Hi Guys,

first off i am no dev but i am a tech nerd and want to gain access to everything on my phone.

After some digging around i finally figured out how to Unlock the Bootloader of my Xiaomi Black Shark (Global Version).

The steps might vary for the Chinese Version but i guess they might be the same.

CAUTION! THIS WILL ERASE YOUR WHOLE DATA AND SETTINGS!

What you need:

Your Xiaomi Black Shark

Drivers installed (you can use the miunlock tool for that but dont need it to unlock the Bootloader)

ADB installed.

A Backup tool.

If you want to unlock the bootloader do the following:

First Backup all your files and Settings.

Go to Settings/System/About the Phone and Tap on the Build Number to gain Dev Settings

In the Dev Settings enbale USB Debugging and OEM Unlock.

Connect your device to your computer.

Install the ADB Drivers if you did not already do so

Open a command prompt as admin

Type in

adb devices

to see if your device is recognized. If not try again to install them through the MiUnlock tool.

If it is recognized it will look like this:

[IMG="Console"]https://i.imgur.com/VVzTB0C.png[/IMG]

After that type

adb reboot bootloader

as soon as your phone restarts remove it from the USB Cable. Otherwise it might want to reboot right after you tried it.

Connect it to the cable again as soon as you are in Fastboot.

In your console type

fastboot flashing unlock

Type

fastboot reboot bootloader

or use the menu of the Bootloader to reboot to the Bootloader. As you will see your device is now unlocked.

thats it ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Invisan:
Yes. That`s it. Proof right here https://i.imgur.com/tRgWSpi.jpg Unfortunately the forum wouldnt scale it down.

I would love to tamper with it further but unfortunately i can not backup the boot.img caused by missing root which i would need to install root with the Magisk Manager since there is no TWRP for it yet.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] siliwangi:
in china rom cant unlock, please tell me,.. thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Invisan:
Seems it is different for the Chinese Version then. So im not able to help you since i do not have the Chinese Version.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Zerohexer:
Failed <Unlock is not allowed on device has sales on market!>

It happens on Black Shark CN version.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Invisan:
Like i already wrote under the MIUI Forum Post. It seems that the way to do this for the chinese Version is different and since i do not own the Chinese Version i can not test anything aside from that that would be way over my abilities.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] SubwayChamp:
If you already unlocked device and you want to try to root it you can download stock rom for your model (same build that you are using), extract boot.img, put it in your sdcard, install Magisk apk and patch it through the app, then move your patched-boot inside adb folder to your pc and flash it using fastboot; in order to can reboot device is probably that you need to format data, maybe not. But it´s possible too that device refuses permanently to boot and you need to flash the stock boot image again.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kanded:
this is irritating, i believe Xiaomi or Blackshark itself should do something regarding this.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Yotatouch:
Hello guys, i am in the same situation. I have the Black Shark's chinese version and i'm stuck here "Failed <Unlock is not allowed on device has sales on market!>"

I have 2 days left to decide if i keep or not the phone but in this state (not rooted, and doesn't know if i could do it a day or not), i can't keep it.

If someone have a solution, i'll be really grateful and i'm sure i'm not the only one.

Thanks.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] loriz:
Honestly?

Just return it. Community is almost dead, no root/unlocked bootloader, limited Google Services support (Google Home and Assistant have problems, Android Auto won't mirror).

There seemed to be a little hope with the unlocked bootloader but if that's achieved only on the Global version, it's useless to us unfortunately.

If you are willing to share some ideas to test and try to unlock the chinese version, I'd be very happy to help.

I have a chinese Black Shark.

Offical Xiaomi unlock tool seems to recognize the phone but gets an error at 99%

The command you provided gives the error someone else posted (about the market).
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Yotatouch:
Thank you for your feedback.

This is what will happen at the end... i still have 2 or 3 days left but if i don't have any hope, i'll probably do it with regrets cause i love the phone. Technically it is a monster and i don't get why people doesn't work harder on it to figure out how to root the chinese version.

mi e arrivato ieri questo smartphone, ma fin dalla accensione non mi e piaciuto. italiano si c'è, multilingue ma un android stock non c'è praticamente nulla, si servizi google funzionanti, ma non ci sono impostazioni tipo miui in un telefono così e proprio un castrone.

inservibile praticamente, con una rom xiaomi.eu sarebbe il top, ma questi sviluppatori non si trovano nemmeno a pagarli.

