1)Notes[Things to know]
a) Mi Flash Unlock tool is not fake
b)Unlocking bootloader does not void ur warrenty
c)after unlocking u'll not lose any data
d)No need to go for any developer/china roms
e)if i miss anything i'll update it later
f)if u think that this post does not belong in this section then i'm sorry.. i want every one to find it easily So i posted in here
2)Unlocking ways
u guys has seen many ways for unlocking in our forums
But i'm sorry to say none of them worked for me..If u Succeed in those then u r lucky ..Otherwise go for this...
I'm also the one like u facing this problems like
i)Account verify failed...
ii)Current account is different from Device info on this device...
iii)e.t.c
the unlocking ways i found in our miui is
http://en.miui.com/thread-336034-1-1.html
http://en.miui.com/thread-223915-1-1.html
e.t.c
Some of them had unlocking by above ways..They also works..But!!!!
if u still have problem with unlocking ..then go for My unlocking way
DISCLAIMER ..I'm not at all telling that above or any other ways of unlocking are wrong or not all working
3)My unlocking way[Requirements also]
I'm Having Redmi 3s..And the requirements is Same for all ..Except in recovery
First of all There's no need of Touch ur mobile..Let it be as it is
Like no removing of account/data/not turn of device/nor sync off .... Nothing At all
4)Procedure
Here's the Technique
Trick 1)
I Recomend to Do this All Process in Private/Incognito Browing ..
i)Create A New Mi Account [I Suggest Go for Any Private Browsing/Incognito Window ] And Sign's up...Verify Mobile/Email
ii)Log in to that account in mi forums And create a Nick name/or simply copy paste ur account id as nick name
iii)Don't Log out
iv)Go to this link http://www.miui.com/unlock/apply.php
[[Those who have Problem to open this page like "u r automatically redirected to Download page" Has to follow my recomendation in order that log out from ur previous accounts And clear ur browsing data of mi pages]]
Fill up the Forum..
In the description like ...[[i understand the risks of unlocking and i request to give me unlock permissions]] Like any thing u wish
verify phone via OTP ...if ur Account is verified and it says Proceesing And u receive a sms with in 10 days then u r Half Done
All U HAve to do Wait 2 Minimum Days.I Feel Sorry for that But A new account creation is neccesary in my trick [COZ i succeded in that]
After 2 days Check ur phone For SMS Like "You Have Been granted For permissions To unlock ur device .." Then Ur 75% Done
v) Simply Download this attachment
MiFlashUnlock_1.0.1225.2 IT IS OF CHINEESE VERSION
If the Download link is not working Inform me Or u can download Latest Mi FlashUnlock tool ..But i didn't test in that ..i guess it also works
vi)Run it as administrator / no need at all [[I'm just giving what i did]]
log in with the account which u CREATED PREVIOUS TIME AND APPLY FOR UNLOCK PERMISSIONS
vii) Connect ur device in fastboot mode..If u dont have fastboot drivers Install Mi flash tool lastest version ...if still problem persists Disable Driver Signature enforment in windows by follow up this tutorial http://en.miui.com/thread-237673-1-1.html
viii)If it shows unlock button then click on it..With in a second u r device is unlocked..then u r very luckiest guy in this world..else u'll see again ur old Friend error "Current account is different from Device info on this device..."
Mostly U wont get error ..COZ the main trick here is creating new accont get permissions and dont log in with that new account in any device except in mi flash unlock after getting permissions......Because of that account does not have any connected devices..And this trick only works for one new mail=one unlock...After that u'll get ur old friend error in chineese
Trick 2
I Feel Sorry That u didn't succeded in my first trick..Here's an another way for u
1)Again Create a new account Apply for permissions Dont log in to any device..after/before sms confirmation
Step 2)open only that Chinnese link i provided[[Run it as administrator ]]..Log in to that account
3)If u see unlock button immediatly Disconnect ur net Connect ur phone in fastboot then click on unlock button..u'll see an error of 0*500 something now connect to internet then again click on unlock button
u'll 100% unlock ur device ..
This Trick is a combination of my technique and other two senior members [above link ] in this forum
If u r busy guy like me and cant wait for another two days ..then try with the previously new account details as login details in step 2 ...but i cant assure u unlock may be 50-50 chances...
5)Proofs&Screenshots
Attachment is below
6)Bonus
1)At the time of mi account creation create two accounts and apply for permissions on both accounts it's saves time right..in case if u didn't succed in first trick
2)After the device is successfully unlocked download this TWRP and use this command in minimal adb/whatever u have
fastboot boot recovery.img
Copy the Code
to back up ur device with out system modifications
3)that file was not mine ..it belongs to another moderator.. And the recovery is of redmi 3s
4)Keep the system partition read only and backup the device ..might be useful at future
5)After backup u can flash the recovery ..u have the idea about remianing thing right !!!
7) CREDITS
All credits Goes for Mi forum moderators,Developers,And Everyone.
A special Credits Goes To my friend SivaPrabhas
8) My Queries to Developers,Moderators,Anyone
Here's What i did.... before i have locked bootloader..i downloaded fastboot images put the device in edl mode and change the recovery file img to twrp img and rename it to recovery.img..And flash the All os files.. flashed successfully but still it shows stock recovery
that's why i'm wondering about that ..And i changed the boot file to twrp image .. it flashed the files succesfull But it stuck on mi logogo and lead me to qualocom diagonostic mode 900E Because of partioning mismatch [i guess ] luckily i'm having fastboot coz the flasher first flashes the bootloader and mbn files
i initiate fastboot oem edl command then i'm in edl mode and flashed the device to previous state ..After that i stopped the work it's a new phone guys [1 week ] i got feared
So my query is how it still can't boot into twrp recovery mode if it's flashed successfull in edl mode [i checked the log file ]
I guess because of encryption process of system partition after flashing ..so again what i did is after flashing the fles immediatly i boot on to recovery still the device automatically loops .. and start encryption
Thank u everyone...Sorry for the long post & if i did something wrong ..
Hope This can help many ..
Kindly notify me whether it succeeds or fails
Peace Out,,,,,,,,
Nice

