What's your experience unlocking the bootloader? - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers

Hello, I want to buy a Redmi Note 5 pro, so I talk with the seller at Aliexpress and he told me that the global versión has a lock bootloader but the china version with global rom don't (I readed the same thing here xd) so my problem is, i want to put custom roma in the phone, but also want the B4 band for 4G, thats the one my carrier uses here in Paraguay. So, it's easy to unlock the bootloader in the global versión? Or it is possible to add the B4 band in the china version? I readed a post that show how to add bands, but no one said something about the B4. Thanks in advance!:fingers-crossed:

Buy the Global version and wait the 720 hours required to unlock the bootloader. The China version will only cause you trouble and problems.

Download the stock global firmware, go to system update and click menu in the top right and select package it should work from there I've just done it on my mix from global to beta and on my max from beta to global, mix has locked bootloader but max is unlocked it will only flash if the package is right

Yep
For 86006 error
Please be patient, the error is reported to devs and they are working on it.
The error is caused as of errors with sync with china servers.
If you try to fix this on your own you can not.
If you have Made in India mark on your phone, it signifies you have this error.

No. If you bought from Flipkart or Mi and you got non made in India model (which can be verified by seeing the rear of box) then it means you won't face any 86006 error. However it is standard for you to go through 360 hours of time to unlock bootloader.

Why going through 360 hours for unlocking bootloader ?

Due to vendor abuse (vendors use to unlock and install software crap) they added 360 hours waiting policy. It can't be skipped I searched for the same multiple times.

Any bootloader unlock method?

Is there any method to unlock bootloader? I don't care if It involves opening the phone
As far as I've been able to learn, not a chance.
Nope, there is no way, one more reason for saying goodbye Huawei

Unless you already have a bootloader unlock code from at least a year ago and have it running 9.1 beta or lower, it's not possible. Huawei changed the file system to read only (EROFS) which prohibits any writing in order for the bootloader codes to work anymore with the official 9.1 update and they've successfully stopped everyone from getting new bootloader unlock codes.

Google, Oneplus, Samsung (except US), Sony, Xiaomi, Motorola, F(x)tec. Pretty much everyone still making good Android phones *except* Huawei.
Hello everyone, I have an EVR-L29 that was updated to EMUI 11, I downgraded it to EMUI 9.1 and paid U$ 15,00 to unlock the bootloader (ministryofsolution.com), which works perfectly. Paid through PayPal (it charged me U$ 2,24). So a total of U$ 17,24. I contact him on Telegram. He used TeamViewer to perform the unlock. Took less than 30 min.

Thank you Ill try It
just received my mate 20 x ... kind of new with Huawei phones : if I unlock the bootloader will it stay unlocked if I install updates ? will the updates be installed OTA or will I have to use a tool ?? (maybe it s better to use a tool and install the ROM I want so I can get root with my magisk by patching the boot.img ?)

Question Root black shark 4 pro global or unlock the bootloader?

I would like to root it with magisk boot img patch method but in order to do that I have to unlock the bootloader but I can't do that because the phone does not have an unlock status in developer mode which is needed to unlock the bootloader.
If there's someone here who has managed to root the phone or even just unlocked the bootloader, I would appreciate it if you could guide us to how its done.
Nevermind. I got mine done
How?

Will there ever be custom Rom Support for this phone because it seems almost like a waste to have a top notch chipset and only get 2,3 or 4 years of software support i mean check the specs its really decent to carry with you for years to come.
i found someone who can help anyone who wants to unlock their phone, root it and install a global rom that accepts ota updates. Pm me or hit me up on telegram https://t.me/TheBabyShaker420
