So whose device is it? Second hand device?
If this is a second hand device, previous owner will have to provide you with his MI account login credentials.

hello i have redmi note 3 pro with snapdragon, i have recive today the message for unlock the bootloader..i connect the phone on my pc with fastboot but stack on 50% and say current account is different from the account info on the device , how to fix this? please HELLPPP ME. same think now this moment, i try to update to latest firmware from mi pc suite ( from phone stucks on 0%) and at 50% stuck with another program...
Same problem.
I realize this sounds unhelpful, but just stop trying for 2 days, repeated attempts make the server to think that you're a bot or something. I left mine alone for 2 days and on the third day, it unlocked. In fact, I unlocked it just about half an hour ago.
Installing the beta developer ROM solved this problem for me.

I don't think it should be a problem there, steps are simple:
- First, install a dev MIUI ROM 6.x.x (if possible, chinese one, which comes in both chinese and english) through MiFlash
- Boot the phone in this dev ROM and make sure you login your MiAccount, the same one you used to ask for unlocking bootloader permissions
- Make sure you have both ADB and OEM unlock activated on Developer Options
- Once you make sure you have that account logged in, just follow the steps in the MiUnlocker program (fastboot, connect, etc)
It should do the trick, if you still have some kind of problem, do the typical tricks, try to use another cable, connect through a 2.0 USB port....

Same problem with global stable ROM and flash to Global dev ROM solve the problem for me
I had this today i was on global beta. What i did was turn my phone on goto to mi account and ensure my device was activated on find my device. Logged into mi unlock tool with my phone number eg +447509##### and opened windows firewall to the unlock program. Took 10+ attempts then worked. I think the key to my problem was my phone had to receive the validation sms for my miui account before proceeding
Hey guys.
Here is the story ... I received my Redmi 3 Pro device back from the Xiaomi because it was sent there due to faulty camera. When I turned on the device it said This device is locked and there is a little button Activate this device. After that the screen shows that the device may be associated with existing Mi Account, which is my account. When I enter the password and tap on Activate I get an error saying Couldn't verify Mi Account ID. Can't connect to network.
How the hell can I connect to network if I even can't get past this screen.
Does anybody have an idea? I bought the device months ago and couldn't use it even for a day because it took them almost three months to replace the camera.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Try to use a sim card with mobile data and no pin. It should automatically connect to the internet and allow you to activate your phone.

Thanks ... worked like a charm
In my case it happened after disabling some stock Mi apps on an officially unlocked phone. Trying to connect would fail because the required dependencies were not available. The easy solution was to reboot into the twrp recovery and delete the file /data/system/users/0/package-restrictions.xml — the file gets recreated after boot with the default stock package restrictions.
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.?

If the phone is associated with another account, he/she wouldn't be able to unlock. He must try unofficial unlock.

Hi guys,
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

How to reset mi account so that new owner could unlock with their own account ?
It's better to go to mi store service center and show them this problem and tell them clear the data and everything except system they will clear the mi account and give you back in the evening my daddy has the same problem like you but after formatting it in mi service center my daddy got resetted version back

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.
Hello everyone, I need a huge hand. I formatted the redmi note 4 MTK but on rebooting I get stuck to a screen telling me that the phone locked because associated with a mi account, the problem is that accessing to unlock the device gives me that the password is wrong even if I'm sure be that. Accessing from mi.com with my data I can access easily and more I noticed that this account is mine is different from the one associated with the device. I tried to flash the rom rom, the global Rom, but nothing. Ah of course I do not have the bootloader unlocked ... heeelp! (Sorry for english)
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/
