How to unlock bootloader on Xiaomi phone

If earlier, before unlocking the bootloader on Xiaomi, you had to contact support and wait for approval for at least several days, now there is no need for this.

Connecting MI account to phone

First of all, you need to create an account. From it you can control all existing Xiaomi gadgets. Essentially, this is an analogue of a Google account, but with its own characteristics that need to be taken into account. This is done in different ways:

The easiest way is to go into your phone settings and find the “Account” tab. Next, click “MI account”, select the option to create using email and fill out all the required fields. Next, you need to confirm your mailbox, after which the account is ready to use. The email will serve as your login when logging in in the future.
Instead of email, you can also use a phone number, but it is worth remembering that in this case you will have to use the number, otherwise you will not be able to enter your profile. You need to enter it in international format, then allow access to the smartphone’s memory, after which you can use your account.
From your computer, go to the link https://account.xiaomi.com/, where you can find the “Create account” button and click on it. Fill in all fields (it is better to indicate accurate data that corresponds to reality). Select an identification option - via email address or phone number. After registration, enter additional information in your profile.

Any of the options allows you to create an account in a matter of minutes. The main thing is to choose the most convenient verification method and provide up-to-date information. There are many advantages - from 5 GB of cloud storage (more is possible for an additional fee) to the ability to search for a device if it is lost or stolen. This will also allow you to install the Mi Flash Unlock program to unlock the bootloader.

Linking an account to a device

The process is similar for all devices, be it Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 or any other model, even if it was released several years ago. To avoid problems, you need to follow the developer's recommendations:

First of all, log out of your Mi account to avoid conflicts during verification and verification.
Be sure to switch to mobile Internet. This cannot be done via Wi-Fi due to restrictions from the device manufacturer.
Next, you need to go to the “About phone” tab and click on the “MIUI Version” line 7 times in a row. After that, go to the main settings page and enter the “For Developers” tab located in the advanced settings.
Find and click “Mi Unlock Status”. A confirmation request will appear. You need to give your consent and then click on the “Link your account to device” tab.
The device will ask you to log into the previously created profile. If everything is normal, the connection will occur automatically and a notification will appear on the screen.
After this, you need to wait from 7 to 30 days. Dates may vary, so information is provided on screen.

Important!
Sometimes developers can reduce or increase the wait time, so it makes sense to check this point from time to time.

During this period you cannot move on to the next point. This is very important, since if the deadlines are violated, the profile may simply be blocked or error messages will constantly pop up.

Downloading the Mi Flash Unlock program

If the waiting period has passed, you can download a program to remove blocking restrictions. Everything is standard here too. It doesn't matter what model you have: Xiaomi Redmi 5 Plus or a more advanced version, the process always looks the same:

Follow the link https://en.miui.com/unlock/ and download the archive to your computer. It is better to take it from the official website in order to be guaranteed to receive the application without viruses.
Next, unpack the archived data. If there is no program, download any option.
The files can be left on any computer drive, but experts recommend placing them in the root directory of the system drive.

The process is simple and easy to understand, even if you have no experience. The main thing is to download the archive from a reliable site and not trust dubious portals.

Launch MiFlash

The most important thing is to work with administrator rights, otherwise you won’t be able to do anything. You need to figure out how to do this taking into account your OS. There is a lot of information, but it is not difficult to find simple instructions.

Launch the MiFlash program. Usually it looks like a tab with inscriptions. They can be in Chinese, English or Russian if the phone is localized. A window will pop up at the top indicating a disclaimer. You need to agree and click the appropriate button (it's on the left). Don't forget to check first whether the bootloader is unlocked or not. Often people do not wait the required time, and this causes problems.

Login

After the disclaimer, a screen will appear with a form to enter your account information. You need to fill it out, the main thing is not to mix anything up. If a notification pops up stating that the password or login was entered incorrectly, repeat the procedure and make sure that everything was done correctly.

If the data is entered correctly, the program will either open or a tab will pop up indicating that unlock permission is being checked. It can hang for up to 10 minutes: it all depends on the speed of the Internet and the processes on the developer’s server.

Connecting your phone to your computer

To connect your Xiaomi phone and connect it with Mi Flash Unlock, you must first turn it off.

To start the fastboot, you need to simultaneously hold down the power button and the volume down button. After the phone has turned on in the desired mode, connect it to the computer via a wire.

Important!
Sometimes you can’t turn on fastboot the first time, there’s nothing wrong with that. The main thing is to hold down the buttons at the same time and hold for several seconds.

