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.
After request boot loader unlock, & after seeing Wait 72hrs (countdown)etc. did it???
So, this is my 3rd Mi Mix product (2 mi mix, and 1 mi mix 2) and first Mi Mix 2...
Ok, so my account exists, and I updated and removed my previous mi mix 1...
I can connect my Mi Mix 2 to my laptop, I attempt to unlock the boot loader and I got the "Wait 72 hours" two days ago.
I am just curious to know if the boot loader can unlock sooner than the initial wait period request of 72 hours...
Has anybody gotten to this point, and then been able to unlock prior to the 72 hour period?
Do you receive a text message (like I did for both my previous two Mi Mix 1's) to alert you that you can unlock the boot loader?
Have others gone past the 72 hours wait period, if so, how much longer?
Cheers,
LormaD
Xiaomi's unlock periods are device specific / tiered.
This means the older the device is (in terms of release date) the shorter the waiting period is.
It seems that they use a 3-tier system here, with current gen flagship devices having to wait 360 hours, last gen flagship devices having to wait 72 and all others having to wait 24 hours.
So i'm considering OPO6 vs Mi Mix 2s and i had no idea about this waiting period... what the heck

I can understand the frustration about the waiting time but it shouldn't be a deciding factor for or against it.
After all: Once you unlocked it you will never face the issue again anyway.

You can create your MI Account and request boot unlock permission before you buy the phone.

Not always, I unlocked mines instantly as soon as the phone was bound to my account. I had unlock permission on my account from back when I had the Mi 5

No you can't... the mi unlock tool will insist to bind your device... There is NOTHING you can do in advance, other than to set up the working applications to make sure your Mi Mix / Mi Mix 2 / Mi Mix 2s connects properly to your computer / usb drivers etc...

First you have to ask Xoaomi permission to unlock a bootloader. After receiving permission, you have to bind your phone to your Mi account and then wait for 72 hours.
That's how I did it with two different phones. It might work in another way, I never tried.

Umm, actually, since you are a detail oriented person...
1) you need to buy the phone...
2) you need to charge the phone...
3) you need to open an account with Xiaomi...
4) you need to download the necessary drivers (usb type) for your Mi Mix so that you can communicate with the phone for a Windows Operating System...
5) you need to download the unlocking Xiaomi App from en.miui.com/unlock/ and while there make your request (it's INSTANTANEOUS)
6) you need to start up your Xiaomi phone and set it up, and log into your Xiaomi account on the phone.
7) you need to activate Developer mode, and access the folder to check status of your phone's unlock. And from there you can bind your phone to the account.
8) you need to turn off your phone, and start up the Xiaomi unlock app on the windows computer. Log in to your Xiaomi account, and while doing so, hook up your Xiaomi to the laptop by a USB cable.
9) you need to boot up your Xiaomi in fastboot mode, and once there your Xiaomi unlock program will request if you are willing to proceed and warn you that your phone will be wiped clean blah blah blah, and it is at this point...
a) older xiaomi product may unlock on the spot or within hours
b) Mi mix 2 and < will unlock within 72 hours
c) Mi Mix 2S > will unlock within 360 million years (hours )

To sum it up: you need to get a life and stop posting garbage. Just do what needs to be done and if you still don't like it get the f*ck outta here. Buy another f*cking phone.
What's your problem exactly? Do what you want and report back. We'll respect you more that way.

