Is the Chinese version also available for bootloader unlock? I am in the US and looking to get one.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] baggino:
yes, you have to create a miui account if you do not have it already, after which you must connect the phone to the pc and perform the unlocking procedure

no phone no party ...
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ermacwins:
I never had to wait to unlock, did Mi 8 instantly. Probably because I have a very old account. If I get the Mi 9, I'll try it out.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ulver:
Same here with all my past devices. Probably because my Mi account is over 5 years old.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] B!GBOY:
I have unlocked not only my own devices instantly after buying them but also for friends and family members.

edit: welp now it's asking me to wait 360h for the first time -_-
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] expiredd:
Can unlock instantly here too, but since there's no TWRP working recovery yet I can't try Xiaomi.eu rom yet :(
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] B!GBOY:
I might be wrong but there is not yet any xiaomi.eu rom for the MI9. as far as I can see it has been added to the list but it's not in the release folder.

MIFlashUnlock does not recognize me the Mi9 in fastboot mode

hello, I have a question for those who tried to unlock the bootloader:

after doing all the unlocking procedures, MIFlashUnlock does not recognize me the Mi9 GLOBAL in fastboot mode while it recognize the Mix3 and the Mi8 lite, according to you how is it possible?

Thank you
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] *justintime*:
I had the same problem... Also with drivers.

When I placed the map in c:/ I could get the device recognized.

And also.... There is an update click on the settings button and search.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] stefano alegnini:
yes I tried, but nothing.

Updated to newest version and put in C with admin and installed the drivers
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] expiredd:
Yep I was wrong. Can't wait for twrp and this rom [emoji4]
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] SmallTarzan:
Interesting, my account is 2 years old and I still need to wait to unlock my Mi 9, weird.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChriKn:
Needing to wait to unlock is probably the most stupid thing I have ever encoutered... Why ?

So that it is even more a hassle to get rid of this crapfest that is miui (no notifications and push notifications is killing it instantly...)
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] lorawithano:
From what I understand, China requires all phones to be unlocked, so the Chinese version comes unlocked out of the box. Additionally, it receives updates quicker, and seems to have better data reception based on frequency compatibility sites. I'm in the USA, and I'm definitely going Chinese version, not Global.

https://www.kimovil.com/en/frequency-checker/US/xiaomi-mi-9

EDIT: 3 people have already quote replied to correct me on the locked bootloader. You don't need to as well, no matter how tempting.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrchrister:
I would be surprised if that's the case. Huawei doesn't allow unlocks for example
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] doggydog2:
This is it.

Didn't touch this phone until it was unlocked. Oh, for good reasones. What a terrible unlock begging process for 360hours. Now on the EU version, which is already debloated, i see the horror of MI, MIUI, XIAOMI or whatever it is.

- Unprecedent bloating

- Adware

- Spyware

- some Apps super hard to remove (Disable? Doesn't work! System uninstall? Doesn't work! Force system uninstall by recovery? Doesn't work!)

- Every possible system app and dialog replaced (i found just one little leak to vanilla App properties.. just ONE original dialog)

- Malware injected also to kernel processes

- some junk is grouped into legit app groups, harder to filter (like proven data miner and network capturer miuidaemon)

- Since boot, massive home calling starts, this needs to be sniffed

- Process masking (Running processes in dev options are hidden for the start, but also i have a big problem to identify some masked apps -- and to see them i need not only root but also inject my inspecting apps into system otherwise they also show nothing running)

- To remove their (whaat?) "Framework" community guys had to create magisk module (sad)

- To remove ultra sticky Find device (yes it calls home even after you turn it off) you need to go to TWRP file manager

- No matter how basic the app is, you will find the Privacy Policy there (=which equals data mining just by its existence), avoid plague like Mi Video, Security Center

- app permissions are in many places, duplicate, beware that in some cases they have no effect ---- always rely on real open source tools

- the firewall is needed to disable internet for any Mi apps that you want to use but don't want them get WAN connections... of course the overriden permission dialogs won't even allow you to disable background activity or internet access for their apps

- privacy xposed is also effective to mask your private data to vaste majority of those

