how to solve the 86006 error during unlock?

hello, my account is ALREADY allowed to unlock because i unlocked a phone some months ago.
i enableddeveloper options, enabled OEM unlock, added my account ot mi account status, but after i put it i receive the 86006 error.
So when i use miunlock program from pc... it says me that current account is not bound to this device. BUT IT IS NOT TRUE.... how to solve this but?
already tried a factory reset..... nothing helped me,

i flashed the latest developer now seems to solve it... no more error BUT on mi unlock program it says me t wait 72hours. WHY? my account is already unlocked and approved months ago for unlocking....
i am going to update you after 72 hours... if i will unlock it

Any update?

if you are on stable 8.5 , flash dev rom (i flashed dev 9), it will solve 86006
now every account need 72 hours after added to device

If you install that tool and check all of the .exe files on virustotal.com you'll find a lot of hits on some of the files which appear to have trojans in them. Be careful. One file had 5 or 6 hits and another had 11 hits on virustotal.com which an almost certain sign it is a dangerous trojan.

I solve this problem flash dev rom :good:

I appreciate the help but this is a terrible solution for those of us who just need root but don't want a custom rom and never intended to wipe. There is a workaround that failed for me but appears to be working for the Redmi Note and the Miui forum claims it now works for ALL phones receiving 86006 error (the fix where you don't actually have to bind the account -- just verify with phone number on the mi website, then let it locate your phone, and then, if that doesn't work, clear the mi unlock tool cache.
Mentioning it because even though it didn't work for me (Live in USA, using global rom) maybe it works for others in other countries. Most of the posts I've seen where it worked were from users located in India.

Unlock Xiaomi redmi 9

Hello, in need of some help.
I am having a great deal of difficulty in unlocking the bootloader on my Xiaomi redmi 9. I've completed all of the steps that Xiaomi ask customers to do and that any expert I've seen on YouTube doing. But after two weeks I still can't even get to the dreaded wait two weeks to unlock stage, if I could then I'd be a happy man!
I've got developer options sorted, turned on oem and debugging, linked my account to the mi unlock in developer settings, device found and on. Also updated drivers on my windows 10 laptop, signed in to my account on the mi unlock program, set phone in fastboot and then the unlock program verifies my device, but at 100% it keeps on giving me the same response ( please add your account in miui's settings-developer options-mi unlock status) which is crazy because I've completed all of the required steps and then some more steps to try and get past this can't unlock message. Also tried older versions of the unlock tool, but no luck.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated, or a direction to go in to help me unlock the phone. I've contacted mi customer service for help, but they keep sending me the steps that I should follow to get unlock status and I've tried this a thousand times!

Bootloader unlocking guid/ Binding Account
First signout mi account,
Then reboot phone,
Then open developer option and click on
mi unlocked status
Then add your account here,
Now it's successfully binded
Then rest of the process do with laptop or computer

Hi, thanks for responding. I've just tried that and unfortunately it's the same outcome, 'couldn't unlock'

are you using Redmi 9 with NFC version ?

Hello, yes it has NFC, I've just checked

yes its version problem, there was a lot of people reporting can't unlock bootloader for redmi 9 NFC version
for more detail maybe you can check post in this here with title 'Redmi 9 Root'

Thanks for the help. So I've bought a phone to root and it looks like I've bought the only one in the world that you can't even unlock the bootloader on ??*. I wondered why I couldn't find any more information. The phone is still under a month old, I might see if I can return it, ffs!

same here was happy about the price 101€ only but now i will return it too... i don´t want to have a phone without root

I had the same problem as you described.
Today, I did log off my MUI account from the phone settings and logged in again.
I started "mi unlock status" under development settings and added my phone.
Booted into fastmode and started the mi unlock program and got the message "please wait 168 hours ..."
In the past, I did always receive the message "add your account in mi unlock status"
I'm not sure, what did the trick:
logoff and login or just had to wait, that xiaomi fixed their unlock process.
Hopefully, I will get the phone unlocked in a week.
*fingers crossed*

I received information from the technical support that only one phone number must be active on the smartphone, the one assigned to the account. Secondly, if it still does not work, try several times until it shows the time to unlock.
It worked for me.

successfull unlock

Hello, thanks for your info on the 168 hrs wait. I went back on and tried again and got the 168 hrs wait too. I messed it up the first week and must have signed out, so I had to wait another week. Anyway unlocked now, but I'm having just as much of a problem trying to flash twrp to my phone. In command prompt every downloaded file I've tried and used won't recognise the prompts, can't get past the prompt fastboot devices or ADB devices! So can't find my phone to enable flashing twrp across and in turn I can't root my phone! It's driving me nuts.
Usb debugging on
Ptp selected
Windows drivers find my phone
But still having problems when trying to use command prompt in platform tools ?

lock
How can I lock it again ?

i have waited 168 hrs now its telling to wait 168 hr again...what can i do

the answer is,you have to wait,or contact xiaomi,lol.

