Hi everyone,
I'm having a lot of trouble getting my bootloader unlocked and I've tried literally everything. It stops at 50% when verifying and says "Current account is different from the account info on the device". My device is a Redmi Note 3 Special Edition aka 'kate'. I bought the phone from HonorBuy. Here's a screenshot: http://server.florens.be/Screenshot_2017-01-25-18-31-37-155_com.android.settings[1].png
Here's a list of what I've tried:
Removing driver signature check (using the commands)
Reflashing the latest dev version of MIUI (downloaded with my PC, just to be sure)
Waiting 7 days (At the moment it's 9 days since I received the SMS)
Enabling Enable OEM Unlock and USB debugging in developer settings
Going to http://i.mi.com (more on that later)
Loging in with my phone number/UID on the unlock tool and phone
Removing all security (fingerprint password, PIN, patern lock and even app lock)
Install ADB from the troubleshooting section in this subreddits wiki (it said it was already installed)
Install drivers with XiaoMiFlash (and reinstalling them from within the tool)
Completing the security check-up on http://i.mi.com > Account
Using a different PC (kind of: I used a VM and it gave a different error, also on 50%, will try a real different PC ASAP)
Redownloading the unlock tool
Enableing find device
Running MiFlashUnlock.exe as adminstrator
Flashing latest stable version of MIUI, including a neccesary wipe
And yes: turning it off and on again
Here's a list of odd things I found out (if you hadn't noticed yet, I like lists):
When I go to Developer options > Mi Unlock status and click Add account and device after a short while it says "Couldn't verify, wait a minute or two and try again"
When I go to http://i.mi.com and go to Find device it is off by a couple 100 meters and it has never changed (haven't tested at school yet, only at home)
It's located when it's off and the date and time is right and it also shows as 'online' in 'connected devices'.
MiPCSuite says "Connect your device via USB" when I connect it then a bit later "You need to update your device to use Mi PC Suite, Update your device before connecting".
When I go to the MIUI forum and go to settings the MIUI version and device is not automatically filled in (which people on the forum say, is part of the problem)
Any help is greatly appreciated. If I missed anything I'll at it to the list.
Same phone, same store, same problem..
Previously, I had a Kenzo successfully unlocked. I used the same account to log-in.

Hloo everyone. I applied for bootloader unlock on 21-6-2016 and received confirmation message on 24-6-2016. But I didn't tried to unlock my bootloader for 2 months. Now , after 2 months when I am trying to unlock, I am receiving the 50% error. Can it be because I didn't tried for 2 months. If so then should I apply with a different account? Or should I wait for some more time?
I am using MIUI 8 6.8.18 Beta.
it might be related to a driver problem, install mi pc suite , then with the phone plugged into usb boot into both recovery and fastbook letting the drivers install both times, then try to unlock again.
i tried what you told but still getting the error
I possibly remember that it had to be done within 30 days, however, do not worry, you may wish to try the unofficial method.
One thing you could try is to uninstall all drivers on your PC and then install Mi PC Suite which has all the necessary drivers. Also you can try with the SIM with which you obtained permission inserted in the phone.
As for the 30 day period, it is there to prevent bulk unlocking of phones by resellers. Using your account, you can unlock one device per 30 days.
I m getting same error and stucked on 50% too. But i did some steps and everything gonna fine
First go to mi cloud find device on pc and remove all other xiaomi device.only leave the device which u are using.
Now try to find your device. If it is working then download a global devloper recovery rom and put it in your device in root storage
Now backup everything on your device
Now go to miupdater app in phone and install the downloaded global devloper rom
After successful installation login your mi account which u have permission
And now just after 20-30 after u logged in your account to the phone. Boot it into fastboot mode.
Connect your device with pc with original data cable
Open that unlock tool
Login your id which have Permission(both ids must be same phone and tool ids)
When phone connected click on unlock
And now it will successfully unlock your phone withot error
This worked for me at 100% success rate.
Follow steps on your own risks.
Tell me for any help.
Hi everyone.
1 - After my xiaomi redmi 3 was in bootloop I flashed it with v8.0.2.0.LAIMIDG.
2 - At the first boot, when I had to sign in to my Mi Account, the phone started saying "Checking Find device status...", without letting me even try to sign in. I tried to wait but nothing change, it continues checking.
3 - So i tried to flash the phone again but it doesn't work now: with every image version and every MiFlash version I try in MiFlash says [error:"Flash tz error"]. I've seen that this probably happens because my bootloader is still locked.
4 - So I tried to unlock it with the standard procedure with MiFlashUnlock, and after all the procedure I received the message, but when I try to unlock it says: "Couldn't verify device, current account is different from the account info on the device". So I've seen that this is because I can't login into my account in the phone (see section 2).
5 - I noticed that I'm able to access the apps and the settings of the phone even if I'm in the mi account login screen (see section 2) holding the center button and going to google now and searching for settings or app names. I tried from the settings to reset the phone but it doesn't allow me since I'm not logged, I also tried to update the phone with the update app, but it doesn't let me.
How can I wipe my phone or do something to fix the problem?

Got same issue with my RN3Pro Kate, is there any solution?
I have Mi account and managed to unlock mi5s last year.
So now I try to unlock Redmi Note 3 Pro SD, it says my device not supported.
It's it true RN3P no longer can be unlock the official way?
Not really... I just re-unlocked mine yesterday. Try with China Dev rom. I was having issues with global dev and global stable. Unlocking just couldn't move ahead of 50%. But with China dev, the process was completed in less than two minutes on the very first attempt.

I'd add that the Kate version (Special Edition) doesn't have a China dev rom, and there are conflicting reports of unlocking with the newer roms. I couldn't get it to work with the current dev rom (forgot the exact version) and I just yesterday switched back to 6.7.14 and seem to had more luck. I'm still on my 'waiting period' of 72 hours though
The biggest hurdle for me was getting my Mi Account to bind with the newer versions (there's a specific option you need to set under 'developer options'), 6.7.14 doesn't have that & it seems not be a requirement (yet)

Oh okay my bad.... I just assumed you were talking about kenzo.
I guess i cant b really helpful in case of Kate.
I tried official unlock on global stable , Dev roms & was successful make sure to enable developer options hit allow bootloader to be unlocked ( device must be connected to a mi account & locate your device once ) & authorize USB debugging Also disable all screen lock , passwords ; keep device connected to internet switch to fastboot mode & unlock

hello guys...
i was able to get my bootloader unlocked officially....
i tried everything mentioned online but no luck it always gave error to 50 % on the unlock tool and via oem unlocking it mentioned couldn't verify device....
this is what i did...
1st enable dev mode.... make sure you have oem unlocking (only 6.0 and above) enable also usb debugging...
download latest unlock tool ... en.miui.com/unlock
download minimal adb tool .... https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
make sure you have adb drive (usb driver)
also just be extra caution instal mi pc suite (though i did it without this)
connect your phone
open command prompt as an administrator
move to adb directory.... and type adb devices to check if your device is listed
the type .. adb reboot bootloader
phone will reboot to fastboot screen
type fastboot devices to check device is listed let this window open
open mi unlock tool.....
login it will verify if you have permission if it fails try again eventually it would
click on unlock it would show a warning
now the important part
as soon as you click yes on warning remove the usb cable...... and as soon as it reached 48-50 % (not more than that) reconnect the usb cable
hopefully it would work....
Thanks
UPDATE : Okay so i finally unlocked the bootloader finally. before the last try, i turned off the password/fingerprint lock and then it unlocked. everyone should try the same thing
I done every possible steps but nothing is happening! the bootloader unlock process always getting stuck at 99% and Account Bound error is coming on the PC and on the phone, "86012:*****" error showing on 'settings-additional settings-dev option-Mi Unlock status'.
I tried with 2 different Mi phone/account.
done with i.mi.com stuffs and find device, tried FlyVPN but there is no server of 'Shanghai"... etc!
Nothing is happeneing! I am a beta tester of MIUI 9 China, and see, i couldn't even unlock the bootloader yet! Wow! What a thing! Its been a week and so, still my bootloader is locked.
No help from Xiaomi.
I need a promising way to unlock. so help me.
See, I have unlocked three RN4 devices, none without the wait.
Had to wait 6-7 days for each one of them. There has been no luck for me in doing anything other than wait for 6-7 days after getting the permission.
But then, maybe something might work out for you.
The steps I tried or know of:
1. Being on the developer ROM is a must. Chances of unlocking bootloader from global stable MIUI are very slim.
2. Use old Mi Unlock tool. A quick google will land you there.
3. Don't change the accounts in the phone. You should be logged in with the account you got permission in.
4. Go to developer options and check "USB Debugging", "OEM Unlock" and one more option something sort of "USB Debugging Security".
5. Try to bind the account. It will yield a response with some code and Chinese text. Ignore it.
6. Use the original cable and use the ports on the back of the CPU.
7. Keep "Find my device" turned on. And log in to your account in your desktop and try locating your phone.
8. Now try unlocking.
I followed all the above steps I could find out from anywhere and I was able to do it.
In your case I do think you are either not in the developer build or you need to use the old Mi tool.

After removing fingerprints and password also - nothing doing. I had applied/received unlock permission from MI on Monday, and today is Wednesday, but it keeps showing "Could not unlock after 31 hours of attempt".. Dont know what that means since from my count, it is more than 42 hours
