Have you checked point A.4.c.? Can you see your smartphone in your computer?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] vvaz:
I see this:
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] senerex:
Yes, you can see your device. If your smartphone has been connencted to your Mi Account for more than 72h then pls try some other (maybe chinese) unlock tool or other computer.

Ok i had to format the PC and when i did it i tried again to unlock the phone and it worked fine with the unlock tool you linked. :good:
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] zerodi:
After 72 Hours still couldn't Verify :(

Hi Guys so I received my mi mix 2 72 hours ago, bound my account to the phone in dev options, logged in online to miui, cloud etc and on the phone , enabled usb debuging

Used MiFlash latest version 2.8.3 - Then i saw theres a new 3.3.4 Version - Signed in Clicked unlock went all the way to 100% then said wait 72 Hours...... Ok now ive waited

Been trying and 20 times im getting " Couldn't Verify Device' Unknown Error (-1) "

Im used to flashing and unlocked and this is first time a xiaomi device has done this, Ive checked and adb devices are working.... BUT when i boot to fastboot and fastboot devices its blank , ive installed the ADB drivers and the xiaomi usb drivers over and over again... Windows is in test mode, Windows 10 64bit test mode.

Fast boot devices is always blank...... Any Ideas.........Oh and i was on global stable, now ive updated to the latest global Dev 8.0 rom from miui website - Still no luck

:confused::confused::rolleyes:
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] zerodi:
Ok so ive narrowed it down to the USB-C cable, is not keeping fastboot active

Ive just tried it with a redmi 5 device with old micro usb and fastboot devces gets picked up every attempt....

My mi mix 2 detects fastboot for a few seconds then seems to go off..... Very strange and also annoying
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] senerex:
Original cable (if it is not damaged) should actually keep fastboot active. Strange indeed. Pls try with a different USB-C cable.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] zerodi:
I've tried with a USB c cable from my Lumia 950 and another pc but no luck

I've ordered a USB to micro USB adapter , maybe then u can try other cables

Thing is , when I first received the mi mix 2 I got to 100% on mi unlock then it said wait 72 hours , if it's under 72 hours will it give this error ??
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] zerodi:
Ok so I installed windows again fresh and I unlocked the device BUT when I check in unlock status is still says DEVICE IS LOCKED ! ? How can that be.... Ive tried 2x

nightmare... and now fast devices is f***king blank again !

I have tried several cables even just brought a micro usb - usb c adaptor

There is a problem when I start the software MiFlash Unlock - It Cuts my fastboot connection, I have no idea why.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] jhs39:
Are you running MIFlash Unlock in administrator mode?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] zerodi:
I've done both , with admin rights and without , no success ... Fastboot devices just stops working
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] senerex:
I'm sorry to hear that you are still not succesfull in unlocking the bootloader. It seems to me that something is broken in your firmware. Then maybe the right solution would be to start from zero: flash the original Xiaomi firmware in fastboot mode (rom here: http://en.miui.com/a-234.html) via MIUI ROM Flashing Tool and then unlock bootloader. Before you do this pls save your data and charge your battery +80%.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] zerodi:
Thank you but reading that page , it states devices marked with a 'star' are locked and require unlock first :(

So I guess I cannot flash fastboot room using flashing tool :crying:

So im trying to flash using MiFlash 2017.4.25.0 From the link you gave me................. I get ERROR Can not find Flash_all.bat Fixed by renaming again to an .rar file .. Trying now to flash china stable

- It has been Flashing for 300s seems like it has hang, what shall i do ??:(

500s , still saying flashing.....
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] senerex:
I am quite sure you can flash it in fastboot mode but anyway...

Then try fixing your firmware by updating it through the System-Update:

1. Download the *.zip* file for Mix 2 from here: http://en.miui.com/download-334.html

2. Put it into the internal memory of your smartphone

3. I gues you have already activated Developer Settings.

4. Go to Settings/About Phone/System Update. On the top right you see 3 dots, press them then Choose Update Package/File Manager, then find the firmware in your internal memory, click OK.

5. Try again to unlock bootloader.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] zerodi:
MiFlash tool Did not work tried China and global - Just hangs in flashing, and i test to see if fastboot devices has my device listed but same, its blank... Fastboot is not detecting my device in fastboot mode :(

---------- Post added at 08:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:49 AM ----------

Is it worth trying Flashing back to Android 7.1 , from System Update ? Will that work?

