I need help. I can't unlock my bootload，Who has an unofficial method？

I tried every possible way to unlock my mi6, but they all failed, including the international version, the Chinese version, I want to use the third-party rom and root, but I can't unlock my device so that I can't brush in recovery, I tried to force brush in recovery, but my mi 6 can't start, so I want to ask if there is any unofficial way to help me solve the problem of unlocking bootload, please don't tell me to use the official tools, because I tried. Who has an unofficial way to help me, thank you

AFAIK there's no unofficial bootloader unlock for the Mi 6 now.
You might get one eventually but it is unlikely since even though the three days waiting sucks it does work...
What was not working on the unlock?
Did you bind the account on your phone and then wait three days (minimum) and then use the unlock tool (latest version)?
If not then try again.
Give us more information and we can help you.

All I have tried, before this, I have a mi5, I think I should know how to unlock, it should not be my problem, unlock tool tips I did not bind, but I was bound state, I tried Kind of version fails, the same problem, my account already has permission, I think there are unofficial mys5 bootload method, I think mi6 may also exist, so I come to ask you a solution? In fact, there is a region in our country can be solved by mail bootload but need to pay, I do not want to pay do not want to mail. So to ask

First. flash the Chinese development rom,
and then unlock

At which point you failed?
1. Failed on 99% unlock tool?
2. Failed to get the system unlock on Developer Options (the error appear as toast and say something like "10008 参数错误 请参考API文档") ?
If it's #2, then you must connect to any VPN server that is located in Mainland China (Beijing/Shanghai).
If it's #1, then you most likely have to wait 72 hours after you receive your unlock permission from your SMS.
I've just unlocked Mi Mix 2 2 weeks ago. The difference I noticed from when I unlocked my Mi6 is that I need to connect to VPN server in China. Half a year ago, I don't need to do that.

Thanks for your help, I have unlocked successfully. Will you compile the rom? I have encountered some problems.

error 86006

When the error 86006 is going to resolve?? Bootlader is locked and stuck with a lock bootloader please help.

Ignore the error, after getting the SMS from the mi unlocked site, directly use the mi unlocked tool.
This has been answered before, please search the forum next time.

I think fastboot flashable rom can be flashed in qloader mode without unlocking, but make sure first it does, good luck

Original post:
Hey guys,
my Redmi Note 5 Global arrived today. I have the permission for unlock since 2 years, so I tried to unlock it with no success. First I got an unknown error and after some attempts I got the message: Couldn't Unlock "After 360 hours of trying to unlock the device".
Is there a way to solve this? I've found no solution so far, would a new mi account with new permission solve the problem?

Tried 2 new account. First I get an error that my account is not bound to the device, then I bind it and the 360 hours message is back

The secret trick is not to Bind your account in Developer Options, but just log in on the device.

Then there's the following error. Tried it with 3 mi accounts, with and without VPN, disabled firewall...
Don't know what I'm doing wrong :|

Have you logged in to the same account on phone as the unlock tool. Again Don't BIND in developer options.

Yes. Everytime the same error
These are the steps I'm doing, maybe there's something obvious wrong or I'm too stupid^^
1. Try to unlock with first account --> 360h
2. Reboot phone, logout from mi account. Login into the second mi account.
3. Reboot in Fastboot --> sign out on the mi unlock tool and sign in with the second account --> current account is not bound to the device.
After the 360h message from the first account, the mi unlock tool should be not touched?
Edit: Tried also the way with removing the device from I.mi.com. My RN5 has no inserted sim card, is that a problem? Just wifi.
Edit 2: Tried also with closing mi unlock tool between the 2 unlock attempts and with inserted sim card, same result.

Uhmm, you should also try to clear the cache of MI unlock tool. Otherwise, it gives you same error no matter how many times you try. That's what I'd do. It might not work but try it and redo the procedure. Share the results

Can't exactly remember. Look in file menu for about option in mi unlock tool and in that if I remember correctly there should be a log button. If you click that a directory will open. Remove all the files. It may not be accurate as I'm not at home right now.

Xiaomi has fixed the issue, so now you will have to wait 360h.

I wondered, I fiddled a bit with the config, and I saw:
C:\Users\me\Downloads\miflash_unlock-en-3.3.525.23\config\app_info
Inside:
"http://update.miui.com/updates/mi-updateV6.php?v=1.0.0.0&c=4.1&d=miflash_unlock"
Maybe there's a way to call an OLDER api version
I don't have time to play with that, but maybe it's a good hint to solve the issue.
Cheers,

It saying Could not unlock after 50 hours of try. even it tried about 10 seconds.

you can try to turn off sync in your mi account

Unlocking the bootloader
While unlocking the bootloader, I went to developer settings and was trying to unlock the device.
Don't disconnect from the network, sign out of your Mi Account, perform a factory rest, or erase system data. If you've already done any of the above, add your Mi Account again; otherwise, you won't be able to unlock your device.
I was getting this error, after restarting the phone, signing out and signing in; the same issue.
I even did a factory reset but had the same issue.
Please let me know what can be done.

Note 5 pro (Indian) - multiple errors - need help

Hi all,
I am having very peculiar issues for which I need your help. I want to unlock boot loader of my phone. When i bought the device i was on 9.2.7 and updated to 9.5.6.0 (OEIMIFA).
The issues I am facing are :-
1) 86006 error for binding.
2) Tried to sync my phone with mi cloud and find device (as an alternate solution) but the website is not able to find my device. I have given all the permissions to all the mi apps but even then the my phone is not "connected" - it just shows "just a sec" on the website. Surprisingly sync works and has backed up my contacts and sms.
After going through all the mi forum and the xda forums, i think its update which has screwed up with the mi cloud or I have missed something in between.
Please let me know if something can be done as I am fed up with the camera focus issues in 9.5.6.0.
I have searched all threads and forums and no one had similar issues, even then if there exists other thread then mods please merge it with that one.
Thanks,
VK

Bro, just try unlocking your bootloader directly though mi unlock tool without binding account or anything, it will get unlocked as happened for various users.
Also dont forget to enable oem unlocking and usb debugging settings in developers section.

Thank you for your reply bro, I have already tried it and it does not work for me. In the MI unlock tool it gives error message and instructs to bind the account.

Same issue I'm also facing if you find any solution please send me too or if I find I will send you.

me too

Most problems on unlocking bootloader of xiaomi devices are because the users don't want to wait 360hours after binding account on the developer options, and then try whatever they found on internet to speed up the process, or they follow outdated tutorials.
