I Decided to DELETE(via browser) my Mi Account and create a new one to avoid any hassles while unlocking my bootloader by MI UNLOCK(with the idea of creating a fresh mi acc) . But unfortunately I realized I didn't log out from the deleted mi account in my REDMI NOTE 4. And i can't factory reset my phone since it asks me the password for a mi account that does not exist.
I tried every solution the internet had to offer me.... But Nothing helped me.
And I came to know that RedmiNote4 cannot be booted into EDL mode(emergency download Mode) via fastboot method.
My Bootloader is still locked and I don't a mi account to apply for unlocking the BL.
And here I am.. Hoping XDA is the ONE....
I Don't want to boot edl mode by TEST POINT METHOD cuz my mobile is months old... Help me out.

Mi Account is on the persist partition. So can't be removed forcefully.
You can try to do this with Mi Flash. It will install a fresh recovery ROM from scrap.
But if doesn't help, then I'm afraid you are left with a paperweight.
The only solution that comes to mind is, to make a Mi Account with the same e-mail or phone number and than try again.
If above don't work, then contact the service centre.

I know it works fine. You mentioned it earlier. I'm just suggesting you methods to remove it or gain access either way to your account. If its working fine and you can bear with it, then its ok.
The problem will arise when you will either try to sell it or format it.

do you know what they did? I have the same problem but I dont have ay mi service center near me
Same problem here
Solved
Hi there, if you are still facing this problem i have the 100% right solution.
just send a mail to your country customer service center mentioning your problem.
Describe them you deleted the account.
Attach some screenshots with them.
But If your service center replies that they can not do anything for you don't lose hope.
send a mail to Malaysia Xiaomi service center "[email protected]"
and global service center mail: [email protected]
I contacted with Indian service center they could not / did not want to help me out.
But Hong Kong and Malaysia service center replied me quickly and provided me the solution.
I am not sure which among the 3 worked: Malaysia or Hong-Kong or Global but it worked.
Have some patience. It took 4 days for me.

Alright guys, so after surfing on the internet for two days without any luck to solve this issue, here's how I worked it out.
I know a lot of people might have gone through deleting their mi account before signing out from the phone and hence locked onto the deleted uid activate phone screen, right?
The official helpline suggests us to go to the service center but honestly the engineers over there don't know a **** either. All they know is how to hard reset the phone, if the problem is gone then - "EUREKA" !! , else "Well its a hardware issue, motherboard replacement is the only option, it will cost $$$$ rupees." Are you effing kidding me, its in warranty.
Even clean flash with edl mode or so doesn't seem to do the trick.
The only solution that worked was :-
1. Well obviously create a new mi account.
2. learn how to use edl mode, coz that's what's gonna help
edl - http://en.miui.com/thread-290959-1-1.html
How to use miflash with edl guide - http://en.miui.com/thread-235865-1-1.html
3. Download the oldest fastboot rom for your phone.
( I know this is the tricky part to find an old rom but try to go as low as possible, for me, having a redmi note 3, i went as low as 7.1.7.0 )
4. Download the latest recovery rom for your phone from here http://en.miui.com/a-234.html
5. Now enter the edl mode and use Miflash to clean flash the fastboot rom you downloaded.
Wait till the phone starts. The trick here is that older version of miui roms dont directly check for account status. Instead it gives us a choice to use an existing account or to create a new account.
So enter the credentials of the new account you created and log in with it.
6. Enable Find Device now. ( Yes this is important )
7. Load the recovery rom in the internal memory of your phone and use the updater app to update it to the latest rom.
8. It'll take some time to update, but after the phone starts you can see that you have the latest rom and it already has the new mi account logged in.
9. Open https://i.mi.com/ in pc and log in with your new account. Click on Find Device and let it locate your device. Somewhere on the browser you'll see the option to wipe your device remotely. Click on it and let it wipe your device.
10. After the phone is wiped and starts again, click next next until the mi account screen appears. You'll see that instead of asking password for the older account that was deleted, it'll ask you the password for the new account that you recently used. You already know the password so just enter it and voila the rest you know.
11. I suggest you perform a reset from settings -> additional settings -> backup and reset -> reset.
Yep this is it. You have successfully linked your phone with the new mi account. I guess its kinda overwriting it or so, but well who cares, the annoying device locked with deleted account is gone now. I know its a lot of steps and all but its certainly better than the alternative.
Adios people. Enjoy the unlocked beast.
i am on a custom rom (miui v8.1 on lenovo a7000) and am facing the same problem plz help
will this work on forgotten mi account? like waay forgoten that if i open wifi it locks my phone in just a seccond... redmi 3x locked bootloader and yes im in the old rom.
Sir, my mi account has been deleted today. My account mb. No .+919897992624.i want to recover my account.
my case I deleted mi account paramanently without signout my phone..
my case I deleted my account from mi cloud service without before sign out my phone (mi account option on the phone- sign out).
So, I know my account ID and password but they are useless because account is deleted.
If there is any possibility to restore/recover deleted account on mi cloud it would be perfect.Or maybe some other solution.
Device is locked through MI account but account is deleted

Flashing old ROM is causing unknow imei error and wifi is not working too
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.?