"First of all There's no need of Touch ur mobile..Let it be as it is

"Dont log in to any device..after/before sms confirmation"
So, should I keep my older account logged in? I'm confused and I don't want to end up creating more accounts.

I did not follow this method. I used the standard approach with one small deviation. I requested unlock and received it in 2 days. When I tried to use the miunlock tool it gave me an error about "Current account info is different...". I just waited for two weeks and tried again. Viola! It unlocked without any hassles. I think it just needs few days for the unlock approval to actually "migrates" to the account.

Finally succeeded. This time it showed 'No Mi Phone connected'. But using the old unlocked version did the trick.
I support trick 2 (disconnecting your internet)...worked with me before you posted it, and this is also explained on MI forum...please thank them too if someone succeeded via this method.

To all who had issues while tryin to unlock bootloader in Redmi 3S do the following
1. Enable developer mode by clicking on MIUI version in About phone
2. Inside developer mode ( ( within additional settings ) activate OEM unlocking and USB debugging
3. Remove all fingerprint stored, also remove any lockscreen patterns if any
4. Under OEM status there is MI Unlock status, click on activate device in that tab ( I don't remember specifically what the words are, as my phone is unlocked it just shows Unlocked)
5. Open MI Unlock version 1.1 , login using the same MI account details as in your phone and the froum
6. Turnoff phone, enter fastboot mode by pressing down arrow and powerbutton together
7. Connect phone using USB cable
8. In MI unlock tool it will show MI phone connected, proceed to unlock

From my hard time unlocking Bootloader and flashing recovery until first custom ROM of 3s, I'll share some advice
- If stuck on 50% at BL unlock, >use chinese dev rom (I used this: "land_images_V7.5.1.0.MALCNDE_20160629.0000.25_6.0_cn">MiFlash has different names but it's all the same program, and if you wanna flash something, you have to run the .bat of the extracted ROM first! >And then start the MiFlash Prog. >sign into your MI account at the dev rom in your phone >activate 'find device' and all other account options there which you can tick there at login >stop account sync of the rom and start it again >go to i.miui.com and sign in >RETRY
Custom Recovery & custom ROM
- Flashing the Chinese TWRP will cause bootloop to the dev rom ! And you likely cannot boot into recovery by just a button combo, so just reboot the recovery >using recovery< once, after you had confirmed to make changes on system (at startup of recovery) >> And keep your ROM plus Gapps on your SDCARD as you cannot access the recovery easily, if not by >fastboot reflash< or working ROM (using 'reboot recovery' in it, later) ! Do not flash Gapps after you booted the ROM already, as this will cause Gapps to fail!
Enjoy~

Is it mandatory to use china dev ROM? I am on global dev. Checked the ROM zip, it contain recovery img. Its just inaccessible due to locked bootloader.

you must use this exact rom, at least this was the one i was using. and there is a guide where it says how to flash it with miflash but i lost the link. "land_images_V7.5.1.0.MALCNDE_20160629.0000.25_6.0_cn_e5777810ad" from en.miui.com
and yes, afaik you do have to flash this rom with miflash that's mandatory. chinese dev rom is must.
HOnest Solution...
Honest Solution..
If you got Permission for unlocking just wait for 6 to 10 days after getting the permission..
No matter which rom u are on..
You will unlock successfully.. Just follow the process of i.mi.com.
Well i was also facing the same issue, what really helped me here is,
1. Removed MI Account after getting unlocking permissions,
2. Re-Added MI Account by using the mobile no. (Logging in using Mobile no. is mandatory)
3. Located the phone from i.mi.com (find device option)
4. Switched off the phone and booted into fastboot mode.
5. Opened MI Unlock and logged in here from Mobile No. and unlocked.
Got success.

unlocked boot loader successfully . I got code week ago and i had same problem stopped at 50%.
Finally i decided to install Chinese developer rom but for last time i thought let me try unlocking again with global rom. Fortunately it was a success.
Suggestion:
- allow unlock bootloader option in developer setting.
-when ever u try unlocking.Try login with phone number ,email id and mi account code.(three try every day)
-do the same with three acc in i.mi.com(locate your phone.)
-remove finger print security.(remove security)
-And have some patients. It will get unlocked when xiomi update their database.
-i got two different codes with my email id and phone no. I don't know why i have only one account in mi.com.But if it shows u"u need to apply for unlock code "again then get it.
really frustating.
I was really surprised that I got the permission for unlocking the bootloader just 30 min after applying for request. But got stuck at 50%. Tried all solutions. I'm getting that "Current account is different from the account info on the device". Somebody please help. It's already two weeks since I got the permission. Also tried internet on/off method but no use.

1. Try removing other devices from your Mi Account for the moment, add them later if you want.
2. It takes a week or so to update your information on the Indian Xiaomi servers.
3. Make sure you're using the same account in which you got the permissions to unlock and the same account is logged-in in your Mi Account app.
4. Enable Developer options and tick "Allow OEM unlock"
Personally, I waited for 6 days after getting permissions. I was also getting stuck at 50% with a few error messages but after waiting, the unlock was successful.
I had tried a lot of things that included, switching internet on/off, factory resetting MIUI, trying multiple times, reinstalling drivers, maybe I flashed the fastboot ROM too, a few times. But after all of that, few guys suggested me to wait for a week or so, so that my device's information may be updated with my account, I did that and got it unlocked after a couple of days without any problem.

Hello guys,
Purchased a secondhand redmi 2gb MTK phone of gumtree two months ago. It had a lot of bloatware and i recently flashed a new rom. I followed this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kq94VhG4UqA video but installed this rom .
Everything got flashed ok and I booted the phone to set it up. Go through language selection, locale and wifi but it does not let me get passes the next step. It keeps saying "This device is associated with an existing Mi Account (161****933) enter password to verify device.
Unlock number ###########etc".
I can't contact the seller as I purchased the phone over two months ago and have lost there details.
Can someone help, just want to get it to work, don't mind installing any rom so long as it works.?

Hi guys,
Could anyone help before I give up and destroy the phone?Adarsh tried but we could not get in to EDL mode.
I got the unlock request approved by Xiaomi today but when I tried to unlock, lo and behold it said that it can not unlock as the phone is not associated with my mi account.
Going crazy trying to sort this out.

