I just want to ask if my phone will be able to use by somebody if i successfully activate lost mode on mi cloud. Is there any other way for them to remove lost mode? Or my phone will be useless unless he/she successfully logged in my mi account?
PS
I'm hoping that my phone will be forever useless unless it goes back to my hands

I guess it's only works for MIUI, right? If he flash any kinda Custom Roms, that's not gonna work.

Unless if he already unlocked the bootloader. If not, it'll turn out to be an icloud-like right?

I have stock MIUI 9 rom but unlocked the BL, rooted and have custom recovery.
Will it still be possible to use because of the BL being unlocked and have rooted phone and custom recovery?

Try to use it and wipe yo phone. Unless he's not a noob to have custom Rom already. Why bother trying anyway?
I don't have my phone i lost it so i activated the lost mode so i'm just hoping that my phone will be useless after it activates lost mode unless i got it back to my hands thank you for all your answers

I was trying to install MIUI on my s4 but it showed up that the software/kernel was not authrorized so I reflashed PAC and saw on another forum that I should use ez unlock to unlock it it (which I did) and then tried to flash it again after wiping and now my phone won't turn on (no recovery or odin either). Help please!
Edit: Okay now this is bad, I just checked the forum and I installed a sprint miui rom (*facepalm*)

to enter download/odin mode from a power off state hold power and volume down. To get to a power off state, pull your battery.
If you can't get to odin mode...I have no idea how you can fix that.
SO i'm basically screwed

So it's 100% non-responsive? I guess you could call verizon and beg them to help.
Is that really the only option, I think it's because I flashed a sprint rom so there has to be some way to fix it right?

If you can't get the phone to do ANYTHING. Not even odin or recovery modes. What other options would you expect there to be?
You can try to get it to do whatever it does when you press the power button while attached to your computer to see if you can get ADB to recognize the device. If so you could potentially force it to go into recovery.
I understand that but I still don't see why flahsing a wrong rom completely disabled the phone

Lol even if you don't understand, your phone still isn't going to work. If you can't get into Download Mode or Recovery, You can send it to get Jtag repaired at a number of places. This is signifcantly cheaper and they can unbrick your phone.

Hey guys, I've been looking for a way to bypass the lockscreen. nothing worked
I want to bypass my GS4 lockscreen, official lollipop rom, not rooted, usb debugging off and stock recovery.
I dont want to reset my phone, I dont know the password of my email. Is there anyway to flash anything throughout stock recovery?
Thank you

Without root access and a custom recovery, there is nothing you can do except either guess the code or reset the device.

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.
maybe try to flash miui 8 via fastboot..
i used fastboot rom miui 8 , miflash (not xiaomiflash) ver 2016, and unlock ver 1.1..

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)
http://en.miui.com/thread-439892-1-1.html
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.

Thanks for the reply but I need to have the latest dev ROM to allow LineageOS to flash - it checks for the most recent firmware.

Yes i know.first you use the older version miui to unlock the bootloader.after that just reflash to latest dev rom.make sure you checked CLEAN ALL.it will not lock your bootloader.

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.

No. U said u wanna visit service center. Then u should have stock recovery too. U can flash recovery rom but service center will see ur TWRP. Then they may refuse.
If u still under warranty period then u should have stock rom with stock recovery.
fastboot rom can be flashed only by using pc which will restore ur stock recovery too.

I don't believe there is any kenzo phone covered in warranty. It's been 2 years.
For OP: go to service center and get battery replaced for 1100Rs ($17). They don't even ask you for what rom you're running. I got my battery replaced running NOS 8.1. When phone is not covered in warranty, it really doesn't matter if your phone has stock rom, bootloader lock etc.

This is the one that I wanted to hear. My phone isn't under warranty. And I don't want to take the hassle of flashing stock rom/recovery using Flash Tool and then unlocking again and blah blah. Thanks for the information.
I was confused because I used to have a Lenovo phone and service center guys even refused to accept that phone when I said my phone is rooted. Just wanted to confirm if this would be the case for Xiaomi also.

You should never say anything about root and unlocking or custom roms.
Just remove sim and sd card. Turn off ur phone and give it. Just tell warranty is over and battery need replacement.
They only ask for purchase bill and accept ur phone.
Hello,
my MI 10 hangs in a boot loop. The device starts only in the recovery. It stays for some minutes in recovery and then it boots new again into recovery.
Flashing is not possible, because the Bootloader is locked.
And the next problem is,, that i do not want to lost my Data.
The important Thinig for me is to rescue the User Data.
Is this possible?
Is it poosible to save the User Data from MI Recovery? Because the MI PC Suite do not work with the MI 10.
Can someone help me?

Mi flash tool with "authorized account" (required for latest snapdragon devices) to flash in edl mode with option "lock" will relock the bootloader
Otherwise all other options available to flash in edl mode will not relock bootloader, as i know