Unlock process

It is not difficult to understand how to unlock Xiaomi yourself. The program downloaded at the request “Unlock Your Mi Device” and installed on the computer after it sees the connected device will begin to automatically check. A window pops up on the screen displaying progress as a percentage.

If everything went well, a notification indicating the successful completion of the process will appear. The check may take 30 seconds. and more: everything depends on the Internet connection. If all points are met, the system will work as expected.

Unlocking Mi account via phone.

In this method, permission is issued to everyone and there is no need to receive anything. Suitable for stable and development firmware. We link the account to the device and log into it.

In the smartphone settings, we find the inscription “ about phone ”. Click on the MIUI version until you become a developer.

Click on additional settings and enable factory unlocking OEM unlocking . Go to Mi Unlock and select (Add an account and device), (Link device to account).

After these actions, a time report will begin. In general, since 2016 Mi Unlock Status on all devices of this company . Therefore, it makes working with it much easier. However, there are exceptions to the rule, you have to update the firmware to the latest version.

Sometimes, people remove all codes, finger recognition, and facial recognition. To successfully complete the procedure, unlocking the Mi account is successful.

On the Computer it is necessary to disable all firewalls and antiviruses, they can block it.

If you can’t log into your mi account, even though you enter everything correctly. First of all, use the trick and request a password recovery. When the code arrives and you enter it, you will be able to log in without any problems.

If your unlocking stops at 50% and then an error appears. Type (Couldn't verify device) data not received. Solution to the problem.

It is not possible to verify the phone due to the country of manufacture.

We do the following: Find the VPN application in the Play Store and install it. We go in and change the country in it to China. In the settings, click (Add an account and device) and follow the instructions. On the computer, MI Unlock also launches with a Chinese VPN and everything is the same as it was done. This method is tested and exhibited by the American consumer. And it really helps. You can check whether the VPN has changed to Chinese using a browser. Enter the site https://vpnmonster.ru/ip/. The paradox is that it worked for one person in Latvian, but not for others. Find out by searching through working VPNs.

Test on different computers. Maybe it’s not unlocked due to Windows or some other problem.

Method 3.

Reasons for account blocking

So, you forgot your password, and when the phone reboots or, as almost always happens, changes the SIM card, it will ask you to log in to your account again. But it may not be yours, since the phone was purchased second-hand. This means that the SIM card that participated in the registration is not available to you. That is, you do not know the phone number or email address mentioned by the previous owner during registration, which means you do not have a login. Accordingly, you do not have a password. You have nothing.

Hard case. Due to the fact that simple unlocking methods will definitely not help you and you will have to go to great lengths.

The long road to improving smartphones produced by Xiaomi has led to a situation where strict binding to a Mi account has become an everyday reality. The account requires complete control from the owner of the phone. Just a few years ago, on the proprietary MIUI 7 shell, you could painlessly give up one account and move to another. Now, with the release of firmware versions 8 and 9, everything has become much more complicated.

The precautions taken by the world leader in the telephone industry, Apple, to protect against penetration into the secrets of the smartphone owner, have led to a situation where only its owner can unlock his phone in a simple way. This feature was immediately adopted by the Chinese flagship.

The point is also that Xiaomi itself is never the unilateral initiator of account blocking; the reason lies in you. In addition to the situations listed above, it is also possible to play games with your child’s phone; entering the password incorrectly leads to a similar result.

How to unlink your phone from your Mi account.

In most cases, this is done to hide all your data when selling the device. But it also happens because of forgotten account data, and many other cases.

Let's consider first if you have access to the input.

Go to the device settings. Next is my account, select your account in it. Click (Delete account from phone). Subsequently, it may request your phone id and password. The procedure takes several days. As a result, upon completion of unlinking, a notification will be sent to your email address or SMS.

If you don't have access to your MI account, unlinking is a little more difficult.

Before the operation, you should save all data on your PC. Since you will have to work with the device’s memory.

A master reset needs to be done. Performing a reset through the settings will not give us anything. Since the account cannot be erased. We do a reset through the Recovery menu - this is a built-in program in the mobile phone.

We take out all the cards and turn off the device. Hold the combination, turn on and increase the volume. Do not press until the Xiaomi sign appears, and release. We set the language that you understand. To confirm, click on power. We look for the inscription (Wipe and Reset), click on it, then on (Wipe All Data) and agree (yes). The interest will run, and the mobile will be cleared, along with the account. We reboot the device, and we see that the account is reset and the smartphone is ready for use.
