Hello, MIUIlers. Anyone successfully unlocked his bootloader here?

So, has vosquare responded?

davit:


Has anyone here successfully unlocked redmi note 3 bootloader so as to root. I am on stable rom. And don't want to install custom rom to unlock bootloader as I read on some blogs. I only want to root it. Your response is needed. Thanks.

Someone here has unlocked, rooting is not difficult, just make sure you install a custom recovery, twrp preferably. But if I may ask, since you are not after custom roms then why seek ye root access?

humblesteve:

Okay, thanks

I use the special edition of redmi note 3 3i. It supports glo network. In fact all the network providers in Nigeria work with it. Currently using smile volte on it sef. RN3SD all the way.

I need to install third party apps that require root access. Thanks. And probably custom recovery too.

So, has vosquare responded?

Not yet bro.

Divine17:

Thanks, yes I did.

Thats good, so how long did it take to arrive?

How many guys here participated in geekbuying 11.11 discount sales. I ordered on 12.11 and was given a tracking no of Singapore post on 26.11. To date, it has not been shipped.
What next guys?

Thats geekbuying for you..... Go to https://www.trustpilot.com/review/geekbuying.com and make a complain, they will respond to you. Or you can email them at support_tracking@geekbuying.com.

Dont forget to give them yr order number.

davit:

You guys should have read up stuffs about their site before ordering. geekbuying is a scam site. I only hope you get your money eye back sha provided you paid through only tru PayPal o. Only trust Aliexpress though some sellers there too are fraudulent. But I have always been lucky buying there. All da best

To be fair to them, geekbuying is one of the online shops that I respect in terms of phones. They sell at modest prices comparatively.
I have been making many orders from them, in fact that last month, I ordered several power banks and all arrived in time.
In this case, they sold the Xiaomi Redmi 3s for $99. This was an irresistible price - which I believe generated tons of orders beyond what they can cope at that moment. They have to wait for Xiaomi to produce the phone before supplies. I don't have problem with that. That's presell. They would have advertised it as such and indicate a realistic timeframe for customers to align their expectations accordingly. Instead, they resorted to issuing an untenable tracking no - as if they had shipped the items.

Since you paid with PayPal, you have nothing to worry about, just give them a ring and watch them issue you a tracking number.. I ordered Xiaomi redmi 4a, it was still in the " processing " stage for almost close to two weeks, once I got PayPal involved, they quickly issued an untainable meaningless tracking number (666666?) which I couldn't track..The next day, I got what looks like a genuine number, at least I can now track the device.. Most of these Chinese resellers don't always have the goods advertised in stock. If dey no dey do PayPal, am not interested, no matter how cheap the product is..

Have you summited request for bootloader unlocking?

I have got the permission. Buh getting stuck at 50 during unlocking.

vosquare:

I'm on MIUI8 stable version.

davit:

Wait for at least 10 days and try again. it's a common error. Make sure you signed in to your miui account and that your phone is visible in mi cloud. I think you also have to be on Chinese rom to unlock the bootloader using the official method.
