So 3 months after I got the phone, I tried to unlock the bootloader about 2 weeks ago, and got the timer (168 hours). Now when I tried to unlock it again, it's mostly giving me (Like 9.5 out of 10 times) a "Couldn't verify device: Can't get info" Error at 50%. There are rare instances when it goes beyond 50% and stops at 99% it will give me the following error (please see attachments).
I've tried everything from:
1. Re-linking my account in "Mi Unlock Status"
2. Removing fingerprints and lockscreen
3. Running unlock tool with admin rights
Could this be because I may have disabled some background apps or some of the apps I installed? I did leave Mi Cloud and Mi Account Sync on along with Find my device. If yes, then would a factory reset solve this problem?
I don't know what to do anymore :crying: . If anybody could help that would be greatly appreciated
Xiaomi sucks i had the same problem i got my phone 1 month earlier and everytime i tried to unlock they doubled the wqiting time in total im gettingv2 months of waiting and still im not sure after thzt, they will not add more time. They ducks with their unlock process, we want it to unlock this **** why making it complicated ? Chinese bastards

Download an earlier version of the unlock tool from here and try unlocking with the earlier version https://c.mi.com/thread-2262302-1-0.html
Some people have reported that using an older version works in these cases.
Use the miflash_unlock-en-2.3.803.10 version, it'll work!

You probably need to use a VPN service. I had similar problem with my MIX 2 and I had used Plex VPN and then only could unlock bootloader
Thank you to everybody who gave advice. It was weird, since what I did was:
1. Logged into the Mi Cloud website with my Mi Account
2. Checked if my phone was online
3. Tried the Find Me option, and was able to locate it (scary stuff and one of the reasons why I'm unlocking my bootloader)
4. Left it for a day and when I tried to unlock the following day, I was able to unlock it immediately
Seriously, the unlocking process of Xiaomi phones is a bit tedious and varied.

Thank you, using Find Me I was eventually able to unlock
I will agree on the tedious unlocking process. The last phone I will buy from them will be the Android One ones (A1/A2/A3). I had a fuss-free experience with my A1.
Hello all!
I have Xiaomi mi9t pro from chine. By MiFlash i installed newest global rom on phone. I chosen "flash_all_lock" script. After successful install (communicate in MiFlash) phone won't boot up. There is a message "MiUI version can't be installed on this device". I can't unlock boot-loader for install new rom again because Mi Unlock give me a message "Please add your account in MIUI's settings > developer option > Mi unlock status"
Before this, i successfully installed same rom file but with option "flash_all.bat" and it worked.
How i can fix this?
For any help thanks

You have hard bricked your phone. It can only be fixed by EDL flashing with an authorised Mi account, which are accounts used by authorised repair centres.
You can not cross flash regional ROMs and lock the bootloader
https://c.mi.com/thread-2584760-1-0.html
Easiest way to fix it is to get an authorised repair centre to restore the phone. If there is none near you it can be done yourself, with assistance.
To put the phone in EDL mode, you need to open the back of the phone and bridge 2 pins near the battery. To flash it you need to find someone with an authorised account who will remote desktop to your PC and flash the phone - for a fee of $25-$50 US
Search the forums on EDL flashing for exact details of the pin locations.
Ask on Xiaomi/Mi 9T Pro telegram groups for contact details of someone who can remotely flash your phone - as it's against XDA policy to 'promote' paid services here. XDA mods have actively removed posts that contain contact details of people who can remote flash Xiaomi devices for a fee.
I have a Redmi K20 Pro 8GB RAM 256GBROM
It came with a 12.0 Global MIUI
I ran the bootloader unlocker from Xiaomi, it worked the first time
Then I flashed it with: miui_RAPHAELGlobal_V12.5.2.0.RFKMIXM_edbf5f63e8_11.0.zip
It locked the bootloader.
I now only get the menu: MIUI Recovery 5.0
I can no longer run the bootloader unlock, it fails on the second step and says "Please add your account in MiUI's Settings > Developer options > Mi Unlock status. The phone won't boot even using safe mode.
I don't remember if I ever signed in to the phone with my Mi account, I suspect not.
I'd like to confirm that I used the right ROM, does the K20 Pro and the 9T Pro use the same ROM?
So how can I unlock the bootloader?
What do I need to flash on this to go to 12.5. I don't use What's App so I don't care about those issues.
Is 12.5 and option? If not where can I get the latest ROM I can use?
Supposidely you used Mi Flash. You have two options there, like Clean All and Lock (unfortunately, offered by default) and just Clean All
Apparently you overlooked and left Clean All and Lock and as a result you locked your Bootloader
That's a common mistake and the way many people brick their phones. If anything goes wrong while flashing (wrong firmware, error in download, problems with cable, whatever), the result will be:
- phone cannot boot because of that error in flashing
- you cannot flash again since you already re-locked your Bootloader
Fortunately, I have no first-hand experience but I've seen many similar posts/questions and answers
AFAIK, you have two options now.
One, to look for somebody with EDL authorized account to remotely flash and unbrick your phone.
It will be a paid service and due to the XDA policies all posts providing such contacts are purged from XDA. You have to look to eg Telegram support groups to find them
The other option is in finding and using the so-called firehose file and method.
Tthat way you could unbrick the phone by yourself but you really need to google and/or search on XDA to find more details about
Sorry, that's all I could help you
I have a Redmi note 10 5g which I performed a factory reset - it booted back to the mi account screen and asked for password - the password was forgotten and the phone number is not accessible anymore because the sim is lost.
I have gone to the xiaomi site and submitted a request for a code with the information they asked for , but after 3 days have not received a SMS or any other contact from them.
the phone displays the unlocked symbol on boot
I can get the phone to fastboot and connect to windows computer running MiFlash and it will see the phone
can I just flash a 3rd party ROM with MiFlash and bypass/delete all the xiaomi account nonsense ?
or what are my options as a way forward to get this phone to a usable state ?
I have been reading the forums and lots of people seem to have had similar problems with their mi account but I have not seen a definitive solution posted that seems correct or else there is a lot of steps etc that seem to be jumbled or not explained neatly.
thanks for any help

