I've searched the fprum and googled every term I could think of. I posted a thread on the complaints/advice forum, with one response that was a further inquiry. Posted thread here: http://en.miui.com/thread-443657-1-1.html
Let me start by saying I had a max I requested/granted an unlock authorization, but I sold the max and never unlocked.
As you can see from the link, when I click the unlock request page (http://en.miui.com/unlock/) I am taken to the unlock page, as if I already received the unlock authorization for my Mix. I have not been able to apply, because of this, so there cannot be an authorization.
I've tried logging out of my MIUI account on both phone and PC. I've tried two other PC's (mine and wife's) with same results. I can't find anything close to this in my searches or on the complain/advice forum.
Last thing I could try is responding to the text from 5-6 months ago approving the unlock on the Max.
Anyne have a suggestion? I'd love to unlock the potential on my favorite device.
Thanks
If you have a Gmail Adress , try to use @googlemail.com instead of @gmail.com as your username. That was the key to success in my Case. I did not get a txt message
Does your phone have the global (multi language) rom installed when you received it or the Chinese one?.
Check it. Cuz if it has the global rom, then it is unlocked. I went thought the whole process to find out at the end that my phone was unlocked to begin with.
If you know how to do fastboot, you can check via "fastboot oem device-info"

It came with the Chinese stable ROM (8.0.11.0). I waited a few weeks after receiving before going for the unlock.
By global ROM, do you mean the Chinese developer ROM? The only other global ROM, I know of is the rooted one, but I need the unlock approval first.

As other members have noted the unlock appears to be per account, not per phone. I think it was @underlines that shared this concept. He was granted unlock four years ago on another phone and has never applied again.
I suggest you just go ahead and unlock your Mix.
Remember to activate Developers Options, remember to enter your credentials in the MIUNlock area in Developers settings.
And if you are going to install TWRP don't forget to root.

This givs me an idea: Since the lock is per account, I'll just create another account with a different email address.
Thanks, I'll keep plugging at it.

You miss my meaning, if you were granted permission to unlock the Max then you should already have Mi Account permission to unlock.
I suggest you just try to unlock your Mix with your current Mi Account

Yes, I can confirm it's per Xiaomi Account. You can then unlock any phone linked to your account.

Could you be more specific please for this part "I deleted my account before logging out of it from my device"? Have you deleted the Mi account from the device?

Well can you see the Mi account info in your device? If yes then try to recover the password. If that's not possible then register a new Mi account and request for an unlock request again. As far as I know it may not be possible to delete an Mi account fully. Just try to recover the password.

It's because of weak xiaomi programming
I can recover my account just using Mi ID because I made another account using my email that was associated with my previous account Is there any way to find out the ID? because its like this 167****5677
Thanks again

I don't think so. Unless you've phone no bounded with that account. Just re-apply for unlock with that new account and remove the Mi account from your device.
No its not possible to recover it anymore... Unfortunately your phone is a paperweight now.
I think you can try https://imeisn.com/ if you didn't found a solution. It helped me just yesturday.
Hi,
I've bought the Mi 9T Pro on Amazon.
So far, everything works fine besides the fact that I get an error message in chinese while using the Mi flash unlocker to unlock the bootloader.
Mi account logged in. Since I don't have a nano-sim yet for my main number I've used my spare card to activate it.
Anyone fluent in chinese what might be missing here?

The message says that the device has been locked via the MI find my device service. Is the number your account? If so, you will have to unlock your device first via find my device.

Oh someone can read it.
Any idea how or where I can remove that completely?
Edit: the number is not my primary under which I've registered my other Mi devices. But I've used it once to unlock my dad's Mi Mix 3, which is also registered with my Mi account.

If the displayed account is your account, you should be able to just head to i.mi.com and unblock your own device. If it's someone else's account number, that means someone has marked it stolen or otherwise locked.
Alright, after cutting my sim I continued. After updating the MiUi Flasher I get now errors in English.
New error: "Current account is not bound to this device. Enable it under dev options -> Mi Unlock status."
I did exactly that - I inserted the sim, went to this options, and ticked link to account. fter that I got a message "linked successfully". In fastboot mode in the flasher I get the same exact error again. The phone does not seem to be recognized by the Mi account and is thus not listed in the Mi cloud.
Any ideas what went wrong and how to fix it?

Log in to the Mi Flash Tool using the phone number of the SIM that's in the phone and was used to register the phone for unlocking (when you go to developer settings, unlock status)
This normally happens because the phone number wasn't registered on your Mi account before starting the unlock process.
That was the error, ty very much. I did always login with my email. After the phone number it did show a timer.
PS: a whole week now? No idea why they prolong it each time...
Mi 9t pro should be on global rom,why is the warning msg in Chinese?

Might have been due to an older version of the Mi flash tool. After I updated it, it was in english. Maybe the older version did not have support for the global Mi 9T and thought I have a chinese K20 Pro.

You are lucky, I have to wait 169hrs before I can unlock the bootloader.

Hello
So, i wanted to unlock my phone's bootloader so that i can use pixel experience (i hate MIUI, atleast MIUI13) and i created an account with my phone number and added account under Mi Unlock Status, but then for some reason i deleted that account. Then i created another account with the same number and when i go to add it under Mi Unlock Status, it says "Cant add more accounts to this SIM Card. Try another" idk what that "another" thing is to try. How can i fix this problem? Can waiting for 7 days or even 30 days fix this problem? I have seen some people say they changed SIMs, but i cant do so. Also there are not many threads on this topic which would help me. I dont mind on waiting (better late than never). Please help me fix this.
Thanks )

The account may not be deleted from the Xiaomi servers yet. Wait.
Otherwise another sim card.

Use the latest.
At the address provided above try to reset the password.
With Mi unlock prefer the connection with an email or qr code than the phone number.

Alrighty then! We'll see.
Thanksss!!!
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

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.
