Unlock Bootloader procedure question

So, I decided to apply to unlock my bootloader. I started following this guide.
I created a Mi account, but I was not greeted by a form to write the reason I wanted to unlock the bootloader.
A little baffled there, but I decided to proceed (maybe the form was in the app). I proceeded to the unlock page and voila! I had the link to download the Flash Tool. And so I did, I ran the miflash_unlock.exe and filled in my account and password.
Next I plugged in my phone in fastboot mode, as it was needed (I had not enable OEM Unlock in Developer Options nor had I associated my device with my account), and I was greeted with this image:
{
"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"
}
What am I doing wrong? The Unlock button is active (meaning I can click it), but I don't want to brick my phone a couple of days after I bought it.
My device (just in case):
Android Version : 8.1.0 OPM1.171019.011
MIUI Version : MIUI Global 9.5 | Stable 9.5.13.0(OEIMIFA)
Baseband Version : 660_GEN_PACK-1.147555.0.150932.1
Kernel Version : 4.4.78-perf+
Android Security Patch Level : 2018-05-01

You're not doing anything wrong. Now you don't need to apply for permission. Instead go ahead and start Unlocking process. You will be promoted with a message saying that you need to wait for some amount of time (72, 360 or even 720 hours) depending on your model.
Bind your Mi account with your device first.
Go to settings > additional settings > developer options > here you'll find the option to bond your Mi account with your device.
Edit: don't update MIUI as you have arb-3

Thank you for your reply, it was clarifying! On the guide, it says I have to use a VPN to access the Chinese servers, is it really necessary? (just a question, it is not an issue!)

Hi,
My query is kind of different.
I want to hide unlocked bootloader from a few apps. ( Blackberry Work email app).
Any information on this will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I tried connecting to a bunch of Chinese server using VPN (as seen on some youtube videos) but I guess that method is now patched. I guess, it's only applicable on phones with Chinese ROMs within China.
You have to wait. While find some good ROMs and stuff. All the best.

Some apps requires Safetynet to be passed in order to use them, i.e. Banking apps. Unlocked bootloader, rooted phone can trigger this safetynet to fail. You can use magisk to hide the fact that your phone is unlocked.

Thanks for the revert,
however I have already tried Magisk hide and safetynet module but it's not working for me. I am using Redmi note 5 pro with Android 9.0 Pie based Pixel Experience Custom ROM. I am very happy with the ROM except that I am not able to use Blackberry Work app. Other banking apps are working fine.

Yesterday I decided to update to MIUI, I'll see what happens with ARB when I get to it, and I must say I am impressed! @preetam.id I believe it has to do with Blackberry Servers, not Magisk Hide feature, though I haven't used it for a couple of years now and don't what changes RIM has introduced.

Since you updated you can no longer go back to the stock ROM your device came with. You do realize this right? What you will have to do from here is stay on ARB4 and unlock your device from here.
Did you proceed with the unlocking for your device? I too just got my device yesterday and do not want to risk bricking. I don't see an option for bonding the account to the device in developer options.

Question Anyone got it rooted /Magisk?

Through googling, there are a few tutorial in going through how to get this rooted. But does anyone has any success?
Do I have to apply to unlock the OEM unlocker first through online before getting started?
How To Root Xiaomi Poco F3 with Magisk (No TWRP Required) - NaldoTech

Yes, your F3 bootloader has to be unlocked. Keep in mind that doing so will NOT void device warranty, but phone contents will be erased. So take a backup of personal or important files before proceeding.

Thank you Leo,
Just started the unlock process and it requires 168hr (7days) of wait time , guess I can still uses my op5 phone for sometime until the wait.
Pretty annoying way of wait but at least its not unattainable.

