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

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.

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.

Xiaomi Mi 8 lock state

Hi,
So I got just the Xiaomi Mi 8. The seller said they installed global rom thereselves and therefore I wanted to install the global rom from Xiaomi so I know I got a fresh rom with nothing added in the background.
So I used the Xiaomi Flash program and flashed it with Xiaomi Mi 8 Latest Global Stable Version Fastboot File.
Now it boots in recovery mode and says "This MIUI version can't be installed on this device".
I tried to reflash it with Xiaomi flash and it gives me an error " Erase is not allowed in Lock State".
So I tried to unlock via the Mi unlock account which tells me it can't because my account isn't signed in with the phone. Go into settings and sign in which I can't.
So I am a bit stuck here.
I read only people with special EDL accounts or Xiaomi service centers can fix this issue. Is that correct?
I live in Australia so there is no Xiaomi service center near me. I don't know anyone with a special EDL account.
What do I do from here now?
Thanks,

I am very sure you did "Flash and lock" because it is default option in Xiaomi Flash tool. Your only option is to send it to the seller for him to unlock it. Or maybe if you can boot to fastboot then you can get token from getvar command but I don't know what to do with it so you have to figure it out.

Yeah I did. How was I supposed to know though. The Xiaomi app tells you nothing of it. That's what I have usually selected in the past.
Seriously if this is the only way the fix it then Xiaomi just lost a long term customer. They need to warn their customers if they want to allow stores to have access to mess with the phones but no access to customers to repair that.

Unfortunately 2018 Miflash versions have default option set to flash and lock, not flash_all like before - so its easy to miss it and lock bl during flash.
You have bought chinese variant with unlocked bootloader by xiaomi dev account. Your only hope now is to... open the device, do a testpoint flash with chinese rom with Mi Account authorization and then unlock bootloader by your own Xiaomi account. Getting Mi account authorization is the hardest point here.

Due to such accidents, NEVER use any tool for this action. There are a bat file for Windows and sh file for Linux OS's included in the compressed file you've downloaded, you just need to run the desired one. It's completely closed to any accidents and you can delete those two files that will end you up with locked bootloader for further attempts.

Any idea where I can request mi account authorisation?
I followed one link to where people were asking on the miui forum but that thread is now locked...

That's the wrong place to ask for questions. It's for devs only. Request a mod to move it to the appropriate forum.

I got access to unlock Xiaomi phones as I had to unlock my Redmi phone some years back. Is that the same as mi authorised account? Maybe I am already authorised?

Did you bring your phone to the seller?

No. The seller is in Hong Kong. I'm in Melbourne Australia.
How can I actually check if I got an authorised account? I found a account auth in the Mi flash program and tried it and it just says my account is bind to this computer now. How useless is that? Isn't it meant to tell me if I got authorised status or not ??

actually Xiaomi is not in the fault here, as you purchase phone which intended for China, whereas you should buy the global version.
Xiaomi did due to lot of people buy chinese version and use global rom and sell it again as global version.
you supposed to search and know all risk before purchase phone which not sold officially in your country

I would say Xiaomi is at full fault. They know people flash Chinese phones to get away from all the spyware and crap that sellers put on to the phones.
People talking about bricked phones somewhere on the internet/forums does nothing to warn people. If Xiaomi knew they would brick people's phones this way then they should warn you in their MI flash program. It is just low and very disappointing as I really do like Xiaomi products but if they are just not going to support their customers or warn them basically not at all then like I said they basically lost a customer who won't be buying any of their products any more.
And what a bout all those people who bricked their phones as soon as the Xiaomi Mi 5 or which ever it was came out and there was no warning on the forums at all. Was it their fault as well?

