Device is locked after flashing ROM - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 / 5 Plus Questions & Answers

So, after having been stuck in a bootloop I flashed the latest global ROM in edl mode. Now I can boot again to MIUI but then there is the message "This device is locked. This device is associated with an existing Mi Account. For security reasons, you need to enter password to verify the device." The problem is I cannot remember having created an account. I tried to bypass the account with the Mi Account Unlock Tool, but it had no effect.

Did you use the latest Mi Unlocker? Did you install all available drivers for your device? Can you provide a screenshot in the Mi Unlocker and censor your Mi ID and other account details.

So does your PC have a Ryzen processor? And does it have only USB3 ports? If the answer to any of those questions is yes, that's your problem. Get a 4 port USB 2 hub and connect thru that. Use an Intel processor PC. Elle find an AMD PC that doesn't have a Ryzen processor.

Points to ponder to unlock bootloader of Poco F1
1) After taking permission from developer option>Mi unlcok status; wait for minimum 3 days.
2) Desable driver signature in windows 10 before installing any driver.
3) Check in the device manger that the android bootloader driver must be from Xiaomi inc.
4) Turn off any antivirus including Window defender if any in your PC
5) While in fastboot mode update the driver manually to save .inf file. This is must. If you fail to save .inf file for drivers then the drivers are not installed properly even if your phone shows in device manager. Remember that.
6) Now your are good to go.
Keeping MIUI account "signed in" ;MI cloud showing only one device i.e. Poco F1 and find device must be ON before trying to unlock bootloader.

any advice?
Appreciate in advance

Mi Unlock status stuck, keeps saying "Connect to network and try again" while net is

Mi Unlock status stuck, keeps saying "Connect to network and try again" while net is
I'm trying to activate Mi unlock status on my old redmi3 so I can unlock the bootloader using their tool, but every time I press the button it 1st says "Preparing to add account and device.." then near instantly " Connect to network and try again" (and if I try with no net then the 1st message doesn't show). The phone is tied to the Mi account, I know for sure since now every time I reinstall the ROMs it tells me is tied and I need to enter the Mi account password, its only Mi unlock status the doesn't and keeps the Mi unlocker from unlocking my bootloader.
Backstory:
So I have a redmi3 (ido) with android 5.1.1 bought in 2016, finally decided to try and update my phone from the ****ty vendor ROM (MIUI 6.9...smt) that had the updater bugged (the app couldn't also connect to net to check) and Mi unlock status missing, flashed MIUI 9.6.2.0 from the official site using their tool which fixed the updater (but now I can't downgrade) and now has Mi unlock but as I said it doesn't work.
What I tried so far:
-Log off Mi account and log in through the Mi unlock status (also tried using phone number as id)
-Change location to China or Indonesia then try again (tried both)
-Make sure the phone is the only device tied to the Mi account
-Enable "Find device" then use it to locate the phone (it was very accurate)
-try while having only Wi-fi or while having only mobile data on (tried both)
Here is some more info of the phone:
MIUI version: MIUI Global | Stable 9.6.2.0(LAIMIFD) (can also flash 9.6.1.0)
Android version: 5.1.1 LMY47V
Android security patch level: 2017-01-01
Baseband version: FAAANUZM-1.56482.1.63385.1_V013
Kernel version: 3.10.49.perf-g13b30f1
It also lets me enter in fastboot and EDL mode.
I had the same problem recently, after many tries I succeeded unlock bootloader.
Step by step guide:
1. Download xiaomitool and install.
2. Reboot phone to recovery.
3. In recovery menu choose Mi assistant, and connect to PC through USB.
4. Run xiaomitool and choose "My device is bricked and i want to unbrick it" and continue.
5. Xiaomitool will download chinese rom, this may take a while.
6. When its finish, in xiaomitool you can see message to set usb debugging, NOW you must power off phone, and enter to recovery again and select Mi assistant, like in step 2, and connect phone to pc throught USB, if you dont see this message xiaomitool should run next step.
7. Now Xiaomitool install chines rom, after reboot log into you account, unblock developer mode and click on mi unlock status when your wi fi is disable and mobile data is on.
9. Now unlock phone with mi Unlock.
10. AND DONE!!!!!

