[HOW-TO] How to unlock your Redmi 5 Plus

What is this How-to for:
In our Telegram-group, I've seen quite some questions on what to do to unlock a Redmi 5 Plus.
There are a few different states a phone can be in when you receive it, such as 'Fake' roms, China stable, China DEV and so on. Below we'll try and make sense of it al and explain what is the best way of getting about unlocking your phone.
Update: With the release of the global Development rom, some people have successfully unlocked their device without having to perform the testpoint method. The rom can be found here:
http://bigota.d.miui.com/8.3.15/miui_HM5PlusGlobal_8.3.15_e69c117bf5_7.1.zip
After installing global development, please start unlocking by beginning at step 1 below, but skipping step 2!
Step 1: (needed for everyone who wants to unlock their phone, regardless):
1: Goto: http://en.miui.com/unlock/ and follow the steps there to apply for unlocking:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This requires creating a MIUI forum account and entering a mobile number on which you will receive your approval. This number does NOT need to be the number you are going to use on your Redmi 5 Plus. As long as you create a MI account and hang on to that, you're good.
Getting the approval might take a while. The best way to check if your approval has been passed is to regularly revisit http://en.miui.com/unlock/ (while logged in with your forum account) until the page changes on opening to one that allows you to download the unlock client app:
This is it for this part for now.
Step 2: Knowing what ROM you are on and taking the steps to get to the right one if needed:
Basically, the following 'states' are possible:
China Stable Rom
Official Global Stable
'Fake' Global, locked bootloader
'Fake' Global, Unlocked bootloader; If you are part of these happy few, go directly to step 4.
For the first 3 options you will need to flash to the China dev rom: Which can be found here: http://bigota.d.miui.com/8.2.1/vince_images_8.2.1_20180201.0000.00_7.1_cn_bd9ee1a88a.tgz
This needs to be done via the so called 'Test point method', and it is the only way to do it (as of now).
Information on how to do this you can find it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVG3Ip6UPGE.
After this, you are ready for the next step.
Step 3: Binding account and unlocking:
Note: If you have problems binding your account on step 1, use PlexVPN, setting the connection to a China location, or use the attached APK vpn service (in.invpn_2017-08-15.apk).
1: After you’ve applied and received unlock permission from MIUI you can use the account to sign into your Mi-Account on your phone.
First though, we need to establish if you need to do additional steps, so hold on to this for now.
2: Enable “Developer options” on your device by tapping few times on MIUI version.
3: Go to “Developer options” and enable “OEM Unlocking”, then go to “Mi Unlock Status” and tap on “Add account and device”.
4: Download and install the latest version of MiFlashUnlock from this page and install it on your pc (unlocking with MiUnlock 1.x version won’t work).
5. Install MiFlashUnlock, open it and press “Agree” button, sign into your Mi-account.
6: Turn off your phone completely and start it in fastboot mode. Press “Power” and “Volume Down” buttons at the same time until fastboot logo appear on the screen.
Connect your phone to PC in fastboot mode and press “Unlock” button.
7: And now this is where it gets a bit silly. You most likely will be confronted with a wait time between 72 and 360 hours. There is currently no way around this and you have to sit it out.
Once the time has passed, you can unlock your phone and are ready to flash TWRP and be a happy camper.
EDIT: There is a way around the 360 hour wait. Check this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...ageos-15-1-t3780298/post76304194#post76304194
Step 4: Flash TWRP
See this topic on how to do this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/-t3727162.

Yes but probably you got that answer in the Telegram for now

Should the phone used to receive the unlock SMS be the same as the one on the device being unlocked?
I have tried my phone number but I didn't receive an SMS, so I had to use a U.S number and successfully got it.

AFAIK;
No, as long as you apply with the mi account you are going to use bind later.

That's what a forum moderator said when I asked, but unfortunately I couldn't put it to test because my device is still in transit.

In that case, you already have permissions to unlock.

Damn, is the test point method really the only way to unlock the bootloader? I want to install Lineage but I'm not willing to open up my brand new phone and start bridging circuits..

How many devices can I unlock with one account?
And what if I sold my device?

Damn!
is this the only way to unlock the bootloader!
i just wanna root my device!

Will report back in 370 hours when I'm finally allowed to try unlocking it.

i know test point flashing chinese dev rom and later adding account with VPN will work....but its my girlfriends phone. she will freak out if i tear it apart.
has anyone found any other soulution for this problem ?

