Guys, I need some help to confirm the only solution I found for my problem, or if I can still try other solutions.
I bought a Mi5s that already came from seller with the global stable rom. I asked the official bootloader unlock to Xiaomi and has received authorization by SMS. But the unlock application stucks at 50% saying that the device being unlocked is different from the one authorized on Mi account. I looked for some solutions like deleting all the devices in the page i.mi.com, leaving only the Mi5s, but I did not have success. Other solution is flash chinese developer rom
Another solution is to flash Chinese developer rom, to confirm unlock of the device on the developer screen and then to use the official tool unlock. But I didn't find any way to flash the developer rom. I've tried using Chinese PC Suite, fastboot mode, MiFlash, and all says that the rom I am trying to flash (Chinese) is different from the rom of the device (global).
The only solution I found is to buy a deep flash cable and flash the developer rom in EDL mode. Or hope to launch the global developer rom for Mi5s, which so far we have no prospect in the short term.
Do you suggest I try some other solution? Thanks in advance.
Try logging into mi cloud with your mi5s using the same account you used to asked the request to unlock.

Already had done it, no success
From http://en.miui.com/thread-482266-1-1.html
Under settings/additional settings/developer options, click Mi unlock status. Click add account and device. Your device will now be automatically added to your Mi account.
Next,enable OEM unlocking and USB debugging under developer options.
Then connect your mobile to the pc or laptop while on fastboot mode. Unlock again. This time, it will be successful!
Same problem. Can't unlock my Mi 5S on Global Stable firmware (V8.0.3.0). And can't flash to China Developer firmware.

Global Stable firmware doesn't have any Mi Unlock status parameter on Developer Settings.

Sorry i was on mobile and understood you badly.
According to this:
http://en.miui.com/thread-202290-1-1.html
You should have that parameter no matter you are at global or not, but if you don't you should flash a developer version, instruction at the same page.
Before you say "i can't flash developer rom", did you tried the updater app to flash it?
Force flash your rom using special cable to enter fastboot to install. I dont know its detail, but the installation called Deep Flash using deep flash cable sold on ebay

I had similar problems and I was also trying to figure out what to do to unlock bootloader on Global stable rom. The amount of people having the same problem where unlocking app stops at 50% is overwhelming ,judging from the comments found on google, but the info what is the actual problem is next to none. Suggested solutions looks to me like voodoo and most if not all probably doesn't have any impact on successful unlocking. As the Xiaomi unlock app is just a wrapper for fastboot executable I've checked what kind of commands are being send to the fastboot when you click unlock here they are.
fastboot getvar product
fastboot getvar soc-id
fastboot getvar soc_id
fastboot getvar board_version
So I've checked if I will actually get any info from bootloader if I send those commands manually, and with no surprise I didn't get any. So this was the problem at least in my case. Some kind of connection problem I'm not sure where exactly the fault is, probably drivers but try to issue those commands manually from command line I can bet you will not get any info from the phone. What to do if that's the case remove and reinstall drivers, this is what has worked for me. Good luck
Had the same problem. Got it solved today. the bad news you need a deep flashing cable, good news you can make it yourself.
Here is the guide:
http ://en.miui.com/thread-310325-1-1.html
http ://en.miui.com/thread-299790-1-1.html
I have unlocked 4 mi phones with no difficulty. Some of them with fake/seller ROM. Once you got permission make sure you have done all things right before preceding to Unlock. Usually it's all about loading the right driver for Xiaomi phone. Using default windows driver is not working. As it's not Microsoft signed driver you have to start windows in insecure mode.
You have to login in your mi account both on PC and on phone with SIM card ind.
Check that phone is verified settings/mi account on your phone.
Best luck
Something is with drivers for your phone. I have the same problem...than i delete drivers and than they automaticly reinstall and evarything works.

Follow the guide that I posted to make the cable(first link), install all the drivers and software needed (second link).
After successfully putting the phone in deep flash mode you need to update Qualcomm drivers (under device manager it must appear as com3 or com10 port after that).
Then use Mi Flash tool to flash Chinese dev rom (http ://bigota.d.miui.com/7.1.20/miui_MI5S_7.1.20_229fa68558_6.0.zip). If the flash fails the first time reboot the computer and try again.
After that sync connect your MI account to the device, enter Dev mode and you will find OEM Unlock option.
Not easy but it works.
Good Luck!

I tried all the possibilities described, that do not need flash developer rom using a deep flash cable. I changed drivers and everything, no success.
In time, I already ordered a deep flash cable here in Brazil. For my part, I thank all fellas who tried to help me but gave up trying anything else. As the title of the topic, my device is currently virtually impossible to unlock in the normal way.

