hello everybody!
i bricked my Mi 8 like other thousands of users flashing global rom since chinese rom (i selected "clean all and lock" by accident).
I have been searching for a solution for weeks now but it seems that the only way is to get an authorized account to be able to bring back to life our devices.
It is redicolous that we have to pay to unlock our phones, anyway, i am searching for people with the same problem to buy multiple accounts for cheaper.
any answeres are much appreciated.
thank you in advance!
Forget that sh*t. Write this guy and ask him to help you. He has already helped more than 400 people I think and he's doing exactly the same than s-unlock bast*rds but for free, just to help. Honestly I think he deserves a donation if he helps you (like I donated when he helped me) but he will never tell you nothing about it. I truly admire him. @NikSalsa

You really have to. EDL cable doesn't work. By the way it looks like the guy I quoted in my previous post has set a web to charge for the service, sad. You can write him anyway and see what he answers.

yeah i contacted him and he sent me the link of the website, he basically provides the same service like s-unlock.com, just for cheaper, about 16 euros. I will go for that, it is the only solution.
thank you so much!
The difference is that EDL authorization doesn't require to open the phone.

Of course, yes, i'm brazilian.
You need to open your cellphone and do the TESTPOINT for enable the COM PORT on your computer, the EDL mode. The next move is to flash with Miflash program and will ask you the ID verification, this ID only developers guys have.
But, they charge a value to do this service, which is to only authenticate on your computer, I have the contact of it if you want I can pass you, is a Brazilian.
I paid R$90,00BRL
Po thank you very much, I'll see him then, I managed to open and did EDL mode but my account does not have access, I'll talk to him

I am just as suffering from being fooled into purchasing a locked smartphone. But, I received a lot of help on this forum. I thank everyone. Mostly thanks to @NikSalsa MOD EDIT:link removed for the attention and support :Boa:. I believe one of the goals of this forum is to promote help, solutions and problem solving. And in this way fraternal actions arise. Something rare today. About services charged I think fair, as well as donation that I will make for sure. I hope that the willingness to help and recognize the help will not be extinguished.

Hey, I had the problem that my Mi8 China version with Global ROM was brick. After spending hours trying to test some of the possibilities and guesses of others. Unfortunately they all ended without success.
So i have addressed MOD EDIT: link removed under Telegeram. If necessary it is also reachable via Whatsapp under MOD EDIT: number removed.
He has explained with the steps what I need everything and after everything was downloaded it takes barely 5 minutes and my Mi8 started again.
Of course you can try all the instructions online or contact @remote_repair98 very fast.
Hey i have the same problem but not same device mine is redmi note 7 lavender but i lost my account password and i can't recover it so i opened the phone and tried flashing it vie EDL test points but iis say the edl auth error can you gelp me pls
On Mi 8 if your fastboot is still available, try issuing 'fastboot oem edl'.
This reboots my unlocked Mi8 into EDL mode without opening the back.
Tool https://github.com/bkerler/edl (thanks to Bjorn) has edl programmer included that doesnt require auth for this phone (poco loader in matched automatically) and allows for programming cmds.
You can either use this QDL or QFIL to download required firmware. Only stock firmware will boot if bootloader in locked.
Perhaps this will help someone.

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?

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?
Hello Xiaomi Community,
I've been trying all day to unlock the bootloader of my 11T (not to be confused with the "Mi 11") but without success... Developer options are active, OEM and USB debugging are enabled. However, I noticed that after I connected the account and device and closed the settings, the Mi unlock device keeps resetting. That is, when I reopen the developer options, it looks like I never connected my account and device.
Is this normal or is this the fault and what can be done?
Have it with various tools (Win10: xiaomi-bootloader-tool; Mediatek-unlock-tool, XiaoMiTool V2, MiFlash Tool) and (Linux: Xiaomi ADB&Fastboot Tools, ADB&Fastboot) tried, but after rebooting the smartphones it is still locked
I also went through a lot of tutorials step-by-step but it doesn't want to.
Am I making a mistake or is this possibly a bug in the system or something?
P.S. processor is a rather rare MediaTek here.
Hopefully someone can help I am grateful for every answer..

The Waiting Time, that you describe, is the Problem. Da liegt der Hase im Pfeffer, we say in german
I have done the preparatory work more often then i can count... It seems like the Time is resetting itself automatically again and again :/ this sucks..
In certain parts Xiaomi is a absolutely catastrophe.. in comparison with, for example, Huawei.

