I tried disabling windows signature and using mi cloud at the same time while unlocking still no success
gets stuck at 50% and gives an error .. Please help,!!!

- Are you sure that you allow USB debbugging in developer options?
- You can check if maybe was unlocked? In developer options, sometimes result is ok but give a msg of error.
- If previous don't help just in this thread you find answer, it seems an issue of account signing https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-max/help/mi-account-question-t3535041

Same problem - My solution
Hi guys,
I've got the same problem and after following the standard tuto, my phone stucked at 50 %.
I'm on 8.1.9.0 global stable version.
The solution was just to go on the developper options and after unable usb and oem unlock, I changed the "mi unlock status".
I started after that the bootloader unlocking operation and everything went perfect.
Hope this could help.

Too bad...
Do you tyr to enable in dev options : debug USB to allow modification to PC ?
What is your rom version ? Did you previouly root your device ?
What is the error you've got when trying to unlocking ?
Be patient : we will find !!!

Hi, this is how I did it (autotranslated from italian, sorry):

Facing same problem here on helium 128GB, tried everything,
My account has unlock permissions (I've successfully unlocked hydrogen 3GB/32GB but sold it away)
USB debugging is on
logging in with the phone number (both in phone and on PC) Win 10 x64
only 1 device in the account,
find my device is on,
tracking device on i.mi.com
Previously I had Hydrogen and it unlocked on developer version but Helium doesn't have Global Developer and I'm on Nougat test Builds but I don't find a way to unlock it.

Have you guys done this?

In Mi Unlock Status I'm getting Error code 86012, very famous error, many people having it, infact there's a bug report for this error.
http://en.miui.com/thread-393857-1-1.html

On helium, does the unlock in dev options work on global developer rom only? Cant get this to work on global stable 8.1.9.0

Ensure that you login with phone number of Mi account and that there are no other devices in Mi account. If it still doesn't work as it did for me, post in MIUI forum and they will add you to senior group and it will work like a charm

Did you flash any ROM after buying the phone? Some sellers are using custom ROMs that looks like MIUI global, but it blocks people from rooting/unlocking. Had such situation on Redmi 4 Prime yesterday.

Mine is officially sold in India by MI (Xiaomi), I was able to unlock the bootloader, the problem was that I had 2 sims including registered sim in my phone, had to remove one and keep only the registered sim.

Do not forget to disable driver signature enforcement on windows
It is important to not stuck at %50

I had no problems.
MiTools worked perfectly.
When my cell phone arrived it was with shop rom.
I activated USB debugging on Mi6 and connected to the computer (Windows 10, x64).
But in my Redmi2, MiTools did not work. I had to use MiFlash.

Looking at the devices list linked in the post, looks like the answer is no. It actually says that bootloader unlock isnt supported at all. Possible that i'm just reading it wrong though.

I Think i might unlock my device after Android 10 will be officially released by Xiaomi, it's hard to say goodbye to MIUI it isn't that bad like a lot of people are saying around. Anyway if i may ask (maybe not appropriated thread but..) , how much time is needed from the moment i "request" the bootloader unlock?

Unfortunately it kind of varies. I got my Mi Mix 3 in March of 2019 and I only had to wait 3 days after connecting my Mi account to the phone to unlock the bootloader. My friend purchased a Mix 3 in June and had the same experience of 3 days. A third friend just bought the Mix 3 two weeks ago, and had to wait 7 days to unlock it. I'm not sure if Xiaomi increased it again, but compared to what it used to be (a few weeks/months) I consider us lucky they reduced it so significantly.

Well thanks for the answer. Between 3-7 days would be great for me. I can wait a week. I tought worse. Unfortunately they didn't give a code so if i want to play in advance by requesting unlocked bootloader i cannot that and "store" my code to unlock later?

2 solution
1/Flash by Sp flash tool in EDL mode. You can search on Youtube. Careful, it can remove your IMEI, only use Download only, dont use Format. (You can search unbrick hardbrick method, it's same)
2/Research about mtkclient and unlock bootloader instant.
If you need more help, find Telegram group and ask.

what's the name of telegram group?
Is this procedure?
Is possible to install directly TWRP and exclude ufficial ROM?

Unlock bootloader instant for MTK (unofficial way)
Rose in Redmi Note 8 Pro | Begonia 🇮🇩
🍝 UBL instan for mediatek 🍜
t.me
You can use translate to do it. It's not hard. And next time dont chose clean & lock on Mi flash.
You also can downgrade by that Sp flash tool also, just chose "Download only", chose other you can lose IMEI.
You need unlock bootloader for using Twrp and custom roms

Mtkclient can disable fastboot by the way (unlocking in the normal way also "unlocks fastboot")

General How to Install Windows 11 on Xiaomi Pad 5! Tutorial from Gizmochina

It’s been more than a year since the Xiaomi Pad 5 is here with all its high-end specifications consisting of Snapdragon 860 and Snapdragon 870 on respective models. Surprisingly, the Android tablet from Xiaomi can now run Windows 11 without any major bugs or flaws. As spotted on Geekbench running Windows 11 earlier this year, the build is now live for all the users via WOA Msmnile Project aka Mindows listed on Github. The Mindows project is been under development for the past several months.
............
Now, the user can flawlessly use Windows 11 on Xiaomi Pad 5. However, we recommend getting a USB Type-C adapter for use as a charger and connecting other utilities at the same time.
The performance will be a bit slow in comparison with Android on the Xiaomi Pad 5, but it is worth considering if you want the best multitasking.

if you can get to fastboot, try to unlock again, or flash china firmware.
If these options don't work, you will need to force it to EDL mode and have a dev account to flash it again. I find someon from tokyo, at 4 in the morning who could help me when I did this.
Your bootloader locked because you flashed stock rom and haven't changed the default value of "clear all and lock". happened to me as well. that, or you played with the tool and locked it in the BL tab.
