Why don't you guys that succeeded in unlocking the phone write the exact version of the ROM that is installed on the phone. I'm not comfortable with opening my phone and playing with inside circuits, but I'd really like to unlock the bootloader and flash other ROMs.

The guy posted (2 post above yours) he unlocked his device bootloader has global rom 9.2.6.0. Two weeks ago he posted he got the permission to unlock and I believe his 360 hrs wait already over and now successfully unlocked.

I have the same ROM version and another 13 days to go to see if unlocking is successful or not.

You can instal v9.2.6.0 through TWRP. Also you have eu roms and miglobe roms that are most customizable and optimized for non-chinese users

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] n0_xQuZe:
I had a fake rom on my phone 9.2.6.0.0 and i couldnt do anything so the only thing that was left for me was test point method.

I did the test point method and installed chinese developer rom 8.3.8 succesfully, then i bind my account with my phone and started mi unlock tool, it says to wait 360 hours so now we wait :D. If you have any questions i may be able to answer.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] XavierBrian:

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] n0_xQuZe:
you must install the right drivers my friend, but you must first disable windows driver signature enforcement.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/n28n8f1g12lbhg5/xdi_1.0.3.exe?dl=0

download this program and follow the instructions, press 1 to disable the signature enforcement, restart your pc then run the program again and press 3 to install all the qualcomm drivers. then mi flash will recognise your phone.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] Stampyron:
How long you waited until you got the permission to unlock? And also, did you get permission before you bind account? Because when I try to bind my account now it errors 86006, but I haven't got permission yet, asked for it yesterday. Maybe I have to install the china developer ROM.

Also, when I check in settings>mi account>account security>devices I see my current device, does that mean the account is already binded with the phone?

Sorry for asking so many questions. I've unlocked my redmi note 4 before but I hardly remember how I did it:silly:

---------- Post added at 12:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:25 PM ----------

And I'm running global stable rom
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] n0_xQuZe:
I already had permission to unlock in my account becauseni had unlocked anither xiaomi phone in the past. If you have a new account usually when you apply for permission you get a reply message in your phone in 1-2 days, it used to be 10-30 days but now it is only 1-2. If youbget error 86006 you should try tonuse the vpn method, if that doesnt work then your only solution is to try test point method and intall chinese developer rom.

To bind your account you must go in developer options/Mi unlock status and click bind. Your phone showing in mi account security doesnt mean anything.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] cajarana:
Global Stable ROM in here (the official one), did bind my account with success in developer options / MI unlock status.

Did try a few moments ago the miflash unlock, says I have to wait 192 hours to unlock.

Also when I go to here http://en.miui.com/unlock/, login with the same account i have on my redmi 5 plus ,it redirects me to download the mi unlock tool. Does this mean I have permission to unlock my phone?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] n0_xQuZe:
Yes my friend you already have permission from your account, but you still have to wait for 360 hours when you apply for the unlock.

BTW. I'm wondering why I get the 86006 error when I try to bind the account with my phone. Maybe because I already have permission?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] Kookaburra88:
Its a common issue whilst on official global ROM 9.2.6. It probably will be solved in the upcoming update.

My opinion is, in the end of the 360 hours, the phone Will not unlock with miflash unlock tool. I think is a problem with the global stable rom. Hoping im wrong.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] niels_kievits:
That's correct, you need either china dev (test point) or wait for global dev.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] Stampyron:
But some people managed to unlock successfully using global stable ROM?

Yeah that's true, the latest OTA has some people unlock, but it's few. Test Point is the surest way still.

Edit: I've got the update too, maybe that will fix the error?:confused:
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] ckpv5:
I'm a very new user when it comes to xiaomi device. I never have error 86006 but I did have error 10006 with some chinese words follow by API when tried to bind.

Then after reading this thread & I noted that I need to apply to unlock permission first which I did on Mar 8th. After about 6 hrs, received the approval and tried to bind again. I got that network error & try again pop-up.

Reading the faq in unlocking bootloader site where I downloaded the unlock tool, it is advised to sign out from Mi account in settings and sign in back. I did follow the advise then managed to bind the acount in one try after I did sign out & in Mi account.

Used the unlock tool to unlock, here I am still have 9 waiting days to proceed further.

As redmi 5 plus is my first xiaomi device, the phone no. registered to unlock is the one on the phone. Any possibility that you get 86006 error because the no. on the phone is different from one you registered ? As you said you used your previous xiaomi ac on this new device.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] Stampyron:
I opened a new account and got permission yesterday but still error 86006. Tried VPN, tried signed out and signed back in, doesn't work. I'll try updating my MIUI to the latest version, see if it will help.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Guides, News, & Discu] Alex_Felix:
Don't do any flashing if you come from unofficial global rom. You must unlock the bootloader first, otherwise you'll end up bricking your r5p. But if you come from official global rom you can proceed with MiFlash tool or easily via system updater (OTA update).

Updated to global dev rom, went quickly through the setup, login my my account during setup, then enable dev options, bind account, SUCCESFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Recommend everybody that have the 86006 issue to update to the global dev rom. If you don't know how to update, here's the steps.

1. Download the zip file here http://bigota.d.miui.com/8.3.15/miui_HM5PlusGlobal_8.3.15_e69c117bf5_7.1.zip

2. Go to updater app, press choose update package. Let it run. NOTE: For me it seems that after decrypting the zip file, it won't let you install the zip file anymore. So either you duplicate the zip file, or you make sure you backup everything as it will erase EVERYTHING in your device when you update to the latest global dev rom.

3. Let it do it's thing, sit back, grab some coffee

4. Just skip through everything you can in the setup

5. When it asks you to login your mi account, just login

6. Then go to about phone and tap miui version until you enable dev options

7. Go to dev options and bind your account! (Make sure OEM unlocking is enabled, it's enabled by default for me though)

Btw, my phone is MEG7, so this may or may not work for your device

---------- Post added at 12:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:28 AM ----------
