Hi Guys, a small question :)

I've prepared everything for the unlock, the permission went yesterday.

When I tried to do the unlock MiUnlock said that my device is already unlocked and it really is :o flashed TWRP already and everything is fine.

Is this Xiaomi already unlocked or someone did that?

The seller is a really trusted one, a lot of people buying from him so its strange

Running Miui 8.2 stable, an update to 8.5 went today, also no bloatware here.

Hi guys, I wanna ask about naming.. I have the same nickname on Mi account on the phone and the forum, but I used my real name when requesting bootloader unlocking permission; does it matter? or do we need to use the same name across all three? (request, phone, forum)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] ananthakrshnan10:
In order for easy unlocking, add only one device in one Mi account. multiple devices will cause confusing in unlock the device

Patience is the key. Wait for atleast a week. If you face 86012 error, flash a developer ROM via updater and try unlocking.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] ehsan_zt:
I got stuck at the last step when trying to request unlock.

I wrote my reason to unlock, click next, it says its sending a verification code to my phone. I receive this verification and when I click next it says : 您所在的IP申请次数超标

I've tried all the things mentioned here, I even used vpn and proxies to change my ip, nothing seems to work , plz help :(

Hello everyone. I have read all 32 pages in this discussion. I bought a red note 4 snapdragon version with band 20 i Still the bootloader locked! Currently Monto Global stable 8.5.4.0 After an Ota update. I made a regular request to unlock the bootloader, I removed from my account my worm 2 wcdma and 2 rush notes leaving only the notes rush 4. Through my unlock the procedure stops at 99% with a message saying to try again In 60 hours. I have read many tutorials on the network to unlock this blessed bootloader, last this xda! The program unlocks me smoothly to my account, if I go to i.mi.com from my pc, I can not login! The web page crashes. If I login from the smartphone everything goes OK! I can get into my cloud. I hope that in 60/72 hours, the unlocking procedure ends successfully at 100% I do not want to put a new rom without first installing the twrp.

Hello Guys,

I have recently bought RN4 .. and Want to unlock the bootloader so I heading to MIUI Unlock page..and Submit my reason .. and Got approved by Xiamoi at 15-08-17 and Bind My Account in My Device I'm on MIUI 9 DEV ROM ... But when I try to unlock Through MIUI Unlock Tool it's Shows Account is not currently bound with this device .. I'm using the same account..but shows me this Error ...so what I should I do now ?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sachin:
Now, you should wait 5 more days and try again.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] MayankMathur:
Is it necessary to flash the beta ROM before unlocking?

Also, while applying I couldn't use my nickname as it contained numbers, so I had to enter my name (same as above). Will it really make problem? What should I do in case?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sachin:
Nothing to worry mate, there's no need to flash different Rom to get unlocked. Just wait 5-7 days. Wait the worth.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] BubuXP:
I received the SMS that I've been granted the permission to unlock my device 2 minutes after sending the request to apply.

Is it a new record? :D

EDIT: now I just have to wait 72 hours before unlocking the bootloader with the Mi Unlock tool (that's what the tool says).
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] MayankMathur:
I applied for the permission yesterday evening and this morning I got it. Is there anything more for which I've to wait? (5-7 days).
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sachin:
Nothing works unless you wait, Cuz that's how Xiaomi unlocking method works.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] MayankMathur:
So, I set up everything as stated in OP. Now whenever I try to do, it stops at 99% saying current account is not bound to the device and asks to go to Settings > Dev. Options > Mi Unlock Status, the process which I've done like a 100 times till now and every-time get an affirmative response. Am I missing something? I've my MIUI account logged on the phone.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] The_Overthinker:
Just give it some time bro. Even I got the 99% error even though I added my device from Mi Unlock status option in settings. Just don't try anything and wait for 3-4 days, let their servers update. It'll work ;)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] ehsan_zt:
Success !!!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] hoshang.govil12:
I have one question, I'm running MiUi8.5.4.0 on RN4(SD). If Unlock Bootloader, will it erase all data, or will it remain intact.

Earlier, On RN3(SD), Unlocking Bootloader didn't erased any data. So, I'm asking, because after Nougat update, maybe things might be changed. Will be glad if any one confirm.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stevica Smederevac:
You will not lose data.

Too much activity in your IP address.try again after sometime
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Analroyc:
i can't unlock my redmi note 4 it shows that "Current account is not bound to device"
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sachin:
You should've searched before asking this question, it's been 100th+ times this has been answered.