Buddy I'm the one you talked with on the Mi community forum so you already helped me : D
Only reason these are still up is that I couldn't find a delete button here : )) . Appreciate trying to help others in our similar situation tho
I am facing the same issue. The version of the ROM is exactly the same as the InowHateXiaomi's.
However, the method above doesn't seem to work. The XiaoMiTool V2 doesn't download the Chinese ROM.
I tried whatnot but cannot add the device to my account so that I can unlock it.
have tried this method..it tries to download the ROM but failed. dunno what wrong with my devices anymore.
Have you tried to
- install adb and fastboot;
- enter fastboot mode and fastboot oem unlock to unlock bootloader first?
it is not working, toker error or something...

even did accident the phone reset to factory defaults by fastboot lock and then window appeared to enter xiaomi account pass , thx god i had backups in google etc.

Same here, where to report this problem?
change Your region to asia close to china or china, and then register once again using vpn set as You were in asia - then it should be ok, no waiting for old phones, I noticed they are blocking central EU or even west but asia is treated differently
i use this method but still dont solve anything, its say missing coockies or anything

Question Hardbrick Redmi Note 10

Hi, I hope you can help me. I have a problem with my "Mojito" after installing miu version 13.09 there was an error that caused my laptop to turn off.
Since then my phone only starts in fastboot, I have tried to install different roms from different places on several occasions but the same error remains (Flashing Is not allowed in Lock State).
if your phone can boot to fastboot... you have a chance...
If you have internet , download Mi Unlock Tool and sign-in to your Mi Account then Unlock Bootloader again (don't worry about wait time you can unlock it inmediately if you already unlocked it before)
Phone will reboot and you can flash MIUI or a Custom Recovery/ROM again...
hope this can help

Unlocking the bootloader on Xiaomi Poco C40

Greetings. I've had a very painful week trying to unlock the bootloader of my Poco C40, I waited a week for the wait to finish so I can unlock it and when it was done I thought it was going to be smooth sailing from now on.
However, for some reason whenever I try to unlock it, it goes up to 50% and gets an error saying it couldn't verify my device and get info, and that I should connect it again.
I didn't know what it meant by connect again, so I tried reconnecting the USB cable (different ports, cables, etc...), re-adding my account for unlocking. Yet, neither of those options seem to have fixed the problem.
If you have some advice that you could give and it would be greatly appreciated.
Hi MitsuhashiIcy, Soory to say but Mi unlock works only with Qualcomm and Mediatek socs. And you have CHIPSET JLQ JR510 which is worse than Mediatek.
But still you can give try. I think by following the above instruction you can unlock the Bootloader :-
DOWNLOAD Xiaomi Poco C40 USB Drivers.
DOWNLOAD Mi Unlock Tool.
DOWNLOAD Xiaomi Poco C40 fastboot drivers.
FIRST DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL AVOBE FILES FIRST.
Step 1: Enable The Developer Option and OEM Unlock​Step 2: Time To Link Your Xiaomi Poco C40 with Mi Account​Step 3: Final Step: Unlocking Bootloader on Xiaomi Poco C40​ # Boot Xiaomi Poco C40 into Fastboot mode.
# Grab the original cable of your smartphone and then connect it to your PC while in fastboot mode.
# If you have downloaded the Mi Unlock tool from the above pre-requisites section, then simply just extract the zip file and then run the miflash_unlock.exe file.
# Also, proceed with logging into your Mi Account on the unlock tool with the right credentials.
# When you get successfully logged in to your Mi Account, the tool will begin to verify whether your phone is eligible for unlocking bootloader.
# After your phone gets verified, you will see the status on the tool displaying "Phone Connected".
# Now, just click on the "Unlock" button available on the tool interface to start the unlocking bootloader process.
# Once, you click the button, It will prompt a warning message, where you just need to ignore and click on the "Unlock Anyway" button.
# When the process gets complete, you will be served with a message displaying "Unlocked Successfully".
# At last, click on the button, so that your phone boots up in the unlocked bootloader state.
That's it... YOU CAN GIVE A TRY.

Thank you for the reply, I'm sorry I couldn't reply earlier as it was already late for me.
I have tried installing the adb drivers first through the adb-setup exe file, however, when I try to install it, it says that access was denied.
I decided to ignore it for now and go to the Mi Unlock tool that you've linked, I noticed it was a really old version but nonetheless I went with it. The first thing I noticed was how slow the sign in page was, I had to log in via qr scanner through another device because I couldn't manually put in my credentials.
After that I managed to sign in, but instead of directly taking me to the screen where it tells me to boot my phone to fastboot mode and connect it to my pc and all that stuff, it took me to this screen showing my phone number and email (which I've censored). I haven't found a way around this screen to get me to where I want to be.
Suppose I'm on my own once again.
I seem to have managed to unlock the bootloader for my Poco C40 with the official Mi Unlock tool using version 7.6.602.42, so if anyone wants to know whether or not it is possible to unlock Poco C40's bootloader with Mi Unlock, now you know.
