Need Help in Unlocking Mi5

I request for Unlock, after 30 mins got SMS that I'm eligible for unlocking my device.
I tried on the Mi Unlock tool, got stuck at 50%, got the "Couldn't verify device" error.
Downloaded Mi5 Global Developer ROM tried to flash, got "Couldn't Verify Update" error
Downloaded Mi5 China Developer ROM and tried to flash with Mi Flash tool, got "error:FAILED(remote:device is locked, cannot erase)"
PS: My developer options doesn't have OEM UNLOCK option.

Please Help me.

You need to flash the china developer ROM in the edl mode. To get into edl:
Boot into fastboot and connect the phone to your PC. Then (assumimg you have adb and fastboot with drivers set up) type "fastboot oem edl" in the fastboot prompt. If you are in edl, the screen will be completely black and in the device manager, you should see Ports/ Qualcomm HS-USB QDloader 9008 (or something similar) . If you see it, click refresh in MiFlash and flash the china dev ROM. Then unlock your bootloader.

You can use the Global Beta version (developer version).
I also used that one and had the same problem.
Just wait another day and try again.
There seems to be some syncing between the different Mi sites (mic.om/miui.com/etc) and it not always is as quick as we want to.
Have already read about some people that had to wait a week for this.
For me it worked today, after i got the same error yesterday as you have.
Just try tomorrow and the day after that etc.

I tried getting into edl mode to flash China dev rom, but after entering the "fast boot OEM edl" command I get an error msg saying the phone needs to be unlocked before using edl

You flashed the developer rom via system update or fastboot?
Can you please give me the link to the file, because I'm facing "couldn't verify update" error always

I used this version:

And then the developer version off course.

I had the same issue, couldn't Verify Device beyond 50%, but after reading the instructions given at MIUI website, problem solved.
Firstly, install a developer ROM. Then you'll have to boot it up normally, and login to Mi Cloud, using the same user ID that Xiaomi has given the permission to unlock device.
You'll then be able to use the Mi Unlock app to unlock, using the same user ID to login.

Mi 9 bricked - Locked bootloader & MiUI version can't be installed on this device

Hi all,
I have searched for a solution to this but haven't come across anyone witht the same issue.
I bought a Mi 9 from China which came with the Global rom loaded. I found out that I couldn't use Google Pay unless I rooted with Magisk.
So I went through the process of trying to flash Magisk through fast boot (didn't work - boot loop to recovery) then with TWRP (didn't work - boot to TWRP and freeze).
I then used Miflash to flash the latest global stable version. Unfortunately I didn't notice it was defaulted to "clean all and lock" when I flashed. When the device restarted, it loaded into recovery and was no longer unlocked. The message is "This MIUI version can't be installed on this device". But I can't flash again, because its locked.
I downloaded the MiUnlock app and after running it get the message "Current account is not bound to this device" with instructions to change settings in developer options. But I can't access the developer options because the MIUI isn't loading.
So, yeah. I think I'm in trouble. Any suggestions?

If your device was global version i would say flash fastboot ROM with Mi flash tool or using script flash_all.bat. Then bound your account to your device, then try to unlock recovery. But i red that in some cases Chines version is not so simple, so search, how to flash fastboot ROM on Chines device and if there is some problems with this.
You will need adb and fastboot installed on your pc.
Upd. Man it's all over the internet, just search "This miui version can't be installed on this device". There is a fix with opening the device and so on... but if i was you i would try to contact the seller of the device and ask him to use his account to unlock recovery. My be using teamviewer or similar software.

you bought in china with global rom and it was unlocked already ? because if you tried twrp then the device must be unlocked (bootloader)
then it was a China Version with unlocked bootloader and global rom. you used then the miflash and locked the bootloader again and flashed the global rom...
so you bricked your device....
if found this in an other forum:
"Dear customers, our service provides services in a remote format, if you are from another country .
If you need Mi Authorized EDL Account or you need my services for the restoration of the brick phones and the account is deleted, mi, if you forgot , contact me on my contacts : WhatsApp +7967 777 15 98"

Thanks! I searched as suggested and am trying a fix from the MIUI forum "[FIX] unbrick your BL LOCKED phone without xiaomi id authorization!!!". If that doesn' work I'll go with the team viewer option. Cheers!

Read carefully and report
1. Try to hold down the buttons vol down and power, see if : fastboot devices sees it. If so XiaoMi Tool will restore it. If not do the same try recovery vol up + power. Do adb devices and see if anything shows up. Worst case you'll have to open the phone up and connect the EDL pins together and it will flash anything. I use minimal ADB and Fastboot phone plugged via USB cable into the computer and run those commands.
2. Fully bricks their device here is the unbrick factory method
https://c.mi.com/thread-1479882-1-0.html
that's connecting EDL pins with the phone case removed for a phone that doesn't boot at all
3. https://youtu.be/8mW0JzKow7E
here's the exact EDL test point required on Mi9
if you can't boot or recognize the device at all via fastboot or ADB. If this doesn't work nothing will...
But it will work, that's what the factory does. Obviously the last resort.

any success?

Bricked CC9 from anti-rollback. Help with EDL flashing

I accidentally flashed a MiUI 10 ROM with miflash onto my CC9 which has bricked my phone as it was previously on MiUI 11. My bootloader is now locked because I accidentally checked that option in miflash so I can't just fastboot flash another working ROM. I tried putting the phone into EDL mode using the test pin method, however since I did that once, it will no longer go into EDL mode again. Is this normal?
If anyone knows or can point me in the direction of someone who can unbrick my phone it would be much appreciated.
Thanks

This is why you have to be extra careful while flashing something.. hope you find a solution

Can you access fastboot mode? If so, you can try unlocking the bootloader again and installing the rom you want. If you haven't removed the mi account it will unlock and you don't even have to wait the required time again.

Unfortunately since I bought the phone off AliExpress, the seller had already unlocked it so their account is bound to the phone rather than mine. I have managed to get the phone to boot into EDL mode by the test point method but I don't have an edl authorised account to flash a working ROM. If anyone knows someone who could help me out with this I'm more than happy to pay them for their time ?

Download the latest fastboot firmware (MIUI 11) for your mi cc9 (not mi 9 lite). Don't grab the recovery.zip firmware, it's useless and will give you errors.
When you finish your download, unpack your .tar firmware twice and flash it with MiFlashTool while you are on fastboot mode. (Power/Vol-).
Next time, ask before flashing not after !

Hello , how is it going?. I also have problem with my cc9 and tried to flash latest miui 10 v11.3.4.0 and now it's softbricked , I'm having problem with Mi Flash since it's showing lock state error. any fix for it?

What kind of firmware are you trying to flash trough MiFlash ? recovery.zip or fastboot ? Can you take screenshots so people can know what is your issue ? Without screenshot no one will help you here !
Cheers

I also same situation, does anyone know a good idea?
I installed Global ROM in CC9(Chinese edition) device and the device BootLoader is locked.
When I used fastboot and miflashtool, I got a message "Unauthorized for this operation"
I tried to unlock it and I also get a message "please add your account in miui settings > developer options > mi unlock status"
But i can't get out of recovery mode so I can't change the settings.
I tried to unlock but failed and also attempts to flash in EDL mode failed.
Sorry for bad english

Mi 9 lite
I have a xiaomi mi 9 lite and it is in bootloop I try to turn it on and the MI logo appears for a second and it goes off I can't go into fastboot or recovery I already opened it to do test point and flash but it asks me for an authorized account If someone here has an authorized account that can lend me I will pay for the rental of the authorized account please help with that.

This guy helped me. He uses ultraviewer.net for remote connection. 1722 rubles for flashing.
MOD EDIT: Phone Number Removed
Le: how did you bricked it? I restored an older backup of android 9 over Android 10 from twrp. But from what I understand cc9 doesn't have rollback protection.
Le2: you can also try those fishy 710 firehose no Auth loaders you can find from various sources. Didn't worked for me but you can try.

If you flash Revolution OS or flash Android 9 over Android 10 rom you have good chance to hard brick device so you need to flash first fastboot rom if you want to go from 10 to 9

Thanks
friend @editheraven thank you very much for the contact, I spoke and yesterday I could flash my MI 9 lite I really appreciate it, thank you bro.

Download the fastboot firmware version and execute flash all. (not flash and lock).
I assume you have fastboot access.

I think you can't bypass unlock bootloader whitout permission, you should re-flash your system
1. Re-flash your Miui ROM using fastboot method, in miflash select clean all (warning all your data will be lost)
2. Boot to system
3. Add you mi account
Here is the complete to use flashing using miflash

Locked bootloader, unable to add miui account.

Hi, I bought my mi5 almost immediately after the release. I unlocked the bootloader and used the phone for all these years. Very recently while flushing with MI FLASH I accidentally ticked the flash all and lock option.
After that , bootloader is locked and can't add miui account so can't unlock the bootloader.After the boot it shows find storage device corrupted. I tried to flash via edl but deep flash cable/test point isn't taking it to the edl mode.Fastboot is almost un- usable. I was in latest global stable after trying a few tricks managed to flash global developer room.Still can't add the middle account that gonna bound my device to the account so that I can unlock the bootloader.
Any Idea?:crying:
