Redmi Note 4 unlockig issue

[marteen91]

Hello!

I have a problem with unlocking:
Redmi Note 4
Snapdragon 625
And. 7.0 NRD70M
MIUI Global 11.0.2
kernel: 3.18.31

Phone is registered in Poland (and bought as a new here) but I think it's global version and miflash is telling me that it doesn't match the country where it was sold. Seems that seller/shop bought it outside Poland.

I'd like to upgrade to higher android version, but as far, as I know, it's not possible to do it without unlocking.

I read that there is an option to get unlock, when I ask here.
Is it possible?

Or any other option to upgrade ROM?

Regards,
Marteen

Unlocking the bootloader is a necessary step to install a custom ROM or flash a new version of Android, especially if your device is locked by Xiaomi.

Check the IMEI to make sure it's not a CN version.

 

[marteen91]

Sure, i know that.
Tested multiple soft. legal.
Old and nęw. all was fail in the end :/

If it is a Global device, maybe on your Xiaomi PC account, the country is China or it is a modified IMEI.

Check the IMEI to make sure it's not a CN version.

IMEI: 8656840315xxxx

But bought in Poland as a new in the shop, i don't know where they get it from - i coudn't and also now can't check it.

You have the answer, CN device.

 

[marteen91]

You have the answer, CN device.

So, any option to unlock it?
And how do U get to that CN, there is no clear sign, nowhere.

For privacy, you should hide the IMEI at the start of your post.

Nope.

Done, but really - i don't care.
It's neither my "private" (nor primary) phone, and after unlock, I can change it.
No reason to hide, but I do understand legal right, also hidden.

Nope.

No, U r wrong, it could be done by EDL, but i wished that it could be done on the software way.
