Flash and Unlocking with virtualbox

Can I do flashing and Unlocking xiaomi redmi note 4 my device with virtual box? Is it safe enough to do it?I just worried that virtual box will make the process doesn't goes well and crash in the middle of process
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] juniorhxcx:
Guys,

Why can not I install TWRP again on MIUI 10.

In Developer mode, you are enabled to debug USB.

Putting the machine in Fastboot mode

1-adb reboot boot loader

2-Copy the last TWRP: https://dl.twrp.me/mido/

to a folder: C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Minimum ADB and Fastboot

3- Holding the Shift open the terminal

4- After: recovery flash fastboot twrp.img

and restarting fastboot

A medium start, but after power off and (Power + Volume +), does not enter MIUI Recovery and not TWRP.

Can anyone help?

This MIUI forum thread says that you can unlock the bootloader even on global ROM. Is it correct?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] asusm930:
i did it on china stable rom :)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] gsmyth:
I did it on China dev/beta rom. It works 100%, so I would recommend using it. All you need to do is flash the global ROM straight after or if you install TWRP you can flash roms from recovery.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Wilderone:
I also had to flash the China Developer ROM to unlock, but I think the difference between these Vendor Rom's Fake or otherwise is some don't have the unlock option under Developer Options as below pictured. & After helping a few people over in the en.miui forums I've come to believe that's how some people get stuck:
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Athora:
That's strange, my RN4 doesn't have that option but my MIUI 8 seems to be running smoothly, and the languages are fine. Only issue I found was that the Locale is always set to China after reboot.

Case in point.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] evl01:
ok.. my experience

you can follow all the guide if you want but its not mandatory to flash the developer china rom.

i just unlock my bootloader being on chinese oficial rom that came with my device.

you get the permission to unlock bootloader, then unlock normally just connecting the phone in fastboot mode.

then, you flash the recovery and then from the recovery you install the xiaomi.eu global rom. just have to choose if you want weekly or stable monthly

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] stephanisk:
Thanks for the guide... but how to unlock bootloader

Hi guys,

First of all, you saved my phone, i don't know what happened, but phone crashed while i was calling and he didn't recognize my fingerprint nor my pincode, so he locked every time for 2 hours. i flashed a global rom mtk now and it works.

BUT... i do have a question, how to unlock the bootloader without xiaomi permission???? cause that takes forever apparantly, i waited a week after applying and not using my phone so now i flashed it and lost all data. If i would have had an unlocked bootloader i could have fixed this issue i had in a few seconds by wiping user data.

I have found a guide on the redmi note 3 but that guide doesn't work for the redmi note 4. for starters my qualcomm drivers always remain with exclamation mark.

Does any of you have a guide how to unlock the bootloader without the official mi tool???? It would be highly appreciated.

Regards and thanks.

Stephane
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] gsmyth:
Just do it the Xiaomi way, I'm not even sure there is an unofficial way, but it's not worth bricking your phone over. And it will most likely be more complicated (the Xiaomi way can be tricky enough) The unlock code can be received in a couple of days, in my own experience. Once you request permission and have a Xiaomi account, make sure to go to the MIUI forum and make a few posts/replies, this can help ensure there are no delays as you have a bit of an established 'profile'. When stating the reason for unlock just be honest and say you live outside of China and you wish to unlock your bootloader to install custom Roms on your new Xiaomi Redmi note 4.

That's what I done and got unlocked no problem, if you're having any probs just drop a post here on XDA and someone will help out as we've all went through the same process.

Hello everyone and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I have one problem i can't install TWRP

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Wilderone:
Hi,

So what I can see is that when you issued the commands "adb reboot bootloader"& "adb devices" it produced errors immediately.

What that tells you is that you are not connected to your device.

Usually when everything is setup correctly you will see an output below the "adb devices" command something along the lines of:

>List of devices attached

>serial_number state

If you get a serial number, you're good to keep issuing the rest of the commands, If you don't, make sure you're in the right folder and that you have the device driver installed correctly. And be sure you have USB debugging turned on & your in fastboot.

---------- Post added at 08:11 ---------- Previous post was at 07:41 ----------

Hi,

As [MENTION=3330048]gsmyth[/MENTION] said do it the official way & maybe apply again using another email/mobile number if you have too.

Mine only took 3 days with a handful of posts over on en.miui site.

There is a thread around that describes an unofficial way but it's in very early development & I won't even link it here because people are using that technique out of frustration & then only partially unlocking there bootloaders.

It's causing all sorts of bad issues that they can not come back from & then when they try the official method it stops that from working too.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] x3m.zone:
If you have bought the phone with China Rom, then you can go with official way.

But if you are in Europe and your phone came with Global Rom, then you need to follow this guide.

Now, you can instal Global Dev and see if you can unlock wia official way (not tested scenario, worth trying). At the time when this guide was writen there was no Global Dev Rom available, only China.

I've flashed the Chinese Dev ROM and I seem to be missing the "OEM Unlocking" option under developer settings too, just the "Mi Unlock Status" shows. I've successfully added account and device through that option.

Is OEM Unlocking supposed to appear after your request gets approved by the official site and you check your status on the phone?

My application is still under review.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Wilderone:
Hi,

I don't remember that "OEM unlocking" was available on mine, someone else may be able to chime in here? but from memory all I did was add the account under "Mi Unlock Status" & then sign in & use the Mi Unlock Tool.

But in any case you will need to wait for your confirmation SMS before trying.

For example the SMS reply I got was:

You've been granted the permission to unlock your device (Mi Account 165332#####). Download Mi Unlock Tool at http://en.miui.com/unlock/
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] moxalis:
Cheers for the reply!

Hopefully it won't take too long to get the permission, I've been reading some horror stories about the wait.

Kinda sucks not being able to use your phone the way you want to right away.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Wilderone:
Yeah it does but I jumped the gun & applied for bootloader unlock while waiting for mine to be delivered.

Have you posted a few times on the forums on en.miui.com?

It supposedly helps speed it up & possibly? it's less likely to be rejected.

Mine took 3 days.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] moxalis:
Update: I never saw the "OEM Unlocking" option on my phone under the settings, but after getting official permission to unlock (in about 3.5 days), everything went smoothly.

I get stuck on step 9 where the flash tool doesn't detect the phone in fastboot mode. The drivers were installed properly though and it does show up as a usb device in windows 10.

It may be because I'm trying to do it with windows 10 in a virtualbox environment and it seems to show up as a couple of different usb devices as it's boot into fastboot mode, and it's not possible to catch the right one.

I've also tried all the different USB ports as someone mentioned that fixing it for them. I have also replaced and redownloaded the cust.img file.

I also get this message below after installing the drivers, does it have something to do with the error? (Did install after entering the bcdedit.exe commands and rebooting)

Have Installed MTK USB Port ------- oem21.inf

Have Installed PreLoader USB VCOM Port ----- oem55.inf

Have not install ----- MediaTek USB Vcom (Android)

Have Installed ADB ----- oem56.inf
