How to recover from Deleted MI Account

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

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.

redmi6 stock rom full backup before unlocking or twrping

hi, i have a redmi6 cereus (type M1804C3DG 64GB) android 8.1 and i have upgraded from miui global 9.6 to miui global V10.2.6.0 (OCGMIXM) stable.
i have created a miui account and i’m waiting the last days for bootloader unlocking permission.
even if i loose warranty i decided to root it (the idea is to install twrp - the only way i know to make full backups and magisk).
but before i would like to know if there is any way to make a full backup of the stock rom as is (maybe before unlocking or before installing recovery) to eventualy restore phone as it came (if it has sense relocking bootloader and restoring stock rom) to see if in case it’s possible to try not to loose warranty
so is there any way to make a full backup of the stock rom (not in cloud) i mean to an sd card or to a pc to eventualy restore to stock if needed?

I can backup data partition only in LR TWRP. But i can backup everything else in every TWRP for R6.

stuck in locked bootloader

good, tnx for the tip, i'll consider the second then.
unfortunately i'm blocked since more than 3 weeks and i don't know how to come out from an idiot message that says that i haven't used the phone enough.
the situation is this:
redmi 6 (cereus type M1804C3DG 64GB) android8.1
upgraded from miui global 9.6 to miui global V10.2.3.0 (OCGMIXM) stable
the phone is still always logged in the mi account from the beginning when i’ve tried to unlock
spent 15 days waiting unlock permissions but the result is that mi unlock (3.3.827.31 official) tells me is: "Couldn't unlock"
the dispotic reason in chineese ideograms reports: “The phone has not been used for the specified time and cannot be unlocked" 手机使用未达到指定时间，无法解锁 (with the button below “unlock again”)
after theese 15 days i'm still logged and i’ve spent the following 9 days using it more, but trying to unlock gives always the same idiot message
i feel rooked because i'm not the owner of the phone i've buyed
any ideas on any way to unlock?

* remove the account do a factory reset.
* re-add the same account.
* enable oem-unlocking & mi unlock permission in developer setting.
* download older version of mi unlock tool (I used 2.3.803.10)
* flash twrp & your flavours.

hey bro this was the key!! successfully unlocked, don't know how to thank you man!!
hey since i'm quite sure to have lost warranty, i'd like to be sure about the steps because reading around i saw that once flashed twrp to make it permanent i should wipe data and to disable force encryption flashing also lazyflasher or no-verifyencrypt so avoiding that at first reboot system re-encrypts again and that twrp will be replaced from stock recovery, is it right?
magisk a part, did you flash something else after twrp?

If you want only rooted system then just format userdata in fastboot then flash twrp and then flash disableforceencryption or lazyflasher then magisk through twrp.

Debloat vs. Remove MIUI?

Hey all,
I am almost done with my waiting time for unlocking the bootloader. I am not sure if I should be flashing Xiaomi.eu or not. My aim from this is that I want to remove everything from MIUI that track and harvest data. I do not care if I continue to have MIUI or move to any other ROM.
Anyway, I noticed that my Mi 10 Ultra keeps running the following apps:
- Analytics.
- GetApps.
- Mi Browser.
- AI Call Assistant (what is that? Why do I need a call assitant?)
- NetworkLocation (What is that? Is it collecting any data?)
I have already stopped all the permission and uninstalled all the updates of those apps from the settings. They still manage to download themselves on my stock ROM and continue to function!
Anyway, I did not find any ROM to install other than Xiaomi.eu to be honest. But, it still has Analytics. But, they gave it a different name. The only good thing is that they claim that they have removed all bloats and they decreased the data collection to its minimum.
Moving on, I have tried ([ADB DEBLOAT] MIUI 12.0.8 List). I did not filter ones I want to remove. I just removed everything mentioned. My phone showed a loading screen which says Just a Sec. I waited for a while and then restarted the phone because, it did not move anywhere from there. So, I have decided to restart and... My phone was locked. It was locked for a day and then I was able to unlock it after I did a hard reset.
I do not want to go through that again. So, I am waiting for my bootloader to unlock before doing anything to my device.
So, here are my questions:
1- Is there no Custom Rom that is compatible with Mi 10 Ultra other than Xiaomi.eu? What are my options here?
2- If I installed Xiaomi.eu. What are things that I should be removing? And do I have to sign in to Mi account again after unlocking the bootloader?
Thanks in advance,

I think currently there are no custom ROM for Mi 10 Ultra yet, only official china rom and EU rom atm.
I am running the 20.9.24 weekly EU rom currently, the rom removed almost all china exclusive app (mi wallet and etc). You probably do not need to remove anything. Yes, you need to login to MI account again.

friend I'm not a star I tell you how things are 1) you can't go back with another Rom only china 2) anti-roll-back 3) MiCloud you have to disable it you can try MiflashV2 there is also to unlock the bootloader it does everything even the firmware remember if the firmware does not start. important not only china also not china for updates remember first you do the factory reset put google account do not update any app except google drive backup with drive if it has arrived update it is better by setting the time instead of downloading the package the problem is when the update occurs it fails to close all active apps and then there is MiCloud that blocks. Best wishes and good luck and that I have little time for me too much trouble here in Europe.

currently my phone is stuck at the logo and after seconds it loads Fastboot automatically i cant access the phone os to do anything i used the xiaomi bootloader unlocker app that works online but it didnt work . the local cell phone service shops told that they have to open the phones back case to fix it ... i dont want that i've just bought the phone didnt even use it for a whole month

they don't have to open it they use licensed or dongle software (USB type) currently I use unlocktoll.net but if the phone is under warranty and you haven't removed the bootloader before it is better for you. It is possible that others have the same problem as you. Good luck

Rule number 1 for Xiaomi never flash anything on Mediatek devices, it will fail. If messed up, no way back as Xiaomi locks the devices for autorized service providers or local Xiaomi branches only. If you want to play with Xiaomi custom roms/development/etc. related only buy Snapdragon based devices.
I i.e. learned it the hard way, when this all started with the Redmi Note 8 Pro, I bricked it by flashing twrp in Android 11 and Xiaomi didn't want to repair it, so I had to pay some russian guy to fix it via Teamviewer with a modified unlock tool which was able to answer the unlock requests by pasting the answer manually from a generator. It's not like I messed up at a point, it's just that Mediatek devices easily fall in a unrecoverable state. In my term it was the combination of Android version and twrp. You will note there is no Mediatek support on xda and even when your device is named like a Snapdragon version, your device is offtopic here, because trying anything on it beyond unlocking the bootloader is harakiri

how to unlock my bricked Redmi Note 11 Pro 5g (Chinaissarro) Bootloader​
Congratulation. Brick without unlocked BL :/
my opinion: you are done....
Some Xiaomi devices have pins on motherboard to
switch EDL, but i dont know with this device.
Try complaint and say something like: "my phone was upgraded and then i see only logo"

rule #1 with Xiaomi - bootloader is unlocked

Question 'unable to connect' error message

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

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.
Xiaomi Eu rom infos.

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...
