Offline bootloader unlocking - Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers

Does anybody know any method of manually unlocking the bootloader?
My account already has permission but can't seem to link my device to the account with the "couldn't verify please try again after a minute or two". It is a known issue and I've already tried a couple of tutorials, tricks, you name it. Even raised it at the forum and of course, gets ignored.

No problem with mine.just unlocked last night
I had the same issue. You can try logging out and logging in from the first page on htcdev.com, not from the page to unlock.
I can't log in either. set up account but then can't log in.
i got as far as the token copy pasting and it took about 10 tries for HTC to accept my token, so they are probably having a lot of problems. ;p
Having the same problem Grrrrrrr...
HTC Dev Site
Issue still not fix! sigh. I wonder if HTC peeps are doing something about it? I have tried all suggestions above but none worked.
Has nothing to do with it .
For those that used a specific email or username prior on the site they require you to use a unused email address everything u unlock a bootloader can't use same email

Almost every link i click (register, unlock bootloader, the link that came in the mail for unlock bootloader proces) i get redirected to
htcdev com/resources (cant use links due to restrictions)

[Q] Trouble Unlocking Bootloader

Hi All,
First I would like to say that I really like this community, everyone helps one another! Now on to my concern.....
I have the Sony Xperia S and now I would like to flash custom roms onto it. I have done this before with my previous phone which was an HTC Wildfire S, so I know a bit about unlocking/s-off. I know that we need to unlock the bootloader to do so and I have read the guides on this forum. (specifically DooMLoRD's guide) I followed it to the letter and I still have not succeeded.
I believe the problem lies in my IMEI code which when I go to the sony unlockbootloader website gives you the unlock code for your phone. I have been trying to unlock this phone for 2 days now!
Sony's website says that we need to input the first 14 numbers of the IMEI code in order to receive the unlock key. Well my code is 16 numbers long. I have tried entering different numbers in order to get different codes (i know this doesnt help much since the codes are specific to the phone but I am desperate now ) and all of them still give me the same error
(bootloader) Unlock phone requested
FAILED (remote: oem unlock failed!)
finished. total time: 0.020s
I have read that this is mainly due to an incorrect key. I have read around the forums and no one seems to give a definitive answer other than "try entering your IMEI again and get another code". Well that wont work with me since the code given to me is always the same.
Can anyone help resolve this?
P.S.
I have all the drivers, software, etc. Even the one click programs such as SE Bootloader_Unlocking_Relocking_1.6. All give the same oem error. I also rooted my phone successfully using Eroot1014, found it on a different website and was scared at first since it was in chinese or korean but it worked anyway.

For purposes of convenience and time (I have been trying to unlock this phone for 2 days now!) I will post my IMEI code here ( 3529000059203526 ) and the unlock code given to me by sony through email (61CAA387DC11C4CF).
I hope this doesnt break any rules or anything.
I am doing this to see if anyone here can help me. Sony's website says that we need to input the first 14 numbers of the IMEI code in order to receive the unlock key. Well as you can see my code is 16 numbers long, so in effect I only entered up to number "5". I would like to know if anyone is willing to test my IMEI and see if they get the same code. I have tried entering different numbers in order to get different codes (i know this doesnt help much since the codes are specific to the phone but I am desperate now ) and all of them still give me the same error

One line of advice "PLEASE DO NOT POST YOUR IMEIs" anywhere on the web!!! It is very risky and all xda members will agree with me.
The unlock code which sony gave you isn't the one which will help you unlock your phone. The unlock codes are only numbers and there are 4 level codes like SPCK, NCK. NSCK, CCK. Please check your PM for more details.

Glad to hear im not alone . No I still haven't found a way to unlock it. Sorry for asking but what does "PN" mean? Just so we are clear.
Ok thanks for your answer. No problem, but its just a mistake. Correctly it should be "PM" for personal message. I thought you would write on this way so I cant read any reasults
UPDATE:
I have tried other processes that all have the same steps, be it they were simplified programs with GUI's. I have come to the conclusion that my fastboot driver was installed incorrectly, because the first time I installed it on my phone I was able to see the S1 bootloader icon on device manager and I was able to click on it fast enough to enable it to install the driver. And correct me if im wrong but when we press UP on the volume rocker on our XS's and connect it to the USB we should see a blue right light? Well that is what happens when I do it so I assume I installed it correctly then.
Now after these first few failed attempts at unlocking I got frustrated and just factory reset my phone, completely ( I made back ups of course). This time however I used a program which is suppose to install all the drivers and simplify the whole unlocking process, I dont remember what program exactly, i'll check my files and get back to you guys on that.
Again it failed, showing the FAILED ("oem" error message) so I checked the steps from Doomlords guide and re checked my device manager. This time when I connect my phone it doesnt show the S1 bootloader icon on Dev manager, instead it shows "android phone ADB Interface". BUT I still get the blue LED when I connect my phone via USB, so does that mean I have fastboot on my phone again? ( I assume I do because the program I used says it did install it correctly and it even showed the "install anyway" window)
I am almost loosing all hope to unlock my XS , maybe I got a lemon phone or did something wrong again. I am willing to do another factory reset and restart the whole process again. This time I will follow every single step on the official website and see what happens.
But before I do that I want to ask, does anyone know of any news or whereabouts for an unofficial unlock bootloader process? I know its a long shot because we already have an official way but as from recent experience it doesnt work 100% of the time.
Really nice discription from you, thanks a lot for that
I think your precess that to tried to unlock was nearly the same as mine, but I didn't recognize any other info in the device manager. It's just this "ADB device installed" or something, but I dont know whether it was the same before the whole problem. I didnt really checked it because my first time unlocking the device was secceeded
Maybe thats one of our problems but how should it work correctly? The summary of the sdk driver program was "installation succeeded"...
Is it possible, that the kernel of the last andoid version (AOKP) i flashed is still "in" my device and just cant answer because the bootloader is closed??? Just an idea :/

