Right off you need to go and setup an account with Xiaomi.
http://www.mi.com/us/
Then login to your new account.
https://account.xiaomi.com/pass/serviceLogin
After you have verified your account go to your account and fill in the Security ,Personal ,and Account page till the green bar at the top makes it across to 100 points.(not sure if this is necessary but i got my bootloader unlocked before my buddy did and he didnt fill anything out.)
Now on your phone go to Settings, and under accounts sign in with your MI account you just made.
Then back to the settings menu. Scroll up to 'About Phone'. Enter that menu and find 'MIUI version'. Tap it until you activate the developer settings menu.
Go back to the main settings menu and scroll down to the 'System and Device' section. Tap the '... Additional Settings' menu and scroll down to find 'Developer Options'.
Slide the first switch to enable ' Developer options'.
Then slide the 'OEM unlocking' switch about 5x to get it to stay on.
Now switch on 'USB Debugging' , 'Install via USB' ,and 'USB Debugging'.
Now go to the link below and apply for your bootloader to be unlocked.
https://en.miui.com/unlock/
Click the 'Unlock Now' button. Then you will be prompted to sign into your MI account.
Now you should be at this screen.
Click the 'Download Mi Unlock' button and download the file. It should be call something along the lines of "Mi-flash_Unlock".
[/IMG]
Extract that file into its own folder. Then run the 'miflash_unlock' program that has the orange icon. Sign in with your MI account.
*Before you plug your phone in turn off wifi and enable mobile data. Connect phone and follow instructions. This will not unlock the bootloader . It does put you on a counter till when you can. Itll be anywhere from 48 to 120 hours.
(backup your data before unlocking, you phone will flash if bootloader is unlocked)
When the wait time is up disable wifi and turn mobile data on . Now you return to the developers options and find 'MI Unlock status' option. Now choose it and you will need to sign in again with your MI account. After a few 'ARE YOU SURE?' prompts the phone will try to get permission to unlock. You will get an approval or a fail.
If you are approved turn your phone off. Connect USB ,hold vol down and power and keep holding till you see the fastboot screen.
When you have permission to unlock the bootloader you may asked to download a new version of the 'Mi_Unlock' software.
Assuming you did this is when you run it. If your account is in order and if all goes well you will unlock the bootloader. Surprise your phone gets flashed too.
And now you are ready for whenever that magic day TWRP is released for this phone and we can finally let this beast out of its cage.
FAQ for extra info with the process.

I ordered a Samsung Galaxy SIII (US-Cellular) on ebay and tried to follow the instructions below:
1. Type *#197328640# and it brings up the factory service menu
2. Select (1) UMTS
3. Select (1)Debug Screen
4. Select (8) Phone Control
5. Select (6)Network lock
6. Inside the Network lock menu, Pick option (3) Perso SHA256 off, Passed that is a screen that says something like "no options in this menu, current command is 11863", Wait for 30-60 secs, from there hit the menu button on bottom left of phone to bring up options, Select "Back".
7. The last command should have brought you back into the Network Lock menu, at the bottom is (4) NW Lock NV Data Initialize, Select it. You might be asked a saftey are you sure, some people not, after it begins that process wait a good 60 sec the reboot. Thats it! Phones Unlocked
Somehow the phone is not reacting on the USSD 'secret' codes. I can push the hash-button, but nothing happens. I found on a forum that I should root my phone. So I did through Odin. But superSU keeps crashing and I get the error: Security Notice, an attempt to access a secure area...
I don't really need a rooted phone, would be nice, but I would like to use USSD codes, like *#06# for example.
R530 is CDMA based and might not function correctly on TMo.
Also, USSD codes only work on TW-Based ROMs or stock. Root should have no bearing.