I have same problem to unlock Mi5s before but then realize that you need to update driver on your PC from Keadcom (or samething) into Marshall London Bootloader and it success.
Now my Mi5s uncloked officially.
I just use same Mi account which has permission to unlock my previous device which is Mi5.
No need deep flash cable, just normal cable can do.
Hope this help.

Unfortunately this this did not help. My assumption is that 8.0.3.0. Global stable needs ROM-internal permissions, which are currently missing. (In fastboot mode ADB is able to communicate to the phone, so it is not a driver issue.)

Hi Guys,
I need your help. I want to unlock the bootloader of my new Mi Mix 2. But in the process of unlocking in the unlock software i face this error message: "Your Device isn’t supported by Mi Unlock".
I am on the latest global developer rom. Account is linked and has permission to unlock (I did unlock the mi mix 1 before).
Do you have any ideas? Maybe someone of you has the same problem and solved it!

Is OEM unlock selected in developer options? That's the only thing I can think of if the account is linked on the phone.
Yes it is. I have no Idea whats the problem of the unlock tool.
I send a unlock request mail to xiaomi. Maybe they can do anything.
You are definitely using the latest version of the unlock tool? It is updated frequently.

How can I flash MIUI 9 Official Full ROM without unlocking the bootloader?
I pressed the ”OEM Unlocking” without unlocking the bootloader. I didn't even enter the approved account in "Mi unlock status". Now the status is unlocked. The bootloader is actually still locked. When I use PC to unlock bootloader, it goes until 99% and gives me the error "Current account is not bound to this device". I tried resetting the phone from settings (wipe data partition) but the status is still unlocked.
The question is how can I undo the status to locked so that I can continue unlocking this device and enter the approved account to "Mi unlock status"?

Apply for permission, wait to receive confirmation, sign into account on phone and on Mi unlock tool. Bit too Fastboot mode, on Mi-unlock tool it gets to 99% and then should give you a message to wait 360 hours. This is correct, it will work after the amount of time (about 2 weeks).
Thanks,
But this problem got even worse. I updated to MIUI 9.5 from MIUI 9.1. The update failed. It is not possible to boot into Android either. I even tried formating data. The bootloader is locked. I applied permission and already received it.
I bought the phone via China Mobile.
I suspect that my ROM may be a fake one. But it looks totaly original.
1. 4 digit version code
2. NCKMIEI --> Official and correct MIUI 9.1 version
3. Gapps preinstalled
4. No bloatware
5. Everything looks the same like the original ROM
6. Even Mi Remote is working
What I'm thinking about now is how is the Mi status "Unlocked" even I didn't even enter the approved Mi account used to unlock the bootloader.
I know the bootloader is really "locked" because
[email protected]> fastboot oem device-info
Locked

I'm currently trying to flash CN MIUI ROM through EDL mode (test point) because Global ROM failed. Then try to unlock bootloader from CN MIUI ROM and re-flash Global ROM through MiFlash
Okay, so the phone runs fine now. The phone now runs CN MIUI 9 9.5.3.0 stable version. I am still waiting for the 360 hours (15 days) man!!! for the bootloader unlocking. I applied for the unlocking. Will update when I successfully return to Global Stable ROM.
I flashed CN MIUI 9 ROM via test point. When it reboots, it will show you the error you've encountered before. Relax! Just reboot and wait for about 15 minutes and your phone is alive again.
Thanks Xiaomi for the INCREDIBLY TIGHT SECURITY ???

There is some risk you have to take in order to flash via EDL (test point) mode.
1. You have to backup all of your data. When you flash via EDL mode, your phone will return to "stock" like when you first buy the phone.
2. Flashing via EDL mode will involve removing the phone's back cover. You have to do this if you really want to flash via EDL mode.

Yes. You can unlock bootloader after flashing with EDL mode.
Only use China ROM if you bought your phone from China. If your phone is International phone / not bought from China, I advice you to flash Global ROM first. If it doesn't work, then try China ROM.

