[mark.dx]

nevermind I got it by did some research and some cold sweat lol,

if you stuck on Mi logo , press and hold power + volume down until the phone reboot and enter fastboot mode, flash TWRP 3.1.0 then reboot to recovery then flash lazyflash zip and it will success. use TWRP 3.1.0 also fix issue if you got error -1 when flashing lazyflash zip

Can someone reupload the Mi Unlock Tool?
I tried the latest version 2.x but it says my device needs to be bound for at least 72 hours.
The only other version I found is 1.1.0317.1 which says I need to update to a newer version of the tool.
Unless of course Xiaomi disabled unlocking with the old version on newer phones.

I had the same error yesterday, today the message is "... at least 46h" and I read on the web that you have to wait at least 3 days from Mi account connection and unlock.
Is it possible?
I hope it's the truth because I try 4 different mi unlock tool and only the latest go over 50% [emoji17]

I followed the guide, but installed twrp 3.1.1-0 from this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-4-prime/development/rom-ressurection-remix-v5-8-3-t3623666 and lazyflasher as point "B".
I noticed that phone is now encrypted and I can't unencrypt it under security menu. Boot is very long, asking for password.

How do I unencrypt phone ?
Installing Lazyflasher were really necessary ?
I can't boot in recovery mode anymore

Go to TWRP. Go to the "Wipe" menu and click "Format Data".

The problem is I can´t go to recovery anymore.
Tried "vol up + power", "vol up + vol down + power" and "fastboot reboot-bootloader" in cmd too.

a. Decrypt phone see here:

https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...dmi-4-prime-pro-markw-how-to-disable-t3594239

b. Lazy flasher is needed as the the rom will replace twrp with xiaomi standard recovery after phone reboot.

c. See poin E.7.

Boot into recovery (3 possible methods)
+ by entering terminal command in command line: >>fastboot boot recovery.img<<, or
+ by holding together "Volume Up + Power" until you see the MI logo, release "Power" button but keep pressing "Volume Up” until you see the recovery, or
+ by holding together "Volume Up + Volume Down + Power" until you see recovery

No options work, neither buttons or terminal fastboot, I can´t go to recovery.
Command "fastboot boot recovery.img" returns "cannot load 'recovery.img': No such file or directory"
I managed to reflash recovery using "fastboot flash recovery markw-twrp-3.1.1-0.img" but I still can´t go to recovery. HELP!

After you flash twrp in fastboot mode, DO NOT RESTART the phone but go directly to recovery by holding together "Volume Up + Volume Down + Power" until you see recovery. From there on you follow steps as I explained in point E. 7.

Did you try without USB connected? I cannot go to recovery with USB still connected. If I disconnect, it's fine.

The MiFlashtool doesn't detect my ROM to flash.
I unziped it (from .tgz it went to .tar) but the tool doesn't detect it..

Pls use another version (older version, or Chinese version etc.) of MiFlashTool. If that still does not work pls use another computer. This might help...

Please try the unlock tool "miflash_unlock-en-2.2.624.14". I tried it myself on several devices (Redmi 4 Prime, Redmi Note 4, Mi5, Mi5s) and every time it was successful. Here download link: https://mega.nz/#!JhZVhTpC!k-CH3dG0u...QAsQAfvzprqW1g

Hi. I'm thinking of unlocking my bootloader to flash custom rom. I got sms permission months ago. Will my data be lost after unlocking? Thanks in advance.

Data will not be lost. But keep a backup for safety.
