Just create your own MI account an request for unlock permissions.
Should work without much problems.
You can't, since every mi Phone bind it's imei to previous account on that device.

Then you would never be able to sell the phone to another person, since you had to give your own mi account to that buyer.
Sorry but i can't believe that.
If it is, it is stupid and should be changed.
Try signing out from the previous account
I was able to change from one MiUi account to another by first signing out from one MiUi account. I think on the device it says "un-register device on account" or similar. So you could try installing the previous de-bloated rom and try to unregister the device while booted into the rom, and then install new Rom.

just sign out mi account binded to that phone and sell it, i answered he can't because he bought mi 5 in china so how he found previous owner ?. there is only 2 solutions : 1. use any rom except miui 2. using dongle box to remove mi account that binded to that phone..
I have same problem, what I have to do? how to remove binding?
you can bypass activation state with any xiaomi account bypass support box or dongle.
I recommended MRT Dongle or BST Dongle.
if your device is bootloader unlocked , try flash custom recovery and remove /system/app/finddevice/FindDevice.apk via recovery
-1 . /system/app/finddevice.apk
-2./system/app/Cloud.apk
Good Morning,
I wanted to warn you to be very careful with this store. They have sold me a phone apparently with Global ROM and first of all that the mobile has been removed the seal and the bootloader opened, the day after receiving it I started to update it since the Custom ROM was very bad and I tried to use the OEMIFA version ( What should be) for this mobile, apparently all good but trying to boot ... The mobile remained in boot loop, I contacted the seller and only knows how to give me excuses and long, he gave me the contact of an "engineer" and it that this sends me to a forum MIUI to solve the issue, the forum that sends me is another model and above with the obsolete info.
The problem is that the phone now has a closed bootloader and also does not allow flash any image even the official China, if you put it in EDL either because you need to have everything authorized and nothing ... the seller continues washing his hands, I have said that I want a change of equipment and that I would take it to China and do it there to avoid expenses and nothing at all, impossible to reach an agreement.
For all this I want to warn you of the way of working of this store, the terminal arrived in a few days, well packaged and others but the after-sales service is ominous, null.

OK, I said yesterday to seller on one of my messages of Aliexpress...That I will make it in a different forums, youtube, etc...
I cant waste my time, my money for more time.
If they not give to the users ALL the info about your products and the restrictions in the use, all of we can bricked our phones... And lose the time, the money
I think that they must change my phone for a new unit because they NEVER SAID ME nothing about they was unlock my bootloader before the shipment and the most important thing... That nobody user can lock the bootloader with a Global ROM because if you make it...you lose it!!
Just wrote this message to the goldway user "TheCityAndTheStars " in the other post :
The reason is.... ALL bricks can be solved if goldway gives you the actual binded MI account !!
I think that there is an easy solution for those people with bricked Mi8 with bootloader Relock
The may reason that people stay bricked is you send the phones unlocked with an MI account created by you, and IT´S BINDED to device, so .. if user want to use unlock tool... not possible cause user can´t bind their own account.
If you go to developer options, the bind option is greyed out
So, SOLUTIONS:
1 - Give the user instrucctions to unbind YOUR MI account.
I bet you must created an accound per device, cause an account can unlock a device for month.
This solution works only if not already bricked
2 - Give the user the id an pass from the actual binded account, so, the user can use official unlock tool to do the job .. unlock the same device with same account is possible and no wait time needed. (AFAIK)
With that solutions, no need to send device to china, user can unbrick the phone, you can aviod a lot of problems cause there a lot of cases of brick for relock (cause if the f...king default option in MiFlash).

Any update? Is there any chance to get the xiaomi account from goldway or unbind it?
before it happened my phone could only go to twrp recovery and bootloader mode because it had no oc the i installed a firmware named (fw__miui_HM3Global_V9.5.3.0.LAIMIFA_7ee05887b5_5.1.zip) using the twrp after tapping reboot my phone never rebooted its hard bricked because the screen is always black no matter what button combination i hold nothing happens the xiaomiflashtool reads it as COM10 and pc reads it as (Qualcomm HS-USB QDloader 9008 (COM10)) i wanna know if i have any hope of getting my device back or am i screwed because cant afford an other one.
EDIT:i used the miflash tool on a different computer it reads the phone as COM4 now and when i try to flash the ROM i get an error with this texte "cannot receive hello packet"
i found online that the only fix for that is if i get an authorized miflash account
is that right? and if so how is it possible to get one? this is a problem that most people who brick there phones get . it would help alot if we solve the problem in this thread . thank u for your time.
Hi
I have same problem on my mi 8 se locked bootloader with system has been destroyed
Did you find any real solution please?
I have a phone which wont recognized via fastboot. Do you think EDL could help in this case?
Try some original CN Firmwares. This works for my brick.
What is this authorized account thingy? I got my account's permission to unlock bootloader since 2016 and I used a method (googled "miui how to know if your account is authorized" and the first link) (cus i am new i cant post links) to check if the account is authorized and it is apparently. Didn't you unlock your device's bootloader with your own account because it should be authorized or I dont know...?

