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

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.

This thread is for the MediaPad M3 Lite 10 LTE - Tablet from Huawei.
In my case, I´m looking for a C-ROM and C-Recov (e.a. RR, Mokee, TWRP) for the
Huawei MediaPad M3 Lite 10 LTE (BAH-L09) with Android 7.0 and EMUI 5.1
Since it´s quite new on the market it´s atm hard to find anything bout a C-ROM or even a C-recovery.

Nobody knows any thread about this tablet??

Still searching for a root-solution.
So it's possible to read out the firmware with Infinity Box CM2 but haven't found a working "Non-dongle"-version (Loader).
Some days, there will be a root solution.
It just takes time and will be posted in here.

I much appreciate the offer but what could u do if u haven´t the device or do u own it ?
Since my CM2-Infinity-box doesn´t work (usually I work with Miracle Box but it´s not compatible ...well the Tablet has to be rooted to read the firmware..), and literally tried all rooting-apps and progs, this device is really stubborn!

I own this device, thats what i told you

Very well. ?
Actually, just the stock-recovery is needed to finally start to compile it. Have u been able to extract the recovery or maybe the whole ROM ? ?

Well, to bad but I guessed so, since this device is atm not rootable. :/
I tried every single Flash-Box like MB, Infinity, Aladdin, Falcon etc pp.. any Rooting-App (APK & PC- based), almost a dozen flash-tools like ADT, AOS-flasher, Ultimate Backup-tool etc...and several command prompts via ADB&Fastboot.
Really Nothing helped to get a nandroid- or even a dumb ROM. From which I could extract the stock recovery.
Nevermind, I will try alil more with Holo- & Heliumbackup, which surely wont work but who knows, rite ??
I'm patient and as soon as I've found a solution I'll share it here immediately.
As any other user is welcome to do so, too.

I´ve managed to extract the stock-recovery via an OTA-update which came from Firmware Finder from Team MT.
U ´ll find the recovery on G-Drive. The "oldRECOVERY.img" is the extracted stock-recovery from the original BAH-L09C100B018 firmware!
So, since I´ve updated the Tablet, the only "RECOVERY.img"-named file is from the newest firmware which is L09C100B021!
If u wanna update to ...021, via the Firmware Finder-App, u need

Be aside your tablet
and watch this video before u start

Yup, unlocked the BL from day 1. It´s the same procedure for all HUAWEI devices.
Just go here, login or register, confirm the unlocking agreement and put all device infos into the blank fields.
U´ll immediatley get an unlock code, which u have to enter via fastboot command prompts (recommended):
fastboot devices
fastboot oem unlock-go 1234567890123456 <- (this number is an example, u´ll have to put ur code there instead)
fastboot reboot
From now on an unlocked bootloader message will appear every time u start ur device. Just press power shortly to boot then. (It´s also written in the text aswell)
P.S.
Before u try to unlock: Don´t forget to enable USB-debugging in the Engineertool (tap 7 times on "build" in the settings-menue) and "allow OEM unlocking".

Ok cheers, I looked on the emui site and was nothing under their tablet menu only phones on the unlock bootloader page, on Nexus you just enable usb-debugging and click the OEM unlock in settings and fastboot flashing unlock in terminal. Sony uses a custom tool and HTC via their website I had a few phones in the past and built roms etc this my first Huawei device apart from my Nexus 6p Huawei help build with Google. I take it this device no official forum atm only the Kirin version.

Ya, HUAWEI has a quite faire unlock policy.
Important: There's an unlock bug sometimes. Be sure to have the Original firmware on ur device. (No updated ROM)
Have fun.

It's on latest official that came with device, I take it there is no twrp or anything out for this device ATM?

Just check a view posts above. I've described how to get the newest FW.
So if the factory ROM-version is installed, unlock the BL and after then update ur ROM. Jfi.
BTW_
Atm there's no custom recovery available for the M3 Lite Versions. U have to compile it by urself or make a request on Hovatek.com

I'm not bothered about updating the firmware ATM more so custom recovery but will look into it after my holiday.

I have requested official forum for this device and looks to be accepted so hopefully get some development going for this device soon...