[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] denzel09:
Hey, have this phone from yesterday, europe dual sim version. How is for you the 3d face unlock?

I feel it's often inaccurate and in these cases it it does not unlock the phone.

Also, when i am in a dark room wit a good light behind me it's often inaccurate and, again, in these cases it it does not unlock the phone always.

In fact, if you try to register your face in this last condition you will see the face very very dark and this is a problem obviously for the face unlock.

I remember this last same "dark" problem also with the P20 Pro sensor.

What you think? Any solutions? Maybe in next updates?

[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] 0alfred0:
just dont register your face in bad lighting conditions where it cannot be registered properly. I dont understand your problem tbh. Face unlock is a combination of the infrared thing and the camera.... if you use your phone while sitting in front of a bright light you cannot expect it to work. its like having wet or dirty fingers and comlpaining fingerprint isnt working.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] denzel09:
Conditions are good.

.... behind of a bright light, as written in first post, in fact if i try to register face in this last condition face is almost dark, but in this case the infrared camera should not help anyway?

With my iphone x in the SAME condition the face unlock works ALWAYS instantly, so i can see the difference.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] 0alfred0:
Well if you register your face in good lighting and the unlock does not work in good lighting then there is probably something wrong. You should contact huawei about that.

If you are trying to create a bad lighting condition on purpose and then it doesnt work I am not sure why you do this. There is no point. If you are in everyday live, like in a bar or pub and the lighting is bad you have to expect that face unlock is not going to be the most reliable. Its that simple. Sitting at home and trying to push it to its limits does not benefit you at all.

It is not as secure nor the same technology as face ID so there is no point in comparing them. If FaceID is better you have to accept it. No update can change the hardware.... maybe it will be optimized but it is not going to improve by 100%.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] David Horn:
Surely ambient light has nothing to do with the face unlock method used here, as the camera is searching for an IR dot pattern. If anything, I'd expect it to work better in the dark.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] denzel09:
It works in good light but it's not accurate like FaceID or also other 2D unlock tried until now. It's not accurate, for example, when I'm sitting in an armchair often it wants certain angles to unlock, etc..

I can understand your point about create "bad light condition". Until few days ago i had a One Plus 6 with 2D face unlock, but not only it, and in the same Mate 20 conditions i had no one single problem with angles or light behind me! Maybe it's a bit hard to explain..
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] denzel09:
In fact it is the same thing that I thought! "Better in the dark", but in the evening when there is an artificial light behind me, sitting in an armchair, the unlock starts to have a bit of difficulty. And instead it should be the opposite, it should work better.

In this situation if i try to register my face in fact i see my face really dark cause the light behind me goes exactly on the sensor. Same thing with P20 Pro sensor. Only with Huawei i have seen this "problem". Nor with Samsung, nor with One Plus nor with Pocophone, etc..

It's really strange.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] roosta:
Check the software/EMUI problem thread, see if anyone else is reporting it. Otherwise, it's news to me.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] denzel09:
I think no one until now. Like no one with P20 Pro. Surely it's not fast like Apple Face ID. In same conditions. Sure about this because i have both with me so...
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] 0alfred0:
for comparison. I just tested bad lighting with my mate 10 pro... worked just fine... immediate unlock

i am not sure about the IR thing. it should definately work with no light but i am not sure if it is able to "work against" light. if your light sends out inrared wavelengths it will definately interfere with the IR projector. I am pretty sure though it sends out infrared wavelengths since it gets hot.... heat=infrared light (that how heat cameras work).
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] roosta:
Apple were the first to introduce dot-mapping (or whatever they call the technology) to scan all areas, from left to right, of the face. The android versions on phones is more watered down...but it seems Huawei are using their own software of facial mapping which I imagine is designed to work the same as Face ID on Apple...but as there's some bugs with the pre-releases, I'd potentially wait and update the phone in 3-4 weeks to see if it resolve the issue.

RoOSTA
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] denzel09:
It was perfect in my "condition" with mate 10 pro with light behind me and against the cam. Because it used only the frontal cam! When i tried to register my face with Mate 10 in "my condition" my face was no dark and clearly visible!

This IS a big difference and here there is an "error" starting from P20 Pro to Mate 20 Pro.

