Proper unlock request message reason

I've read that Xiaomi my reject your request for unlock of device. I've applied for the unlock two days ago but I really don't know where to check its status? And basically there shouldn't be any specific reason why one would want to unlock bootloader unless they're trying to install third party ROM? If one writes the reason as being I would like to install Xiaomi.eu ROM on my device that Xiaomi would strait off reject it or not? Because mainly that's what I would like to do until Xiaomi releases sources (if they do) at which point many will move to other ROMs (CM etc.). So.
Questions:
What kind of good reason may someone have to unloack bootloader so that unlock will be accepted without issues?
Where can one check unlock request status?
If one unlocks bootloader and then flashes official ROM (which will likely lock it again), can one unlock it without additional unlock requests to Xiaomi?

1. I said I bought from Gearbest and had a shop rom installed and want to install original rom (which was true, but nobody can confirm this obviously)
2. I do not think you can check it
3. Flashing official ROM will not lock your bootloader again
I would suggest you wait a little more and if you still do not get a reply, open a new request or post in the forums.
btw, the request completion will be sent via an SMS message, nothing else.

1. Android Developer.
It worked like a charm, received the unlock code half an out later.

Unless you are flashing a fastboot rom with miflash and select the flash and lock radio button.

I wrote flash global rom. got the approval few hours later
Sent from my MI 5s Plus using Tapatalk

I said "I want to install the xiaomi.eu rom for localization."
3 hours later they approved the request.

Thanks guys. I got permission to unlock after about 4 days. I suppose they had a bit more work after Black Friday so it took them a bit longer than usual.
But of all the reasons you're mentioned I think the best one is I'm an Android application developer. Others related to fake ROM etc. are not as viable as I'm pretty confident they know exactly which ROM you're using on which device the moment you sign in with you Mi account.

Bootloader Unlocking
If any problem, If i unlock the bootloader ???
In my redmi 4 ???
Plz tell me ...

Something Emotional and Real
I got permission in 4min by giving a emotional reason like my brother flashed wrong Nougat firmware on my Redmi Note 3 and my device got bricked I need to unlock bootloader to fix it.
And got permission.
Hurray

Accidentally locked bootloader

Alright guys, I was trying to fix my fingerprint (which I ended up doing) by flashing the global dev ROM 7.8.31 via fastboot with the miflash tool but I accidentally locked the bootloader while doing so. My phone came with the bootloader unlocked and now I can no longer unlock the bootloader. in developper options, the OEM unlocking option is enabled but no matter what I do in fastboot, the process simply does not work. I get the remote token verification has failed message. I have tried every freakin guide out there but my phone now refuses to get unlocked. I can't flash anything with miflash tool anymore, it just says failed, even when trying to flash the global dev 7.8.31 ROM. Anyone can help me here? Xiaomi says my device is unsupported for unlocking yet it was unlocked from the start........

What i did was the official unlock guide from xiaomi where you will get the code from them. Sadly you have to wait for 3days to be able to unlock them again.

Well check this thread...
en.miui.com/thread-781303-1-1.html
You can reapply if you got rejected

Well I did that but it kept on saying I had too many IP requests of sorts but I used TunnelBear and set my location to Hong Kong and that allowed me to bypass that and the request was passed through. Surprisingly, I got a message 4 hours later that said I was able to unlock it instead of the 2-7 days it took for most people to get theirs

Same happened to me. I re-lock bootloader to install android pay, and bricked my phone.
Have to reboot in EDL mode (after >50 tries) and flash again.
But... Flashed a locked bootloader version, so i have to request for official unlock (phone came unlocked)
Now I have unlocked bootloader, with Magisk and Safety Net module with Android Pay working fine.
PS: i also had the IP problem. Used a Chinese proxy to override restriction.

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.

Change from Chinese rom to global rom.

Hi there I have the chance to get two of these good smartphones in China for a good price. The problem is that they have the Chinese rom on it and my parents need the italian language. Will it be possible to flash the global rom or just add the italian language?
Thanks.

Based on my experience b4 unlocking 5A, the only way you can switch from China to Global is to flash it via test point. Unless you've unlocked the phone, you could flash it via fastboot. Is your 5A unlocked yet?

Yep, that's all you need to do. After an unlock, you do have the option to relock your bootloader (which maybe you're already familiar with). The guide is on the miui forums. Good luck!

[CLOSED]Force Unlocking Bootloader on Nokia 6.1

Download official Nokia USB Drivers (ADB, Fastboot & others)
HMD Global is making Nokia branded phones for a few years now. However, there is still no official webpage at Nokia.com from where you can download device drivers. On most Nokia phones, the Nokia USB drivers come bundled. A CD ROM will show on the computer when you connect the phone. The Nokia...

So they only give away a few free unlocks per day. If I remember correctly they're based East Coast US time, so I made sure I was online around midnight EST, and got a free unlock. I had to try quite a few times, and it didn't work until a while AFTER midnight, (maybe around 10 to 15 mins after).

Hi,
I too own a Nokia 6.1 (TA-1089) model and have successfully rooted it.
Here are the steps I followed:
Download and install "adb and fastboot" tool on your system
Follow this Boot loader unlock guide by Techmesto and ensure your boot loader gets unlocked properly.
Many guides recommend using TWRP, but I say use "Magisk" (basis my personal experience)
Download the latest version of Magisk from this another guide by Techmesto and follow the steps listed under "Root method #1."
Few Special Pointers:
If in case you're unable to find any relevant "Magisk patched boot images" for your device, you can opt for "Root method #2" listed in the above guide.
I would highly recommend that you "DO NOT USE" TWRP V.3.3.1 as suggested in the guide. I used that version and bricked my device. So, Google for "twrp-3.4.0-0-PL2_sprout-11.0-20200909.img" file and use it as that worked for me.
Ensure that you're BOOTING into TWRP using the command:
Code:
fastboot boot <twrp.img>
as flashing the TWRP got me stuck on its splash screen for eternity.
The first time you boot into TWRP, it might ask you for a password to decrypt data. Use your phone password" (Example - 0000 in my case) and the decryption will start automatically.
Feel free to reach out in case any pointer confuses you OR you're stuck anywhere.
Cheers,
Manu
