Normally if you go back to the unlocking link, it offers you to download a utility and you will see a tutorial. You'll see how many hours you have left before you can unlock it.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] overflyer:
Ok by reading this forum thread really, really carefully I figured out that direct permissions from Xiaomi are not needed any more to unlock the bootloader. Seriously [MENTION=225651]op[/MENTION] this should be made more clear on you first post that getting permissions is not neccessary anymore! Nowadays prepare everything for using the Mi Unlock App like this:

- You create an account (with you PHONE NUMBER!!!)

- You go to you phone -> About Phone -> Click the build number 7 times to activate developer mode

- Go into developer mode (Under System & Device section)

- Activate "Allow OEM unlock", "USB Debugging" and MOST IMPORTANTLY CLICK "Mi Unlock Status"

- A menu will appear that will let you lock into the account you created in step one

- Once you connected that account your account status should be (check in web browser after login) green with a 100 points

Ok I hope this helped, now to my problem:

I used my girlfriends laptop because she has Windows 10 1803 on it (why for god sake's is all the smartphone software from developers and a lot of the software from xda Windows only. I hate Windows and I do not want to use it. /side rant). It is an HP 15-db0103ng with a Ryzen 2 CPU in it. Is it true that the unlock will not work on Ryzen laptop because I properly installed the drivers that are delivered with the Mi Unlock App (version 3.3.827.31). I started the Unlock App, connected my account, unlock went to a 100% and then it said Unlock failed wait 168 days. I even used the original Xiaomi usb cable. Is there anything else I could have done wrong?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Methdealer:
U read it wrong

It s 168 hrs = 7 days

So u have to wait 7 days

U r lucky u got 7 day of waiting time others had 360 to 900 hrs of waiting time

Previously I unlock bootloader. But I decided to lock back. My sim card is activated the find device. I try to log out turn off find device reboot and log in again. But my device still offline.

Xiaomi redmi note 7 bootloader

Hello,

reading the forum I see that Xiaomi locks the bootloader for (160h or more).

Is there any way to flash a brand new bootloader which is not made by Xiaomi?

Without being (much) paranoid, if Xiaomi is able to put so much logic in bootloader, wouldn't be possible to track the users?

They require already to unlock the bootloader : phone number, email, 3g/4g enabled.

It certainly seems like they having some privacy issues.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Edhuin:
So I tried to get this working for hours now, but my redmi note 7 is always listed as unrecognized device or as a broken MTP device. Can anyone just point me to the right drivers? I installed like a thousand of them and it's still not working my win10 pc won't recognize my note 7 at all.

So far I installed the qualcom driver, android driver using the all in one tool v1.43, MiFlash since it comes with drivers, Mi Suite.

I'm also in test mode all the time.

EDIT: Somehow managed to get it working and connecting in bootloader mode, looks like this is where the waiting game starts, said something about waiting 168 hours...
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vicko_:
My oem unlock is off but my bootloader is already unlocked..

I try to install twrp but can't. I want to relock bootloader but i dont know my rom.. How :confused:
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Enddo:
As the other person mentioned. . .yes, as long as you unlock the bootloader you can use Mi Flash (or just the flash_all.bat file) from a Fastboot ROM for the Redmi Note 7 (when it becomes available from Xiaomi). These Xiaomi.eu downloads that are available do not count (although they make a ROM out of China's MIUI that is quite comparable to the global version).

Once you are on the Global version of MIUI on the Redmi Note 7 then OTA updates will work just as you normally would expect. You will be getting global OTA updates once you have switched to the Global version of MIUI. You can think of it as switching to and from the stable version of OSS on OnePlus devices. Once you are on either of those channels Stable/China or Open Beta/Global, you will receive OTA updates for that specific version.

Stay tuned to AndroidExplained.com for those tutorials when all of this stuff becomes available. I have a few more days until I can unlock the bootloader. But it could take weeks until a Global version of MIUI is released and it could take weeks after that before a Global Fastboot ROM is available.

