Just bought one of these phones. I just tried unlocking it but wanted to confirm with the others what I read. In the instructions here at the beginning of this thread, it says to request permission. I didn't find a place to do that, is this necessary? On the page to download the unlocking tool: http://en.miui.com/unlock/download_en.html at the bottom this link http://en.miui.com/thread-246705-1-1.html says that Xiaomi has changed their system and no SMS code is required anymore in order to unlock. I've unlocked, rooted, and installed custom ROMs on a few Xiaomi devices in the past and they required going to a website, requesting a reason to unlock, and wait for authorisation to do so. Being that Xiaomi now says this isn't necessary I signed in with my MI account on my phone, associated the device to the account, booted into fastboot and when tried the unlocking tool it said I have to wait 720 hours. This is a long time but since I got that far will I for sure be able to unlock after a week? Or do I still need to request permission somewhere? I was wondering if it made any difference since I have used my Xioami account unlock other devices in the past. Please let me know you had to request permission to unlock recently.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] senerex:
It's indeed annoying but you have to wait for that time to pass.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] AdRi_232:
They have changed the way of unlocking the bootloader, so now you don't have to give a reason to do it. I think you just need to connect your device to the computer, start the tool and wait
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] dualcitizen91:
Thank you! That's what I was wondering. I just hope that after a week it will actually work.

work ota updates with this twrp in original global rom?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] entezar:
hi you have to connect your device to pc and flash twrp 3.3 by using this instruction copy your twrp image file adb folder and rename it twrp.img then open command promt in your adb folder and type fastboot flash recovery twrp.img and press enter after that press power+vol up to go to fast boot
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] JDSLR:
i just saw on TWRP that they now officially support the redmi note 7 pro... twrp.me/xiaomi/xiaomiredminote7pro

so i was wondering does that also work with the global redmi note 7 non pro version
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nitz327:
RN7 Pro has it's own codename (Violet), so I doubt it'll work. Some day soon we'll get official hopefully!

This guide has almost everything, almost.

In my humble opinion i think that you should add

1) Xiaomi ADB/Fastboot Tools by Saki_EU

2) Fastboot Rom & Recovery Rom

S O L V E D

hello,

no way to succeed. Had the same pbm. Then "format data" with the xiaomi recovery.

Go back to fastboot, flash again twrp

bootloader is unlocked. The TWRP flash said "done".

but when i try to boot in twrp, by holding the good keys, no way. Always come back to xiaomi recovery.

Find the solution :

you have to hold the Pwr and Snd+ at the same time, "WHILE YOU ARE STILL ON THE FASTBOOT SCREEN".

If you try another way, nothing works (at least, for me ! )

Thanks

One user in telegram channel of LAVENDER aka REDMI NOTE 7 posted that photo. So, is it the best way to flash or I have to follow the first post of this thread?

Actually, I have one & only device (REDMI NOTE 7) and I want to use CUSTOM ROM. I don't have WiFi or anything and I'm using it's mobile hotspot to surf internet/download in my PC.

If I faced any error in flashing I won't be able to connect to internet anymore.

Please help me out to choose the best way to flash. Thanks for replying.

But when I flash the file (miui_LAVENDERGlobal_V10.3.5.0.PFGMIXM_a5cabeca22_9.0.zip) I get the error attached.

Can anyone help me with this error?

I'm still unable to unlock my bootloader. I followed the guide religiously. And after waiting for a week as instructed by the mi unlock tool, I'm now getting unable to unlock with Chinese text below.

I also tried signing out my mi account from the mi unlock tool and under mi account settings on my phone (not under developer setting) and logging back in but still no go.

I have unlock my bootloader, it does factory reset my phone. It's ok, i know the steps.

After done, i gonna activate again my usb debugging to flash the twrp.

Then i connect my phone to computer, but it happens; the usb debugging wont work. nothing happen at all.

When i check my Device Manager (devmgmt.msc) i saw there is an error on Universal Serial Bus controllers, Unknown USB device (Device Descriptor Request Failed).

Update: Solved, that was cable matter. Wtf, i think it's my laptop issues, i was surfing everywhere and every steps i follow but no one can fix that.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Melix42:
Hi everyone,

I'm trying to root my redmi note 7 phone. So far I have managed to unlock it. I am however stuck at step "C. e." of the tutorial:

"Enter the terminal command in command line: >>fastboot flash recovery twrp.img<<. "

When I enter

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

in the powershell console it tells me :

fastboot : Le terme «fastboot» n'est pas reconnu comme nom d'applet de commande, fonction, fichier de script ou

programme exécutable. Vérifiez l'orthographe du nom, ou si un chemin d'accès existe, vérifiez que le chemin d'accès

est correct et réessayez.