Have you tried a different account? Try registering a new account and don't change anything. Then apply unlock bootloader permission at https://en.miui.com/unlock/. After applying for permission, enter your account details in Mi Unlock Status.
If you have a PC, download Mi Unlock Tool here: http://miuirom.xiaomi.com/rom/u265827351/2.3.803.10/miflash_unlock-en-2.3.803.10.zip
Open Mi Unlock Tool by clicking miflash_unlock.exe.
Enter your login details and reboot your phone to fastboot mode.
Plug in your phone.
Press unlock.
If successful, you will see a message with "After 360 hours of trying to unlock device"
This is normal.
You need to wait for 15 days to try to unlock the bootloader.
There is no quicker way to overcome this. I also waited for 15 days. Also please don't keep pressing unlock in your PC when the 15 days is not over. It will block your device and you can't unlock again.
If you need some personal assistance, private message me and I will give you my Facebook / Messenger ID.
I bought a xiomi redmi note 5 ai which contains a fake rom( 9.5.13.0.0 OEIMIFA). In developers option it shows me that my device is unlocked but in fastboot it is actually locked. I tried to unlock it but couldn't get succeed. I also tried xiaomitool, xiaomi flash, some adb and edl proccess but couldn't get any success. In forum I saw test point twice method for whyred but I couldn't active edl by doing this hardware functionality because my device is new and I am also a noob in those matter. My mi id also unauthorised. Is there any chance that I can flash Official China stable rom and get the official update??? I am so disappointed with this. Experts, please help me to flash official rom on note 5 ai. give e some solutions.
Yeah I wanna know about this topic too. Many sellers are sending unsealed products and bootloader saying unlocked.
I'm in this situation too! So sad
This is really weird....In dev options phone says "Unlocked" but when you reboot there is no "Unlocked" sign under Mi logo...WTF?????
You will need to give some more detailed information for people to help you. Go on the guides section, find one of the many bootloader unlock guides and follow it step by step: at which point does it not work, and what kind of error do you get?
You also mention your account not being authorized: if that is the case, then you absolutely need to get it authorized first, there's no way around that (short of finding someone with an authorized account to help you, I guess).
By the way, I would not focus too much on the fact that Developer options report the device as unlocked, if the ROM is unofficial, that is easy to fake. Whoever flashed the u unauthorized ROM must have then relocked the bootloader after flash.
this is why xiaomi has changed the way bootloader unlocks to prevent sellers from doing this.

To my knowledge, the new unlock policy just adds more time before unlock and makes it harder to use the same account for multiple unlocks. I would say it discourages sellers from doing this, but the more resourceful ones will keep doing what they always did, while us users have to endure the whole thing.
I got my redmi note 5 ai, it was already unlocked. can someone point out if it's good? In developer options says unlocked. I turned on usb debugging but OEM unlock is greyed out. Verity mode: true, device unlocked: true and device critical unlocked: true
My first R5+ came with an unlocked bootloader but the unlock process made it for the seller can corrupt eventually some partition or even unsuccesfull, they are not intend to unlock but change a chinese rom for a global and through the process device could get unlocked (time before, I guess not actually).
The most indisputable way without a doubt to know this is simply going to fastboot mode and typing
Code:
fastboot oem device-info
so fastboot reads at a low level directly in the right partition. There are some discussion on where is place this condition, some thinks that is in bootloader itself but others believe that it is in persist partition.
That's what I did. What do you think?

If it is in a greyish, as unmarked so you can touch the toggle but is in positive OEM unlock? then don´t worry about that.
Just look at it before and after to do some update.

Hello,
I have a Redmi Note 8 pro (China version). I unlocked the bootloader and flashed the Global ROM. Unfortunately, the phone didn't reboot and it is now stuck with message "this ROM can't be installed on this device".
I realized afterwards that many other users had the same problem. Now it is impossible to flash the chinese Rom again (I get the CRCLIST flash error).
I believe my only option now is to re-flash the China stock ROM using the EDL method and an authorized Xiaomi Account. Can anyone help me do that?
If anybody has other suggestions, that would be really helpul.
You may flashed lower version of miui. If you can enter into fastboot mode, flash with latest China miui, then install TWRP, then use TWRP to flash global rom. I used twrp here and it works for my china phone, now im on global rom.
Just my 2 cents:
1. Always flash stock ROM via fastboot. ALWAYS use option "clean all". NEVER use option "clean all and lock"
2. Make sure the ROM's folder path is not containing space characters. Several stupid errors can come from this.
Ex: C:/this_is_the_rom_path
3. Use USB2.0 port from your PC. Better plug the device into USB2.0 rear port.
I couldn't make any of my USB front ports to work. Only the USB2.0 rear port.

Unfortunately I believe that's precisely the mistake I made... Now the bootloader is locked again and I cannot unlock another time because I have no access to the phone. Mi Unlock Tool says "please add your account in developer options > Mi Unlock Status".

Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately, I believe the bootloader is locked again now. I can put the phone in fastboot mode, but I cannot flash anything (not allowed in locked state).
If anyone knows how to flash with EDL method... But of course we would need an authorized account to do that.

I remember mi unlock tool will work in fastboot mode. I recommend you to use mi unlock tool which you used first time to try in fastboot mode. It may say: you need to wait xxx hours, then you have to wait. Or it may unlock directly like first time. Since you unlocked first time, it will be bounded into your Mi account already.
If you have fastboot mode available, do NOT too worried, more likely to you have it back. using SP Flash tool with paid auth account is last step.
Could you fix it?