370 hrs...
We must really waiting for ?

Yeah no way around it, the annoying part is that I already had a Xiaomi account that I used for unlocking other phones but apparently now you can't log in with a phone number anymore so the account is lost. See y'all in 2 weeks.

And china stable doesn't allow to unlock, neither?
I thought the problem was only in global roms...

Redmi Note 5A Prime Bootloader Unlocking

I have just got a Redmi Note 5A Prime and want to unlock the bootloader. I've applied for and received unlock permission from Xiaomi but when I run the unlock tool it tells me that my account is not bound to the phone. It tells me I need to add the account in the Mi Unlock Status section of the dev settings but according to this, the phone is not locked and there is no option to add a device so there is no way for me to bind the device and account.

The bootloader is definitely locked as confirmed by fastboot oem device-info.
I have read multiple threads on the MIUI forums about unlocking the bootloader but the information is very conflicting with much of it contradicting other info and none of it seeming to help me. Some says you can only unlock the bootloader when a certain ROM is installed, others say they have unlocked the bootloader using different ROMs - I've got MIUI Global 9.2 Stable 9.2.1.0.0. Some says you have to wait for days between receiving the permission and the unlock process working, others saying it worked for them immediately. Some say after months they still can't unlock.
If I log into my Mi account it shows that my phone is registered, if I use the 'find my device' option it correctly locates it so it 'seems' that the phone is correctly linked to my account and so I'm struggling to figure out how I get past this issue and unlock the bootloader.
Is there anybody out there who has successfully unlocked their bootloader who can provide any insight?

I have the same problem, and now the xiaomi software says me to wait 360 hours, wich is stupid....
Nah guess that we will die without unlock this ****

For unlocking you need to bound your device to your account in the developer settings (it is not an standard option so it needs to be activated in the about device section, Google it). If still you can't then you go to mi account and logoff and login again. That worked for me. Now I'm in the 360 hrs period wait though.

The problem was caused by having a fake ROM installed. I had to flash the stable Chinese ROM using the testpoints method and then I was able to bind the account etc. The phone has now been unlocked and flashed with the official global ROM for a few weeks and is receiving OTA updates etc so all good in the end.

How can the phone come with fake rom preinstalled. I have heard lot about xiaomi phones coming with fake rom installed . How can a company ship phones with fake rom. I have redmi 5A phone and the phone is not getting unlocked the error on phone is 86012 error and on pc mi flash unlock tool the error is current account cannot unlock the device.

It didn't come from Xiaomi directly. The phones are primarily made for the Chinese market so ship with a Chinese ROM by default from Xiaomi. The resellers who then want to sell to a global market put the fake ROMs on to the phones due to the way Xiaomi controls the bootloader unlock process. Personally, now I know the situation and how to rectify it I would happily buy another Xiaomi phone even if it had a fake ROM.

I had to wait 360h too. Unlocking was easy. I now run a custom rom on it.

How To Guide A guide to unlock the bootloader

Edit: No guarantee that this will work!​
Disclaimer: Your warranty may be void after this procedure. I will not be responsible for any mishap that may happen after unlocking.
Backup you data! Device resets after unlocking!
Step 0: Enable developer options.
It is visible under Settings -> Additional settings after tapping 7 times on the build number.
Step 1: Install the apk linked below.
https://download.c.realme.com/flash/Unlock_tool/DeepTesting_X50pro_Q.apk
Step 2: Update this app by installing this -
https://forum.xda-developers.com/at...327195/?hash=232650ae3997a68a5743c72cdf121c9b
Step 3: Open the app and apply for deep-testing.
It takes sometime to get it reviewed and approved. My request took about a day to get enrolled in this deeptesting progam.
Step 4: Get the latest Android platform-tools and Google usb_driver for Windows. Extract wherever is comfortable for you.
Step 5: Reboot into the bootloader.
Connect the phone to your PC with the provided cable.
Enter the following in a cmd terminal where the extracted platform-tools are. Shift+Right click in that folder for getting the option to open a PowerShell terminal.
Note the prefix.
.\adb reboot bootloader
Step 5: Install the driver.
Open the device manager and right-click on the "Android" device. Choose "Update driver" option.
Select the manual installation option. Now, select the option at the top called "All devices".
Click the "Have Disk" button and then choose the .inf file in the usb_driver folder.
Choose "Android Bootloader Interface" option.
It will show "Operation completed successfully" message.
Step 6: Unlock time.
.\fastboot flashing unlock
Your device will show a warning.
Now is the time to rethink.
Vol up to proceed.
Now, the device will reset. Disconnect the cable and let it boot.

