Hi dears One of my friend was using a Redmi 5 Plus for few months
yesterday he changed his device and wanted to reset it, but it says invalid user name or Passward he tried to reset his passward and tried to reset device again but it again says invalid user or pass then he cleaned it by recovery mode now it asks for passward to activate it but always showing invalid passward.
he deleted his device in Mi cloud from web but it still asks pasward and don't accept it. Please help us how to activate it???
Thanks and best regards
I think by activate you mean unlock. assuming from your explanation i think Its FRP factory reset protection. There are ways to bypass it on Samsung phones. I am not sure if it can be done on xiaomi phone.

First of all you have to log in with the same mi account.. after successful signing in just add a new account and delete your former account..thats it.

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?
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 !

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.
A friend of mine (not very technical) asked me for help - he has a FRP locked Note 5 (M1803e7sg) - 'this device is locked' 'This device is associated with existing xiaomi account' message constantly is on screen, so we cannot do much more than emergency call or connect with Wi-Fi.
Apparently, his son, who used the phone do not remember the email he registered an account (or do not want to remember it), so we assume there is no way to get it back, nor unlock miui.
This phone is legit, this friend of my has proof of purchase. He even send the phone to official Xiaomi warranty service prior to giving me, but they told him they cannot do anything. Like at all.
I tried multiple ways from youtube manuals, including wiping data or the one with Talkback. But none works in my case and a phone is still locked.
I'm aware that neither Miui soft won't work on this device. But could you guys advise if there is a way to get twrp in this state, erase, put new software (cyanogen mod or what not) and guide me the easiest way to do that?
Twrp is not possible without unlocking bootloader.
CyanogenMod no longer exist.
If you can provide the version of miui then maybe we can help.
Can you go to setting enabled dev mode and on oem unlocking? If yes, maybe you can watch youtube.
Of course it is MIUI 10.

Hey, so I was contacting xiaomi support. They failed to help me because I dont have Mi account ID nor email address bound to this phone?
Are they not able to say which ID I was using on this particular phone? Cause I am not - I erased it. I also lost emial bound to this account.
I have my phone case with all the numbers, original proof of purchase from local retailer. The phone is 100% legit.
I just lost mi account ID, why is it so much of a problem right now? It's only an aco**** that I was not using to anything.
This is only hardware, right? Why software limits how the hardware is running? You can always erase all the software that is there, including bootloader and load other, unlocked software. Am I wrong?
EDIT: no, I'm not wrong. I haven't found a solution so far, but fortunately my social engineering helped and I managed to restore mi account and pass.
It's a shame that Xiaomi do not have a better way to go in such cases.
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.

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?
Hello everyone and thank you for reading my post! I had an Android which I kept in a different state after I moved. After I received it by mail (after 2.5 years) I did a factory reset because I did not remember the passcode. But now to open the Android it requests the Google login for the Google account I had on that phone. In the 2.5 years I didn't have that phone, I also began to use a different Google account and I don't remember the old one. IS there a way I can get past this? Maybe with some software or hackery?
Humbly,
Tom

@humbleTom
That's FRP (factory reset protection). Background: Let's pretend that your mobile device got stolen. The first thing a thief will do is to reset the phone, because without knowing the correct display pattern the device is pretty useless (and it's very hard to sold in that state ). Since the settings menu is also unreachable with a locked display the thief is forced to reset the phone via recovery mode. This mode must be always accessible by pressing the right key combo in case you are in serious trouble with an unbootable device. Doing it that way, the following setup of the device requires a login to the last active Google account to verify the owner.
This verification step is also required if you do a factory reset in your settings menu. But here the verification is done before you delete everything by entering your display pattern. This will disable FRP for the following reset because you have then verified that this device is yours.
@WoKoschekk thank you for your answer. Is there any software I can use? I once forgot the password to my windows computer and found software online that was able to unlock the computer. Do you know of anything like that for Androids?

We are talking of a security feature that protects the device. It's not allowed to give any help to bypass FRP in a public forum.
what phone model/android version we're talking about? samfw supports some devices.
