ok, so I did everything on my poco f3, but when unlocking it says: Couldn't unlock. "Please add your account in settings > developer options > Mi unlock status" I went there again and added the account, but it still says the same message... Please help. Could it be that I really need to wait 7 days? I don't see it anywhere telling me I need to wait!

[@giridharrao3158]

I'm confused should I need to flash a custom ROM or not bcz my old device had great development (mido aka Redmi note 4) but the present device ( poco x3) seems not have much and I used to observe that many times when a update comes (for custom ROM) they used to mention clean flash is that still going on bcz this time I don't want head ace of clean flashing every now and then ....so Rohit should I need to flash and get used to miui 🥲 ?

[@rohitagni]

Your choice sir, honestly I don't mind clean flashing since most of my data lives in the cloud.

[@JstormZx]

Or with magisk root and swift backup, you have absolutely nothing to worry about. You can take a full backup of all apps and some other device data, and when you restore, it will be like you never even did a clean flash

[@JstormZx]

@@giridharrao3158 well living with a rooted phone isn't very different from a normal phone, there's nothing more than giving access to apps that request, and you can always hide root from apps that don't work when it detects root. Other than that it's a very smooth, normal experience you're afraid of nothing really. But sure, you're welcome.

Hi Sir , I am trying to unlock an old redmi 2 prime device. It is based on miui9 Android 5.1. one thing that is missing in developer options is :Mi Unlock Status' I don't see it anywhere. When I use unlock tool it goes upto 99% and fails with message Device basic data validation failed, device couldn't be unlocked. Mi account is setup correctly. Would appreciate any input from you. Thank you

[@GatikPrasher]

Go to about page then tap on miui version 7 times , it will unlock developer options in the last option of settings page, then tap on OEM unlocking, then click mi unlock status then tap add account and device then wait for 7 days

[@GatikPrasher]

Did this work?

[@letsee9215]

@@GatikPrasher no..the mi unlock status option is not visible. Oem unlock and usb debugging have been enabled. Mi unlock status is not available as an option. I have tried flashing Android 12 but it failed as the bootloader is locked. Thank you for your input though

[@GatikPrasher]

@@letsee9215 mi unlock is an app for windows, not for android, u will have to use your laptop or pc for booltoader unlock, after waiting for 7 days(don't tap on add account and device if u have already done that because it will reset your waiting time).. What do u want to do with unlocked bootloader(rooting or custom rom?)

[@letsee9215]

@@GatikPrasher thanks for replying. Basically the KZbin app stopped working as Android 5 is no longer supported. I wanted to get it to work, easiest way was to flash a custom ROM, I thought it would be easy, as I have done so on other devices multiple times. I am aware of the steps to do so, but here on this redmi 2 prime, which has miui9 on Android 5.1, the bootloader is locked. Based on multiple KZbin videos, I followed all the steps. However the roadblock for me is, that , the MI UNLOCK STATUS OPTION, is not available. I had followed rest steps, when like locating the phone on mi cloud etc. still the mi unlock tool gets stuck at 99% saying basic device verification failed. So l don't see the message to wait for 8 days to unlock bootloader. I think it's the missing mi unlock status under the dev option that is the problem. Are you aware how to get that option or any work around
