Hello, a friend of mine gave me his mi 9t pro because he broke his screen and I replaced it today
It was on global stable and he hasn't changed anything from stock.
I need to bypass his mi account password in order to factory reset, unlock bootloader and flash custom roms, because he doesn't remember neither the password nor the username (email) he used creating it. We tried with his phone number and his primary email (they are connected apparently) but this was for another account, probably on his previous phone redmi note 5 pro. We tried with two other possible emails but there wasn't any account associated with them. He hasn't changed phone number, so it has to be a different email.
In the "forgot password" page it needs an email or a phone number. Is there a way to get it from his mi id?
Or is there any safe way to bypass mi account? I read some guides with mi account unlock tool.
Currently the phone is working as I set my fingerprint, so I don't want to mess that up, but he needs his privacy and I need the freedom to flash whatever rom I want.
So please share if you have any ideas.
Edit: I figured that I could use mi id In the "forgot password" page, but it asks me for a recovery phone. If I enter his mobile number, it says that this number is used for another mi account. And If I put mine it would associate my phone number to his account, which we don't want that.
Didn't use MIUI longer than the unlock wait period, so don't know if there's anything more you can do as things are, within MIUI.
If you used your number for the recovery phone number, in theory, your friend 'should' be able to edit his Mi account afterwards to delete your phone number from his account. Again it's been a long time since I had anything to do with MIUI and Mi accounts, so don't take that as absolute.
Depending on where you are. If there's a Xiaomi centre nearby you could ask them to factory reset the phone. Your friend might need to persuade them the phone is genuinely his and explain he needs to do this as he wants to give the phone to someone else and he's forgot Mi account details.
If this is not an option, then EDL flashing is another option. It requires removing the back to access the test pins near the battery, to put the phone in EDL mode. You can easily find videos showing how to do this. After that you will need someone with an authorised account to remote on to your PC in order to flash the phone. If I remember correctly, they could also leave the phone unlocked after flashing, saving you the hassle of doing this yourself.
Expect to be charged between US $20 - $40 for someone to do this. I don't have details of anyone who can do this, and it's against XDA rules to 'promote' paid services, with mods clamping down and deleting posts with contact details of anyone that can do this. Therefore the best option is to ask on the Mi 9T Pro/K20 Pro telegram group, you should get contact details easily and quickly on there.
Thanks for the detailed answer.
Yeah someone on telegram group already suggested me to go to a service center. I will ask them to see If it's possible and what do they need, but it's not very close to me and I thought asking for alternatives first.
That's a no for me, I am not gonna pay for something illegal.
My friend told me he remembered that a friend of his set it up. So maybe he knows what credentials he used.
His friend said that probably logged in with google, but these credentials don't work and in Settings/Mi Account/Accounts google and fb are not connected. So we are stuck with "restore security info".

"Forgot password" using mi ID.
This is what I am asking. What recovery phone should I use here? With my friend's one says that it's associated with another mi account. Then what about device info and account activity? Do you know what that might be? Maybe I have to ask him for his sim card and reconnect to his google account.
We don't want to do anything stupid to lock the phone, because it's currently useable as I said. He just needs his privacy and I want to flash some custom rom especially when the MIUI updates stop.
Solution: I didn't manage to verify my identity with restore security info (I am not sure why). What I did was to log in via qr code from the phone (settings/mi account) to xiaomi cloud and then add a recovery phone number/email. I tried before with the same way on mi account directly, but password was required again to add recovery info.

My boss has a G1 that is locked. He let his younger brother play with it for a while and locked it. He inputted the incorrect pattern lock several times.
Now the phone is asking for a gmail username and password. He says he does not remember his gmail username and password. i know i know...
Anyway, he needs his contacts in the phone. He is willing to pay for service or software just to get the contacts out from the phone. His phone is issued by T-Mobile and has never been flashed.
Can anybody help me with this? I tried accessing the phone with the ADSK, but I believe that the debugging option in the phone is disabled by default and I cant get through it.
Any ideas would be greatly apprecaited. Thanks.
He should just use the password recovery option that google provides on their website. He should at least remember the email address he signed up with. I'm sure he can at least think of a few possibilities. After that screen there are instructions on how to recover your password.
https://www.google.com/accounts/ForgotPasswd
You will never loose the contacts even if you do a factory reset of your phone!

