I'm so tired of this ****. Bought it on January and since then, having all kind of problems to unlock Kate. I want to smash it. I don't ****ing understand why these retarded chinnese have to make things as hard. And I don't know why a lot of retards on MIUI forums are posting stupid wizard recipes to unlock (Oh yes, first turn on your device exactly five times when the moon is full and sync with MI Cloud a picture of your cat walking, and sacrifice a baby the last day of Autumm) There's also a lot of people who don't even understand this is a different version. IT'S KATE, idiots.

As for this post... this doesn't work. Bootloop. Flashed already 5 times, downloaded again 4 times, don't ****ing know if the hash is correct. I can't go into recovery to clean after flashing, BECAUSE THERE'S NO STUPID RECOVERY.

I'm sorry but I've almost given up. This is frustrating. I miss my Nexus 5 so much.

Please, tell me which one works other than this. Just for trying
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gilang555:
going to try..

but i cant use miflash 2016xxxx, cause it gets error when i pressed refresh button (i'll use the latest). i will use mi unlock 1.1.0317, link in op provide the latest mi unlock (v2.2).

and my question is, what does clean boot mean? simplest thing that make me confused.

edit:

WOW! MY DREAM CAME TRUE!

YOU'RE MY SUPERHERO..!!! MY BOOTLOADER IS UNLOCKED NOW...

for kate users i fully recommend this guide, as i successfully and easily unlock my bootloader with this method.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] nadersith:
Can you describe the entire process? Which rom did you have before flashing? I can't pass the bootloop when flashing that rom in EDL mode.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gilang555:
I'll do my best to give the details, even if there is some useless thing. But it's pretty similar with op method. I'm on global beta 7.5.25 before doing the flashing thing.

I have windows 10 pc running 64bit, I'm on test mode (disabled driver signature). And my usb driver is all set, including adb and fastboot.

1. Power off my phone, pull out my sim card and put the sim tray back with no sim card. Go into fastboot mode.

2. Connected it to the pc, run reboot.bat (enter edl mode)

3. Open latest miflash (2017xxxx), browse for miui 6.7.14 (i already have it) (make sure there is no space on the path)

4. Click refresh button (my device recognized as COM10), Click "flash all" button on the bottom. And then click FLASH button to proceed flashing process.

5. Flash done, hold power button to reboot (still connected on pc). Booting does take a long time (don't assume this as a bootloop)

6. Once it rebooted I don't set any account yet , i go to settings and do a factory reset.

7. Rebooted again, i didn't set my google account. Then i set mi account with mi account ID. Go to developer options, turned on bootloader unlock (it's already turned on, then i turn it off and turned it on again). Turn on usb debugging. (If u want to make sure, run adb devices command and authorize it)

8. Disconnect device from pc (to disconnect the device properly run "adb kill-server" then click eject mtp)

9. Open mi unlock that i already have(i forgot the version, maybe it's v1.1.0317)

10. Log in mi unlock with account ID.

11. Turning off the phone, go into fastboot mode.

12. Connect the device to pc.

13. Click unlock button to proceed unlocking.

14. Done, my bootloader unlocked.

Got an update for us by any chance? :D
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sasori95:
I tried it yesterday and it worked !

The Kate device can only be unlocked on LL bootloader I think, you can't officially unlock it with the MM bootloader (no case of Kate unlock on MM bootloader was observed).

My MIUI version was 7.6.8.

The latest LOS build from June, 14th worked perfectly (GPS, fingerprint, network, etc..). Don't forget to flash the latest Kate firmware from this thread before flashing LOS.

Please also do a clean flash if you want the fingerprint sensor to work.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] herecomesmaggi:
Wow You seem to have researched a lot about this. I am also victim of miui, I was happily unlocked officially for a year but then few days back my charging port gone kaput, so I gave my device to service center and they flashed fastboot rom locking my bootloader. Now the problem is everything is changed, there are new settings in developer section that need to be changed, and there is absolutely zero information onthat.

Now it shows this device is not bound to your account in mi unlock tool.

Tried everything.

Is there any drawback to unlock unofficial method. If yes please explain. Also I have full twrp backup from recovery twrp alka, if it helps in anyway.

Can't flash 6.7.14. I've tried from 7.5.19 and 7.6.8 (Last global dev).

Maybe my phone is dead? I'll look for an used OnePlusOne. This ****ing company won't see a penny from me again.

Got a new once again after my previous got stolen. My miui version on forum is same. its been 6 days m waiting since i got the device.

I really neeed help to unlock it asap..
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gilang555:
I am just wondering, how could that happened? I have never failed flash a fastboot rom with edl mode, no matter what version. And i never changed the name of extracted rom either, i just make no space on the path.

Yeah usually i used that (locked) method to install LOS. But after a while I'm getting curious, why this dang bootloader is so hard to unlock. Then i found this thread, thanks to the op.

I have no such issue on official LOS, flash the OP firmware>factory reset wipe>flash latest LOS>flash gapps (i like the aroma)>reboot system. Best use LOS with the official TWRP (i'm sure u did), for the OTA update to work.

