Hi everyone,
Tried to unlock my boot loader and the 'internal error 20091' message. After lots of searching I got some reply from internal Xiaomi staff, saying that it has got to do with the persist.img being broken. I tried with all my knowledge to understand how to extract and repair it but I just don't understand. Would there be someone that can assist please? Eternal thanks
In short:
when binding the account top the device I got error 20091
persist.img is corrupted, changed, damaged or something and needs to be repaired. (new phone out of the box no idea how but okay)

Hi,
Thank you for your reply. As, the OEM-unlock is enabled. I have unlocked boot loaders in the past and never got this before. Last unlock was many months ago so I have reached my limit. Wifi is off, Sim-card has data, SMS can be received, find my phone is activated, etc all requirements are met.
So, I understand that the persist.img need to be repaired, so I was wondering on how to do that. Would you know?

8)My Queries to Developers,Moderators,Anyone[optional for unlockers..it's my doubts]--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1)Notes[Things to know]
a) Mi Flash Unlock tool is not fake
b)Unlocking bootloader does not void ur warrenty
c)after unlocking u'll not lose any data
d)No need to go for any developer/china roms
e)if i miss anything i'll update it later
f)if u think that this post does not belong in this section then i'm sorry.. i want every one to find it easily So i posted in here
2)Unlocking ways
u guys has seen many ways for unlocking in our forums
But i'm sorry to say none of them worked for me..If u Succeed in those then u r lucky ..Otherwise go for this...
I'm also the one like u facing this problems like
i)Account verify failed...
ii)Current account is different from Device info on this device...
iii)e.t.c
the unlocking ways i found in our miui is
http://en.miui.com/thread-336034-1-1.html
http://en.miui.com/thread-223915-1-1.html
e.t.c
Some of them had unlocking by above ways..They also works..But!!!!
if u still have problem with unlocking ..then go for My unlocking way
DISCLAIMER ..I'm not at all telling that above or any other ways of unlocking are wrong or not all working
3)My unlocking way[Requirements also]
I'm Having Redmi 3s..And the requirements is Same for all ..Except in recovery
First of all There's no need of Touch ur mobile..Let it be as it is
Like no removing of account/data/not turn of device/nor sync off .... Nothing At all
4)Procedure
Here's the Technique
Trick 1)
I Recomend to Do this All Process in Private/Incognito Browing ..
i)Create A New Mi Account [I Suggest Go for Any Private Browsing/Incognito Window ] And Sign's up...Verify Mobile/Email
ii)Log in to that account in mi forums And create a Nick name/or simply copy paste ur account id as nick name
iii)Don't Log out
iv)Go to this link http://www.miui.com/unlock/apply.php
[[Those who have Problem to open this page like "u r automatically redirected to Download page" Has to follow my recomendation in order that log out from ur previous accounts And clear ur browsing data of mi pages]]
Fill up the Forum..
In the description like ...[[i understand the risks of unlocking and i request to give me unlock permissions]] Like any thing u wish
verify phone via OTP ...if ur Account is verified and it says Proceesing And u receive a sms with in 10 days then u r Half Done
All U HAve to do Wait 2 Minimum Days.I Feel Sorry for that But A new account creation is neccesary in my trick [COZ i succeded in that]
After 2 days Check ur phone For SMS Like "You Have Been granted For permissions To unlock ur device .." Then Ur 75% Done
v) Simply Download this attachment
MiFlashUnlock_1.0.1225.2 IT IS OF CHINEESE VERSION
If the Download link is not working Inform me Or u can download Latest Mi FlashUnlock tool ..But i didn't test in that ..i guess it also works
vi)Run it as administrator / no need at all [[I'm just giving what i did]]