No it won't. It will show you the time left to unlock. The only thing that will reset the counter is readding the mi account in dev settings. And that's exactly what OP did trying to unlock over and over again each time it failed ignoring the 168 hours waiting time. Judging from his description.
Removing/replacing the sim card is also a bad idea during the waiting time as it is tied to your Mi account.
You just need to add the unlock account in dev options and wait.
I have a Redmi note 10 5g which I performed a factory reset - it booted back to the mi account screen and asked for password - the password was forgotten and the phone number is not accessible anymore because the sim is lost.
I have gone to the xiaomi site and submitted a request for a code with the information they asked for , but after 3 days have not received a SMS or any other contact from them.
the phone displays the unlocked symbol on boot
I can get the phone to fastboot and connect to windows computer running MiFlash and it will see the phone
can I just flash a 3rd party ROM with MiFlash and bypass/delete all the xiaomi account nonsense ?
or what are my options as a way forward to get this phone to a usable state ?
I have been reading the forums and lots of people seem to have had similar problems with their mi account but I have not seen a definitive solution posted that seems correct or else there is a lot of steps etc that seem to be jumbled or not explained neatly.
thanks for any help

You need to remove the Mi Lock via a paid server
by unlocking code (Offical remove)
ok - where do I find these paid server and how much do they cost ?

If you restore the SIM card
Easily your device can be unlocked
I managed to get the phone number back from the telco and activated the phone
with the SIM card , I inserted into another phone and went to the xiaomi site , used the phone number and said I had lost the password - they sent me a confirmation code via SMS which then allowed me to change the password and then activate the phone with that password.
I started up the phone and went to settings -> Xiaomi account which showed that account was signed in on the phone
then I signed out of the account
this whole exercise has been a bit of an eye opener and makes me want to get a ASOP ROM onto the xiaomi phone as soon as possible - they make nice hardware for the prices , but this OS and the seeming need to access your data is a bad problem
many countries in the world have people who need to watch every bit of data their phone uses because of the cost , but so many of these companies have no qualms about just using a lot of it for their own gain - it is just immoral

Yes, since you have an unlocked bootloader and fastboot, you should be able to flash a 3rd party ROM.

or what are my options as a way forward to get this phone to a usable state ?
I have been reading the forums and lots of people seem to have had similar problems with their mi account but I have not seen a definitive solution posted that seems correct or else there is a lot of steps etc that seem to be jumbled or not explained neatly.
thanks for any help

Hello XDA friends, I have a problem regarding an MI account with a redmi note 11 (spes)...
It turns out that the phone belongs to a client (I'm a technician) and he asked me to recover his phone, the problem is that it is linked to a number that he lost in another country (Colombia) and well, I tried to flash and do a hard reset to your phone but it has the bootloader locked, and it turns out that to unlock it you also need the MI account, the most I can do is remove the account temporarily, but when you connect it to the internet again it links to the Xiaomi servers and it appears again which is blocked.
I can use the phone by ADB, Fastboot and Sideload mode without problem (although most limited commands), I tried to also flash the phone by EDL mode but I can't find the patched firehose.
Does anyone have an idea on how to delete or add a new account without having to connect the phone to the internet? As I told you, I can use the phone normally, only when I connect it to the internet, the blocked message appears in a matter of seconds or a minute , I don't have paid boxes or anything like that, I only use free stuff to work.
I would appreciate any hint or help, sorry for the English but I am using a translator, thank you very much!

I understand that you have to wait 7 days, the problem is that I can't wait that long since my client is not going to like it, so I don't know if there is a way to link the MI account to his new phone number in another way

You can try resetting the device by miui recovery or try using mi assistant if it works.

Thanks for the help guys, but I've tried everything you've mentioned and I can't find the free firehose file anywhere either.
After many days of trying to remove the MI account, I have managed to at least suspend it and be able to use the phone without the annoying advertisement, for those who are interested in this information is gold:
1. Go to this video and download the tool: Edited by request of an administrator, {Mod edit. Oswald Boelcke, Senior Moderator}
2. Format the phone by sideload or any other method within your reach.
3. Open the tool, connect the phone in sideload mode and then select the Qualcomm tab, Xiaomi brand and the model of our beloved Redmi Note 11 (spes) and finally press the option "Disable Mi Cloud (sideload)" and that's it, the phone will be rebooted and the phone locked ad will never appear.
Note: By doing this process, you will never be able to link an MI account, since apparently the program changes the address of the Xiaomi servers, but the phone will work 100%.
Bonus: If you happen to want to use the phone temporarily, you can use this tool to disable the lock, but when you connect it to the internet it will lock again, good luck guys!

As I understand it, the mail is unknown and his phone number was lost.
In this part of the world where I live, these jobs are common, since they are ignorant people who do not know much about technology, so that they understand me, "farmers". And no, the phone is not stolen because it has the box with its IMEI.

For me the best solution would have been to pay someone with an authorized account, flash by EDL, enter a new MI account and unlock the bootloader.
It turns out that the redmi note 11 does not have a recovery partition and since the bootloader is unlocked, the blocking of the MI account is irrelevant, it disappears with each rom flash

Yes, obviously I know that paying someone with an authorized account solves the problem in the blink of an eye, but the idea is not to spend a dollar just using free stuff.
In the same way, if someone needs the box, they can write to me privately since nothing can be mentioned about it by the rules, yes, I recommend using an old PC that does not mind losing information or something like that since the executable is apparently malicious .
