i'm getting error message as "this device is associated with existing mi account 108****550" after coming back from custom ROM. but there was no such a/c logged in that device before. I've tried flashing fast-boot ROM (android 7 global dev), but nothing helps. fortunately I've unlocked my boot-loader and now i'm using custom ROM. i want to be back to stock ROM. pls help.

If you want to get to MIUI, flash MultiRom, it is only dirty flashed, no clean flash. Will land you to MIUI.

It worked for some folks in the comment section.

Actually U have Messed with your persist partition in flashing rom or sensor fix zips.....
Nothing Can Help Now...Even You Flash in EDL mode will not clear the account.
You Can Only Unlock phone With UMT Box or any other Box.... Just Find A Mobile Repairer and that can unlock this with umt box or visit to service centre......
Optionally U Can Use other ROM Without Any Problem....

"Unfortunately Setting Has Stopped" after factory reset

After factory resetting/reinstalling [Resurrection_Remix][Android 6.0.1, r_52][Kenzo], the "Unfortunately Setting Has Stopped" has started appearing whenever I try to access the Privacy setting to change the password/pin/pattern option. I also noticed that the Fingerprint scanner is no longer in the Privacy setting.
Under TWRP I have also tried wiping Dalvik / ART Cache, Data, Internal Storage, and Cache when reinstalling any other Custom ROMs and Gaap. The other custom ROMS I've installed are causing the Setting->Privacy option to crash also. All the searches I've made doesn't seem to fix the issue, particularly the searches in the Redmi section. Any suggestion would be helpful, thanks.

link to download radio.zip?
This situation happens when you switch to an OFFICIAL Rom from an UNOFFICIAL one like Mokee or RR from Siddhesh or Santosh. This is because these ROMs lock the bootloader and cause other problems too.
Radio.zip may not always fix the problem. If you are really stuck, there is a lengthy process that is guaranteed to work.
1. Flash one of the MiUI Fastboot ROM (global or chinese stable works fine) for RN3SD with Mi Flash tool. Use Flash All in the options at the bottom.
2. If you had an officially unlocked bootloader, use the Mi Unlocker tool to unlock your bootloader. Otherwise, you need to follow the unofficial unlock guide.
3. Flash official TWRP or a variant if you now what you are doing. Refer to this thread if you are not sure which TWRP will work.
3a. Download and copy this file to internal storage - LazyFlasher. I have verified this file to work with MiUI7 and MiUI8 global.
3b Reboot the phone in fastboot mode. On your PC, copy the TWRP img file to the adb directory and open command window there. Rename it to recovery.img. Use this command
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
3c Boot into recovery (using ADB or Vol-pwr button shortcut). DO NOT BOOT into the phone before you do this. Flash the Lazyflasher zip with TWRP. You could probably flash this using fastboot too, I just never tried it.
Dhanajay made a guide video here. The video is a little outdated, and the updated instructions are in the description and comments.
You phone is now rooted and you have TWRP. Happy flashing.
This method will soon be outdated as a graphical UI for ADB is already in progress. Others have done it before, but this one shows real promise. Check here for details.
It has been a few months now since the RN3SD launch and the time has come when unofficial ROMs are no longer the best option around. Most Official ROMs, including the ones from RR and XOSP among others work great now and are incredbilby smooth and efficient. The war for the best kernel is now starting, and custom kernels will be responsible for the next round of reasons for bricked phones. Be VERY careful when you are flashing a ROM with a custom kernel. Be prepared to do some legwork if things go wrong.

Seems to be down. Normally works. Give it some time.
But if you are moving from an unofficial ROM, flashing radios alone is unlikely to work. Radio zip fix is for undetected SIM and IMIE errors. Check your IMIE number in About Phone. If you are showing an IMIE number instead of '0', flashing radio may be pointless.

Link is from August 8th. That **** has mirrored a hundred times by now.
Also, the problem is now tackled in a different way. If you're facing a similar issue, ask in the rom thread you are trying to flash.
If you are facing this problem now, just flash the correct CM firmware.
P.S. On XDA, please do not question why someone posted a link or method that did not work for you. Do your research. No one is obligated to solve your problems.
Flashed radio. Zip. Worked for me.

[solved] Need help to recover my device from a deleted mi account (Redmi Note 3)

I had deleted my mi account yesterday following the disappointment to unlock bootloader by official method but forgot to delink my Redmi Note 3 device from it. After flashing the Global Developer version of ROM, I get this message on screen that the device is associated with another mi account 162*****168. I'm consistently being asked to enter the password if I connect to a network which ultimately errors out saying "Couldn't verify mi account ID. Invalid username or password".
Now the question lies that is it possible to remove the device from a deleted mi account?
I'm ready to flash any other custom ROM in it but my concern is that the bootloader is still locked and I can't bypass the mi account setup after flashing another mi ROM.
Is there anyway to resolve such issues? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Solution: Flash MIUI v7.2.3.0 using mi flash tool (flash all) to bypass the mi account setup after flashing.
However if you update to MIUI 8, again the device will be locked.
Suggestion: Better switch to a custom ROM :good:

Had to flash MIUI v7.2.3.0 (downgrade required) using mi flash tool and it didn't prompt me to go through the mi Account setup.
Don't know if it will remain this way on MIUI 8 update.