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] senerex:
With locked bootloader in fastboot mode you should be able to flash only the firmware which ist already in your device.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] zerodi:
Thank you, im at work right now but after ill give you a message... I will try at home with a usb-c to usb-c cable i just brought and maybe try down to 7.1 from system update, see if it works... Not work

Ok so it looks like i only go From Global Dev 8.0 to Global Stable 8.0 Cannot go back to 7.1 :(

Ill give my usb-c to usb-c cable a try in fastboot at home as my motherboard has a usbc port
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] zerodi:
Nothing is working , i cannot even go back to Global Stable.... My device is stuck on Global Dev with a corrupted Fastboot wtf :(((((((
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] SaturnsVoid:
Does this still work? I will be getting my Mix 2 in 4 days... I want to root and install Lineage 15.1 on it.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mackay53:
Yes, its the only way to do it
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] zerodi:
Thanks for all your help Senerex :) I think now we know my device has some hardware problem internally so i just soak it up and move on.... I may buy another mi mix 2 and try again, i hope im not getting a lemon twice!! Thank You Sir
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] SaturnsVoid:
Anyone know if there is a way to bypass the wait period? Its says i have to wait 72hrs before i can unlock it... I sent Xiaomi a email asking if they could expedite it but no response yet.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mackay53:
And you won't get one. Its only 3 days, be patient
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] wim69:
Got my Mi Mix 2 yesterday. Asked for permission to unlock two weeks ago, got it within 24 hours. Now waiting 72 hours before unlocking the bootloader.

Front camera placement is a minor issue indeed. But it's a fast, good-looking phone! For just over 300 euros.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] SaturnsVoid:
I got 25hrs left, paid $379.98 on eBay for mine. Its a nice phone for the price for sure. Even comes with a case and screen protector!
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] wim69:
Got it from Banggood, it was worth the two weeks waiting for delivery, for €302. It's a blazing fast phone!

I ordered an Elephone S8 before this one, but I sent it back because of a faulty fingerprintscanner and backlight bleed.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] FauSt3r:
amazing. Thank you for this comprehensive walk through.

Got a question though. I'm running linux on my laptop, Pop!_os to be exactly. Which tools should I use?

Bootloader

Hello , it is necessary to : 5. Request Permission from Xiaomi to Unlock the Bootloader , since i can tick in the seetings Unlock Bootloader , and there is goes blue , i mean unlocked bootloader ? Thanks .
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] senerex:
As I mentioned in the beginning of this AIO, I have used a computer running on Windows 10. Unfortunately I cannot help you with Linux as I don't have a computer running on Linux. Sorry.

Strange behaviour of your smartphone turning blue! Please read point A.4. as how to check if your bootloader is locked or unlocked....
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] guitarbite:
Hi,

I've rooted my mi mix 2... Unlocked bootloader (without unlock permission) and installed twrp all successfully. However after booting up miui my battery didn't want to charge. The phone plugged into the charger showed as charging but battery wasn't charging. Worried I ****ed something up, I relocked my bootloader which factory resets and worked again... Did the permission thing cause this problem?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] adiltapti:
How did you manage to unlock without permission from Xiaomi?

Just downloaded the miui app and unlocked.. It was as easy as I just typed. It... Dunno how as everyone had to go through a ton of work... However my battery stopped charging which was extremely weird...
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] crazyut:
Infamous black screen after flashing recovery then trying to boot the recovery first following 1-6 completed. Now stuck on Step C in the original post (phone is already bootloader unlocked and USB); if I had bothered to read about that before letting the person purchase the phone, I would have prevented it.

Any suggestions?

Update:

Bootloop into fastboot; into the trash it goes.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] senerex:
Looks like something went wrong while flashing twrp. If you cannot enter recover and you cannot see twrp, pls download the fastboot rom from here (http://en.miui.com/a-234.html) and flash it in fastboot mode. Then you can repeat point C. :fingers-crossed:
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] wim69:
Perhaps the bootloader was already unlocked?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] guitarbite:
Nope... I locked it again... All. I did was download the unlock app. On my laptop and unlocked it... I checked oem info before and after... Weird
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jellyfish Gun:
Do I need to format data when I first flash a rom?:confused:
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mackay53:
Yes
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] guitarbite:
So logging in to the mi account to unlock my phone it immediately gave me the option to download the app. And unlock without having any OEM unlock request... I've attached the picture below. Its says download and install. Is that normal?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] wim69:
That's the way I did it as well.

Download and install.

Enable OEM unlocking on your phone in Developer options

Run the tool, it asks for Mi credentials.

Then it will ask to attach your phone in fastboot.

It will bind your phone to your Mi account, percentage will run up to 99% and then it will tell you to wait for 72 hours. At least, that's what happened when I tried it and according to many people on this forum.

Did you run the tool and did it unlock your bootloader without the 72 hours waiting time?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] guitarbite:
Yeah it said unlocked on bootloader screen... No waiting time at all.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] wim69:
Just checked my fastboot screen, it doesn't mention locked or unlocked. I'm giving up on your phone lol. It's unlocked and that's what you were aiming for, right?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] JVMgames:
If i unlock my bootloader and use stock rom will I be able to use Google pay and others stuffs?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] senerex:
If you mean by stock rom the global stable or global developer (which already have google play store pre-installed), then of course you can use google play, even after you unlock the bootloader.

