Bought used Mi6

So I just bought a used Mi6 from eBay. Now I can't fully remember but if I want to unlock it, I would need the original mi account right? If I don't have it, does that mean I can't unlock it?

Bump

No one knows?

Depends if the last owned linked their account to it or not.

Good news, received today, logged into mi account in the flash tool and its unlocked.
Time to fire up aospa.

Lucky.
I got unlock permission but I have to wait I guess as it didn't work this morning.
How is AOSPA?

Will test during the weekend. Why didn't your unlock work? What error message did you get?

Stuck at 99% just saying can't unlock.
I'm assuming for now that even though I got my text I still need to wait for 3 days minimum for the unlock to actually go through.
Waiting sucks but to some extent I'm glad as it stops me rushing into anything.
Now my environment for flashing is set up so I can flash over to the latest China Dev and then install ROMs etc.
Seems to be the way to do it to get the latest firmware.

Any message like account not bound to device?
Did you add the mi account in the bootloader status settings?

Nah it says to try again in 18 hours.
English is a bad translation so I thought it was telling me I'd only waited that long.
But it's gone down from 25 so I'm assuming it's a timer. So ETA 18 hours to unlock for me
I've done everything perfectly

You have to create an official Mi Account and apply for unlocking !
After your application is approved and you connected your device with your account you have to wait 72 hours.
Then you can easily unlock with the official unlock tool

Can we unlock the bootloader bypassing the time restrictions?

Friends,
I just bought the RN5 Pro. And is there any way to bypass the time limit and unlock the bootloader immediately?

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.

Question Any other way to root poco F3?

Hello.
Is there any other way to root my poco f3 without waiting for the 168-hour bootloader to unlock, which must be unlocked via the miunlockflash tool?
Thanks

Nope, don't think so, or everyone would be doing it!!

no other way, everyone has to wait the 168 hours

No. Even if there was: NEVER FLASH SOMETHING WITHOUT THE BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED. If you do you have a very high risk of a SOFT BRICK meaning you have to send your phone to a service centre

Don't want to intercept this thread but just wanted to ask. Will I need to have my phone turned off while waiting for the 1 week period or can I just use it normally?

Hi to all, I just got the F3. I have bad time unlocking the bootloader and need advice.
Sim card with data is inserted.
Mi account is logged to the device
Find device and location are enabled
OEM unlock, USB debugging are enabled and I have applied for bootloader unlock.
Edit: at the end I managed to begin the unlock process saying I would try after 357 hours! 15 days! What is that;

A safe way is to not use the phone during that period.

Of course and it is obsolete but this method still works for those who are in a hurry, just create another account and try it for free.

In general 168 hours but sometimes depending on the country and the phone the wait is more or less higher.
I had the case with a new redmi note 7 where the unlocking was done in 36 hours while my poco or my 11t pro took 168 hours, why I don't know.
