Hi everyone,
is there any way at all to unlock the bootloader of the Redmi Note 5 Pro (whyred) without giving xiaomi a phone number? I absolutely don't want to do that and it's the one thing keeping me from buying one (well, and the ARB isn't helping, but I could probably deal with that without bricking).
Thanks for any answers
As you do not longer require to seek permission to unlock, just create a Mi Account with an email address. And you will get permission straight away but still have to wait 360 Hours (15 Days) once you register your device.
Don't use throw away accounts, because you may need access to the account in the future, if you factory reset without removing accounts from device.
As far as I know, you're not required to give them a number. To create a Mi account you can enter both an email and a mobile number. In my account there is no mobile number, for example.
Thank you for your helpful answers, looks like they recently changed the procedure and made it easier
I entered my MI account no, worked fine.
Is this (still) fully possible? After signing in to the unlocking tool, it asks to add a phone number. How to continue otherwise?

Can anyone guide me on the information and what it stands for in the pic below. I tried unlocking my bootloader but was unable via setool and I received error 144 so im not sure if its because their server is offline or if its because of something else. Though I have plenty of credits. Every other phoned unlocked fine today, well the semc ones eg w995 etc.

I have the exact same info in my phone. I would like to know the answer to what the network 5 means as well. I imagine will work on 5 networks or is locked to 5 networks, god knows.
The "X" Means your handset is Sim locked, will only work with the carrier/network it was purchased from, and afaik the 5 is the ammount of times you have left to enter the unlock code.
Thats weird because though my phone is o2 locked ive used a 3 sim in my phone. However what does the rest of it mean? I.e. The 0's and corporate etc

I cannot do anything without visiting service center because i my account is not authorized for flashing operation
Question:
Is there really no option? Maybe a new method popup recently?
I will be grateful for your response.

Yes, something like that. I don't remember exactly the message. But directly after this message, i got this message as in print screen which I've attached before.
I need someone to help me unlock this phone. I bought through Facebook marketplace. I need to get it Sim free to work with verizon. T-Mobile does nothing because I have zero information about who sold it to me. Can someone direct me to unlock codes (Free) or paid unlock codes that work for this device specifically. Need this handles ASAP. Working unlock codes that I can use please would be very helpful. Otherwise I can't switch carriers ever with device.
I have imei for phone and last name on the account for T-Mobile
Try use T-mobile unlock device app to check device is eligible to be unlocked or not.
you device imei to check paid service for you
It said ineligible code 255, that's why I need an unlock code to buy.

For now. They can report it stolen at ANY time and you'll be screwed.
Greetings.
Could you please advise how to check whether I can just insert any of my sim cards or if the device is locked?
I know about this URL https://store.google.com/us/repair
I've tried to post there the IMEI of the phone I wanted to buy, but it looked me the following result:

I was concerned about "AT&T" string so I haven't bought this device (just don't want to play with soft unlock).
Does it really show the reality of lock status?
Thank you.
Hi. That's only telling you it's the AT&T "variant" of the Pixel 6 Pro - not that the phone is locked. You might have to call AT&T and give them the IMEI, and see if they can tell you if the device has since been carrier unlocked because I *think* they only unlock the carrier after the original person has paid the phone off.
It has definitely happened before where someone bought a phone recently and only then found they couldn't use it with their carrier because it was locked to a different carrier, so it does happen.
If through your efforts, you can't determine 100% that the phone is now carrier unlocked, I wouldn't take the chance. Buy an already unlocked phone straight from Google, or anyone retailer that sells the factory unlocked model.
Hey, so I did something wrong and now I got the system is broken, I've looked on the internet and downloaded the miflashtool, login into my account where my phone is linked but it ask me to add a phone number, something I forgot to do before, problem is I manage to send a text once but the sim was in my phone and I couldn't get the code in time, I tried a second time but all I get "Something went wrong. Try in a minutes or two" and it's been 19 hours since I try to do it, so I'm looking on a way to ass this number once and for all or even bypass the mi account verification
Any idea ?
Update I did manage to add my phone but now I have "Please add your account in MIUI's settings" and I cannot do that since It's bricked....

Unfortunately, I guess you need to visit the service centre to get it unbricked with locked bootloader.
