Original post:
Hey guys,
my Redmi Note 5 Global arrived today. I have the permission for unlock since 2 years, so I tried to unlock it with no success. First I got an unknown error and after some attempts I got the message: Couldn't Unlock "After 360 hours of trying to unlock the device".
Is there a way to solve this? I've found no solution so far, would a new mi account with new permission solve the problem?

Tried 2 new account. First I get an error that my account is not bound to the device, then I bind it and the 360 hours message is back

The secret trick is not to Bind your account in Developer Options, but just log in on the device.

Then there's the following error. Tried it with 3 mi accounts, with and without VPN, disabled firewall...
Don't know what I'm doing wrong :|

Have you logged in to the same account on phone as the unlock tool. Again Don't BIND in developer options.

Yes. Everytime the same error
These are the steps I'm doing, maybe there's something obvious wrong or I'm too stupid^^
1. Try to unlock with first account --> 360h
2. Reboot phone, logout from mi account. Login into the second mi account.
3. Reboot in Fastboot --> sign out on the mi unlock tool and sign in with the second account --> current account is not bound to the device.
After the 360h message from the first account, the mi unlock tool should be not touched?
Edit: Tried also the way with removing the device from I.mi.com. My RN5 has no inserted sim card, is that a problem? Just wifi.
Edit 2: Tried also with closing mi unlock tool between the 2 unlock attempts and with inserted sim card, same result.

Uhmm, you should also try to clear the cache of MI unlock tool. Otherwise, it gives you same error no matter how many times you try. That's what I'd do. It might not work but try it and redo the procedure. Share the results

Can't exactly remember. Look in file menu for about option in mi unlock tool and in that if I remember correctly there should be a log button. If you click that a directory will open. Remove all the files. It may not be accurate as I'm not at home right now.

Xiaomi has fixed the issue, so now you will have to wait 360h.

I wondered, I fiddled a bit with the config, and I saw:
C:\Users\me\Downloads\miflash_unlock-en-3.3.525.23\config\app_info
Inside:
"http://update.miui.com/updates/mi-updateV6.php?v=1.0.0.0&c=4.1&d=miflash_unlock"
Maybe there's a way to call an OLDER api version
I don't have time to play with that, but maybe it's a good hint to solve the issue.
Cheers,

It saying Could not unlock after 50 hours of try. even it tried about 10 seconds.

when i need to get permission request to unlock
only thing i see that download unlock tool
i try to do with all steps available but no unlock and no massage from xaomi to wait or any thing

you can try to turn off sync in your mi account

Unlocking the bootloader
While unlocking the bootloader, I went to developer settings and was trying to unlock the device.
Don't disconnect from the network, sign out of your Mi Account, perform a factory rest, or erase system data. If you've already done any of the above, add your Mi Account again; otherwise, you won't be able to unlock your device.
I was getting this error, after restarting the phone, signing out and signing in; the same issue.
I even did a factory reset but had the same issue.
Please let me know what can be done.

Note 5 pro (Indian) - multiple errors - need help

Hi all,
I am having very peculiar issues for which I need your help. I want to unlock boot loader of my phone. When i bought the device i was on 9.2.7 and updated to 9.5.6.0 (OEIMIFA).
The issues I am facing are :-
1) 86006 error for binding.
2) Tried to sync my phone with mi cloud and find device (as an alternate solution) but the website is not able to find my device. I have given all the permissions to all the mi apps but even then the my phone is not "connected" - it just shows "just a sec" on the website. Surprisingly sync works and has backed up my contacts and sms.
After going through all the mi forum and the xda forums, i think its update which has screwed up with the mi cloud or I have missed something in between.
Please let me know if something can be done as I am fed up with the camera focus issues in 9.5.6.0.
I have searched all threads and forums and no one had similar issues, even then if there exists other thread then mods please merge it with that one.
Thanks,
VK

Bro, just try unlocking your bootloader directly though mi unlock tool without binding account or anything, it will get unlocked as happened for various users.
Also dont forget to enable oem unlocking and usb debugging settings in developers section.

Thank you for your reply bro, I have already tried it and it does not work for me. In the MI unlock tool it gives error message and instructs to bind the account.

Try with this version https://www27.zippyshare.com/v/XbiIkf2j/file.html and see if it works

Did I bricked my phone ?