Error when trying to login to mi unlock tool

Hello, i wanted to unlock my xiaomi redmi 8's bootloader because i wanna install root on it. I completely understand the risks and im willing to unlock it. I don't care if it takes months for xiaomi to approve my mi account. So, when i tried logging in into mi unlock tool with my mi account, first thing i noticed is that its quite slow. Anyway i entered my details when i was at the account login page, and then a few seconds later the page turned white. At first i thought it was just simply loading however after i checked the logs, i see this message: WARNING: account loading error: -188. Ive done some research why it isnt working. They suggested that i should disable my antivirus and run the tool with administrator priviliges. However that didnt help either. Ive also noticed that after i clicked add account and device in mi unlock state, (i enabled mobile data and turned off wifi) it said my mi account had been added. However when i exit out of mi unlock state and go back it says to add my account again. I dont know if thats intentional or not. If somebody can help me i'd gladly appreciate it.

if youve failed unlocking it, your phone is still safely under guarantee, have no fear (IMHO)
i remembered ~2Y ago when i tried unlocking it i was also sent in a loop. i followed the usual guides and all and was also reverified on my phone and PC again. sometimes the mi server can be buggy, and we had to wait for a bit.
make sure your phones SIM 1 (in the middle) has both SMS and data kuota available, as thats how they verify your device and account. IIRC 1 SMS to their servers, and 1 verification data from network to your phone.

I haven't gotten to unlock my device yet. So far i'm at the logging in into mi unlock tool stage. And also yes, i have all of those things that you mentioned.

yep it looks like youre stumped after waiting a day. for references, which guide are you following? does windows and ADB|fastboot detect your phone and driver?
usually an account is verified after a few days when creating a new xiaomi account, and 1 week after using the phone.
from what i remembered that most guides dont state is that my friend told me to locate my device first via i.mi.com first. after locating the device in normal system mode, follow the usual steps. as i said i too remembered how buggy mi unlock can be. hopefully others can also chime in.
my mi unlock tools an ancient 4.5.514.47, newer versions should be preferred for security|bugfixes, but im just saying i unlocked it with that version in case it might help.

Yes mi unlock tool detects my device in fastboot mode. I'm following a tutorial on youtube.

Good news, i managed to unlock and root my phone! I guess i was just lucky because i tried logging from day to day and i finally got it to work.

Question Boot loader unlock help

Good day to you all
I have recently bought myself this lovely device, unfortunately mine came as a single sim model from my network provider.
I have tried following the guide for unlocking in the "How to" section, but I fail to get passed the point where one must check the Mi-Unlock status of the device.
If anybody can help me with this I would be grateful.
Thanks in advance

This Is the result i get from the unlock tool

Ok so I have found my problem.
I worked out that Find Device setting was enabled and was blocking the Unlock procedure.
I disabled it and tried unlocking again. This time I got the wait 168 hours to try again message.
Progress!!!
I hope this can help somebody else that is having the same issue

Can you tell me the steps you used in unlocking your note 10 pro bootloader ,I still don't understand how to do it well

Disable Find my Phone, Enable developer options, enable OEM unlock and Check MiUnlock status in developer options.
Download MiUnlock tool from Xiaomi website, do not use 3rd part website. Install it onto any pc and check for updates. You will need a Mi Account for this. Use these same credentials to log into the Mi Account on the device before the next step.
Enable USB debugging in developer options and reboot to bootloader. Connect the phone to the pc and start MiUnlock tool. Follow the prompts till the unlock process fails. The tool will give you a message to wait 168 hours before trying again. Do not reboot your phone during this time. This is 7 days wait. Use this time to back up your phone and save any data you need from the phone.
This is where I have got up to so far. Another 6 days to go.

You're using older unlock tool. Get new one from official website.

Update check was done inside the app and official latest release downloaded.
I will recheck this weekend for newer version.
Thank you

Sorry for late reply.
Thanks for all who helped
Successfully running Xiaomi.eu now for a month

Hello, I recently got this amazing phone and was thinking about unlocking the bootloader and flashing Magisk.
How do I find out my remaining time left for unlocking the bootloader? I feel like I could unlock right now because I could bind my account to my phone straight away, although I might be just dumb and it gets binded immediately. Thanks.

Xiaomi tool.
USB debugging enabled
Accounts: add a MiAccount.
Disable Find My device * very important* otherwise bootloader unlock is blocked.
It takes 7 days. Do not reboot or power down the device for this time. Unlocking is done twice. 1 to start the countdown and 2nd to complete the unlock.
Search the forum for instructions on unlock process.
You can check your unlock status in developer options. If prompted use your MiAccount credentials.

