[Redmi Note 10 Pro] cocopipou:
So far I failed to unlock my Redmi Note 10 Pro bootloader even though I tried many, many times.

When I sign in in MI unlock tool, I receive this .

I click on "I’m not a robot" and I then receive or something alike.

I select all the concerned images and I have then a bootloop on the captcha whih I can’t solve.

I don't see what I'm doing wrong.

Questions:

1. Does this mean that my phone is not (yet) eligible for unlocking?

2. The account ID on my phone is different from the one on my mi account which I created using my PC.

Is this normal and can it play a role ?

Should someone have an idea ?

Many thanks in advance.

FINALY !!!!!!

I succeedeed starting the unlocking bootloader procedure.

I probably made a mistake but witch ???

I closed mi MI account created using my mail adress.

I created a new MI account using my phone number.

Then all worked straight forward and I have just to wait 118 hours (why note 168, no matter).

I have tried every single method in my redmi note 10(Sunny) but it always stucks at 99% for hours and hours....any solution?
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Fostel:
LOL

Just received this phone as I impulse bought it when on flash sale, here in England. To custom ROMs, I came from the OnePlus angle (One, X and 5T) where all was easily allowed, accepted and with no warranty loss. Been de-googling my phones for a few years now.

My bad as I did not research it before. Wifey likes it so I guess I am about to jump through some hoops.

What I learned till now:

Xiaomi is a bad company that spies on you and offers cheap phones to sell your data for profit.

There is no official LineageOS support.

Unlocking the bootloader is a pain in the a

What else am I missing? LOL

The hardware looks good on the paper so I will keep it but normally I would pass this one as I am getting old for that.

Bummer. Thanks for sharing and support.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] x3r0.13urn:
It's a little price to pay for a phone like this. Just don't use it at all for 7 days (just keep it online with an active sim card), unlock it, and it's all paid off. Still better than other Chinese brand from BBK, OnePlus is an exception tho.

Official lineageos will need a dedicated maintainer, can't expect that for every single devices that's out there.

Been on Xiaomi since mi 4c with custom roms, lucky for me, never had any problems aside from my own carelessness.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] gazza35:
When you say dont use it for 7 days, what happens if yoy do??, i only have 1 phone so if im unlocking bootloader i still expect to use it right up until the day i reconnect it to confirm unlocking, is there any reason why i shouldnt use it?
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] pl1992aw:
Phone will get factory reset.

What will happen after a factory reset, you will encounter it during unlock process.

You can still use your phone, but the after work to backup and restore is a pain.

Suggest manually backup personal data, apps, settings, browser passwords, sms, photos, video records... anything you don't want to loose.

If the data on your phone is not important and you don't mind loosing it, then nothing to worry. But remember, no return point.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] gazza35:
All thats done, backed up n prepped. What i mean is, none of that will actually happen when i click the unlock button, It will only occur after the 7 day period right?
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Fostel:
Thanks for sharing your experiences. The SIM bit is that I do not get. I heard that you can't request/complete the unlocking on wifi and you have to use your SIM data. They gather this data and I do not like it.

I read that you need a MI account registered on your phone number and not email. They set up this account automatically when I purchased the phone but I only gave them a personalised email. I have a SIM that has a temporary number as I am in the process of transferring to another network. What will happen when I request the unlocking on this temporary number and around Monday-Tuesday I will get my actual number?

I am kinda a techie guy but do not comprehend this Xiaomi process. Is it described somewhere step by step? Any official (tried and tested) manual? Any links and info appreciated. I would like to request the code ASAP as the wife will start pushing me and I do not want to settle her on this spyware software for good.

Thanks.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] x3r0.13urn:
Sure, you may find the FAQ provided from official mi unlock site, it's quite concise and details. https://en.miui.com/unlock/download_en.html

Xiaomi Community

new.c.mi.com

As for registering a mi account, if I recall correctly, you should not need a mobile number, a valid email address should be sufficient. Beware tho, I heard rumours that a mi account has limited permissions to unlock a phone: one device per month. If you need to unlock in a succession less than a month, one account isn't enough.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Elinx:
You need a mobile data card for starting the unlock proces.

After this you can use/play with the phone for 7 days, without need of this mobile data card.

So you can use your old smartphone too with that same card.

Finish the unlockproces after 7 days. No need for mobile data anymore.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Fostel:
I am going through this. Thanks.