Hey guys I'm in big trouble
Short story I tried to update to MIUI 12 and ended up with only bootloader working, I followed this guide getdroidtips.com/guide-flash-miui-rom-xiaomi-devices/#How_to_Flash_Xiaomi_Firmware_using_Fastboot to flash the stock rom but I installed Global instead of Chinese (My phone is chinese), when I boot it says that "this miui version cant be installed on this device, looks like my bootloader have been locked again.
I tried flashing the correct rom with mi flash tool but no success
If anyone has any idea of what I need to do please tell me I absolutely dont know what to do :/
Thanks in advance

You should try to unlock the bootloader again.Remember, you can only re-open with the account you first opened.

Thanks for your response!
I tried unlocking it again but it tells me that I need to add my account in the MIUI settings which of course I can't do.
My phone came with an already unlocked bootloader when I bought it because it's a chinese version with global rom.
Do you think the account needed to re unlock the bootloader could be the one the seller used to unlock it the first time ?

possibly opened with the seller's account,if the seller cannot unlock, the only method is EDL,authorized account is required for this and the back cover needs to be removed.

Ok, I'll see with the seller then.
There's something I don't understand with EDL, what step needs an authorized account?
If I open my phone, short-circuit the pin to enter EDL mode then flash the fastboot rom via Mi Flash Tool will I be just asked to login at some point ?

I tried to connect to account_auth.exe and I get the message "This computer is bound to your PC, you can start now". Does this mean that my account is authorized ?
The differents guides explaining how to check if an account is authorized never show this and I'm not getting that red error message so that's weird

you are getting this error because your account is not authorized.xiaomi services have this account if you find a completely informal service maybe they will help or a quality not offical phone service.The repairers who think that they will repair the device can make the device brick.You should be careful and finally,you can take a look at it, maybe it will work.

Thanks for the advice, I'll look into that

Quick update in case someone is going through the same problem and need some help:
I contacted this guy on whatsapp +7 967 777-15-98, cost me 29usd and the guy had to try like 3 times over team viewer until it worked but in the end it did.
So yeah basically for now the only solution seems to be paying random dudes in Ukraine :/
Let's hope Xiaomi change their policy or someone find a bypass to this EDL authorization bullsh*t

Do you recommend this boy ?, I contacted him yesterday but for not wanting to pay 4 extra dollars I decided to go with another one but he doesn't give me an answer

Yeah it's quite expensive but I can confirm it works, he's the only one I can recommend as he's the only one I paid
If you found a cheaper one it might be worth waiting a bit for him to respond, be sure to Google his phone number to be sure it's not a scam tho

Question Mi account won't bind on poco f3

As the title said I can't seem to bind it to the phone. I want to unlock the bootloader. Resetting doesn't work, logging in on another account doesn't work. Then resetting again does not work. I'm at the end of my knowledge and was hoping for some help here.

Did u follow the correct procedure to prepare ur phone for unlocking ur bootloader? Like is described in here: https://c.mi.com/thread-1635834-1-1.html

Same happened with me. You have to logout from your mi account and re login. This solved my problem.

Just reset my Mi account password yesterday in preparation for bootloader unlocking.
I've not unlocked any Xiaomi device (my Mi Pad 4 came unlocked) with my Mi account, although I have used the account on my Mi Pad 4 for almost 3 years now.

Samsung S20+ 5G SM-G986U Google Lock

Hello All,
I purchased this phone from Facebook Marketplace and it is locked to a google account. The seller has not responded to my messages after the deal. I was hoping I could find a solution for this but I'm stuck at a dead end after weeks of searching.
The Android Recovery page shows: Android 11, G986USQS2DUE2. I've come to know that it is on binary 2 of the bootloader and that has been the crux of the issue since there is no combination firmware available for this version to reset the lock. If it was still on binary 1 I could have flashed the combo firmware, reset the lock, and then flashed back with Odin.
I was hoping someone could let me know my options here. As far as I know I'm S.O.L and lost my money which isn't a big deal. But I've been having fun trying to figure it out. None of the YouTube methods have worked for me.
Apologies if this is not the correct forum or if this type of question is not allowed. Thanks in advance!
edit: Was able to solve it with some useful tools I found on YouTube. Won't advertise the tool here but basically used my PC & USB command to sneak into the app store and download Alliance Shield to enter debug mode and was able to unlock it with the tool.

Thanks for the advice. I emailed them and unfortunately they do not support the feature for this phone.

I remember from xda-developers: https://www.xda-developers.com/bypass-frp-unlockjunky/ and https://www.xda-developers.com/droidkit-unlock/ but otherwise report to police. Sounds the device been stolen.

Use progeeksblog frp unlock service to get your phone unlocked within 5 minutes.
