Hey guys I just bought in China used Mi5,
Seller told me that i can't log in Mi account, so now I can't update my MIUI rom,
Miui version is 7.2.12.0 can someone tell me how to remove binding from old account and install clean Global Stable rom?
Download the version you want (i suggest the Global Developer version) and put it in the Download_rom map of the phone.
Then start the Update software, choose from menu for installing downloaded rom and choose the downloaded version.
After that, you can register online an own (new) MI account.
If the phone is still bootloader locked you can ask for unlock permissions on your new account.
If already unlocked, just connect you new MI account with the phone.
Last step can be done from the developer version in the developer menu.

I am not sure if i understand correctly, but the bootloader will not get locked just from the upgrade.
It can get locked by a full new install via the MI flash software (if you want that).
You can simply logout from the current Mi account, so the phone is not mapped to that old account.
Make a new Mi account if you don't have it, and login on the phone with that account.
If the phone is bootloader locked, wait 24 hours after login and then request unlock permissions.
But yours was already unlocked i thought.

Ok, then start by logging out the MI account.
You will not need a password for that, just go to settings and find the MI account and logout.

No I can't because now I have installed rom without Mi services, If I install global rom with Mi services my phone will be locked

If you have a MIUI without Mi account in the settings, then i think you have a custom rom and not the original China or Global rom.
If you follow my steps, then you will not lock the bootloader.
Download the Global Developer or the China Developer version and put in on the phone in the Download_rom directory.
Start the Update App.
Push on the 3 dots (menu) button on the top right.
Choose for 'Other rom' or something like that.
Choose the downloaded full version rom and choose install.
That will give you a developer version with the Mi account option and it will not lock your phone.
I think your device is bypassed Mi account lock for temporary .
device can lock after firmware update or factory data reset , please be careful
Redmi 3s
bootloader is unlocked in my device. i frequently shift between miui and stock rom. Once when i came back to miui rom from stock, everything came up, but i got a screen saying "mi account is locked" and it wants me to verify the account. So when i entered the password of the mi account, it says "cant verify, cant connect to internet". The thing is im not able to bypass that screen, without bypassing i cant use the phone nor cant enter any app.
Im using global developer rom.
Please help me.
So I bound the Mi account I use on my 9T Pro when I bought it in October (came from redmi 4x) and in November I tried to unlock the bootloader from the common method using Mi unlock, but it said I had to wait 168 hours, I waited like 15 days (I was occupied by work and forgot about the bootloader thing) then, 15-16 days after tried to unlock the bootloader again and got the same "wait 168 hours"; I waited another week+1 day and tried to unlock it again and the same 168 hours message appeared. Today, another week+1 day passed and tried to unlock again and the same message showed up again.
Tl;Dr :
I've been trying to unlock the bootloader for like 2 months and every time I try to unlock it it shows "wait 168 hours".
Any way to fix this or unlock the bootloader without mi unlock?
when you say you tried to unlock the bootloader, what did you actually do?
Also during the wait time was the phone on? Was the SIM card in? were you using it while you waited?
After waiting a week what are you doing?
You should not do anything on the phone, other than put it into fastboot.
Then connect to the PC and use the Mi Unlock Tool as normal.
Doing things like changing the Mi account linked to the phone, binding the phone again in the Mi Unlock Status screen, etc. will reset the timer.
I am facing same issue on my mi note 10!!
Do you able to unlock your Device then??
From my experience you can use your phone normally while you wait , make sure you use an Intel based pc and make sure you install and update the drivers from mi unlock tool and mi flash tool .
It happened to me once because i didn't have the drivers correctly installed , and log in to both devices , also oem unlock on in dev options just in case.
Just go to developer mode and check mi unlock status and follow what has been said. And dont just login mi account in your phone but also sync your account with your phone
I have followed all rules
1)I didn't sign out my mi account from the device during waiting time!!
2)used my phone normally with sim card
3) i installed drivers from mi unlock tools
4)oem &usb debugging is on
5)i tried with 3 accounts but same issue occuring!

You should have already added the Mi account at the start of the process. Redoing this again at the end is why the counter is getting reset.
After 7 days you only need to put the phone in fastboot mode, connect to the PC and run the unlock tool.

No brother listen, suppose i added mi account in mi unlock status ...then maintaining all rules(find device on,sync on) i have entered to fastboot mode and starts the unlock process by mi unlock tools then i got 168 hours timer
Ok fine then after 7 days don't i need to again add account to mi unlock status??? I talked about this!! I didn't logout mi account from my device within the 7 days!
If you talk about that after 7 days i just need to go at fastboot mode and unlock through the mi unlock tools then my question is how my device will recognize?? It won't show any error like add your device in mi unlock status?????
Check this note i found it miui website
Note:
1. Follow the timer/ waiting period shown in Mi Unlock Tool to unlock successfully.
2. After you've successfully bound your Mi Account, do not factory reset/ log out the approved Mi account from your phone. Otherwise, the timer will be reset and you gotta spend more time waiting again.