Search for "XIAOMI Anti-Rollback Protection"
This is different than unlock permission. This thing is such a nightmare. I hardbricked my phone because of this, only after I paid 20$ for authorised account access, my phone got back to life.

My account is apparently authorized. I will ask some more in other places. I have been reading a lot and I think that it is authorized but not 100% sure if I will be able to unbrick devices.

No this is not what i meant. My mi account also show this to me.
Only authorized sellers have authorized accounts like Xiaomi india, xiaomi taiwan repair service etc. Users can not have it.
When you try to flash your phone via EDL it stops and ask you authorized account. But if you don't hardbrick your phone, you can flash with your account :good:
Hi guys,
I have just read a previous post from "abdulmaalik1tt" about a problem after an accidental bootloader closing. I have a similar problem but in my case, I think it is harder.
I intentionally closed the bootloader after installing everything in my K20 Pro, but I didn't know that if it is closed by other one than the one who opened it, the phone will brick.
I tried to unlock again, but in 99% the app gives me an error, and ask me to change something in developer options. Obviously, I can't do so, because the phone doesn't boot.
I tried to use miflash but it gives me an error because the bootloader is now closed
Is there a way to unbrick my phone? Should I throw it away through the window?
Thank you in advance.
same case, you open the back, do test point method, if you Mi account is not EDL authorized, you can borrow, or call the guys that help many k20 pro user in XDA.
please help
do you get any solution to this case? i have the same issue.
I had the same problem. Sadly the only thing you can do yourself (it's also the fastest and cheapest option) is to open your smartphone, short the two EDL points on the motherboard to access the EDL mode, contact someone with an authorized Xiaomi account to input his username and password in the Mi Unlock tool (through Teamviewer) and enable you to install the stock Chinese firmware.
The only other option, sadly, which I didn't like at all, is to send it to a Xiaomi service point.
And all of this because the default option in the Mi Flash tool is "install and LOCK". Idiotic.
PM me if you need the contact of the guy with the authorized acc.
if you can boot in fastboot try unlock bootloader with miflash unlock but old version it work for me later unlock bootloader you can flash stock with miflash again
I am in same boat - fake global rom, flashed forgetting to set to Clean all only - so bootloader locked.
Seller is no reachable - so looks like this is my only way.
When you guys say 'short' these two pins - how did you do that? with a paperclip? and you mean from one pin to the other pin?
--Update for future reference of others---
My K20 Pro has been restored with help from the Russian contact provided on previous page - ask nicely, he is very busy so don't waste his time.
My experience was great, he was patient, we made appointment time over whatsapp, we have to try twice as i couldn't get into EDL mode (try a different pair of scissors or tweezers).
Once in EDL he logged into his mi account via my team viewer session and flashed the rom i has prepared (chinese original fastboot).
Right after flashing - had a bit of trouble booting up the first time, it didn't boot when pressing the power button (no usb cable), when i plug in USB cable - it showed 100% battery but also didn't boot. Had to play with disconnect then reconnect the battery THEN unplug cable. And it finally booted the first time.
Thank you guys!

I ended up blocking the bootloader accidentally giving my k20 pro when changing the rom, but when passing the rom by edl, the device does not turn on in any way, when passing the Chinese rom I have to block the bootloader?
Worth Checking out he thread, maybe older mi unlock can remove the bootloader flag for you ? cheers

K20pro brick
Hi. Can someone help me to create an authorized edl account. Is there anyone who can lend me. I have a k20pro mobile that is completely turned off and I need an authorized account to blink. Send a message. +
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
There is an official removal of the account

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 ?

Unfortunately, unlocking will cost a lot
You need worldwide service
is this really the only answer ? why when I have access to the hardware , I am unable to do what I want ?
I own the phone , but it is basically a brick - I will attempt to get the phone number back with a new sim card from the teleco

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.
