Hi guys,
I'm trying to unlock my bootloader.
I have an a mi account which is allowed to unlock bootloaders since 1-2 years.
I've already successfully unlocked a mi mix 2, but as I remember I had some issues with that model too, but can't remember how I solved that.
When I first started the newest version of mi unlock and tried to unlock the device it went up to 99 % and then gave me an error (can't remember the message though).
Now when I try to unlock it goes to 50 % and ends with "couldn't verify device - try again".
I tried like 6+ different versions of mi unlock, most had the same outcome, some didn't even recognize the device at all.
Does anyone has any idea what else I can try?
Kind regards
Any chance you are on amd? It is a bug with ryzen CPU.

Yep I figured out that unfortunately this is indeed the problem.
Have to find a intel pc for unlocking.

hello, my account is ALREADY allowed to unlock because i unlocked a phone some months ago.
i enableddeveloper options, enabled OEM unlock, added my account ot mi account status, but after i put it i receive the 86006 error.
So when i use miunlock program from pc... it says me that current account is not bound to this device. BUT IT IS NOT TRUE.... how to solve this but?
already tried a factory reset..... nothing helped me,
i flashed the latest developer now seems to solve it... no more error BUT on mi unlock program it says me t wait 72hours. WHY? my account is already unlocked and approved months ago for unlocking....
i am going to update you after 72 hours... if i will unlock it
Any update?
if you are on stable 8.5 , flash dev rom (i flashed dev 9), it will solve 86006
now every account need 72 hours after added to device

If you install that tool and check all of the .exe files on virustotal.com you'll find a lot of hits on some of the files which appear to have trojans in them. Be careful. One file had 5 or 6 hits and another had 11 hits on virustotal.com which an almost certain sign it is a dangerous trojan.
I solve this problem flash dev rom :good:
I appreciate the help but this is a terrible solution for those of us who just need root but don't want a custom rom and never intended to wipe. There is a workaround that failed for me but appears to be working for the Redmi Note and the Miui forum claims it now works for ALL phones receiving 86006 error (the fix where you don't actually have to bind the account -- just verify with phone number on the mi website, then let it locate your phone, and then, if that doesn't work, clear the mi unlock tool cache.
Mentioning it because even though it didn't work for me (Live in USA, using global rom) maybe it works for others in other countries. Most of the posts I've seen where it worked were from users located in India.
One of my friend has redmi note 3 kenzo
It would be very helpful if someone has a trick to unlock bootloader without permission.
I think there is no need of permission for old devices for unlocking bootloader.
One of my friend has Redmi note 4X and was able to unlocked without asking for permission.
even this worked for his Redmi 3S but with 72hours of waiting time.
Just logged in into Mi unlock tool with same account as in device and your friend should be able to unlock bootloader (maybe not right away but with several hours of waiting time)
Problem isn't that
Problem is :- He is not able to add his mi account from developer option for oem unlocking.
An error occur always.

Yes, right. Log in in Mi unlock tools on PC with the same account as in the phone and then connect phone in fastboot mode but first make sure oem unlock is enable and usb debugging is turned on. ignore the account log in in phone.
just give it try.

Log out of mi account in your phone, log in again, associate that account with your device then try unlocking the bootloader. Worked for me that way.

sorry but I don't get it... if you login to Mi account that means you are getting permission from Xiaomi isn't not?

Don't be confused. Older devices are unlockable without even applying(i am saying this on my experience) i have unlocked two of my friends Redmi 3S and Redmi note 4X without even applying to xiaomi.
never devices needs to have permission to unlock and it takes time and request can get rejected if the it does not meet their conditions.
if you have old device such as more than a year or more.
Just download and install Mi flash tools and you are good to unlock but it still shows error of 50% or stuck at 99% so you'll have to unlock after remaining hours which will show on mi unlock tools.
I just used this method to unlock my Mi Max 2, Miui 10

Its most likely server error from xiaomi as it happens many times and almost everyone faced it whoever tried to unlock i guess.
Please try again later and if possible try and connect to different WiFi network before adding account.
Also you can just give it a try by enabling USB debugging, oem unlock turned on from developers options and then just turn off your device and boot into fastboot mode and try unlocking it, regardless of adding mi account.
You should also try some different versions of mi unlock tools(preferably older version).
As i have mentioned it worked without even adding account and it took 3 days to unlock as it was getting stuck at 50% or 99% and was asking to wait for 72 hours and later it unlocked in first try so this should work for you too.
There is unofficial way to unlock bootloader please search on XDA/YouTube or some other websites.
I am exactly facing the same problem please help
Dear friends i done all this

Thanks for the help if this works it will help me out a lot.