Quick one: Could anybody spoil it for me? Can I do it on Linux or their software is windows only?
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Elinx:
Windows only. So run within Wine or VM

I know there is a native non -official Linux unlocktool, but have no experience with that.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Fostel:
Windows only and Intel-based PC only 👀

Source: https://new.c.mi.com/global/post/101245

Call me crazy but I am a 100% Linux guy on AMD hardware with no Virtual Machines!

It's gonna take longer than I expected :coffee:

The Linux tools seem to be outdated and not supporting 'sweet' Redmi Note 10 Pro.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] x3r0.13urn:
It's just a *recommendation* to use Intel as AMD had a history on unable to use fastboot on the usb. https://xdaforums.com/t/fix-fastboot-issues-on-ryzen-based-pcs.4186321/

Just reboot to bootloader, make sure you can call fastboot oem device-info, and you should be good to go.

Yea, unfortunately mi unlock only runs on Windows. But if I remember, if you observe the logs from it, you could create a script to replace the mi unlock.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Fostel:
Thanks for your response and for digging this old thread out for me. Highly appreciated.

On Linux the fastboot work great,

~/adb-fastboot/platform-tools$ fastboot oem device-info
(bootloader) Verity mode: true
(bootloader) Device unlocked: false
(bootloader) Device critical unlocked: false
(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: false

now I need to figure out the Windows part. I have Bottles (https://usebottles.com/) installed but could not fire up the miflash_unlock.exe file as my knowledge on Bottles is limited.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Fostel:
Did you get it unlocked at the end?

I am in the middle of double porting my old mobile number to the new sim. I hope that they will not be fussy about the different phone number used (same sim) in initiating the process and the actual unlocking after 7 days.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Elinx:
For asking unlock rights you need a mobile number, for recieving a sms

For starting the unlock process you need mobile data, not a phone number (it could be another simcard too).

For finishing the unlock process after 168 hours you need non of them.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Fostel:
I think I managed to start the process. Thanks!
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Fostel:
This source says 'no'.

If you unlock the bootloader, your phone's warranty will be void.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] gazza35:
This is what confuses me, "If you unlock the bootloader, your phone's warranty will be void.".

WHY all the confusion over warranty???? Seriously, we could all do with a solid, real legitimate answer once and for all, Some say warranty isnt affected if you unlock, even if you flash custom rom, others like above, say your warranty will be void!.

Perhaps someone like an Admin could actually make a post in General with the true legitimate info regarding warranty status if anyone unlocks their BL so we all know the real answer once and for all, it seems ludicrous that there is so much confusion on such a simple subject..

QUOTE from sources on Xiaomi -

Will rooting Redmi void warranty?

As per the official response from the company, simply unlocking your Xiaomi or Redmi phone's bootloader does not void its warranty.22 Apr 2020
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Elinx:
For completeness, link to source please?

I think the confusion about this has to do with International sales of Xiaomi and different laws, but the unlocktool is for everyone.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] gazza35:
Cant find it offhand, will look through history when i get a min, But Look, to ALL concerned, with any mobile phone company this is a common issue, the rules are simple 1)Unlocking Bootloader does NOT void warranty because it does not affect the firmware in any way at all and your phone will still run normally. 2)Unlocking Bootloader and Flashing Official Miui, Will not Void your warranty. 3) Finally, Unlocking bootloader and installing anything not Official, like Lineage, or 3rd party mods, Rooting etc WILL 100% void warranty in all countries. That said, if you were to Reflash Official Miui back to stock and relock bootloader, Your warranty will be back intact. So remember everyone, if you need to claim warranty, make sure you are back on Miui that came supplied on your phone and Bootloader relocked.

It would However in my case, be beneficial to pose the question to Xiaomi Uk to get their thoughts on this subject.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Merchant_Here:
no
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] gazza35:
100% Anyone in India on Xiaomi will not lose warranty, other countries and global are yet to confirm, but this was already covered by XDA themselves -

Xiaomi India clarifies that bootloader unlocking does not void warranty

Xiaomi India has confirmed that bootloader unlocking will not void the warranty of Xiaomi and Redmi phones in India, except in certain special cases.

www.xda-developers.com
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Fostel:
You were right. The hardware is great for the price I paid - £129 for a brand new 128GB ROM/ 6GB RAM device. Unlocking has gone smooth on the first try but it involves a huge privacy sacrifice. You need to give them a lot of data: your email, phone number, sim card number, operator, location, pc windows details and much, much more. Your PC and new phone need to be tied together to your Mi account.