Edit: I misread in your question "google pay" for "google play (store)". Sorry for that.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mackay53:
You need to install magisk and ensure safety net passes. Very easy to do and will allow u to use Google pay
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] JVMgames:
I installed but didn't pass through safety net test :confused:
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mackay53:
Flash maagisk v16 then flash the universal safety net fix after one reboot, Google universal safety net fix to find it
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pokemon69s:
Hi so my question is do I have to do the unlocking bootloader process even if I have the OEM unlock in settings ?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] senerex:
That depends on what do you want to do with your phone. If you want to root or flash a custom rom on your phone then yes, you need to unlock the bootloader.

Edit 01:

Yes you can. Pls read the first page of the AIO. Everything is explained in detail over there.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pokemon69s:
So can I apply for unlocking bootloader without pc ?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] _Drifter_:
If I want to flash an AOSP rom (like lineage out AICP), I need to flash any firmware or just wipe, flash the rom or gapps and all done?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] letmeputdatipin:
Does the OEM unlocking in Dev opt. need to remain on even after unlocking?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] senerex:
Update MIUI to the latest version (usually the developers take the latest MIUI version as basis for the development of the custom rom Lineage, AICP, RR etc.), unlock bootloader (point B), flash twrp (point C), make a "clean" install of the custom rom (Point F). Just follow the steps of the AIO in the first post and you should be fine.

You can decide yourself. I usually leave it open.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] BTan11800:
Hi, thanks for the hard work that went into this guide. I have one question however.

At the final stage of your instructions, I installed Magisk instead of the root option you recommend for LineageOS. I was then stuck in a bootloop. I went back into recovery and followed your steps exactly (using the recommended root option) and then the phone worked fine. Is Magisk unavailable with LineageOS on a Mi Mix 2. This seems contradictory to what the interwebs say but I get stuck in a bootloop every time. Maybe I should install Magisk before the Firmware?

Also, I noticed that the LineageOS zip contains a boot file. Is this the file I should patch if proceeding with that way to install Magisk (instead of installing from recovery via the zip)?

Thanks again.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] DTLNR:
question

I fallowed the steps, didnt had to get the veirification thingy went to UNLOCK screen and it said it will ERASE MY USER DATA, now im sitting over here thinking what to do? Why is it that it wants to erase my user data? I dont remember this happening with my old redmi note 2 (im using mi mix 2 now btw).

and also this means it will basically factory reset my device, right?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] senerex:
Actually also Magisk (and not only the official Lineage root AddOn) should work. Anyway please post your question in the Lineage forum here: https://xdaforums.com/mi-mix-2/development/rom-lineageos-15-1-mi-mix-2-t3784676. Maybe the Lineage developer for our Mix2 has an explanation as to why Magisk is not working in your case.

It is Xiaomi's decision to reset the OS and thus erase all data in the phone if you unlock the bootloader. Xiaomi warns you in 3 steps of unlocking bootloader procedure that all your data will be erased. But it is not only Xiaomi that does this, also other manufacturers do this.

Help!

I can't get past instruction 6B unlocking the bootloader...

I have the tool installed on my Windows 10 laptop and am logged into it with my Mi account.

But when I put the Mix 2 into fastboot mode and connect it via USB the unlock tool remains greyed out and I cannot click the 'unlock'button in the tool window. I am guessing the Mix 2 is not being detected... but the laptop makes a sound when I plug and unplug the Mix 2. Also in device manager I see it listed as LeMobile Android Device and on opening that Android bootloader interface appears underneath in the list... is it a driver issue ?, if so any ideas how to solve this please ?

Please help I have followed instructions to the letter and all fine till I hit this sticking point ?

Thanks guys

Regards

Mark

PS I did the temp disable driver signature enforcement fix..

that would not be anything to fi with it would it ?

Is there anyway to bypass the 720 hour wait?
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] abufrejoval:
Unknown Error (90000)

I used this really nice guide to walk through all these steps, but always failed at the same point: At 99% it simply failed to unlock, because evidently it couldn't get the unlock code from the server in China. At least that's what I read from the detailed log file the unlocking tool is writing: It simply echoes the json resturn message that comes from the server.

I had the Huawei account, I had associated the device, I even finally inserted a SIM card and had it associate with the device and account (the phone was meant for my son and in any case, Huawei has no business knowing my phone number...) but that changed nothing. I even reverted back from the automatic Oreo update and switched the gobal developer ROM, again that didn't do a thing.

In the end I had to return the phone on the day the 14 day "no questions asked" grace period in EU e-tail ran out: I'm sorry it most likely will now get destroyed (evidently it's too much trouble to repackage them), because it was a very fine phone and could have been perfect for someone who doesn't care about the ability to have adminstrator level access to his very personal computer, but I do.

Replaced it with a Nokia 8 for the same last-year-premium price, which unlocked very easily using $5 to get the code. Not the better device, but easier to unlock.

If anyone has a clue how to solve this, I'd be more than happy to buy another Mi Mix 2 (or any other Xiaomi), because they seem to be well made and at least still officially have the policy to enable unlocking.

Let's just hope this iNonsense doesn't spread...