See. This is why you should flash WITHOUT locking BL in MiFlash, if something goes wrong u can do it again but if you have locked BL, then you probably need to use EDL

So 3 months after I got the phone, I tried to unlock the bootloader about 2 weeks ago, and got the timer (168 hours). Now when I tried to unlock it again, it's mostly giving me (Like 9.5 out of 10 times) a "Couldn't verify device: Can't get info" Error at 50%. There are rare instances when it goes beyond 50% and stops at 99% it will give me the following error (please see attachments).
I've tried everything from:
1. Re-linking my account in "Mi Unlock Status"
2. Removing fingerprints and lockscreen
3. Running unlock tool with admin rights
Could this be because I may have disabled some background apps or some of the apps I installed? I did leave Mi Cloud and Mi Account Sync on along with Find my device. If yes, then would a factory reset solve this problem?
I don't know what to do anymore :crying: . If anybody could help that would be greatly appreciated
Xiaomi sucks i had the same problem i got my phone 1 month earlier and everytime i tried to unlock they doubled the wqiting time in total im gettingv2 months of waiting and still im not sure after thzt, they will not add more time. They ducks with their unlock process, we want it to unlock this **** why making it complicated ? Chinese bastards

Download an earlier version of the unlock tool from here and try unlocking with the earlier version https://c.mi.com/thread-2262302-1-0.html
Some people have reported that using an older version works in these cases.
Use the miflash_unlock-en-2.3.803.10 version, it'll work!

You probably need to use a VPN service. I had similar problem with my MIX 2 and I had used Plex VPN and then only could unlock bootloader
Thank you to everybody who gave advice. It was weird, since what I did was:
1. Logged into the Mi Cloud website with my Mi Account
2. Checked if my phone was online
3. Tried the Find Me option, and was able to locate it (scary stuff and one of the reasons why I'm unlocking my bootloader)
4. Left it for a day and when I tried to unlock the following day, I was able to unlock it immediately
Seriously, the unlocking process of Xiaomi phones is a bit tedious and varied.

I will agree on the tedious unlocking process. The last phone I will buy from them will be the Android One ones (A1/A2/A3). I had a fuss-free experience with my A1.
Hi!
I can't seem to unlock my device despite 2 times waiting 10 days after activating my account. It gets stuck at couldn't verify device when using the Mi unlock tool. Any ideas?`
- I've already tried installing and reinstalling usb and adb drivers multiple times.
- I've tried on different PCs.
- I've tried different USB outlets.
- I've tried different Mi Flash Unlock Tools, old and new.
What could be the problem here?
is your phone listed on the xiaomi website under your account?
If ur system is amd try using intel this worked for me (I didn't unlock the device I still have to wait couple of days but atleast I could pass the verify step using intel, amd is always stuck at 50/99%)

Hello, in need of some help.
I am having a great deal of difficulty in unlocking the bootloader on my Xiaomi redmi 9. I've completed all of the steps that Xiaomi ask customers to do and that any expert I've seen on YouTube doing. But after two weeks I still can't even get to the dreaded wait two weeks to unlock stage, if I could then I'd be a happy man!
I've got developer options sorted, turned on oem and debugging, linked my account to the mi unlock in developer settings, device found and on. Also updated drivers on my windows 10 laptop, signed in to my account on the mi unlock program, set phone in fastboot and then the unlock program verifies my device, but at 100% it keeps on giving me the same response ( please add your account in miui's settings-developer options-mi unlock status) which is crazy because I've completed all of the required steps and then some more steps to try and get past this can't unlock message. Also tried older versions of the unlock tool, but no luck.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated, or a direction to go in to help me unlock the phone. I've contacted mi customer service for help, but they keep sending me the steps that I should follow to get unlock status and I've tried this a thousand times!
Bootloader unlocking guid/ Binding Account
First signout mi account,
Then reboot phone,
Then open developer option and click on
mi unlocked status
Then add your account here,
Now it's successfully binded
Then rest of the process do with laptop or computer
Hi, thanks for responding. I've just tried that and unfortunately it's the same outcome, 'couldn't unlock'

same here was happy about the price 101€ only but now i will return it too... i don´t want to have a phone without root

I had the same problem as you described.
Today, I did log off my MUI account from the phone settings and logged in again.
I started "mi unlock status" under development settings and added my phone.
Booted into fastmode and started the mi unlock program and got the message "please wait 168 hours ..."
In the past, I did always receive the message "add your account in mi unlock status"
I'm not sure, what did the trick:
logoff and login or just had to wait, that xiaomi fixed their unlock process.
Hopefully, I will get the phone unlocked in a week.
*fingers crossed*
I received information from the technical support that only one phone number must be active on the smartphone, the one assigned to the account. Secondly, if it still does not work, try several times until it shows the time to unlock.
It worked for me.
successfull unlock

Hello, thanks for your info on the 168 hrs wait. I went back on and tried again and got the 168 hrs wait too. I messed it up the first week and must have signed out, so I had to wait another week. Anyway unlocked now, but I'm having just as much of a problem trying to flash twrp to my phone. In command prompt every downloaded file I've tried and used won't recognise the prompts, can't get past the prompt fastboot devices or ADB devices! So can't find my phone to enable flashing twrp across and in turn I can't root my phone! It's driving me nuts.
Usb debugging on
Ptp selected
Windows drivers find my phone
But still having problems when trying to use command prompt in platform tools ?
lock
How can I lock it again ?
i have waited 168 hrs now its telling to wait 168 hr again...what can i do
the answer is,you have to wait,or contact xiaomi,lol.
