Hi guys, my redmi note 4 arrived yesterday. I do the procedure to unlock the bootloader and today I've received the SMS from xiaomi that allows me to unlock it. But when I set the phone in fastboot and I log in in Miui. Com, the procedure arrives until 50%,then I have this message of error :" Current account is different from the account info on the device."
I don't find anything for redmi note 4,but only how yo fix the same error in note 3.can anyone help me please?
I need to install the global rom, I'm Italian and now there's the china/English rom. Thanks and I apologize for my bad English
You need to flash Chinese developer version to unlock bootloader. Flash with sp_flash_tool
SOLVED :I updated to latest Chinese Rom, then I have sign up in my account and i got unlock!!!!!

This is interesting. I have the global ROM and get the same message after 50%. . . couldn't verify. . . when trying to unlock the bootloader. What would you suggest for me. . . get the Global Developer ROM?
The Xiaomi solution is: if it doesn't work the first time, wait a week, then it will!
@doktorspin, here what I've done:
1)My phone asks me to make an update to the latest version, so I did
2)Then I signed up in MI account in the phone [settings =>account =>mi account]
3)boot on fastboot, opened mi flash, and then it works over 50%, and didn't give me any more the error '' couldnt verify device.... "
So it works for me, but I don't know if I only was Lucky
Your O.P. indicates you have the Chinese stable ROM and Peshkoff recommended that you flash the Chinese developer ROM to fix the "couldn't verify device" problem. I wondered if he'd recommend the Global developer ROM for someone with the same "couldn't verify device" problem but with the Global stable ROM.

Because xiaomi phones are locked, if you wanna unlock them you must do a procedure, after it you must wait an SMS from xiaomi that allows you to unlock bootloader with mi flash

That's not an explanation: it's a rehearsal of Xiaomi policy. Locking the bootloader is definitely not modification friendly.
And I have the SMS. It is useless when the Xiaomi servers are incapable of verifying my data in order to unlock the bootloader. There is no explanation. Locking the bootloader with a hopeless system to unlock it is needless stupidity.
@doktorspin this xiaomi service sucks. They should not unlock bootloader so there were no problems.

No, there are sufficient problems either way.
I want to control my fonts, not use the rubbish someone else packages. I want to monitor my Wi-fi and internet, not live in the hope that Xiaomi is able to protect the phone. I want to be able to change the look and feel of my phone. I want to use CyanogenMod as the operating system: Xiaomi will continue to fiddle with a closed system and won't be able to provide longterm updates.
I set the phone in fastboot and I log in in Miui. Com, the procedure arrives until 50%,then I have this message of error :" Current account is different from the account info on the device."
I have MIUI Global 8.0 Stabil 8.0.4.0( MBFMIDG)
Please help.

There could be a couple of things wrong, are you not following the procedure correctly? You must flash the China Dev fastboot rom to unlock your bootloader. Once you do that you need to log in on the phone to the mi account that you requested the unlock permission for. You need to switch the OEM unlock option on under developer settings and then log into your mi account (has to be the same as on your phone) on the Xiaomi unlocker tool on your PC.
couldn"t verify
Hooray! I managed to unlock the bootloader after 10 days.
SOLVED: I updated to latest Chinese Rom
I solved the problem by following the instructions from this forum here : http://en.miui.com/thread-257729-1-1.html
In fact, my MI MIX was already unlocked for some reasons but I would not know if I did not check. I was getting the same error "Couldn't verify device" stuck at 50%.

Is there any way to switch to china developer rom from Global Dev 7.2.23? Updater won't let me. Or is there a specific chinese rom version that is allowed to flash via updater? Thanks!

First of all thankyou very much Xiaomi for this!!!
Recently Xiaomi has released update for MIUI8 v8.1 2.
You can download it from its official website.
You should be logged in with you mi account in your phone.
I have already unlocked my redmi note 3 with same account so i did have the unlock approval for same account.
So i am not sure whether this will work without unlock bootloader approval.
No harm in trying.....
I was in Global stable rom v8.0.5
Steps:
Download the latest recovery rom v8.1.2 from the official website.
Save it in your internal memory in downloaded_rom folder.
Open updater app.
Select update pakage from menu.
It will update your rom to 8.1.2.
Nothing will erase by this.. All your files and apps will be there after update.
Once phone booted.. Go check the rom version in settings and then in about.
If its v8.1.2 then go to additional settings then developer option.
There you will see Mi unlock status go in it.
It will show locked.
at bottom you will see a button add account to unlock.
Press it, it will associate your Mi account to unlock bootloader request.
Download mi unlock tool.
Boot your phone into fastboot mode.
Login to your account in mi unlock tool and click unlock.
And you have Unlocked your bootloader.
Good news is unlocking bootloader does not erase your internal memory nor it formats your phone.
Enjoy!!!!!
I noticed and tried this earlier also but unfortunately have to report that it did not work. It was worded so that it seemed you didn't need unlock permission but you do.
But unlocking bootloader is already easy and totally legal. Why someone want to do like this way, instead of unlocking by better, easier way and supported by xiaomi?

