hay, please help me? I can not unlock bootloader in my mi note 3. I've tried various ways but have not found a solution yet. always listed (youre mi account not bound)
:crying:
First, you need to download SoloVPN (change region server to China - connect) than go to Mi unlock status and there bound phone with account. After that wait 72 hours and than unlock.

You can find a lot of VPN by which you can connect to Chinese Cities. While connected with VPN service, go to unlock status and tap bound to this device. Then to unlock the bootloader again.
The global stable which is floating around is very old, so here's a newer one.
http://bigota.d.miui.com/V9.5.18.0.ODGMIFA/miui_MIMIX2SGlobal_V9.5.18.0.ODGMIFA_a9e31fa04c_8.0.zip
It might be possible to update to this if you are on older global stable.
Nightly builds are also updated at:
https://funkyhuawei.club/mimix2builds
We have up to May 8 builds now.
I will add stable builds there in the future as well.
Thanks a lot. Is it a fastboot rom?

Not a fastboot rom. Regular OTA zip.
Cool thx!
Could you please provide fastboot ROM version as well?

Hmm do you know if this is flashable within the updater when we have a locked bootloader on the chinese stable (8gb variant)?

It's not. It fails due to region mismatch. It might work if you have an original global phone, but not on Chinese.
For Chinese, only hope of switching to global is unlocking the bootloader.
Just FYI, you can't install it through Updater app as this update is a beta update. Flash it manually with TWRP.
Edit. At least that's what Updater app tells me, I'm on v9.5.4.0 Global.

Thanks for that insight.
I am really pissed at Xiaomi: I am a 5 year Gold user in their forum and once even was a beta tester and admin there, in the Galaxy Note 1 + MIUI days.
When I bought the Mi Mix 2S 8GB variant last Sunday, I logged in with my MI Account, which has unlock permissions since 2 years and I was able to unlock any new Xiaomi phone I ever bought immediately without waiting for confirmation SMS anymore (as the Unlocking permission is on account level, not device level).
Then I enabled Developer Mode and went into "Mi Unlock status" to press "Add account and device". After that I started the unlocker application as usual and tried to unlock, which failed. with the message "Wait 360 hours" which is over 10 days! Damn...
Later I checked the developer settings again and saw another thing "OEM unlocking" which is set to OFF.
TLDR; Do you know if we have to set this to ON as well, before starting the unlocking process?

I set it to on before trying to unlock and my device was unlocked immediately. I'm a Diamond member and was a beta tester in 2017 though so I'm not sure if that makes any difference

From my experience yes, you have to switch it on. I'm pissed off as well, got the device mid-April and got it usable only a week ago on the 3rd of May, as 360h is a heckin' 15 days. Gotta think twice before buying anything Xiaomi again, though Mix 2S is beyond amazing thus far <3

Can I borrow your account and unlock mine? I've still got to wait 10 days

I think that would be theoretically possible:
Set your device's MI Account to an account that already has unlock permissions.
In developer options add the device for unlock permissions.
In developer options turn on OEM unlock.
Unlock.
But never tried. I'm sure xiaomi is banning accounts that unlock too many devices, because thats how they prevent resellers from buying chinese devices and flashing the global rom in big quantities.

Chinese resellers, generally, have been using EDL to flash the global rom without touching the bootloader. But it seems not possible with Mi Mix 2S. I think they're trying to prevent resellers from installing compromised custom ROMs, which is fine, but 15 days is still a long wait.
My account also allows unlocking, but not instantly it would seem, as I got the 15 day wait. I don't have any kind of special account, but I've had it for a long time.
On the Mi Mix 2, I had a 72 hour wait, which I didn't really mind. But 360 hours is a long time!
Anyway, theoretically, if someone offered me their account which can unlock the phone instantly, it would be a gamble. If it turns out it doesn't work to unlock the phone instantly, I think my wait would get reset to 360 hours again.
any news about root?it's working correctly by flash magisk from polaris recovery?

I can confirm to you, that having that option set to ON, in developer options, the result is the same...i got an "WAIT 360 Hours" too.
Got my message text last Sunday, granted me to unlock the device, then when i logged into my Mi Account to unlock it, gave me that message...so, got to wait 360 hours.
When i flash a global rom, is the bootloader still unlocked? Have the china version with unlocked bootloader and xiaomi.eu rom at the moment.

Yes, your bootloader won't relock again and if you relock it you can unlock it instantly again without waiting the 360h.
@duraaraa
Can you find fastboot ROM version of it? That would be highly appreciated.

