Hi Guys,
i wanted to unlock my Mi 11 Pro , but i've got an error which confuses me: "sorry couldnt unlock more devices by this account this Year". Never heard of it and it is the 3rd Smartphone this year i want to unlock. Have you ever seen this error message? Probably anyone has an idea or maybe a workaround?

Seems like you are the first Xiaomi user to unlock 3 devices in 1 year using 1 account. Congratulations, you are unique
I'd suggest unbinding your device with the current mi account and connect it with a new one and then try unlocking.

Hello everyone,
First of i want to mention that it`s my first experience with Nexus device after so many years so don`t blame me
well my friend bought Nexus 6 and it was all good (about hours) then he did factory reset and bad things just started... he was unable to complete setup, he was writing e-mail and pass and it was going back to WiFi select, also he could not skip WiFi select. someone said Google block but i never heard of it (i have z2 which has custom oem os so i don`t think it`s present there). well so how to get rid of that? he also can`t unlock boot because of DEV OPTION check and so on -_-
thanks in advanced

Was this bought used? Sounds like the previous owner didn't have the device ready for sale, and they'd need to log into it in order for your friend to activate it.

Unfortunately, no. The seller would have to put in his email address and password so that your friend can then put his own information in.

Like the titles says, is there any other way to unlock bootloader besides applying for it and waiting ~15 days for it ? It seems ridiculous to wait that long.
That unlock rush seems to have tided over for now. My unlock approval came within 2 days.

Thank you for your response.

Yeah, this is pretty much right, mine was nowhere near the 15 days they warn you about.
Mine was almost immediate

Same problem by me, one day i just tried to log me in the unlocking tool and it did work, i jsut didn't get a notification from Xiaomi. Perhaps some problem with my carrier or something.
I got the sms within 2 days and have successfully unlocked my mi5... afaik that's the only way to unlock the bootloader for now

Currently that's the only way to do it.
But the unlocking process is nowhere near the level of frustration others were having few months ago.
I've got unlock permission in 2 days. So it's not 2-3 weeks like before, along with the rejected request.
I'm also not much active on miui forum, don't have godlike status there, but having MI account since 2013.
I also didn't have to write my request in Chinese, so all in all, it was a smooth process for me.
Now the play begins! Hopefully without bricking my device
I want to sell my mix, but I can not delete the device from the mi cloud. Instead of my device there is always just this message "just a sec...". I had the Global Beta of Xiaomi based on Oreo 8.0 on it. I thought a beta problem? After downgrading to NAHMIEI still the same picture. I do not know how to fix this. Tied to my Mi account, the phone is worthless. Does somebody have any suggestions?

I bought a second hand mi mix motherboard from a used phone which is basically a used phone. I had the seller relock the bootloader before shipping to me and had no problems setting up with my accoun and applying for another unlock codet. So maybe miflash with fastboot rom reset and relock the bootloader. Then the next person should be able to create or login to new account. You could test first.
Im just about to get a Mi Mix, seems like this Mi Cloud is shady, should I try to disable it before adding apps and accounts? I'm in the USA, Is there a concern about where this data is being stored (China) ?

I'm sure the Chinese CIA will take good care of your private data.
Being in the USofA, unless of course I had business or relatives in mainland China, I would worry more about Google.:angel:
Any serious business should not be using Android phones at all.

Hi all !
I tried muliple times to unlock my phone. I have to wait a week each time but the unlock software tells me to wait an additionnal week all the time.
Is it possible that Xiaomi refuse to unlock my phone ? I don't understand what's going on.
I searched for an alternative option it seems it doesn't exist yet.
Anyone has the same problem ?
Thanks.

If I remember now Xiaomi took 60 days to give unlock code, while before it took 15 days
It's been 3 months now. I think I would buy another device. The Xiaomi politic about unlocking is crap. I'm wasting my time.

I don't know my problem was similar to yours, but this is what happened to me.
I had to wait 1 week to unlock my bootloader. When the week was over, the unlocking tool (Mi Flash) told me I need to use the device a few more days. Instead of waiting, I downloaded an old version of the unlock tool, which made it possible to unlock the phone right away (instead of waiting a few more days).
This is the version of Mi Flash I used. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-F6_jbKa-OsbUFCZm1TUk9lMEE/view
I'm also having the same issue.

Gonna try this. Thanks for this mate.
To me the problem is bigger than just this.
Now imagine a compagny that build your house. Now you want to open a window but you have to ask the compagny guy first and he says no.

Well, then you need to complain to most smartphones companies out there.
Back in the days Nexus models was so cools for developpers. There's a difference between complex method and the fact you need online key to unlock your phone. I don't understand this politic that most of the time encourage hacking. :silly:
I waited like a week the moment after I take it out of the box. Do you did the Mi account steps properly? It sounds stupid, but I could be a problem.
You MUST follow the steps with care! Never try shortcuts or alternative methods .... Use the phone during the wait period with the Sim card inserted ... And you are good.
If you are not either you did not follow precisely the instructions or gave Xiaomi reasons to believe you are attempting to unlock too many phones too fast (unofficial reseller, the reason the wait time exist).
Bug in the process can exist of course... But sincerely it's difficult I nthos case.

Unfortunately also with this olderversion I have to wait for 167 ours
I have tried with the latest version before, don't know if that makes a difference for setting the waiting period.
First try for me, going to wait for a week and see if I can unlock then.

I think you did something wrong the first time, like removing your mi account or trying to unlock with some unofficial ways ... And that triggered the loop. I mean, without realizing you did it.
At this point, if I was you, I would stop trying anything, use the phone with MIUI, after a factory reset and putting back again the mi account, for a couple of weeks, without trying anything.
After that, try the unlock procedure again, wait the week once more, and the you should be fine

You'll have to wait for 167 hours anyway. However, if Mi Flash asks you to use the device a couple more days (generally 72 hours) after the waiting period is over (in your case 168hrs), then you should use the old Mi Flash version, as it bypasses that additional waiting time.
Actually everythings was fine. After weeks of pain I finnaly managed to unlock my device. After 4 attempts... I don't know why Xiaomi does this but it's such a waste of time.
Thanks all for your answers.

I know there are many posts regarding the 168h unlock waiting period out there. That is what makes it so difficult to figure out if there is a confirmed way to circumvent the problem.
Is there?

Yes it is possible. The solution is to wait 7 days then try unlocking again. This is the only way to get around it, all other methods to try and bypass the 168 hours do not work.

Which problem and what to figure out and circumvent?!
When you apply to unlock they tell you to wait 168 hours = 7 days
You just need to follow and after exactly 7 days you come back and unlock your Bootloader - very simple
Been there, done that... no choice
I received my Mi 9T Pro, and just like my previous phones (Mi Mix 2S 7 days, Mi Mix 2 was < 3-4 days) I had to wait 7 days. My Mi Mix was a lot less time (and I learned the hard way), I believe it was 3 days or so but it was longer for me because I was trying different hacks to circumvent the delay. All I was doing was resetting the start time when it would fail. So for now, put the phone away and come back to it in 7 days and it works like a charm when unlocking.
Cheers
