Download miflash_unlock tool, put phone in fastboot, install driver. Start the tool, login, click unlock, check time, wait, then unlock.

I tried to go through the official route to unlock my Global Version Note 5, but when I log into my Mi account, there is no option for "Apply for unlocking permissions", it's greyed out and so it's straight to the Mi Unlock tool. Have I missed something?
I was trying to find out if it's straight forward to lock the bootloader if I should so choose, but when I search all I'm finding are results for people with Global ROM's not the Global Version.
I'm new to Xiaomi but I've been messing around with modding phones for 5 or 6 years now...

No more apply for unlocking permission and entering reason for unlocking and all.. directly you will get unlock option..
Xiaomi made this changes recently and you confirm the same in official miui forum

My OEM Unlock option doesn't get saved after i exit option developers or restart, i guess i have to wait first? also i installed drivers from mi unlock toons and entered fastboot mode but i can't press unlock on the software i for some reason.

How do I unlock my phone's mi account?

I have a rn8pro and I logged in my mi account. Then I clicked on mi unlock status. But for some reason they want me to use mobile data instead of wifi. Even when doing that, they aren't letting me unlock my account.
Can someone explain in a concise way on how to do this and why these steps are required?

How did you unlock? After you registed in developer option, you need to wait at least 168h before unlock bootloader (with xiaomi unlock tool).

Can I unlock the bootloader without a phone number?

I just got a Redmi Note 8 and I want to unlock the bootloader. After following some guides, it looks like I need a phone number to do this. Now I already have a different phone that has a SIM card and don't want to switch to my Redmi as my main phone. The Redmi will remain at home and connected through WiFi. My questions are:
Is there a workaround to unlocking the bootloader without a phone number?
If not, can I just switch the SIM card from my other phone to the Redmi just to unlock the bootloader? (Then switch the SIM card back to my main phone?)
Thanks all!

That's what I did.
I had to sign into mi account with the redmi and Sim inserted. The sign up required a verification text. Then had to sign in , in the unlock menu inside Dev options. Then sign in from the unlock program on PC, which needs internet access. Then that app wanted to send another verification text to phone . And enter the confirm code. (Pain in the As, because my phone was my only internet access. I needed to go to Publix wifi spot to do this).
After the PC program says wait for 168 hours, and try again. I. Then **** off redmi, put Sim back to my main phone.
By the way. Do remember what you use for your mi account. Because after you do unlock phone, and it needs to do factory reset. When it reboots, phone is stuck on start screen and needs you to sign into mi account to unlock, then do the setup.

Your question is about unlocking the bootloader, no?
Excerpt from the posted link:
"
First, confirm that your device can be unlocked
Your device functions normally and not in a bricked, soft-bricked, bootloop state.
Your PC has necessary Mi USB drivers and platform tools.
You are on the official MIUI ROM and have a Xiaomi account.
You have already inserted a SIM Card into your device and can connect it to the internet using mobile data.

Question Unlock bootloader without mobile network

Hello, i have this issue. I have trouble with my phone. It doesn't recognize any simcard anymore. I installed a new sim-tray no solution. I want to try to downgrade the MIUI system or flash a custom ROM to try if this helps, but the bootlocker is locked. I tried to unlock, have a Xiaomi account but can't unlock it. I have to add phone via devlopper tools-->mi unlockstatus but this only works with mobile data and not with wifi. The phone is listed in my Xiaomi account. Is there an other way to unlock the bootloader ??? Or anyone knows a solution ?

You always need mobile data to unlock bootloader in Mi phones.

hey,
if the phone is listed in your xiaomi account it may just work.
you can always try it, grab that miunlock tool and login with your phone number+pass, boot the phone into the android/mibuny page and see if the tools lets you proceed without doing the devtools part.
