Deleted MI Account recovery !!

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.

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

Le max 2 unbind previous account

Hello I bought leeco le max 2 from fastcardtech.com
They created an account on my phone and it is bound with that account.Fastcardtech wont give me the password to unbind it because they say they have forgotten it.Can anyone please help me?
As soon as you get the phone, flash the stock ROM. Wipe everything and you will be ok.
I did flash a rom but the previous acount remains bound.

The phone is not new! if it has been bound and you cannot unbind, that means someone else has created a LeEco account, why would fastcardtech do that, they are a very dodgy company, its a used phone, go to paypal and get a refund! shop elsewhere

I do hope you mean LeEco account. Still is hard to believe that the account info will still be there if you'll wipe data in recovery. As I know you should login with username and password and not the phone's unique ID, so it should normally be erased once you flash a ROM and wipe all (cache, data, etc...). Create a new account and that will be it.
No it doesnt get removed I flashed another rom and the problem remains.It is bound with the previous account

When you set up a LeEco account on the phone it is bound to that phone (presumably by the IMEI number). Erasing makes no difference, presumably as it is server side. So when you flash any eui ROM and try to set up or log in to a LeEco account, it requires you to enter the password to unbind first.

I also purchased it lightinthebox and facing same problem like @taki123 any solution?

Deleted my mi account without signing out from mobile

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.

Q - Mi account locked phone

So, guys, my gf as a typical non geek gf managed to factory reset the phone and now she's unable to remember the log-in credentials in order to make it usable, so the phone is stuck on the familiar screen "this device is locked"
Phone is not hard bricked, is only locked by bootloader and the Xiaomi account.
Is this lock IMEI-based ? Is it bypass-able ?
Should I try to buy a dev acc and flash it through EDL - Test Point or it won't unlock unless we log-in with the bound account ?
Should I sell it to the local repair shop in order to be used for parts?
What should I do ?
Thanks in advance.
Login Mi.com , login, check your info (email, number and ID), If the phone ask ID, copy the ID from the account info. If password lost, reset password and put email. If it say can't connect network, flash ROM with miflash . There is many video on youtube. just search "Locked Mi Account" on youtube. And there is a guides on XDA guides.
final and simple solution?
flash the fastboot rom using miflash.
everything will be reset/ all data will be lost /phone will be factory reset
I tried flashing it but needs to log in to a dev account in order to flash it guys ... That's what I'm asking is that I'm aware of purchasing and flashing via fastboot and the whole procedure because of ANTI RB in my own Xiaomi, but will fastboot flashing via EDL and purchasing a dev account will solve the problem or it'll be flashed normally and when booted and connected to internet will lock up again??

you are just thinking to much... it doesnt ask dev account! simply flash the beryllium fastboot rom of atleast miui10.2.x global stable (2.6gb) via miflash tool released may2018. and skip the buttom LOCK from bottomRIGHT...
also
- poco don't have ARB Sh!t, so don't worry
- EDL cannot be done (unless you know how to remove the backpanel to short / test points and have authorize Xiaomi Account)

It won't flash because it needs edl authentication ... What I'm asking is that buying an authorized account will solve my problem or will successfully flash the phone and then ask again for mi account authentication...
I have the same issues,please tell me if you fix it ?

Please describe the current status of your device. If your device is unlocked, you can enter fastboot and flash with miflash. If your device is not unlocked, please go to the after-sales service for help, or you need to pay to request a merchant with an edl account to help you flash the phone
i edit some script file and flash it via TWRP.
that time my phone can't boot.
so i tried with edl mode and it asking for an authorized Xiaomi account to flash the firmware.
my Xiaomi account not authorized i don't know why..

Now only Xiaomi official service personnel can operate the edl flashing of Xiaomi mobile phones, and ordinary people do not have this permission
