Alright guys, so after surfing on the internet for two days without any luck to solve this issue, here's how I worked it out.
I know a lot of people might have gone through deleting their mi account before signing out from the phone and hence locked onto the deleted uid activate phone screen, right?
The official helpline suggests us to go to the service center but honestly the engineers over there don't know a **** either. All they know is how to hard reset the phone, if the problem is gone then - "EUREKA" !! , else "Well its a hardware issue, motherboard replacement is the only option, it will cost $$$$ rupees." Are you effing kidding me, its in warranty.
Even clean flash with edl mode or so doesn't seem to do the trick.
The only solution that worked was :-
1. Well obviously create a new mi account.
2. learn how to use edl mode, coz that's what's gonna help
edl - http://en.miui.com/thread-290959-1-1.html
How to use miflash with edl guide - http://en.miui.com/thread-235865-1-1.html
3. Download the oldest fastboot rom for your phone.
( I know this is the tricky part to find an old rom but try to go as low as possible, for me, having a redmi note 3, i went as low as 7.1.7.0 )
4. Download the latest recovery rom for your phone from here http://en.miui.com/a-234.html
5. Now enter the edl mode and use Miflash to clean flash the fastboot rom you downloaded.
Wait till the phone starts. The trick here is that older version of miui roms dont directly check for account status. Instead it gives us a choice to use an existing account or to create a new account.
So enter the credentials of the new account you created and log in with it.
6. Enable Find Device now. ( Yes this is important )
7. Load the recovery rom in the internal memory of your phone and use the updater app to update it to the latest rom.
8. It'll take some time to update, but after the phone starts you can see that you have the latest rom and it already has the new mi account logged in.
9. Open https://i.mi.com/ in pc and log in with your new account. Click on Find Device and let it locate your device. Somewhere on the browser you'll see the option to wipe your device remotely. Click on it and let it wipe your device.
10. After the phone is wiped and starts again, click next next until the mi account screen appears. You'll see that instead of asking password for the older account that was deleted, it'll ask you the password for the new account that you recently used. You already know the password so just enter it and voila the rest you know.
11. I suggest you perform a reset from settings -> additional settings -> backup and reset -> reset.
Yep this is it. You have successfully linked your phone with the new mi account. I guess its kinda overwriting it or so, but well who cares, the annoying device locked with deleted account is gone now. I know its a lot of steps and all but its certainly better than the alternative.
Adios people. Enjoy the unlocked beast.
hello, after update with latest when get internet conection goes it self to locked screen and ask for old mi account not the new one. it is a redmi 3
Hi, I know this post is somewhat old but I have an issue with MI Account. Here is my story, the kids were using my Redmi 4a device and created a login password accidentally which they don't remember anymore. So I did do a recovery to bypass the login password but was stuck at "Mi Account" login page. I had forgotten my password or anything related to Mi account. After researching on the net and following some tutorials I did flash with EDL using Global ROM MIUI8 (rolex) and after successful flashing I switched on the phone and the MI account login was not there anymore plus I didn't connect to the net. After inserting SIM cards fine, wifi works fine but I dare not go into that MI account login in the settings so my question is, if I use that MI account in the settings will it be a new account or would it ask for that old (before flashing) account password and moreover if I do upgrade what would happen? Thanks in advance.
Regarding Mi Account
I have followed step by password log in is gone and everything is fine working with old version and I create new account then I start upgrade by going to update application then after upgrade then reboot then when log start boot then again asking old account which deleted ....my divice is mi pad
My contact no with WhatsApp 9481924680