This is the xiaomi way, it's just that in the new miui there is a screen in developer options that shows your unlock status. In there is a button that pairs your phone with your xiaomi account and then says to download unlock tool to unlock.
I tried it and it doesn't work without unlock permission. It's just a link to the unlock tool. However I think you need to add your phone from here to your account for unlock to work the "normal" way.

Yes, you are right.
You need unlock permissions.
You need unlocktool
You need to bind the phone to the account with unlock permissions (via developer options is 1 way, you can also simply login to MI account via Accounts)

Unlocking unofficially is very easy. But you will have to make downloads of 1.5gb
Here is the link for the guide:

No, unlock permission is for account, you can unlock one device each month. No need for reapply.
Device not supported could be wrong rom version, you need developer version for unlock.

try this. This is neither official nor unofficial. I got permission from mi to unlock bootloader. This is a dump image of devinfo which contains the unlock state. Sort of like a token file. Flash it via edl. Flashing files included.
All you have to do is start your device in edl mode. check you port number, and run unlock.bat file.
Is this still valid and also available for the redmi 4 prime ?
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.?

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

I think ur device drivers are not installed properly. Please check above guide and report.

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.

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.

I recently got my new Redmi Note 5 3/32GB Global version. Simply, I don't like MIUI's 10 performance, so I want to use custom ROM. I logged to my MI Account, downloaded Mi Unlock (v3 and v2).

v2 - it counts to 50% then stop with message "Device unlocked no need to repeat unlock"
Mi Flash - does not see my device, same as fastboot. USB Debugging enabled, currently running on MIUI 10.0.2.0.
+ I tried to create new account, ends up with some error message in chinese.

By the message that you received it looks that your device was shipped unlocked.
What do you type in fastboot mode to say fastboot doesn´t recognice it? provide some screenshot.
Did you check in developer options to verify if is already unlocked?

As far as using mobile data, MI account already recognized my device & successfully passed the "Add account and device"
During unlocking, I made sure to open a hotspot from the phone # which is registered with the MI account.
*edit: it's a Wifi only Pad.. so.. though I do have a choice of Wifi or hotspot during the unlocking process
I have also tried the exact unlocking method from technobuzz link you have provided. Thank you for sharing.

I've got this.. pic with an unlock. Does it mean bootloader is unlocked?
if i choose the second option and enter WiFi information, then choose the first option, it boots as though factory reset has been done (goes through the initial setup) BUT all the data is there. and status shows it's STILL LOCKED.
Now the 2nd time, i let the locked icon stay and boot into fastboot and try installing TWRP, it failed :-(
this is the error i get:
fastboot flash recovery twrp1.img
Sending 'recovery' (33812 KB) OKAY [ 0.842s]
Writing 'recovery' FAILED (remote: 'No support by lock control')

upon connecting the cable to the device (in a fastboot mode) the Unlock tool does NOT see it as being attached eventhough the bootloader drivers are there and shows that device is connected. when i type "fastboot devices" my device shows up as well
*the global Mi Unlock tool takes me to the account info (where i can change password/email/other details
i've tried various versions of MI Unlock tool.. (including batch unlock ones) all give the same result. Just like to add.. i have successfully unlocked Mi Note 7 using the Mi Unlock tool (at the time I didnt have to wait eventhough there was supposedly a 7 day wait)

Have you enabled USB debugging?
Are you using a usb 2 port?
Is the Mi pad usb port 2 or 3?
The Mi Unlock folder must be at the root of the hard drive.
Try running Mi Unlock as administrator.
EDIT:
ANOTHER TOOL

Im so happy, NOSS8! Thank you ever so much!
moving the folder to C:\ must have done the trick AND running it as admin.
there's a 120hr wait then what recovery do i install when there are no officially supported ROMs either

Glad it worked but if there is no recovery or rom for this model, why unlock the bootloader?
You can install a stock Global or other rom but without locking the bootloader and rooting to have a certified play store.