Hey. Are you sure it won't void warranty ? E.g.article
Bootloader Unlocking does not Void Warranty of Xiaomi and Redmi Devices - Gizmochina
Xiaomi smartphones are popular in the developer community, thanks to the company’s policy regarding warranty against unlocking of bootloader. But the brand has now updated its policy. Thankfully, bootloader unlocks still does not void warranty of Xiaomi and Redmi devices but with some caveats...
www.gizmochina.com
It says about unlock policy :
... "This policy is applicable to Xiaomi phones in India under both the Mi and Redmi sub-brand. Other regions could possibly have variations to this policy. And before you ask, POCO is excluded from the scope of this article and this policy entirely as it operates as an independent unit and has its own separate policy."
Do you have the source of the information that unlocking POCO from anywhere in the world is officialy not voiding warranty?

I don't know exactly if the above apply in your country.
Here in Italy Xiaomi/POCO said clearly that bootloader unlock and device rooting DOES NOT void warranty.
If further operations will lead to a phone crash/brick, so warranty will be void, and device will be repaired at a cost.
If in doubt, I suggest to ask directly to your local POCO office.

I've got not local poco office jn my country (Poland) . When asked reseller they said - every software modification results in warranty loss. I don't trust their judgment entirely. Anybody know who I may ask about that?
Eventually we all know we relock bootloade, but if they want to they can see if that was the case.
I'm really struggling about unlock + root. I'm not sure if phone has a any defect.
I'll do it for sure in time (I really need V4A). I would have more morales if it was not loosing warranty

Be aware that installing V4A on Android R devices like our F3 isn't as simple as it was with previous versions.
For example, the driver needs Selinux set to permissive to work correctly (a little risky practice).
For the moment I decided to give up, and installed a similar alternative (Wavelet).

Well. On my poco f1 with android q it was problematic but I found workaround not setting Linux to permissive I think. I just had to restart v4a and Spotify often before to make it work ^^. I am desperate to have it. I can't use in-ear headphones without auditory ear protection. They hurt my ears. Wavelet does not have that. Is it a way to achieve the effect? It's a bit off topic already so I will just ask elsewhere...

Yes. Before flashing the patched boot.img you must unlock the bootloader of your F3.

What is this?There is option in dev opt that unlocks bootloader.I never unlocked my old phones by manufacturer.

It does not unlock bootloader, it only allows you to do it in fadtboot if you toggle it. With Xiaomi you need as well their blessing with a code to be able to unlock bootloader as far as I know (no real life experience with Xiaomi yet, still waiting for my F3)

Today I managed to set up Magisk Root without TWRP!

"Patching Images"
The first time the F3 was stuck in bootloop so please save the original Boot.img on the PC to flash it via Fastboot if something goes wrong.
Bootloader unlock is mandatory, is only unlocked after 1 week and deletes all data.

Does unlocking the bootloader disable the ota rom update ? If that's the case do you have to manually flash the rom through fast boot everytime for updating?

Afaik unlocking bootloader does not, rooting does disable ota.
And yes. Only way to flash/update roms is via fastboot untill twrp release.

I found some instructions on how to preserve Magisk root on A/B devices like our F3:
https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/ota.html
I need some advice because the Magisk uninstall process described up there involves original boot.img restoring.
But how can it be possible? The original boot.img is only on my PC, and not on the phone...

Question Global ROM for Xiaomi Pad 5 (nabu)

Hi Guys,
Is there any update on the Global ROM of Xiaomi Pad 5 yet?
It is known that the global version of the tablet is being delivered at retail shops.
Bootloader Unlock has been done well so far, just waiting for the Global ROM.
Here are the reasons I must wait for the Global ROM:
1. Sogou Keyboard does not support well my local texts, especially with the physical keyboards (which I have already purchased thru shopee ~100USD ).
2. Sogou Keyboard automatically reverts back "default" keyboard after reboot even Gboard had been set to Default keyboard.
3. Bloatware, Fonts are horrible
4. No NEARBY SHARE found on the current China ROM 12.5.9.
Thank you!
--------------- Update Oct 13 2021 --------------------
You can flash the Global ROM now, it is available finally!
Do make sure:
1. You have completely unlocked your Xiaomi Pad 5 (bind Mi Account and wait 168hrs), enter Pad 5 to fastboot mode, connect Pad 5 to PC, run Unlock Tool on PC to check Pad 5 is successfully unlocked, it should state "Unlocked" with your device ID.
2. Choose "Clear All" option in XiaoMi Flash Tool to make sure that you will have a brand new ROM on the Device. Remember enter the right Directory Path to ROM folder.
3. There is an error at the end (something like your miss abc file...), that says your have successfully installed the Global ROM to your China Pad 5.

