Can not unlock the bootlader. Can you help me please ?

Hi guys i bought a Mi 5s in past week and i was trying to unlock the bootlader. But whenever i try to unlock the bootlader it can only come to 99% and i get an error which is below. Also i do not have mi unlock status in develoepr options on global stable rom 8.0.3.0(MAGMIDI)

maybe i can get mi unlock status option if i install global beta 7.5.25
i am not sure if i can still install global stable 8.2.1.0(MAGMIDL) which has mi unlock status and which is not available on en.miui.com
then i will try with china developer rom
if still cant unlock the bootlader i will be have to wait for next miui update for mi 5s to developers add mi unlock status

I had that too, you will probably find 2 mi account numbers on your phone at least that's what i had.
Im not sure if one account is setup from whoever you buy the phone from so they can change the rom.
Mine unlocked after i used the other mi account number linked to my email address.

After i insalled global beta 7.5.25 "Mi Unlock Status" came out. But this time Mi Unlock Tool says that i have to wait 72 hours I tried some older versions of MUT but they need to be upgraded.

You hsould also try dev rom, not stable one

I have same problem.. cant unlock bootloader in global stable.. trying flash another rom from fastboot and from updater and not success anyone
So sad

Ask Xiaomi to give unlock permission. The use deep flash cable to flash developer rom. In developer options add Mi account and enable unlock. Use Xiaomi tool to unlock bootloader.
There are plenty of guides on the internet.

What does it mean to wait 72 hours? I discovered that i can't apply for unlocking permissions anymore, why?

Yes you can apply for unlocking permissions, i did'it last week and in 6 hours they give me permission. All you have to do is to log with you account on they'r site, apply and wait.

there is no box for applying for permissions, that is the case

Try here: http://www.miui.com/unlock/index_en.html , you have to Be logged with miui account to apply, there is a button: unlock now

Anyway to Enter EDL on Locked Bootloader?

So I was wondering about any method to enter EDL mode to flash china beta cause am having issues with binding account for unlocking bootloader.Earlier Xiaomi did remove ways to enter in Redmi Note 4 but Deep Flash Cable & Test Point Method were working also my own way (https://youtu.be/oSJteaRytmg)
I opened my Note 5 pro to find test point but seems Xiaomi blocked that too and my method is not working too.
So If anyone knows any other way plz help.Thnks

It's under fingerprint scanner covered with black tape. You can easily remove tape. Tape is same colour of PCB that's why you didn't see it. I also got confused because of that

redmi note 5 unsolving bootloop ?

hello
i buy unlocked redmi note 5 from aliexpress.
its mec7s model but, miui was 9.5.6.0. mee7s.
same day i ota upgrade to 9.5.13.0. and work fine.
Then i try instal miui 10 global beta fastboot rom with XiaomiFlash, and after instalation is complete, phone is stuck in bootloop.
i made mistake and select clean all and lock.
then i with xiaomiadb put again global stable 9.5.13.0 and
after mesage "encrypting don't reboot your phone" phone goes to bootloop and reset to mi-recovery 3,0.
any idea how to solve this bootloop ?
thank you

If the bootloader was locked again. Unlock with miflash unlock tool and flash fastboot miui 10 with Clean All only

its not possible because i recived unlocked phone from seller and
my phone is not bounded to my mi account.
im login to mi accound and i didnt bound phone to my mi account.
is there any other way to unlock phone again?

Try to borrow his account to unlock your device. Or ask for official unlock permission from xiaomi. If you have an account that has already unlocked a device then you can use that. Or you can try to flash via testpoint. Or you may try to flash the CHINA Recovery ROM with mi assistant. Follow my tut:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-5-pro/how-to/tut-flashing-official-recovery-rom-t3798165

I try all 3 rom in your tutorial.
China and india can not be instaled because rom package verification and with global is ok, but same problem with bootloop after is instaled.

i can only flash to 9.5.6.0 and again to 9.5.13.0 with MiPhoneAssistantBeta3.0. nothing else work.

Have you tried wiping data on mi recovery? Have you tried flashing fastboot rom again with Mi Flash Tool? Can you install any custom recovery via fastboot?

wiping data - no results
flashing fastboot rom and install custom recover is not possible because phone is locked

Question Do you need to unlock the bootloader in order to upgrade from Global Miui -> EEA Miui ?

So I downloaded this "Incremental Update" file for the latest EEA Miui version (12.5.6) and I was wondering if it is possible to update to it from my global 12.5.4 version without losing any data?

No you can not!
Because the global and the eea are two different rom.
If you want miui 12.5.6_EEA you have to:
1)Unlock the bootloader;
2)Flash fastboot full version 12.5.6 with miflash.

Wrong its possible without unlocking bootloader, I did it yesterday.
On my X3 Pro from EEA to Global. I made it with XiaomiToolV2 but use the Local Zip File option that works.

I dont think so. It works fine for me but I still did a factory reset after the update (just to be sure), no problems so far. Im using the phone since yesterday. I even got OTA update from 12.5.4.0 to 12.5.5.0 and it was successful

You can actually. I've switched from Global rom to India rom without unlocking bootloader with no problems before. I've even locked it by an accident when i was coming back from Xiaomi.eu rom (not EEA) and it worked perfectly fine. Then I've unlocked again and went back to custom roms. Just don't flash China rom. My phone is Global variant if it helps.

yes, it is possible, (I haven't personally tested that software) but using the full package and not the incremental upgrade.
However, it is not recommended to do any modding operation with a locked bootloader, because if any problem occurs in the process it is more complicated to solve it.
Let's say it is much safer to do these operations with an unlocked bootloader.

Yes it's very dangerous with a locked bootloader. Be careful. You risk bricking your phone and not being able to flash again.

Fastboot roms can be flashed from the Mi flash apps
Recovery roms are flashed from device settings page, but if it's a beta rom you will need a mi account that is in the china beta program
There's a magisk module that will allow you to skip that account check, you need to be rooted

Can you give me a link to download the magisk module? I will install the stock chinarom and upgrade from there. Thanks
