Hello everyone,
I have a Mi8 Chinese version with unlocked bootloader and global ROM installed by the seller.
I also have a Mi account with bootloader unlock permission.
I was wondering, can I use my account to unlock bootloader again in case I accidentally brick my phone.
You need to associate your Mi account to your phone, which is probably currently associated to the seller's account. After that you will be able to unlock the phone by yourself and un-brick the phone in case it is needed.
hi guys
unfortunately i forget my mi account password and security questions so how i do? i still have a number and my mail but i cannot recovery it.
how should i mailing to global center?
any one can help me to bypass? or remove it? or UBL to flash custom roms?
tank you
I have one K20 PRO, when i turn on show "the system has been destroyed", this message show after flashed one global rom with box "flash all and lock" checked.
The bootloader is locked, and i tried flash stock rom on EDL Mode with MI Flash but i dont have one authorized account.
Help me please.

I guess you should try unlocking the Bootloader again...It takes couple of days though. With the Corona virus being a thing in China it might take you a century to get a response, that is, if you ever receive one.

If the phone is bound to your own Mi account and you had already unlocked the bootloader yourself before, then you should be able to unlock the bootloader again, then flash an official ROM WITHOUT locking the bootloader.
If you bought the phone with the bootloader unlocked and you've never bound it to your own Mi account, then EDL flashing with an authorised account is the only way. The problem lately is that people are now finding it hard to find someone with an authorised account to do the EDL flash. If you live somewhere near an authorised Xiaomi service centre, then you could plead with them to flash it.

If you login to your Mi account on a PC, is the phone listed in your devices?

if u didnt bind your account for bootloader unlock in developer options u can forget about unlock bootloader. U have only mi account on your phone but u didnt bind device with your account for unlock, so only solution is to find someone to flash in edl for u.
if you relocked your bootloader, can't you just reunlock it?? what mi unlock tool says?

i know u can't see now but u need to do that step if want to unlock bootloader otherwise only options is edl. so don't expect miracle, search someone with edl authorized account, disassembly back cover of phone, do test point and flash over edl.
Or simply go to service centar. no other options left.

Well, you f*cked up. Why did you even bother to play with it in first place? Was this worth it?

I've been looking for someone with an authorized account for days, i live in Brazil
I bought MI 8 device when it released from a reseller here in my country where I am residing and it was a Chinese variant of the phone that was preinstalled with Global MIUI Rom which came unlocked (It shows Unlocked when the phone boots up).
Since my phone came Unlocked, it has to be linked with the resellers Mi account. I want to relock the bootloader and then unlock it again using my own MI account without getting the phone bricked.
This way in case I ever get bricked while installing custom ROMS i can fix it with my MI account itself.
How can I make my device Link to my account for Unlock? Is there any process where I can Lock it again and then Unlock it with my MI account? Currently in MI account under settings, I can see that my phone is listed but then I am not sure if I have the right to Unlock or Lock the phone with my account as it could be linked to another account for that.
Answers will be greatly appreciated.
No one??
Ping!
Hello
I bought a used Mi 11 with locked bootloader. The owner of this Mi 11 has forgotten the Passwort from his Mi Account. So we cant unlock it with the Mi Tool. Is there a opportunity to unlock the device? Or perhaps to flash the reinstall the Rom and erase all user data?
Thanks

If he has only "forgotten" his password and if you are always in contact both, there a option for retrieve/reset actual password like all customer account.
But if you can't log/connect your Mi 11 with a legit Mi account there any way to unlock your bootloader.
Don't wipe your device also because at the first boot Xiaomi asking Mi account for using / unlock the device (linked account)
The seller has no data from the Mi Account for me. In this case,theres is no way to unlock the bootloader?

It's not the question, data or not data, you must log Mi account with the owner Mi account linked to this device.
Xiaomi want a proof you are the owner, device is not stealed.
So ask him to reset the password
Like @Pho3nX said if the previous owner had a mi account it is very easy to change password or phone number associated to the phone, you just need to go to the web browser and reset your account password, they will send you a temporary code to the phone number associated to the phone. If you dont have the number you can associate another number and reset the password. If the device of legit and not Stolen it should work just fine, I have changed my mi account password in the past having my device locked after getting rid of some stock apps, but it is very easy to recover that password.
