Hi,
I've just bought a secondhand Mi 9 (my original Mi 9 screen broke when I dropped it ), but when trying to unlock the bootloader, I get this message:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
which google tells me means the phone has been locked by account 157***980 'by looking for the phone and cannot be unlocked'.
I take this to mean that the phone was linked to the Mi account 157***980 by the original owner, and therefore can't be unlocked using the Mi Unlock software.
Is this right or is there any way around this? I'll have to return the phone to the ebay seller I bought it off (I don't think they were the original owner, so wouldn't be able to delink the phone).
Just to be clear, this isn't a question about circumventing the wait time to unlock - it's asking about the above situation.
Thanks in advance.
----------------
EDIT: It turned out that was my account - I seem to have two, one associated with my phone number, and one for my email address - trying for a third time sorted it out for me. Gah. Mods, please feel free to delete this thread as I don't think this question will be useful to others.

Note I haven't bought the phone yet. Planning to get it on Friday. I went to the unlock website and signed in by pressong on unlock. it immediately linked me to the download page. I have never requested before on this account. Granted I used to be a beta tester for the redmi note 1 and a forum moderator for the nexus 7 2013 edition.
Does this give me a free pass?
Curiously I signed in with my second account and it linked me to the request page.

You also need to have your account permitted to unlock bootloader to use the tool. Try opening the tool and you should see it asking you to login with your mi account

I apparently had a free pass. Just unlocked my mi 5 yesterday. It's on xiaomi.eu ROM now.
Hi,
I recieved my S21 Ultra yesterday and sucessfully rooted it using the guide/youtube tutorial.
Today, I restarted the device and upon restarting it would go into a bootloop with a small message on top saying:
'Custom binary blocked due to remaining installment balance'
After searching, there are sources saying that this is due to the device being on finance or not fully paid. But I have fully paid for the device.
I had to flash stock FW using ODIN and it would now boot up and is working fine,
But then I try to root again, but Odin will get stuck on OMR when flashing prism.img

The download mode would say something along the lines of:
custom binary(VBMETA) blocked due to remaining installment balance
Also in the developer options I do not see the OEM unlock option anymore, and doing the tutorial to show this is not working either.
Any help would be appriciated.

Hi,
I'm asking just to be sure
I have a Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro - retail (not from a carrier):

I want to root this device - with Magisk, I don't need TWRP, just Xposed/EdXposed Framework + modules.
I found this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-mi-10-10-pro-root-guide-for-miui-stable.4071553/
Is that the right way? And: sorry for my stupid question, but I'm a "Xiaomi-newbie" (Motorola was quick and easy - just get the code from the manufacturer website & go):
1) So, now what? Wait 7 days (I tapped allready "unlock" on the device) or connect right now with the unlock tool and do something?
2) Can I do "factory reset" after unlock the bootloader (to erase the MI-account - I don't need this)?
TIA
Now I know...
But the whole thing was conceived by a "genius".
Switch off Wi-Fi, activate data transfer - OK, then Fasboot mode and at the end enter the SMS code to log in to the account. So... receiving SMS in fastboot mode is a bit difficult. Really "genius"
Hello everyone, I just bought a 4xl pixel from VZ network because I don't have too much knowledge in this, so I would like to ask everyone how to unlock the bootloader of this model. OEM unlock part of My device is grayed out so I can't click it, please help

I'm sorry to say, but if it's a "Verizon" branded device, you can't unlock the bootloader since Big Red won't allow it.
You would have needed to purchase one directly from Google as is described in this thread. Sorry mate.
Good luck, there's almost no chance that it will happen but people continue trying:

Hello, people of the Xiaomi Mi 9.
I have owned this device for a while now and I have a problem that I would like to share with you.
A short time ago, I closed the phone's bootloader to make it like new... And it was a serious mistake.
I bought a new mobile and thought about using the old one as a backup.
This endorsement should have:
- Bootloader unlocked
- Root activated.
I must add that that device had a Mi account that belonged to me and I deleted it.
After doing that, and closing the bootloader, using the precious command of:
- fastboot oem unlock
Appears the next message:

I have tried to use the Mi Unlock software but when I enter my new Mi account and press the Unlock Now button, I get the following (What is covered was the ID of my old Mi account)
I have tried to insert my SIM card, add the new account, activate the OEM unlock option and try to unlock the bootloader using Fastboot... But I get what I indicated...