log in with the account which u CREATED PREVIOUS TIME AND APPLY FOR UNLOCK PERMISSIONS
vii) Connect ur device in fastboot mode..If u dont have fastboot drivers Install Mi flash tool lastest version ...if still problem persists Disable Driver Signature enforment in windows by follow up this tutorial http://en.miui.com/thread-237673-1-1.html
viii)If it shows unlock button then click on it..With in a second u r device is unlocked..then u r very luckiest guy in this world..else u'll see again ur old Friend error "Current account is different from Device info on this device..."
Mostly U wont get error ..COZ the main trick here is creating new accont get permissions and dont log in with that new account in any device except in mi flash unlock after getting permissions......Because of that account does not have any connected devices..And this trick only works for one new mail=one unlock...After that u'll get ur old friend error in chineese
Trick 2
I Feel Sorry That u didn't succeded in my first trick..Here's an another way for u
1)Again Create a new account Apply for permissions Dont log in to any device..after/before sms confirmation
Step 2)open only that Chinnese link i provided[[Run it as administrator ]]..Log in to that account
3)If u see unlock button immediatly Disconnect ur net Connect ur phone in fastboot then click on unlock button..u'll see an error of 0*500 something now connect to internet then again click on unlock button
u'll 100% unlock ur device ..
This Trick is a combination of my technique and other two senior members [above link ] in this forum
If u r busy guy like me and cant wait for another two days ..then try with the previously new account details as login details in step 2 ...but i cant assure u unlock may be 50-50 chances...
5)Proofs&Screenshots
Attachment is below
6)Bonus
1)At the time of mi account creation create two accounts and apply for permissions on both accounts it's saves time right..in case if u didn't succed in first trick
2)After the device is successfully unlocked download this TWRP and use this command in minimal adb/whatever u have
fastboot boot recovery.img
Copy the Code
to back up ur device with out system modifications
3)that file was not mine ..it belongs to another moderator.. And the recovery is of redmi 3s
4)Keep the system partition read only and backup the device ..might be useful at future
5)After backup u can flash the recovery ..u have the idea about remianing thing right !!!
7) CREDITS
All credits Goes for Mi forum moderators,Developers,And Everyone.
A special Credits Goes To my friend SivaPrabhas
8) My Queries to Developers,Moderators,Anyone
Here's What i did.... before i have locked bootloader..i downloaded fastboot images put the device in edl mode and change the recovery file img to twrp img and rename it to recovery.img..And flash the All os files.. flashed successfully but still it shows stock recovery
that's why i'm wondering about that ..And i changed the boot file to twrp image .. it flashed the files succesfull But it stuck on mi logogo and lead me to qualocom diagonostic mode 900E Because of partioning mismatch [i guess ] luckily i'm having fastboot coz the flasher first flashes the bootloader and mbn files
i initiate fastboot oem edl command then i'm in edl mode and flashed the device to previous state ..After that i stopped the work it's a new phone guys [1 week ] i got feared
So my query is how it still can't boot into twrp recovery mode if it's flashed successfull in edl mode [i checked the log file ]
I guess because of encryption process of system partition after flashing ..so again what i did is after flashing the fles immediatly i boot on to recovery still the device automatically loops .. and start encryption
Thank u everyone...Sorry for the long post & if i did something wrong ..
Hope This can help many ..
Kindly notify me whether it succeeds or fails
Peace Out,,,,,,,,
Nice

