the phone choose YES with the buttons and bootloader will unlock.
The phone will be factory reseted!!!
Part 2 - Root the phone:
Go to Settings -> System -> About Phone -> Click 7-8 times on the Build Number (until you see a message that you're developer)
Go to Settings -> System -> Developer options -> Enable USB Debugging
Turn OFF your Phone, press and hold VOL Down and connect it to the PC via USB cable.
The phone will boot in to Bootloader mode, but this time you will see this:
Bootloader: Unlocked
FRP: Unlocked
Open PowerShell or CMD window and use this command:
fastboot flash ramdisk patched_boot.img
fastboot reboot
That's all. Your phone is rooted with Magisk!
If you need just install latest Magisk Manager.
patched_boot.img is patched stock RAMDISK.img (boot file)
REMEMBER:
1. You CAN NOT install OTA update if you phone is rooted (during instalation gives error)
2. You CAN install only FullOTA update but you will lose the root
3. After every system update (FullOTA) you should run the phone to Bootloader mode and flash patched_boot.img again if you want root

This is unlock bootloader + root.
If you want rooted stock rom, then root is just one simple step: fastboot flash ramdisk patched_boot.img
There is no free way to unlock bootloader.
If you want to install custom roms then flash TWRP:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk TWRP.img
But DO NOT flash Pretoriano80's TWRP because it's for stock rom only and isn't support custom roms!!!
Maybe try this:
Haky86's TWRP - https://www.haky86.com/hi6250/twrp-emui-8-hi6250/
Haky86's Android 9.0 - https://www.haky86.com/hi6250/emui-8-hi6250/
ArrowOS and AOSP are stable.

You are going to screw up your phone in this learning process .Unless you have another phone and this p10 is your 2nd phone then you can try & error .No matter what you must open yr bootloader to proceed next step .Means additional cost for sure .
Good luck
Well, I asked for huawei support for unlock code. I had to send them details and I got the code in almost a month
Hey there guys! Is it still available to get the code directly from huawei? How could I request them the code? I recently received this phone as present and it is as it came from factory but i want to install custom roms in my P10 lite is it still possible?
Thanks in advance for your help, I really wouldn't like to screw up my new phone! Cheers!

I followed all your steps. It seems all done but the root is not completed at the end. I guess I do something wrong in Part 2...