There seems to be no way to retrieve the unlock code for Wifi-only tablets from the official Huawei site, as it demands the IMEI which is obviously missing.
I have contacted Huawei support with the product ID and serial number of my M3 Lite 10. One day later I have received the unlock code. I think that having been polite has helped

Storage question
Hello,
First of all: sorry, if the question is 'noobish', but as a matter of fact I am noob as far as android is concerned
I just bought this tablet for my son (LTE version), and I was quite surprised to find out that I can't move the installed applications to SD card.
Are there any hints and tips on how to take advantage of the big SD card, so my son's game data would not have to be stored in the internal memory?
The only default option is to change the memory from internal to SD, after the tablet restarts. But I assume it uses then only the SD card, and I am looking for a solution I remember from Samsung phone, where I could choose certain apps to move from internal memory to SD.
Another question, just by the way, is following: when I install an apk file from the SD card, during the installation process every few seconds I get a pop-up saying the application is not responding (although the installation is in progress). Any way to disable those annoying pop-ups?
I'd appreciate any feedback

You forgot to tell us what are these "testpoints" and where are they located, depending on the phone model.

You have NRD90M test-keys on Build Number ?

Hi friend heres a picture of testpoints location:
i dont know what testpoints are the only thing i know is that when you make a ''Bridge'' with the cable on both testpoints the PC will detect your hardbricked mate 9, if your mate 9 isn't hardbricked and its detected by the computer its not necessary to use testpoints.
watch this, so you will understand what i mean with make a bridge between 1st and 2nd testpoint

Excellent, all you have to do is:
go to HCU client> Enable Manufacture mode(dial *#*#2846579#*#*)>Repair UMTS tab> Country option (you have to check it)> then type ''EU'' and click REPAIR
I hope you still have time in HCU client friend i will be looking if you need something before your 72 hours ends.

OK, now i got it. It seems that you are forcing the CPU info BOOTROM mode, which allows a direct USB-SERIAL upload of the XLOADER into CPU SRAM, which initializes the SDRAM and loads FASTBOOT info SDRAM. After that you just use FASTBOOT for flashing the stock firmware.

yes i think, but it didnt worked with fastboot for me, i used DC-phoenix, it seems like with DC-phoenix you cand do whatever you want even if your bootloader is blocked, (when your mate 9 is hardbricked you cant open fastboot, DC-phoenix install fastboot, recovery mode and update mode with the factory firmware i uploader)
DC-phoenix bypass the update verification.

This is true, but the most critical information you have provided is about shortening the testpins.
This is the same as shortening 'Pin 1-2' in this document
https://github.com/96boards-hikey/tools-images-hikey960/blob/master/README-technical.md
to flash the partition table,xloader and fastboot.

i dont know im just giving the way how i fixed my hardbricked mate 9 using testpoints i dont know what testpoints are the only thing i know is that it helped to fix my phone

I managed to brick one of my Mate 9s earlier today. It was a pain to get into (it's hard to get between the display and the case), but it's nice that there's still a way to recover.
That's what I get for trying to repair the seemingly dead cell modem. Hopefully it'll work when this all finishes.

Can you tell about your experience with the opened Mate 9 ?
I don't want to open mine without a good reason (happily running LineageOS 15 now).
Mate 9 does not have the serial console on UART5 or 6, the board_id is different,
but it is still interesting to knowif the hikey960 ramloader can start fastboot.

I'm not sure what loader was used, though my gut says it is the HiKey loader.
In any case, the biggest issue is getting the back separated from the rest of it. I've got an iFixit toolkit here which had enough to get into it (though I ended up using a 1mm flathead bit to remove the screws at the bottom since I didn't have a T2). It took me about 15 minutes to get the back off because it's pretty firmly attached and there aren't really any open spots around the edge to get tools into. The plastic opening tool and guitar picks included were helpful, though I also ended up making use of a hair clip to actually finish popping it up.
You do need to be careful taking the back off once you've got it separated, there is a flex cable attached to it with the flash, fingerprint reader, and power/volume controls.
From there, I disconnected the battery, shorted out the specified test points, and it showed up for downloading fastboot.
---------- Post added at 12:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:13 AM ----------
Also, if you do end up having to follow this method to restore, you'll probably want to do it on a disposable install of Windows. The Windows drivers specified in the OP are unsigned, and the DC Phoenix package gets flagged by Windows Defender as a trojan.
(Not to mention that you _must_ restore the serial numbers and IMEIs, as they get wiped out in the process. The phone will come back up with a serial number of 0123456789ABCDEF and a pair of 000000000000000 IMEI numbers.)
In the end, it does work, but going through this process on any system that you don't think of as disposable is possibly asking for trouble.