But once you have an unlocked bootloader then you can start experimenting with GSI ROMs if you'd like. I'm running Resurrection Remix on my Mi Mix 3 (with China MIUI as a base install) and TWRP (just for backups). And I see that the same group released a version of TWRP for this device as they did the Mi Mix 3 (it's Chinese, and missing some features, but the core works and we can change the language to English).
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sakatch:
I had to wait 360 hours but an old trick found on the forum did worked for me:

1) Run MiFlashUnlock and log in with MIUI account (should be the same account as the one used on the phone)

2) Enter Fastboot mode

3) Connect your phone to PC and click "Unlock". This showed a 360 hours waiting time

4) Reboot the phone

5) Logout from the Xiaomi account, login with a 2nd Xiaomi account

6) In developer settings --- Mi unlock status, add the 2nd Xiaomi account

7) Logout from MiFlashUnlock and login with the 2nd account

8) Enter in Fastboot mode

9) Unlock.

This time it worked.

Didnt worked for me
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] calm_depression:
Anyone idea when the global version will be coming out?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Enddo:
these accounts need to be tied with a phone number as the Mi Unlock Status page requires WiFi to be disabled and mobile data to be enabled.

so you'll need a different phone number for each "2nd mi account" iirc

this process helped me get the redmi note 6 pro from 360 hours down to 72 hours. but has not worked since (even with a new number).

so it may have worked for you. but there's some detail missing here that is preventing it from working for everyone

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] dd721411:
This is the 2nd time I've heard someone ask about the possiblity of IMEI be wiped since the beginning of Redmi Note 7 forums. The 1st time was someone from Syria or Turkey (I can't remember exactly). Maybe yes when your device is shipped faulty or you have a very bad luck. The process of unlocking bootloader and rooting is generally very safe. Just do step by step as directed and you'll be fine.

If my phone is shipped with china rom, should i update it with only china firmware? Can i use latest global firmware for this phone or will that brick my device? (Changing custom rom)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] kenennaoyeka:
This wouldn't brick your device. I bought a note 7 for my brother in Nigeria but I did tr he hard work before sending it to him. I unlocked the bootloader after 15days, installed twrp and then installed the xiaomi.eu rom. It may look scary but it's very doable and yeah, u cant actually brick the phone. People that brick their phones must be doing something outside of the scope of the tutorial on here. All my years I have only ever bricked an LG but it really wasn't my fault, the stupid g2 decided to slow down for no reason and I tried to install Lineage or something to give it hope alas I think I over did it but that was a model that wasnt meant to have a bootloader unlock, the redmi note 7 is supported directly by xiaomi for bootloader unlocks so you would be fine

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] overflyer:
Hi guys today I decided to go for it. I am far over the 168 hours (1 week) I had to wait. SO I used my girlfriend's Laptop which has Windows 10 on it and I downloaded the newest xiaomi unlock app 3.5.724.32.

I successfully installed the drivers and went into fastboot mode. I start the app, I log in, it checks my permissions (I have a 100 points on my xiaomi account, full permissions to unlock and my phone number is linked to the account!) and then brings me to the final screen where I COULD hit "Unlock". But no matter what I do the Unlock button keeps being deactivated.

EDIT: It worked Wuhuuuu! After many reboots of Windows and driver reinstalls my bootloader is finally unlocked. I downloaded TWRP from the original post and I am flashing it with fastboot right now.

EDIT2: Flashing TWRP worked. I flashed Magisk 19.3 over USB-OTG. Manually Wiped (Factory reset) and dalvik and cache. Now my system wont boot HELP!!!!!!

Official roms can be found here (fastboot version: http://en.miui.com/a-234.html) or here (recovery version: http://en.miui.com/download-360.html).

Returning to original rom will replace your twrp with original xiaomi twrp. There is an option to select (whether you want to lock or leave unlocked your bootloader) at the bottom of the fastboot flashing tool before flashing the rom.