So search the forums for people with Mi Authorised account or do you mean go to Indonesia...?
And how do I find out if my account is authorised? I think I might of authorised it some years ago but I don't know how to check.
When I tried the account_auth.exe and put my log in details in, it said verifying and then gave me this message:
" This Computer Is Bound To Your Account"
What does that mean?

like I said, why you buy chinese version in the first place? you can buy global version from country which Xiaomi sell Mi 8 officially (like India, Singapore or Malaysia). if you buy global version, you will have global rom out of the box and won't brick your phone in the first place.
if Chinese people want to flash global rom, they need to request unlock to Xiaomi which Xiaomi will explain what can bricked their phone.
actually Xiaomi never recommended their phone to be unlocked. you know when you want to modify any system which not officially supported by the manufacturer, all risk is on you right?
and Xiaomi is more friendly to enthusiast community compared to other OEM. only OnePlus and Google itself who I know is more friendly than Xiaomi.
but enough who is fault, as this already happen and you need to solve your bricked phone right?

what I mean is that you try to find people in that forum who have Mi Authorized Account and contact them. they can do two things, one is they lend their ID (but I think it's nearly impossible) and second is you send your phone to them and they will unlock it.
other than that you won't have others way and your phone will remain bricked

Fair enough.
Though I am sure my account is already authorised because I requested it on the Mi website maybe 2 years ago and the Mi flash app says I am "This Computer Is Bound To Your Account" which according to what I read online means my account is authorised.
If that is right, can I open the phone myself, unplug the battery, plug the USB in, connect the two test points and flash with Mi flash?
Thanks for your help.

You always can give it a shot, but if there are any Xiaomi shops in your country, the official thread says that you can hit them up for a help. Give it a try and see if you can get your phone rescued. I guess the only way to learn if your account is authorized is just trying.

from what I read, the binding to your computer doesn't mean your account is Authorized.
and what do you mean by request via Mi website? you mean you request to unlock your bootloader? if yes it's different, as I have account that can unlock bootloader but not Authorized Account.
Mi Authorized Account can flash rom without bootloader unlocked, whereas the one you request I think is permission to unlock bootloader, not bypass bootloader.
from MIUI forum, you need to check first. did you receive pass from sms or email? as stated below
It will ask for your authorization pass if your Mi Account is the authorized one. You might have received the pass via email or SMS on your registered mobile number. Otherwise, it will recall that your Mi Account is not authorized to flash the phone.

I am not sure. I did that about 2 years ago. I am sure it was on a website but I could be wrong as well.
I just followed this guide:
http://en.miui.com/thread-2820162-1-1.html
And i get the exact same as that last photo - My computer is now bound to this account, you can start.
I suppose if my account isn't authorised I will just have to pay one of those online websites to teamview my computer and use their account...
But I can send the phone back to the seller. They will charge me about $30 USD(could be more after they actually get it) and they told me they will send it to a Xiaomi Centre in China. What I want to know is will Xiaomi just do the same? Open it up, test point and flash it? If so I rather do it myself than wait months for it to return.
Thanks,

I'm going to give this a shot tomorrow. Does it matter what rom I use???
Is there a guide on how to do it properly for my practicular phone?

Edl account info

Hi guys, I will tell you my case.
Buy the Mi 9 6GB 128 GB cell phone from a Chinese store (Alie ...)
The phone is a Chinese version, the seller sent me the phone with the GLOBAL ROM, so it came with the bootloader unlocked.
Then I decided to stupidly block it.
Previously I had a mi note 3, Chinese version with global rom, I never read about the new policies of xiaomi, I read them already when I could not start my MI 9 haha, it is very sad.
The only solution I have given is to make a flash in EDL mode
The question here is that an authorized edl account is required, which I have searched for trust services (s-unlock, unbrick.ru, martview) and none has the service available at the moment, I have contacted 5 people via whatsapp of the which 2 tell me that if they can do the service and the other 3 that at the moment the service is not available like this, I realize that maybe it is a scam.
Please help me if anyone knows of any edl service

xiaomi china won't charge you for reinstall rom if it's on warranty
so you have to get Authorized account way only for fix this problem

Mi Cloud lock bypass

Hello everyone, I bought a Xiaomi Redmi 4A, but the seller haven't been using it for a long time so she forgot Mi Account login things and doesn't want to care about it. The phone wasn't locked and I wanted to do a factory reset, but it was protected by the Mi Account. I did the factory reset in recovery (stock) and then the phone was locked. I removed the FRP lock and used Miku Tool for Mi Account removal, but the account is removed only until I connect to the internet. What should I do to remove it permanently? Thanks lot.

Hi did you find solution sir im stuck with the same problem . I just registered to this forum today but im worried no answers are forthcoming here
