[Help] Mi Account Password Lost - Device Lock - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers

Hi, I got this device from someone and he forgot what was his mi account password, its email or number and everything. So he couldn't restore to factory setting before giving it to me.
I unlocked bootloader, fastboot flashed stable miui 8.0.1.0 and when I boot up I cannot pass mi account password page which says "the device is locked, password to unlock". It appears he had "find my device" option on in his mi account and now device is locked.
I tried everything almost i.e. wipe data, fastboot wipe, complete wipe, customer support and service center but I cannot get pass that page. Only option was to install any other rom then miui to get device running. But I need miui (specially for VoLTE) so if anyone know any solution?
Like.. I can flash SuperSu and before getting to mi account page I can Go to Google Now and from there I can install system app remover. I tried to remove "mi account" system but didn't work, I removed every system app having mi or xiaomi written but ended with a dead device when reboot.
Please help

Yes, first try was edl flash.
Official rom CM13 working with Volte?

I dont think there is any other way besides contacting mi support. Try forgot password or something like that if its possible to do so. But the best option is to use a custom rom instead.

You are lost bro.
Whatever ROM you flash the Mi account credentials will be stored into the device that will not be wiped even if you flash the fastboot ROM.
But you can still use the phone be using any ROM other than MIUI and MIUI based ROMs (like Epic ROM).

I can see from search that there are lot of people facing same issue, yet no possible solution.
I did go to support and they just tell me to wipe data and flash fastboot. I told them it didnt worked but they keep saying its the only solution.
Is there any way I can get mi account email or number?? Support is not telling me that.

try fast boot rom

How would anyone know that it's your device (or ur uncle whatever) or if it's a stolen one? There is that security measure (akin to iOS cloud lock) so that stolen devices can't be used by scumbag thieves. I'm not saying you are thief but who knows?

For volte, you can use cm14 by @Santhosh M....
It has some bugs but since android 7 is new, it's common...

considering you can unlock the bootloader, ever think of erasing the config file via fastboot?

[solved] Need help to recover my device from a deleted mi account (Redmi Note 3)

I had deleted my mi account yesterday following the disappointment to unlock bootloader by official method but forgot to delink my Redmi Note 3 device from it. After flashing the Global Developer version of ROM, I get this message on screen that the device is associated with another mi account 162*****168. I'm consistently being asked to enter the password if I connect to a network which ultimately errors out saying "Couldn't verify mi account ID. Invalid username or password".
Now the question lies that is it possible to remove the device from a deleted mi account?
I'm ready to flash any other custom ROM in it but my concern is that the bootloader is still locked and I can't bypass the mi account setup after flashing another mi ROM.
Is there anyway to resolve such issues? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Solution: Flash MIUI v7.2.3.0 using mi flash tool (flash all) to bypass the mi account setup after flashing.
However if you update to MIUI 8, again the device will be locked.
Suggestion: Better switch to a custom ROM :good:

Had to flash MIUI v7.2.3.0 (downgrade required) using mi flash tool and it didn't prompt me to go through the mi Account setup.

I did the same. The whole security thing in Xiaomi phones damages the brand. If you implement such a thing do it right. The way they did it sucks a lot.

Hi! I have Kate model with exactly the same issue as you. Do you think using this method with LineageOS will be enough to solve the issue? Using custom ROM is fine for me:
Code:

Or do you recommend flashing MIUI 7 first?

Sorry dude. I don't have the device now. But I would suggest you to move to miui 7 first, unlock bootloader and then switch to LineageOS.

Redmi Note 3 Pro SE (Kate) - can not bind device to account

I flashed my phone with kate_global_images_7.5.19_20170519.0000.00_6.0_global in order to unlock the bootloader via mi unlock. The phone has successfully connected to mi cloud and can be located on the i.mi.com website. If I go into developer options and tap on the button to bind the phone to my account for unlocking it just keeps telling me to try again in another couple of minutes. This seems to be a really common problem and I haven't been able to find a solution. Any ideas? Thanks.
Same here. Been waiting for 5 days now after getting permission. Still fails to bind. This whole official unlock way is a total POS. It even says after you are granted permission you can unlock right away but that's not true at all. I also have SE and dev rom btw.
maybe try to flash miui 8 via fastboot..
i used fastboot rom miui 8 , miflash (not xiaomiflash) ver 2016, and unlock ver 1.1..