I did the same. The whole security thing in Xiaomi phones damages the brand. If you implement such a thing do it right. The way they did it sucks a lot.

@22sumit
Hi! I have Kate model with exactly the same issue as you. Do you think using this method with LineageOS will be enough to solve the issue? Using custom ROM is fine for me:
Code:

Or do you recommend flashing MIUI 7 first?

Sorry dude. I don't have the device now. But I would suggest you to move to miui 7 first, unlock bootloader and then switch to LineageOS.

[Help] Mi Account Password Lost - Device Lock

Hi, I got this device from someone and he forgot what was his mi account password, its email or number and everything. So he couldn't restore to factory setting before giving it to me.
I unlocked bootloader, fastboot flashed stable miui 8.0.1.0 and when I boot up I cannot pass mi account password page which says "the device is locked, password to unlock". It appears he had "find my device" option on in his mi account and now device is locked.
I tried everything almost i.e. wipe data, fastboot wipe, complete wipe, customer support and service center but I cannot get pass that page. Only option was to install any other rom then miui to get device running. But I need miui (specially for VoLTE) so if anyone know any solution?
Like.. I can flash SuperSu and before getting to mi account page I can Go to Google Now and from there I can install system app remover. I tried to remove "mi account" system but didn't work, I removed every system app having mi or xiaomi written but ended with a dead device when reboot.
Please help

Yes, first try was edl flash.
Official rom CM13 working with Volte?
I dont think there is any other way besides contacting mi support. Try forgot password or something like that if its possible to do so. But the best option is to use a custom rom instead.
You are lost bro.
Whatever ROM you flash the Mi account credentials will be stored into the device that will not be wiped even if you flash the fastboot ROM.
But you can still use the phone be using any ROM other than MIUI and MIUI based ROMs (like Epic ROM).
I can see from search that there are lot of people facing same issue, yet no possible solution.
I did go to support and they just tell me to wipe data and flash fastboot. I told them it didnt worked but they keep saying its the only solution.
Is there any way I can get mi account email or number?? Support is not telling me that.

How would anyone know that it's your device (or ur uncle whatever) or if it's a stolen one? There is that security measure (akin to iOS cloud lock) so that stolen devices can't be used by scumbag thieves. I'm not saying you are thief but who knows?

Redmi Note 3 Pro SE (Kate) - can not bind device to account

I flashed my phone with kate_global_images_7.5.19_20170519.0000.00_6.0_global in order to unlock the bootloader via mi unlock. The phone has successfully connected to mi cloud and can be located on the i.mi.com website. If I go into developer options and tap on the button to bind the phone to my account for unlocking it just keeps telling me to try again in another couple of minutes. This seems to be a really common problem and I haven't been able to find a solution. Any ideas? Thanks.
Same here. Been waiting for 5 days now after getting permission. Still fails to bind. This whole official unlock way is a total POS. It even says after you are granted permission you can unlock right away but that's not true at all. I also have SE and dev rom btw.

MIUI 8 what? The dev rom 7.x is MIUI 8. Do you mean dev or stable? I was on MIUI 8 stable before but it didn't help.
my issues, evrytime i flashed miui rom, my imei isn't showing up (i need to official unlock to flash lastest los)
i tried some rom dev 7.x.x.x , but i cant login mi account via wifi.
then, i flashed this rom with miflash 2016 (mine is kenzo)

and it works, i can unlock my phone without imei..

I think the "can not bind" problem is specific to Kate. The IMEI problem with your Kenzo phone is probably a separate issue.

Doesn't work - complains that the deivice isn't bound to the account
There is no point trying anything. Nothing works. I have a 3 month long email chain with xiaomi support, which ended by them saying I should contact the direct seller. Basically they washed their hands. I ended up sending my device to a guy, who has a xiaomi service licence, and he managed to unlock it officially with his code.
If you cannot bind your account and device for two weeks with multiple tries, you should just give up on the "mainstream" unlock procedure. It will never work, and the only thing that comes out of it is slowly bulding rage.
It's not worth it.

Mine is V5 5G, but it looks very similar to yours. I posted how to recover to stock state for mine in a realme 7 thread. I hope this will help you.
If you can access the phone storage just download the stock rom and put it in phone storage then double tap on it and it will update/install on the phone.
