your problems, same as mine. Have tried everything. But no luck. Hope somebody help us. Maybe a tricks to unofficially unlock BL
Hello guys, I know there is a LOT of these threads complaining about bootloader unlocking, but I have tried everything that is available on the internet and not being successful. So I have been trying for around months to unlock the bootloader on my mi5 phone. I asked for permission and it was given the next day. After I have the permission, I:
Enabed developer mode
Enabled oem unlock
Enabled usb debugging
I used the old MiFlashUnlock_1.1.0317.1_en, the unlocking process stop at 50%, it tells me to update the unlocker tool, then I decided to download the newest miunlock 2.3.803.10, now I succesfully verify my device and go up to 99% but this time it tells me "Current account is not bound to the device" and ask me to go to Developer Options > Mi Unlock Status. Then I go to "Mi Unlock Status" and it says "Couldn't verify, wait one minute or two and try again". Another error.
Things I have tried:
Tried global stable rom
Tried global developer rom
Wait few more days (even months)
Tried VPN to china
I have tried literally everything, what do I do now? I read somewhere people say you dont need to bother about the "mi unlock status" just keep trying till you succeed.

Probably a stupid question, but after going to the developer options -> Mi Unlock status, have you entered your email address and password that you used to ask for unlock permissions?
It is some time ago i have done this, but you need to connect your account (email and password it was, i think) on that page, and after that you can use the PC program to unlock and there also use the same account settings.

After I click the "Add account and device" button, it just directly says "Couldn't verify, wait one minute or two and try again". No chances to enter the account details. But actually I have already entered my mi account at the accounts section in setting. Thank you for trying to help
I am also facing exact same issue on my Redmi 5a (riva). Please let me know if you were able to find any solution
anyone fixed this problem?
Anyone can solved this problem
exact same issue here on Redmi Note 4X -
Can't bind the account to device in Developer Options/Mi Unlock.
Error: "Couldn't verify, wait one minute or two and try again"
Is there anything that could block the connection to Xiaomi servers?
Please check (software) firewall, anti virus and router settings. Also try alternative DNS such as Google DNS or Quad9.
Hello, i wanted to unlock my xiaomi redmi 8's bootloader because i wanna install root on it. I completely understand the risks and im willing to unlock it. I don't care if it takes months for xiaomi to approve my mi account. So, when i tried logging in into mi unlock tool with my mi account, first thing i noticed is that its quite slow. Anyway i entered my details when i was at the account login page, and then a few seconds later the page turned white. At first i thought it was just simply loading however after i checked the logs, i see this message: WARNING: account loading error: -188. Ive done some research why it isnt working. They suggested that i should disable my antivirus and run the tool with administrator priviliges. However that didnt help either. Ive also noticed that after i clicked add account and device in mi unlock state, (i enabled mobile data and turned off wifi) it said my mi account had been added. However when i exit out of mi unlock state and go back it says to add my account again. I dont know if thats intentional or not. If somebody can help me i'd gladly appreciate it.
if youve failed unlocking it, your phone is still safely under guarantee, have no fear (IMHO)
i remembered ~2Y ago when i tried unlocking it i was also sent in a loop. i followed the usual guides and all and was also reverified on my phone and PC again. sometimes the mi server can be buggy, and we had to wait for a bit.
make sure your phones SIM 1 (in the middle) has both SMS and data kuota available, as thats how they verify your device and account. IIRC 1 SMS to their servers, and 1 verification data from network to your phone.
I haven't gotten to unlock my device yet. So far i'm at the logging in into mi unlock tool stage. And also yes, i have all of those things that you mentioned.
yep it looks like youre stumped after waiting a day. for references, which guide are you following? does windows and ADB|fastboot detect your phone and driver?
usually an account is verified after a few days when creating a new xiaomi account, and 1 week after using the phone.
from what i remembered that most guides dont state is that my friend told me to locate my device first via i.mi.com first. after locating the device in normal system mode, follow the usual steps. as i said i too remembered how buggy mi unlock can be. hopefully others can also chime in.
my mi unlock tools an ancient 4.5.514.47, newer versions should be preferred for security|bugfixes, but im just saying i unlocked it with that version in case it might help.
Yes mi unlock tool detects my device in fastboot mode. I'm following a tutorial on youtube.
Good news, i managed to unlock and root my phone! I guess i was just lucky because i tried logging from day to day and i finally got it to work.
Hi a while ago i unlocked my boot loader and after a long time not using the phone i locked the boot loader,,im trying to unlocvk again using same account andit keeps saying account not authorised. even though im using same account.??
i also logged into mi website to post there and as soon a click post it says banned from posting??
is there anything right about xiaomi that just works??
How do i get over this hurdle of unlocking boot loader again?
Regards
I guess You have to apply again for unlock with MiFlash_Unlock tool and wait 168 hours. If this account is bugged you can try a new account. As far as i know this is the only method to unlock bootloader on xiaomi phones.
so i deleted account and recreated new account with same number now it says please add your account to miui settings > developer settings >mi unlock status...which i have done and it says successfully added but every time i go to unlock keeps saying the same above thing to add to your account....
Are you using latest version Mi Unlock ?
Try uninstall/reinstall Mi unlock tool.