The solution is to download fly vpn from Playstore and run the app, connect to Shanghai server, next go to your device settings > mi unlock status > look at the bottom > there's an option like add your mi account / bind your account or smth like that. Tap it and choose your mi account. Once it's done, just ignore whatever the error you may see. Now, wait few more days and try again.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] laida9396:
I always get a Chinese writing like this "您所在的IP申请次数超
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sachin:
" The number of IP requests you have exceeded"

Try connecting to a VPN. Not sure tho.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ckani:
Under your settings there is a Mi account number for your phone. When you first setup your phone it asks what password you want to use. Under both the website and the unlocking tool log in with the account number under settings>mi and use the password you used when setting up your phone. When you send in a request it links that account number to the mi website and your phone. My unlocking request went through immediately. The unlocking tool asks for email or phone number but I put in the mi account number and hit the x behind country code to remove it so only my mi account number is used for a username.

On my first attempt I made many mistakes and kept getting too many sms errors and too many attempts through IP address. I used my mother's phone and had them send sms to her phone and used her data on the phone to unlock. As long as you use your account number and password for the phone everywhere you can unlock from any device with internet connection.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] MayankMathur:
It's been 4 days now. Everytime process stops at 99%. I've attached an image showing what happens when I try to bind my account to phone. I don't know why it stops at 99% saying that account is not attached to the phone though I've done it hundreds of times.

Please tell me if this is usual or unusual?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] pyshydv:
same problem with me
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] shanky0129:
Wait a little more....
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] nilanko:
Like everyone else out here, I got my permission to unlock within 1 hour of requesting. I was happy AF. Then, while trying to unlock the bootloader, I was slapped by that $hitty "account not bound to this device" error. I felt lucky AF when it went past 50% but nah... Xiaomi won't let me unlock my bootloader and got me hanging at 99%. This is $hitty AF. Like you have to first get the stupid "permission" to unlock (seriously? I own this device, I have the right to do anything with it anytime I want!). OK, fine, they gave me that so-called permission quickly (big thanks to whoever approved mine).

Now that I have read many posts, I have found out that I need to wait an indefinite number of days before I can actually unlock! That sucks big time.

Motorola is way better in this regards. Lets us unlock in no time.

Anyway, my question is, what is the minimum time people have waited after getting the permission before they could actually unlock the bootloader? Some say wait 3 days, some say 5, some say 7. Someone even said they could unlock it the next day! So what's the minimum wait time?

I haven't got free time to wait for this stupidity. I had free time today so I thought of unlocking it quickly but to no avail.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] The_Overthinker:
It took me about 2 days of wait to add my device to mi account from the Mi Unlock Status option in developer settings. After that I tried to unlock after 3 further days and it worked for me. It's really difficult to give an exact deadline, it really depends on the Xiaomi servers. Sony was way easier to unlock too. But it's worth the wait, trust me, custom roms are great :)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] nilanko:
If I keep trying everyday, will that push the wait further? Some people are saying not to try again and again, that can get it even more delayed. Is that true?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] The_Overthinker:
That's what I had read when I was trying to unlock as well. And that's what I did. Restrained myself from touching it for a few days. And it worked. So yeah, I'd recommend you do the same
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] nilanko:
I spent hours reading each and every post in this thread and found out that half of the guys could actually unlock within hours of receiving permission! I tried every way mentioned by these guys but nothing worked at all. How did these guys manage to unlock? And why are we the unlucky ones stuck at 99%? What kind of joke is this (..Xiaomi)?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] MayankMathur:
Hey guys! Thank you all. Finally I was able to unlock it just a few minutes ago. And it's unlocked right now. Thanks all.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] laida9396:
How you did it?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] MayankMathur:
Well I followed the steps. Ask for permission. Enable OEM Unlocking and USB Debugging. Wait for a few days (some hours in my case) to get permission and then again a few days (5 days in my case) so that the official tool can unlock bootloader (it always stuck at 99% in my case).

