Guys please help me. I'm trying to unlock my bootloader. The first step that I'm doing is binding the mi account and device. So on Developer Options, I chose Mi Unlock Status, then hit "Add account and device", but it always says "Connect to the network and try again". I could not bind it at all. Is there any solution?
Thanks in advance!
btw, I'm using the latest global stable rom.
Try flashing developer roms before unlocking, it worked on my redmi note 3, maybe it'll works on mi 6, haven't tried it on my mi6.

Thanks man. By flashing dev rom over my global stable, do I just need to copy the .zip file of the dev rom to the sd card, then flash it using the updater app?
By the way, I managed to bind the account on my global stable. I just logged in to the i.mi.com (from PC), then checked my mobile if the Find Device is enabled, then I turned on my GPS. I chose "Find Device" on the i.mi.com then after it found my device, I tried to add account and device again on Developer Options>Mi Unlock Status and now my device and mi account is bound. Now I have to wait 72 hours because that's what the mi flash unlock says, pfff.
Flash dev rom would be my last option.
I tried to unlock on 21 august and now,after more than 72 hours it look again another 72 hours,what can i do?
The phone is associated correctly with my account,i have permision,all fine.
After the first try,i flashed global developer.maybe this is the cause?
Now i am o global dev rom

I am trying to Unlock bootloader of My Mi Max from last 4 days but always getting an error "Couldn't Verify Device" and on.
First : I want to root my phone as soon as possible and clear this Mi Junk but after watching this drama I am losing my Patient.
Second : any other alternative for Unlocking bootloader for Mi MAX.
If anybody has unlocked there Mi Max with Mi Unlock with there MI ID without any error??
Please Help!
UPDATE:
Bootloader was unlocked using Official method, Thanks @nijel8 and @avi3230 for Replying!
Make sure you are on official miui and on some fake vendor rom. China dev is preferred but not necessary...
Just visit this thread.
No need of unlocked bootloader for rooting.

I am having issues with my mi max (Hydrogen) i have been granted unlocking rights, but the unlock tool alway states my mi device isnt supported??
Initially, i had a few issues with drivers on Windows 10, but i have patlrtially sorted this. And i can now connect with MTP, But i still can't unlock or connect to the Mi Pc suite?
Any help with this would be welcomed.
T.I.A.
I had the same trouble, just look up your windows device manager. Mi Max should be recognized as "Android ADB Interface" while running fastboot mode.
The second problem can be with Xiaomi services. If you still getting verify error, try to use some of their services, like cloud, theme shop etc and than try again to unlock.
I was unlocking my hydrogen on global stable 8.0.1.0 successfully.
PS: the phone goes into recovery 30 seconds in total. On my previous XRN2 it was something like promptly.
I recomend you update to the latest Stable Official Miui Rom before trying to unlock bootloader, and you will find a new option in developer options near to the "Enable Unlock OEM" to asociate your Mi account, now you won't get the "50% error" anymore.
I have finally unlocked the bootloader tonight I signed into the mi unlock tool, with my mi max connected as normal. (not in fastboot mode) After clicking sign in, i got a message to turn off and do the normal vol- and power to enter fastboot mode. I then got the unlock prompt which i was waiting so long for. In the MI forums, they are all saying enter fasboot mode first before connecting to the unlock tool, but i did it after connecting just normally., Hope this helps anyone that is having the same issues connecting.
Still can't sign into my Mi Pc suite though? Device manager is stating in portable devices that MI MAX is connected, but has i yellow triangle! when i enable usb debugging, i get a prompt from pc suite to "connect my device via usb" but im clearly connected? when usb debug is off, i get no prompt from pc suite.
After i right click to update drivers on MI MAX in device manager, i get a massage from windows that " A service installation section in this INF is invalid" and from PCsuite stating "looks like your missing some drivers" Really??
I have tried updating with different ways in device manager, but i get the same results, connected to windows, but no connection to Pc suite which i need for backing up my files before flashing
Any help with this is very welcomed.

It's a known official fact straight from Xiaomi PC sh*t don't support anything after Android 5.x. Quick search would've saved you time and troubles...
Well i didnt know that so i wouldn't have searched for that info, but thanx for letting me know anyway.

Thanks for sharing. Same issue here.
Hi,
I bought Xiaomi Mi 5s with Global Stable ROM 8.2.1.0, and today I entered the official MIUI website to see what's the latest version that is released, in here:
http://en.miui.com/download-314.html
For some reason at the same moment I thought that 8.0.3.0 is higher version than mine (I missed a zero), and I downloaded the ROM installation file to the phone, and installed it through the updater app.
After the install, the phone loaded and didn't recognize the SIM card anymore, also couldn't enter the Network settings, the phone app or the phone status, and from what I read on the internet it probably don't recognize my IMEI anymore...
It also doesn't let me install my previous version (8.2.1.0) because the updater says it's not verified.
I tried to flash again the same ROM that is installed now (8.0.3.0), but it didn't help.
Also tried to do factory reset but I can't because it doesn't recognize the device id...
Is there something I can do immediately to fix this without applying a request to Xiaomi to unlock the bootloader (which I really don't want to do), and also to be stuck without a phone again for a couple of days?
Updater says it's not verified when you install 8.2.1.0? Maybe you got a wrong phone version?

