Locked bootloader mi4c nougat

I flashed xiaomi.eu_multi_MI4c_7.2.9_v8-7.0.zip and has bootloader locked and i tried to unlocked but IT said that IT is a diferent account on my device and is stop at 50% , please If someone knows what to do . My account have permissions

flash Official ROM before you try
Xiaomi.eu rom is not an official one.

It doesn't matter. On xiaomi.eu is possible to unlock bootloader.

I tried every metod i can not flash 6.1.7 ,i can not unlock it , when i try to go in recovery is just restart , i can not go in edl mod the same is restarting , i want just to update every time when a update is up

I have the same problem with you.I have no choice and I just flashed the elder MIUI with MiFlash by 9008 mode.

Can't unlock mine too,
just did this guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-4c/general/guide-unlocking-mi4c-bl-verification-t3336779

ON ANDROID 7 YOU CANNOT UNLOCK BOOTLOADER AS IN THAT GUIDE, IT'S WRITTEN in THREAD, JUST READ IT.
however you have to unlock it in official way. after receive sms wait, wait and wait. I waited 1 month, ONE MONTH, to unlock it. I've unlocked it first with unofficial but ANDROID 7 of xiaomi.eu lock it again, again and again.

I saw directly difference between Resurrection Remix N, multitask, .... This is flagrant.

I downloaded all possible official ROMs, tried unsuccessfully to upgrade to each of them (even the very last dev) and I'm stuck with 8.5.1.0 from xiaomi.eu. This ROM sux alot of power. I wanna jump to another ROM but can't as the upgrade killed my root and TWRP and locked the bootloader. I'm opened to suggestions to avoid asking that SMS unlocker (even if it implies to slide thru 3 ROMs).

7 day wait for oem

why for S9 and s9+ there's a 7 day Wait period for OEM unlock?

Lol... ask samsung.
But this is nothing new, started last fall with the note 8 so i dont know why so many S9 users are surprised really.
sent from my Exynos S9 plus, Pixel 2 XL or Note FE

It gives enterprises 7 days to locate/wipe lost/stolen phones.
When you see RMM state: Prenormal in download mode you are within this period. (RMM = Remote Management & Monitoring).

RMM not unlocking...
Hi Gang!
I've got an international S9+ (SM-G965F/DS) and I've got a working SIM in it. But, after the 168 hrs of uptime, it's still showing as PRENORMAL. I've got developer mode enabled because I want to root this device. But, I can't get to the OEM Unlock until this thing switches to normal mode. Any clues as to why it's not going to Normal mode?
TIA

Do you have a pending ota update? If so you need to take it to get out. It won't reset your 7d wait the whole "up time" thing is complete nonsense anyway ?

My phone is in prenormal state. I have stock firmware and tried to install twrp but decided to just stay stock. Now i cant use google pay..will it work after 7 days?

Hmm... OK, I'll apply the OTA update and see what happens.
TNX,
Mike

So this OEM unlock wait time thing applies to the US SD model as well?

no sir, yours will never show up. Besides with a locked bootloader there is nothing you can do with it anyway.

Even if it became available Im still trying to figure out the purpose of even flipping the switch on locked down snap models?
You cant flash anything so I dont see the purpose here and yet everyone keeps asking?

I waited the 7 days and got oem unlock back..it is unlocked atm my status is official but i still cant download Netflix or use google pay? says my syetm is modified..Knox hasnt even been tripped.

I used miflash_unlock-en-4.5.813.51 from http://www.miui.com/unlock/
You need to wait 168h after the first unlock try as I show here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=83529229&postcount=43
I used google lens on your screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/2AWWd3d.png

Lmao im so impatient
How unlucky, thought i could do it already :C

I got my phone and tried unlocking today. I was told that the waiting time is two times the 168 hours (336 hours or two weeks) which seems to be the norm. Any ideas why?

Weird. Why mine only 7 days ?

How did you find out that you need to wait 7 days ? Where did you read it ? I am asking because everything what show me that software for Windows is only Chinese characters . I use the latest software from the official site and I can confirm that is the same like in the link on second post .
If I receive the Chinese characters it's ok ? Do I need to wait ? Or is something wrong and I need to do something?

I think I've gotten this error message before. It has something to do with your account not being connected for unlocking properly. Make sure :
1. You have find my device on
2. When requesting BL unlock ( from dev options) that your inserted sim card is the same as the one listed in your Mi account
3. Your PC connection is stable
You can also try to translate the Chinese (if you can copy it) :silly:
Hope I helped somehow

168 (7 days) is normal wait tim e for unlocking poco x3

After hours and hours of checking and trying different things like cables pc's and different sims cards , i managed to resolve the problem.
i had to log in on the xiaomi mi account and deleted my account and make again the same account so i can unlock my phone
this is if somone have the same problem like me , try another xiami account or delete your account (do backup) and then make it again
solved ,
Now do i need to wait 168 hours, 7 days , if i press again after 4 days ? they will reset the counter ? if i reset the phone ?
or is binded on the mi account is nothing to do with the phone itself?
i attached with the error with problem account and after i done the account again with them

Aburel18 said:
everything what i tried won't work, i tried another pc another cable another sim , i can't past this scree, i can't even translate it with google camera .
i am out of options here , is first time when i have a MI phone but for me this seems to be too hard to unlock the bootloader ,i use to unlock bootloaders
on my oneplus samsung lg and nexus and pixel .

Congrats on solving the problem. When i bought my phone, I reset it a couple of times because of software issues and the counter didn't reset. Only thing to watch out for is that you don't take out the sim you used to activate your Mi account with for more than a couple hours.

Download Google translate and press camera and point it to that Chinese writing and you will find out what is the problem . In my case how you can see the print screen the translate saying that find my phone it was activated and I cannot unlock the bootloader with this account. So I deleted the account and I sign up again . Same email same phone number . What I noticed when I log in on the mi unlock software for Windows I saw on the top right the account number has changed . I got different numbers (example 573638942)
After I done done the sign up again I was able to proceed to another step .
This happened to me because the account it was 6 years old and never use it . ( I think)

How to get missing developer option for OEM Unlock (unlock bootloader)?

I have an old Samsung J3 Eclipse (SM-J327V) that has no OEM Unlock in Developer Options. The phone is approximately 5 years old. I would like to unlock the bootloader on it. I'v tried the suggestions listed on the forum, but they are for new phones to bypass the 7 day waiting period and enable the OEM unlock. I tried them anyway, and they don't work on my J3.
Seems to me that I read that Samsung started hiding the OEM Unlock with Android version 8.0
I was thinking of loading some old version of the official firmware that was Android 7.0 or earlier (if I can find it). Then, hopefully there would be an OEM Unlock that would enable me to unlock the boot loader. Once unlocked, I could flash back to Android 8.1 (newest version for this old device). Would that work? Can you use Odin to downgrade the version of Android?
Comments welcome from all. Thanks!

I've tried following every youtube video and posting on the internet for how to get the hidden OEM unlock back into developer options. None of them work. I swear I have done the process of date resetting dozens of times and it still doesn't work.
Can anybody help? Please! I'd really like to unlock the bootloader. Is there any other way to do this?