Forgot Password
After you get the password, go to Gmail
Click on "Contacts" tab, and he will see anything he wants.

lol your boss shouldve use the same email username as his primary email.. i.e. i use [email protected] and [email protected]
or shouldve used his name as his gmail username.
idk how u can recover his contacts..but i know how to unlock his phone...you would have to hard reset it..
If your T-Mobile G1 Google smartphone is not responding or is frozen, you may have to opt for a hard reset. Here’s how:
1. Turn the G1 off. If it’s frozen on, take the battery out and put it back in the unit.
2. Hold the Home and Power keys down at same time for about 25 seconds. You will see a yellow triangle screen with exclamation point in the middle.
Now to wipe the device clean:
3. Press Alt+L.
4. Press Alt+W for a factory reset.
5. Press the Home and Back keys again for about 25 seconds.
The device should then reset again and the hard reset is complete.
and his contacts should already be synced up to his gmail account.
his contacts being synced with his gmail account dosnt help if he dosnt know the password. but if he does know the password he can view them in his gmail account and dosnt need the phone at all. so resetting the phone wont get him any closer to his contacts.

resetting phone will at least unlock his phone and if the boss's sim card came froma previous phone there is a possibility of his old contacts being saved in the sim card.
if he listed a secondary email account during sign up then he can access he username and password recovery
if there is no secondary email account then the only option is to track down people he sent emails to. preferably friends and coworkers and try to find out his username like that.
i call shenanegans i have met a LOT of really freaking stupid people and even a few mentally retarded and not one of them has EVER forgotten their email address, some may have forgotten their passwords a few times but you don't usually forget your email. another thing, most people who are dumb enough to not remember something important like email/password are the people that use the same password for everything. search the forums and the webs, i know someone found a way past the screen unlock code thing

Does anyone know if it's possible to have multiple contact lists?
I know that you can categorize your phone entries into different categories.
Work, Personal etc etc.
This is *NOT* what I am looking for.
I would like to have completely separate contact lists/files.
Is it possible and if so how would you do this?
TIA
yes you can
each email account will contain its own contact list

Thanks, but it's not quite what I'm looking for.
Yes you can create numerous e-mail accounts (Google etc.) and have contacts in each of them, but there is still ONLY ONE Phone contact list to display.
I'm looking for multiple 'Phone' contact lists.
when you go into Display Options you will see:
-Phone
-Google (e-mail1)
-Google (e-mail2)
- etc.
Only ONE Phone list.
So again, is it possible to have multiple Phone contact lists, and if so how would you set it up?
I wouldn't mind even being able to rename the default Phone list and then opening up a second, if it were possible.
TIA
it works even with Yahoo and Hotmail accounts
each of your email address will be able to hold its own contact list for both phone, emails, etc
i have 5 hotmails accounts each with its own set of contact numbers/email address
3 from yahoo, and 12+ from google
so it's very easy to keep work stuff in 1 account, personal stuff on 2nd account, private stuff on 3rd account, family stuff on 4th account, Girlfriend #1 contacts on 5th account, Girlfriend #2 contacts on 6th account, Wife contacts on 7th account, another wife on 8th account, your secrect admirers on 9th account, your buddies on 10th account, you rich uncle jorge that owns an island in the caribe with 10 wife private jet and yatch that secretly spare you a million dollar on the side and all his not so clean business partners on 11th account, your lawyers and attornesy contacts on 12th account....
you get the idea
inside the SGS phone they all seem perfectly fine and normal as one huge list, but when you look in details, each number/email is associated with your specified email contact list from any of Yahoo, Hotmail, Gmail
it's that easy, i love this phone, it's just perfect for multi account managements

But there's the rub!
One huge list.
I don't want a huge list, EVEN if it can later be VIEWED in different ways.
I want a list in one separate file, that can't be accessed unless you load up that particular file.
Can it be done?
TIA

it might be possible with some Contact Management app, but not with the build in Contact app that came with the phone
there's the category option, which you don't want
and there is always the filter by option
the search option is very natural as well, just type what you think it's the name or number, and it comes up right away
even though my contact list is huge, i've never had trouble finding quickly (less than 5 sec) the contact info i needed

Thanks. Can you please explain a bit more about this option?
I can't seem to find it. Is it a flexible filter? Many options to filter by?
The only thing I see at the moment is filter by whether the contacts have a phone number or not.
Can you filter by whether or not the contacts have a note saying "Green shirt"?
What is 'merge with Google' in contacts for? It didn't do anything upon clicking. I was assuming my social network contacts will get uploaded to google but nothing happened. I don't have any contact on phone and SIM if that is what it is supposed to upload.

iirc, it should merge all your contacts into your google account, so if you ever swap phones, you can just sync the contacts to the new phone instead of backing them up to a microSD and reimporting.
I guess with this button you upload your phone's contacts to your google-account.
btw. Does anybody know how to upload your facebook-contacts to google?
When i decide to merge a fb-contact with a googlecontact it will be merged on my phone only, but not on google. When I flash a new rom I need to merge all contacts manually again. this is so sad. solution? =)
Thanks in advance!

No way to do that at the moment. There are a couple of options to ease the trouble though.
1. Rename your google contacts to be the same as your facebook contact and upon adding facebook account sync, it will attempt to "auto" match contacts based on names. (Not applicable to everyone as sometimes they will use some names for their facebook profiles like "Playboy Randy", etc....)
2. Input your facebook friend's email into your google contact account and upon merging , it should come up right on top of the list of suggestions.
3. Not so recommended way is to use a backup software and backup all your contacts to it. Upon restoring it on phone, you retained all your google and facebook contacts merged but you cannot use google sync anymore as it will create duplicates on your phone. :-(
Further, what is this for?
Dun trust this button. It varies from ROM to ROM. Basically, in the perfect scenerio google will backup all your market links and wifi password, bookmarks, etc into the google server and upon installing a new ROM and after signing in to google, it will attempt to redownload all the applications from the Market and restore the wifi password, etc.
I had this checked all the time but after flashing about 100 Roms, it works 2 or 3 times the most

Yup, i updated firmware but nothing was restored. Sometimes Google fails to deliver at all.
At least we can backup all apps with titanium backup...

