If I were to buy a used Mi5 and I dont have the mi account that was originally used on the phone, can I unlock the bootloader?
As far as I know, the Mi Unlock tool only checks if the Mi Account you login to is the same as the one currently in use on the phone. It should work.
So if someone factory resets, no account used then I use a new account, all should be good?

Yeah, as long as that user removes the device from their Mi account, as you won't be able to sign in to any other one otherwise.
Yeah, I would make sure that user actually removes the device from their Mi account. Even when I use Miflash and install a new ROM via fastboot, I still get prompted to enter my Mi account password.

Just create your own MI account an request for unlock permissions.
Should work without much problems.
You can't, since every mi Phone bind it's imei to previous account on that device.

Then you would never be able to sell the phone to another person, since you had to give your own mi account to that buyer.
Sorry but i can't believe that.
If it is, it is stupid and should be changed.
Try signing out from the previous account
I was able to change from one MiUi account to another by first signing out from one MiUi account. I think on the device it says "un-register device on account" or similar. So you could try installing the previous de-bloated rom and try to unregister the device while booted into the rom, and then install new Rom.

just sign out mi account binded to that phone and sell it, i answered he can't because he bought mi 5 in china so how he found previous owner ?. there is only 2 solutions : 1. use any rom except miui 2. using dongle box to remove mi account that binded to that phone..
I have same problem, what I have to do? how to remove binding?
you can bypass activation state with any xiaomi account bypass support box or dongle.
I recommended MRT Dongle or BST Dongle.
if your device is bootloader unlocked , try flash custom recovery and remove /system/app/finddevice/FindDevice.apk via recovery
-1 . /system/app/finddevice.apk
-2./system/app/Cloud.apk
Hey guys I just bought in China used Mi5,
Seller told me that i can't log in Mi account, so now I can't update my MIUI rom,
Miui version is 7.2.12.0 can someone tell me how to remove binding from old account and install clean Global Stable rom?
Download the version you want (i suggest the Global Developer version) and put it in the Download_rom map of the phone.
Then start the Update software, choose from menu for installing downloaded rom and choose the downloaded version.
After that, you can register online an own (new) MI account.
If the phone is still bootloader locked you can ask for unlock permissions on your new account.
If already unlocked, just connect you new MI account with the phone.
Last step can be done from the developer version in the developer menu.

I am not sure if i understand correctly, but the bootloader will not get locked just from the upgrade.
It can get locked by a full new install via the MI flash software (if you want that).
You can simply logout from the current Mi account, so the phone is not mapped to that old account.
Make a new Mi account if you don't have it, and login on the phone with that account.
If the phone is bootloader locked, wait 24 hours after login and then request unlock permissions.
But yours was already unlocked i thought.

Ok, then start by logging out the MI account.
You will not need a password for that, just go to settings and find the MI account and logout.

If you have a MIUI without Mi account in the settings, then i think you have a custom rom and not the original China or Global rom.
If you follow my steps, then you will not lock the bootloader.
Download the Global Developer or the China Developer version and put in on the phone in the Download_rom directory.
Start the Update App.
Push on the 3 dots (menu) button on the top right.
Choose for 'Other rom' or something like that.
Choose the downloaded full version rom and choose install.
That will give you a developer version with the Mi account option and it will not lock your phone.
I think your device is bypassed Mi account lock for temporary .
device can lock after firmware update or factory data reset , please be careful
Redmi 3s
bootloader is unlocked in my device. i frequently shift between miui and stock rom. Once when i came back to miui rom from stock, everything came up, but i got a screen saying "mi account is locked" and it wants me to verify the account. So when i entered the password of the mi account, it says "cant verify, cant connect to internet". The thing is im not able to bypass that screen, without bypassing i cant use the phone nor cant enter any app.
Im using global developer rom.
Please help me.

Well can you see the Mi account info in your device? If yes then try to recover the password. If that's not possible then register a new Mi account and request for an unlock request again. As far as I know it may not be possible to delete an Mi account fully. Just try to recover the password.

I don't think so. Unless you've phone no bounded with that account. Just re-apply for unlock with that new account and remove the Mi account from your device.
No its not possible to recover it anymore... Unfortunately your phone is a paperweight now.
I think you can try https://imeisn.com/ if you didn't found a solution. It helped me just yesturday.
Hi,
I've bought the Mi 9T Pro on Amazon.
So far, everything works fine besides the fact that I get an error message in chinese while using the Mi flash unlocker to unlock the bootloader.
Mi account logged in. Since I don't have a nano-sim yet for my main number I've used my spare card to activate it.
Anyone fluent in chinese what might be missing here?

The message says that the device has been locked via the MI find my device service. Is the number your account? If so, you will have to unlock your device first via find my device.

Oh someone can read it.
Any idea how or where I can remove that completely?
Edit: the number is not my primary under which I've registered my other Mi devices. But I've used it once to unlock my dad's Mi Mix 3, which is also registered with my Mi account.

If the displayed account is your account, you should be able to just head to i.mi.com and unblock your own device. If it's someone else's account number, that means someone has marked it stolen or otherwise locked.
Alright, after cutting my sim I continued. After updating the MiUi Flasher I get now errors in English.
New error: "Current account is not bound to this device. Enable it under dev options -> Mi Unlock status."
I did exactly that - I inserted the sim, went to this options, and ticked link to account. fter that I got a message "linked successfully". In fastboot mode in the flasher I get the same exact error again. The phone does not seem to be recognized by the Mi account and is thus not listed in the Mi cloud.
Any ideas what went wrong and how to fix it?

Log in to the Mi Flash Tool using the phone number of the SIM that's in the phone and was used to register the phone for unlocking (when you go to developer settings, unlock status)
This normally happens because the phone number wasn't registered on your Mi account before starting the unlock process.
That was the error, ty very much. I did always login with my email. After the phone number it did show a timer.
PS: a whole week now? No idea why they prolong it each time...

Might have been due to an older version of the Mi flash tool. After I updated it, it was in english. Maybe the older version did not have support for the global Mi 9T and thought I have a chinese K20 Pro.

You are lucky, I have to wait 169hrs before I can unlock the bootloader.

Are you sure the phone is not stolen?
I format+download my REDMI 9. The device is mine, but I deleted MI account before to log out my phone and now I can't restore it and my device fallen into a black screen every time I connect it on internet.
Format+download doesn't resolve your issue.
Maybe the mainboard code is stored in other partition and every time you connect to web, the Mi cloud application look for the code into XIAOMI SERVER and lock the phone.
The only way is to find a modified ROM without mi cloud application or find the way to deleted application using any software without connect device to web.
I think that it is a big mistake of xiaomi.
If I deleted my account, automatically lets free all device connected, or if your issue is the privacy, instead lock a black screen, create a button that allow you only to wipe all data so all stored informations will be lost and you can use it.
