Hi all
I had unlocked bootloader before but I was mucking around with mi flash tool and accidentally locked the bootloader.
Now the mi unlock tool isn't unlocking the bootloader anymore. Its giving an error "Couldn't unlock. Please add your account in MIUI's Settings".
I have tried everything, added the account in settings, then bound the account in "Mi Unlock status". Repeated it a number of times. Updated USB drivers, used two different machines, verified SIM connection via Mi Cloud etc but it just doesn't work unfortunately.
Is there any other method that doesn't involve mi unlock tool? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

PLEASE HELP. whenever i try to unlock bootloader it always gets stuck at 99% showing 'current account is not bound this device'. i am unlocking using account which got unlock permission 3 months ago.
I am on global stable rom. I tried changing to dev rom through updater app but it shows 'cant verify update' or 'you are allowed to flash only latest developer rom'.
Please tell me exactly how do i unlock my bootloader.
Create a new account. Then apply for unlock. And add this new account to your device. You will be able to unlock after a days. Meanwhile keep trying to unlock. It takes 3-4 days before you can unlock.

Please bind your account to the device in Mi unkock status at developer option
Just wait patiently, no need to create new account, I assume you have got your permission for unlocking? Then add that same account which you got permission from to your device and use your device normally, after 10- 15 days try unlocking again with latest mi unlock tool, it will unlock in one click, I have unlocked many devices with same account
Hey guys
this is my first time using MUIU
I brought a MI MAX 2 from a guy that i met during an event.
He told me that he doent remember the password and brought another phone
as i know about twrp and blabla
i brought it with a low price, but i'm able to bypass the mi account but since i get online it locks. (Now i'm thinking its stole)
i was able to go to dev options and enable OEM Unlock and USB DEBUG.
with this can i flash twrp? or something to get rid off the miui account?
The whole purpose of bootloader and the Mi Account is to keep your phone safe. So, without Mi Account, you can't unlock the bootloader and vice versa. EDIT: Also, he doesn't remember the password is completely stupid, becuase when you create a Mi account you need a mobile phone number and E-mail, so you can approve your account, and also in case of somehow magicaly loosing the password, you can recover it by using the data you provide while creating an account.
but since i have OEM UNLOCK option means that my bootloader is unlocked?

to be sure if the phone is unlocked, check the phone while it is rebooting. if you see the word "unlocked" at the center/bottom part of the phone, then you're in luck, but otherwise, then no go for twrp.

No, it doesn't. As already a member wrote to you, you would have "Unlocked" word, under the logo when you turn on your phone. IF that is a case, than your phone is unlocked already, if there is nothing, then sorry.
You can bypass account using MiracleBox, you can watch it on youtube.
I have mi 8, with unlocked bootloader from the seller. I know that if the bootloader is being accidentally locked it is very important to have the account that it has been unlocked with in the first place - smth like bound to the device trough developer options. Well I have never been able to enter my account from the developer options because the phone came unlocked but when I flashed the phone recently it was written: device is associated with existing mi account, and I unlocked with my acc. Does this mean that my account is associated/bound to the device? Or is there difference between bound and associated? Or differences between bounding phone and bounding bootloader?
Hello
I bought a used Mi 11 with locked bootloader. The owner of this Mi 11 has forgotten the Passwort from his Mi Account. So we cant unlock it with the Mi Tool. Is there a opportunity to unlock the device? Or perhaps to flash the reinstall the Rom and erase all user data?
Thanks

If he has only "forgotten" his password and if you are always in contact both, there a option for retrieve/reset actual password like all customer account.
But if you can't log/connect your Mi 11 with a legit Mi account there any way to unlock your bootloader.
Don't wipe your device also because at the first boot Xiaomi asking Mi account for using / unlock the device (linked account)
The seller has no data from the Mi Account for me. In this case,theres is no way to unlock the bootloader?

It's not the question, data or not data, you must log Mi account with the owner Mi account linked to this device.
Xiaomi want a proof you are the owner, device is not stealed.
So ask him to reset the password
Like @Pho3nX said if the previous owner had a mi account it is very easy to change password or phone number associated to the phone, you just need to go to the web browser and reset your account password, they will send you a temporary code to the phone number associated to the phone. If you dont have the number you can associate another number and reset the password. If the device of legit and not Stolen it should work just fine, I have changed my mi account password in the past having my device locked after getting rid of some stock apps, but it is very easy to recover that password.
I've been trying to unlock my Redmi note 9 bootloader, but I can't. For now my ROM is MIUI Global 12.5.4 stable. For some reason my fastboot kinda different than any tutorials and stuck with the mi unlock cannot find my device. I don't know what step I'm missing, help me please.
- Already make an mi account and registered phone number, already passed it on setting unlock status
- Already enabled OEM unlocking and USB debugging
- My PC is able to access file folder on my internal storage, and I was already tried in laptop and PC, still can't.
