I f**ked up somewhere I don't know. Please bear with me and help if possible...
I exchanged the mobile with other mobile which already had mi account. However while changing mobile, I signed out from both the mobiles and put sim card in one another. After that, I couldn't turn ON find device feature which I probably suspect is due to the associated mi account of the device. I was successful in deleting (permanently) mi account of one device while I am not able to delete of another. When I go to website, it shows me following error (screenshot attached).
I want to flash custom rom and every YouTube video is recommending to turn find device ON in order to successfully unlock the bootloader. The find device feature is not working with the new mi account i created so I want to delete this and create new one.

Disable synchronization and delete data from your MI account, than try again. You can even try to reboot after your done. You need to do it under MIUI ROM and use settings to remove account, not from browser!!!
Good luck and stay safe.

Thankyou.
How to delete data? I mean when I go to option, I see only two options.
1 Delete music data
2 Delete everything backed up in mi cloud
Third one is directly to delete the account. However even if i try from mi cloud (inside the phone), it shows me same error I attached screenshot.

2nd and 3rd is the right way.
If it still wont work .. do factory reset and try again.
And than I'm out of ideas.
If it still fails after factory than try to ask on MIUI forum (official) for help.
Good luck and stay safe.

I put this hTC_Asia_AUS.zip to my sd card and install it. But the google account login is still there right after the installation of that .zip. any idea? this is the pictures i took while installing that hTC_Asia_AUS.zip
I've seen you post this a few times recently.
There is no way to bypass this as its a security so if someone steals your phone and does a factory reset, they still can't use it.
Try logging in to one of your many google accounts and check the 'last account activity' to see which google account used your phone last.

Hi, a few weeks ago I tried to get a new app so went to my Google Play account and it wouldn't let me open it, kept asking me to log in. Anyway I eventually left it as it was driving me nuts but since then none of my apps will update and none of my Google accounts will backup, the most important one being my photos. I can't use Google to seach either. I can log in to my account on all other devices just not my phone. I also tried to connect my phone to my laptop to backup my photos as I'm thinking I'm going to have to do a hard reset but all my older photos were showing but not the newer ones that I have taken and you can view on my phone.
Can anyone help as this is driving me crazy.
Thanks

What are you using to view your files? A file explorer or HTC Sync Manager? I would use the former.
If that doesn't show all your stuff, then I would use TWRP to backup everything or to copy files onto an external SD card and then plug that into the computer to copy everything before running an RUU and resetting everything, which is what I would do.
My brother died unexpectedly two weeks ago and I am trying to access data on his Google Pixel 2 XL. At this time, I have access to the google account that he used with the phone but I changed the password so "Find My Device" via Google cannot locate his device. I've verified that the phone was backed up at some point on the day he died, but am unsure of the time and am unsure of exactly what was backed up. I've done lots of research online and I've come to the conclusion that the only way to access the phone now is to enter recovery mode via the phone and wipe the phone and restore from the back up. I've found conflicting information about what the downside is to this approach. First, I know that I can only restore what was backed up. I'm okay with that. But I saw somewhere that the passcode for the phone is still necessary if you want to go this route. Is this true? I do not have the passcode and do not want to get stuck in the middle of trying to restore the phone. Second, will this approach erase all logins and passwords for all the apps that he currently had on the phone? What problems could this approach create as I try to further piece together his digital accounts/ information? Would it be possible to find out what his passcode was? This would help with all the other devices he has.
Finally, is there any way to look at the backup stored on the google drive without wiping and recovering the data to the actual phone? I do not want to do anything illegal; I'm just trying to piece together his last days. I'm the legal next of kin.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Someone else made a very similar post the other day....
The best thing to do do is this: https://support.google.com/accounts/troubleshooter/6357590
This is the only legal way to try and access someones account after death, and even then it my be limited:
In certain circumstances we may provide content from a deceased user's account. In all of these cases, our primary responsibility is to keep people's information secure, safe, and private. We cannot provide passwords or other login details. Any decision to satisfy a request about a deceased user will be made only after a careful review.
If Google themselves cannot provide password and logins, or data, then sorry, but no one here is able or going to help you break google security.
Knowing the passcode of one device wont help you with others, they can be different
Not knowing what youre hoping to recover, no one can tell you whether it accessible via google services
Depending on the phone there may be a lock that survives recovery wiping and is linked to the account, because its designed for preventing exactly what youre trying to do, and beat security.
Security is there for a reason, and not trivial.
So i refer you again to the google link above....
And a good reminder to not forget to enable inactive account manager, to avoid all this yourself: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/3036546?hl=en

When setting up a device after a factory reset Android will ask for the email address and password of the last account used. Based upon your post, you have that information so you will be able to continue. If I recall correctly it won't ask for the pin as that is a local security feature and not backed up. His contacts and text messages should be restored after the factory reset. Usernames and passwords for non-Google apps may be restored, if I recall correctly, but keys for 2FA apps will not be restored. If your brother used 2FA you won't be able to access the accounts using 2FA unless he had backup codes stored somewhere on his PC.
Unfortunately, there is no way to look at the backup, as Google doesn't make the backup visible to the user in Google Drive.
Thank you.

Thank you! I have the information I need. I was just concerned that I would need a passcode and then I would get stuck. Otherwise, I located the backup on the google drive and can see that it was actually backed up on the day he died, so there should be very little data loss. Thanks so much.

If you can't access it using a PC you're boned.
You have the ability to use an SD card as a data drive, why didn't you?
All your critical data should be stored there for reloads and... this.

So the hardware's still good?
Check alternative 2nd email account if you have one to determine if it was unauthorized access took place.
Factory reload and change Google password after reload.
*You may have to reset Google account password if it was indeed hacked before you can regain device access. Try the original password first.
You get 3 tries before you get locked out for 72 hours.
If you got hacked, one or more of your devices was/is compromised. Always use a strong password and change it every few months.
Never use a "master" password for the Google account, it needs to be unique.
ALWAYS backup critical data on the PC and at least 2 more hdds that are physically and electronically isolated from the PC. If the your PC got hacked don't connect the backup hdds until it's clean.
I keep the laptop I use for backup offline and with no Google account on it for this very reason...
Hi there. Is there any way to detect/understand if second space is activated in Xiaomi note 9 pro? Let's say it's hidden and can be accessed only by password from the lock screen. Thanks in advance.
Go to 'settings > special features > second space' the option to create the second space is there. So if if it's there, no second space was created

Ha, not so easy.. In second space settings you're able to choose to hide it, so in first space you will see only usual option to create one.. I need another way to detect it.

/data/user maybe.
User 0 is the default, User 999 is for dual apps.
Don't recall the User # for second space, but it should show up.

With root, yes.

Hm.. Any options without root?
I see it has two MI account logins. Current one (this login) and one more. Maybe that might be a sign of parallel space..

Im not completely sure what you're "investigating", but local device accounts are not related to Mi accounts from what I can tell.
You can have multiple local user accounts, without having a logged in Mi account.

I want to understand if there are ways to find out that hidden second space is being used on the persons phone. I suppose that second space also might to be linked with Mi account so maybe that's would be an indicator. See photo - that was found in phone's Mi accounts section.
