Hi everybody,
I'd like to know if, going through official unlocking (requesting at Xiaomi via SMS a code), I will lose the "find device" option, fingerprint lock, and so on...

Hey everyone, I'm new here and sorry if this is a silly question. I've installed custom roms on a few android phones before but this Huawei GR5 (or the Honour 5x everywhere else?!) is giving me issues.
I've followed guides to unlock my bootloader and have my unlock code, but when I try adb reboot bootloader, it boots into a screen I showing the unlock status (locked) and I type the bootloader unlock command with my code it just sits forever saying "waiting for device"
So what could be going on? Is this because I've encrypted the phone? Or am I just missing something.
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.

24h waiting until I can unlock the bootloader now.
This Thread can be closed! :angel:
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 have a rn8pro and I logged in my mi account. Then I clicked on mi unlock status. But for some reason they want me to use mobile data instead of wifi. Even when doing that, they aren't letting me unlock my account.
Can someone explain in a concise way on how to do this and why these steps are required?
How did you unlock? After you registed in developer option, you need to wait at least 168h before unlock bootloader (with xiaomi unlock tool).
Hi all,
I successfully unlocked my phone (redmi note 8 pro) Yesterday. The passages works perfectly how the officials guidelines.
But now i have a problem !!! I request unlock to downgrade my miui 12,5 to 10. But After i realized that i want MIUI 9(First rom).
The problem is that the bootloader Is still locked. I cannot add my account in mi unlock even i ll try to disconnet and add from the dedicate section in developer options.
..Hope It helps when boot phone the message Is "space archivements corrupted, device Finder corrupted. Your device Is not safe".... But device Finder works perfectly from site.
Hope in helps..
If you unlocked the phone before,you "can" still unlock it if you use your account that you used to unlock it before
Also bad news is you corrupted your persist partition which is BAD. (sensors,wifi,bluetooth and find device may not work)
