Yes its possible to switch from Stable to Developer Rom on locked bootloader, But than u can't revert from Developer to Stable with locked bootloader.....
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] melmarPH:
Please teach me how to do it good Sir..

---------- Post added at 12:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:11 PM ----------

I tried updating through updater app with the version 7.2.16 developer ROM, I was prompted that an update will be made, but instead of selecting erase and proceed option, I clicked on Cancel. So I tried again. But after retrying it the second time, I all of a sudden got an error saying that I cannot update from an unofficial ROM package. How can I resolve this Sir?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] maxxx83:
Don't do that.Better wait for miui 9.On global developer all is same as in stable only battery life is worse.Only miui.eu and globe miui has better battery life with miui android 7 but you need unlocked bootloader for that.So better wait a month or little longer for miui9.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] naren12:
Miui 9
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] maxxx83:
It's great then.If they include some of the best android 7 features like direct reply from notification panel and dual windows mod.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sundeep99:
hey

you mentioned you had global developer rom running at the time of unlocking

can you tell me how did you get developer rom with locked bootloader?

thanks :)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] JackSparrow17:
That's weird, Clear Updater App cache and try...
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] seilogeo:
It is mentioned a lot of times that everyone can flash the developer rom with a locked bootloader. You download it from xiaomi's website and it is official.

The instructions can be found with a simple Google search. I personally flashed the developer rom with locked bootloader and I unlocked it with this rom after a while.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] melmarPH:
It did not work mate. I even tried doing a factory reset but it is still giving me the same error message that I can't flash update from unoffial rom package. It seems I missed my only chance to be able to switch to developer rom. This is so frustrating. No word can explain how I hate Xiaomi right now for making it very very hard for their customers.

Butt I don't want to wax with my Warranty

Or is there any to unlock without​ losing warranty
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sachin:
Dude Wat?

As I already said, unlocking, rooting, installing custom Roms doesn't void warranty on Xiaomi devices! You can play with your boi without the worries lol
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Abubakar Wander:
really thanyou so much

Tried that already, deleted and added account again. Old Unlock Tool gives error at 50% and tells me to use its latest version. Latest doesn't detect phone even though latest usb/fastboot drivers are all installed. Does anyone know why this could be happening?! Mi Unlock not compatible with Nougat roms? Or some other usb driver problem?

Cheers!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sachin:
Looks like drivers errors? Dunno exactly, you could try reinstalling drivers and also try reinstalling the latest tool.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] naren12:
This may be silly but try a different usb port. Bcoz it happened to me once and i tried a different usb port. May be it could work for u too
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] tenshin_76:
This might be silly too but prove useful. I download Unlock Tool to the folder Downloads on Windows, extract it there and execute it there. Someone on another forum told me to do it on C:\ and install the usb driver there (from the settings in Unlock Tool).

Another thing is that I'm unlocking bootloader on a PC with wifi dongle connected to my router in living room. First time I unlocked bootloader I hooked up CPU in the living room and dit it via normal network cable.

Could one of these two absurdities be the reason...? I still can't find a correlation to Unlock tool not detecting phone... :eek:
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] jamez001:
Also encountered your issue with phone not detected in latest mi unlock tool (despite all drivers installed). And with much despiration, i installed v1.0 of miunlock tool and successfully unlocked bootloader.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] naren12:
[MENTION=1126672]tenshin_76[/MENTION] May be. Try that too. I have no router so i used my dad's phone for internet(usb tethering)

One of my ports doesn't recognize my phone only, every others work. But i don't know that at that time. I used a usb hub in which i connected both the devices(mine and dad's) this is how i fixed it
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] tenshin_76:
Hey buddy! I tried with versión 1. 1 i think it was and it did detect my phone. However, process stops at 50% saying Couldn't Verify Device - Please use latest version of Mi Unlock...

I'll give version 1.0 a try... Would you happen to have it or the link...?

I'll try doing it via ethernet cable too but I don't know...

