Hi guys, I’m actually facing a little trouble around here, im trying unlock the bootloader of my redmi note 7 pro. But the latest xiaomi unlock tool doesn’t recognize it, is there something to do with port. Im using windows for this, the laptop detects the mobile but the xiaomi application won’t. Any suggestion or have anyone faced similar issue with any other xiaomi device.
Is this your first time unlocking/flashing a device? If it is, I would recommend first looking into installing the android adb tools, sometimes you can find minimal installs, then turning your phone in boot mode and trying to comunicate with it. This is usually done with the terminal and after you send a specific command the phone should reply with its identifier (i dont remember the specifics). Once you can communicate with the device this means the drivers you need are installed properly and you should be able to see your phone in the xiaomi application (or unlock the bootloader directly from the terminal).
All of this assumes you got the unlock code from the xiaomi site (which ofently does not work) but there are some shady programs around to bypass this step.
Actually i was using linux for years but had to switch to windows for research analysis software purpose. In that i used to have adb to remove google and other bloatware applications. Though its not permanent atleast they don’t run either. Right In the windows too i have installed the adb. If so like you are saying that we can unlock bootloader without xiaomi then it really great thing. But i hope I don’t brick my phone in the process, though its old phone i still use to avoid overuse of my current phone.