Can you please send me a video of all the process
is that reset phone? i need contents in phone.
Assalam o alikum and hello friends.
Jawad here. And in this Post I would like to share a simple trick with you guys,If you are Reading this then its means either your Mi devices is locked or you don’t know the Mi account installed on your device. Things you should know are what are ROOTING, CUSTOM RECOVERY, CUSTOM ROMS and how to do those. This post will be simple but not the procedure and unfortunately will be like this.
First of all let me tell you one thing and that will be If your Mi device is lock you can install CUSTOM roms, BUT its my personal experience that when I changed rom from MIUI rom to other custom rom I was missing My MIUI rom badly. Secondly this process will be long so be have some patience, And At last If you follow all the steps correctly then IN SHA ALLAH you will find your very own Mi account on your device.
1)If your Mi device is lock what should you do first, Things you should do is DOWNLOAD TWRP, LAZYFLASHER, CUSTOM ROM (which ever you like) SUPER USER.
2)Now Install TWRP recovery through Fastboot, For that you will find Many videos on youtube.
3)After that just for few minutes install custom rom. (Flash through TWRP) Look for HOW TO INSTALL CUSTOM ROM THROUGH TWRP for your specific device.
4)Root it (Flash SUPERUSER.ZIP through twrp amd flash lazyflasher too) and install DEVICE ID CHANGER and change your DEVICE ID. In whichever way you like, It can be of your own choice or it can be randomly.
5)After that Flash your desire MIUI rom and go through the process. And now you will find that your device is without any previous Mi account.
Thanks for Reading

My device is Redmi 3s prime, brought it from China. when came back, I couldn't verify my Mi account so had to Flash custom rom Linage Os 14.1 didn't like that at all so shifted to the next and then to the next, And then by chance install Pixel Rom although couldn't root it but found that my device ID was changed so just to try if anything like that can ever work, I flashed MIUI 8 again and was surprised to found that there wasn't any Mi account at my device. So I created my New Mi account.
To confirm this very theory I had to root my device and had to Change device ID and then performed factory reset only and this did work. There wasn't any MIUI verification.
Thanks mate it worked perfectly

Here is the prove
Prese Thanks Buttom if i help you
i need help, let me tell my story first.
OK, so my phone is redmi 4 Prime, i got it second handed...bought it complete with box and charger, and everything
the seller already unlock the bootloader and installed TWRP with custom rom installed too, AOKP
when i said is mi account is log out, he said yes, i wont worry because he got the box, so if anything wrong i can request unlock to xiaomi
but then after i flash with MIUI, i found out MI account havent been log out
so i ask the seller but the password he gave wont work, then he said, that maybe it was his old mi account he forget...
OK, so i do request to xiaomi, but my request is rejected 3 times
i ask online Chat for why i always rejected even though i got the box,
after that CS xiaomi call me, and then i know that the imei in the box is different 1 number than in the phone, i check it before, but i didnt notice this 1 number different,
maybe i am not too focus and also it already night we meet up. i know it is my fault not pay attention more
in the box imei is :
xx33xxxxxxxxxxx
yy33yyyyyyyyyy
but in the phone is :
xx32xxxxxxxxxxx
yy32yyyyyyyyyy
and now the seller is very damn hard to contact. his number is always offline...
i know his identity card number and his wife, i got it in the phone, i back up all the data and backup with twrp too.
but maybe it will take a while until we meet again...since i have work and it is a bit far
although i still can flash customrom, i too want use the default MIUI rom
i check "the box imei" is not link to any mi account
so then i tried fix my imei using QSPT and backup my xqcn, edit it then restore to phone
the imei now the same as the box, flash miui 8.5.3.0, still show activation. weird thing is i can scan wifi the momen after selecting region...when using old imei, i can.
tried above method, change device id, still wont work...
the think is, i even not connect to network yet, but it still link to mi account, how can it be??
is flashing using EDL mode can lock again the bootloader?, because if so, i am affraid it will make this phone useless
any suggestion what should i do??

Nice question and answer is itself question. Yes mi account still there. Only way is go to service center and give them imei no. and pay money. Or go to any Big repairer and tell them Your story. They will Bypass it or delete Mi account so that You can enjoy phone with network .
Many people who face issue of network in mi Xiaomi mobile or redmi mobile is 1st check IMEI with bill box. if correct then proceed with Mi account process though you may not seeing any mi account locked to phone. mi server keep records of it.
If No bill box then Check online site imei.info or similar site , type there imei no and proceed with captcha and get result. if your phone is same as per there details shown then all good , otherwise may be problem. sometime imei.info provide wrong information so check other websites.

Hi,
i'm posting here, because I don't know what exactly my problem is.
I factory reseted an android smartphone (samsung galaxy core prime) through the recovery menu.
The bad thing is that the device was synced with a google account, that hasn't been deleted before the reset.
When I want to setup the clean phone, i get asked to login with the previous google account. But when I do, it says the account is the wrong one.
EDIT: I'm pretty sure its the correct one, because I can see the device under "Recently used Devices" in my google account. But i can't delete it there... probably because the account is not set up on the phone.
Now my question: Could i solve the problem if I flash a custom ROM on the phone? I already tried it with a Stock ROM for T-Mobile, but it didn't change anything.
Hope you guys can help me out!

