That was also my situation when my phone arrived. I went straight to flash TWRP, lazy flasher, and supersu. All is well ...

Alright, friend. Thank you.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mogten:
Hi friends, I installed TWRP and flashed lazy flasher, rebooted the device, then I downloaded super su from play store. But it appears my phone is not rooted. Super su is telling me there's no su binary installed. Can anyone help me with a way around this?

Thanks!

Flash SuperSU in TWRP.

is it okay to do on global stable rom??? please tell yes because i dont know hot to go on devloper rom!!!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] nandakalyan:
if your device status already says unlocked, under Developer options, you can go on and flash TWRP.

I unlocked/flashed/rooted all on 8.2.5 global, not sure if its MM or N.

the old unlock tool is a google search away, but here it is anyway, you'll need to sign in to the forum with your mi id

do i need to put the same sim in which i got unlock permission
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sachin:
Apparently, yah!

Before giving a first attempt, try to bind your mi account using fly vpn connected.

Next, go to https://i.mi.com and use the find my device option.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] kirpeace:
i tried flyvpn but it also gives the error 86012 . i am using other sim in this mobile registered in my account. the sim in which i got message is in another mobile. trying in global 8.2.5.0 rom. i have connected the mi account through the sim no. old miunlocker gives error about different accounts used in device and new is stuck at 99%.

Binding is not necessary for unlock, just give it 6 to 7 data after you get unlock permission and use the old unlock tool. I haven't even put a sim card in the mobile, and still unlocked on 8.2.5 global stable ROM

I used earlier version of MI Unlock and did the trick with FlyVPN and the effect is I have now unlocked bootloader on standard ROM, not China Developer.

Thanks for tutorial :)

Hi,

can someone explain me this line :

What do I google ?

What do I fix ??

Thanks for all the work :)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] chaitu50c:
Google it for driver signature enforcement. But you don't need to do that if you are using windows 7

So no need to google anything. No need to do any fix. Just unlock by connecting
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] kenlee97:
hello, i manage to get the confirmation and i can succesfully login to mi unlock, but the unlock button can't be pressed. I am in bootloader already and adb detect my device, but somehow the mi unlock didn't. Can you help me? Thanks!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Micheal86:
Thank you for your most valuable and informative post.

I`ve done everything,you suggested. But still can`t unlock bootloader. It stucks at 50%. I`ve got unlock permission before 6 days back. Still now I can`t do the same. And I also have account binding issue (86012) in Mi Unlock Status Option.

BTW, I`ve Mi Max Prime(128gb) with latest Global Stable MIUI Rom.

I really don`t understand what I`m missing ?

Any suggestions/advice will be highly appreciable.

BTW, just for sharing,I`m totally new to Xiaomi. Previously I`d Sony,Nexous 6P and other devices and I`d not a single issue for unlocking the bootloader. But here I see a completely new different story - I think it`s nothing but a project. Well done Xiaomi !
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Micheal86:
Thanks for sharing.

I`ve tried your technic. I`ve choose Shanghai Server ( as you mentioned).But same 86012 error in Mi Unlock Status Option and can`t link my Miui Account.

I`ve tried atleast 100 times with different Servers (China and Hon kong), but everytime it remains the same (86012).
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] yashgumaste:

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

I don't have screen lock set, also no fingerprint. But a app lock in settings which can't be disabled. Is there need to factory reset?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sachin:
Lol no.

You should just use your phone for 3-5 days, don't change any username or whatever, just stick with the current setup and few days later try unlocking your phone.

I repeat no need to change nickname, and just DL Fly VPN from Playstore and run the app with Shanghai sever connected then try binding your account, if it's shows an error just ignore it.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] jamez001:
Unlock button is disable

I recently buy a redmi note 4x (SD variant) and i can already use adb and fastboot commands. I also disable the driver signature verification in my Windows 10. But when i use the MI unlock tool, unlock button is not clickable. Is this a still a driver issue?

Please advise.

Or are there any other option to unlock bootloader without the use of unlock tool, like in redmi 3s that have unlock bootloader.zip something.

Note, I tried it in Global version 8.5 and even in Developer version 7.5.25 and still no luck :(
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Micheal86:
I`m totally agree with you.

The only KEY of booloader unlocking is WAIT, WAIT and WAIT.

Done. :good:

I`ve unlocked bootloader after 7 days of getting permissiom.

Thank you so much for your help.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Micheal86:
Thanks.

But I need one more help form you.

Really.

After unlocking the bootloader, I tried to install TWRP in my device.

I`ve made all the pre-requisites(i.e ADB Drivers,Device Setup and PC setup).

But whenever I tried to install TWRP (twrp-3.1.1-0-helium and rename it as "recovery.img) in CMD with ADB command "fastboot flash recovery img", it always shows "can`t open recovery img".

Would you share what I`m Missing ?