But now i'm back to miui. I like LOS alot, especially the performance. But miui have some good features, and i need it. Sometimes i moved rom alot, like a flashing weirdo...

From what i have readed, kenzo user could unlock their bootloader with china developer rom. No need to worry.

how can you please help.. Please

m currently on global dev beta.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gilang555:
First, do u have the permission to unlock?

If yes, search for guide to flash a fastboot rom with edl mode. Download then choose the chinese developer rom on miflash tool.

Or, you can try the OP method.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] jthreja:
​

Yes.. I have permission.. R u sure that China Dev rom would help.. Coz I read that you can unlock on global dev too..

Can you share some guide? Really thanks for your help...

Please use the old Mi Unlock Tool (Mi_Flash_Unlock-1.1.1111.11231.zip for example), you don't need to wait for the binding

I'm on Xiaomi drivers from 2016 and v1.1.03 does get the device verified, but says that I need to upgrade the unlocker. ROM is from this thread.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ilfccd:
Successfully unlocked, finally, on MM.

Some pointers to anyone trying to unlock.

1. To make sure I had the latest bootloader, I used 6.7.14 but in the fastboot files replaced the bootloader file (the emmc_apps.bin) with the one from the latest dev rom for kate (at time of this writing this is 7.5.19). This way I made sure that I had the latest bootloader so I wouldn't have any issues with LineageOS.

2. I also replaced the recovery image with the one that is pointed in the topic about using LineageOS with locked bootloader (I'll explain why in a second).

3. Flashed the rom from EDL mode

3.1 If you are like me - 6.7.14 will bootloop for you, no matter if you selected clean all in the EDL flasher. Xiaomi scripts suck, they don't clean **** from the phone.

3.2 If you encounter bootloops, I suggest immediately after flashing the 6.7.14 and before first boot, to boot into recovery. It will load the TWRP (probably it will be in Chinese, but change the language to a preferred and supported one) and do a factory reset. This will wipe the data partition of the phone. Reboot to system from TWRP

3.3 Wait for the phone to boot. Following the wipe after flash, the phone boots perfectly fine. Takes sometime though (~10 min probably). Make sure it doesn't bootloop. During the first boot you will see a progress bar. After that is finished, it will boot. Be patient (not too patient though, if more than 15 min, something went wrong, reflash again from EDL mode and do the 3.1-3.3 steps again)

4. Once you boot into the ROM, login to your MiAccount. Follow the instructions in all the dumb procedures in miui forum how to enable developer mode, enable oem unlock, etc. This rom does not require association with device <-> account, which is why it works.

5. Check your profile in miui forum. Take a look what does it say under ROM. When you see 6.7.14, your phone has updated Xiaomi's infra. You are almost there.

6. Use the unlock tool. The old tool 1.1.xxxx version did not unlock it for me, reporting various errors. I used the 2.2.xxxx versions. Initially it reported "time too short" between device association and Xiaomi's infra, but it also gave back info on hours. They require 72 hours. So you have to stay on the 6.7.14 rom for 72 hours. After that I used 1.1 tool and it didn't unlock. Closed it, opened the 2.2 tool. Device got unlocked immediately.

7. Now I have completely unlocked device on MM with the latest bootloader from Xiaomi's dev rom. Flashed TWRP, reformated the phone to f2fs, cleaned it, flashed LinageOS from 03/05/2017 (this was the latest I got before relocking), did a TitaniumBackup recovery and finally flashed the latest LOS. (sidenote: I also updated the firmware for kate /the ones without the bootloader in them, because I was coming from an old dev rom i.e. 6.7.14/).

8. Finally a working phone, I hope I don't have to repeat this bull**** again in the future. Xioami sucks, not gonna buy anymore phones from them.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] stephendt0:
Thanks. What a pain. I'll try some of your suggestions. How do you boot into recovery after flashing 6.7.14? I just get an icon to connect my device via USB to connect PC Suite, no options to factory reset...
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ilfccd:
Search the topic about installing Lineage without unlocking. There's a link to a TWRP recovery there. Download that and replace the original recovery.img with the twrp. After flashing in EDL mode, immediately restart into recovery (hold vol-up + pwr). Don't let it boot to the ROM, it will replace the recovery. Btw, if you manage to boot to the ROM, I don't think that you need to boot to recovery and wipe, as I did that, because it was bootlooping.

What I would think is far more important is to replace the bootloader file from 6.7.14 with the one from the latest dev rom. They are different, according to the sha sums, however I managed to unlock the transplanted bootloader without issues. Let me know if I can help with something as I know what a PITA this has been.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] stephendt0:
Alright, great. I'll try this soon. I had a feeling it had something to do with data not getting wiped.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Amon_Re:
You mean that binding thing in Developer Options > Mi Unlock Status suddenly worked after the 72h?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Amon_Re:
Well, I've decided to give this a go, setup a virtual machine, installed all the versions mentioned in the opening post and managed to downgrade my phone to this version (making sure it was clean, I wiped it before I flashed it). ROM seems to work okay, no crashes or bootloops or anything of the sort. However, Mi Unlocker 1.1 no longer works, App itself tells me to update to newer version.