Yes I have tried that. Still no go. What happened was I locked boot loader which then gave me destroyed system error. I got someone to reinstall latest Chinese rom. Phone is all working now but this is the issue I am having. Keeps saying add account to device as mentioned above.

That's a strange issue. I've never had problems unlocking the bootloader of my Xiaomi phones.
Try remove your Mi account (in settings) , reboot , then log in again . Then add back the account in developer setting.
And try run as administrator option , when opening Mi unlock app.

once you added the new account dont add it anymore because you are resetting the 168 hours timer. i think you just have to wait 7 days and try to unlock with the mi unlock tool

You can try a factory reset. It may fix the problem.

Tried that too and reinstalled the rom from scratch. Still same issue. I have a feeling it’s my old number and email associated to that account that might be causing the issue as it’s been used before to unlock boot loader? but tomorrow new email new number. Let’s see. Will update.
Regards.
If you have deleted the old account before creating a new one it should not cause a problem. But yeah delete all accounts connected to this phone number and make a new account with a different email. Good luck buddy! Tell us what happened after that
so made new account with gmail and new number and followed these steps and downloaded unlock tool from here and it all worked finally, now it says wait 168 hours
downloaded unlock tool from https://en.miui.com/unlock/download_en.html
and updated it,
followed these instructions and used us as region when creating account but used uk number
one thing i did was make an account via email first on the website and set region to us, once account was created i logged in at the website and added recovery number through there, then logged in to xiaomi account oh phone and it showed up.
Make a Mi account through Google and set the region to US - it's important to set the region to US... EU gave me the rebind error
Add the Mi account to your phone (settings -> Mi Account)
Set the recovery phone on your Mi account and verify the phone number.
Make sure you have OEM Unlocking and USB Debugging enabled
Go to Mi Unlock status -> add account (make sure you're on data)
In your PC download the latest Mi Unlock Tool (click on the gear icon and check for updates + download if there are any)
In the same gear menu check for USB Drivers and install them
Log into the same Mi account in the Unlock tool
Enter Fastboot on your phone
Unlock (it may prompt you to wait 168 hours, but after that you should be able to unlock)
patiently awaiting now

Well I was this close to selling the thing if this last step didn’t work. But now will install eu rom as that’s what I had before and it worked good.
Only reason I changed to iPhone was it worked better with my Audi as the direction part on google maps on android auto took up quite a fair bit of the screen which was annoying.
Still does but worked out how to change it from the right side of the screen to the left which is a tad better I guess.

Hi Guys
a little update
as I am waiting for the days to countdown to unlock bootloader, I decided to go to work on the current miui14 Chinese rom, I deleted all the installed Chinese apps all the bloatware completely, activated google play services, installed play store, installed all my current apps, duplicated this phone and the home screen layout exactly to my iPhone set up, logged into my cards and banking apps without any issues, installed vanced YouTube and premium Spotify and as well as a couple no longer available apps.. set everything to English, deleted baidu and mifly keyboard installed google keyboard, and its exactly like how I would have it as if the boot loader was unlocked with a eu.rom.
now if I can get all this without unlocking bootloader all through a Chinese rom, why would i want to go through the headache of unlocking the bootloader to install a eu rom which is based on this very Chinese rom I believe?
can anyone suggest any reasons as to why anyone would go through the bootloader headache, unless I forgot something that i do that i haven't done via this route that might pop to mind later.
Regards
AF

I didnt like the Chinese rom because:
1)the search engine (when you swipe up on home screen) is chinese and u cant change it.
2)"Ok Google" voice command was not working (or was buggy) if i remember correctly.
3) There were some other things that were coming up in chinese but i dont remember exactly what.
4) Many apps were not working in the background and i was not receiving notifications even when i locked those apps, put them on "no restriction" and enabled "auto start".
5) I saw many good bonus features that the EliteRom has (gets updates every 1 or 2 weeks, based on xiaomi.eu weekly) and decided to try it. So far i really like it!
But if you are okay with the Chinese ROM, u can stick with it

Make sure you use the app provided in link in my original post as after using a new email and new number I downloaded the unlock app from that link as the one I was using before had a different layout and kept giving that darn issue.