What you are trying to do is unlock the phone from US Cellular to use on T-Mo. If that's the case, you will have to downgrade the firmware to Android version 4.1.1. This does not require Rooting. You will see appropriate firmware on SamMobile.com. Try the same process after the downgrade.
Don't try the downgrade if you are on android 4.3. It will Hard Brick your phone.
OK password forgotten you still can use the device, but you'll need a smartphone with mobile data and turn on the "Mobile hotspot". on the checking for software updates a.s.a.p. turn off the mobile hotspot it will say could not connect
UPDATE 1. for those who do not have access to hotspot. be prepared to disable your wifi at your modem.
agree to the next prompts it will ask you if you want to set up security create a 4-digit PIN i suggest 1234. After you create the 4-digit PIN, you turn off the tablet and turn it on again.
When the tablet is on again and "Enter PIN" appears, don't worry if you don't see the camera icon on the display. What you need is the USER icon (what I mean is that "human face" icon which is located on the TOP RIGHT CORNER). Click that "human face" icon, then you'll see "Add user" so click on that "Add user". Follow through as a new user, you'll need to create a Samsung account or if you have one already you'll need to log into your Samsung account. UPDATE 2. I SKIPPED THIS ACCOUNT SETUP.
UPDATE 3. You'll have 2 users, you will not be able to erase the first one.
now you have access to storage place the this https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...FRP_REMOVE.apk
to downloads run the app on install.
full tool here https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...pps Full.zip
go back to users first user owner tap it you will log in to that account it will say set up tablet drag the notification bar down software update smart switch ignore it enable WiFi connect to any one you can then tap setup tablet follow i will ask for a password i skipped it and got in and went to settings now i had access to backup and reset full wipe done smile
Thanks to everyone who has worked on this i have updated these instructions Originally Posted by dama0002

FYI again for those who done have access to hotspot be prepared to disable your wifi at your modem timing is important.
i hope it helps
I just got one of these from a friend of mine who did a factory reset on it before he gave it to me, and now it asks me to login to a previously used account. Unfortunately, he's terrible at remembering his login information, and he doesn't remember his password for the account he had on this anymore. He doesn't need it because he bought an IPad and doesn't use his google account anymore. So now it's stuck on the login screen. I've looked around and I couldn't find a way to bypass the FRP that I felt I could trust, or that seemed to apply to my device. I was wondering if anyone knew how I could do this?
Well, I didn't figure out how to get rid of the reset protection. But, I did get into the settings and was able to set up and use a guest account.
First get a SD card with an apk on it. I downloaded one from apkpure. Then when the device asks you to connect to a wireless network, check the Show advanced options box. Then in the Proxy settings drop down box, select Manual. And click on the Proxy hostname box to bring up the keyboard, and press the settings button on the keyboard that looks like a gear. From the keyboard settings menu you can click the mulit-window button on the bottom taskbar and can open two windows. Open the file manager in one of the windows. In the file manager click on your SD card and try to install the apk you put on it. When it prompts you that you need to allow Unknown sources in the settings, click on the settings button to open the settings window. (Do not check the allow Unknown sources box, if you check it, and the device resets or runs out of battery you'll have to go through this again, but when you click on the apk it won't prompt you to go to settings to allow unknown sources because they're already allowed.) Now just click on Users and switch to guest. There are some limitations to this mode, like not being able modify the wifi network (you'll have to switch back to the Owner account to change this).
I don't know if there's any way from the guest account to reset the account lock, but at least it's something.
I tried this and got as far as to the part where you said to "click the mulit-window button on the bottom taskbar."
That multi-window button is greyed out for me so I cannot click on it. LG must of patched it up or I am doing something incorrect.
Any other advise will be greatly appreciated!
It's possible it was patched out. They've been fixing little exploits with patches. This is the only way I was able to get any access to the device. All I can really recommend is to try everything. Check every menu, every option, and see if there is opening you can find to get access to the device.

I found a FRP bypass workaround if you are running 5.1.1 on a LG G Pad X 10.1 V930 AT&T model, not sure if all models are the same. It was FRP locked and all of the other bypass methods must have been patched. I was at the setup screen after a factory reset. I hope this helps.
1. Connect to wifi, then go back to start screen
2. Go to Accessibility > Vision > Enable Talkback
3. Go through the talkback training then draw an L to bring up the quick settings select Text to speech Settings (bottom right corner), afterwards you can disable Talkback by holding the power button and holding 2 fingers on the screen until it disables.
4. You will be in the settings app. Go to Users > Add user > User > Add user > Set up
5. You will be brought to a User setup screen select Next > It will pop up the wifi connection screen select next > You will be asked to sign into a Google account, sign into your Google account and proceed with the Google setup.
6. You will be brought to the homescreen. Go to settings > Users > And sign in as Owner.
7. Go to Settings > Factory data reset > Reset tablet. You can now factory reset and you will not be prompted to sign into a Google account.

I was missing OEM Unlock option in the developer's menu. There are instructions online how to get that option to show. They won't work if you didn't do one thing. What they are all missing is that you must also let your device finish setting up completely, preferrably with your Google Account. Only then OEM Unlock will show up. So internet access is required, WiFi sufficed.
me too