You won't be able to even flash a custom recovery on a FRP locked device.
There's ways to get around FRP lock, check out rootjunky.

Hi,
I have problem with a mi device (Mi4c). It was bricked and I have succed to restore it. "This device is associated with an existing Mi account...." (159****855).
But, it's not my ID account or my friend ID account. Mine is : 279***686 My friend is : 160****427
So, the mobile phone was purchased completly new on Aliexpress (it was 1 on a half or two years ago).
At this point I can't connect my mi account on this phone and it is completly locked.
have tried to install the first Miui 7 rom. I have succeeded to connect mi Miui account. But, after that, I have installed the last Miui version and get the same message!
If i'm not be able to connect my account, I have a message that tell me to give an unlock code to the customer service (Your device is associated with another mi account (159****855))! But this FU***NG device never been associated with this account! :
The unlock code is like that :
2E540***1618
Do you have some ideas?
Thanks!
Finally, I have found a solution.
Need an unlocked device with custom recovery
Step one :
Fastboot mod :
*fastboot -w
*Fastboot erase config
Step two :
*Take the STABLE Xiaomi.eu rom accorded to your device on this page : https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/5-10-15-16.28809/
*Install it via your custom recovery and reboot your phone
Step three :
*At this time, I have not tried to connect my miui account (so, I can't tell you if it work)
*Insteed of trying to connect my Miui account, create another one with an e-mail adress!!!
*After that, go to your Miui account (on your device) and associate your Mi4c (or other device) with your phone number. It's in setting / Mi account / Devices

Maybe the bug will be fixed with Android Nougat.
For now, I have installed the last beta GlobeRom and it work perfectly (I have tried to disconnect and reconnect two accounts many time).
Thanks for ur instructions!!! It works for me but when I tried to upgrade to miui 8 by flashing a stable rom. I still get the 'this device is associated with etc....' Error. How did you disable find device? Thanks for your help!!
Did you do the following steps ?
*After Miui 7 rom installed, you need to reboot your phone.
*Instead of trying to connect my Miui account, create another one with an e-mail adress!!!
*After that, go to your Miui account (on your device) and associate your Mi4c (or other device) with your phone number. It's in setting / Mi account / Devices
*Activate "Find device" on your mi account and go to https://us.i.mi.com/ and activate to see if it work.
*After that, go to this page and flash the last rom (Beta or Stable, according to your device) : https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/6-12-22.36929/
*Reboot your phone.

I tried 2 diferent mi accounts with 2 diferent phone numbers added in developers options and main menu, logout and login, diferent computers, usb 2.0 or 3.0 and nothing, always getting same error instead usual contdown timer (7 days). My phone is K30 Pro Zoom with latest miui 11 china stable (now with MIUI 12 china stable).
Also I created a thread in oficial forum if you guys want add your opinion:
https://c.mi.com/thread-3153872-1-0.html
You could check the following steps:
- Unlock dev option
- Enable USB debug
- Place SIM in the device
- Add your account in the unlock settings on your device
- Try again.
These are the steps I followed this morning and recieved the 168hour timer.
So i guess you didn't add your account in the unlock settings on your device.. Had the same problem and addind my account in the settings fixed it.

I did everything as you can read in my post... placed SIM, usb debugging and OEM unlock enabled, added account with phone number attached to miui account in dev unlock option. Even I tried older Mi Flash tool version and latest one or usb 2.0 and 3.0, logout and login...
Funny thing is 1 day before worked fine and I got the 168h countdown but when i went to check 1 day after it's broken for me.
Then you probally already tried this, but recheck the usb driver on your computer?
Maybe it's an acces problem

I'm having the same issue as you, my only guess is it's connected to the "can't activate sim". For some reason it doesn't register it though the MI Unlock within the developer option confirmed that my MI Account is already added.
I think there's a current issue with the MiFlash unlock tool itself. Right now, I will wait for a couple of days before trying the tool again - without touching the MI Account on the phone itself.