It is also time-consuming for the model that is not officially supported especially if you are new to Xiaomi. I spend around 2 weeks researching but it is done now.

I wanted to degoogle the phone as much as possible. I did not use MIUI and flashed ArrowOS 12L (vanilla variant - no gapps). Got the apps I needed from F-droid.

Luckily there is a huge gcam community for this model. The device with the gcam is producing stunning quality pictures and all cameras are available (wide, macro, main and selfie).

Lot of work but happy with the results. Thanks to all here for helping me with the start.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] x3r0.13urn:
I'm not sure about the PC must be tied to Mi Account, but yes, Mi Flash does gather some basic OS information when doing the unlocking process if I recall correctly.

I believe Redmi Note 10 Pro is officially supported, so does most if not all Global units of Mi/Redmi.

I still think I'm grateful Xiaomi still allow their bootloader to be unlocked, though the process is quite tedious. The only Chinese manufacturer that offers official way to do so is OnePlus and Xiaomi.

Realme is in grey area, if you can't find the thread in realme forum to unlock it, chances are you won't be able to unlock it, or have to find it in some shady forum (mostly copied/stolen from service center?). And not all unlock application is approved, hindering effort even further.

Oppo is the same as realme, officially they don't allow unlock bootloader though some deep test apk is available for some models through shady forums.

Vivo is even worse, no official way to unlock - workaround is available here in xda but integrated fastboot is useless.

Huawei is long betrayed dev community trust, and now have paid their own consequences.

Sony and Asus is non-Chinese, but their market is slim and limited. They offers unlocking and quite good resources though, kernel and such. Beware not to buy any carrier of those though, most of them cannot be unlocked in normal way.

Samsung is a wild card in here. They have biggest android market yet dev community looks less interested to thinker with them. I believe because they have Knox and non standard fastboot, or doesn't have it at all? (flash must through Odin, Heimdall, etc. which is similar to EDL)
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Elinx:
Thank you for this overview of smartphone brands and bootloader unlocking.

I wasn't aware that Xiaomi was almost the only one that have this official supported.

Formal I had a ZTE (Blade and Redbull), but from Redmi1S I always stayed with Xiaomi Redmi (Note 3,4,8,9,10)

Bootloader unlocking as with Xiaomi isn't the most pleasant activity and take you a week of patience, but plain and quite simple.

After this there are more challenges with new Android versions, custom rom's and ofcourse root, encryption and safetynet etc.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Fostel:
Words of wisdom! Thanks for the write-up, mate. I enjoyed the read.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] gazza35:
Some Sony phones are a complete nightmare lol, like the X10, once you unlock the bootloader BOOOOM, thats it, you cant relock it at all which is a problem, Samsung however are the easiest, ive always found there to be a ton of development for samsungs and the flashing methods using Odin is a walk in the park, easy, Huawei, great phone, loved my P20 Pro, however they withdrew all rights to unlock bootloader, can still be done tho, there is a good service online which does it fairly cheap, i like the Xiaomi, i just dont see any great development out there to make it worth my while tinkering, i think Miui is the strongest most reliable software avail so i have chosen to stay stock.

[Redmi Note 10 Pro] aLcaTr4z:
Try to get another level deeper into the system, by holding both volume buttons + power. When it vibrates and screen keeps dark, there u go.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] david003:
Just thought I'd note, regarding the waiting time. I unlocked my wife's old Note 4x for the first time yesterday, and it unlocked right away without waiting. It's been out of warranty for a long time, of course, and it looked like it hadn't been touched for about 3 years. I still had the xiaomi account info, though.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] SubwayChamp:
Older devices have no wait time, what specifically fits in this part IDK. But it could be a parameter, I unlocked instantly a RN7 months ago, but for my RN8P, still had to wait the 168 hours.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Fostel:
The brand-new Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro purchased from mi.com/uk are still encountering 168 hours of waiting time. Additionally, I couldn't unlock the next device on the same account. Had to create three accounts for 3 phones. And yes, I was trying to unlock them with more than 2 months in between.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] SubwayChamp:
That´s it, new devices have to wait at minimum 168 hrs. I read that 4 unlocks devices are allowed for a same account per-year.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Fostel:
I confirm I read that too, also they say it has to be 2 or 3 months in between devices. In my case they did not allow me to unlock the bootloader on the second device that I ordered 8 months after the first unlock so it seems not to be true. Creating a new account solved the issue for me.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] SubwayChamp:
Well, allowing 1 device per-quarter has sense, and this policy would be for one account.