Thanks for the input. Glad to hear your unlocking succeeded, as to the idea that the AOKP or is it AOSP? Well whatever the acronym is, if the kernel of my phone is a reason for my errors, then I would look into that further, because what I did in my first go was simply follow the guide of Doomlord and when that failed I looked elsewhere.
That was when I tried rooting my phone even with a locked bootloader and it worked. I had to update my kernel to .55 from .45 and used a program that did the rest. That COULD be a cause but if its just a kernel it shouldn't disable my bootloader unlocking process since its just a part of the ROM right? That's my understanding of it. Correct me if im wrong.

First off, if you're using Windows 7, chances are that your drivers are at fault. If you have the latest Flashtool, you can use those drivers (C:\Flashtool\drivers or C:\Program Files\Flashtool\drivers). If the drivers are correct, then when you boot into fastboot mode, the blue LED is supposed to stay on with a black screen until you unplug and restart your phone (or whatever the guide says).
It was AOKP, the advanced project for this device.
I think your right, but in how far is the bootloader linked to the needed kernel? And why cant the bootloader be unlocked several times...?
Of course the kernel is a main part of the rom, but without an unlocked bootloader even the kernel would not be accepted by the bootloader. Thats the problem with other firmwares/ roms why you have to unlock it
I remember that there was another way to root the stock rom with a little windows batch file that works like a little restore file for the phone.
You can find the link in this forum or here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
For this tool you just need one of the supported firmwares, then you start it and choose your option for the device like 1 for "normal".
The phone will ask you to restore the data that appears on the touchscreen. If it works the batch file will show you the result, otherwise the programm will run "forever". And of course it doesnt work with my device, but what is such wrong the original stock? Does it also has to do with the bootloader??? Or do I just have the wrong firmware (6.1.A.2.55) ?

I am using Windows 7 and I have used flashtool. I believe the drivers are correct because,as you said, the blue LED does show and stay while I fastboot my phone. Same goes for the green LED when I go to flashboot.

I have rooted my phone. But since I factory reset it, I unrooted it to start fresh. Everything on my phone is stock again because I want to eliminate any variables that would otherwise mess up the bootloader unlocking process. which I still have yet to achieve

First, unlock your bl. Then root. I done that on my old Arc S and it works great.

@ Tread3r:
Yes the drivers are installed correctly, because the phone starts into fastboot and flashboot with each the right light.
Thats the great problem with our devices. I did it nearly the same way and Ive got a similar problem, as the first answers describe in this post. Actual the original stock rom is installed on my Sony and all works correctly, but its just a short-term workaround
The bootloader unlockind process still end in an error message and that is my problem.
@ Vatih:
Nice try, but this is our problem... :/
---------- Post added at 11:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:57 AM ----------
I cant believe it myself, but the alternative way works, althought I cant read anythink in the tool because of the language...
I've got the superuser app and root permissions and all works.
This link helped me: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39498268
It's the tool for the "new" firmware, .55, the latest from sony.
Hope, its also succesfully with your devices
I solved our problem. My bootloader is now open
I did it with the unlock, flashtool tool of this forum that helps you to open the bootloader and flash kernels and roms.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2087337
Seems like just the code was wrong.
It worked with the first try
But be careful, although its just the bootloader, all data will be deleted. My phone is empty again :/ Of course I've got some backups...

