I need help. I can't unlock my bootload,Who has an unofficial method?

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.

Is there a way to actually unlock the bootloader?

Hi,
I bought a mi mix 2 yesterday and I've been trying to unlock it, but it doesn't seem possible.
I already requested permission from Xiaomi, which I was granted this morning, but when I try to connect the phone to the PC suite it tells me I need to update. But then the phone tells me there are no updates available!
I've been searching online and people say the suite is just buggy and that a fix "is coming" but those messages are two years old and apparently there has been no fix???
So, is there a way to actually unlock it?
I unlocked ok after waiting 72 hours.
Hi! So, let me get it straight. You were getting a message that read like this:
"You need to update your device to use Mi PC Suite. Update your device before connecting".
And you were getting it when trying to connect your phone, even after being granted permission to unlock. But then, after waiting for 3 days, it went away and it let you unlock?
There are instructions how to do it on the English MIUI forum. I hope providing a link to MIUI forums is not against the rules.
You will need to apply for permission, and after is granted you will need to wait 72 hours.
If you have the global version of the phone you can skip the connection to China VPN part. I unlocked it without any issues some time ago.
It seems I was doing it wrong: I was trying to use the PC Suite when I should have been using the Unlock tool, which is a different thing.
Apparently the PC Suite doesn't work, but you don't need it to unlock your phone anyway.

I tried more than 5 versions starting from 2.0
I want to unlock my bootloader, but everytime it gives random error while unlocking. Sometimes gets stuck 50% and says Error (-1), sometimes goes till 99% and says Cannot Unlock/Cannot Verify/Unable To Unlock.
And sometimes it straightaway shows device is unlocked, no need to unlock again whereas the device is still locked.
I tried various solutions like using older version, updating MIUI, resetting the device but same results.
Help me please.

Unknown error unlocking bootloader!

Hi folks,
I have waited more than 788 hours to unlock my Note 5 Pro bootloader. When I have connected connected the device in fastboot, mi unlock tool has not recognised my device. I had to reinstall adb drivers and reboot the device multiple times. Now it is recognised and started the process of unlocking the bootloader. The tool is struck at 99% and after few minutes it says "-1 unknown error unlocking the bootloader"
Using the same account, sim and device. Please help.
Thanks
Update:
Unlocked the bootloader successfully. Issue was with the fastboot drivers.

I have unlocked the bootloader successfully. The issue is with the fastboot drivers. Try rebooting in fastboot mode and connect to computer. Under device manager check if your device is recognised as adb interface or bootloader interface. If it's adb interface then you are good to go. Else click update driver and select the 2nd option to update from computer. Again choose the second option to choose from a list and in the list select adb and click next and proceed. Now your device should be recognised as adb interface. Now try unlocking.

Can't . You have to wait the whole time
Just turn off USB Debugging in the developer setting if it is on and restart the device to bootloader and use the latest version of the MI Unlock tool. Hope it may work. It worked with me.

Update bricked Redmi 6 Pro

Hello everybody. Last month I bought Redmi 6 Pro. Then, I wanted to unlock bootloader it to install MIUI10 as it had MIUI8. After procedures, I had to wait for 360 hours to unlock the bootloader. I waited 15 days and then unlocked my phone. After unlocking the bootloader the phone rebooted and while booting I saw Unlocked in the screen. Then I wanted to install official MIUI10 form this link: http://en.miui.com/download-349.html#545. I tried to install using the local update method. However, after an unsuccessful install, my phone shows Mi-Recovery screen with 3 menus:
1. Reboot
2. Wipe Data
3. Connect MiAssisstant
Reboot just reboots to this menu. Wipe data did not help. MiAssisstant didn't recognize this phone as it says it does not support this phone. I tried then flash using MiFlash and it gave an error "Erase boot error", which my research revealed that it is related to bootloader being locked. I used adb in fastboot mode and it shows bootloder being locked. I do not know how this happened as I am 100% sure I unlocked it. Then I tried to unlock again and says I have to wait 30 days.
Is there any faster solution? Why do I have to wait 30 days as I already waited 15 days for unlocking?
My phone is connected to my account.
My MI ID is 1892506370.
Please help me.
Some may suggest EDL but I want my phone's bootloader to unlock, which in turn may solve my problem.
Forgive me if thi post is in the wrong category. I am new.
P.S. I tried all the suggested solution available on the net and none worked.
You have to wait 30 days because you recently unlocked your device, once you unlock a device there has to be a gap of 30 days before unlocking another device (or even same device again)
I had same issue on my redmi 3s prime as i unlocked my bootloader of redmi 6 pro & while flashing miui to redmi 3s prime i accidentally locked bootloader, it showed me 30 days wait, so what i did, i created a new account from scratch & then logged on my redmi 3s prime with that account so i had to wait 72 hours only for binding process & then i unlocked my bootloader
But as your device is dead, i will suggest you either move to care centre they can repair your device through edl method or else wait for 30 days
Mine locked after flashing miuipro. Miflash said I have to wait 30 days because you can unlock 1 device on 1 account once in month. But I used redmi 6 pro toolkit to unlock it. Somehow it bypassed this and unlocked right away.

Aren't you ashamed of putting a trojan in it? SHAME ON YOU!!!!
Are you crazy? What kind of anti-virus are you using? I took this toolkit from xiaomi.eu forum. It worked for me like a charm. I haven't been messing around in it.

Try this one.
So you're crazy. What is this? Any toolkit can be consider by anti-virus as a threat. Mine showed nothing. Anyways, do what you want. This toolkit helped me unlock my phone right away. Believe it or not and wait 1 month.
check once again bro.
Even chrome failed to download it and says Virus detected.
I've downloaded it to phone. Maybe someone did something to it lately. Anyways it worked for 2 months ago.
Wonderful !
Though Windows/chrome shows it as malware/virus.
I managed to download it on the phone and transferred it to PC.
It works like charm.
I unlocked my bootloader.
Download it, before it stops working/someone deletes it.
Thanks for providing the link

Hey, friend. Let me ask you a question.
If I unlock the bootloader using the toolkit, and flash India Rom (on chinese phone), can I have problems in future (to install OTA updates etc..) ?
Or is it better to wait 15 days and unlock with the official miflashtool ?
Unlocked bootloader is unlocked bootloader. There's no difference. The toolkit uses miflash unlock anyways. So it's pretty official way. I've used it to unlock second time the same phone in one day. U can't do it officially on one account because you have to wait 30 days. Toolkit bypassed this waiting time period somehow. I don't know what will happen if you're unlocking for the first time. Maybe you will have to wait 15 days like official way. You have to try and let us know. Flashing roms after unlocking is the same.
hello guys,i unlocked my redmi 6 pro but cannot change to global rom,in miflash it says "missmatching device" help me pls
Redmi 6 Pro Toolkit really works to unlock the bootloader for the second time without having to wait 30 days. !!!
Hai..
I have same problem too.. my phone was bricked after miui 10 updated ,then i bring to the store, and they installed china dev rom for my redmi 6 pro, but i wanna bring back my miui global rom.
Now i'd already try with redmi 6 pro toolkit , and i got same message for the ubl.. must wait until 360 days.. any another suggestion..?
this tool unlocked bootloader instantly
This tool unlocked bootloader instantly without wait and unbricked my device. Thank you!
even after using this toolkit and following the instructions im gettin 360 hr wait time...
This tool won't help you skip waiting period if you unlocking your device for the first time. It will help skip 1 month waiting when you want to unlock using same account for the second time. That was in my case.
the archives is either unknown or damage