Because both the sys.oem_unlock_allowed and the ro.oem_unlock_supported flags are set to 1 ( AKA true ) indicates that device's bootloader can get unlocked.

Thanks, I was worried that i somehow ****ed up. I am guessing that the phone just needs 168 hours of uptime to trigger the option to appear in settings. I tried the clock changing method but it didn't work so i got worried. Ill update this thread if the option does not appear in 5 days from now. Thanks for the help.

Hi,

I have an XDA Orbit 2 and wanted to isntall the new uDK 6.1 ROM onto it,

however have not attempted anything like this before.

Would installing it void my warranty?, and if so is there anyway I can change it back to factory setting if I do need to send it back to o2 for any reason?

Thank you,

Ok, thanks for the response,

I have read up everything and im ready to do my first ROM install :D

I found that i will lose my operator settings for o2,

Does any1 have the o2 operator settings cab that comes default to allow me to regain my ISP settings and such?

Thanks!

[OPPO Find X3 Pro] doubleknot:
My unit had heavy distortion in the top speaker when at max volume. Basically the earpiece would have a buzzing sound when playing any music with low frequency content from around 300Hz to 500Hz. This is reminiscent of the buzzing problems seen in the Pixel 3 and iPhone X.

I'm wondering if this is a one off issue.

To test visit this link:

https://szynalski.com/tone#399,v1

Make sure your phone is at max volume, and pay attention to see if your top speaker is "buzzing" as you change the frequency.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] latino147:
I don't know if it is the same thing you are hearing of course, but on max volume the top speaker make a slightly buzzing noise, as if it was vibrating a bit too hard.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] doubleknot:
Oof, sounds like this may be a widespread problem.

For me this is actually significantly worse than the iPhone X buzzing problem (https://9to5mac.com/2017/11/12/iphone-x-speaker-buzzing-distortion/). I had an iPhone X which was replaced free of cost by Apple.

I don't really consider this acceptable in a $1000 device.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] doubleknot:
Also reminds me of the similar issues that plagued Pixel 3 devices

https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/bk8h0c
. Google apparently had software updates. But a brief search indicates that this problem was not fixed for many users in software.

I suspect this is a widespread hardware defect in the Find X3 Pro that Oppo will have to fix in manufacturing.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] latino147:
I experience no buzzing or vibrations on the piano video
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] doubleknot:
Neither did I. It seems the Oppo Find X3 Pro has a different resonance frequency than the Pixel 3. My unit buzzes super heavily when a dude is speaking in a video, but not on the piano video.

I can consistently get my top earpiece to buzz abnormally at max volume at around 400Hz.

Not sure if this is a serious enough issue for you, but I initiated a return outside of the seven day period, and Oppo accepted the buzzing phone as a defective unit after I recorded a video.

I'm hesitant to accept a replacement unit (compared to just refund) if this issue is widespread.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] latino147:
Can you post that video, so we can check out if we are talking about the same level of vibration?
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] doubleknot:
I'm not comfortable sharing the video as Oppo asked me to provide identifying information (serial, proof of purchase) in the video, and I don't know enough about how to edit the video.

But the buzzing at 400Hz was audible.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] latino147:
What about making a new one without all that information? :)

Or have you sent it back already?
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] doubleknot:
Just sent it back today. Now I need to decide to accept a refund or a replacement :)
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] doubleknot:
One reviewer for the Find X3 Pro indicates the issues is also present on their review unit after I reached out in private, but did not believe this was something Oppo would fix unless attention was brought into the issue.

If you are having this problem, I encourage you to reach out to Oppo here:

Email Us, OPPO Customer Support | OPPO Global

Email us at support.en@oppo.com for inquiries, assistance, and more. You may also click here for more information.

Perhaps Oppo will pay attention and fix this in a hardware revision.

Hello , owner since yesterday of an Oppo Find X3 pro , and as i am still looking to get to know the phone and going into some tests (screen , colour accuracy , sound etc ) i did not got that buzzing sound that some other users sadly face....what i wanted to ask is , is there any YT video that we can use as a " sample" to check our own devices? mainly asking because here in Germany we have 2 weeks time to return no-questions-asked every electronic device..