- Revoke authorization (which is not explained, but i guess it's about refusal to collect data) disable action doesn't work for me (probably because i confused their apps they don't know the phone identity), luckily i made half of items disappear, and the rest is good to "study" (=removal, network filtering)

- billion GPS "fuses", aggreggators, yeah, we need more and more companies to collect our SSIDs, MACs, IPs

In the end, i reduced leaks a hell of a lot, no more calling to alibaba servers etc. Disabled vaste majority of Xiaomi apps, nothing breaks.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Qidamin:
Nope, China version is locked as well.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] CrazyBeaver2377:
Eh no china phones don't come with bl pre unlocked.

Wooow..... Really man... After a rant like this you should simply go back to using a Nokia from 20years ago. None of it is an issue if you actually know what you are doing, buying or even talking about...

Hi.

I bought two MI 9 models in China.

one "normal" MI 9 and one MI 9 transparent , BOTH are with locked bootloader
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] fanfan7110:
did anyone try to run this commands under ADB ?

Fastboot flashing unlock

Fastboot flashing unlock_critical

because it's the normal command to unlock a phone, no ?
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] cd993:
That's a very good point. In all honesty I just went with the flow of using the unlock tool.

If you're willing to test it, you'd make a lot of people happy if this works!!

Edit: after speaking with someone re this, turns out the phone will just reboot and won't unlock via this command
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] emprazol:
I think its good that cant unlock bootloader instantly

Cause of security and bypass screen pin codes

And in higher level opening diag port and changing imei and remove mi account for stolen phones

Android one phones of xiaomi is really a good target for these works because there is no countdown for bootloader unlocking
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] fanfan7110:
personally I still have 70 hours before launching the unlock utility, so I will avoid testing stuff that may give me the counter has 360. Otherwise I would have tested anyway :)
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] KRiST0F:
Hi, i recieved my Mi 9 yesterday. Have to wait 360h.

360 hours AFTER you sign in and register phone on Mi.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] RedWave31:
Yes, remember that you have to try to unlock the first day you put the phone out of the box, else you'll have to wait another 15 days !!
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] KRiST0F:
yes indeed, but i thought i did that :)
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kaeru Sapporo:
360 hours have passed since the first attempt to unlock,

but I still can not unlock the phone.

The meaning of Chinese in the dialog is

"The phone has not been used for the specified time and can not be unlocked."

How long is the specified time additionally?:crying:
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] fanfan7110:
in fact you i think you have to use the phone during the waiting period. If you put it in a corner without using it, they may consider that you are a dealer who wants to change the device's ROM and the time does not flow.

Personally, I used my phone every day normally, and every day I connected it to the 'mi unlock tool' to check that the time was going well. And everything was ok.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kaeru Sapporo:
Thank you for your reply.

I also used the phone daily and checked with mi unlock every few days.

The remaining time before unlocking was reduced properly.

It was the day I could unlock today.

MIUI updates and factory resets were done several times.

Is this the cause of the problem?:mad:
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] fanfan7110:
YES ! This is THE problem : The factory return resets the counter's value ..
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kaeru Sapporo:
Thank you for your reply.

Is there anything else I should not do:confused:
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] vtec303:
Guys I have just bought the phone its getting delivered in 3 to 4 days, how to I make a bootloader unlock request? cheers
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kaeru Sapporo:
You need to put the phone in FAST BOOT mode and connect it to your PC.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] vtec303:
ok thanks for that, but when the phone is connected to pc in fastboot mode the pc is gonna recognize it as an adb/fastboot device connected, how will I initiate a bootloader unlock request? cheers
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] fanfan7110:
The procedure is the same for all xiaomi.

It is found everywhere on the XDA forum, for example here: https://xdaforums.com/mi-a2-lite/how-to/guide-how-to-unlock-bootloader-official-t3885578

Where you can read:

1) On your device, enable developer options by going to Settings > About Phone, scroll down to Build number and tap 5-7 times to enable developer option.

2) Once you enabled the Developer Options. Returned back to Settings > Developer Options > USB Debugging and OEM Unlock. Just Enable there options.