Nope, it's the right one: http://en.miui.com/thread-567657-1-1.html
From what I read over the internet they canceled this update because it has issues, battery drain mostly, but nothing official that I saw.
I'm not sure,but according to a tutorial I found, which is about down grade from miui 8 to 7. You need to have a factory reset to have imei back
By the way, Mi 5s always comes with Chinese ROM, so maybe you have recovery installed already, where u can flash without verify.

No I don't have recovery, probably when it arrives to the stores here they flash official ROM and remove custom recovery (just guessing).
I see I can't avoid unlocking the device, although I don't want to. In my case I down graded from 8.2.1.0 to 8.0.3.0, but I hope that a factory reset will also help after I'll unlock the device.

Wow, bull****, mine came with Global rom, and in xiaomi phones after ~2016 there is like ~1% chance that they will came with recovery and unlocked bootloader
to op:
unlock bootloader (developer settings + miunlock tool) and then use miflash to reflash rom

I had exactly the same problem as you last month. All i can do is flashing my phone using deep flash cable. Factory reset does solve this problem, but in my case i cant. When hit reset on settings, i must input mi account password and it did nothing after that. I also cant unlock my phone because i forgot binding my device to mi account in developer settings when still in miui 8.2.1.0.

Sorry, I didn't know they are selling Mi 5s global versions. I thought Mi 5s was only sold in China. I did google it online and it was not sold elsewhere and there was no global rom then.
Update for people who will encounter this issue and will read this:
What solved it in my case, was to send Xiaomi a request to unlock the device, they returned an answer pretty fast (2 hours later), maybe because I wrote them what happened in the request. I unlocked the device using Mi Unlock tool, downloaded a fastboot version of the global ROM I wanted (8.0.3.0) from the official MIUI website, and flashed it using Mi Flash tool, choosing the option "clean all, flash and unlock". After the flashing succeeded, the IMEI was restored and everything is ok, and also the bootloader is locked again like nothing happened.
pretty much what "mezutelni" said to do
Just bought the Redmi 5 plus and is very eager to share with you guys my experience in using this phone.
Having used the stock global rom for about 1 week now, the performance and battery life are ok (thanks to SD625 chip but definitely not Xiaomi), in contrast ram management is utterly horrible (which can be alleviated by turning off ram optimization in under developer options).
One thing that really struck me by surprise is that the latest so called stable rom is still very un-polished, built-in calculator cannot be rotated, Mi player causes the video to stutter, the weather app does not have widgets, changes made to apps that autostart did not save after reboot...... All these poor experience causes you to want migrate to custom roms. But guess what!! Not only the kernel source has not been released, you can't even unlock your phone if you are on global roms (the notorious 86006 error, and thus far there still isn't any legitimate way to unlock devices on global rom.)
Still struggling to get the phone unlocked............

same model and so same struggle...... But I finally made some progress, the key to binding the account seems to be installing global developer version, now my account binds with my phone. For now waiting for 360 hours before being able to unlock the device.... It is so obscure to have such a long waiting time.... Will report later on the progress of unlocking.

You sure bro you're device binded with MEG7 Model? Tell me if yes, I will be glad if that's true and definitely I will try. Just tell me the exact step + screenshoot your device model. cz I already tried installing Dev global with test point method and binding it but no result, still 86006.

Yes, I am sure that is MEG7 model, cannot upload screenshot now as I am redownloading all the apps from playstore..... Flashing a developer rom will result in formatting of internal storage so remember to backup all the important stuff before doing that....

And that's exactly his phone and problem
Did you use a Chinese VPN when binding? I'm on MEG7 and did it yesterday.
I installed global dev ROM by downloading from MIUI, putting on device internal storage and selecting from Updater app.
1) Log into Mi account on phone with existing account that has developer rights (or apply for this)
2) Install any VPN that has Shanghai or somewhere in China and activate (I used Flit VPN)
3) Enable dev and in there OEM Unlock and USB debug.
4) Bind account
I couldn't do this before I switched to MIUI Global Dev 8.3.29
Still have to wait for 15 days but hope this helps.

Exactly as in the video except if you aren't in China have a China VPN running when you hit the unlock request and get the 86006 error.
Also you can use any account that you previously had unlock permission granted on. No need to make another.

Try setting memory optimization to Middle or High. It gives you more zram, and that lets you have more apps in memory. Turn off miui killing apps aswel
Just a quick question; after waiting 24 hours do we need to associate again the account or just reboot into fastboot mode and use again the unlock tool?

Once u bind the account, u don't have to associate again, it should remain associated as long as u don't logout. And just wait for 2 weeks and u should be able to unlock it.
so the issue I got is getting this page I posted picture with after I access en miui com/unlock I tried with flyvpn Hong Kong and same result.

Download miflash_unlock tool, put phone in fastboot, install driver. Start the tool, login, click unlock, check time, wait, then unlock.
I tried to go through the official route to unlock my Global Version Note 5, but when I log into my Mi account, there is no option for "Apply for unlocking permissions", it's greyed out and so it's straight to the Mi Unlock tool. Have I missed something?
I was trying to find out if it's straight forward to lock the bootloader if I should so choose, but when I search all I'm finding are results for people with Global ROM's not the Global Version.
I'm new to Xiaomi but I've been messing around with modding phones for 5 or 6 years now...

Locked without Mi account "This MIUI version can't be installed on your device"

Just found new problems, Just remember this one : who ever success flashing rom redmi note 8 pro and unlock device, don't ever try to sign in or entering mi account in settings, it will automatically lock your device again!! And before you connect any connection go to settings and turn off find my device, after that you'll be free to use the phone without mi account, don't worry you can sign in for Google account.