Thank you for your help.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sachin:
Damnit! Why did you flash different device's recovery.img?

DL the recovery.img from here and flash it.

Link :- https://dl.twrp.me/mido/twrp-3.1.1-0-mido.img.html
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Micheal86:
I`m extremely sorry.

I just want to know from you.

I`ve Xiaomi MI MAX PRIME(128gb) and I know it`s as helium (may be wrong).

Would you pls clear my doubts ?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sachin:
Oops, I thought you're redmi note 4 user lol

OK, you need to put recovery.img inside the adb folder
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Micheal86:
Yap. I did it.

Fastboot command recognize the device.

But whenever I tried to install TWRP with ADB command, it always say " can`t open recovery img".

this is here guys worked like charm .. :D :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D ...huge thumbs up brother
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] TigerKing:
Try installing minimal ADB installer from XDA link

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2588979

Install it, do as per instruction there..

Then keep everything in one folder.

Change recovery name to "recovery" or leave as it is.

Open that folder, hold shift key and right click.

Then click on "open command prompt window here" or

"Open powershell window here"

Then try this

ADB devices
ADB reboot bootloader
Fastboot devices
fastboot flash recovery "recovery-file-name".img

if you opened these CMD or powershell anywhere else or any other method, then you can drag and drop recovery to command prompt or in powershell.

**"Use drag and drop instead of writing full path manually.**

Thanks for sharing.

I`ve done all the steps , you recommended.

But after flashing Latest Version of SuperSu in TWRP, when I reboot device , it booting for about 15 mins. I don`t understand what`s happening?

What shaould I do ?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] TigerKing:
Ok, 1st of all, when you flash TWRP, then you have to press volume up + power button and go recovery.

Then flash lazyflasher (no variety check) zip file.

It will not stuck in bootloop. :good:
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Micheal86:
It`s done.

It`s fine now.

But one thing to share that I`d not flash lazyflasher (no verity check) zip file yet. I just format data in TWRP. And now it`s working fine.

I can access TWRP and take nandroid backup.

Should I flash the above said file ?

Thanks for sharing.

Just got this phone yesterday and already started work to unlock it haha!

Thanks for the thread and step by step process. Followed near enough to the tee and got my device unlocked. I did muck up the forum name so deleted my MI account and made a new one - entirely my fault.

I actually managed to get the permissions within a few hours which was a surprise.

One other issue I had was "binding time is too short mi unlock" - was saying something like 70+ hours. Quick google search, used a different MI Unlock and it worked. Phone showing unlocked now.

Time to get some mido TWRP on this baby, yeeeee-haaaa!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] ridersam:

that issue could be persisting because of distinct nickname so the only thing you can do is create a new account and use its user name as the nickname while applying for unlock permission and then wait for 5-7 days right after getting permission granted message, then unlock.

Hi guys i want to share my experience and steps i underwent to unlock the bootloader.

It was pissing experience but at last unlocked.

1) i got the permission msg to unlock on 16-06

2) the i tried everyday to unlock morning as well as evening but no success

3)then tday 21-05 i tried in the morning as well. But no luck.

4) then in the i got an idea that worked and unlocked my device

5) first i opened my browser logged in to my account which was same as that in the phone. Then located my device.. Made noise.

6) then i opened miunlock tool. Logged in with same account

7) keep ur browser open with website open and logged in i.mi.com

8) then keep both window for sometime

9)then power off ur phone. Go into fastboot mode.

10)then keep it connected for sometime.

Then try unlock.

Thats wer the magic happened and now im a free bird.

I unlocked using the latest unlock tool. 2.2.4....

Just keep both window open and logged in in both miunlock tool as well as i.mi.com

I think the above trick worked for me. Try if ur stuck at 99%

Saying 'current account is not bound to the device'.

And lastly **** the add account and device error . Just leave it.

Or do I have to update to Nougat first ? (if so, how to ?)

I'm also facing the same problem!! Did u solve it?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] schlagg:
Ok,

But what do you mean by taking many days ?

When I use last version of MiUnlock with my Global Rom, it stuck at 99% with message : Could not unlock binding time is too short : 72h (time is decreasing every hour ....)

Does it meanI have to wait 72h before trying?

I tried an older version of MiUnlock (v1.1.1111.11231), but it failed at 50% with "Couldn't verify device - please upgrade Unlock Tool"

Thanks.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sachin:
Yep. Unlocking bootloader on mi devices is PIA. Every time you try you'll just ends up getting errors. If you failed to unlock bootloader few times then you've to wait few days. Like 5-7 days.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] schlagg:
When you say : accounts nams must be the same.

How can Icheck that ?

Thanks.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sachin:
Don't worry about that. Just wait few days and you'll get your phone unlocked. Do not try every now and then.

And also, download fly VPN from Playstore and try biding your account with shanghai server connected, if you get an error just ignore it.

As you can see, only wait the worth. :D