an error msg? its not the first time I have seen this problem

You should try with another PC/Laptop.
Make sure you have installed Xiaomi/Android Drivers, Enable Debugging Mode.
Check your USB port, Open the Xiaomi Unlock to check if your PC recognizes the Xiaomi Device when it is in fastboot mode.

Here's a mistake.

Can confirm, same error shows up on my global Pad 5. I hope it will be fixed with a software update, I can't live without root lol

First things first: Thanks for your work.
Everything is working fine but its too much beta to test it as a daily driver.
What i have to say is, i like the new ui overall BUT the OOS11 UI is so much cleaner an i prefer it over any other ui.
-On first boot the numbers to enter my sim code where to big and i couldnt reach the enter key, a reboot fixed it.
No playstore preinstalled.
-Root is working fine
-USB debugging, pc connection has some problems
-Overall it feels good
-It looks and feels clean but i prefer oos look and feel
-Fingerprint animation is awesome
Going back to OOS11 in 10 minutes, you might have some questions first?

Question Issue with NETFLIX after flashing Stock rom

So I flashed MIUI Global 13.0.5 since I don't feel using any custom rom right now only to find out that there's a Netflix issue for devices with unlock bootloader? I'm not really sure if it's because of this but I searched for different solutions.
Here are the error/issue I found out:
Widevine Certificate is not available in Fingerprint Payments
Netflix is not searchable in Play Store
Installing Netflix apk will give me error that my device doesn;t have network connectivity or date and time settings are not accurate (-121)
So far these are the "fix" that I tried but failed:
Rooted my phone and installed SafetyNet Fix module
Enable Zygisk and added Netflix in Denylist
Added Play Store and Play Services in Denylist
Cleared Google Play Store data
Btw, Netflix is working when I'm on crDroid. Any solution that I still need to try?

So I flashed MIUI Global 13.0.6 since I don't feel using any custom rom right now only to find out that there's a Netflix issue for devices with unlock bootloader? I'm not really sure if it's because of this but I searched for different solutions.
Here are the error/issue I found out:
Widevine Certificate is not available in Fingerprint Payments
Netflix is not searchable in Play Store

How did you flash the MIUI Global 13.0.6 rom?
What is the code name of your phone?
Because I don't see 13.06 but 13.05.

to summarize the video which tends to complicate rather than explain.
Just extract the Tgz file folder and run a Bat file or use Miflash.https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/flash-tool-guide-use-xiaomi-flash-tool.4262425/
For your problem, try flashing the original version: EEA, global etc. (if this is the case try an earlier).

I was able to flash my phone back to 12.0.3 using your method (Windows) and I can't see Netflix in Play Store still. I think it's because of the unlocked bootloader? But I was able to see the Widevine Certificate now.

Is there a version of xiaomi eu equal to MIUI 12.0.3? I really don't want to go MIUI 13 right now.

13 works well on this rom
Miui12
https://sourceforge.net/projects/xi...files/xiaomi.eu/MIUI-STABLE-RELEASES/MIUIv12/

Problem is, Official MIUI doesn't try to spoof the unlocked BL or Root. So Google SafetyNet will just Fail, and as a consequence several apps will refuse work and apps are unavailable in Play Store.
He recommended Xiaomi.eu because that ROM hides the unlocked BL. If you use Root, then you must also use SafetyNet-Fix Module.
Idk why Stock + Magisk Module SafetyNet-Fix didn't work for you, but I had the same issue some time ago when I used to be at MIUI.
