Unknown Error (90000)
I used this really nice guide to walk through all these steps, but always failed at the same point: At 99% it simply failed to unlock, because evidently it couldn't get the unlock code from the server in China. At least that's what I read from the detailed log file the unlocking tool is writing: It simply echoes the json resturn message that comes from the server.
I had the Huawei account, I had associated the device, I even finally inserted a SIM card and had it associate with the device and account (the phone was meant for my son and in any case, Huawei has no business knowing my phone number...) but that changed nothing. I even reverted back from the automatic Oreo update and switched the gobal developer ROM, again that didn't do a thing.
In the end I had to return the phone on the day the 14 day "no questions asked" grace period in EU e-tail ran out: I'm sorry it most likely will now get destroyed (evidently it's too much trouble to repackage them), because it was a very fine phone and could have been perfect for someone who doesn't care about the ability to have adminstrator level access to his very personal computer, but I do.
Replaced it with a Nokia 8 for the same last-year-premium price, which unlocked very easily using $5 to get the code. Not the better device, but easier to unlock.
If anyone has a clue how to solve this, I'd be more than happy to buy another Mi Mix 2 (or any other Xiaomi), because they seem to be well made and at least still officially have the policy to enable unlocking.
Let's just hope this iNonsense doesn't spread...
I think now we know my device has some hardware problem internally so i just soak it up and move on.... I may buy another mi mix 2 and try again, i hope im not getting a lemon twice!! Thank You Sir
