Hey. I have a Mi Mix 2.
When i first got it i've pay some random guy to repair imei, which we have been using without any problems. Until my wife tried to factory reset it, right now it's bricked. Phone doesn't have any connection (Wi-Fi, Cell Network) and when i look at imei it's null. The problem is, bootloader is locked too so i can't do anything. I've tried to unlock bootloader from Mi Unlock but since i don't have the first account which unlocked the phone, i can't unlock it via official ways. I've heard i have to use test point to get EDL Mode, but after that i don't know what i should do. I've heard some programs can unlock bootloader immediately, if you know a program that has a ability to do that please let me know. Help me please. Any help appreciated.

Hello there,
I've searched through all the googles and i can't seem to be able to unlock my mi 5S
Bought a half dead phone, glitchy screen and bad battery. Purchased new parts and had them installed.
Phone came with unlocked BL and lineage OS, but i f-ed it up by flashing a miui rom that locked the BL.
Then I found out the phone was actually bound to an existing MI account, so I cannot unlock it with the official tool.
Phone is in edl mode, i tried searching for an unlocked emmc_appsboot.mbn but no luck.
Can anyone please advise how to unofficialy unlock the bootloader?
I'm about to sell it for parts as I've been trying to fix it for the past week ... :crying:
Not sure if there is a way, because that way could also be used for a stolen device...
My suggestion is that you contact your seller and ask him for his Xiaomi account or that he deletes the phone from his account.
Weird thing though, the phone does not get locked if you just flash an official ROM. You specifically have to choose "flash + lock" in the official flashing application to have it locked again.

I've been emailing with xiaomi support, gave them all the details. Maybe I can convince them to remove the account.
Before flashing i was checking online on how to do it with miflash tool but i missed the radio buttons and default was clean and lock ..
After a few documents submitted through [email protected] they have removed the unknown mi account.
To conclude, I have not found any way of unlocking the bootloader except for the official way.
Also, be careful when flashing with miflash, don't lock your phone by mistake.
Ah great that it worked!
I got a note 5a with the bootloader locked and mi account locked, i tried to hard reset but now he ask me for the mi account wich i don't have, tried to flash with miflash but i need bootloader unlocked wich i don't have too, tried to unlock the bootloader but he told me that i need to add the oem unlock to the mi account, but i can't do that either because i am stuck in the boot menu in the first place.
Alrerady tried the MiAccountUnlock-Tool method, in the program was fine but oncve it boots again he ask me for the mi account
There still hope for me?

Hi,
Is your device still under warranty? If yes, you can go to the center to get it fix.
mi support via email were not very helpful and suggested i posted in the mi community forum for help.

Check with your credit card company, many of them offer cell phone insurance.
Hello, i have this issue. I have trouble with my phone. It doesn't recognize any simcard anymore. I installed a new sim-tray no solution. I want to try to downgrade the MIUI system or flash a custom ROM to try if this helps, but the bootlocker is locked. I tried to unlock, have a Xiaomi account but can't unlock it. I have to add phone via devlopper tools-->mi unlockstatus but this only works with mobile data and not with wifi. The phone is listed in my Xiaomi account. Is there an other way to unlock the bootloader ??? Or anyone knows a solution ?

You always need mobile data to unlock bootloader in Mi phones.
hey,
if the phone is listed in your xiaomi account it may just work.
you can always try it, grab that miunlock tool and login with your phone number+pass, boot the phone into the android/mibuny page and see if the tools lets you proceed without doing the devtools part.
Hello everyone
I'm stuck in a horrible situation here if someone might be able to help would be a great help.
So basically I want to Unlock my phones bootloader but it happens to be that the Phone network is broken, I mean there is some issue with the motherboard where even If you insert a Sim it shows No SIM as. So I've been using this device just for surfing Yt and stuff.
So when I try to unlock the bootloader by going into the Developer option > Unlock Status and it needs a SIM card inserted to add device and account.
Is there a work around to bypass this.
What I have tried so far using MI unlock tool but it throws error.

after long time searching and tryng out both official and non official methods for unlocking bootloader, or at least bypass it I find this method which was 100% perfectly worked and made me able to flash any other custom rom or recovery
