Kai! Ignorance is worse than cancer and AIDS put together.

The man who said, "the best place to hide something from a black man is in books or in writing" is indeed a smartass. The black man naturally hates to read!

Imagine, I've been confirmed to unlock my bootloader all along without even knowing. Here I was complaining when the answers to my complaints were staring at me in the face, all I needed was just to READ! Smh

kstan:
Less than 5mins or within a period of 5days.
But uhm, heed to Oga Gptech and Oga GrandMufti 's advice of reapplying for unlock permission.
This time be more elaborate on your reasons to unlock. Also make sure your SIM can receive verification codes from Xiaomi (that's if you're using MTN).
If you need more information, kindly refer to Oga jboixxx 's signature.
Tnx bruv.

I don't think the sim is the culprit because I've gone past the verification/OTP-code-receiving part of the application process, now it's the confirmation for me to proceed to using miflash tool.

I think I'll reapply with a better reason this time. I thought being honest and brief would cut me deal, obviously I was wrong. Make I prepare plenty lies weh I go dish dem this time.
PhonesRe: The Xiaomi Thread. by gykes(m):
GrandMufti:
You can try again. This time tell you you want to flash developer rom. Ensure the fault is not from mtn or DND
Naah, not from MTN because I recieved the verification OTP code that enabled me apply.

I am done with the application process and was asked to wait for a confirmatory message before using miflash tool since Sunday.

I will just re-apply like you said and give a different / more elaborate reason... tnx boss
PhonesRe: The Xiaomi Thread. by gykes(m): 12:19pm On Nov 08, 2017
GrandMufti:
Most likely rejected. What reasons did you give?
That I want to root my device.

They should have communicated with me atleast and not keep me in the dark since Sunday. This people sef

Gptech:
Can't verify for others, but surely affected my own mido.
OK lemme heed to Kstan's advice and keep lazyflasher zip beforehand.


Leagoo didn't give me this much headaches, neither did BB10.
PhonesRe: The Xiaomi Thread. by gykes(m): 11:42am On Nov 08, 2017
Gptech:
Hahahahahahahaha, no confusion, just speaking from experience, had my Redmi note 4x rooted some months back, saw different methods,bricked phone more than 5 times before trying the lazy flasher ish. What I gathered was that some persons were able to flash supersu without needing lazy flasher before a particular version of miui 8 was released.
I see...

Oga, I will jejely wait till I'm sure of what to do. Meanwhile, do you know how I can reach Xiaomi head office? They've refused to confirm my bootloader unlock request since Sunday.

I want to sue somebody for the delay. I know a good lawyer here in AbJ - Honsule
PhonesRe: The Xiaomi Thread. by gykes(m): 11:35am On Nov 08, 2017
kstan:
No wahala Bro...
But just in case something goes wrong, do download and keep the lazy flasher zip file safe in your internal/external storage.
I sure will..

Please, how long does it take Xiaomi to confirm bootloader unlock request? I've been waiting since Sunday for them to confirm my request so I can proceed to unlock this bootloader and flash the living-daylight out of this phone...

Xiaomi kilode?
PhonesRe: The Xiaomi Thread. by gykes(m): 11:28am On Nov 08, 2017
Gptech:
Important for note 4x, unless the newer roms fixed it.
In other words, the lazyflasher thingy affects only Mido?
PhonesRe: The Xiaomi Thread. by gykes(m):
Gptech:
Its very important oooo, otherwise bootloop is the order of the day.
And the confusion begins...

When 2 ogas (Gptech and Kstan) are in disagreement over lazyflasher, lemme just wait till they come to an agreed conclusion.

But I saw 2 checkboxes for "keep force encryption" and "keep dm-verity" respectively in Advanced settings of that Magisk manager pic posted by Dmedalion. Seems there's a way to get past android/xiaomi security checks in Magisk.

Lazy flasher is not important, Bro.
All Xiaomi phones that I came across were flashed and rooted successfully with the above method.
OK tnx a bunch bruv..

(Guide) How To Flash TWRP Recovery And Root Your Xiaomi Device With SuperSU.

Before you get here, you must have your phone's Bootloader Unlocked. If you haven't, kindly refer to the link on my signature.

Download the latest SuperSu zip file for Xiaomi Devices.
http://www.supersu.com/download

Now, the steps:

First and foremost, grab your PC. Your device must be recognized. Be sure you have Xiaomi USB Drivers properly installed in your PC,

OEM Unlock and USB Debugging activated in your phone ( Settings-About Device-MIUI Version-Tap Continuously for about 7times to enable Developer Options-Locate Additional Settings-Developer Options-Activate OEM Unlocking-Activate USB Debugging)

Download the latest TWRP Recovery for your Xiaomi Device. The latest version is TWRP 3.1.0-0.
https://twrp.me/Devices/Xiaomi/

NOTE: Download the exact TWRP Recovery 3.1.0-0 for your Xiaomi Device. Failure to do this, will lead to bricking your device.

