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
*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.
At this time, you can go to your mi account, and it's work (normally).
After that, I have tried to reinstall another rom (globerom) and it work perfectly.
But I have deactivated "found device" before doing that. Now, I'm able to connect the phone with another Miui account. It work perfectly.
Hope it can help others like me!

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.

Hello all,
You might be aware that while unlocking Redmi Note 5 Pro (whyred) you would face a error while binding which would read "86006" and hence this did not allow you to unlock bootloader.
The issue lies in server sync and can be only solved from Xiaomi's side. Translating the Chinese characters would tell that the error translates to "Illegal Parameter" warning.
Upon investigation, it was noted that the Indian Models which were made in China did not face the error whilst the Indian Models which were made in India faced this error. You can check this by checking box of your phone and seeing on front of box and bottom of rear side of box, if you see "Made in India" sticker or mark then you know you can't unlock bootloader as of now.
We have contacted Xiaomi and they will be releasing a fix soon and no eta has been specified.
UPDATE 1: Xiaomi has started to fix. This won't work on Whyred Models but it is starting to work
Take Backup **Data will be Deleted**
Turn on Mi Sync (Settings -> Sync)
Connect Device to Laptop/Desktop.
Open Mi Unlock tool on your Laptop/Desktop (Download)
Open the App, Install Drivers.
Shut down phone, connect to your Laptop/Desktop and restart in Fastboot Mode (Click Volume Down and Power Button)
Follow Steps.
Very sad. Waiting for it from few days Hope it will solve soon. View attachment 4469459

'86006' & 'Cennect to the network' errors are common. Sometime 86006 and the other time connect to the network

I don't know about xiaomi about i have seen this scenario with many companies that they just don't care about Bootloader related requests. When i was having flagship Lg G4( indian model) many petitions were signed against them to unlock Bootloader but they never cared. I think same is with xiaomi

A unique code(more precisely unique token key) received from Xiaomi server for phone linked with mi account is necessary to unlock with fastboot command ,mi unlock tool just serve the purpose of gui for same .So you cant do anything except If some mi-flash tool flaw to use modified bootloader in place of original one in edl mode.
I'm getting this type of error, so anybody knows can I unlock my bootloader?
Hello,
When I try to log into MI Account on my phone I get this error:
Javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException:
java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException:
Trust anchor for certification path not found
Similarly I am unable to update the phone via OTA or by choosing update package, or to pair phone and MI Account in Settings/Additional Settings/Developer options/MI Unlock status, or to send a bug report.
It seems, but I am not sure, that the issue started when I changed the status of my phone, from unlocked to locked.
Otherwise the phone works well.
MI Note 3 - Android 7.1.1 - MIUI Global 9.6.2.0 Stable NCHMIFD
I ve been trying to unlock the bootloader for a week now.
I am stuck at Developer Options > Mi Unlock status > Add account and device.
It throws up the error "Coudn't add, Device basic data authentication failed"
What could be the issue, any help / pointers will be appreciated.

I think you need to turn off wifi and enable mobile data then goto developer option and repeat the process.
Thanks, I tried but still not working.
There is no possible solution for this particular problem. We're constantly checking everyday but apparently its MIUI problem they messed up something in new update. Wait for Aug update.

This method doesn't work on newer devices, as the edl mode is locked and only accessible by opening the device's back case and shorting the edl flash point. Even after that flashing permission would be needed to flash via official mi flash tool which users can't get.

Excalibur, leave that bootloader issue first my device IMEI number is not getting verfied with the Flipkart exchange and the device exchange value is also very less its 1,680 without IMEI verified.
and then the mi suit does even recognise this device why I don't know.
And it's a 32 bit device that's a bad issue for gcam lovers too.,
Good things with this device that
Storage space 32 gb I have
(And that too this device doesn't support ExFat file system on as card)
Type C ( but its of no use without fast charging ) may be we can use this type c for audio output (again the audio drivers or hardware is of no best for orginal audio quality) you have to use mausic player like jet plus pro app to tune it .. if it's rooted then V4A viper 4 Android.

It supports 18w fast charging, you just need a fast charger to do that which doesn't come out of the box. I've been using a fast charger and it charges as quickly as rn8 pro or any other 18w supportable device.
There isn't anything wrong with the audio quality provided by the inbuilt dac, it's the same as any other phone in this price point or any devices costing even higher than this. And viper4droid does more like tuning the eq which again would be of no use if the device's dac is bad.
any update guys?

I also facing same problem brother did you find any solution or not
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?

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

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'

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...
