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)

I've read that Xiaomi my reject your request for unlock of device. I've applied for the unlock two days ago but I really don't know where to check its status? And basically there shouldn't be any specific reason why one would want to unlock bootloader unless they're trying to install third party ROM? If one writes the reason as being I would like to install Xiaomi.eu ROM on my device that Xiaomi would strait off reject it or not? Because mainly that's what I would like to do until Xiaomi releases sources (if they do) at which point many will move to other ROMs (CM etc.). So.
Questions:
What kind of good reason may someone have to unloack bootloader so that unlock will be accepted without issues?
Where can one check unlock request status?
If one unlocks bootloader and then flashes official ROM (which will likely lock it again), can one unlock it without additional unlock requests to Xiaomi?
1. I said I bought from Gearbest and had a shop rom installed and want to install original rom (which was true, but nobody can confirm this obviously)
2. I do not think you can check it
3. Flashing official ROM will not lock your bootloader again
I would suggest you wait a little more and if you still do not get a reply, open a new request or post in the forums.
btw, the request completion will be sent via an SMS message, nothing else.
1. Android Developer.
It worked like a charm, received the unlock code half an out later.

Unless you are flashing a fastboot rom with miflash and select the flash and lock radio button.
I wrote flash global rom. got the approval few hours later
Sent from my MI 5s Plus using Tapatalk
I said "I want to install the xiaomi.eu rom for localization."
3 hours later they approved the request.
Thanks guys. I got permission to unlock after about 4 days. I suppose they had a bit more work after Black Friday so it took them a bit longer than usual.
But of all the reasons you're mentioned I think the best one is I'm an Android application developer. Others related to fake ROM etc. are not as viable as I'm pretty confident they know exactly which ROM you're using on which device the moment you sign in with you Mi account.

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 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!

So...I should sell it? And buy another mi max I guess...
Man I just bought it and I had to sell it at 2nd hand price?
Dang it
Ya ****ty situation but that's all a guy can do!
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 want to ask how to bypass miaccount on the phone Redmi note 8 pro (Begonia) my bootloadet is unlocked I have root via magisk so far I use costom rom RevengeOS everything works as it should but I would still like an official miui from xiaomi. I think I have to go if I have root and an unlocked bootloader and I still can't. only one thing managed to format the miaccount data via the SPFLASH tool and thus the system will boot but the card will be inserted or inserted. I will just add that I also have TWRP and MIUI 12.5 installed, of course, if necessary, MIUI can downgrade to create. Thank you for every insight and advice ....
PS. I'm sorry for the English I'm doing this via google translator.

If you have phone number or password, use it for unlock.
If you have bill, go to service center and get help.
If you don't have phone number, password or bill, that mean you stole it or buy stolen one somewhere then it's illegal.