Rename the downloaded file to 'recovery.img' without the perentessis.

Move the recovery.img to the same file where the ADB was installed in your PC. ( It should be on Computer-> C: -> Adb )

Open the ADB folder

Press and hold the shift key and right click in the folder

Click on the option "Open Command Window Here"

Boot your device on fastboot mode by turning it off, pressing Power and the Volume Down buttons together, and then connect it with an original USB Cord to your PC.

First type this command "fastboot devices" to check if your device is into fastboot mode

Enter the command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

Enter the command "fastboot boot recovery.img"

Your phone is now in TWRP recovery mode. grin

In Recovery, Select Install and scroll to where the downloaded 'SuperSu.zip' is in your phone.

Confirm by swiping right to flash.

Reboot your device

Don't be scared if your device bootloops or doesn't boot immediately. Most times it needs 15 to 30 seconds to boot completely.

Now, you have successfully Flashed TWRP Recovery And Rooted Your Xiaomi With SuperSU. grin
Your guide didn't advice flashing lazy flasher afterwards Or its not important?
PhonesRe: The Xiaomi Thread. by gykes(m): 7:29am On Nov 05, 2017
kstan:
First and foremost, we all should understand what it means to unlock your phone's Bootloader.
You lose your phone's warranty. Also, you will lose the "Find Device" feature on your device. Yes, you read right...
So if you can be able to deal with the loss of those 'two', then you can go ahead to unlock your device.

PROCEDURE 1

By now you must have a MI account, if you don't, create one and login on your device.

Activate "locate service", set your region in additional settings and sync it one time in mi cloud.

Login your account on MI forum . YOUR ACCOUNT USERNAME IN YOUR PHONE MUST MATCH THE ONE IN THE MI FORUM.

Grab your PC.

Download and install any VPN on your PC (I always use OPERA or FLYVPN).

Change your location to any (In my case, I used SHANGHAI).

Now go to http://en.miui.com/unlock/

Tap UNLOCK NOW.

Apply by giving reasons you need to unlock your phone's Bootloader.

Again, YOUR ACCOUNT USERNAME IN YOUR PHONE MUST MATCH THE ONE IN THE MI FORUM.
Tap on APPLY NOW.

After that, a confirmation SMS with a verification code will be sent to the phone number used in registering your MI account which you must've also typed on the application page.

After typing in the verification code sent to you from Xiaomi via SMS on the application page, you'll get a notification stating that your application was successfully submitted.

Next, you'll have to wait for another confirmation SMS stating that you've been granted PERMISSION to Unlock your phone's Bootloader.

For some, it took less than 5mins. Some 3-5days. But once you get the PERMISSION, you'll have to wait for at least 5days for Xiaomi to update their database before you get to Unlock your device using the MiFlash Unlock Tool.

PROCEDURE 2

By now, you must have received the SMS confirmation from Xiaomi granting to unlock the bootloader.

Enable Developer options. To do so, Go to Settings > About phone, and then tap ‘Build number’ 7 – 8 times for Developers options to appear.

Under Settings → Additional Settings→ Developer option and bind your approved Mi account under Mi Unlock Status.

Also enable OEM UNLOCKING and USB DEBUGGING.

Log into the Mi account which has acquired unlocking permission on your device.

Download the MiFlash Unlock Tool on your PC. (I downloaded Miflash_Unlock-En-2.2.406.5

Now reboot your device in bootloader mode.

Turn off your device, press the Power button and Volume Down (-) button at the same time to enter into bootloader mode.

On your PC with a steady strong network, Open Mi Flash Unlock tool.
Login with the same Mi account you used in your Xiaomi device.

Connect the device with the PC using the USB cable.

Now press the “Unlock” button. It will take 10-15 seconds for the process to complete.

Now you have successfully unlocked your Bootloader.

NOTE:
Do not proceed in a hurry. Read each step carefully.

How do you get past the Chinese writeups? I was able to get the OTP code from Xiaomi, on trying to submit it, I was getting some pop up messages in Chinese. Had to quit the all whole thing.

When you flash new iterations of miuipro from twrp, do you lose all your data only to restore them later or it just updates keeping everything intact?

frankeinstein:
The fact that the 'mood swings' come in the last two weeks of the month is striking. It's usually one of the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome
Oga, leave this talk about 'last two weeks of the month' and pms. So because her mood swings are consistent in the last weeks of every month, pms is certainly the culprit? I hear you.

Have you thought of the possibility that the other guy the said lady might be seeing works offshore and comes home the last two weeks of every month?

Op I will advice you do your best to know her house and family. Because she may not be cheating on you, but in fact, cheating on her husband with you.

All based on official miui ROM....
Face recognition...if u mean that of camera...it's all good .. anything outside that ..avnt seen yet..been on it for a week now.
Face Recognition security feature. It's using the front facing camera to unlock your device. I read about it on miuipro.by, I think it's on MIUIPRO 7.10.26.

Repackaged MIUIpro, hmmmmmm haven't heard. Is it still on the site