So I did, and now it's telling me to wait 72 hours (71 by now), so it seems that the lack of that newer feature (the Mi Unlock status in Developer Options, it's not in this release) isn't actually going to be an issue..... So far. Will update in 71 hours or so.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
No with Lollipop ROMs there isnt that setting to bind the phone.

After the 72h I unlocked it without any problem.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Amon_Re:
Ah ok. For what it's worth, the MIUI 6.7.14 ROM is Marsh Mellow based and also doesn't have that setting. Once i flashed that I immediately got that 'wait 72h' error, so there's definitely something wrong with that account binding. One more day to go and I'll know for sure if it actually works
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
No there isnt something wrong with account binding. Just wait the 72h and it will work. Or try an older version of unlock tool. Some people reported that skipped the waiting time. But for me it didn't work so I had to wait.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Amon_Re:
Unlock 1.1 is no longer supported. Recent roms with account binding fail on the actual binding (see their forums, 100's of people can't get it to bind, sometimes for months). 6.7.14 is MM rom without that account binding and thus actually works (after 72h).
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Amon_Re:
I can confirm that using the firmware 6.7.14 works. If you have the problem with binding your Mi account, flash that version (make sure to wipe the phone if you had a more recent firmware)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] stephendt0:
WOW. Looks like this actually works, after months of trial and error. Worth noting that if I changed emmc_apps.bin it would not boot into ZCX TWRP - if I left it stock it would let me boot into TWRP after flashing so I could clear data. Woohoo! Now to wait 72hrs for unlock...
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] CHEFINHO1:
thank you very much, after so many years haha, i managed to solve the blocked bootloader problem!

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] front firing speakers:
Hello

Disclaimer - I know very little abourt rooting phones, ROMs, etc. Therefore please be gentle.

A few weeks ago I bought an Axon 7 (4gb - 128gb model) from Ali Express the Chinese ebay store. I took a punt as thew Axon 7 is impossible to get in the UK.

It became clear that is has been rooted in some way. It will not work with banking applications and Sky Q or SKY Go (and I really want these to work as I've just got Sky Q Installed).

Update: The MEGA cloud B13 download is currently on my SD card unzipped. When you do a system update check it flashes off and back to seetings i.e. not recognising the B13. Do you have to unzip first ? Or do I install from recoivery mode ?

Again all this is presuming it is safe !!

It presently stuck on Build no B07 (I understand that its now up to B13).

I'd like to return it to stock form and the latest build.

I've had a go at downloading B13 from MEGA cloud - link somewhere.

I cannot though seem to get this to copy from my Downloads to SD card - it just says A2017 is busy for some reason.

My questions therefore are:

(1) Is it safe to replace the current firmware - (at least partically rooted) with B13 in recovery mode ?

(2) If this is okay and will not risk bricking the phone does anyone have a link to the B013 build. I found a link but it kept failing all the time.

Any tips / help foer the novice phone usser would be appreciated.

Much appreciated.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] jetsetwilly:
Go to ROMS and kernels in XDA, then Axon 7 Factory Images/Full OTAs

And click on the link to download from mega. Download b13. Unzip and copy the update.zip file to the root of your sd. Then go to updates on your phone and follow it through.

Just done it on mine and it's a massive improvement. Especially on the camera.

Also, mine updated without wiping anything. Got Evie launcher on mine and it flies. I'm actually not regretting selling my s7 edge for the first time.

(I did the download and unzip on my PC and just copied the update.zip file to the sd)

---------- Post added at 09:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:23 PM ----------

...with regards to banking, following the update it now allows me to use my fingerprint to log into rbs where it didn't before because it said it was rooted. Paypal too. Don't know about other banking apps.

Hope this helps

You may need to unzip the B13 download. It may contain a separate zip inside titled 'update.zip' and the instructions. Flashing that update.zip should pass all verification checks during flashing in recovery.

How do i install a custom recovery on my tablet to then get root access ??

Currently what i did is got the Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact Wifi IMG from TWRP , then went to the adb folder and opened command prompt using Shift + right click > Open a Command Prompt Here.

I then went to flashboot mode in my tablet ( i was holding volume up , then connected my tablet to the laptop) , a blue LED light showed up.

I typed "fastboot devices" in the command prompt , and it gave me a code so i knew the device was recognized . I then placed the TWRP img into the adb folder and renamed it "twrp" (because it was named twrp-3.0.2.0-scropion_windy.img) and typed in the command prompt "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img"

i got this in return :

target didn't report max-download-size

sending 'recovery' (12316 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.390s]

writing 'recovery'...

finished. total time: 0.398s

no recovery tho , cant enter it i heard that you need to press a key when a purple led shows up , but there's no led and even if i try a button combination , it wont work.

Pleaseeee help me guys!!! i really want root access :(

btw im using the adb from the android studio file

I re-locked my bootloader and then UNLOCKED it again.... and now it says this :

[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] pacattack81:
I think it's a bit deceiving to give the impression this phone charges fast. It states 5V/2a fast charging. That's not considered fast charging if you ask me. It doesn't support quick charge I can tell you that much for certain. I guess they get away with it by saying fast charging instead of quick charging. Kind of a bummer not to be able to quick charge with such a large battery.