I'm impressed with the difficulty to release a fastboot version for the Global Rom.
For every build has fastboot version on bigota servers but more difficult to find them than the recovery version

I am buying a used Poco X3 or Poco X3 NFC. Are they all unlockable? If not, what should I do to confirm that the one I am buying can be? What problems can I run into? (Like maybe the previous owners MI account could be a problem?) Your thoughts or experiences welcome. Thanks in advance.

Yes, just make sure the previous owner remove their authorization from that device (remove all Mi and Google account, then remove all lock/pattern/pin).
Next time you will unlock it, do it with your own account.

Thanks! I ran the Mi Unlock Tool, and it said to wait 168 hours. But at the same time it told me not to log out of my Mi account. Can I turn off the computer / exit the mi unlock tool? Or do I have to leave the computer & Mi Unlock Tool on and signed-in for a week?

You can turn off the computer and exit the unlock tool.
Not logging out means that you shouldn't log out of your Mi account on your phone and you shouldn't change your Mi account in the Mi Unlock Tool

Cmiiw, once a time when I need to unlock 2 phones with 1 PC. Thus I should change the account of Mi Unlock Tool. And both phone could be unlocked accordingly.
From my POV, don't log out means logout mi account in the phone only. But if you could keep the logon of mi unlock tool, that wpuld be better

Just try it, and keep ups updated.
If my mind didn't tricked me, I once happened to wait only 3days for unlocking my redmi 3 pro.

Thanks, I was worried it might reset the timer or ruin the unlock process.
I tried just now, and now it says to wait 116 hours. So it looks like an automatic timer countdown.
Hello,
I'm trying to unlock my Xiaomi Mi 12 2201123C, i've installed newest OTA update.
I have two of those phones, first one was unlocked without issues (still waiting a week) but the second one is showing "Please rebind and try again"
In Mi Flash logs i can see:
DEBUG <12:22:16.763,T:14776> : sign result:{
"code" : 20056,
"descCN" : "请重新绑定后再次尝试解锁",
"descEN" : "Please rebind and try again.",
"description" : "请重新绑定后再次尝试解锁",
"uid" : "8172355320"
}
did anyone had similar issue?
you have to rebind your device to your account. you can do this at the devoleper options, mi unlock status. maybe you will have to wait 7 days to unlock

currently the Xiaomi servers are having issues, afaik you don't have to rebind, but wait till Xiaomi has fixed their servers

just everyone who recently tried to unlock their bootloader has issues, and it's a server issue cause it should work with a new account (for the highest success rate: create new Xiaomi account with US region and use that one to unlock your phone (the 168 hour timer will be reset))
As title suggests,
I have had the phone since 10th March, and since day 1 I bound the account in Mi Unlock Status in developer settings successfully, enabled OEM unlocking and USB debugging.
However, I have tried the Mi Unlock tool version 6.5.406.31 and 6.5.224.28.
I even tried XiaomiToolV2-99.9.9 (the one on github)
They all say the same message

I'm at a loss on what to do, I've never had this issue before on any of my previous Xiaomi phones since Xiaomi Mi 6.
For some scope, I got the phone from WondaMobile 12GB Ram 512GB Storage China model.
I even contacted Xiaomi Customer service, they said "I've passed this on to the technical team" then ended the chat haha
Can anyone advise what I can do?

Yep, tried it all. believe me, I'm good at this stuff, been doing it since 2010.
And I'm also a Software Engineer in my day job.
Just this one is being a little b.
I made sure my phone wasn't using a VPN, or a DNS as I do often use both.
But I was wondering, (I've never come across this myself) if because it's a china version that I might need to use a china vpn?
Others have CN devices and not this problem and others with Global were never able to unlock the bootloader.

Yeah I've seen.
I've already tried everything you've suggested,
Login via email on both phone and tool,
Login via phone number on both phone and tool,
Login via account number on both phone and tool,
Login via QR Code on tool from phone.
I've already used the locate tool in the browser multiple times, can confirm I can locate all my Unlocked bootloaders xiaomi phones including this one.
I haven't changed my account, but I'm unsure why I would need to do that since I've never had issues with it before since 2014.
I'm worried about doing a factory reset because it's a china rom, which has english language support. but will not have Google play installed. I know I can install it, but it's hasle. I'd rather do this as a last resort, so I may login with a new account if I still can't unlock it later.
Unless theres any other suggestions.

I saw this somewhere else, but I have not seen an actual source for it. If you could find a source I'd greatly appreciate it.
This must be a new thing because I've never had this issue before. I created accounts and successfully unlocked bootloaders within 168 hours successfully.
On my main account it usually unlocks within 15 minutes. But this time, it's not taking to the binding.
