It could be a refurbished phone.
In my opinion buying a Refurbished Phones is not bad at all, cause they cost less and looks like same.

I bought the phone in China as well. I found the phone is unlock already. I try to relock it because of using Android Pay. The unlock status will change to "lock" after running "fastboot oem lock". But, after rebooting the phone and run fastboot again, the status of the phone will reverted back to unlock status, ie. unlock status = True.
Anyone know what's wrong?
I know the Galaxy S7 has a 'hardware unlock', so when you unlock it you can never relock it. I'm wondering whether that's the case here aswell.
I have Mi Max 3/32GB Hydrogen. Ever since I bought this device it keep showing "find device storage corrupted. device in unsafe"
And I can't unlock the bootloader. The device is on developer ROM out of the box.
Adding account in "Mi Unlock Status" inside Developer Option, it shows "couldn't add : error 20091"
Unlocking using mi flash unlock stuck at 99% with message "Current Account is not bound with this device"
I googled and still didn't found the solution.
I tried:
1. Flashing persist.img but I don't have privilege because locked bootloader.
2. Update OTA, now on the latest Dev ROM but still showing the warning "find device storage corrupted"
3. Resetting the phone, still showing the warning "find device storage corrupted"
4. Tried fastboot flash latest developer ROM in EDL mode with MiFlash, the flash succeed but the problem still persist "find device storage corrupted"
the funny thing is.. I logged in Mi Cloud and find device did locate my phone despite showing the "find device storage corrupted"
I think I can't unlock bootloader because of this find device storage corrupted problem (is this true?)
Is there anything more I can do?
it's getting frustrating and tiring just to unlock the phone
other brand official unlock method is MUCH MUCH easier than this.
I want to install RR ROM and root this phone.
I believe you are screwed with error 20091.... Had the same thing with my redmi 5, and nothing I tried and I tried everything, worked to unlock it. I returned it because of that. Xiaomi are great phones, but with the bootloader unlocking process, will never buy another one again. Im currently on MIDO Redmi note 4, and its awesome... But like i said, with the bootloader issues coming up this last year, no more xiaomi for me!

Man I just bought it and I had to sell it at 2nd hand price?

Ya ****ty situation but that's all a guy can do!
Hi folks,
I have waited more than 788 hours to unlock my Note 5 Pro bootloader. When I have connected connected the device in fastboot, mi unlock tool has not recognised my device. I had to reinstall adb drivers and reboot the device multiple times. Now it is recognised and started the process of unlocking the bootloader. The tool is struck at 99% and after few minutes it says "-1 unknown error unlocking the bootloader"
Using the same account, sim and device. Please help.
Thanks
Update:
Unlocked the bootloader successfully. Issue was with the fastboot drivers.

I have unlocked the bootloader successfully. The issue is with the fastboot drivers. Try rebooting in fastboot mode and connect to computer. Under device manager check if your device is recognised as adb interface or bootloader interface. If it's adb interface then you are good to go. Else click update driver and select the 2nd option to update from computer. Again choose the second option to choose from a list and in the list select adb and click next and proceed. Now your device should be recognised as adb interface. Now try unlocking.

Can't . You have to wait the whole time
Just turn off USB Debugging in the developer setting if it is on and restart the device to bootloader and use the latest version of the MI Unlock tool. Hope it may work. It worked with me.
Hello everybody. Last month I bought Redmi 6 Pro. Then, I wanted to unlock bootloader it to install MIUI10 as it had MIUI8. After procedures, I had to wait for 360 hours to unlock the bootloader. I waited 15 days and then unlocked my phone. After unlocking the bootloader the phone rebooted and while booting I saw Unlocked in the screen. Then I wanted to install official MIUI10 form this link: http://en.miui.com/download-349.html#545. I tried to install using the local update method. However, after an unsuccessful install, my phone shows Mi-Recovery screen with 3 menus:
1. Reboot
2. Wipe Data
3. Connect MiAssisstant
Reboot just reboots to this menu. Wipe data did not help. MiAssisstant didn't recognize this phone as it says it does not support this phone. I tried then flash using MiFlash and it gave an error "Erase boot error", which my research revealed that it is related to bootloader being locked. I used adb in fastboot mode and it shows bootloder being locked. I do not know how this happened as I am 100% sure I unlocked it. Then I tried to unlock again and says I have to wait 30 days.
Is there any faster solution? Why do I have to wait 30 days as I already waited 15 days for unlocking?
My phone is connected to my account.
My MI ID is 1892506370.
Please help me.
Some may suggest EDL but I want my phone's bootloader to unlock, which in turn may solve my problem.
Forgive me if thi post is in the wrong category. I am new.
P.S. I tried all the suggested solution available on the net and none worked.
You have to wait 30 days because you recently unlocked your device, once you unlock a device there has to be a gap of 30 days before unlocking another device (or even same device again)
I had same issue on my redmi 3s prime as i unlocked my bootloader of redmi 6 pro & while flashing miui to redmi 3s prime i accidentally locked bootloader, it showed me 30 days wait, so what i did, i created a new account from scratch & then logged on my redmi 3s prime with that account so i had to wait 72 hours only for binding process & then i unlocked my bootloader
But as your device is dead, i will suggest you either move to care centre they can repair your device through edl method or else wait for 30 days
Mine locked after flashing miuipro. Miflash said I have to wait 30 days because you can unlock 1 device on 1 account once in month. But I used redmi 6 pro toolkit to unlock it. Somehow it bypassed this and unlocked right away.

