Hi,
I am trying to officially unlock for two weeks now.
I just get stuck at 50 with the Cannot Verify issue.
Opened a bug report here. Would be nice, if some of you with the same issues could support it.

just don't make any change on your phone and your mi account for about a week
Just wanna clear things up! Kate can be officially unlocked,
I had already done that way back in July.
Steps taken by me.
1. Boot into EDL mode
2. Flash Global Developer Rom
3. Login to MI account on the phone
4. Boot into Fastboot mode
5. Unlock with official tool
Tried everything and now flashing Dev Rom in EDL Mode
Still no more than 50%
I have unlock permission but fails at 50%.
Gonna wait for a few days before trying it again.
Apparently you can flash TWRP/root via this method without unlock the BL.

I updated to Global Developer with the updater app.
Had to reflash the rom with EDL, because it didn't accept my passcode any more (two weeks ago).
Still doesn't work.
My bug report has attracted a few people with similar issues: http://en.miui.com/thread-364400-1-1.html

Have you removed your lockscreen? fingerprint, pin, pattern, etc?
Please ensure that you've fulfill the requirements, because that point above is usually forgotten when doing this.
Kindly check it again.
Thanks.

Are you really using Kate device? Delivery outside Taiwan began 26th of August at geekbuying, AFAIK. When you bought it directly in Taiwan:
Was it originally equipped with Android 5? Which ROM did you use when you unlocked it? Where can we download it?
We other people received our RN3Pro Special Edition already with Android 6 installed, and after flashing all ROM fitting onto Redmi Note 3 Special Edition (not Redmi Note 3 Qualcomm China, not Redmi Note 3 Qualcomm Global) I *know* there is no working solution except unofficial bootloader unlock. For now, because I'm hoping Xiaomi is working on this issue.

Doesn't help.
Stayed on the same MIUI Version for over a week.
Messaged MI Support now, as my bug report with almost 30 likes doesn't even get recognized.
I'm not able to use MIUI anymore because of the inability to enter my mi account's password.
So a month ago, I created a new mi account by using my phone number cuz i was not able to unlock my bootloader officially. I then did a factory reset but now whenever i start my phone, it asks for Mi account verification password... So even when i enter the password, it shows incorrect password and i cant get past this part so I'm stuck at this startup screen and cant use my phone at all. I even tried resetting my account password but it says "You've exceeded the number of verification attempts allowed within 24 hours." even after waiting for 24 hours before another attempt. It still shows the same error after a month. I think the reason is not verifying the new number after creating mi account.
I would like to add that I've tried contacting Xiaomi customer service quite a few times but they were of no use so I flashed an early MIUI firmware and i was able to access my phone but it was showing no IMEI number so I unofficially unlocked my bootloader and installed CM13. I'm now on LOS14.1 but wanna switch back to MIUI cuz of camera quality. So is there any way that I can use MIUI ever again?
Please help
Try this. Take out your SIM card and don't enable WiFi at the setup screen. It should bypass the account login page.

I tried that as well but it seems that this mi account thing registers itself with the IMEI number so no matter what I do, it asks for the password in the startup.

I really don't know how Xiaomi expect you to login through their system without any SIM/data or WiFi connection.

Thanks. I'll give it a try. Don't have Wi-Fi right now so I'll have to wait for few days I guess.
One question though: After flashing with the oldest firmware, I lose IMEI so do I need to update through Wi-Fi and then create a new mi account?
Hi there,
as the thread title suggests, my phone is linked to a non-existing Mi account.
As my (100% correct) password didnt work, the Xiaomi support told me to try and delete the Mi account, which was linked to the phone. Bad idea!
And now, as the shop shipped out the device with an unofficially unlocked bootloader, my bootloader has been relocked and I can only flash ROMs via fastboot. But this seems not to work in terms of deleting the MI account from the phone. No matter what ROM I flashed, there still is the login screen with the prompt to enter the password for the non-existing account.
I have tried many guides on how to remove the Mi account from the phone, but no luck this far.
Can anyone please provide a solution?
Thanks in advance!

Oops, sorry, forgot about the two different models for a minute.
I'm on Snapdragon (kenzo) and the phone was ordered as new (but with some inofficial store ROM).
I tried a lot of different ROMs and yes, I could flash them in spite of the locked bootloader,
but no luck still with the account login screen...
After deleting MI account, flash any ROM stable/developer ROM without SIM card inserted in EDL mode and try again. That login to MI only comes in first boot if SIM card was inserted, without SIM card atleast I don't get that login screen. Then create MI ACCOUNT in mobile itself on Wi-Fi, not with SIM inserted. Hope this helps a bit

Well then you can flash any AOSP ROM via TWRP (I recommend ZCX TWRP recovery).Go for lineage os or slim7 both are quite good Roms.
For the non existent account issue login through a computer and then try forgot password and other things see if u can succeed.

Sorry, but due to the locked bootloader, I couldn't manage to flash TWRP so far. But after I had another look at the respective forums, I understand that there is a new possibility to flash recovery with a locked bootloader. I will try this tomorrow evening and report back.
Thanks so far!
About the use the computer suggestion: I have tried everything in this matter, believe me
Couldn't even make it work with the help of Xiaomi support...

Thanks for your reply, but I have tried that to no luck. I don't understand how Xiaomi can check my account without a Wi-Fi or GSM connection, but they still manage anyhow...

