The first step is to unlock bootloader on Redmi K30 / Pro in order to install LineageOS or TWRP or root. In this post I have brough a step-by-step guide to unlock bootloader of Redmi K30 / Pro.

[su_note note_color=”#F9D9D9″ text_color=”#AA4343″ radius=”3″ class=”” id=””]
DISCLAMER:
Unlocking the bootloader of Redmi K30 / Pro may void the warranty of your device and erase all user data. So, make sure that you are out of the warranty period or you are sure about what you are doing with your device. Also, make sure to backup all important data out of the phone.
[/su_note]

What is a Bootloader and why is it locked?

In computing, the startup process of a device is called as boot-up. During this boot-up process, the device is unusable by the user till it boots-up completely.

A boot-loader is a piece of software that loads other software(s) during the boot-up process. In Android this bootloader is locked to make sure no-one can alter what is being loaded by this bootloader.

Usually a user can install a software only after the boot process is complete and when the device is ready to use. So, basically the bootloader software is not something that is meant for the user but to run the device. If not secured, the user may alter the boot-up process leaving the device unusable.

Locking the bootloader ensures that the software integrity of the phone is trusted, meaning it has not been modified from the stock and hence used to provide or discard warranty etc.

Things Required to Unlock Bootloader of Redmi K30 / Pro

Once you understand what is the bootloader and want to unlock it on your Redmi K30 / Pro then below are the few things that you need to do first.

1. 30% or more battery charge (just to be on the safe side)
2. Register for Mi Account (you might have already done it on your phone or you can do it now)
3. A Windows PC with internet connection
4. Download the MiFlash Unlock Tool (only available for Windows)

Now, How to Unlock bootloader on Redmi K30 / Pro?

1. First enable Developer Options which is hidden.
   [su_note note_color=”#D7E3F4″ text_color=”#728095″ radius=”3″ class=”” id=””]To enable developer options go to Settings > About Phone > Tap 7-8 times on MIUI Version to unlock the developer options[/su_note]
2. Then enable the OEM unlocking and USB debugging options which are inside Developer Options settings.
   [su_note note_color=”#D7E3F4″ text_color=”#728095″ radius=”3″ class=”” id=””]Go to Settings > Additional Settings > Developer Options scroll down a bit and first enable OEM Unlocking and then scroll a little bit down and enable USB Debugging[/su_note]
3. Add your Redmi K30 / Pro to the Mi Unlock Status
   [su_note note_color=”#D7E3F4″ text_color=”#728095″ radius=”3″ class=”” id=””]Go to Settings > Additional Settings > Developer Options > Mi Unlock status and add your Mi account to your Redmi K30 / Pro[/su_note]The Unlock status page will look like the below image when locked and when unlocked –
   
4. Now unzip the MiFlash Unlock tool zip file that you have downloaded earlier (if not download it now and unzip) and run the MiUsbDriver.exe file to install the USB driver which is required for the Redmi K30 / Pro bootloader unlock process.
5. Then from the same folder run the miflash_unlock.exe program.[su_note note_color=”#D7E3F4″ text_color=”#728095″ radius=”3″ class=”” id=””]Read the disclaimer carefully and Agree to the terms and condition to proceed.[/su_note]
6. Then sign-in to the Mi account.
   [su_note note_color=”#D7E3F4″ text_color=”#728095″ radius=”3″ class=”” id=””]- Enter your registered mobile phone number and then click on the Get verification code button to get a verification code.
   – Enter the verification code and then click on the Sign in/Sign up button.[/su_note][su_note note_color=”#FBF4DD” text_color=”#A38C68″ radius=”3″ class=”” id=””]There are only 3 attempts allowed in 24 hours of time. So, be careful while using this.[/su_note]
7. The tool will verify for the permissions on your Mi account and take you to the next screen where it will ask you to connect the phone to the PC.
8. Boot the phone into Fastboot mode and then connect to the PC using a USB cable.[su_note note_color=”#D7E3F4″ text_color=”#728095″ radius=”3″ class=”” id=””]Here the phone must be in Fastboot mode or otherwise known as bootloader mode.
   To boot into the fastboot mode first power off the Redmi K30 / Pro and then press and hold Volume Down and Power button together till you see the fastboot screen on the phone.[/su_note]
9. Once connected the Unlock button on the application will be activated. Click on the Unlock button to start the bootloader unlock process of your Redmi K30 / Pro.

The software application may take a while to unlock the bootloader on your Redmi K30 / Pro. If done correctly then your phone will have an unlocked bootloader after few seconds.

What if the Redmi K30 / Pro Bootloader Unlock Process Failed?

As this thing is not quite straight forward, it is quite possible that you may end have failed to unlock bootloader of Redmi K30 / Pro phone.

Sometimes the MiFlash Unlock tool shows a failed message only at 99% of processing. Sometimes the tool fails if it is not able to detect your phone at all etc.

There could be few reasons of failure! Following could be the reasons to looka at if it happens so –

• See if you have installed the USB drivers correctly and it does show in the device manager of Windows OS when you connect the phone in fastboot mode
• or See if you have put your phone in Fastboot mode or not while connecting to the PC
• Verify if you have enabled USB debugging and OEM unlock and linked your phone to the Mi account in the Mi Unlock status
• Verify if your account has unlock permissions.
• If everything is alright but still it fails, then contact the Xiaomi support team or you can use their forum to seek support on your case.

Well, that’s all on how to unlock bootloader on Redmi K30 / Pro. If you face any kind of issue while following this guide, then just leave a reply here to get a response back.