I did not follow this method. I used the standard approach with one small deviation. I requested unlock and received it in 2 days. When I tried to use the miunlock tool it gave me an error about "Current account info is different...". I just waited for two weeks and tried again. Viola! It unlocked without any hassles. I think it just needs few days for the unlock approval to actually "migrates" to the account.

Finally succeeded. This time it showed 'No Mi Phone connected'. But using the old unlocked version did the trick.

That fastboot oem unlock-go command won't work.
OK, follow these steps:-
a) Reboot to Fastboot mode by pressing Power and Vol down buttons for 10 seconds.
b) Download the MiUnlock tool and enter your credentials first. It will check whether your Mi account has permission to unlock (you must have permission from Xiaomi to unlock).
c) It will detect your phone as Mi Phone and proceed to unlock.
d) It will verify whether the Mi account in your phone and the credentials of the Mi account you entered on the PC are the same.
e) It will unlock your device for sure!
If it says some sort of verification error aka. the famous stuck at 50%, wait for some days like for a week and try again, it may work even in 2 days! Keep trying!
Good Luck!:good::highfive:
Thank you!

And why the command will not work, can you please tell me? Also this command gives the same error "fastboot OEM unlock bootloader". Hope you can help .

It's not that problematic, actually it is the easiest way to unlock bootloader!
Unofficial bootloader is the very "problematic" method.
Anyhow, Are you looking for unofficial bootloader unlock? Then go here and follow the steps correctly, dont skip any step.
And for your second question, Xiaomi has complicated the bootloader unlock process by heavy encryption. That's why you couldn't unlock Redmi Note 3 as any Moto device!

OK that's why I'm having so much problem to unlock it. I just want to ask do you know any other way to fix the problem I'm having with this error. Cause the post you gave me tells how to unlock the RN3 temporary :crying: but the thread I followed helps to unlock it permanently :good: (how I know cause I used similar commands on my Canvas A1) and I followed almost every step properly.
I don't understand why companies emerged as custom ROMs stops supporting customisation, at least don't make it hard. I just wanted to flash my RN3 with a Custom ROM like CM13 cause MIUI is not supporting 4G networks properly of multiple operators that's why, for which I needed a custom recovery and for which I needed unlocked bootloader.
I just don't understand , all this so that no one could copy their ROM or I don't know for what . It's just makes things difficult for normal people and no one else. Locks can't keep a thief away. If anyone wants to break into their system than one will, if he/she uses right tools properly. Why make normal people lives' difficult?
ALSO I WANT TO ASK MORE THING, if in first case, I get into fastboot mode just after the ROM flash & before very first ROM boot and run this command and if in second case, the room gets booted and then I go into fastboot mode & run the command, DOES IT CREATES ANY CHANCE OF NON-OCCURRENCE OF THAT ERROR IN FIRST CASE?.

The thread I gave you was not temporary, it is permanent and it is temporary till you get the official unlock permission. Actually it's a permanent 'safe' solution.
Xiaomi did it for security of data, not to stop customising. If it had to stop users from customising, xiaomi wouldn't have given you warranty even if you root or it may not even have given you an option to unlock bootloader!

I got this error too but i forgot how to fix it.
Something about the 'disable driver signature' or the modified rom that you flash before you trying to unlock.

By your name, I think you are an Indian, so which Sim you are using? You need to do a 4G pack recharge first to use LTE, VoLTE won't work in custom ROMs right now.

I appreciate your help but the post you gave me is for non-asian countries so it will not work for me. As you already know I'm an Indian so that's why. Are you an Indian, only asking cause in that way you may already faced the problems i'm having.
I'm only familiar with only 2 4G networks for now. One is Airtel 4G, what they say have FDD LTE network, I don't what that is, but that's why it's not working on my phone, I contacted them and they said that my phone doesn't support it, I don't know why cause it support much more LTE Bands other than any smartphone in that price range. Second is Jio 4G, my sim gets detected, shows network in manual selection but doesn't get registered on them. I see only the message of 'No Service' or 'Emergency calls only' when I insert it.

Hi,
Has anyone tried to unlock the bootloader on their new phone? If so, what was the wait time you were given by Xiaomi? Am curious as recent Xiaomi phones have vastly increased waiting times for unlocking but as this phone is a global model and supposedly developer friendly I am hoping to not have to wait weeks when I receive mine.
Also, as an oem unlock does a full reset, is there any good method for performing a nandroid style backup of all apps and associated settings so if I do have to wait, I don't need to set everything up twice?

AFAIK there is no way to take a nandroid backup without rooting your device. Now if you could root your phone without unlocking the bootloader that might just do.
However there are few exceptions like HELIUM you can try.

Xiaomi changed the bootloader unlock policy. Now, you can unlock the bootloader after 3 days. I just unlocked mine which was showing 720hours.

