Hey guys.
Here is the story ... I received my Redmi 3 Pro device back from the Xiaomi because it was sent there due to faulty camera. When I turned on the device it said This device is locked and there is a little button Activate this device. After that the screen shows that the device may be associated with existing Mi Account, which is my account. When I enter the password and tap on Activate I get an error saying Couldn't verify Mi Account ID. Can't connect to network.
How the hell can I connect to network if I even can't get past this screen.
Does anybody have an idea? I bought the device months ago and couldn't use it even for a day because it took them almost three months to replace the camera.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Try to use a sim card with mobile data and no pin. It should automatically connect to the internet and allow you to activate your phone.

Thanks ... worked like a charm
In my case it happened after disabling some stock Mi apps on an officially unlocked phone. Trying to connect would fail because the required dependencies were not available. The easy solution was to reboot into the twrp recovery and delete the file /data/system/users/0/package-restrictions.xml — the file gets recreated after boot with the default stock package restrictions.

I'm not able to use MIUI anymore because of the inability to enter my mi account's password.
So a month ago, I created a new mi account by using my phone number cuz i was not able to unlock my bootloader officially. I then did a factory reset but now whenever i start my phone, it asks for Mi account verification password... So even when i enter the password, it shows incorrect password and i cant get past this part so I'm stuck at this startup screen and cant use my phone at all. I even tried resetting my account password but it says "You've exceeded the number of verification attempts allowed within 24 hours." even after waiting for 24 hours before another attempt. It still shows the same error after a month. I think the reason is not verifying the new number after creating mi account.
I would like to add that I've tried contacting Xiaomi customer service quite a few times but they were of no use so I flashed an early MIUI firmware and i was able to access my phone but it was showing no IMEI number so I unofficially unlocked my bootloader and installed CM13. I'm now on LOS14.1 but wanna switch back to MIUI cuz of camera quality. So is there any way that I can use MIUI ever again?
Please help
Try this. Take out your SIM card and don't enable WiFi at the setup screen. It should bypass the account login page.

I tried that as well but it seems that this mi account thing registers itself with the IMEI number so no matter what I do, it asks for the password in the startup.

I really don't know how Xiaomi expect you to login through their system without any SIM/data or WiFi connection.

Thanks. I'll give it a try. Don't have Wi-Fi right now so I'll have to wait for few days I guess.
One question though: After flashing with the oldest firmware, I lose IMEI so do I need to update through Wi-Fi and then create a new mi account?
Hi ! Today i bought my Pocophone F1 and updated it to MIUI 10. Created MI account, entered my google account and downloaded Android 9 update. After the installation of the update i no longer can pass the first settings screen. There is a Confirm your password section where the keyboard is only numerical and cant enter any of my passwords cause they all contain letters. I cannot install another ROM because my bootloader is locked and cannot unlock it from this state. I can access all of my accounts from computer, just dont know what is this only numerical password ... Would be glad if anyone can help !
Hi, I have exactly the same problem and conditions. Today I got the smartphone, registered on the page, updated with:
miui_POCOF1Global_8.11.29_14c6931f61_9.0.zip.
(MIUI10/choose lang/chose your region/connect to network/terms and c./checking for updates/copy apps&data(skiped)/checking info/confirm your passsword)
Wipe data did not help.
I've been desperate for hours. Please help

Its seems is somehow google account related. Managed to flash the same ROM (cause its the only one i can flash with locked bootloader) with XiaomiADB and MI account dissapeared, but only Google one left. It let you go without wifi connection to the end but just when you press the last button to go to the homepage it says you cannot because there is a google profile here and Couldnt been able to bypass it cause all the techniques dont work here, like for example the talkback gesture and SSID copy stuff. Tried even to remove my device from my google profile, but with no luck for the moment ...