Ok report back via private message i am keen to listen the outcome.
Okay, I have tried to flash TWRP over the locked bootloader by replacing the recovery.img in the developer ROM.
The MiFlash process was successful,but when I tried to enter recovery by pressing power and volume up, I always ended up with the picture of an USB-cable and a PC. So it seems like there was no recovery installed.
So, I couldn't flash any other ROMs unfortunately...
Anybody has any suggestions how to get lineage or any other ROM on my Note 3?
contact mi service,then follow instruction from mi service need 2-3 days to unlock mi account from server.

Thanks for the tip, but how can I flash a new kernel with locked bootloader and without a custom recovery?
Fixed using this
I had the same problem and took me 2 days to find a good solution and here it is... There is a software called RBSoft Mobile Tool (used v1.4 for RMN3). It's commercial but you can find it online if that's not a problem
adb shell
su
setprop sys.usb.config diag,adb
...and it will show you the port you have to use and just press Remove Mi account. It takes couple of seconds. Reboot, and whoila
Good luck
Edit: This has to be done in EDL mode but it's noted in application. Phone has to be rooted, too

You please unlock bootloader by this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/guide-rn3-pro-se-t3565172
And then install recovery.

I have managed to open the bootloader, but no success yet with flashing TWRP - MiFlash shows a success, but when I try to enter recovery by the button combination, the phone does simply nothing (sometimes it will boot normally when I release the keys).
Rebooting to recovery via ADB doesn't work for the fact, that the phone is only recognized in fastboot mode. This may either come from the fact, that I can't get into the phone in order to activate USB debugging or from my driver chaos, since I have installed every Xiaomi driver in existance, I guess
I'll try different versions of TWRP over the weekend and let you know how this works out...
what is your current rom?

Hey I think you are doing something wrong.
After following steps of unlocking bootloader, did you reboot in fastboot mode and then run following code in command prompt?
fastboot oem unlock-go
Try above code (this will be the final nail in the coffin for unlocking bootloader)
After this you follow below link to install recovery
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/zcx-twrp-install-twrp-flash-supersu-t3462448
I installed recovery by this thread, excellent one, no hassles
Let me know if it helped you.

Of course I was doing something wrong...
But no luck with the "fastboot oem unlock-go" either.
It shows that the oem unlock is not allowed...
Is there any kind of workaround for that?
Hey folks,
I've tried my best so far, but I am stuck.
I wanted to change the ROM on my wife's Redmi 3 pro. It was running on a rather old RR version and I wanted to go back to MIUI to have a better camera.
After an unsuccesful attempt to flash this, I was stuck in a bootloop.
This - in general - was no problem: I've decieded to flash an official firmware via MiFlash, but this apparently didn't work as well.
So, now MiFlash has locked the phone again but not properly installed anything.
I can access Fastboot and the pre-installed recovery, but nothing more.
The unlock tool tells me that I can't unlock it because it is apparentyl not bound to my MI account (and I have no clue with which account I've unlocked it the last time).
Desperately appreciation any kind of help!
Thanks in advance.
UPDATE: I was apparently not patient enough. After quite a while it finally booted. Now I can access the system again, but still can't unlock the phone.
UPDATE 2: I also found out with which account I've unlocked it and thus everything worked after all. Now sporting Lineage 14 with camera mod.
Please, feel free to explain how can it finally booted. Your experience might be help somebody sometime.

hello .... I have a sister redmi note 4 who has a bootloop ... on the screen with the MI logo it keeps restarting .... it goes to fastboot but not to recovery ... the bootloader is locked and I still can't unlock it because what I looked so unlocked in the system by logging into my MI account ... but I can't get to the system ... I tried my flash but it says that it did something for 4 seconds and nothing still the same .... I tried to put it into download mode - by connecting contacts on the board and miflash download ROM to the phone but bootloop still continues
do you have any ideas?
the phone was so stupid that it kept restarting but always after several restarts it started but now even after two days of restart it didn't start ...
thanks sorry for my english
I had a stroke reading this.
Unlocked bootloader is the basic requirement of flashing. If you don't have it, then sorry you're out of options.
Your only option is to flash stock ROM through test-point method. DO IT ON YOUR OWN RISK.
You can find Xiaomi stock ROMs of your device here (MTK) or here (MIDO).
Of course you can always just send your device to a repair center and change it there.
Goodluck.
test point method is lint two pins od board and run mobile to download mode? I try it ... flashing was succesfull but mobile ist still bootloop

You need to flash stock ROM not any other ROM.
As in the same ROM you had before any issue. Because your bootloader is locked it will refuse to run any boot image that isn't registered in it.
If you have a backup maybe you can flash it through download mode.
I try ROMs from your link and not working...always bootloop I try a lot of ROMs - global, china, stable, weekly and not working....flash is succesfull around 190seconds.... but still bootloop

I Can't help you there mate.
Maybe there is a way to get system info from bricked phone. Maybe through a hex editor or something. That way you know exact version of the ROM you had.
So instead of that maybe you can unlock your bootloader, just request from Xiaomi unlock code with your XIaomi account and unlock it. It usually takes 30-60 days for the request to go through.
Where I find old way to unlock bootloader? because in new unlocker I unlock phone butt I must log in to my account in system... thanks

There is no other way to unlock bootloader. Unless you know a guy, know what I'm sayin?