Has the oem unlock switch actually stuck in the correct position, it's a stupid switch that reverts itself, when you leave the screen you gotta click it a few times, sorry if you knew that already
I've been unlocking my kenzo since day 1 with no hassles. Recently I decided to flash a fastboot rom so solve my proximity sensor problem (which it didn't, ofc). Then I tried to unlock the bootloader to roll back to my previous twrp backup but after trying to unlock, it sticks at 99 percent showing a description in Chinese. Thanks to the recent advancees in technology(!) I could translate it to English.
It says "The phone is not used in the specified time, unable to unlock"
I just ask for permission in the developer options while OEM unlocking switch is on, and after that I reboot into fastboot mode right away to unlock the device. What the heck am I supposed to do?

They are already auto. and no proxies for pc.
I tried for months but ended up using unofficial method. It is impossible to unlock unofficially for kenzo since 8,9 months.

I didn't say I was using the chinese version, I downloaded the official one that the unlocking page gives me which is in English. But that specific error was written in chinese. Like something from the server.

PLEASE ANSWER THE QUESTION AT THE END
Hello everyone.
Following is the list of events:
1. Got the China K20 Pro with China Rom.
2. Unlocked the bootloader the normal way.
3. Flashed Indian Rom but accidentally left "Clean and lock" checked.
4. Phone was not booting because it said "This version of MIUI cant be used etc".
5. Tried to recover with MIAssist .
6. Now phone says "System has been destroyed" .
Now when I try to unlock it again it Mi Unlock tool says ""Wait 30 days"
I just want to ask the community.
QUESTION : Will I be able to unlock this phone again after 30 days using the same account I used the first time?
DID MY ACCOUNT REMAIN BINDED TO THE PHONE AFTER THE UNLOCK?
I want to unlock it and flash it with Mi Flash tool.
Thank you for reading.
SOLUTION ON POST 22
There is a thread somewhere here advising to use old version of Miflash tool that will allow you to flash china miui again so your phone is usable again and start from scratch

Doesn't work. Tried
Do you think I can unlock the phone with the same account after 30 days? Or will I get the "You phone is not bound to this phone " error

In theory you should be OK to unlock the phone, otherwise at this point, you would get that error now and not see the wait 30 days to unlock message.
However those people that have done the same as you and posted on here have used the test point method to boot into EDL mode and then flash via an authorised account. I'm not aware that anyway has had the patience to wait the 30 days to see if they can unlock.

I thought so too but I checked it with another K20 and it still gave the message"Try again after 30 days" which makes me think that it might not unlock my phone after 30 days

I have exactly the same experience with your device last 2 months ago. I just got lucky because it was last days of the month 29th day. Tried to unlock again the on the 1st day of the the next month and unlocking bootloader was successful.
You can still unlock it using the same mi account.
Flashed again indian ROM thru fastboot but just choose clean all.

YES!
1. It was already binded with the mi account the first time i flashed it and experience bricked. No option to boot the system.
2. Unlock again same account. Successfully unlocked bootloader.
3. Flashed again (clean all only) with indian ROM, phone successfully booted normally.

That message is just because you can only unlock one phone a month with a standard MIUI account.
Because you've already unlocked a phone this month you'll see that message for any phone you try and unlock before 1st November

Okay so you mean that If I wait a month I can unlock it without opening the phone right?

For your case yes.
As mentioned above also by other senior member.
If you flashed it and bricked it this October then By November try to unlock it again and hopefully unlocking will be successfull. Then flash again with your preferred rom.

For me also this is happened two days before you need to wait for 30 days or you need to EDL testpoint method. I fixed by EDL testpoint method there is one Russian guy with authorized MI account he did it for $15.

The phone still shows connected in my Mi Cloud. Is that good enough?

Actually after the bootloader unlock I never signed in with any Mi account. What I mean to say is that after that one time I never messed with the Mi account at all.
And I realllllllyyy dont want to disassemble my new phone . So im gonna take the chance
Ok.. so this is what happened to me some days ago..
•Use old miUnlock tool(to bypass 30days timer)
• Use "MiFlash tool pro" to flash firmware. (you don't need to go in EDL mode because it flashes from fastboot mode.)
Keep in mind do not select 'Clean and lock again' xD