In my case, I haven't changed my Mi Account thus my 168hours of waiting last week has already finished. My only gripe is the error message that I'm seeing from the Miflash tool as shown from the image you've sent. Also, what was the email address of their support? I've emailed their global site and I've yet to receive a reply from them ?

Woah, then I guess it's their servers fault for not allowing the unlock. Will try the "waiting another day" route since I've already waited for a week (168h).
Hope it will now unlock this time. ?

The email has very poor English. Does that mean you need to be logged in at least once in last 15 days prior to unlock request, or you need to be logged in for entire 15 days before you request for the unlock? There's quite a difference. But it could even be something else considering how that reply was constructed. And yes, I don't remember either that was required last time I was unlocking my Xiaomi Mi5. They really did it this time, like 7 days in not enough to wait already..
Anyone tried if unlocking BL with Ryzen works now?
linking mobile number to MI
I went to unlock my bootloader, did the usual steps (not my first rodeo) but got an error re Mi Account not linked to phone number.
1. Logged into Mi Account via web interface, chose my number as an emergency recovery number.
2. Went to phone and logged Mi Account out and back in again, had a notification-style prompt to enter the phone number to link it to, fumbled and couldn't get the window back to enter it
3. Managed to enter and link phone number - WIN
Now to wait until unlock and weigh up the benefit of Xiaomi.EU ROM -vs- definitely having working GooglePay and banking app :/

Now to wait until unlock and weigh up the benefit of Xiaomi.EU ROM -vs- definitely having working GooglePay and banking app :/

I unlocked it around 1 week ago and Im using gpay + banking app with Xiaomi.eu rom and magisk root. Just use magisk hide to hide your root on banking apps and gpay. Latest magisk canary version.
Hi! I have a strange problem. I recovered a cell phone (redmi note 6 pro) from a deceased relative, his closest people gave it to me. the problem is that I want to install Xiaomi.eu, but I am seeing strange things. First of all, the bootloader is unlocked. Second, I suspect that it has some type of bypass or something like that (I don't know much about the subject, I just change rom) I cannot start or create an account in My community. My fear is that when flashing the xiaomi.eu rom, the phone would be blocked with my account or something, and I would have several problems because I could not access the email or account of the previous owner and there is also the possibility that it is not even the account of the previous owner who would request in the blockade. thanks for reading, sorry for my bad english.
update: I was able to create an account from my google account. I don't know if it is safe to proceed
Update 2: (I wait for the last one) I already linked my phone number, google and facebook account to my account. everything seems to work, the My community app lets me in normally. Is it safe to proceed?
You can install a custom recovery as your phone is already unlocked. Then try to flash a Xiaomi EU rom, download that form a good website. You can get help by searching in YouTube or google. But careful please, don't get your phone bricked.
Ok so I am trying to unlock bootloader so that I can then flash the euro rom for Xiaomi 13. I currently have the Chinese version and using in the UK.
When I go into the phone settings and check mi unlock status and try to add my device to my account I get the error message as per title.
1. I have turned off wifi
2.i have signed in and out of my mi account several times to see if this would help
3. I have logged into my mi account through PC using same account details as those on the phone and it shows my device under 'my devices'
The problem is that I have never had the confirmation when trying to add my device through the phone that it has been linked correctly and I assume that is what is causing me a problem when I try to unlock my bootloader using mitools.
When I do this I get an error come up that states something like 'missing token'. I can't remember the exact words.
Not sure where I go from here. All drivers are installed correctly and device is recognized in adb .
Help please, really need to get of this Chinese rom.
Check that everything is correct

Thanks for your reply...
The first link just takes me to Xiaomi community home, not sure what im supossed to belooking for or checking there?
The second link takes me to a guide to unlock the bootloader, I am using Mitools to do this. This goes through its various stages to ensure all drivers insyalled etc and connects to the phone fine. i then have the option to select what i would like to do, i select 'unlock bootloader and then it links me to my xiaomi account where i sign in using the same details as are signed into on my phone. I am then faced with the 'xiaomi procedure failed [get service token] missing service token message.
Can you also explain what you mean by ensure currency location is enabled please?

