Revert back to locked state after unofficial unlock (Redmi note 3 pro/SD)

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

if touchscreen is not working, unpack recovery and see if it has the modules inside, put them on Twrp if its not there, use stock boot.img and copy all the modules to twrp and it should have touchscreen working, its just a little help since i did this to my device and it started working.

if bootloader is locked, the bootloader wont allow twrp to boot since its an unofficial unsigned image (not signed by the OEM)

1- i read something about a project from the thread link you showed me that it restores bootloader functions
2- he problably used that method or still uses old software versions where the patch to remove bootloader hasnt been made yet..

Its project spectrum rom instead of colorOS rom, but it is not compatible for oppo a37f
and i think he is using the same software but still i'll ask him for his version of OS.....
It's all my fault i didn't go through details of phone before buying....
So the final thing is i am stuck with a phone without fastboot and locked bootloader and can't install TWRP... It sucks!

Hey, Use oppo tool with unlock bootloader then flash recovery image.

Can't unlock bootloader, can't finish OS setup

So I upgraded to Nougat on my P9 Lite, unlocked boot loader, used twrp, flashed roms and everything went smooth. Saw a more up-to-date version with no bugs, so I had to downgrade to MM first.
I followed a guide, but I messed up somewhere and ended up having my bootloader locked, and I can't access the OS to enable developer options and oem unlock from settings. The reason why I can't access the OS is that I am stuck in the setup. I am stuck at the part where I have to sign in to my google account. It doesn't show a keyboard, only a microphone, and I can't use that for my password (it won't let me).
Any ideas?
TL;DR messed up during downgrading from Nougat to MM, now TWLR is gone, bootloader is locked and my main issue is that when I get to the google account sign in part during OS setup, there is no keyboard (I can only use dictation) so I can't sign in... So I'm stuck
Also, can I unlock bootloader without access to OS, without being able to navigate to settings, enable developer options and then oem unlock?

1. Stuck in OS setup? Signing in to Google? Hey, it's not obligatory, can't you just skip it?
2. Flashing ROMS locked your bootloader, it's normal, but I'm sure it didn't change the "oem unlock" setting you had surely enabled before. Go to fastboot mode and check Bootloader and FRP status on the bottom of the screen. If FRP is unlocked, you will be able to unlock bootloader again.
3. If you have your TWRP gone (flashed by stock ROM), flash the recovery partition manually - fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img (download from Meticulus Project site).

It is obligatory, I couldn't skip it. I tried to use other methods of signing in, but then it asked me to reset password at the end.
Both Phone and FRP are locked
I think I have missed this, but I can't do it via fastboot because I keep getting "Command not allowed" whenever I try to unlock bootloader or do anything via fast boot.
Also, thank you so much for your time and input. It is much appreciated.

That's weird, I flashed my phone several times with different ROMS (not Nougat) and this setting (oem unlock / FRP unlocked) stayed enabled. Don't know where it sits then and how to change it without getting inside OS. But - what about TWRP? Oh right, you won't be able to flash it without unlocked bootloader... Oh, crap. I would try SRK Tool for Huawei to play with bootloader, it uses fastboot so shouldn't help, but maybe, just maybe? Maybe try flashing whole ROMs through dload folder on SD? Stock 120, 161, Nougat, I would try these. I hope there is some way to unlock FRP, probably it's possible in DC-unlocker (it's a paid software).

Yes, it's very weird. I haven't done the process a lot. But I've flashed a couple of phones I had before, went smooth. Nothing major like this happened before.
I will consider the SRK Tool and I did not know about the DC-Unlocker tool, thank you for telling me about it.
Flashing whole roms through dload folder only works with Nougat for some reason, and I keep getting stuck in the signing in problem because of no keyboard, someone told me that's incomplete software, I'm hoping that's the case, any ideas where can I get it from?
Again thank you Jagiel88 for your time and advice xD

No problem, unfortunately I haven't tried Nougat yet, so search for help on down/upgrade Nougat beta <-> Marshmallow threads .

[Discontinued] Unofficial Bootloader Unlock Method for Hydrogen[32GB]

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.

Yes! We appreciate you trying to help but your missing the point... You have uploaded a guide from another handset expecting it to work for our devices having not tested it previously, the guide isn't even for out device so have fun being guinea pigs

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...

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:
