Hi ! Today i bought my Pocophone F1 and updated it to MIUI 10. Created MI account, entered my google account and downloaded Android 9 update. After the installation of the update i no longer can pass the first settings screen. There is a Confirm your password section where the keyboard is only numerical and cant enter any of my passwords cause they all contain letters. I cannot install another ROM because my bootloader is locked and cannot unlock it from this state. I can access all of my accounts from computer, just dont know what is this only numerical password ... Would be glad if anyone can help !
Hi, I have exactly the same problem and conditions. Today I got the smartphone, registered on the page, updated with:
miui_POCOF1Global_8.11.29_14c6931f61_9.0.zip.
(MIUI10/choose lang/chose your region/connect to network/terms and c./checking for updates/copy apps&data(skiped)/checking info/confirm your passsword)
Wipe data did not help.
I've been desperate for hours. Please help

Its seems is somehow google account related. Managed to flash the same ROM (cause its the only one i can flash with locked bootloader) with XiaomiADB and MI account dissapeared, but only Google one left. It let you go without wifi connection to the end but just when you press the last button to go to the homepage it says you cannot because there is a google profile here and Couldnt been able to bypass it cause all the techniques dont work here, like for example the talkback gesture and SSID copy stuff. Tried even to remove my device from my google profile, but with no luck for the moment ...

I suspect more likely a numeric password, which would have to be connected to Xiaomi-account.(it's google)
When I turn off the wi-fi I get a message that the phone is assigned to a Xiaomi-account with the number xyz (account number is not this asked password) which can not be checked.
Ive send the device back to the seller. Actualy i contacted Xiaomi global support, but the bad news is they cannot understand the problem i have with the device, despite the description i gave them. I wrote them if the seller cannot fix it and decline to send a new device to give them IMEI and Mi account to unlock the bootloader since i cannot access the device. I doubt instaling official rom void warranty. We will see tomorrow.
Have someone any idea?
To try to remedy to this you might want to follow these steps. Do it in quick succession.
1. Press Power Button and Vol Down simultaneously to force shut down the device.
2. When the screen switches off quickly press Power Button and Vol Up, this will give you access to Recovery Mode
3. From there, you need to wipe your data (factory reset)
Here you use volume buttons to navigate and power button to select.
I don't know of any other way for your situation.
Hi I've the same solution there is the solution
Download on your pc the fastboot rom
http://en.miui.com/thread-3943816-1-1.html
Based on oreo
Start your phone in fastboot mod (pow + vol down)
Launch mi flash
Extract the zip and the zip inside
Flash it
Bootloader locked? Not a problem launch mi flash and click on unlock
Enjoy you're phone is now alive
(I've found this myself and it working)
Hf

i had a similar problem after unlocking the bootloader, i had to log in to my mi account which gave me a normal keyboard but to then go online i had to enter my wifi password which gave me no keyboard at all.
i used a usb keyboard with an otg adapter to circumvent the issue, worked fine but shame on xiaomi for such a bad software...

Hi at all!
After yesterdays update over WiFi (don't know which exactly, but I think it's MiUI8 6.9.8) my Redmi Note 3 (Qualcomm, 32GB) wouldn't let me unlock the device neither with fingerprint nor pattern. Before I updated it was normally unlocking. Normally I use fingerprint, so at first I thought i forgot the pattern, but after several attempts the phone went into lock mode. I am 99% sure I know the right pattern, but it won't unlock.
I already read this guide: http://en.miui.com/thread-5684-1-1.html and tried this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMAPEhH5z-8
But I have still several problems:
- USB debugging not enabled
- no recovery installed
- no root or open bootloader or anything like that
- no backup of all photos, which are on the phone itself and not on the SD card (I just came back from holidays)
- no cloud or similar backup
- Mi Pc Suite does not detect phone
- Google Device Manager states "Since Google has verified that a screen lock is already set, the password that you entered won't be needed." if I try the send a new lockscreen.
This method (with flash afterwards) could help me, I guess, but I still would loose everything: http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/guide-reboot-to-edl-mode-fastboot-test-t3398718
I have absolutely no idea how i can unlock my phone without loosing any data (especially the photos).
Please if anyone has an Idea, help me!
Same happened to me so I restored my backup, once the restore had finished I removed the finger print and pin number (I had read about this on the xiaomi Forum). Then did the update again and this time it was OK
sounds easy, how did you restore the backup?
Before restoring any backup, I suggest you hard restart your phone. long press the power button.
but if I make a Hard Reset I will loss everything on the phone.
Is there maybe a possibility to insert some sort of file or command via EDL mode, that USB debbuging will be enabled? http://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/guide-reboot-to-edl-mode-fastboot-test-t3398718
No not the hard reset. I was talking about hard restart. The phone will just restart.
ahh I see, sorry my fault.
But nonetheless I din't made any backup ever with this phone.
same problem here
my phone redmi note 3(qualcomm 32gb) is also locked just yesterday ! it shows try again after 120 minutes and after the time completed it shows pattern and it will be locked again and shows the same dialouge after trying my correct password ! actually we shoud get forgot password option behind the emergency option ! please do give a reply to me if you find any solution it means a lot to me !
Well I am afraid I can't help you either... after searching for 2 days I found no solution and flashed my phone. so all data was lost...
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.
Device is locked through MI account but account is deleted

