Hello sir
I have been trying to unlock bootloader of my mi max(qualcomm indian version) for some time. I already got the permission to unlock bootloader.
But i am not able to unlock it because of drivers problem. my device is not getting detected in MI UNLOCK TOOL although it is being detected in MI FLASH TOOL. What should i do please help me .. i am using the latest tools and latest drivers in my pc. Also i tried installing new windows 10 in both my pc and laptop but the same problem persists.
Thanks in advance..
Were you able to unlock bootloader ??
If yes then flash recovery twrp
Then
Root either using magisk 14.3.zip or supersu 2.82.
same problem
I got unlock codes from MI, but still I'm unable to root my phone. This sucks !
Anyone ! Please Help.

Sir, the process given to unlock bootloader on Mi.com or else supporting websites are not working at all.
How can we proceed further if this not happening ?

Wait for 3-4 day after receiving code from xiaomi.
As there servers are updated after 3-4 days. Sometimes may take more than a week..
Unlocking is different and rooting is different. Do not attempt to root without unlocking bootloader.

Hi, after i flashed twrp and entering recovery i swiped allow modification and it asks for decrypt key and then my phone got in to bootloop... i actually couldn't flash supersu Bcoz in not able to see it without decrypt key... How do i fix this issue? Can u pls help?
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)

you didn't select clean all instead of clean all and lock now you have to go to service center or get help from someone who have an authorized service account.

if you can't unlock with mi account (or no mi account at all) then you have to use authorized xiaomi account to fully unlock and reset it.
Try flashing fastboot firmware it should go just fine

One person say, he can do it. But i don't know him. He said, if you open back cover, he can install twrp and rom. İf you want to take risk, i can share telegram's name.

Log out and then try creating a new account, additionally bind with a new phone number.
And how do I use Odin what files do I use . I can't get into devices setting to turn on debugging. But I know how to mount it from the recovery menus
Lastly I want the newest OS for it . Which on is that?