Cheers!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] ananthakrshnan10:
I have ordered Redmi Note 4 4GB variant. I thought of trying out the Global Betas of MiUI. I was wondering that in order to flash that, unlocking the bootloader is necessary (or) else can i flash with MiUI recovery with a locked bootloader as it is only MiUI? Though this question may sound silly, i need a clarity before i proceed further.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] naren12:
U can use beta roms with locked bootloader. But u can't come back to stable miui roms with locked bootloader. Better unlock it. Request for permission now itself
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] RevanEphys:
I just read the risk of unlocking bootloader , there's this sentence say "after the device is unlocked, some feature will be changed"

My question is what feature is changed ? And is it software based or hardware or both ? (for hardware like for example from sony where if you unlock your bootloader the bravia engine will not work like before i don't know this is true or not)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] maxxx83:
Just relax and unlock it bro...all is working fine and million time better then sony.I had many Sony models and Xiaomi is much better in there.And i think RN4X worth every penny because only camera is not that good in low light situations all other is big 10.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] RevanEphys:
I know in fact i just did , I'm just curious about the lost feature
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] maxxx83:
There is no lost features...all is same and works.I think only find device not working...but i don't use it and i don't know is it working again.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] huatz84:
Just got my Redmi Note 4X. I had unlocked some Xiaomi devices like Redmi Note 3 and Mi Max. But,all passed the unlock tool easily without failure issue. I just couldn't unlock my Note 4X. I've tried using some versions of Mi Flash Unlock (the latest one even the older). All resulted failed. The latest Mi Flash Unlock gave me error "binding time too short,need 72 hours". I even have updated to the latest developer ROM which is nougat and still the problem persisted. I've link mi account in dev options,checking OEM unlock,usb debugging and using flyVPN set to shanghai and still can't fix it. I also tried using 2 Mi accounts which I usually used to unlock some Xiaomi devices successfully.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sachin:
Wait 5-7 days, may be?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] huatz84:
That's the weirdest solution I guess...LOL

Thanks anyway,bro.. :good:
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sachin:
Lol na

It's for real bruh [emoji14]
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] huatz84:
Then,it's the strangest unlock method in my life..:p
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] tenshin_76:
Hey buddy, I also had loads of problems to unlock bootloader of Note 4x but I FINALLY managed to unlock it. First, Mi Unlock Tool wouldn´t detect phone. I solved it by unzipping the folder on C:\ and doing it from there and also connecting PC directly to ethernet router cable (I was doing it before via a wifi dongle). When it finally detected phone, it would stop at 99% and say Unknown Error, no matter how many times I tried. I logged on to Miui Unlock Tool with my email, device id and also phone number but always the same error at 99%. I finally had the idea of opening Unlock Tool as administrator and bingo, 100% succesfully unlocked. So you might wanna try that. I also eliminated fingerprint locks, turned on Sync and GPS and located phone on i.mi.com. I´m sure none of that matters though, the first time I unlocked bootloader I didn´t even go thru all those steps. Just activated Dev options, OEM unlock and I don´t think I even activated USB Debugging, to be honest! However as this second time was giving me so many problems, I carefully went thru all those steps and it wasn´t until I did the Run as Admin that it finally worked. I still think it´s all a problem with Miui servers.

Best of luck!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] huatz84:
Thanks for the info. I'll try it tomorrow. It's 2 a.m here. :D
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] strifej:
So, I have my unlock code.. I tried to unlock using the newest mi unlock. It said I didn't bind my account, so I did that, but now I can't even log in using the newest Mi unclok. It keeps saying NETWORK ERROR.. which doesn't make sense. I can use the old version and log in perfectly fine. But the old version will stop at 50% saying "Couldn't verify device".