Yah, been facing the countdown resetting problem myself. i have 2 mi accounts one for my mi mix3 and one linked to my newly bought mi 9t which the mi 9t is the one i'm trying to unlock. last saturday i requested a unlock it said wait 7 days i'm ok, so here it is sunday a day after i was suppossed to get the unlock and it's still saying 7 days so i linked the mi 9t to my veteran acct and that one says 360 hour wait so i linked it back to its other acct and it says the same 7 days and it hasn't moved so def there countdown ticker sucks ass. FYI theres diff versions of mi unlock and i have like 3 installed on my computer and there all a lil diff so there unlock BS is about as good as there udates buggy AF. Just trying to get away from there software cause it sucks and get a custom rom in this turd before i lose my ****.
Hey guys, i had trouble unlocking my phone following different guides and now that i've done it, i thought i would share the steps i did so it may help other users.
Let's do this:
1. First turn off any VPN both on your pc and phone.
2. Download the mi unlock tool.
3. On your phone disconnect your main mi account. (we will create a new mi account that we gonna only use for the unlocking process)
4. On Pc create a new mi account with email only. (you won't use any phone number in the whole process.)
5. On Pc go to your email box and click on the link to activate your mi account.
6. On your phone add your new mi account account (it will ask you phone number just choose "other ways to sign in" and put your new mi account "email and pass")
7. On your phone go to Additional settings > developper options. and check the OEM unlocking.
8. On Pc go to i.mi.com they will ask you to upgrade your account. don't do it. instead click on the find device purple bouton. (it doesn't matter if it locate your phone or not).
9. On your pc let that window open and minimize it. Open Mi unlock tool.
10. Turn off your phone and boot on fast boot "volume down + turn on" connect your phone to your pc and press "Unlock".
Your phone should get unlocked instantly when reaching 100%. Press reboot phone.
PS: If you still having trouble you can create as many mi accounts as you want and try the different steps again.
Hi
Not working, created new account, added it to my new Redmi Note 5 for unlock, all step done, but had the 360 hours to wait message at the end.
Unlock process gets to 99% and then "Current account is not bound to this device" message. If I do that I have to enter my phone number.
Does it matter if I have a SIM inserted?
Ok, after chasing the magic unicorn and 8 accounts later I can say that I have my doubts that it is possible with any of these methods.
You really have to wait 15 days to unlock. This really lowers the value of this phone a lot.
PS.: You need the (official) Dev ROM (global/chinese doesn't matter I guess) so that you can maybe unlock it in 15 days. Otherwise you get the "Current account is not bound to this device" no matter what you do.

I know the pain that's why i shared my experience. Lol
For your previous question it doesn't matter to have the sim card or not.
Other than that my friend got a new vince phone and unlocked it with those steps after 3 attempts with 3 different accounts. The third account made him meet the magic unicorn.
voila its working with first attempt,thanks
What was the message in the other two attempts? @amine4ever

The error was that it has to wait some days before he can unlock it. And he bypassed it with new account.
Hmm, I always get the "Current account is not bound to this device" message if I dont bind it.
PS.: Is it possible that you need an old main/first account?

try flashing developer rom ,
I already use the dev ROM otherwise I wouldn't even be able to bind the account.
I guess the problem is that you need an old account for this method.
PS.: Btw the method described here is without binding if I understand it correctly, but I tried it with and without.

without binding it doesnt work, u need to bind it and locate device in mi site
Yeah ok, that is what I did because I had to. I just can't get over the 360h cap and it gets reset every time I change account.
How old is the first/main account you are using, @AkashAlien?

To get to the 360h wait you need to bind your account. If you get the 86006 error you probably need to use one of the dev ROMs (Global or Chinese).

Care to share your Mi Unlock app?
EDIT: IT WORKS!
I used the old version miflash_unlock-en-2.3.803.10 (link https://www.xiaomigeek.com/download-mi-flash-unlock-tool.html) instead of the latest 3.3.525.23.
Other than that, just follow the steps from OP.
No need binding.
Old ver of mi unlock doesn't check for binding (although it still asks to login - use the new account to login to mi unlock)

i used the old version as well, it works guys, no need to wait 15 days, i tried with my old acc, got error:need to wait 360h, then created a new acc, binded it, unlock, done
Is it possible to bypass the 360 hours limit by using a friend's account that has recently unlocked his own phone? (Mi Note 4)
Scared to try since my account has 233 hours remaining, don't want to reset it
If you try to unlock using your friend account then your unlock time will reset to 360hours.
Yeaah, tried it. It told me to bind my device to my friend's account. I realised after binding it won't unlock my phone + my account's timer will reset as well.
I guess I'll just have to wait
Well... I don't want to wait 7 days so I'm asking for this. Just for unlocking because nothing else seems to work.
PM please if you want to help me
sry but why should someone lend you his account?
if you dont want do give them your data/mail
just create a fake account with thrash mail
I want to avoid the 168hrs for unlocking my bootloader.
Even with an existing account you will have to wait.
The time starts when you ask for unlocking, it does not start after creating the account.

I thought that after any MI Account User waited the requested time, you could ask for unlock without restriction (1 device per month)
