I had tried that, but no success..

Although recently Xiaomi had removed the authentication with their servers, so for all users who were getting this error, they unlocked their devices, including me..

Although from what I heard, it was supposed to be for few days. Not sure if still unlocking doesn't require authentication..

This post was edited by ENROD at 03:02, Jul-29-2018

Hello. I had a problem when I unlocked the bootloader of my RN5 Global with stable global ROM MIUI9, which had never happened to me. As I already had the account put on 10 devices, (I have xiaomis since 2014, and all my family) before unlocking with My Unlock, I closed session on the device, unlocking without problems, but the reboot from the MiUnlock, has been restarted, and is on, because if I put the volume down the curtain volume and silent mode, but I get the black screen with the logo of MI and the message "Encrypting, don't reboot your device" and takes an hour. Some help?. Thank you.

I now applied for the 360 hour waiting game :/

Just such a bad move by Xiaomi... 24 hours, fine, but 360? Wtf...

Anyway, just to clear some things:

Is there a tracker of how much time has passed? Or can I just try again and it'll tell me the time?

Hey guys, I'm trying to unlock bootloader with MiUnlock tool but I keep getting Unknown Error 90000. Tried to google but no luck how to fix it.

What i noticed is when i go in dev options to turn on Enable OEM unlock, and after that MiUnlock status and Add account. If after that i return to previous menu in dev options Oem unlocking option will be grey again and disabled. I tried Enabling and turning phone right away but I'm afraid maybe that is the problem?

Is that a normal behavior that slider gets disabled after changing of menu or just simple going back to homescreen.

EDIT: Disabling dev options and enabling them again i managed to get OEM Unlocking to stay on all the time but still getting same error.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Ovakisan:
You need to create account on micloud and connect/confirm it with phone number. and also login to that account on phone

Just follow the guides and those parts that are missing ignore them because they changed a bit the unlocking process to make it simpler

Hi everyone,

is there any way at all to unlock the bootloader of the Redmi Note 5 Pro (whyred) without giving xiaomi a phone number? I absolutely don't want to do that and it's the one thing keeping me from buying one (well, and the ARB isn't helping, but I could probably deal with that without bricking).

OK... for better or worse I ordered a new "Global" Redmi Note 5 from Amazon yesterday, it will be here tomorrow. I've already created two different Xiaomi user accounts with completely different info, emails, etc. One is based on my mobile phone number as login, the other using a email (different email than the recovery email used in the "phone number" account.

I plan to immediately (or ASAP) install TWRP, a custom ROM, etc. I've read all of the horror stories about getting the bootloader unlocked, although it's not clear that this problem applies to all phones/countries/regions. What can I realistically expect... a 30 day wait for approval to unlock the bootloader, or is there a smarter way now? Any magic process that will allow me to get the job done easily? Thanks!

Unfortunately phone number (and SIM card) is a must. You need to add it to Mi Account. They will send you a verification code through SMS

Don't worry. They won't spam You with useless SMS messages after that. And the verification code isn't a premium SMS message either

Buying Xiaomi Devices from resellers comes with a hight risk, that they will come with modified MIUi build filled with ads and spyware and fake unlocked bootloader (and instead of global version of the phone, you can receive a Chinese version flashed with modified global ROM).

There is a guide how to fix "fake bootloader unlock" but you will have to blind Your phone to MIUI account, add your"s phone number to the account and wait 720h to truely unlock the bootloader after all

But as long as that reseller guarantees that box is factory sealed - You are save