The first link is the method and the second the official tool.
Settings/Xiaomi account/Xiaomi cloud/locate the device.
further to the above it seems others have recently had the same issue.
Hope im allowed to post this link here
Xiaomi procedure failed: [getServiceToken] Missing serviceToken cookie · Issue #23 · francescotescari/XiaoMiToolV2
I followed the instructions to unlock my Xiaomi phone, but I found this procedure error in the current linux version and in the Windows version.
github.com
There is mention in this that you have to have had your xiaomi account live for 7 days and have synced some items? Not sure if thats the case or not but this is becoming very frustrating. Really want to be off this chinese rom

But you are using an unofficial tool and complain that it doesn't work.
i tried the offical tool first but didnt work either, i then found on a youtube search that someone suggested trying mitool as that would also ensure you had all the corect drivers installed etc on pc for the adb when it came to flashinging the rom.
On another note, ive just tried to log into xiaomi cloud from my pc to use the find device service as i thought that might link the drvice and ive just had an account message come up saying that because i had not used my account for over a year that cloud services are no longer available on that account.
Do you think i need to delete that account somehow and just create a new one?

Try again with the official tool and post a screenshot of the error just in case.
You must place the Mi unlock folder at the root of your hard disk and check that:

ok i have the offical mi unlock on C drive. I have also just deleted my old xiaomi account and created a new on just to ensure there is no conflict there. i am logged in with the new account on my device and will log into mi unlock with same details and lets see what happens.
Thanks for your help so far,
ok so i am now a step further on!
having done the above (created a new xiaomi account) i am now being given the option (using offical versio) to unlock bootloader!
Im going to do that in a few hours as i believe it will wipe my device and take it back to its first start up?
That being the case it will then not have google play etc installed. Obviously my intention then is to flash the EU rom which i assume has google play pre installed?

Yep, this operation will erase your data as well as the first installation of the Xiaomi Eu rom which has the play store certified without root.
ok so just to confirm,
i now unlock the bootloader (hopefully i wont get the wait 'x' days message) and that will then completley wipe my device and take it back to its original chinese rom and start up screen like it was fresh out the box.
I can then just flash the EU ROM over the top and then i will have a device which has play store pre installed and nothing Chinese on it?

You will probably have to wait 168 hours.
Once the bootloader unlocks the phone restarts and asks you to connect to your account, go to the end of the configuration without entering passwords or others then flash the Xiaomi Eu rom (recommended fastboot method, First install.bat) .
Just the themes will have Chinese inside since it is Chinese based.

great thanks.
168 hours thing is a pain as i assume i wont be able to use my phone durring that time? obviously when it all starts it will be in chinese. Will i have an option to select english durring that reboot process? i guess also if i do want to use it while waiting for the 168 hours thing i would need to install google play again somehow?
The phone came with that pre-installed so i have not done that before.

actually im not thinking this through ....
what you are saying is that i wont be able to actually complete the bootloader unlock process for 160 hours from the point i try to request it. I assume i just carry on using ot as it is then and when the time is up come back and run it again at which point it will reset the phone and then at that point i can then flash the EU rom
Once the 168 hours have passed, you will need to use Mi Unlock again to finalize.
And you should use the phone "normally".
ok so we have hit another hurdle...
conected the phone ok to the unlock tool and then it stopped at stage 2 saying 'please add your device to your Mi account and try again'
i went back to the device and into developer settings and then Mi unlock status and clicked add device and again was greated with the original message of 'cannot connect please try again later'
wifi was off and the sim card in the phone....just dont know where i go from here.
when i sign into my xiaomi account on pc the device is shown there and when i sign into xiaomi cloud and click find device it locates it so all seems to be fine.
i dont understand what this connection error message is and why i still need to add it to something when the device shows in my account already

If you have created a new account, it sometimes takes a little time for the account to be activated (server update).
Try to connect with the QR code at the top right.
And of course with USB debugging enabled.
The ultimate solution is to do a factory reset.
Edit:
It seems to me that it is possible to ignore this error by continuing.
I did a back up to ensure the device was associated with the account and also did the find device thing which it found ok.
Where is the qr code thing your referring to?
Don't really want to resort to the factory reset as obviously I will need to install Google play again which I've not done before...
I don't believe it's possible to ignore this step as when I try to unlock the bootloader with the official too it stops and says the device must be added to the account...
