Hello,
I have a Redmi Note 4 with qualcomm snapdragon running on miui 11. It is working perfectly with no issues. I have tried unlocking the bootloader in previous attempts but in vain. I have followed all steps correctly and yet did not achieve what I had to do. I would like to summarize what I have tried doing to unlock:
Connecting Mi Account
Logged out>Logged back in>Followed all steps leading to Mi Unlock in Developer Options
Mi Flash Unlock
Installed appropriate drivers>Enabled device location tracking (some sites suggested to do this) on Mi website>Everything goes smoothly>Error Message
Description of the error message (Unfortunately I did this procedure 6 months back, so please forgive me if I have the error code wrong):
Unlocking failed: getServiceToken missing/Token missing (or something along those lines).
After being fed up of Mi Unlock, I tried using XiaoMiTool V2 published by Francesco Tescari and went ahead. Again the same error.
Is there something I am doing wrong? Please let me know.
Thanks for reading this.
Hope you have a good day
Mr. Noob.

Hi there. I was following a guide on how to unlock the bootloader for the xiaomi redmi note 3 pro and it failed on the last step as i entered fastboot oem-unlock go
now when i rebooted the phone, it started up a new setup process and in the end it says my phone is locked to another mi account and that i cannot access it without the password. according to the miui forums there is a way to bypass this, but when i start extracting the .tgz file, i dont get the same files as listed and when i try to flash it again using miflash, it says files missing and i cannot proceed.
How do i get this issue fixed up so that i can get my phone back to at least function without all headache? I have flashed and unlocked a nexus device before but it never gave me such issues. Thanks in advance
(unfortunately it seems that i cannot post outside links as its a new account)
i managed to unbrick my phone, but going through the unlock process, after i enter fastboot oem unlock-go it would give me the result of Failed: token verification failed. how should i proceed

Try flash latest developer rom then use unlock tool!
Got the unlock permission yesterday. I followed every method and suggestion that was floating around this forum before coming to write this thread.
I get the Current account is not bound to this device error.
Tried binding, I get the 86012 error.
Some people say wait for a couple of days, while there are people who are waiting for months and still failing to unlock.
Surprisingly there is no official post from Xiaomi if one should wait for a couple of days after getting the unlock permission.
I recently bought this device and I am at a loss here. I tried every possible solution out there. Except I haven't tried flashing a dev rom yet, but there are people who said you do not need a dev rom, just enable OEM unlocking from developer options and USB debugging and it does make sense. If the global ROM has the option for OEM unlocking then why do I need to flash a Dev ROM? Also where is the official post from Xiaomi which suggests that?
There are just people with their experiments and posting what helped them succeed. Is there anyone who has figured it out right? Help me understand what exactly am I missing here guys.
Edit: I also tried unlocking with lower versions of the unlock tool. Stucks at 50%. FlyVPN doesn't connect, and if it does, there's no internet connectivity, the websites won't load, internet won't work.
Hey, you're not alone bud.
Ive got my device unlocked after 15 days, 7 days after getting unlocking permissions.
Actually everyone faces this 50%stuck error with older version of mi unlock tool, with the new one everyone facing the error like 99% stuck or account not bound error.
What you have to do is just wait with the stable rom which your device shipped with, everytime you try to unlock your phone, you'll get failed for a Buncha reasons. The possible reason be like, account isn't bound yet, failed to verify device info, failed to locate device on i.mi.com etc..
So, when I got permissions, what I did was just do not rush to unlock my device, I know MIUI sucks but still, I got on pc after 2 days of permission then tried to unlock bootloader, it was failed with error failed to verify device information-50% stuck error. I too tried binding my mi account with the help of fly VPN but got the same error 86012 - Device not found.
Then, I just stopped trying to unlock my device every now and then, I've hit find my device option, enabled oem unlocking & USB debugging from dev settings, 5 days later, plugged in my device and hit unlock, it was successfully unlocked.
Eh, then you know TWRP+custom ROM'd it.
I suggest you to wait few more days, like 2-3 days, do not try to unlock your device in between, just wait.. 3 days later get on pc, use old unlock tool and try unlocking your phone. That's gonna works.
Again, do not try every now and then, give Xiaomi servers to sync up your device's details, as I read somewhere they update their server so slowly.
#That'sitall
UPDATE : Okay so i finally unlocked the bootloader finally. before the last try, i turned off the password/fingerprint lock and then it unlocked. everyone should try the same thing
I done every possible steps but nothing is happening! the bootloader unlock process always getting stuck at 99% and Account Bound error is coming on the PC and on the phone, "86012:*****" error showing on 'settings-additional settings-dev option-Mi Unlock status'.
I tried with 2 different Mi phone/account.
done with i.mi.com stuffs and find device, tried FlyVPN but there is no server of 'Shanghai"... etc!
Nothing is happeneing! I am a beta tester of MIUI 9 China, and see, i couldn't even unlock the bootloader yet! Wow! What a thing! Its been a week and so, still my bootloader is locked.
No help from Xiaomi.
I need a promising way to unlock. so help me.
See, I have unlocked three RN4 devices, none without the wait.
Had to wait 6-7 days for each one of them. There has been no luck for me in doing anything other than wait for 6-7 days after getting the permission.
But then, maybe something might work out for you.
The steps I tried or know of:
1. Being on the developer ROM is a must. Chances of unlocking bootloader from global stable MIUI are very slim.
2. Use old Mi Unlock tool. A quick google will land you there.
3. Don't change the accounts in the phone. You should be logged in with the account you got permission in.
4. Go to developer options and check "USB Debugging", "OEM Unlock" and one more option something sort of "USB Debugging Security".
5. Try to bind the account. It will yield a response with some code and Chinese text. Ignore it.
6. Use the original cable and use the ports on the back of the CPU.
7. Keep "Find my device" turned on. And log in to your account in your desktop and try locating your phone.
8. Now try unlocking.
I followed all the above steps I could find out from anywhere and I was able to do it.
In your case I do think you are either not in the developer build or you need to use the old Mi tool.

