Hello, i have this issue. I have trouble with my phone. It doesn't recognize any simcard anymore. I installed a new sim-tray no solution. I want to try to downgrade the MIUI system or flash a custom ROM to try if this helps, but the bootlocker is locked. I tried to unlock, have a Xiaomi account but can't unlock it. I have to add phone via devlopper tools-->mi unlockstatus but this only works with mobile data and not with wifi. The phone is listed in my Xiaomi account. Is there an other way to unlock the bootloader ??? Or anyone knows a solution ?

You always need mobile data to unlock bootloader in Mi phones.
hey,
if the phone is listed in your xiaomi account it may just work.
you can always try it, grab that miunlock tool and login with your phone number+pass, boot the phone into the android/mibuny page and see if the tools lets you proceed without doing the devtools part.

How can I flash MIUI 9 Official Full ROM without unlocking the bootloader?
I pressed the ”OEM Unlocking” without unlocking the bootloader. I didn't even enter the approved account in "Mi unlock status". Now the status is unlocked. The bootloader is actually still locked. When I use PC to unlock bootloader, it goes until 99% and gives me the error "Current account is not bound to this device". I tried resetting the phone from settings (wipe data partition) but the status is still unlocked.
The question is how can I undo the status to locked so that I can continue unlocking this device and enter the approved account to "Mi unlock status"?

Apply for permission, wait to receive confirmation, sign into account on phone and on Mi unlock tool. Bit too Fastboot mode, on Mi-unlock tool it gets to 99% and then should give you a message to wait 360 hours. This is correct, it will work after the amount of time (about 2 weeks).
Thanks,
But this problem got even worse. I updated to MIUI 9.5 from MIUI 9.1. The update failed. It is not possible to boot into Android either. I even tried formating data. The bootloader is locked. I applied permission and already received it.
I bought the phone via China Mobile.
I suspect that my ROM may be a fake one. But it looks totaly original.
1. 4 digit version code
2. NCKMIEI --> Official and correct MIUI 9.1 version
3. Gapps preinstalled
4. No bloatware
5. Everything looks the same like the original ROM
6. Even Mi Remote is working
What I'm thinking about now is how is the Mi status "Unlocked" even I didn't even enter the approved Mi account used to unlock the bootloader.
I know the bootloader is really "locked" because
[email protected]> fastboot oem device-info
Locked

I'm currently trying to flash CN MIUI ROM through EDL mode (test point) because Global ROM failed. Then try to unlock bootloader from CN MIUI ROM and re-flash Global ROM through MiFlash
Okay, so the phone runs fine now. The phone now runs CN MIUI 9 9.5.3.0 stable version. I am still waiting for the 360 hours (15 days) man!!! for the bootloader unlocking. I applied for the unlocking. Will update when I successfully return to Global Stable ROM.
I flashed CN MIUI 9 ROM via test point. When it reboots, it will show you the error you've encountered before. Relax! Just reboot and wait for about 15 minutes and your phone is alive again.
Thanks Xiaomi for the INCREDIBLY TIGHT SECURITY ???

There is some risk you have to take in order to flash via EDL (test point) mode.
1. You have to backup all of your data. When you flash via EDL mode, your phone will return to "stock" like when you first buy the phone.
2. Flashing via EDL mode will involve removing the phone's back cover. You have to do this if you really want to flash via EDL mode.

Yes. You can unlock bootloader after flashing with EDL mode.
Only use China ROM if you bought your phone from China. If your phone is International phone / not bought from China, I advice you to flash Global ROM first. If it doesn't work, then try China ROM.

Have you tried a different account? Try registering a new account and don't change anything. Then apply unlock bootloader permission at https://en.miui.com/unlock/. After applying for permission, enter your account details in Mi Unlock Status.
If you have a PC, download Mi Unlock Tool here: http://miuirom.xiaomi.com/rom/u265827351/2.3.803.10/miflash_unlock-en-2.3.803.10.zip
Open Mi Unlock Tool by clicking miflash_unlock.exe.
Enter your login details and reboot your phone to fastboot mode.
Plug in your phone.
Press unlock.
If successful, you will see a message with "After 360 hours of trying to unlock device"
This is normal.
You need to wait for 15 days to try to unlock the bootloader.
There is no quicker way to overcome this. I also waited for 15 days. Also please don't keep pressing unlock in your PC when the 15 days is not over. It will block your device and you can't unlock again.
If you need some personal assistance, private message me and I will give you my Facebook / Messenger ID.
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!
Hello, I have this problem, bricked and locked bootloader.
I can't unlock with MiUnlock tool because I can't access to seetings in the device.
The device is ever turning into recovery and they are a message in red that says ¨This MIUI version can't be installed on this device¨
Anybody knows a way to bypass the bootloader or unlock it in this terms?

I have solved it flashing a chinese rom instead global rom.
Good time of day!
I have the same problem… I mistakenly flashed the Mi flash firmware of my Rn8 Pro, with subsequent blocking (I forgot to check), which absolutely could not be done with a ROM phone from China. The phone went to bootlop. The following attempts to flash the phone with Mi flash end with a message that the phone has a blocked bootloader. SP flash flashes successfully, but the bootlop problem remains…Is there any solution to restore the phone..? Sincerely.
same issue.

Hi,
Is your device still under warranty? If yes, you can go to the center to get it fix.
mi support via email were not very helpful and suggested i posted in the mi community forum for help.

Check with your credit card company, many of them offer cell phone insurance.
Hello everyone
I'm stuck in a horrible situation here if someone might be able to help would be a great help.
So basically I want to Unlock my phones bootloader but it happens to be that the Phone network is broken, I mean there is some issue with the motherboard where even If you insert a Sim it shows No SIM as. So I've been using this device just for surfing Yt and stuff.
So when I try to unlock the bootloader by going into the Developer option > Unlock Status and it needs a SIM card inserted to add device and account.
Is there a work around to bypass this.
What I have tried so far using MI unlock tool but it throws error.

after long time searching and tryng out both official and non official methods for unlocking bootloader, or at least bypass it I find this method which was 100% perfectly worked and made me able to flash any other custom rom or recovery
