Run Mi Unlock (Linux) on Trisquel, facing python issues
- Vous devez vous identifier ou créer un compte pour écrire des commentaires
Hello there,
I’ve recently been in the process of installing my Mi/Xiaomi phone with LineageOS. Everything I did on the device is up and ready for hacking but of course Xiaomi decided that their phones can only be unlocked via an app they have made which only runs on Micro$oft Windows.
Thankfully someone or a team has made a version of the ‘Mi Unlock’ app that runs on Linux.
I have been following this guide here (https://github.com/offici5l/MiUnlockTool/blob/main/INSTALL.md) to install the MiUnlockTool via ‘sudo pip install miunlock’, but of course needed to make sure I have the right builds. I
I already have the latest version of ‘python3,’ which is no issue have when I try to install ‘python3-venv’ I get the following:
“User@Computer:~$ sudo apt install python3-venv….
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
python3.10-venv : Depends: python3-pip-whl but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.”
Without this package, I won’t be able to unlock my Mi Phone, install it with LineageOS and actually own it without lock-in venders getting in the way (or at least before Google makes their “changes”).
The question is: is there an alternative to ‘python3-pip-whl’ or is it referred to as something else and what packages do I have that is currently interfering with this install.
There are other Linux builds of the MiUnlock app, but I wanted to stick with the github link above as it appears to be the latest version available.
I appreciate your time, questions and advice given to me in the posts.
Thank you