I suspect more likely a numeric password, which would have to be connected to Xiaomi-account.(it's google)
When I turn off the wi-fi I get a message that the phone is assigned to a Xiaomi-account with the number xyz (account number is not this asked password) which can not be checked.
Ive send the device back to the seller. Actualy i contacted Xiaomi global support, but the bad news is they cannot understand the problem i have with the device, despite the description i gave them. I wrote them if the seller cannot fix it and decline to send a new device to give them IMEI and Mi account to unlock the bootloader since i cannot access the device. I doubt instaling official rom void warranty. We will see tomorrow.
Have someone any idea?
To try to remedy to this you might want to follow these steps. Do it in quick succession.
1. Press Power Button and Vol Down simultaneously to force shut down the device.
2. When the screen switches off quickly press Power Button and Vol Up, this will give you access to Recovery Mode
3. From there, you need to wipe your data (factory reset)
Here you use volume buttons to navigate and power button to select.
I don't know of any other way for your situation.
Hi I've the same solution there is the solution
Download on your pc the fastboot rom

i had a similar problem after unlocking the bootloader, i had to log in to my mi account which gave me a normal keyboard but to then go online i had to enter my wifi password which gave me no keyboard at all.
i used a usb keyboard with an otg adapter to circumvent the issue, worked fine but shame on xiaomi for such a bad software...
Hi. Yesterday evening I decided to debloat the Mi 11 Lite phone using the ADB console. Unfortunately, I did not notice that the phone was logged in to the xiaomi account and probably because of that I cannot unlock the phone now (I deleted the Mi Account and Mi Cloud apps, among others). I now have a black screen with a padlock and a choices:
- activate the device
- wifi settings
and below is some unlock code that I do not know where to enter.
After selecting "activate the device" I have to enter the password to the xiaomi account. Unfortunately, after entering the password, the phone locks up again after a second, even though the password is correct. I logged into my xiaomi account via www on my computer and removed the device from the list (there was only one to choose from) but that didn't help either.
I wanted to reinstall deleted apps via adb, but can't - adb can't see the device, probably developer options have been disabled.
Windows also does not see the device, I cannot download photos, etc. So the device is visible, but after entering the phone icon it is empty.
What can I do? The phone wipe is really the last resort
There are two ways to unlock account lock
One way
Operate directly on this phone
1. Click "wifi settings" to connect a wifi or insert a SIM card
2. Click "activate the device" and enter the password of your Xiaomi account
3. Click the Activate button
Another way
Operate on the Xiaomi cloud service website
1. Log in to your Xiaomi account on this website
2. Click "Find My Device"
3. Tap your locked device
4. Click the "three dots" on the top right
5. Click "Turn off Find Device"
6. Click "wifi settings" to connect a wifi or insert a SIM card
7. If the device still appears locked, try restarting the device
Hi.
Thank you for time in helping me.
The first solution doesn't work for me. As I mentioned filling the correct password unlocks the phone only for one second. Second solution doesn't work either. I see location of the phone on the map, but there is no "turn off find my device" option. Instead there is "turn on" option
UPDATE!
Although there was "turn on option" in find my device section, I clicked it and phone location has been turned off! And then instantly the phone was unlocked! Thank you very much.
what if I forgot my password and I can't connect to MI cloud and the above screen is still on the home screen?
how, in that case, to activate the phone regardless of the fact that I don't have to save the account?

I was able to use my second phone, where I also had Mi Accounts enabled, to change my forgotten password .
To authenticate, Xiaomi sent me the code by SMS to my previously registered phone number:
Bootloop Fastboot (stock) / Phone locked for security reason (Xiaomi.eu)
Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE (Lisa) Stock 12.5.8 EEA Bootloader unlocked, Orange Fox recovery and Magisk Canary 25.2 I was running the same set-up for a couple of months, by only updating when newer Magisk was released or some module. I never had any...
forum.xda-developers.com
You could probably also try to login via PC, and there should be a usual option like I forgot my password, that Xiaomi send you a link to your previously registered mail address, with a token to authenticate and for changing your password
thanks for the reply
Hello,
I have a realme 7 pro and this morning, after I turned it on, I entered the required password after rebooting and it rejected it.
The last time I used the phone was yesterday and I neither changed the password (it has been the same for months), nor did update.
How on earth is this possible?
I have never modified the system files since I bought the phone (no modding) and the bootloader is still locked (that's why I think I can't access the fast boot mode).
I can only access engineering mode and recovery mode.
Thank you in advance for your help.

That's strange. Phone rejects the password even if it entered correctly if someone has tried to enter the password incorrectly earlier without your knowldge.
Please allow some time and then enter it again.

First of all, thank you for your reply!
I wasn't aware of this defense mechanism of smartphones, however to my knowledge no one has tried to access my phone by mistaking the password...
In any case, I will wait 24 hours without making any further attempts and then try again to enter it
I just tried again but nothing.
To your knowledge is there any company that performs such unlocks? I am only interested in recovering the data which is very important, otherwise I would have formatted it....

There are a few problems with such requests:
They often come from people with stolen devices (knowingly or not, no judgements here)
It's borderline illegal, which contests our 'do not get us in trouble' rule
There's often payment involved with such services (and rarely any guarantees), also against our rules
You'll find several "tools" to "help you" but they are often bundled with malicious software
In short, though we do support some good old exploit sparring, the topic resides in a dark corner. Nonetheless it's good to ask around, perhaps there's other people with the same problem (2 years after release, unlikely) or someone has heard of a rare bug related to the matter.
IMHO your best bet would be getting in touch with Realme (find them here). Definitely keep us updated if you do!
I also have this Realme 7 Pro (issue/bug? IDK) since January 11, 2023
I have set face recognition but useless after rebooting phone.
In Realme UI recovery mode v1.2, before using any commands like
1. Install from storage
2. Online update
3. Wipe data
Phone asks for lockscreen password FIRST. Even PIN is what I set.
Also I need to recover my data first before doing ALL Methods to gain access again.
Please help us.
Edit: I just add more details about mine.
RMX2170
Android 11
non rooted, I dont have plan to modify first.
That's why I did not enable "USB Debugging" before I encountered this "lockscreen PIN problem". Which is I need right now to establish connection between android & pc.
(Forgot password is also useless they just recommend to bring this to Service Center to factory reset but, goodbye files.)

Unfortunately, I am also in this situation, I can basically only use *#899#
For now, I contacted Realme who referred me to a local shop. I have contacted them but am still waiting for a response. I have a hunch that we will lose the data....
If the device is encrypted, you can not access data without unlock. Maybe Realme have something they can flash to EDL to unlock the phone and access data….
good morning everyone,
i tried to unlock bootloader from a redmi 5 but can't do it. i passed three days to find a solution.
i tried many way without results.
i installed mi flash unlock but that's telling me that i have to unlock mi status. Every time i did it, i have the same message " connect to network and try again". but i 'm connected on network with wifi disconnect. I can access to my mi account on the net so no problem from this.
i also tried with xiaomitool but i think that the problem is the same.
After my day work, i will try to create another account with my daughter phone number and see if i can fix the problem.
Have you got any suggestions that will help me, please?
i thank you by advance.
Bests regards .
PS : sorry for my english cause i'm french.
Check here if you can locate the phone.
Use an email address rather than the phone number.
If you create a new account choose USA as country.
Do a factory reset.
Check that everything is correct.
Unlock bootloader
Xiaomi Community
new.c.mi.com
Apply for unlocking Mi devices
en.miui.com
ok...
i did a reset factory, create a new account with a us country and a temporary us number.
and that still not working.
i also tried with my wife number and status quo.
i wanted to install twrp but i can't. i have a error message that tell me that impossible.
i red on the twrp page that this redmi 5 got a dm-verity install.
Do you think that could be my problem?
4 days working on this problem and i start to be a litte upset
Any suggestions please.?
i thank you by advance.
Bests regards
I think that as long as I have not associated my mi account with my phone, I could not go any further.
i can"t do anything without this step .
I noticed that when I restored the factory settings, I had Italian applications pre-installed. Do you think this could be the cause?

Hello.
Status quo...
actually, with the vpn connection, I had a little hope. The error message is slower. 4/5 sec of beating before the message.
Do you have any suggestions ?
please?
thanks
is it because i have a french phone number that's not working?
any suggestions for my problem?
May I reconfirm with the situation here? Are you unable to add Mi Account on Mi Unlock or unable to unlock the phone due to other issues?