3) Proceed to put your Xiaomi Mi9 into Fastboot mode by powering it on while holding Volume Down and Power buttons simultaneously. Hold until you see your phone is booted into Fastboot mode, now connect your phone to your computer.

4) Go to http://en.miui.com/unlock, click on Unlock button on the webpage now you have to login and then proceed to tap on Download Mi Unlock from the resulting page.

5) After the successful login, the validation process will start on your phone, and for the first time, you will get a message that “You don’t have the permission to Unlock the device”

4) Now click on the “Go” button or use Go to MIUI Unlock page to receive the unlocking permission.

5) Now click on the Unlock Now and log in with your Mi account details and fill all details.

6) You will get a password for confirmation use it to complete the process.

7) Now wait until your application gets approved, you will receive the password on your phone number once it’s approved.

8) Now Open the Mi Flash tool click on unlock and pass the two pop-up.

Your phone will reboot and your data will be erased but your bootloader is now unlocked !
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] vtec303:
Thank you very much for the guide, big help, cheers.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] zoppa:
This process is obsolete and doesn't work anymore.

You have to use the Mi Unlock Windows tool.

---------- Post added at 10:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:50 AM ----------

Today the remaining timed halved; matching 720 h starting time. :mad:

[Xiaomi Mi 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ducter:
Just throwing this out there for anyone it may help. I had the 15 day wait like most of you, it was set for Sunday, almost every day I would try with the newest version and an older version found in the thread titled "Unlocking bootloader immediately" and it was counting down as it should. I tried yesterday and it unlocked. No idea why, I didn't do anything special but it unlocked 4 days early.

[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] Deleted member 7646815:
Hi,

Last night, my Moto G6's battery died during an update. I put it on the charger and the LED came on flashing and did that overnight.

This morning, the light had stopped flashing, which means the battery is no longer discharged completely, but the phone isn't booting. No bootloader, so this is clearly a hardbrick. I plugged my phone into my computer, and it came up as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008". I've heard of this, but I've never personally dealt with it. So, I tried to flash a blankflash and I'm having trouble with it. The log below is the farthest I've gotten:

[Moto G6 Questions & Answers] ZulC_Silence:
Hello friend!

I have exactly the same problem.

I can't flash BlankFlash_PPS29.26.bat for my XT1925-5, the entire chain of loaders.

Returns exactly the same I/o error.

After talking with wise people, I realized that blankflash can't flash the original bootloader, since its version is later than the version that is installed in the internal memory of the phone.

I tried experimenting with blankflash.bat for different devices with the same security updates.(Motorola Moto G5Plus, Moto G6 Plus,Moto G7 Plus, etc.) But to no avail.

Here you need the help of a smart encoder that can "patch" our SingleImage.bin for our firmware version and updated security system.

Please email me if you have any results on our common problem.

5. Messenger will notify you that you have enabled dark mode setting. If not make sure you have updated ur messenger to the latest version.

Good luck!

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] T3rry1:
I am from Canada and want to buy 2 of the note 7 or note 7 pro. one for me and one for my son

I see global versions in aliexpress but the bands don't exactly align with local carriers, does anybody know if one of these will properly support north american carriers or will we need to wait longer for a true global version?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] PixelPro:
The global version should work fine with most GSM carriers in North America, like T-Mobile and AT&T, although some individual bands might not be available in some areas.

However, you must be careful that you're actually getting the global version of the phone and not the Chinese version with a global ROM. There is a big difference between the two. The global version should work fine in North America, but the Chinese version (with a global ROM) is a different story.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] smallmj:
The proper global versions will work fine on GSM carriers. The bands that are missing are the 700 MHz bands, but with bands 2, 4, 5 and 7 covered you'll be fine unless you are using something strange like Freedom Mobile in Canada.

I've pretty much decided that when this phone launches I'm getting it, but there are somethings that can still dissuade me. I'd simply like to know how popular the V series is with the kind of people who like to root and make custom ROMs?

Also how supportive is LG of the XDA community, will it be a battle to get them to release the binary blobs?