Thing is Xiaomi keeps bootloader locked, to track phone through mi account. If in case phone is stolen, the thief couldn't flash another rom to use the phone. Now however this is good implementation but it's pain in the ass for us too..
You are in a situation where, xiaomi needs the same mi account that was created when phone was used first. Since u don't have that account, so won't be able to unlock phones bootloader officially. Without unlocking bootloader u won't b able to flash rom. Now ur only choice is unofficial unlock and that I think is bit buggy.
Unlock it unofficially and change the rom, thats it. Also before flashing any firmware zip in future please confirm with the uploaded that bootloader will not relock. As some firmware do relock the bootloader.
Now head to the unofficial unlock thread and follow the steps.. Happy unlocking
http://xiaomitips.com/guide/unlock-redmi-note-3-bootloader-without-official-permission/
I think ur device drivers are not installed properly. Please check above guide and report.
Regards.
Hey guys,
He has Mediatek device. For MTK there is no EDL mode. Just find MIUI older versions (like 7.X) according to your device and flash it vja SP Flash tool. You will need fastboot rom, but to flash, you have to turn off your phone and keep pressing vol+ button. Detailed instructions you can find together with the rom in en.miui.com
For mtk users (and possibly snapdragon) this work 100% . install clean first(old) china developer official firmware from miui.com (it may also work with new firmware or stable ) and open phone in fastboot mode and run from "remove mi cloud tool " _Upgrade.bat Done ! Create new or login with a real / good mi acount and activate associate the phone with new mi account. Xiaomi will delete old account and done . After that you can deactivate association and the phone is clean clean Use this only if the phone is truly yours !

First remove your MI account & do a factory reset, check whether its asking for a new account or the same account used earlier.
If its asking for new account then simply skip it, reset again & handover to new owner.
Mi Account login in second hand mo.
Do not worry guys if anyone buy a second hand redmi mobile when u get it that time replace ur mobile number place of first owner mo. number. U would be access mobile setting and all things. Now mi account id remain will be same which was in past just ur new mo number will be linked that mi id of second hand device.
If u have got the unlock permission by sms but not able to bind then follow the instructions:
1) First goto mi bootloader by holding volume button and power button.
2) connect your phone to windows laptop
3) Goto device manager and under connected devices search for Android device... Then update the driver and now u can see it is updated to Xiaomi.
4) Use a older version of mi flash tool.
5) This will unlock your device
not working bro, on 86012 error
Where exactly are u stuck? U don't have to bind the account. Older version of mi flash tool doesn'trequire it
Is it really safe to use an old version of the unlocker for the note 4 though?

Yes I guess. The newer version is just made to be compatible with windows 10 and also account binding is compulsory. So if u want to still use new version of unlock tool then good luck as u might have to wait for days, months ,year's for it to sync and bind. Haha

When I got the permission to unlock the bootloader, I didn't have time to do so. Did it after 20 days or so, and got the "86012some Chinese letters)" error. Tried everything:
1. new Unlock tool and old unlock tool.
2. Sign out from Account and sign in again.
3. Turn off find device and then turn it on again.
4. Reset the phone.
5. Updated.
And pretty much everything I could find on youtube and forums.
And then tried the last thing.
Wait for 5-10 days.
I didn't even bothered binding the Account again for 10 days.
Then attempted just by turning on 'oem unlock', 'USB debugging', 'USB debugging security. Didn't even touched the bind Account thing.
Attempted the unlock and voila, it worked.
I've unlocked 3 phones in the same way, with the latest unlock tool, without binding, each one of them showed the same error. And tried all of the above steps 1 to 5 in two of the phones. Didn't bother doing the update for third phone. And the same steps worked for each one.
Don't know what it is? But its successful everytime. Will try on more and will tell.
I had facing the same issue too, i just wait for 7 days and did nothing since the first failed one.
And after 7 days, today i tried the same way and unlocked.

The key to unlock bootloader is patience.
Just wait fr 5 days n try again yu will see d magic
guys,, i was facing same problem. I also agree that 8012... status does not matter to unlocking bootloader. I was tried all but fail after granted permission. I was tried daily. after 5 days when I tried with old mi unlock tool I got error at 50%. After that restarted my phone and clicked on settings and in developer menu, I watched i clicked on allow unlock bootloader but I forgot to click on usg debbuging. after clicked it I went for fastboot with old unlock tool and I got success. thankyou.
Try my method you will get success. hit like. stay tune. tandob is here to help you guys.
So, guys, my gf as a typical non geek gf managed to factory reset the phone and now she's unable to remember the log-in credentials in order to make it usable, so the phone is stuck on the familiar screen "this device is locked"
Phone is not hard bricked, is only locked by bootloader and the Xiaomi account.
Is this lock IMEI-based ? Is it bypass-able ?
Should I try to buy a dev acc and flash it through EDL - Test Point or it won't unlock unless we log-in with the bound account ?
Should I sell it to the local repair shop in order to be used for parts?
What should I do ?
Thanks in advance.
Login Mi.com , login, check your info (email, number and ID), If the phone ask ID, copy the ID from the account info. If password lost, reset password and put email. If it say can't connect network, flash ROM with miflash . There is many video on youtube. just search "Locked Mi Account" on youtube. And there is a guides on XDA guides.
final and simple solution?
flash the fastboot rom using miflash.
everything will be reset/ all data will be lost /phone will be factory reset
I tried flashing it but needs to log in to a dev account in order to flash it guys ... That's what I'm asking is that I'm aware of purchasing and flashing via fastboot and the whole procedure because of ANTI RB in my own Xiaomi, but will fastboot flashing via EDL and purchasing a dev account will solve the problem or it'll be flashed normally and when booted and connected to internet will lock up again??