Perfect point of view. Problem is: with iPhone X the IR "thing" works PERFECT against light, etc.. :confused:
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] denzel09:
Yes, completely agree with you.

But i have a little doubt, this last comes from P20 PRO, also this with light behind me and against the sensor shows me my face all "dark" and obviously no update "fixed" this. I remember with this phone in my situation was IMPOSSIBLE use the 2D face unlock.

Idk honestly if an update here can improve this kind of sensor. I hope! :(

Edit...
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] orbital247:
It seems to me like a directional or sensor spread issue,

If i hold the phone level with my eyes and head straight (straight neck) it works perfectly, if i'm at my desk with it in my hand looking down at it then it doesn't. If i raise my head and phone vertical as its giving me the 'recognising face' message then it unlocks just as i hit vertical/straight neck.

Problem is i look a t**t raising my phone every time i want to unlock it (looks like i'm checking myself out in a vanity mirror!!)

Had the iPhone XS before this and it worked flawlessly head down or not.

Can someone else who is having issues test this theory?

And lastly, i really don't know where to start from as far as learning the phone and etc. Is there any thread where i can learn more about the phone?

Hello,

After swapping broken LCD screen, with new front frame also attached, Wifi does not work unless right next to the router. I do not have the sim tray at the moment so I don't know if cellular part works.

So my question is, does anyone know what part inside is the WIFI antenna? I did have some difficulty putting the coaxial cable back in place, it seems to stick but I'm wondering if I could have broken a connector there. If coaxial is for WiFi it would make sense, I have taken the phone to pieces and back multiple times now without any change.

Hopefully someone who know the insides can help, didn't find much help from google.

Well if you changed the screen from the service centre they'll probably fix it. But if you didn't you might need to figure it out.

After playing around with AR for all trying to get AR+ on Pokemon go and eventually giving up I'm curious on what this app is on my phone? Couldn't find a answer from a quick Google so I guess here is the next best thing.

Kinda of scared to give it root permissions as it's name doesn't sound familiar to any app I have installed. Any advice?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] AnonVendetta:
It's a system app that is present on many Android devices, including our Axon 7. You will find it in pretty much any ROM you flash, stock or custom. I don't know what it is or what it does, but it's not dangerous, don't mess with it. It shouldn't be asking for root permissions, that does sound a bit fishy. You may have recently installed an app that is masquerading under this name and now wants root access. Don't grant it. I would look more deeply into what you've installed to see if any of it might be malicious.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] GodOfPsychos:
I agree with the user above. Its weird that it even has the possibility to be granted root permission. If its a system process, it should already have all the necessary permissions it needs.

Oh btw. I think for AR+ in pogo you need ARCore by google. Our device is not officially supported yet. But since there is cam2 api in oreo, that might change in the future and google could very well add it to the list of supported devices.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Choose an username...:
look. Download MagiskHide props config module, change the fingerprint to Pixel 2 XL, then download ARCore from apkmirror. It'll work, I just don't know if it works with pokemon go.

I used Measure and Lens (don't know if lens needs it tho)

Thanks man, at first safety net was being hit but a quick reboot later and now everything is working fine. I'm going to do more research into what this is. As I'm sure I haven't downloaded any suspicious apps.

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] dalebaxter01:
Ok so after some testing it seems like AR Core 1.5 works but is unstable asf, and ARcore 1.4(latest) does not work as the app must be using 1.5 only, it comes up with the "This device is not supported" but seeing that safety is working fine, i assume its looking at the ARCore and seeing its not running on a "supported device" although it does work on 1.5 (sometimes, if im not taken straight to "Not Supported"). Not too sure about this magisk module tho as some reboots come up with a negative safety net

Hi. My USB C port recently died so I cannot upgrade firmware and get root/flash roms again as I cannot flash recovery without USB connection. As a solution I want to S Off my phone and use a no wipe RUU to switch to oreo firmware. So I wanted to ask:

1. Is it possible to use Sunshine on an AOSP Nougat rom on 2.41 WWE firmware?

2. If not then is it possible to go S Off on stock unrooted nougat (assuming I flash RUU) using sunshine app?

3. If not then If I restore an untouched Sense system backup through twrp would it be possible to use Sunshine to go S Off?

4. If I flash Oreo RUU is it possible to go S Off without obtaining root?