Could anyone help before I give up and destroy the phone?Adarsh tried but we could not get in to EDL mode.
I got the unlock request approved by Xiaomi today but when I tried to unlock, lo and behold it said that it can not unlock as the phone is not associated with my mi account.
Going crazy trying to sort this out.

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 ! Remove mi cloud tool - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_ZGSOigBwWJVW1CYWplUFk3b28/view

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.
Mi Account login in second hand mo.
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.
Apparently I have bought Redmi 5 plus (MPEG7) which was locked with Mi Account or what. The phone works normally, but I cannot add my Xiaomi Account because it gives me some error I don´t remember now.
Tried to update the firmware manually, didn´t help. So I decided to do factory reset, and then, soon after the set up screen I connecet to wifi, my Xiaomi got locked. It says I need to sign in on account which was previously been there.
The guy who sold me this phone, aware me of this, I should not do factory reset because this will happen, but I thought If there is no Mi Account on this phone I am good to go.
Luckily I found local repair shop who helped me to revive this phone by bypassing Mi Account somehow. I can use it with my Gmail account and I still can´t add my Xiaomi Mi Account.
So here goes my question now, how much I can do about that here. Unlocking bootloader and installing custom recovery would help me here. But the thing is I can´t enter my Mi Account on my phone, so that means no unlocking bootloader for me, at least nothing officially.
So my questions goes. Is there any way to unlock bootloader without having MI Account on the phone?
And before I forgot, if I don´t unlock the bootloader, and the phone stay in the same condition, will my phone lock itself again after I update it to MIUI 11, once when the update is available?
For now it is on the latest MIUI available, 10.2 Stable, OEGMIXM
Thanks in advance

As far I have did some further research, unfortunately for us there is no solution to this. Basically the phone is connected with the Mi Cloud servers. As there is no alternative to unlock the bootloader, other than the official way, if in any case we got to sign in our account on the phone, the phone will lock itself eventually.
The only solution is the person who owned the phone have to remove the phone from the Mi Cloud service.
I hope at least we will get MIUI 11 and the update will not lock our device again.
If you want to know more about this, I have created a thread on Mi Community forum, so you can check there, one guy tried to help me about this problem, but no success

Hello!
I am also getting help to solve the problem. But, it has been 25 days that after sending some photos of the device screens nothing happened regarding the unlock. That is, it remains blocked. I tried help from S-Unlock but showed no interest in solving the problem. I need to find another company or someone to unlock the device next to the server. Feel free to help me if you want.
Hello,
Suddenly, just 1 month after the end of warranty my Xiaomi Mi Play stopped working showing "The system has been destoryed" message on recovery. I have read some articles and I have found that this could be fixed by flashing the ROM, but my problem is that bootloader is locked and I kept in this way for security purposes.
I know I can use the target app (https://c.mi.com/thread-2262302-1-0.html) to unlock it, but it also need some steps at android level (per attached image), which I don't have access anymore.
So my question is: add my account for unlock the unlocking permission is something which is at phone or at account level?
I mean, if it's something at the phone level there is no way to fix, but if it's at account level, I may fix the issue by using another Xiaomi device.
Can someone please clarify to me, or may I have any hints please?
Regards,

Mhhh.... it seems something related on phone:

So, probably phone is bricked and there is no way to recover except than support center.
Hello,
I ran into the same issue a couple of months ago. I was EU rom using mi flash and accidentally selected the 'clean and lock' option. There are a few ways you could try to fix your phone:
1. If you have a mi account that is registered to the phone, you could login to mi unlock using that account and try unlocking the bootloader and then flash using mi flash.
2. If you don't have a registered mi account then your options are pretty limited. You could try a go to a service center but like me there might not a one in your region. The only other option edl test point. There are many people, mostly russian or indian, who have an authorized mi account and are selling their services. A quick youtube search and you'll find many options. They remotely connect to your computer and use their authorized account to unlock your bootloader and flash the factory rom. They usually charge anything from 25 to 30 usd.
There is a way you could apply for authorization from mi but judging from the many forums it is vary rare to get a reply let alone get authorized.
Unfortunately there is no other way to Unbrick your device until now.

Hello,
Thank you for your reply.
My Mi account was registered on the phone, but once I login to "mi unlock" and try to unlock, I got the error attached.
I am suspecting some operations on the phone were required in advance.
I mean, I have never applied for my Mi account to being able to unlock or something, is there a specific page where to do now (e.g. on a differenr Xiaomi phone, online, etc.)?

Hello,
I have checked on other forums but it doesn't seem that Mi Play has an edl test point.
Or I couldn't find the correct information...
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.

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?

Just before, i hade a speed test conection 35mb/s.
I'm still seaching.
since the phone contained Italian applications, I tried to configure it as such but it still doesn't work.
maybe it contains a wrong firmware..??

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?