MIUI 8 what? The dev rom 7.x is MIUI 8. Do you mean dev or stable? I was on MIUI 8 stable before but it didn't help.
my issues, evrytime i flashed miui rom, my imei isn't showing up (i need to official unlock to flash lastest los)
i tried some rom dev 7.x.x.x , but i cant login mi account via wifi.
then, i flashed this rom with miflash 2016 (mine is kenzo)
http://en.miui.com/thread-439892-1-1.html
and it works, i can unlock my phone without imei..

I think the "can not bind" problem is specific to Kate. The IMEI problem with your Kenzo phone is probably a separate issue.

Yes i know.first you use the older version miui to unlock the bootloader.after that just reflash to latest dev rom.make sure you checked CLEAN ALL.it will not lock your bootloader.

Doesn't work - complains that the deivice isn't bound to the account
There is no point trying anything. Nothing works. I have a 3 month long email chain with xiaomi support, which ended by them saying I should contact the direct seller. Basically they washed their hands. I ended up sending my device to a guy, who has a xiaomi service licence, and he managed to unlock it officially with his code.
If you cannot bind your account and device for two weeks with multiple tries, you should just give up on the "mainstream" unlock procedure. It will never work, and the only thing that comes out of it is slowly bulding rage.
It's not worth it.

Hi guys hope you are safe.......
So i have been trying to flash a custom recovery to my mido.Since MIUI replaces the custom one with stock recovery after booting we have to boot to recovery from fastboot(right?).But the sad thing is my power button is not working.So is there any other way to boot to recovery from fastboot other than fastboot boot recovery.img.
I've learnt that fastboot boot doesnt work for new MIUI(tried it).So..Have i got any hope or will i have to wait until the lockdown is over to get my power button fixed.
Thanks

Hello Sir,
I am using Redmi Note 4 (nikel) MiUi 10.2, Android ver 6.0, Bootloader unlocked and install twrp. Yesterday, I am trying to upgrade from recovery method. In this case, before install firmware I was backup Boot, System, and Data. After backup I was wipe Dalvik/ART cache, System, Data, Cache, Cust. Than I was installed firmware and successfully upgrade. Than rebooted deviec. But my device looped in boot.
Because I was wiped cust partition without backup. If any one using same device redmi note 4 nikel and installed twrp please backup this cust patition and upload to restore. I cant flash from fastboot because I can't use PC. So this is only way to recovery. Can anyone help me please.

need MI account and Mi cloud apk, after debloat

Hi there
I have debloated my poco, and I want to unlock it,
since I have debloated it I am stuck
and solutions? or somebody provides me with the apks?
i am affraid these are core previlage apps and if you install them as thirdparty app it may not function properly since they won't get system access! nor they are designed to ASK Magisk for one!
you need to go back and ask the script developer to exclude these apps!
or I think i saw this application which can customize fastboot rom and remove/add features /apps

miflash can flash fastboot rom even when boot is locked! you don't have to unlock the boot!
however need to know more what sort of error you are faching?
the recovery ROM is 1.7gb where FB rom is usualy2.6gb
are you flashing the correct rom?

Dumbest thing you can do to Poco f1 - It's stuck!

Hello guls and guys,
I had Poco with TWRP.
Accidentally, I have wiped the system from TWRP.
Then I tried to install custom ROM with TWRP and forgot to include bypass unlocker.
Now, I don't have TWRP on my poco, but have MIUI which is locked.
Btw, I can get into the fastboot mode.
P.S. Bootloades is unlocked.
P.S.S while I am trying to install from with miflash tool:
error: not catch checkpoint (\$fastboot -s .* lock)
I have such an error.
Is there any solution to get out from here?
I will appreciate any of your advice.
how about booting with adb with command fastboot boot twrp. img
So you can load temporary twrp
Why don't you flash twrp again if your bootloader is unlocked and you can access fastboot
Thank you guys for your suggestions.
I have installed twrp and it worked.
But the problem that I have now is quite different.
Phone works very well with Pixel experience ROM, but when I try to install MIUI official ROMS, it says that phone its connected to mi account and so, couldn't go through MIUI.
What can I do?