Do I just wait a few more days? I got the unlock authorization 2 days ago.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sachin:
Yep... Wait few MOAR days.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] huatz84:
Still have to wait for less than 52 hours. I think I have to wait 2 more days to beat this crap bootloader. :D
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] strifej:
Yep.. newest version logs in now. Have to wait 56 more hours. Old verison just stops at 50%.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] nicopi:
Okay thanks, Can I do It with the global stable?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sachin:
Yerp. It doesn't really matter whatever the Rom you use! You can unlock oem on any MIUI ROM, all you've to do is, just wait!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] DAusRon:
yes, i,ve unlocked it using global stable 8.2.2. But make sure right after you got the permission to unlock, bind your account to your device in dev settings. Ignore the chinese error message if it pop-up. Then wait for 3-5 days.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sachin:
Good sir, everyone (99%) faced this error while binding mi account, that really doesn't matter. Ignore the error, wait 5 days and give it a try with an updated unlock tool. :good:
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] mpatate:
After unlock my device, I don't have any other option than "Charge only" when I plug the phone.

If i activate developpers options and select PTP or MTP, that don't change anything.

Any idea ?

(and thanks for the tutorial to unlock my bootloader, I receive the SMS in the minutes and I only have to wait 8 hours to unlock the bootloader).

Edit : can we put the option OEM unlock back after the operation ?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] mpatate:
And it works ;)

I have already unlocked a Redmi Note 3 Pro previously. So, when I logon en.miui.com/unlock, I am directly redirected to the Mi Unlock tool page without being able to ask for unlock for my RN4.

Hello,

I have a redmi note 3 and i have bought many in past for friends and family.

Two month ago, i received 2 RN4P for brother and friend. I had the message "binding time it too short, less than 72 hours". I have found a way to unlock with old version V1.1 I think.

Yesterday, I received a RN4P for an other little brother. I tried to unlock it with old version and it's not work...Stuck at 50%. This trick don't work now. You must use the latest version and wait 72H! I tried again few minutes ago. I have the message "binding time it too short, less than 50 hours" and stuck at 99%.

I read that some people talk about one week!! I hope i will be able to unlock bootloader in 50 hours because I must give the phone this weekend!

I don't know why we need to wait 72H but it's really boring. I don't like MIUI, I bought RN4P because it's very cheap and good quality product but every time, I install Lineage OS.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sachin:
Oh boy, few days ago Xiaomi started to restrict the user to bind their account inorder to unlock their bootloader. But it wasn't an issue until they introduced this. So, that's true that you've to bind your account to unlock oem, you may see some errors or success. If you face errors don't worry, ignore those errors and try after 1 week, if your account gets bind atbl first go then just unlock it.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] multidude1000:

Unlock OEM in developer settings

Hi.

I have a problem with Unlock OEM switch in developer settings, everytime when I turn it on and exit settings, then go back, Unlock OEM option is turned off. It's a problem?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sachin:
Did you unlock bootloader already? Or still locked?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] elessar18:
Still locked, 3 days ago it stuck at 99% and leaved it alone. Then I read this thread, and I decided to wait two more days.

-i have permission for 3 months now

-i bound my device via developer settings (3 days ago)

-I'm always logged into xiaomi account, synchronize, also I done locating device few times.

I have newest MI Unlock program, verify always successful, only problem was 99% thing.

In waiting time I'm just confused about auto turn off option "Unlock OEM"

One more question: android\miui version does matter in unlocking bootloader?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] k3lcior:
After binding device you have to wait 72hours before unlocking.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] elessar18:
Outdated, already unlocked and I flashed new ROM
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] ananthakrshnan10:
For faster permission and unlock, be active in the MIUI global forum. Trust me on this. I got my permission in like within 1 to 2 hours. I never got the device to bind into the account but I had the OEM unlock enabled. So had the 99% error again and again. After 7th day, I worked for me. Though that period seemed very long. There is a miui thread dedicated where you can post to get update (post in en.miui.com and not c.miui.com). as I said earlier, patience is the key. For the OEM Unlock auto disable, why not try a factory data reset or flash a beta build. I flashed a beta (7.7.13, I think) on a locked bootloader via updater. It would show you unable to verify error, but try again and again. Remember, flashing beta will erase everything including internal memory. So I advice you to have backup on cloud or in a OTG or a PC before that. I have heard that beta build are better for unlocking the boatloader and I have experienced it. so I definitely recommend it.
