how to solve the 86006 error during unlock?

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.

Questions about new Mi9 360-hour bootloader unlock wait

Bought a new global 6gb/128 Mi9, it arrived yesterday.
Tried to unlock the bootloader and after doing everything the unlock tool wanted, I was presented with the 360 hour wait.
I've looked over the forums and couldn't really find much information about this, except the following:
Do not sign out of the Xiaomi account on the phone.
Do not reset/wipe/update the Mi9 or it resets the counter
I was thinking of leaving it in the closet for 15 days until I can unlock it, since unlocking wipes the phone.
However, I saw in another thread that there appears to be another check about "using the phone for the number of required hours."
What do I have to do to pass this check?

Yes you need to use or turn on your phone for specified hours (i dont know exactly). Waiting 360 hours is not enough if you just binded mi unlock then leave your phone off. Fortunately you can bypass the usage requirement by using older mi flash unlock. I'm using ver 3.xx and still cant unlock after 360h. I said i need to use my phone more and wait another ****in days. Then I use mi flash unlock ver 2.xx and unlocked successfully.
I guess miui tried to make this unlock process become more difficult so they can still making money by ads

Thanks for the information.
I found version 2.3.803.10 here, is that the version you used to avoid the "time used" limitation?
xiaomifirmware dot com/downloads/download-mi-unlock-2-3-803-10

Hello all
I will receive mine those days, from Netherlands (And I leave in France)
SO I assume I will have the EE version, not the global ? How can I make sure of it and download the right xiaomi.eu ROM ?
The goal for me is unlocking the bootloader, wait the 360 hours, unlock and wipe all, flash twrp, and finally flash the latest xiaomi.eu ROM, cause it seems awesome compared to the stock one.

Take a look at the timestamp for both posts. Cheers.

Don't need to, all the best.

Got my phone 6 days ago and need to wait a bit less than 24 hours now. Guess I got lucky.

In my case it said 360 hours, but I checked maybe 6 or 7 days later and it said 1 hour remaining. I was able to unlock the hour after. So maybe just keep an eye on it. I used the phone as my daily driver though.

URGH - wait for unlock AGAIN and AGAIN...

Background:
- I have had this Xiaomi account for many years and have used it successfully to unlock BLs on 5+ devices
Problem:
- I waited 168 hours to unlock - > error -> please wait additional 240 hours
- I waited 240 hours to unlock - > error -> please wait additional 240 hours
168 + 240 + 240 + ... :crying:
Has anyone else had this issue? What did you do to resolve it?

Following up here.

Yes I've seen others have this problem, as far as I know the only solution that worked was to wait. They tried creating a new Mi account to use for unlocking, but I guess the unlock server validation recognised they was trying to get around the wait period and it still give them the same long wait time on the new account.
I believe this happens if Xiaomi believe you are a reseller installing unofficial ROMs. Have you unlocked many phones recently, within the last couple of months or so? For some reason their algorithm that determines these things must have flagged your account.

Thanks for your advice. In response to your question, the last device I unlocked was a RN5p about 18 months ago.

I read somewhere in the forum that you have to use the phone in order to get it unlocked. Not sure but have you been using the phone regularly while waiting for the unlock?

Yep that's true. I had that problem with my second phone. (Redmi note 7)
I tried to unlock and it said 168 hours. So I turned it off and waited. After 168 hours I got again some hours!
With latest unlock tool you also get the message that your phone needs to be connected and you need to use it actively. But I didn't knew that before. With my Mi 9T Pro i did it like that and voila no issues with unlocking.

Yes, after waiting for the first "timer", still asking new estimate, I login with another account. Always works for me.

Hi Yes.
With me already happened on 2 devices, I waited for the initial time for the unlock and with a few hours left to finish the time I tried and received a new time count (average of 50% of the initial time).
I logged into the device with another xiaomi account and logged out, just this. I logged back in with the initial unlock request account and then tried the unlock and it worked.
I imagine that signing in with another account should start some synchronization process between the device and the account and with that update ....
PS. Be careful, and use only a trusted xiaomi account, as in the event of an error, your device may get stuck with bootloader locked in an unknown account.
Have nice!

Unlock Xiaomi redmi 9

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'

are you using Redmi 9 with NFC version ?

Hello, yes it has NFC, I've just checked

yes its version problem, there was a lot of people reporting can't unlock bootloader for redmi 9 NFC version
for more detail maybe you can check post in this here with title 'Redmi 9 Root'

Thanks for the help. So I've bought a phone to root and it looks like I've bought the only one in the world that you can't even unlock the bootloader on ??*. I wondered why I couldn't find any more information. The phone is still under a month old, I might see if I can return it, ffs!

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.

Question unlocking wait period

hello
currently i'm in the wait for the bootloader of my mi 11 to unlock. I did all the process and i'm waiting for the 168 hours to end.
I wonder if i can know how many hours are left and if it's a yes then how.
thank you

No you can't, it's basicaly the same hours of the same day... the next week. So the better advise was to check the clock when you have click for the "Unlock" on Mi Unlock.
If you have a doubt, just be sure to do not want unlock before the remaining time, so flash the same day next week near midnight and you will be sure.

update: i just checked how many hours left and it worked and showed me the remaining hours!
just connect your mi account in the mi unlock tool and then put your phone in fastboot mode and connect it to the pc then the mi unlock tool will detect you phone and press unlock and it will show you how many hours left

Unlocking bootloader is more simple on any other brand. i think that was my last xiaomi. trying to unlock bootloader for 3 weeks now. Every single time showing: wait for 168 hours.

Really ? :
- Samsung = You lose Knox forever even if you restore / unroot your device
- Huawei = Unlock Bootloader is not permit from 4 years now...
Xiaomi = Just use Mi Unlock with his Xiaomi account logged, asking for unlock and wait 169 hours...

Xiaomi is not responsible for that... You must wait 169 hours like all people want unlock their Redmi/Xiomi devices.
If you have errors, errors are located between you, your phone and your computer.

This is my 4th time to wait 168 hours. Everytime I waited 8 days just to be sure. Always coming error, followed by wait 168 hours.
