Okay so me and probably others have/had problems with unlocking your Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime.
These are simple steps to succes.

what is needed: Redmi 4 pro, ADB drivers

1. Sign to Xiaomi and apply for unlocking http://en.miui.com/unlock/
It is important to add correct data.

2. Connect to your Mi account on the device and enable Find Device option under Xaiomi cloud
if it is done correctly u will be able to find ur device at https://i.mi.com/

3 Wait for permission u will receive SMS message.

4. When permission is aquired and device is connected to Mi Cloud we have to try to unlock the device.

5 . Download Mi Unlock software ( added to post up there )

6 .Enable developer settings
System info -> couple of clicks on MiUi version
Back - > more settings -> developer settings - > Enable OEM unlock

7. Reboot to fastboot ( Vol down + power ) till some (russian?) bunny appears

8. Perform unlock from Mi Unlocker and press
Left button
enter Login(email) and password to mi account
Connect the phone and press the button !

9 Reboot. You should be done Congrats !

You can install miui global now or any other rom. to Perform you have to :
1. Boot to fastboot
2.Download Brigudav Recovery https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-4-prime/development/recovery-twrp-3-1-1-2-brigudav-t3656372

I dont know but if you have installed non original rom isnt ur phone already unlocked?

Probably you can unlock your phone just make an application you can probably check the bootloader state from fastboot by

fastboot oem device-info

in fastboot mode

Ofcourse you can but as i say so if u want to keep ur warranty u have to apply to them at unlock link that i posted, thought ive heard that its best to send them phones with miui when something got broken

You can't!!!

You need to flash a official China Stable 8.0.5.0 ROM to unlock - tried it with different phones and methods...

I have not activated the "find device" and is still unlocked.

Hi
I have recently purchased a Redmi 4 Prime phone that came with the vendor rom and I wanted to flash the latest china dev rom, but am stuck in bootloop. cant enter DL mode, but fastboot is OK. unfortunately none of the adb commads work, the phone is recognized under "fastboot devices" but not under "adb devices". I have tried the fastboot2edl v2 method but is goes straight into bootloop. can you please suggest what to do and help me out?

Try to turn it off and press volume down + up and power until the LED flashes red and connect USB - it should be recognized as Qualcomm ******

If not, then build your own deep flash cable or order one on ebay or something... - with that u can reach the DL mode on nearly every Qualcomm device

Flashed the Developer Preview Rom and it worked

 

[butcher33]

usually the issue with unlock is a different username used to login. use the same, either email, number or name on both.

should solve it.

Can anyone translate this to English?

Could make it easier to flash a new ROM

11 days ago I apply for the bootloader unlock.
I'm in trouble. I want to install an unofficial rom and this says mi.

 

[kentaurest]

Then use unofficial unlock.

well did u synced with mi cloud and enabled find then watched if its available in i.mi.com?

Finally got my unlock permission and I think I did everything correctly but I still get this error msg :crying:

And trying with the older unlocker linked in this thread:

try to make another account maybe, what did u wrote to them ? i was applying with " i want to install miui global" or something had no problems

 

[Rafudus]

I can't because unnofficial roms need official unlock...

try to make another account maybe, what did u wrote to them ? i was applying with " i want to install miui global" or something had no problems

Yes i have it synced... I think that my fault was the reason of the applying... I wrote a copy paste one...
The thing is that i have to wait for the next month or i have to make another account?! :crying:
