Couldn't check Finde device status??????? - Xiaomi Redmi 3 Questions & Answers

Hi everyone.
1 - After my xiaomi redmi 3 Note Pro was in bootloop I flashed it with MIUI Global 8.1/ Stable 8.1.1.0
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.
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.
Pls help

Got same issue with my RN3Pro Kate, is there any solution?

Hi everyone.
1 - After my xiaomi redmi 3 was in bootloop I flashed it with v8.0.2.0.LAIMIDG.

How can I wipe my phone or do something to fix the problem?

Problem unlocking bootloader

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.

Xiaomi Mi8 Bricked after locking bootloader

Hello. I have a problem. I have Xiaomi Mi8, which was sent back on a warranty, because it just didn't powered on one day. It was sent from PL to China, they sent it back after a month and from this time I had some issues. The phone came back with unlocked bootloader. I couldn't use Google Pay to use contactless payment, couldn't install Netflix for example, and other general problems caused by unlocked bootloader appeared.
Today I wanted to change that, so I entered fastboot mode, connected phone to PC, and entered "fastboot oem lock". It said OKAY, finished, but then phone was stuck in a bootloop.
In recovery, it says that "This MIUI version can't be installed on this device". Wiping data doesn't help.
I wanted to re-flash it with Global ROM, but Mi Flash says "Error: FAILED (remote: Erase is not allowed in Lock State)"
I wanted to unlock it using Mi-Unlock but this fails also. It ends with "Current account is not bound to this device. Add your account and device in MIUI's Settings Developer options Mi Unlock status" message.
I cannot enter settings because phone will not boot up. I read about authenticating with account_auth.exe on c mi com/thread-2173190-1-0.html (remove spaces, sorry but I cannot post links yet). I logged in, but then instead of "Unauthorized Xiaomi account" I have "Request failed" message and I cannot click "Apply Bind".
I'm running out of ideas. Phone will not boot, it can't be flashed, what else can I do other than replacing main board? Please help.
I had the same problem with Redmi Note 7 pro I have changed from china version to India version but I had some security issues with some app as the Bootloader was open since I flashed India version I did as you did from cmd I loced the Bootloader so the MIUI was blocked and phone was bricked I had to use boxes software then go back to china version again then setup new mi account with new E mail and different SIM then I was able to flash new global indian version of MIUI 12.5 but unfortunately I lost my IMEI 1 but lucklly had saved my Data on Google account ,so you should use boxes software to use your phone again!

Working but unusable Redmi 3

Dear community,
you are my last resort to help me in this situation...
I have Redmi 3 which I last used 2 years ago. In that time It was associated with my Mi account. Today this account doesn't exist anymore - don't ask me why, I don't know.
I factory resetted it. Now, when it starts, it asks me for Mi credentials and doesn't let me access other phone options (settings, apps, etc.) I enter my old credentials, but of course it doesn't recognize them (account does not exist / username-password is invalid). This leaves me with unusable phone.
I tried many things:
- wrote to Xiaomi support, but they refuse to help me. They redirect me to local support or to my seller (which doesn't exist anymore).
- I flashed with brand new clean MIUI rom. I can use phone normally until I put it online. It instantly locks the phone and asks for Mi credentials.
- tried installing other OS (such as Lineage), but can't do that, because I need TWRP. To install TWRP, I need to unlock bootloader. Unfortunately I didn't unlock bootloader when I could do (2 years ago). If I try to unlock it now, my username doesn't get recognized.
-- I tried creating new Mi account to associate to my Redmi 3. Association requires internet connection which instantly locks the phone.
-- I also tried installing TWRP as it shown in this youtube video: watch?v=quNAkht1Lwc [can't publish link, I'm new user] Procedure puts my phone in looped boot process.
- I tried flashing this custom Xiaomi EU ROM but can't even flash it (instructions are at xiaomifirmware site guides-and-tips/twrp-custom-rom-locked-bootloader-redmi-3s/ [can't publish link - I'm new user])
I probably tried some other options, but can't remember them now and I'm literally exhausted!
So, in brief:
- my phone has locked bootloader
- Mi account associated with phone doesn't exist
What else can I try? Let me know if you need additional info.
Sorry for the late reply.
Have you tried to boot into fastboot mode and
- fastboot oem unlock, to unlock bootloader?
If you can unlock bootloader, try flashing a recovery. That will give you more space of maneuver.
