Sorry Bro..There is no way to get ICS BETA on locked bootloaders..atleast,not yet.
If you cant unlock your bootloader then it would be better to wait for the official release..

just unlock using omnius. its 15 euros. doesnt matter if you have a network lock

is it a 100 % way to get the bootloader unlocked?
could you post the link please, thanks!

If you can't unlock the bootloader because of operator restrictions omnius may be the way to go.
If you can't figure out the unlocking process, you should be careful. Flashing things on your phone and installing beta ROMs can cause many problems far more difficult than unlocking the bootloader.
I say this from experience cos I don't know much about Android and I've dug many holes for myself in the learning process. Good luck

How to unlock mi max bootloader without permission

So guys,I've applied to unlock my bootloader to xiaomi.After over a month of waiting I don't think are going to send me the SMS,are there any unofficial ways to unlock my mi Max's bootloader as of now?

No, but you can flash TWRP and do anything you want without unlocking it. See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-max/how-to/guide-install-global-miui8-root-t3435594

That's what I have been doing but installing a ROM with a locked bootloader in my case will result in data not working.Ice tried several Roms.

Dont wait for the sms. Try unlocking it using the MiFlashUnlock. It should work. I also did not receive the sms but tried after 3 days and it went through fine. Bootloader is unlocked.

Hi,can you post a link for MiFlashUnlock?

http://en.miui.com/unlock/download_en.html
http://bigota.d.miui.com/miflashunlock/MiFlashUnlock_1.1.0317.1_en.zip

Anything? Like Magisk http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/mod-magisk-v1-universal-systemless-t3432382 ?

WARNING - Don't bootloader LOCK your phone.

a) There is no logical reason to bootloader lock a phone. You will gain nothing.
b) If you lock it there is a high probability you won't ever be able to bootloader unlock it again - no more mods - ever.
EDIT: Perhaps if you flash the "correct stock" meaning one like/identical to the one that you originally had on your phone when you unlocked it the first time, it will work...
Think about this, please, before you flash things!!!

Do you refer to lock and unlock the bootloader? I locked and unlocked it much times and I've never had problems (obviously considering the bootloader version).

Thanks for replying - could you perhaps write a guide as to exactly how you unlock your bl after using fastboot lock?
I have seen a few folks who appear stuck at that point and I and they would be happy campers if they could get around that!!!
Thanks!
EDIT: I added a comment about "correct stock" to the first post... This may be key to the folks that are having trouble...

You might look at thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z-play/help/please-help-urgently-t3814260
But I guess I would have to call anyone who successfully locks and unlocks again their bootloader as darn lucky. Some, (many?) can't.
In the end I still have to ask "why the heck are you locking your phone" - what could you possibly gain? It's totally unnecessary. it can be a very expensive little line of code.

I lock my phone all the time, multiple times per day even! It's really easy to unlock: I simply put my finger on the sensor and voila!
Maybe you mean the bootloader? That would be a helpful little detail to add to the title of your post.

I've locked mine as I upgraded to a Pixel 2 XL and gave my Z Play to my father, so I don't really care if I can't unlock it again, but I'm sure that wouldn't be an issue anyway.

I prefer stock without modifications but sometimes when i have time to try news modifications or roms i used to unlocked the phone and after this relock again, the process that i use is very simple, i just unlock with the same code that Motorola gaves to unlock bootloader, i don't have sure but if you request unlock codes to many times can be a problem but i use the same code and works good.
Basically: relock as are specifcified in another topic in this device forum( using the last stock version that you used)
And after this unlock with code again
Obs.: Is not recommended to unlock/relock to many times.
Obs2.: I only did this three times and i don't know if has a limit

It is my opinion also that relocking is a bad idea. But if someone likes to do it, eg to get Google Pay working without Magisk, why do you want to warn him?
Relock only is possible in combination with flashing a complete correctly firmware. If something is wrong with the firmware you flash, relocking won't succeed. Your device won't be locked if it does not fully succeed or the firmware is not correctly signed. The unlock code is supposed to stay valid, you should be able to unlock your device as many times as you want using the same code.
a) is fine, but does not consider Android SafetyNet
b) is just wrong, and this already was written in a comment.
Please do not bump wrong warnings.

Question POCO F3 Warranty

If I use ADB to remove bloatware on the F3, will I lose my warranty? Is the Xiaomi ADB official (from Xiaomi)? Do I also lose my warranty if I unlock the bootloader and install a custom ROM? If not does Xiaomi say so on their website? What is the difference between using ADB and just deleting them manually? Thanks!

You will not use your warranty by using adb to remove bloatware. However you do waver your warranty by unlocking the bootloader to put a custom ROM on it. However you can theoretically still get a replacement despite this wavering of a warranty

Thanks! What do you mean theoretically? Can I just install MIUI again and lock the bootloader and sent it for warranty, without them finding out that I unlocked it?

You should be find. I have never had a Xiaomi and so didn't know how supportive they are. The official advice by Xiaomi is here:
What do you need to know about unlocking?
First and foremost you can only unlock your own device. This means the unlocking tool you downloaded must be logged in with the same Mi account on your device. One Mi account could only unlock one device within 30 days
Isn't locking bootloader against Mi's 'geek' spirit?
Locking bootloader is aimed to provide a better user experience, which we've been trying to do the whole time. In the meantime, we've provided an unlocking tool for senior users who know their ways around flashing and tweaking their devices.
The unlocking procedure will need Internet access to get the unlocking password. Also, the Mi Account logged in on the Mi phone and the unlocking tool needs to be the same. Otherwise, the unlocking request will be denied. This will ensure that ill-intentioned people will not get access to your personal data.

And that's where I come in.
I sent my Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro as a guarantee having had the precotion of flashing the global rom and re-locking the bootloader (I had a problem with my antenna, I received nothing).
They supported my Mi 9T Pro without any problem

Question Will this work with this phone?

I saw this thread explaining how to unlock bootloader without losing data
Unlock bootloader without losing data
For those who are waiting to unlock bootloader but don´t want to lose data this quick guide is intended to do so. Usually in most of threads out there about unlocking anyone find the typical phrase "unlock bootloader erase all your data" like is...
forum.xda-developers.com
Will this work with Mi 11x? Has anyone tried it?

No. Because mi unlock tool is now changed.

How about using the same version that he uses in the guide?

Old tool works only on older devices. Newer ones are patched and the workaround doesn't work except a few new tools that work only on Mediatek exploits

I see. Thanks!