Aren't you ashamed of putting a trojan in it? SHAME ON YOU!!!!
Are you crazy? What kind of anti-virus are you using? I took this toolkit from xiaomi.eu forum. It worked for me like a charm. I haven't been messing around in it.

Try this one.
So you're crazy. What is this? Any toolkit can be consider by anti-virus as a threat. Mine showed nothing. Anyways, do what you want. This toolkit helped me unlock my phone right away. Believe it or not and wait 1 month.
check once again bro.
Even chrome failed to download it and says Virus detected.
I've downloaded it to phone. Maybe someone did something to it lately. Anyways it worked for 2 months ago.
Wonderful !
Though Windows/chrome shows it as malware/virus.
I managed to download it on the phone and transferred it to PC.
It works like charm.
I unlocked my bootloader.
Download it, before it stops working/someone deletes it.
Thanks for providing the link
See?! Told ya

Hey, friend. Let me ask you a question.
If I unlock the bootloader using the toolkit, and flash India Rom (on chinese phone), can I have problems in future (to install OTA updates etc..) ?
Or is it better to wait 15 days and unlock with the official miflashtool ?
Unlocked bootloader is unlocked bootloader. There's no difference. The toolkit uses miflash unlock anyways. So it's pretty official way. I've used it to unlock second time the same phone in one day. U can't do it officially on one account because you have to wait 30 days. Toolkit bypassed this waiting time period somehow. I don't know what will happen if you're unlocking for the first time. Maybe you will have to wait 15 days like official way. You have to try and let us know. Flashing roms after unlocking is the same.
hello guys,i unlocked my redmi 6 pro but cannot change to global rom,in miflash it says "missmatching device" help me pls
Redmi 6 Pro Toolkit really works to unlock the bootloader for the second time without having to wait 30 days. !!!
Hai..
I have same problem too.. my phone was bricked after miui 10 updated ,then i bring to the store, and they installed china dev rom for my redmi 6 pro, but i wanna bring back my miui global rom.
Now i'd already try with redmi 6 pro toolkit , and i got same message for the ubl.. must wait until 360 days.. any another suggestion..?
this tool unlocked bootloader instantly
This tool unlocked bootloader instantly without wait and unbricked my device. Thank you!
even after using this toolkit and following the instructions im gettin 360 hr wait time...
This tool won't help you skip waiting period if you unlocking your device for the first time. It will help skip 1 month waiting when you want to unlock using same account for the second time. That was in my case.
the archives is either unknown or damage

Hello
I wanted to report something strange that happened today
2 weeks ago I buyed the Xiaomi pad 5 (nabu) to replace my mother's one (galaxy tab 3) getting very old anyway
After receiving it and setting it up I discovered that I wasn't able to install Netflix because the bootloader was unlocked
And the ROM installed was the golbal version
So the stuuuuuupid me just relocked the bootloader through fastboot and ended up with a bricked device unable to boot the system and rebooting to on recovery to say that's it can't boot on this miui version
Couldn't flash with mi flashtool can't unlock the bootloader as mi account wasn't binded on the tablet
The only solution I've found is to pay someone with edl authorised account to flash China ROM or unlock bootloader
After trying a bunch of softwares I decided to give up and wait to get payed so I can afford a service to unlock the tablet
Doing so I have let the tablet booted in fastboot (can't find a way to turn it off)
And miraculously today I have found the tablet booted in the system like nothing happend
All data where erased and frp lock was on i've set up the tablet binded mi account and now I have to wait for the 168h cool down to unlock
So was that a bug ? How did the tablet boot into the system with locked bootloader on global ROM ?
And why now it won't boot on system again ?
I think the original ROM was 13.0.5.0
But when it booted it was on version 13.0.3.0
What do you think about it ?
Sorry for that crappy English I'm french
Your english is quite good.
Not sure, but it probably decided it was somehow stuck and automatically rebooted to the other partition.