At the start you go to the Mi Unlock Status in the developer options and press the button to link and validate (bind) the phone with your Mi account(needs to be done over cellular data). This only needs to be done once. If you do this step again it resets the 7 day timer.
After 7 days you just need to use the Mi Unlock Tool, logging in to it with the account you already linked to the phone 7 days earlier.

I got it !!
That's the issue!! Okay i will try after next 7 days
So the summary is like
Unlocking process has two parts
1st part
We need to apply and get 7 days waiting
In this step we need to add mi account through mi unlock status (developer option)
2nd part
After 7 days just directly booted to fastboot and starts unlocking procedure by mi unlock tools!!
But are you sure about that???

Brother, you shouldn't add the mi account in MI unlock status more than once. Just add it the first time only. If you add it again, the waiting timer resets.

okay...... i wish to do that cz after i updated to android 11 this june...the wifi speed on my phone has decreased drastically...... nd it was a normal update ..... not something i forced....i've resetted my phone almost 10 tmes now but nothing worked......all the other devices connected to my router work at the max bandwidth except for this one. So i plan on fastbooting my phone with the previous android 10 version which was on my device before android 11...... does anybody think that it might fix the issue?
After binding the phone to your Mi account, using the Mi Unlock Status, put the phone into fastboot and connect to the PC.
Login to the Mi Unlock Tool on the PC and try to unlock the phone. If your lucky it might unlock straight away. If not it will tell you how long you need to wait. (Used to be 7 days)
If you need to wait, disconnect the phone and continue to use it as normal.
Once the wait period has expired, put the phone into fastboot and connect to the PC.
Login to the Mi Unlock Tool and try the unlock process again. This time it should work.
Do not do the Mi Unlock Status process again. It restarts the timer.

One more thing to know, if you haven't got that far.
There used to be a bug with the Mi Unlock Status process and I don't know if it's fixed.
If your Mi account never had your phone number linked to it, the Mi Unlock Status process would create a new account, using your phone number from the SIM card and with the password of your original Mi account, instead of updating the original Mi account with the phone number.
When using the Mi Unlock Tool, logging in with your email or Mi ID, if it says the phone isn't linked to your account, use your phone number to login to the tool instead.

Are you sure the phone is not stolen?
I format+download my REDMI 9. The device is mine, but I deleted MI account before to log out my phone and now I can't restore it and my device fallen into a black screen every time I connect it on internet.
Format+download doesn't resolve your issue.
Maybe the mainboard code is stored in other partition and every time you connect to web, the Mi cloud application look for the code into XIAOMI SERVER and lock the phone.
The only way is to find a modified ROM without mi cloud application or find the way to deleted application using any software without connect device to web.
I think that it is a big mistake of xiaomi.
If I deleted my account, automatically lets free all device connected, or if your issue is the privacy, instead lock a black screen, create a button that allow you only to wipe all data so all stored informations will be lost and you can use it.
I have a Redmi K20 Pro 8GB RAM 256GBROM
It came with a 12.0 Global MIUI
I ran the bootloader unlocker from Xiaomi, it worked the first time
Then I flashed it with: miui_RAPHAELGlobal_V12.5.2.0.RFKMIXM_edbf5f63e8_11.0.zip
It locked the bootloader.
I now only get the menu: MIUI Recovery 5.0
I can no longer run the bootloader unlock, it fails on the second step and says "Please add your account in MiUI's Settings > Developer options > Mi Unlock status. The phone won't boot even using safe mode.
I don't remember if I ever signed in to the phone with my Mi account, I suspect not.
I'd like to confirm that I used the right ROM, does the K20 Pro and the 9T Pro use the same ROM?
So how can I unlock the bootloader?
What do I need to flash on this to go to 12.5. I don't use What's App so I don't care about those issues.
Is 12.5 and option? If not where can I get the latest ROM I can use?
Supposidely you used Mi Flash. You have two options there, like Clean All and Lock (unfortunately, offered by default) and just Clean All
Apparently you overlooked and left Clean All and Lock and as a result you locked your Bootloader
That's a common mistake and the way many people brick their phones. If anything goes wrong while flashing (wrong firmware, error in download, problems with cable, whatever), the result will be:
- phone cannot boot because of that error in flashing
- you cannot flash again since you already re-locked your Bootloader
Fortunately, I have no first-hand experience but I've seen many similar posts/questions and answers
AFAIK, you have two options now.
One, to look for somebody with EDL authorized account to remotely flash and unbrick your phone.
It will be a paid service and due to the XDA policies all posts providing such contacts are purged from XDA. You have to look to eg Telegram support groups to find them
The other option is in finding and using the so-called firehose file and method.
Tthat way you could unbrick the phone by yourself but you really need to google and/or search on XDA to find more details about
Sorry, that's all I could help you
Hi a while ago i unlocked my boot loader and after a long time not using the phone i locked the boot loader,,im trying to unlocvk again using same account andit keeps saying account not authorised. even though im using same account.??
i also logged into mi website to post there and as soon a click post it says banned from posting??
is there anything right about xiaomi that just works??
How do i get over this hurdle of unlocking boot loader again?
Regards
I guess You have to apply again for unlock with MiFlash_Unlock tool and wait 168 hours. If this account is bugged you can try a new account. As far as i know this is the only method to unlock bootloader on xiaomi phones.
so i deleted account and recreated new account with same number now it says please add your account to miui settings > developer settings >mi unlock status...which i have done and it says successfully added but every time i go to unlock keeps saying the same above thing to add to your account....