You need to remove the Mi Lock via a paid server
by unlocking code (Offical remove)
ok - where do I find these paid server and how much do they cost ?

You need worldwide service
is this really the only answer ? why when I have access to the hardware , I am unable to do what I want ?
I own the phone , but it is basically a brick - I will attempt to get the phone number back with a new sim card from the teleco

If you restore the SIM card
Easily your device can be unlocked
I managed to get the phone number back from the telco and activated the phone
with the SIM card , I inserted into another phone and went to the xiaomi site , used the phone number and said I had lost the password - they sent me a confirmation code via SMS which then allowed me to change the password and then activate the phone with that password.
I started up the phone and went to settings -> Xiaomi account which showed that account was signed in on the phone
then I signed out of the account
this whole exercise has been a bit of an eye opener and makes me want to get a ASOP ROM onto the xiaomi phone as soon as possible - they make nice hardware for the prices , but this OS and the seeming need to access your data is a bad problem
many countries in the world have people who need to watch every bit of data their phone uses because of the cost , but so many of these companies have no qualms about just using a lot of it for their own gain - it is just immoral

Yes, since you have an unlocked bootloader and fastboot, you should be able to flash a 3rd party ROM.

Hello XDA friends, I have a problem regarding an MI account with a redmi note 11 (spes)...
It turns out that the phone belongs to a client (I'm a technician) and he asked me to recover his phone, the problem is that it is linked to a number that he lost in another country (Colombia) and well, I tried to flash and do a hard reset to your phone but it has the bootloader locked, and it turns out that to unlock it you also need the MI account, the most I can do is remove the account temporarily, but when you connect it to the internet again it links to the Xiaomi servers and it appears again which is blocked.
I can use the phone by ADB, Fastboot and Sideload mode without problem (although most limited commands), I tried to also flash the phone by EDL mode but I can't find the patched firehose.
Does anyone have an idea on how to delete or add a new account without having to connect the phone to the internet? As I told you, I can use the phone normally, only when I connect it to the internet, the blocked message appears in a matter of seconds or a minute , I don't have paid boxes or anything like that, I only use free stuff to work.
I would appreciate any hint or help, sorry for the English but I am using a translator, thank you very much!

I understand that you have to wait 7 days, the problem is that I can't wait that long since my client is not going to like it, so I don't know if there is a way to link the MI account to his new phone number in another way

Thanks for the help guys, but I've tried everything you've mentioned and I can't find the free firehose file anywhere either.
After many days of trying to remove the MI account, I have managed to at least suspend it and be able to use the phone without the annoying advertisement, for those who are interested in this information is gold:
1. Go to this video and download the tool: Edited by request of an administrator, {Mod edit. Oswald Boelcke, Senior Moderator}
2. Format the phone by sideload or any other method within your reach.
3. Open the tool, connect the phone in sideload mode and then select the Qualcomm tab, Xiaomi brand and the model of our beloved Redmi Note 11 (spes) and finally press the option "Disable Mi Cloud (sideload)" and that's it, the phone will be rebooted and the phone locked ad will never appear.
Note: By doing this process, you will never be able to link an MI account, since apparently the program changes the address of the Xiaomi servers, but the phone will work 100%.
Bonus: If you happen to want to use the phone temporarily, you can use this tool to disable the lock, but when you connect it to the internet it will lock again, good luck guys!

As I understand it, the mail is unknown and his phone number was lost.
In this part of the world where I live, these jobs are common, since they are ignorant people who do not know much about technology, so that they understand me, "farmers". And no, the phone is not stolen because it has the box with its IMEI.

For me the best solution would have been to pay someone with an authorized account, flash by EDL, enter a new MI account and unlock the bootloader.
It turns out that the redmi note 11 does not have a recovery partition and since the bootloader is unlocked, the blocking of the MI account is irrelevant, it disappears with each rom flash

Yes, obviously I know that paying someone with an authorized account solves the problem in the blink of an eye, but the idea is not to spend a dollar just using free stuff.
In the same way, if someone needs the box, they can write to me privately since nothing can be mentioned about it by the rules, yes, I recommend using an old PC that does not mind losing information or something like that since the executable is apparently malicious .