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

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.
Hi. Yesterday evening I decided to debloat the Mi 11 Lite phone using the ADB console. Unfortunately, I did not notice that the phone was logged in to the xiaomi account and probably because of that I cannot unlock the phone now (I deleted the Mi Account and Mi Cloud apps, among others). I now have a black screen with a padlock and a choices:
- activate the device
- wifi settings
and below is some unlock code that I do not know where to enter.
After selecting "activate the device" I have to enter the password to the xiaomi account. Unfortunately, after entering the password, the phone locks up again after a second, even though the password is correct. I logged into my xiaomi account via www on my computer and removed the device from the list (there was only one to choose from) but that didn't help either.
I wanted to reinstall deleted apps via adb, but can't - adb can't see the device, probably developer options have been disabled.
Windows also does not see the device, I cannot download photos, etc. So the device is visible, but after entering the phone icon it is empty.
What can I do? The phone wipe is really the last resort
There are two ways to unlock account lock
One way
Operate directly on this phone
1. Click "wifi settings" to connect a wifi or insert a SIM card
2. Click "activate the device" and enter the password of your Xiaomi account
3. Click the Activate button
Another way
Operate on the Xiaomi cloud service website
1. Log in to your Xiaomi account on this website
2. Click "Find My Device"
3. Tap your locked device
4. Click the "three dots" on the top right
5. Click "Turn off Find Device"
6. Click "wifi settings" to connect a wifi or insert a SIM card
7. If the device still appears locked, try restarting the device
Hi.
Thank you for time in helping me.
The first solution doesn't work for me. As I mentioned filling the correct password unlocks the phone only for one second. Second solution doesn't work either. I see location of the phone on the map, but there is no "turn off find my device" option. Instead there is "turn on" option
UPDATE!
Although there was "turn on option" in find my device section, I clicked it and phone location has been turned off! And then instantly the phone was unlocked! Thank you very much.
what if I forgot my password and I can't connect to MI cloud and the above screen is still on the home screen?
how, in that case, to activate the phone regardless of the fact that I don't have to save the account?

I was able to use my second phone, where I also had Mi Accounts enabled, to change my forgotten password .
To authenticate, Xiaomi sent me the code by SMS to my previously registered phone number:
Bootloop Fastboot (stock) / Phone locked for security reason (Xiaomi.eu)
Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE (Lisa) Stock 12.5.8 EEA Bootloader unlocked, Orange Fox recovery and Magisk Canary 25.2 I was running the same set-up for a couple of months, by only updating when newer Magisk was released or some module. I never had any...
forum.xda-developers.com
You could probably also try to login via PC, and there should be a usual option like I forgot my password, that Xiaomi send you a link to your previously registered mail address, with a token to authenticate and for changing your password
thanks for the reply
good morning everyone,
i tried to unlock bootloader from a redmi 5 but can't do it. i passed three days to find a solution.
i tried many way without results.
i installed mi flash unlock but that's telling me that i have to unlock mi status. Every time i did it, i have the same message " connect to network and try again". but i 'm connected on network with wifi disconnect. I can access to my mi account on the net so no problem from this.
i also tried with xiaomitool but i think that the problem is the same.
After my day work, i will try to create another account with my daughter phone number and see if i can fix the problem.
Have you got any suggestions that will help me, please?
i thank you by advance.
Bests regards .
PS : sorry for my english cause i'm french.
Check here if you can locate the phone.
Use an email address rather than the phone number.
If you create a new account choose USA as country.
Do a factory reset.
Check that everything is correct.
Unlock bootloader
Xiaomi Community
new.c.mi.com
Apply for unlocking Mi devices
en.miui.com
ok...
i did a reset factory, create a new account with a us country and a temporary us number.
and that still not working.
i also tried with my wife number and status quo.
i wanted to install twrp but i can't. i have a error message that tell me that impossible.
i red on the twrp page that this redmi 5 got a dm-verity install.
Do you think that could be my problem?
4 days working on this problem and i start to be a litte upset
Any suggestions please.?
i thank you by advance.
Bests regards
I think that as long as I have not associated my mi account with my phone, I could not go any further.
i can"t do anything without this step .
I noticed that when I restored the factory settings, I had Italian applications pre-installed. Do you think this could be the cause?

Hello.
Status quo...
actually, with the vpn connection, I had a little hope. The error message is slower. 4/5 sec of beating before the message.
Do you have any suggestions ?
please?
thanks
is it because i have a french phone number that's not working?
any suggestions for my problem?
May I reconfirm with the situation here? Are you unable to add Mi Account on Mi Unlock or unable to unlock the phone due to other issues?