After clicking it, I am seeing duplicate contacts. All Google contacts are duplicated. Don't use this stupid button guys!
its true its an evil button/command and a very big mistake to click it but in case there are others out there who just like me clicked this command... here is what i did to restore my contacts as to the previous status
1. use your computer to access your gmail account (the one you merged the contacts with)
2. click the red gmail button somewhere at the upper part of the page (its hard to miss coz its red)
3. the drop down menu will be revealed and choose contacts
4. the merged contacts will usually be placed under the "My Contacts" group
5. select all of the contacts (all contacts should have their check-box checked, right beside them)
6. you should see the button "More" at the center of the page, click that
7. click export to google CSV type (first bullet, and make sure to export all contacts, the outlook CSV format will export it to excel type format which will mess up your phone numbers if you have saved the numbers using the +(country code) format; the plus will be removed in excel and even the zeros before your numbers will also be removed)
8. use kies to restore the contacts from the contact file generated from gmail using the import/export button...
9. do note though that google and samsung kies has somewhat different type of field naming and arrangement so your contacts will have different labels and all... that's what you get for pressing the merge button
Hello,
About a week ago I started getting a persistent notification on my Note 4.
Chrome
Sync: Password Required
I enter in my google password and it tells me it is incorrect. I even went changed my gmail password via my PC and tried to enter in the new password but it still says it is incorrect.
What password is it asking for? I am growing tired of seeing that constant notification. Thanks for any assistance.

Looks like you encrypted your Chrome Sync with a Sync password. It is different from your google password.
If you do not remember your sync password, look here for help: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/2390059#resetsync
I believe that I resolved my issue as follows:
I remembered my old password and tried that. It worked. I have not had any notifications for over 2 hours. Before I would constantly get the notification.
Don't ask why I tried my old password. I just did. I know that I use a new password and have been using it for over 1 year on Gmail, Google, etc. Hope you can resolve yours, too.

This troubled me for a while so I figured it out.
Chrome > settings > click on your face (google profile email) > then again (google email) then unclick "sync everything". sync password bla bla goes away for good.

Hi
I decided to get a M5 lite and try to see how it would be for me not having Google services. I do own a P30 pro and waiting to get the new p50 Pro. I even bought a P40 lite 5g but it's is on its way. Anyway back to the description of the problem.
I decided to remove all (or disable) the Google apps from the tab and I even made a new email account with outlook (M5 came with office apps installed and thought it would be OK to register them) instead of Gmail.
Day 2 I couldn't access the mail, verification email needed but sadly I forgot the password (I thought it was saved in the system). No luck. I try to retrieve it from Microsoft. No luck even there. It seems that I don't have to much info for the account to be retrieved.
It is really funny.
I gained access to mail app and my email (somehow from PowerPoint app communication using my phone and receiving a sms code to it, unlocking it) I can send and receive emails.
I am the owner and have total control of the email (single user, single device). I even registered to XDA with this email.
I send emails, communicated to Microsoft to see that I own it.
But for Microsoft it seems that I am not able to demonstrate that I am the owner (screenshot)
My question is
Can I retrieve my password that it is saved to the app (mail Huawei) ?
Other solutions to retrieve password?
I know that I can make another account but I don't want to.
Thanks for your input.

Hi to everyone. I would really be thankful if you can help me out here.
It is really incredible frustrating this thing.
I made an email with outlook.com for my Huawei mediapad m5 lite. Sadly I forgot (wrong written previous password?missspeling?)the password already from day one. I couldn't give more info or start 2 factor verification. This means that I have an account that I use regularly (send and receive emails to my tablet using the Huawei mail application) but I don't know the password.
This means that if I lose the tablet. If the application crashes och my tablet dies I lose the account and all the other info's and accounts linked to it.
Microsoft is really useless. Their algorithm for retrieval av forgotten password is totally useless if you are trying to retrieve for a brand new account (ex. Give previously used passwords - I don't have any!)
I contacted them by chat. They agree that it is strange but again they cannot help.
If someone can help me I would like to know.
Is it possible to find the password stored in My tablet?
When I add an email I am asked to login to Microsoft via their login page. Does that mean that the password is not saved in my tablet?
Can someone help?
After insisting on trying to get a verification of my email (I do managed to activate preinstalled office apps on the tablet and I even bought a subscription of 365 office premium - free trial that I cancelled after I got my password workin) it finally came and I can set my new password and activated 2 factors security etc. It now runs on my phone. Thumbs-up.
In case that someone had interest. Hope no one get to contact Ms for this. Great loss of energy to make something as easy as to change the password.