you are just thinking to much... it doesnt ask dev account! simply flash the beryllium fastboot rom of atleast miui10.2.x global stable (2.6gb) via miflash tool released may2018. and skip the buttom LOCK from bottomRIGHT...
also
- poco don't have ARB Sh!t, so don't worry
- EDL cannot be done (unless you know how to remove the backpanel to short / test points and have authorize Xiaomi Account)

It won't flash because it needs edl authentication ... What I'm asking is that buying an authorized account will solve my problem or will successfully flash the phone and then ask again for mi account authentication...
I have the same issues,please tell me if you fix it ?

Hello everyone.
Following is the list of events:
1. Got the China K20 Pro with China Rom.
2. Unlocked the bootloader the normal way.
3. Flashed Indian Rom but accidentally left "Clean and lock" checked.
4. Phone was not booting because it said "This version of MIUI cant be used etc".
5. Tried to recover with MIAssist .
6. Now phone says "System has been destroyed" .
Now when I try to unlock it again it Mi Unlock tool says ""Wait 30 days"
I just want to ask the community.
QUESTION : Will I be able to unlock this phone again after 30 days using the same account I used the first time?
DID MY ACCOUNT REMAIN BINDED TO THE PHONE AFTER THE UNLOCK?
I want to unlock it and flash it with Mi Flash tool.
Thank you for reading.

There is a thread somewhere here advising to use old version of Miflash tool that will allow you to flash china miui again so your phone is usable again and start from scratch

Doesn't work. Tried
Do you think I can unlock the phone with the same account after 30 days? Or will I get the "You phone is not bound to this phone " error

In theory you should be OK to unlock the phone, otherwise at this point, you would get that error now and not see the wait 30 days to unlock message.
However those people that have done the same as you and posted on here have used the test point method to boot into EDL mode and then flash via an authorised account. I'm not aware that anyway has had the patience to wait the 30 days to see if they can unlock.

I thought so too but I checked it with another K20 and it still gave the message"Try again after 30 days" which makes me think that it might not unlock my phone after 30 days

I have exactly the same experience with your device last 2 months ago. I just got lucky because it was last days of the month 29th day. Tried to unlock again the on the 1st day of the the next month and unlocking bootloader was successful.
You can still unlock it using the same mi account.
Flashed again indian ROM thru fastboot but just choose clean all.

YES!
1. It was already binded with the mi account the first time i flashed it and experience bricked. No option to boot the system.
2. Unlock again same account. Successfully unlocked bootloader.
3. Flashed again (clean all only) with indian ROM, phone successfully booted normally.

That message is just because you can only unlock one phone a month with a standard MIUI account.
Because you've already unlocked a phone this month you'll see that message for any phone you try and unlock before 1st November

Okay so you mean that If I wait a month I can unlock it without opening the phone right?

For your case yes.
As mentioned above also by other senior member.
If you flashed it and bricked it this October then By November try to unlock it again and hopefully unlocking will be successfull. Then flash again with your preferred rom.

For me also this is happened two days before you need to wait for 30 days or you need to EDL testpoint method. I fixed by EDL testpoint method there is one Russian guy with authorized MI account he did it for $15.

How can I use my phone when it is dead?
The phone still shows connected in my Mi Cloud. Is that good enough?

Actually after the bootloader unlock I never signed in with any Mi account. What I mean to say is that after that one time I never messed with the Mi account at all.
And I realllllllyyy dont want to disassemble my new phone . So im gonna take the chance
Ok.. so this is what happened to me some days ago..
•Use old miUnlock tool(to bypass 30days timer)
• Use "MiFlash tool pro" to flash firmware. (you don't need to go in EDL mode because it flashes from fastboot mode.)
Keep in mind do not select 'Clean and lock again' xD
