Hi guys.
I really need your expert advice on my problem I've been trying to troubleshoot the last hours.
I recently changed the pattern to unlock my phone.
it's a droid razr with latest MIUI official (ICS)
Today I tried to unlock it and failed it. I was really almost sure about the code, it was composed of the 4 bottom squares, so not many possibilities. I tried all of them and nothing worked, so I suspect a bug, but ok I was tired and changed the code yesterday, so let's imagine I type the wrong code and used all my possibilities.. I was not really worried are I was sure there was way to go around this.
The problem is that it seems MIUI is buggy, as it should ask for my google username/password to unlock, but it just reboot when I try to unlock.
anyway my phone is not having internet connection so from what I saw it will not work.
also, the razr is not having any recovery, well I mean you need a specific application to go into it so I cannot launch it since I cannot acces to phone apps
so I really see no option to go back to my phone data. I think I could restore a official rom, but it would mean loose all my data. I'd really like to keep my sms especially the 5 last one I received today and cannot read. So if anybody has an interesting idea, i'd be more than happy to hear it.
thanks and hope you'll be inspired!
cheers
Good afternoon,
I have Xiaomi RedMi 3 Pro with official MIUI 8 6.9.1 by miuios.cz (official Czech translated multilingual ROM) and I have a big problem - everyone can unlock this phone using unauthorised fingerprints that are not scanned and saved as trusted. I can unlock phone at the third attempt every time! And using almost every part of my body (yes, almost every part, trust me... ).
Fingerprint sensor can unlock authorised fingers too, it works, but sometimes other fingers or body parts can unlock phone too...
I did a FR after this update (wipe cache, dalvik, data) and didn't work. It is possible that I didn't notice this weird bug using older ROMs.
May I ask for your help? Fingerprint sensor makes my machine free-to-unlock for persistent thiefs and non-friendly persons Also, makes it like clear RedMi 3 (without PRO)
Thanx from Czech Republic.

Normally after 3 attempts with a wrong finger, the unlock screen is displayed to be able to input the pass code or the pattern (In my case it's the pattern unlock screen).
So I'm wondering if you have correctly set a pass code or a pattern to unlock.

I think it was solved (I don't want to jinx it ) - the password (PIN) was set correctly, but in Settings was allowed 1 minute idle for unlocking without a password. I selected "no idle". That probably solved my problem
IMHO: Xiaomi needs to fix it, it is probably bug
Thanx a lot for your time!
It is actually not a bug. That feature is used so that users do not have to unlock the screen again in the selected amount of time, useful if they wanted to do something quick and removing the effort to unlock the phone by FP or any type of security. Cheers!

I have just purchased a Xiaomi mi 8 lite and went through the process of unlocking the bootloader but it says I have to wait 360 hours which is an absolute joke. does anyone know a website that unlocks Xiaomi smartphones as I cant wait that long. many thanks.
Hello guys, after succesfull Bootloader unlock and flashing new os i have no Sound at all, no phone call etc, fp isnt working too, any sugestions?
Just wait. Everyone had to wait.
I got rid of the phone in the end only had it a few days, hated the retarded process of having to wait to unlock the bootloader and the even more crazy process of unlocking it. Got myself a Xiaomi Mi A2 with stock Android pie 9 so much better than the overbloated Miui software.
I read somewhere else (do not recall exactly where), the reason for the long wait is they want you to get two weeks of MIUI advertising. Once the phone has been activated for at least 2 weeks, it will unlock instantly using their unlocking software, no wait required. Can anyone confirm this?

You have to enable developer options to bind the phone to your miui account to start the unlock countdown of 360 hrs (better than the 720 it was). During the wait period you must not logout of miui account (factory reset, change from stable to beta or vice versa) or you will no longer be able to use that miui account to unlock ever! You will have to create a new account and start over at 360hrs again. Once all the requirements are meet then unlock software will work without issue.

I have been trying to make it happen, but it keeps telling me that my account is not associated with my phone number, which it is.
Developer options have been enabled since within 10 minutes of owning this phone. However something I missed, you have to link your account within Developer options by entering the "Mi Unlock Status" item and clicking "Add Account and Device". Anyway, I did this but still no love. Still says there is no phone number associated with my account. Grrrrr. Any ideas anyone? I really love this phone so far, but may still exchange it for the Pocophone. F1.
Also, on a side note. Once the bootloader is unlocked, is it possible to re-lock it?
I read on the MIUI forum that if you launch the unlock process with a chines IP address and with your email, not the phone number, with a VPN, you could unlook in less than an hour
I discovered the information too late, I'm in the 360h waiting list ...

I read this somewhere too, using a VPN will do the trick. However when you register your phone with your account in the Dev Opts, it makes you turn off WIFI and register via 4G/LTE (probably for GPS location data). That doesn't necessarily mean it would still not unlock if the PC unlocking tool is connected to a Chinese VPN, just casts my doubts.
Anyway, I finally got it to take....after I created a new Mi account and got the phone number registered. However the message the Unlock tool gives upon successfully starting the unlock process is very uninformative. It says something like "Couldn't unlock device after 360 hours of trying". I have not even owned this phone for 360 hours!! After googling for this crazy error, I found it is "Engrish" for "Must wait 360 hours to unlock your device". JEEZE!! Go figure!!
I really can understand making one wait for a certain amount of time to unlock it, just to give the owner enough time to erase the data on a potentially stolen or lost phone. Nobody, I mean NOBODY, is going to wait 15 days before remotely erasing their phone. But then again, when the BL is unlocked, it will automatically erase all the data anyway, so perhaps my point is moot.
I have my house as the smart unlocked location so I don't have to mess around unlocking it all the time however it doesn't seem to stick, I have to keep resetting it, does anyone else have this?
I Just had my place, I had it before but it never really work,and now I wiped my all device with 9.1 update. So just put back my location to be able to unlock my phone without fingerprint or face ID but it looks like it doesn't work because I still need my face or fingerprint.... ??
hello,
Is it possible to only allow fingerprint unlock on my device?
Currently as far as I can see a pin or pattern is still required.
It would like to get rid of that.
Thanks.
Need pin to enable Fingerprint unlock. No way that I know to get round it.
Ni u can't and it is for good. If you burn your finger u can not unlock your phone, if you somehow brake the fingerprint sensor, u can not unlock your phone. You can only fingerprint and once in 72 hours it asks for pin so u can not forget it. That's it and this is how it should be

Since an earlier MIUI update this year my F1 requires entering the PIN every boot/reboot. After that the fingerprint reader works fine until the next reboot. And I recently unlocked the F1 and found the face scanner is finally working so I switched to it. Sadly, same reboot/enter PIN requirement as the fingerprint reader. Interesting that you're getting 72 hour intervals Gowcoizer. Is there a setting for that interval?
