Hey everyone,

I'm stuck with a Redmi 4X (santoni) on MIUI 10(Android 7). I want to unlock the bootloader, but Xiaomi has shut down the servers for these older models, so the official tool doesn't work anymore.

I know EDL (9008) flashing is a thing, but honestly, I'm a total beginner and I'm terrified of bricking the phone.

Does anyone have a link to a one-click unlock tool or a simplified method that still works for this device? Or are there any trusted tools/scripts that the community uses for legacy Snapdragon 435 devices?By the way, I'm running Windows 11 on my PC.

Appreciate any leads!