It should work. Hardware is almost same.
This may work with all Realme models launched with 11
The only difference I found is that the radio (modem) has extra CDMA bands, irrelevant for unlocking.

I also downgrade, and the version was probably the same for India. I had to send it to service, wait 2 weeks. They changed motherboard ( I don't know why ) and returned with BETTER FASTER SMOOTHER UI 2.0.
After I messed with ADB and face a boot-loop, to solve the problem I had to update again to laggier and awkward UI 3.0. So now I have to revert to UI 2.0 and don't know how.
I assume a Global rollback package can solve your problem also.

1st things first, you need to unlock your bootloader before you can root anything. Doing this will delete everything and factory reset device. Don't think, not being rooted, there's anyway to effectively backup app data and device settings.
i'll have a look in a bit, but have search in this forum for how to root miui or root stock rom

ok, so like i mentioned before, you have to unlock your bootloader. My Pad 5 is already unlocked and has been for a long time, i don't currently have any other devices running miui, so i'm only suggesting what to from memory. Please read up before doing anything drastic!!
1. Sign in to your Xiaomi account on the phone if you aren't already.
2. Enable OEM unlock in settings, tap on build MIUI version 7 times to enable developer options. Go to developer options in settings and enable USB debugging and OEM unlocking.
3. Go here and download + install mi unlock tool. Follow instructions on that page for further info.
While you wait for the bootloader to be unlocked (which WILL ERASE the device when you do) - takes up to 7 days for unlock to be granted by Xiaomi - have a read of the root guide thread you have posted your other post in. Read that guide thoroughly and follow it to the letter. Also, here's a Youtube video that i searched for you.
I know it's hard in the begining not to ask a ton of questions but do read AS MUCH AS AS POSSIBLE and use the search function before posting questions...
Good luck

Also if I root my device, is there a way to unroot my device and make it like normal?

xiaomi devices have code names that the general public aren't usually aware of. Pad 5 is called Nabu. Poco F3 is Alioth etc etc.
Yes. you root it by flashing a magisk patched boot img, then unroot by flashing an unrooted boot img (and uninstall root apps/modules etc

But when I restarted my tablet , My account was logged in to MUI Account. Is there any problem or should I check after 7 days

Nope.

With a Stock ROM you will need to root the phone and use Magisk modules for the device to be certified.

what purpose does it serve?

If the play store is not certified, no Netflix, etc. and the banking apps do not work.
This is due to the unlocked bootloader on a stock rom.

ok I am now on MIUI EEA.
Flash ok..
Very thanks!

I installed EEA. Have hard time to sign in to google in the beginning...but I found way around...
(disable network/pass initial set up/log in again)

Hi there, i've just got my CN rom 13 ultra but can't proceed with unlock and flash because of certain issues.
1) I can't use the latest Miunlock version because it gets detected as a virus by McAfee. The version i'm currently on is 6.5.224.28, is that sufficient for 13 ultra?
2) On Miflash i'm told to install certain things, how do i find them for download? I could click on continue but i don't know if it'd work properly nor would i like to risk bricking my new phone due to some unforeseen errors.

Thanks in advance

Also, has anybody tested out the camera system? Mine seems to use the same lens for 1x 3.2x and 5x zoom, no idea if it's a CN rom thing....
EDIT: unchecking "auto adjust lens" fixed that

Correct the path.
For the error create an empty TXT file of the same name.

Thanks, i opened the newest MiFlash without issue. I have a mi account tied to my current xiaomi phone, should i continue to register a new account, which will remove the previous one? Will that render my current phone unusable?

Why use the other account (explanations)?

I'm not sure, but i probably used the same email to either attempt to flash another phone or for my current phone, i can't remember which, as i am using now to log into MiUnlock.
what would happen if i proceed, will i lose ability to use any of my current phones?

The answer is indicated in the screenshot.

Not exactly, it says i won't be able to access the account, not unable to use the phone itself. Now i can't remember if a xiaomi account needs to exist and be tied with a phone for it to be fully usable
