Hi, i have mine Mi9SE a couple months but i want to unlock BL and install custom ROM.
I used MiFlash unlock tool, (have Mi account conneted to phone about 2 monts) and it says that i need to wait for 168h.
I searched internet for solution to bypass it, and found this guy on youtube which says that i can do this by his method

Thanks in advance for help

Just wait man. Most of these methods dont work because this is a mi server wait time. Just like how most online games have very few cheats compared to offline ones

Ok, i'll wait.
i have another Question, about unlocking, do i really have to be online all this time to unlock device? i have small internet package, and being online all the time is really not convinient for me.

No u dont have to be online. You just have to try the process again after 168hrs thats when the xiaomi server will allow you to unlock the phone. 168 hrs is 7 days so you should try again after a week.

Yes, AAHK is retired. You can try to SIM unlock manually, but it's only recommended for advanced users. Manual instructions are on the AAHK website.

Unlocking the bootloader isn't going to SIM unlock the phone. Those are two different things. I mean this: http://tau.shadowchild.nl/attn1/?p=411.

yes thats the guide i was trying to follow but the first step was to get htcdev unlock then get root.
and thats where i got stuck, i have no idea on how to get root on 2.3.5
Ah, I see. Sorry, I'm not going to walk you through that entire procedure. I've never done it before. Bootloader unlock, recovery flash, and root flash are covered here on the forums if you search. If you can't figure that out I don't recommend that you try to continue; that procedure is for advanced users.

Hi guys! I've been trying for a while to find a post where I can find exactly what I want but I can't, so I don't know if it's possible. The thing is, I've an M8 with "Vodafone" in Spain (Android 4.4.4). Yesterday I unlocked it by code and know I want to flash an original stock firmware (GOD, it was a way easier with my old Xperia Z2) so that I can get Lollipop and erase all Vodafone's rubbish forever. However, I don't know if this is possible. I've seen that my cid must be HTC_00*** but I hace "VODAP304". Then I've seen I need firewater but it's no longer working (to s-off the device). So, I'm a bit lost and I don't even know if I can flash a stock firmware over a Vodafone firmware. Any ideas?
You can use sunshine to S-OFF
http://theroot.ninja/
Thanks for replying!! I heard that one could have some bugs, but if you recommend it I will use it. And then, can I flash any firmware?? No matter what?
Yep, pretty much. Before you pay for Sunshine it goes through some checks to make sure it's compatible so give it a go
I need to pay ???
Yep, $25
Woah, I think I'll leave it like that. I think that what I want to do is not worth 25 dollars

It really is
Without S-OFF, you can't remove all the carrier rubbish and get OTA updates directly from HTC
I knowwww X), that's why I wanted, but I just spent 15 dollars to unlock it. 25 more dollars is just too much XD. Is there any other option?

Hope so, at least he got something in return then. I have seen people pay that much just get their bootloader unlocked
Than it would have been a good option to s-off for 25 and do the SIM unlock yourself and get the freedom of s-off with it
If I had known I could do that in advance, I would have never paid for unlocking it. Oh God, I feel stupid now xD

Yeah. To be honest I'm not an expert, but I usually do this kind of things by myself. However, for the last let's say 2-3 years I've seen that's almost impossible unlocking a phone without paying. I made a little research and found it was more or less the same with the HTC One M8 (and I also found that there was another program to made it s-off but it wasn't working anymore), but clearly I didn't look everything
Well, I've finally decided to use Sunshine. However, when it tries to make a test to see if my phone is suitable for Sunshine this message appears: "Sunshine could not find the su binary, please root your device, then run Sunshine". Is it necessary to root the device in advance? I thought Sunshine itself did it

What do you think the message means, if it can't find the su binaries you need to root it in advance. If sunshine would root it for you it would have said so. Pretty clear to me
Hahaha lol I know, but I thought there could be some kind of option in advance or something X). Well, I'm going to investigate how to root the device then =)

Sorry to hear that but you must have made a mistake somewhere as everybody get unlocked after 360hours.
Just redo everything from scratch, yeah again 15days but better than nothing hun.
You need one account / one miflash tool.
Check again thread here or miui forum or telegram.
I use method of old miflashtool.
Create account email.
Login in phone not in developing mode.
Go in developing mode
Enable oem unlock
...
You will manage like the others

hi there
i bought a p8 lite 6 month ago and huawei did not give me the unlock code,
so i searched and find this thread on p8 lite forum and i unlock my bootloader..
2 things..
1 - the phone must be rooted
2 - we must know which memory block the unlock code is placed..
su -c "grep -m1 -aoE 'WVLOCK.{14}[0-9]{16}' /dev/block/mmcblk0p7 |grep -aoE '[0-9]{16}'"
any idea?

Edit: to answer your first post..
To read 'grep' that partition, you need to be rooted.
To be rooted, you need an unlocked bootloader.
This wasn't the case for some earlier versions of android.

Yeah looks like it, can't find a working version without card just yet. I've tried a few ones but this one in link below may work with your device, it's listed in the menu.
Make sure your in maintenance mode by dialing the number shown on screen in program to access menu.

Edit: Having another look I think they might want credits but unsure cos my device not recognised.
I found a working version of miracle box but I don't think you can retrieve the unlock code with that.

Is there another service to send in my HTC 10 since the service by Sunshine doesn't exist?
I am unable to unlock the bootloader, the Sunshine app gives me a failure. I have no OEM bootloader option in the developer tools. I've made several attempts using the various forums so I can root the phone without success. I feel it's time to send it out to someone who can assist me.

It clearly states:

Sorry we only offer this service within Europe because in the past we have had bad experiences with peoples going missing in transit as well as large import duty tax bills here in the uk and your side too because the governments deem them taxable even though they are coming in for repair

I only know of a couple other shops that do it, but they are both also in the UK.
Other option, would be an XTC2 Clip/Power Adapter/Java Card, if they even still work after the HTC 10 has been updated to Oreo(not sure on that part).

I'm a noob in a similar situation, have a completely stock non-branded Nougat and want to root and maybe install Viper or Lineage, but been putting it off cause I had to find a way to back up all the apps. Now I have to figure out a way to root/s-off quick, before my warranty runs out next month :S

If your htc 10 is still on Nougat and ISN'T a Verizon device, then I think you can use Sunshine to S-OFF, don't hold me too it, but I believe you can. :good:
just download the app and try it out, it won't take your $$ of anything if it doesn't work, can't hurt to try.
I believe it is not working for Oreo and Pie htc 10 variants, and Verizon is needed to do by mail I think unless they fixed it for Verizon N as well.
Don't remember. but the website still says they do mail in, but I don't think they still are.
Give it a try and report back.

SunShine was unable to gain root access to your device. You may need to gain "TempRoot" or "PermRoot" through some other means. For HTC Devices, unlocking with HTCDev.com and rooting with a custom recovery may work.

You can 100% unlock the bootloader @ htcdev and flash custom ROMs, you don't need soff for that.
I wouldn't update from N firmware until you try a few things out.
Maybe unlocking bl and rooting then sunshine will work?

Ah, that's good, didn't know that.
I'm gonna wait a few more days for an answer from the devs of the last app on my phone that can't back up via adb and its own backup process is broken. After that I'm gonna do what you said.
Is the guide I linked above ok or is there maybe an XDA guide to doing that? I looked at the Guides subforum here but there's too much stuff and I've never rooted a phone b4 so I'm not sure which thread I'm supposed to be looking at :silly:

No, I've got the EU version (or I suppose I do, I bought it in the EU). I meant that I got it from a retailer, not a cell network company like Verizon, since I see those need some special treatment. Software number is 2.41.401.41