Au caractère Ligne:1 : 1

+ fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

+ ~~~~~~~~

+ CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (fastboot:String) [], CommandNotFoundException

+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

(fasboot is not recognized as command name etc)

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? The phone is unlocked, connected to the pc in fastboot mode, the powershell was opened in the folder containing the .img I feel like I'm missing a crucial step but I can't see which it is.

Thanks in advance.

Did you do these 2 bits?

"A. Prerequisites:

1. Disable driver signature enforcement in Windows

If your computer doesn’t recognize Xiaomi drivers then please disable driver signature enforcement. How to do this please read here: http://en.miui.com/thread-237673-1-1.html

2. Install ADB and Fastboot tools with drivers on Windows

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] DelphinusMinor:
My Redmi Note 7 global says "unlocked" on the bottom of the boot screen. Am I to assume I don't need to follow the unlock procedure in the OP? When I bought it, it says it's "unlocked". Or does this just mean carrier unlocked?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] dd721411:
Yep. If your phone bootloader is already unlocked, the phone should say "unlocked" on the bottom of the boot screen.

Anyway, where did you buy your phone and was its seal still intact when you bought it?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] DelphinusMinor:
I bought it on eBay and it was all in original packaging and sealed.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] dd721411:
Strange! I don't know much about your case.

I bought my phone (Global version, the very first batch shipped to Vietnam) at my local authorized store. It was in original packaging and I took out the seal myself. During the first 15 days since purchase, my phone never showed the "unlocked" text on boot, not until I followed OP's guide and successfully unlocked the bootloader.

I guess you can now safely skip the unlocking step though.

Cheers! :D
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] DelphinusMinor:
I think it was unlocked by Xiaomi themselves. Love your lamb BTW. LOL
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] dd721411:
How come your phone was unlocked by Xiaomi before it was sent to you? Everyone has to wait at least 360 hours before their phones can be unlocked. :eek:

BTW, you may love my lamb however you want but don't make it your dinner, OK?!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] DelphinusMinor:
I don't know. But it was factory unlocked according to the eBay vendor.

Mmmmm. Lamb chops.

In other Xiaomi models I had (Redmi note 3, note 4, note 5) there was always a toolkit that facilitated the commands to install TWRP, among other operations.

I had to format the data using TWRP. All data was erased but im ok with that. the device was new.

Do I have to flash something to disable DM-Verity or anything like that?

Usually I keep my device encrypted after unlocking the bootloader.

Our twrp for now is booting to twrp recovery only its not permanent replacement for mi recovery. So if you need twrp you have to fastboot and boot to twrp.img.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] dd721411:
Same old question :silly:

You probably have done the 1st method in this step?

"f. Boot your device into recovery (3 possible methods)

+ by entering terminal command in command line: >>fastboot boot twrp.img<<, or

+ by holding together "Volume Up + Power" until you see the MI logo, release "Power" button but keep pressing "Volume Up" until you see the recovery, or

+ by holding together "Volume Up + Volume Down + Power" until you see recovery

Now do the 2nd or 3rd method instead. The first one (from what I can see all over this thread) always brings back the Stock Recovery.

Same issue on my side, could someone help identifying the issue if possible ?

I have tested some stuff and I think I found the main problem by using oem device-info in fast boot

FAILED (Write to device failed (Too many links))
fastboot: error: Command failed

I wonder how I could fix it though
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lauriso:
Here's how I fixed fastboot not seeing my phone. I still had Samsung USB drivers installed from my previous phone, and apparently those conflicted with Xiaomi drivers. Uninstall of Samsung drivers solved the problem.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] dd721411:
Correct me if I'm wrong but that's the way it is. Your account has successfully been bound to your phone. Just proceed to the Mi Unlock step and wait until you're allowed to unlock your phone. You can use your phone normally during the wait time.

I have a noob question. I understand that I need to flash the custom ROM of my choice on top of MIUI. The question is: do I have to flash it on any specific partition (A/B)? Or on both partitions?

You don't need to worry about that, just install twrp or orangefox recovery, format data, wipe everything and flash new rom

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rubens95:
In recovery you don't have the choice to select a partition, you see only one system partition. I don't know if this phone isn't a proper A/B phone or what, because if you flash a gsi you must flash A/B gsi but the partitions are not visible in recovery

Firstly thanks so much for this guide. Managed to install TWRP without issues.

I'm just wondering if anyone can give me a little advice as I'm a bit concerned about the anti-rollback brick issue. At present I am happy to stay with MIUI and only rooted via Magisk so I could install the Viper audio mod however as I understand it I will no longer receive OTA updates for MIUI. I used to used Mi-Globe MIUI roms for debloated MIUI updates on my old Mi Max but I'm concerned they are older versions (seem to be v9 whereas my phone is v10). I'm certainly keen to try a custom rom at some point but again I'm concerned about anti-rollback if I wish to go back to MIUI.

Really appreciate anyone's guidance here.

I only have problem first time when I try to reboot with command line and encountered android password problem. Ressolved with Reboot in stock recovery, wiped data, rebooted, all set up again, reapplied developer options and usb debbuging. And after flashing Twrp rebooted with method volume + and power key, flashed Magisk and all working.

To reboot in fastboot mode first I set phone to file transfer mode and then I use command line 'adb reboot bootloader' in "ADB and Fastboot", hope this help someone.