After removing fingerprints and password also - nothing doing. I had applied/received unlock permission from MI on Monday, and today is Wednesday, but it keeps showing "Could not unlock after 31 hours of attempt".. Dont know what that means since from my count, it is more than 42 hours
Hello,
Yesterday I purchased a Redmi Note 5 Indian Unit which is on MIUI 9.5 Global on 7.1.2 Nougat.
I wanted to flash lineage os for the phone as I truly hate MIUI skin. But unlocking a bootloader makes a big problem, when I tried to unlock the bootloader; It tells me to wait for 360 hours, I went through all the threads here, but none helped me, I tried the bypass method with 2 different accounts but that does not work as well, maybe because MI stated that users no longer need permission to unlock. Please help me to unlock my bootloader, I cannot live with a MIUI, and there is no point in using the phone because in 15 days I will have to format the device again after unlocking the bootloader, so please help me. I have Indian Unit of the phone, so if that is what makes the problem, please tell me.
Reply ASAP.
follow the thread NO ERROR 86006 in guides section. u just need a new account and 5 min of spare time.

I tried with two accounts that worked for me 2 weeks before. First account you bind and apply for bootloader unlocking. After that, make sure your device is identified in mi cloud web. Find my device option. And after you got 360 hours wait. Create a new account and login into it in phone. Go back to bootloader and now it will unlock. I hope this method will work now.
Hi there, so recently I bought a Redmi Note 4x from a Chinese seller in an online shopping store on our country.
I opened it up to see MIUI 8 but all in Chinese, though I managed to get it to English. Got it upgraded (OTA) to MIUI 9 and 10 global stable.
When I try to unlock the bootloader (new method), I always get error 20091 on Mi Unlock Status, even though my account has been binded to my phone.
I even tried Mi Unlock tool, but it returns an error after hitting 99% *see attachment (63)*.
I'm really puzzled by this since I just found out the phone wasn't an official global version. (Thru xiaomi product verification) so I decided to try and do something about it. I even tried shifting from Global stable to Global developer, still no luck, the same errors appear on Mi Unlock status and Mi Unlock app.
I even went as far as disassembling the phone and forcing it into EDL test point mode, and then flashing global developer fastboot rom via MiFlash as stated on this guide https://c.mi.com/thread-1479882-1-0.html but still I cant unlock my bootloader and the same problems appear.
UPDATE: I also tried using an unofficial unlock tool (which made my shift from global stable to global dev possible) but the xiaomi unlock server returns me error 20038 *see attachment (64)*
I really need some help since I want to unlock its bootloader and mod this phone.
Ps. btw, I even tried using different Mi Unlock tool version, but still got the same set of problems.
That link you shared is very good. I'm really surprised that it didn't work for you.

I'm even surprised it didnt work....maybe it has something to do with my hardware itself. I do think my hardware isnt made by xiaomi, since when I opened it up, only thing I saw (that i think made by xiaomi) is the battery....does it ring any bells?
Did you solve the problem? I have a Redmi Note 8 and the xiaomi server is responding with the same code:/

Error 20091 on Mi Unlock Status was a cause of the situation that your phone was binded to another Mi Account (probably the first owner of your phone if you bought it on the cheap). This altogether explains why I have that weird chinese error with something like a Mi Account ID in the error message in Mi Unlock. Error 20038 is also the same problem in the case of the XiaoMi Unlock Tool unfortunately.
The only way to resolve this would be to ask the previous owner of the phone to unbind the phone from his/her Mi Account and then trying to bind again, at least that's what I read on Mi Community Forums (Reference: https://in.c.mi.com/thread-1731805-1-0.html)
I also have error 20091 on my phone now.... trying to unlock the bootloader.
Really hoping to see ways to solve it.
Hello. I have a Redmi Note 4 Snapdragon 64 GB which I bought used and the last user didn't log out before doing a fabric restoration and I cannot unlock the bootloader and I get an Error 20038 in XiaoMiTool-V9.11.10 (Error 20091 on Mi Unlock).
I have downloaded mido_global_images_8.12.20_20181220.0000.00_7.0_global_3947ba5143.tgz (mido_developer_fastboot), modded rawprogram0.xml, added persist.img, entered in EDL mode (with testpoint) and flashed and when starts for the first time i get a message that says "This device is locked" and "Activate this device" but I have not the original account used to bind it.
Then, now I am in a worst scenario because I didn't get to UBL and I cannot use it with MIUI. Now it is a bricked device.
Any idea of how I can get out of this situation?
Thank you very much

I think the best course of action here is to ask the person whom you bought the phone from for help. If you are from Philippines and bought RN4X from Lazada on some cheap deals, then you've got a big problem returning it nor getting help from the seller.

The person who sold me the mobile says that he doesn't know who created this MI account and then is not possible to do the unlock in the proper way. I have a mobile phone that has a key to protect it but I have not the key and the person who sold me neither.
What about this? https://romprovider.com/bypass-mi-account/
