Recently I bought 2 phones.
I added both to the same account and successfully unlocked the first one.
In order to unlock another one I have to wait 30 days.
I could try to create another mi account to unlock the second device, but I am afraid that it would permanently prevent me from unlocking it.
Please, let me know what do you think. Do I really have to wait that long?

The best way is to write down your current mi account username n' password and remove it from your device, reboot.
Next, make another one and request Xiaomi to get permissions for unlocking. Or you'll have to wait 30 days with the current one as you explained.

Could you confirm that removing the mi account from the device and reapplying for unlock permission with the new one is safe?
I have already tried to unlock my device and I am afraid that it would be blacklisted for the unlock on xiaomi server if used with another account.

Nah. You can make new one and reapply for permissions.
How to remove the mi account from the device?
I tried to reset device to default, but on the first boot it is back to the way it was before.
If anyone has done it, please share your experience.

We have 3 devices which would mean waiting for 15+30+30 days I can create 3 accounts for reducing the complete waiting time to 15 days in parallel. But this seems to require 3 SIM-Cards as well while I only have one. Otherwise the unlock tool says "Your account isn't associated with a phone number." Now that I attached my SIM-Card to the 2nd Mi Account and starting the next 15 days waiting period, the number was removed from the first one and I'm not sure if I can re-migrate the number back to the 1st account later without starting another 15 or 30 days.
This is very annoying, as I can't wait several month before using the devices with our Custom Rom.
Apparently I have bought Redmi 5 plus (MPEG7) which was locked with Mi Account or what. The phone works normally, but I cannot add my Xiaomi Account because it gives me some error I don´t remember now.
Tried to update the firmware manually, didn´t help. So I decided to do factory reset, and then, soon after the set up screen I connecet to wifi, my Xiaomi got locked. It says I need to sign in on account which was previously been there.
The guy who sold me this phone, aware me of this, I should not do factory reset because this will happen, but I thought If there is no Mi Account on this phone I am good to go.
Luckily I found local repair shop who helped me to revive this phone by bypassing Mi Account somehow. I can use it with my Gmail account and I still can´t add my Xiaomi Mi Account.
So here goes my question now, how much I can do about that here. Unlocking bootloader and installing custom recovery would help me here. But the thing is I can´t enter my Mi Account on my phone, so that means no unlocking bootloader for me, at least nothing officially.
So my questions goes. Is there any way to unlock bootloader without having MI Account on the phone?
And before I forgot, if I don´t unlock the bootloader, and the phone stay in the same condition, will my phone lock itself again after I update it to MIUI 11, once when the update is available?
For now it is on the latest MIUI available, 10.2 Stable, OEGMIXM
Thanks in advance
Similar problem
Hello!
I have a problem similar to this. And I've been looking for some answers on that. With the current state of the device, I have how to unlock the bootloader, and then install a custom recovery and rom? So far I have not found any answer that is favorable to me. Other than paying for the service.

As far I have did some further research, unfortunately for us there is no solution to this. Basically the phone is connected with the Mi Cloud servers. As there is no alternative to unlock the bootloader, other than the official way, if in any case we got to sign in our account on the phone, the phone will lock itself eventually.
The only solution is the person who owned the phone have to remove the phone from the Mi Cloud service.
I hope at least we will get MIUI 11 and the update will not lock our device again.

Hello!
I am also getting help to solve the problem. But, it has been 25 days that after sending some photos of the device screens nothing happened regarding the unlock. That is, it remains blocked. I tried help from S-Unlock but showed no interest in solving the problem. I need to find another company or someone to unlock the device next to the server. Feel free to help me if you want.

Hello everyone.
Following is the list of events:
1. Got the China K20 Pro with China Rom.
2. Unlocked the bootloader the normal way.
3. Flashed Indian Rom but accidentally left "Clean and lock" checked.
4. Phone was not booting because it said "This version of MIUI cant be used etc".
5. Tried to recover with MIAssist .
6. Now phone says "System has been destroyed" .
Now when I try to unlock it again it Mi Unlock tool says ""Wait 30 days"
I just want to ask the community.
QUESTION : Will I be able to unlock this phone again after 30 days using the same account I used the first time?
DID MY ACCOUNT REMAIN BINDED TO THE PHONE AFTER THE UNLOCK?
I want to unlock it and flash it with Mi Flash tool.
Thank you for reading.

Do you think I can unlock the phone with the same account after 30 days? Or will I get the "You phone is not bound to this phone " error

In theory you should be OK to unlock the phone, otherwise at this point, you would get that error now and not see the wait 30 days to unlock message.
However those people that have done the same as you and posted on here have used the test point method to boot into EDL mode and then flash via an authorised account. I'm not aware that anyway has had the patience to wait the 30 days to see if they can unlock.

I thought so too but I checked it with another K20 and it still gave the message"Try again after 30 days" which makes me think that it might not unlock my phone after 30 days

I have exactly the same experience with your device last 2 months ago. I just got lucky because it was last days of the month 29th day. Tried to unlock again the on the 1st day of the the next month and unlocking bootloader was successful.
You can still unlock it using the same mi account.
Flashed again indian ROM thru fastboot but just choose clean all.