That's a strange issue. I've never had problems unlocking the bootloader of my Xiaomi phones.
Try remove your Mi account (in settings) , reboot , then log in again . Then add back the account in developer setting.
And try run as administrator option , when opening Mi unlock app.

once you added the new account dont add it anymore because you are resetting the 168 hours timer. i think you just have to wait 7 days and try to unlock with the mi unlock tool

Tried that too and reinstalled the rom from scratch. Still same issue. I have a feeling it’s my old number and email associated to that account that might be causing the issue as it’s been used before to unlock boot loader? but tomorrow new email new number. Let’s see. Will update.
Regards.
If you have deleted the old account before creating a new one it should not cause a problem. But yeah delete all accounts connected to this phone number and make a new account with a different email. Good luck buddy! Tell us what happened after that
so made new account with gmail and new number and followed these steps and downloaded unlock tool from here and it all worked finally, now it says wait 168 hours
downloaded unlock tool from https://en.miui.com/unlock/download_en.html
and updated it,
followed these instructions and used us as region when creating account but used uk number
one thing i did was make an account via email first on the website and set region to us, once account was created i logged in at the website and added recovery number through there, then logged in to xiaomi account oh phone and it showed up.
Make a Mi account through Google and set the region to US - it's important to set the region to US... EU gave me the rebind error
Add the Mi account to your phone (settings -> Mi Account)
Set the recovery phone on your Mi account and verify the phone number.
Make sure you have OEM Unlocking and USB Debugging enabled
Go to Mi Unlock status -> add account (make sure you're on data)
In your PC download the latest Mi Unlock Tool (click on the gear icon and check for updates + download if there are any)
In the same gear menu check for USB Drivers and install them
Log into the same Mi account in the Unlock tool
Enter Fastboot on your phone
Unlock (it may prompt you to wait 168 hours, but after that you should be able to unlock)
patiently awaiting now

Well I was this close to selling the thing if this last step didn’t work. But now will install eu rom as that’s what I had before and it worked good.
Only reason I changed to iPhone was it worked better with my Audi as the direction part on google maps on android auto took up quite a fair bit of the screen which was annoying.
Still does but worked out how to change it from the right side of the screen to the left which is a tad better I guess.

Hi Guys
a little update
as I am waiting for the days to countdown to unlock bootloader, I decided to go to work on the current miui14 Chinese rom, I deleted all the installed Chinese apps all the bloatware completely, activated google play services, installed play store, installed all my current apps, duplicated this phone and the home screen layout exactly to my iPhone set up, logged into my cards and banking apps without any issues, installed vanced YouTube and premium Spotify and as well as a couple no longer available apps.. set everything to English, deleted baidu and mifly keyboard installed google keyboard, and its exactly like how I would have it as if the boot loader was unlocked with a eu.rom.
now if I can get all this without unlocking bootloader all through a Chinese rom, why would i want to go through the headache of unlocking the bootloader to install a eu rom which is based on this very Chinese rom I believe?
can anyone suggest any reasons as to why anyone would go through the bootloader headache, unless I forgot something that i do that i haven't done via this route that might pop to mind later.
Regards

as I am waiting for the days to countdown to unlock bootloader, I decided to go to work on the current miui14 Chinese rom, I deleted all the installed Chinese apps all the bloatware completely, activated google play services, installed play store, installed all my current apps, duplicated this phone and the home screen layout exactly to my iPhone set up, logged into my cards and banking apps without any issues, installed vanced YouTube and premium Spotify and as well as a couple no longer available apps.. set everything to English, deleted baidu and mifly keyboard installed google keyboard, and its exactly like how I would have it as if the boot loader was unlocked with a eu.rom.
now if I can get all this without unlocking bootloader all through a Chinese rom, why would i want to go through the headache of unlocking the bootloader to install a eu rom which is based on this very Chinese rom I believe?
can anyone suggest any reasons as to why anyone would go through the bootloader headache, unless I forgot something that i do that i haven't done via this route that might pop to mind later.
Regards

I didnt like the Chinese rom because:
1)the search engine (when you swipe up on home screen) is chinese and u cant change it.
2)"Ok Google" voice command was not working (or was buggy) if i remember correctly.
3) There were some other things that were coming up in chinese but i dont remember exactly what.
4) Many apps were not working in the background and i was not receiving notifications even when i locked those apps, put them on "no restriction" and enabled "auto start".
5) I saw many good bonus features that the EliteRom has (gets updates every 1 or 2 weeks, based on xiaomi.eu weekly) and decided to try it. So far i really like it!
But if you are okay with the Chinese ROM, u can stick with it

Make sure you use the app provided in link in my original post as after using a new email and new number I downloaded the unlock app from that link as the one I was using before had a different layout and kept giving that darn issue.

Of course, I'm not getting a message for waiting time, but for not entering my account
