Just create your own MI account an request for unlock permissions.
Should work without much problems.

You can't, since every mi Phone bind it's imei to previous account on that device.

Then you would never be able to sell the phone to another person, since you had to give your own mi account to that buyer.
Sorry but i can't believe that.
If it is, it is stupid and should be changed.

Try signing out from the previous account
I was able to change from one MiUi account to another by first signing out from one MiUi account. I think on the device it says "un-register device on account" or similar. So you could try installing the previous de-bloated rom and try to unregister the device while booted into the rom, and then install new Rom.

just sign out mi account binded to that phone and sell it, i answered he can't because he bought mi 5 in china so how he found previous owner ?. there is only 2 solutions : 1. use any rom except miui 2. using dongle box to remove mi account that binded to that phone..

I have same problem, what I have to do? how to remove binding?

you can bypass activation state with any xiaomi account bypass support box or dongle.
I recommended MRT Dongle or BST Dongle.
if your device is bootloader unlocked , try flash custom recovery and remove /system/app/finddevice/FindDevice.apk via recovery
-1 . /system/app/finddevice.apk
-2./system/app/Cloud.apk

Used Mi 5

If I were to buy a used Mi5 and I dont have the mi account that was originally used on the phone, can I unlock the bootloader?
As far as I know, the Mi Unlock tool only checks if the Mi Account you login to is the same as the one currently in use on the phone. It should work.
So if someone factory resets, no account used then I use a new account, all should be good?

Yeah, as long as that user removes the device from their Mi account, as you won't be able to sign in to any other one otherwise.
Yeah, I would make sure that user actually removes the device from their Mi account. Even when I use Miflash and install a new ROM via fastboot, I still get prompted to enter my Mi account password.

Locked Mi Account

Hey guys I just bought in China used Mi5,
Seller told me that i can't log in Mi account, so now I can't update my MIUI rom,
Miui version is 7.2.12.0 can someone tell me how to remove binding from old account and install clean Global Stable rom?
Download the version you want (i suggest the Global Developer version) and put it in the Download_rom map of the phone.
Then start the Update software, choose from menu for installing downloaded rom and choose the downloaded version.
After that, you can register online an own (new) MI account.
If the phone is still bootloader locked you can ask for unlock permissions on your new account.
If already unlocked, just connect you new MI account with the phone.
Last step can be done from the developer version in the developer menu.

I am not sure if i understand correctly, but the bootloader will not get locked just from the upgrade.
It can get locked by a full new install via the MI flash software (if you want that).
You can simply logout from the current Mi account, so the phone is not mapped to that old account.
Make a new Mi account if you don't have it, and login on the phone with that account.
If the phone is bootloader locked, wait 24 hours after login and then request unlock permissions.
But yours was already unlocked i thought.

Ok, then start by logging out the MI account.
You will not need a password for that, just go to settings and find the MI account and logout.

No I can't because now I have installed rom without Mi services, If I install global rom with Mi services my phone will be locked

If you have a MIUI without Mi account in the settings, then i think you have a custom rom and not the original China or Global rom.
If you follow my steps, then you will not lock the bootloader.
Download the Global Developer or the China Developer version and put in on the phone in the Download_rom directory.
Start the Update App.
Push on the 3 dots (menu) button on the top right.
Choose for 'Other rom' or something like that.
Choose the downloaded full version rom and choose install.
That will give you a developer version with the Mi account option and it will not lock your phone.
I think your device is bypassed Mi account lock for temporary .
device can lock after firmware update or factory data reset , please be careful
Redmi 3s
bootloader is unlocked in my device. i frequently shift between miui and stock rom. Once when i came back to miui rom from stock, everything came up, but i got a screen saying "mi account is locked" and it wants me to verify the account. So when i entered the password of the mi account, it says "cant verify, cant connect to internet". The thing is im not able to bypass that screen, without bypassing i cant use the phone nor cant enter any app.
Im using global developer rom.
Please help me.

how to clean MI account

excuse mi5 masters, i just bought mi5 (2nd hand) after i want to try unlock bootloader it can not because it is true that the phone is stolen and already in bypas by the seller, is there any way how to clean user account MI before it or how to unlock another bootloader for mi5 that I have bought this can be on tWRP ?? please help his master
AFAIK, only if you know the original owner's Mi account credentials, login with them, log out and only then wipe. At least that's how it went when I lent my girlfriend her Mi Max 2 after using it first for a couple of days before her, or as I did with a friend's Redmi Note 3 Pro. In both cases, I had to remove the link to the previous user's Mi Account by loging in and out with it. Even a full flash + wipe with MiFlash wouldn't do the trick. They just got stuck with my Mi Account (in the Mi Max 2 case) and my friend's account (the Redmi Note 3 case) without doing that. Good luck with that, I wish I could help any better.
then from that I am confused what to do because people who sell it to me already can not be in contact and I am sure that this phone is a stolen phone

dude just do a bit of research...there are several ways
i've found some things
the first is to flash the MIUI 7 firmware, reset and put a new miui account on the phone and then flashing back to miui 8 and using a new account, if you can't flash anything, just buy a DIY flash cable for mi5
just search "bypass mi account" on youtube, there are a lot of videos
Yes master, now my phone is in a state already bypas, which is the problem here i have back and forth from miui7 and 8 but the previous user MI can not be erased, still caught and finally I can not do UBL

Can i use same Mi account to unlock two devices?

As title suggests I want to know if I can use the same Mi account to unlock bootloader of Mi Max 2 as I used to unlock my redmi 3s last month. Plz reply...
I'm using the same Mi account In two devices.
I didn't need to ask for a permission again when i was unlocking my new Mi Max 2. Previously i had Redmi Note 4. Also, my sister bought the same Mi Max 2, and i used my account to unlock her bootloader. Later just deleted my account, and she created a new one for her. You can try it, you don't have anything to loose.

Thanks for brief reply. Tried to unlock mi max 2 last night with the same account in miUnlock tool and it asked me to wait for 72 hours. Hope I'll get it unlocked without any error.. *Finger crossed*
Yeah, you can unlock a device every 30 days if I remember correctly.
Bootloader successfully unlocked.
my situation is a bit different. I registered a mi account, bound the phone number for my Mi Mix to that account, applied for unlocking permission, waited 3 days then flashed the global rom to replace the China rom. No problem until I dropped and broke my Mi Mix. I have now purchased another new Mi Mix which has the China rom and I want to flash to global rom again. This new / replacement phone has the same phone number / sim card as the first phone. Do I sign in to my mi account on the new phone and apply for unlocking permission? Or should I set up a brand new mi account for the new phone. On the miui forums people are telling me I can unlock the new phone with my existing account but I would have to wait 30 days to unlock. Others on the miui forums are telling me to register a new account so I only have to wait 3 days. Any suggestions?

I'm a part of Miui Device Team and I'm curious who told you such a thing as waiting "30 days"? Maximum what could happen would be 360 hours, which is 15 days. Also, the waiting time for the permission is removed, so technically, you would now wait maybe a day or a two, maybe not even that. Don't create a new account unless you need to. Try applying for unlocking with the old account and see what happens.

Hi @craigrB , The unlock permission is binded with your MI account and can be used with any Xiaomi Devices that has a locked bootloader, Unfortunatly you will have to wait 30 days in order to unlock it using the same MI account.

And yes, I don't even know that flashing a stable ROM will reset the 30days count down, I just did it this morning, on my 20 day

From the 2nd device forward, we have to wait 30 days for each. After unlock my redmi note 5 pro, i have to wait 30 days more for unlocking my Max 2
absolutely no wait time/ or less even, if account is not changed to a new one. Problem occurs mostly if device wasnt bond to mi account at least 72 hours before the try, and that mistake sure has been giving many headaches. Now i have got myself in the crazy situation that a friend broke his device screen, has bought another, but some data wasnt sinchronized with cloud, and needs them. would be all fine and easy if it was bind to a mi account, usb debugging is off, bootloader locked, oem unlock state close, I tried all known methods, no success. Maybe there is a workaround, but .... sure not an easy way, if there is. ADB commands - all out of discussion, fastboot with locked bootloader does not allow booting to twrp either. sideloading update still work in EDL mode, so i guess that could be the only way with an "update.zip" which patches all above mentioned settings to enabled, if posssible, i dont know how to create one . Device is Redmi note 9 Pro .
Not sure if this is the right forum, so i apologize ahead for the nuisance (first time here)
My question is: i have 2 devices connected to my Mi Account. If I unlock the other device, would it affect the other one? Or not for as long as I don't enable its oem unlock? Thank you.
