Hi!
I've got this Xiaomi Redmi 3 that I bought over the internet a year a go. I noticed the software was going kinda clunky and I could not reset to factory settings or flash the image so I applied for permissions on xiaomi to get the boot loader unlocked and I received an sms saying they allowed it however for some reason I keep getting different messages.
when I use the official unlock tool from xiaomi it passed the account permission verification then I click unlock and then it says "Current account is not bound to this device"
I don't know what else to do... Any ideas?
You must the only same account in mobile and in MiUnlock on PC!
1) Mi Account must be bound on both phone and Mi Unlock.
2) Receiving approval message doesn't mean you can directly go unlock. I need about a week after binding account to the device before being able to unlock.

I got permission Long back when i was on MIUI 7 earlier Build but now when trying again to unlock the bootloader, Mi Unlock tool stops while authenticating my user ID and it responds
"Your device isn't supported by Mi Unlock, go to unlock.update.miui.com to apply for Mi Unlock support and view the progress". When i go to that link (i.e. the Mi Unlock application site) and i click on the only button in there "Unlock Now" it simply goes to a simple web page that says "Apply for unlocking permissions. Sorry, your application has been rejected. The more active your Mi Account is, the more likely your application will get approved." with no further action possible.
I have planned to flash RR N Update for that i have gone through the process of using mi unlock app for unlocking bootloader but i am getting such message.
Please Help me out i am in search for the solution.

Unlock permission is valid for only 1 month. You will have to reapply. Or unlock unofficially

Unlocking unofficially is very easy. But you will have to make downloads of 1.5gb
Here is the link for the guide:

Dowlnoad this word file and follow it.
All downloads are in following folder

While installing MiFLash you may have to disable Driver Signature Verfication for installation of drivers.

I have unlocked the bootloader unofficially 6-7 months ago and I still have no issues.

No, unlock permission is for account, you can unlock one device each month. No need for reapply.
Device not supported could be wrong rom version, you need developer version for unlock.

try this. This is neither official nor unofficial. I got permission from mi to unlock bootloader. This is a dump image of devinfo which contains the unlock state. Sort of like a token file. Flash it via edl. Flashing files included.
All you have to do is start your device in edl mode. check you port number, and run unlock.bat file.
Is this still valid and also available for the redmi 4 prime ?
Hi there, so recently I bought a Redmi Note 4x from a Chinese seller in an online shopping store on our country.
I opened it up to see MIUI 8 but all in Chinese, though I managed to get it to English. Got it upgraded (OTA) to MIUI 9 and 10 global stable.
When I try to unlock the bootloader (new method), I always get error 20091 on Mi Unlock Status, even though my account has been binded to my phone.
I even tried Mi Unlock tool, but it returns an error after hitting 99% *see attachment (63)*.
I'm really puzzled by this since I just found out the phone wasn't an official global version. (Thru xiaomi product verification) so I decided to try and do something about it. I even tried shifting from Global stable to Global developer, still no luck, the same errors appear on Mi Unlock status and Mi Unlock app.
I even went as far as disassembling the phone and forcing it into EDL test point mode, and then flashing global developer fastboot rom via MiFlash as stated on this guide https://c.mi.com/thread-1479882-1-0.html but still I cant unlock my bootloader and the same problems appear.
UPDATE: I also tried using an unofficial unlock tool (which made my shift from global stable to global dev possible) but the xiaomi unlock server returns me error 20038 *see attachment (64)*
I really need some help since I want to unlock its bootloader and mod this phone.
Ps. btw, I even tried using different Mi Unlock tool version, but still got the same set of problems.
That link you shared is very good. I'm really surprised that it didn't work for you.

I'm even surprised it didnt work....maybe it has something to do with my hardware itself. I do think my hardware isnt made by xiaomi, since when I opened it up, only thing I saw (that i think made by xiaomi) is the battery....does it ring any bells?
Did you solve the problem? I have a Redmi Note 8 and the xiaomi server is responding with the same code:/

Error 20091 on Mi Unlock Status was a cause of the situation that your phone was binded to another Mi Account (probably the first owner of your phone if you bought it on the cheap). This altogether explains why I have that weird chinese error with something like a Mi Account ID in the error message in Mi Unlock. Error 20038 is also the same problem in the case of the XiaoMi Unlock Tool unfortunately.
The only way to resolve this would be to ask the previous owner of the phone to unbind the phone from his/her Mi Account and then trying to bind again, at least that's what I read on Mi Community Forums (Reference: https://in.c.mi.com/thread-1731805-1-0.html)
I also have error 20091 on my phone now.... trying to unlock the bootloader.
Really hoping to see ways to solve it.
Hello. I have a Redmi Note 4 Snapdragon 64 GB which I bought used and the last user didn't log out before doing a fabric restoration and I cannot unlock the bootloader and I get an Error 20038 in XiaoMiTool-V9.11.10 (Error 20091 on Mi Unlock).
I have downloaded mido_global_images_8.12.20_20181220.0000.00_7.0_global_3947ba5143.tgz (mido_developer_fastboot), modded rawprogram0.xml, added persist.img, entered in EDL mode (with testpoint) and flashed and when starts for the first time i get a message that says "This device is locked" and "Activate this device" but I have not the original account used to bind it.
Then, now I am in a worst scenario because I didn't get to UBL and I cannot use it with MIUI. Now it is a bricked device.
Any idea of how I can get out of this situation?
Thank you very much

I think the best course of action here is to ask the person whom you bought the phone from for help. If you are from Philippines and bought RN4X from Lazada on some cheap deals, then you've got a big problem returning it nor getting help from the seller.

The person who sold me the mobile says that he doesn't know who created this MI account and then is not possible to do the unlock in the proper way. I have a mobile phone that has a key to protect it but I have not the key and the person who sold me neither.
What about this? https://romprovider.com/bypass-mi-account/
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!
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:
https://c.mi.com/thread-1857937-1-1.html
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...
Yesterday i got the Redmi note 4, because people are saying that unlocking bootloader is "simple" on xiaomi phones. for me, "simple" means one command in fastboot and not trying 2 days to get one sms because the unlocking tool needs to log into xiaomi account. does ANYONE know what to do? I have my xiaomi account loged in on firefox, because here, i did it using google account and on the phone. interesting is that on the phone it didnt need the sms verification.
