How to Unlock the Bootloader of Xiaomi Redmi & Mi Phones?
Process 1: Get the Unlock Permission from Xiaomi
Step 1. Go to the Official page of MIUI unlock. I prefer you to use Chrome browser for language translation purpose. Step 2. Here you will see the blue button named “Unlock Now”. Click it. Step 3. Now a new page will open which will ask you to enter the Login ID & Password. The page is in the Chinese language. You can use Google Translate Chrome extension to translate the page into English. Step 4. Now log in with your Mi Account or FB Account credentials. Step 5. Once logged in, you’ll see an Unlock Application Permissions page. Step 6. Here enter your Name, Number and the reason to unlock the bootloader. And tap on the button ‘Apply Immediately’. I prefer you to give the reason for unlocking in the Chinese language for a quick approval. You can use Google Translate to do so. Also, do not write a long reason, keep it short and simple. For example template you can quote the reason as ‘Phone is bricked, I request you to accept my approval’. In Chinese, it writes as “电话是bricked，我要求你接受我的批准”.u Step 7. In the next page, you’ll need to enter the verification code sent to you via SMS. The servers are slow so it may take some time for you to get the SMS, do not tap on re-send SMS/Code multiple times. If you get an error message, wait and apply after 24 hours. Step 8. Once done, you will see a page stating “Application has been successfully submitted”. It will take around 2-10 days for approval and you will receive the confirmation via SMS. The application is approved manually. If it is not approved then go to Help Forum and take help of the support. Step 9. Once you get the confirmation you can proceed forward with the unlocking process.