SM9600 - Want to flash US firmware for Samsung Pay. Have questions

I've got a SM9600, purchased in US from BH Photo Video but it appears to be Spanish model and hence Samsung Pay wouldn't work.
Per some advice from random threads on internet, I factory reset it last night but that didn't change anything.
I now want to flash a US firmware but thought of checking with you guys first.
Two questions,
1. I noticed someone adviced not to flash a G960F/FD. Is it okay for G9600 to be flashed?
2. My biggest concern is of any side effect. Does flashing stock firmware change anything at all from stock behavior? I use the phone for work and the enrollment process is security sensitive. If there is any change in Knox status, device unlock status, rooting etc, I'll be out of work email access. It needs to be in stock condition
Also, if someone can guide me to the right firmware and guides, I'll appreciate it.
I have a us model if you wanna trade
Good day to everyone, well i have the same model but mine is for a customer it has been hard reset by the owner, but she does forget the google account on da phone, I was trying to flash it with a combination, it has given me an error frp is enabled not allowed to download non frp boot binary, i don't have a clue how to get ride of it.
Please help

You have to register your xiaomi account for unlocking at http://en.miui.com/unlock/. The error you are getting means you are not registered.

First- The process to apply is now simplified, so we no longer have to give a reason for unlocking on mi.com/unlock and it doesn't send u an SMS confirmation now. U just get the waiting time on mi unlock tool. Here is the thread-
http://en.miui.com/thread-246705-1-1.html
I get directed to download page directly after filling in my login credentials.
Yes, i clicked on find device and my device was located.
As for the error 86012, i have tried Plex VPN and many other VPNs and set the server to Hong Kong/ China but it did not work. Later i read on XDA that u can unlock even with error 86012.
Yes indeed. Checked that just now and the driver is shown as Xiaomi Corp.
No, I haven't tried another USB cable.
When i try with older version of Xiaomi unlock i can not login as it gives network error everytime.
No OEM unlock is not greyed out.
Hope u can help me now.
Thank you for this information, this link is the most useful from all the stuff i have read so far. Didn't know that no sms confirmation is required.
So, what happens if you enable OEM unlocking in Developer Options and then unlock in fastboot mode?
Code:
fastboot oem unlock

My device is global version and i have MIUI 10 Global dev at present but I also tried unlocking at MIUI 9.5 which is the version Riva was shipped with. The result was still the same. Seriously idk what to do anymore. And yeah regarding that bug report, i gave not tried unlocking after i got the error Couldn't verify. I'll try once again to check if i'm getting some other error this time on unlock tool. But at present i don't have my Laptop so it might take a day or two. If u need the bug reoprt sooner do tell me. I'll upload it right away( I guess there's no point clinging to a small ray of hope now). Anyways thanks mate!!

Here's the bug report. I tried using command fastboot oem unlock again but it didn't work.
the logfile says CloudDeviceStatus stateCode 200 "ok" which means it has a successful connection to server, but then gives error device not found code 86012 description "设备不存在".
this may have different reasons (but i am not that expert):
a) the data on server is deleted - server fault?
b) access denied - account fault?
c) the device-id (or whatever they submit) election is empty or invalid - rom issue?
d) account is not binded to device?
Is this phone brand-new, do you still remember all accounts used from this device? Log-in to every single account and delete all binded devices, then use the very first account only. For my understanding only one account can be granted permission. Just try over and over again after 15 days - sorry i can not help

Bought the phone in August 2018. The account that im trying to unlock with is the acc. I created in this phone.
Thnx mate for ur help. I can not thank u enough for what u have done. Prior to this also i had created threads in MI community, asked for help in via posts in XDA thread but no one gave a damn about my problem. Thnx again for at least digging this deep in the problem.
You can send a email to customer support with subject unlocking: 设备不存在 and attach the filtered log file from my post - or even post this error again. You are clearly not the only one, this is a common problem. You can search in chinese forums, too. Please keep this thread updated, it will be helpful for others. I am facing this problem too, my son has Redmi 5a and i failed unlocking bootloader so the phone never was rooted, therefore has no TWRP and in case the screen will brake i don't know how to rescue data... at the moment for him best solution is "never touch a running system" and @xaacnz 's method is high risk for bricking we should better not try with daily driver
edit: post it on youtube channel too, or send a private message with invitation to your xda thread

Ok I will. Btw bout that yt channel, I just have to add a comment right? I'll create another thread on Mi forums about this problem. It really sucks not being able to unlock bootloader. TBH the only reason i bought this phone was because on searching the forums I found that this was the only device in my budget that had this many cusroms and other mods. I really am disappointed at how it turned out.
Hope we can find a solution soon!

"avoid flashing any firmware or any MIUI ROM which is older than what you're using now otherwise you'll brick your device"

Anti rollback is not related to this error. But i have tried with latest version of MIUI beta -8.9.20. It did not work. Also tried it on the latest global stable. Still no result.
Just heard that Riva has started receiving Oreo in china devepoper which means it will come to global very soon. I can only hope that this issue of "Current........this device" gets resolved after this major update. Fingers crossed.:fingers-crossed:

I strongly believe that you need to wait for a month at least before you can unlock your Redmi 5A again(unless you have done something that Xiaomi decided to lock it for good). I accidentally locked my bootloader after doing a"flash and lock" on the MIUI DEV rom, then unlocked 2nd time after 32+ days, while on the DEV Rom