Well, that's all I can say. Hit thanks if you got it :D.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] nilanko:
Whoa 5 days? That sucks. Did you try unlocking in between those 5 days? Or straight after 5 days? Lol I'm sitting like an idiot waiting for the days to pass so that I can unlock :v Only 1 day has passed yet :v
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] MayankMathur:
I checked each and every day. On 4th day I was too much frustrated and posted on this thread (you can read earlier posts). Well, as sachin says, it's worth the wait. I extensively read other threads and tutorials before all this. So, I got no error at 50%. 99% error was probably hard luck. Anyway, it's worth the wait. ?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] sameerh743@gmail.com:
Just got the unlock permission today when i try to unlock now it's getting failed after 99% with an error current account is not bound to this device by i did bound it from developer options Should i wait for few days or its something else
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Boomshiva:
Sit back and relax . Wait for few days . :)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] laida9396:
It's been 3 days now and just 10 minutes ago I tried to get the permission but the website still show some kind of Chinese message pop-up.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] MayankMathur:
Copy that Chinese message and translate using Google Translate. It's that simple, I also had one such message, it meant wrong CAPTCHA :P (for me). There are multiple messages (like too much requests from same IP etc.), try translating yours. Hope it helped!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] sameerh743@gmail.com:
Thanks
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] laida9396:
Yeah, it means too much requests from my IP, but I don't do anything on that website. What should I do ? Wait for few more days to get the same message ? That's suck man.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] MayankMathur:
Either wait for a few days or use a proxy or a VPN or something like that to change your IP.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] hitman72:
this fact to wait 72 hours to unlock the device with MiFlashUnlock is unbelievable and ridiculous at the same time. i am sorry, the phone seems (?) good but for now is only a paperweight. other phones in 5 minutes you have recovery, root, custom room etc. (of course is my fault, one always have to read some forum before buy new phone), this is the first and last time that I buy a xiaomi...
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] laida9396:
I'm succesfully get the unlock permission. I tried one day one time in five days. This afternoon I got the unlock permisson 5 minutes after I sent the permission request.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] laida9396:
I just had successfully unlocked my Redmi 3S only in just one try. But it takes 5 days to get the unlock permission. Anyway it's worth the wait. ?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] MayankMathur:
Creating images of a brand just on the basis of a single incident is actually ridiculous. I'm not a fan boy or something, I hate MIUI too, but you see, you don't get these specs in this price range from any other brand. That's the damn reason people buy Xiaomi, and that's the damn reason I've also bought one. Sometimes good things come with a catch, that 72 hour wait is the catch!

Same here bro. 4th goddamn day :)

If it were at least fixed to 72 hours, it'd have been fine, atleast we would know when we can unlock. But here, the wait is literally indefinite. [MENTION=6800380]sachin n[/MENTION] said he had to wait 15 f**king days! :)

Haha yeah. You've to wait at least 5-7 days.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] nilanko:
Guys. 5 days of wait are over. Still can't unlock. It was not worth the wait. I deeply regret buying this piece of crap. It's like paperweight for me now worth 13k. I feel cheated and fooled. This is seriously bullsh*t.

@sachin n I had one more question.. Do we need to have the SIM card in the phone before we can unlock?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sachin:
Not really.

You can try signout your mi account and reboot few times and sign-in again, try unlocking.

Try biding your mi account.

Try locating your device at i.mi.com

Uninstall drivers and reinstall

Uninstall mi unlock tool and reinstall
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] nilanko:
Tried all this just now, didn't work.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sachin:
Am outta ideas :crying:
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] nilanko:
Thanks a lot for your help. I have good news. I just got it unlocked. Here's how (for those who are stuck even after 5 days can try this):

I put the SIM card in the phone (number which is registered with the MI account and then there is some activation procedure carried out to bind the number to your account which involves sending some SMS from the phone that is done automatically).

Once my number was registered with my account, I factory reset my phone.

During the setup, simply key in your MI account details and everything.

Go the developer options, you'll find OEM unlocking already enabled if you had previously enabled it, but just switch it off and on just to be sure.

Also enable USB debugging and then tap on Mi Unlock status and bind your account there. Once it's done, reboot into fastboot.

Try unlocking. I got it immediately unlocked.

So if you are stuck, try factory resetting your phone, that did the trick for me.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sachin:
Finally!! Congrats! :good:
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] laida9396:
On developer options

•Turn on the USB Debugging

•Turn on the OEM unlock

•Bid your Mi Account

•Update your PC's chipset driver

•Install Qualcomm and ADB Driver

I succeeded unlocking in one try

i've checked the miui profile and name, email id and phone number are matching in profile and in phone.

also i get an error whenever i click developer options > mi unlock status >add account and device (86012: device does not exist)

what about this error ? and i have disabled signature verification on my laptop (windows 10) as well

should i try downloading the developer ROM ?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] naturist:
Dam, I never thought this could be the reason. I used the same ac to unlock which was used for RN3. :(

Created another ac with same username in forum/application and applied for permission. I hope it gets approved soon.

I haven't even setup lockscreen/fingerprint until I unlock the bootloader. It's lying unused with only MI account setup with no applications. :D
