50% while unlock bootloader

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

This device is associated with an existing Mi Account

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.?

U can apply for bootloader unlocking permission here : http://en.miui.com/unlock
Then install twrp from the mediatek section and then install a custom rom like cm12.1 or resurrection remix 5.5.9. U should be good

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 !

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.

Deleted my mi account without signing out from mobile

I Decided to DELETE(via browser) my Mi Account and create a new one to avoid any hassles while unlocking my bootloader by MI UNLOCK(with the idea of creating a fresh mi acc) . But unfortunately I realized I didn't log out from the deleted mi account in my REDMI NOTE 4. And i can't factory reset my phone since it asks me the password for a mi account that does not exist.
I tried every solution the internet had to offer me.... But Nothing helped me.
And I came to know that RedmiNote4 cannot be booted into EDL mode(emergency download Mode) via fastboot method.
My Bootloader is still locked and I don't a mi account to apply for unlocking the BL.
And here I am.. Hoping XDA is the ONE....
I Don't want to boot edl mode by TEST POINT METHOD cuz my mobile is months old... Help me out.

Mi Account is on the persist partition. So can't be removed forcefully.
You can try to do this with Mi Flash. It will install a fresh recovery ROM from scrap.
But if doesn't help, then I'm afraid you are left with a paperweight.
The only solution that comes to mind is, to make a Mi Account with the same e-mail or phone number and than try again.
If above don't work, then contact the service centre.

I know it works fine. You mentioned it earlier. I'm just suggesting you methods to remove it or gain access either way to your account. If its working fine and you can bear with it, then its ok.
The problem will arise when you will either try to sell it or format it.

do you know what they did? I have the same problem but I dont have ay mi service center near me
Same problem here
Solved
Hi there, if you are still facing this problem i have the 100% right solution.
just send a mail to your country customer service center mentioning your problem.
Describe them you deleted the account.
Attach some screenshots with them.
But If your service center replies that they can not do anything for you don't lose hope.
send a mail to Malaysia Xiaomi service center "[email protected]"
and global service center mail: [email protected]
I contacted with Indian service center they could not / did not want to help me out.
But Hong Kong and Malaysia service center replied me quickly and provided me the solution.
I am not sure which among the 3 worked: Malaysia or Hong-Kong or Global but it worked.
Have some patience. It took 4 days for me.

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.