YES!
1. It was already binded with the mi account the first time i flashed it and experience bricked. No option to boot the system.
2. Unlock again same account. Successfully unlocked bootloader.
3. Flashed again (clean all only) with indian ROM, phone successfully booted normally.

That message is just because you can only unlock one phone a month with a standard MIUI account.
Because you've already unlocked a phone this month you'll see that message for any phone you try and unlock before 1st November

For your case yes.
As mentioned above also by other senior member.
If you flashed it and bricked it this October then By November try to unlock it again and hopefully unlocking will be successfull. Then flash again with your preferred rom.

For me also this is happened two days before you need to wait for 30 days or you need to EDL testpoint method. I fixed by EDL testpoint method there is one Russian guy with authorized MI account he did it for $15.

Actually after the bootloader unlock I never signed in with any Mi account. What I mean to say is that after that one time I never messed with the Mi account at all.
And I realllllllyyy dont want to disassemble my new phone . So im gonna take the chance
Ok.. so this is what happened to me some days ago..
•Use old miUnlock tool(to bypass 30days timer)
• Use "MiFlash tool pro" to flash firmware. (you don't need to go in EDL mode because it flashes from fastboot mode.)
Keep in mind do not select 'Clean and lock again' xD

I tried a alot but could not bypass 30 days.
Which version did you use?
Hello Everyone,
I bough this Redmi Note 10 with screen broken, so I replaced the screen for an OLED new one, I wiped out the data and now I`m getting this Mi Account Lock screen.
The guy who sold the phone to me has deleted this account a long time ago, so I don`t have more access to this. I tried out a lot of methods to bypass and/or remove this lock screen but none of them worked.
So I`m thinking the best solution for this is to Unlock the bootloader and flash a Custom ROM like Pixel Experience for example.
What do you think about it ? Is it possible to unlock it using EDL mode or something like that ?
I think the best course of action for you will be to unlock the bootloader
Ok, So I'm gonna try it. Do you have any idea of how to do it within the EDL mode in this phone ?
Cause I've tried to search for it, and I found it, but only for other xiaomi phones.
There is only one way to unlock bootlader for all Xiaomi phones and it requires MI Unlock software (there is an unofficial alternative for Linux but it requires a bit more of work).
As far as I know to unlock bootloader the phone needs to be previuosly associated to your Mi account, so I'm not sure how you are going to do that.

I'm a Linux user so I think I can go ahead with this tool. What tool is this ?
It's just an unofficial version that runs on Linux, you still need the phone to be associated to a Mi account.
This is the one I used

That protection is there for a reason, even if you claim you're the legit owner.
No, you can't unlock if you can't boot to the system.
Best and legit way is to reset the password first in the Mi Account from i.mi.com, use any email/phone number that was used to register the account. Then remove the device from that account. Connect the device to wifi and use the new password to unlock the phone.
I don't think even local Xiaomi service center would agree to reset the phone unless you bring the legit invoice from the first purchase.
I agree with x3r0.13urn. Just in other words: If the previous owner doesn't give you access to unlock the bootloader, you can only use the phone for spare parts (Mi bill or proof of purchase with IMEI marked).

If what the guy said is true, should not the phone be automatically removed from that account?
I don't really know since I never tried.
I don't think so. Deleting the entire account is not that easy, if he has a registered device, it's not even possible.
He does not remember his login details or is no longer willing to do anything about it.
Hi,

Hi
I want to unlock my Pocophone F1. I enabled developer options, activated OEM unlocking, USB debugging and created an xiaomi account. However, I have a problem, when trying to add the account to mi unlock status. I keep getting the error: Couldn't add. Device does not exist in the server
When trying to use the mi unlock tool, I get the message to add my account to mi unlock status when I'm at 99% which I can't due to the error above. Tried serveral versions I found.
I have a sim card inserted, tried logging out and back, even factory-resetted the phone but still getting the error. Already waiting since 3 days. Does it help to wait a few days more or is this just waisted time?
My Pocophone F1 is brandnew. Could this be an issue?
Thanks.

Yes, but there isn't really much to follow because I can't get past step 5.
Well, that's kind of frustrating.
I've tried pretty much everything with no success. I wrote to Xiaomi customer service and they basically told me that they will not help me because unlocking the bootloader is not a typical customer service (I thought unlocking the bootloader is a feature of this phone as they provide an official way and tool for it). They also told me not to do that for security reasons and that I will void my warranty (although that's not true afaik - I don't care about the warranty anyway). I don't know if I'm allowed to post the content of the mail, but there isn't any other useful information in it anyway.
I'll try again occasionally over the next two weeks or so and then just sell it. Unfortunately, the back of the phone has a very small, almost not noticable scratch, so I don't think I can return it to the store where I bought it (the phone is only a week old).
Too bad, I really like the hardware, but the phone is unusable for me with a locked bootloader. It's like buying a TV, but the TV only has one channel and you're not allowed to change the channel. Well, it's not really the same, but you get the point.
This was the first and last time I bought a Xiaomi phone.
Cheers