It works just perfect... Thanks you all... If any of you Guys need help Just write

i paid $5 dollars in a phone repair store to open my mate 9, but im in El Salvador i dont know in USA, i hope you get to open your phone guys and fix it succesfully

about drivers turn off the driver signature verification from ''start up settings'' you can get there on ''advanced start'' on windows 10 and DC-phoenix is not a trojan

Mi Note 10 Pro Hard Brick

(First of all sorry for my English, I'm from Mexico)
Hello Friends, this is my first post, however, I have always used this forum as a guide along the phones I have had.
A few days ago I made a Hard Brick to my Mi Note 10 Pro, this while trying to load the Xiaomi EU Rom. I have seen many tutorials where they indicate how to revive it, without success since most are focused on the phone turning on in Fastboot mode, mine does not turn on in any way
I managed to make the phone recognize the PC in EDL mode but when flashing in Mi Tools it asks for a My account, when entering it the software tells me that my account is not authorized to carry out that transaction.

Fastboot is an Android protocol that allows you to modify the filesystem through a USB connection to the smartphone, however, in my case it does not enter that mode, only EDL

i'm sorry but never happened to me... did u tried mi flash to flash something? does mi flash recognize your mi note 10 in edl mode?

Yes, I already tried Mi Flash, but it seems that you need an authorized account, here is the image of the software:

You could try QFIL (Qualcomm Flash Image Loader). I personally haven't needed to use it but it's designed to work with all Qualcomm Android devices.
Some info links

did a quick research and found these:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-5-pro/how-to/fix-arb-bricked-device-qfil-t3841780
patched version of mi flash to bypass authorization, but for redmi note 5 - check the thread if it works for other models too
https://in.c.mi.com/thread-1571278-1-1.html
people are requesting authorization there, do not know if they ever succeed but maybe it is worth to try

It seems to work, I have been trying for several hours to find the right .mbl for the MI CC9 Pro without success, I will continue searching and inform you.
Thank you for the support!

It looks like Mi Tools need to bind your computer to your device in order to give you authorization, i think you need to ask for authorization in the Official Xiaomi Support Forums.

You need to download a fastboot ROM, I checked and they were all there although in the video there is only one XML file but in the MIUI fastboot ROM there are 5 but I was able to load them into QFIL so I think it would not be a problem.
Have a look here you will find all the tucana ROMs
https://t.me/s/MIUIUpdatesTracker?q=#tucana
The last fastboot ROM was 11.0.9.0. you will need to extract the .tgz file which will give you a .tar file which you need to then extract again to get the files needed.

Yes, in fact I tried all the xml files and their possible combinations without success.
The file "programmer patch", in this case comes in extension .elf and in the videos that I have seen is extension .mbn, Additional the first xml that is loaded is also called rawprogram.xml in the firmware for my Note 10 there are none file named like that.
I will keep searching and if I find something, I will post it for users who have this problem in the future
this is the error that gives me in all cases

.elf and .mbl are both supported by QFIL so should be fine. I have 6 .XML, rawprogram0.xml to rawprogram5.xml. When I press the load XML button I can click and drag and select them all at once. It then prompts me to load the patch.xml once again patch0.xml to patch5.xml and drag and select all. They should now all appear in the Rawprogram and Patch window. Unfortunately I can't get into EDL mode to try flashing but it looks like you are already in EDL. All the best.

Well, after many days of searching without solution, I decided to take it to the technical service, who flashed it in EDL mode with the UFT box.
The cell phone is walking and without any anomaly.
Thank you all for your valuable help.

I am having the exact issue in attempt to update the rom through fastboot. My tucana is no more responding to charging, pwr + Vol combination, detection to laptop etc. I have tried making my own EDL cable and its working with K20 but not with Tucana.

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.

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).

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 :/