Question bootloader unlock, account not authorised

Hi a while ago i unlocked my boot loader and after a long time not using the phone i locked the boot loader,,im trying to unlocvk again using same account andit keeps saying account not authorised. even though im using same account.??
i also logged into mi website to post there and as soon a click post it says banned from posting??
is there anything right about xiaomi that just works??
How do i get over this hurdle of unlocking boot loader again?
Regards

I guess You have to apply again for unlock with MiFlash_Unlock tool and wait 168 hours. If this account is bugged you can try a new account. As far as i know this is the only method to unlock bootloader on xiaomi phones.

so i deleted account and recreated new account with same number now it says please add your account to miui settings > developer settings >mi unlock status...which i have done and it says successfully added but every time i go to unlock keeps saying the same above thing to add to your account....

Are you using latest version Mi Unlock ?
Try uninstall/reinstall Mi unlock tool.

Yes I have tried that. Still no go. What happened was I locked boot loader which then gave me destroyed system error. I got someone to reinstall latest Chinese rom. Phone is all working now but this is the issue I am having. Keeps saying add account to device as mentioned above.

That's a strange issue. I've never had problems unlocking the bootloader of my Xiaomi phones.
Try remove your Mi account (in settings) , reboot , then log in again . Then add back the account in developer setting.
And try run as administrator option , when opening Mi unlock app.

once you added the new account dont add it anymore because you are resetting the 168 hours timer. i think you just have to wait 7 days and try to unlock with the mi unlock tool

You can try a factory reset. It may fix the problem.

Tried that too and reinstalled the rom from scratch. Still same issue. I have a feeling it’s my old number and email associated to that account that might be causing the issue as it’s been used before to unlock boot loader? but tomorrow new email new number. Let’s see. Will update.
Regards.

If you have deleted the old account before creating a new one it should not cause a problem. But yeah delete all accounts connected to this phone number and make a new account with a different email. Good luck buddy! Tell us what happened after that

so made new account with gmail and new number and followed these steps and downloaded unlock tool from here and it all worked finally, now it says wait 168 hours
downloaded unlock tool from https://en.miui.com/unlock/download_en.html
and updated it,
followed these instructions and used us as region when creating account but used uk number
one thing i did was make an account via email first on the website and set region to us, once account was created i logged in at the website and added recovery number through there, then logged in to xiaomi account oh phone and it showed up.
Make a Mi account through Google and set the region to US - it's important to set the region to US... EU gave me the rebind error
Add the Mi account to your phone (settings -> Mi Account)
Set the recovery phone on your Mi account and verify the phone number.
Make sure you have OEM Unlocking and USB Debugging enabled
Go to Mi Unlock status -> add account (make sure you're on data)
In your PC download the latest Mi Unlock Tool (click on the gear icon and check for updates + download if there are any)
In the same gear menu check for USB Drivers and install them
Log into the same Mi account in the Unlock tool
Enter Fastboot on your phone
Unlock (it may prompt you to wait 168 hours, but after that you should be able to unlock)
patiently awaiting now

Well I was this close to selling the thing if this last step didn’t work. But now will install eu rom as that’s what I had before and it worked good.
Only reason I changed to iPhone was it worked better with my Audi as the direction part on google maps on android auto took up quite a fair bit of the screen which was annoying.
Still does but worked out how to change it from the right side of the screen to the left which is a tad better I guess.

Hi Guys
a little update
as I am waiting for the days to countdown to unlock bootloader, I decided to go to work on the current miui14 Chinese rom, I deleted all the installed Chinese apps all the bloatware completely, activated google play services, installed play store, installed all my current apps, duplicated this phone and the home screen layout exactly to my iPhone set up, logged into my cards and banking apps without any issues, installed vanced YouTube and premium Spotify and as well as a couple no longer available apps.. set everything to English, deleted baidu and mifly keyboard installed google keyboard, and its exactly like how I would have it as if the boot loader was unlocked with a eu.rom.
now if I can get all this without unlocking bootloader all through a Chinese rom, why would i want to go through the headache of unlocking the bootloader to install a eu rom which is based on this very Chinese rom I believe?
can anyone suggest any reasons as to why anyone would go through the bootloader headache, unless I forgot something that i do that i haven't done via this route that might pop to mind later.
Regards

I didnt like the Chinese rom because:
1)the search engine (when you swipe up on home screen) is chinese and u cant change it.
2)"Ok Google" voice command was not working (or was buggy) if i remember correctly.
3) There were some other things that were coming up in chinese but i dont remember exactly what.
4) Many apps were not working in the background and i was not receiving notifications even when i locked those apps, put them on "no restriction" and enabled "auto start".
5) I saw many good bonus features that the EliteRom has (gets updates every 1 or 2 weeks, based on xiaomi.eu weekly) and decided to try it. So far i really like it!
But if you are okay with the Chinese ROM, u can stick with it

Make sure you use the app provided in link in my original post as after using a new email and new number I downloaded the unlock app from that link as the one I was using before had a different layout and kept giving that darn issue.
