Got the unlock permission yesterday. I followed every method and suggestion that was floating around this forum before coming to write this thread.
I get the Current account is not bound to this device error.
Tried binding, I get the 86012 error.
Some people say wait for a couple of days, while there are people who are waiting for months and still failing to unlock.
Surprisingly there is no official post from Xiaomi if one should wait for a couple of days after getting the unlock permission.
I recently bought this device and I am at a loss here. I tried every possible solution out there. Except I haven't tried flashing a dev rom yet, but there are people who said you do not need a dev rom, just enable OEM unlocking from developer options and USB debugging and it does make sense. If the global ROM has the option for OEM unlocking then why do I need to flash a Dev ROM? Also where is the official post from Xiaomi which suggests that?
There are just people with their experiments and posting what helped them succeed. Is there anyone who has figured it out right? Help me understand what exactly am I missing here guys.
Edit: I also tried unlocking with lower versions of the unlock tool. Stucks at 50%. FlyVPN doesn't connect, and if it does, there's no internet connectivity, the websites won't load, internet won't work.
Hey, you're not alone bud.
Ive got my device unlocked after 15 days, 7 days after getting unlocking permissions.
Actually everyone faces this 50%stuck error with older version of mi unlock tool, with the new one everyone facing the error like 99% stuck or account not bound error.
What you have to do is just wait with the stable rom which your device shipped with, everytime you try to unlock your phone, you'll get failed for a Buncha reasons. The possible reason be like, account isn't bound yet, failed to verify device info, failed to locate device on i.mi.com etc..
So, when I got permissions, what I did was just do not rush to unlock my device, I know MIUI sucks but still, I got on pc after 2 days of permission then tried to unlock bootloader, it was failed with error failed to verify device information-50% stuck error. I too tried binding my mi account with the help of fly VPN but got the same error 86012 - Device not found.
Then, I just stopped trying to unlock my device every now and then, I've hit find my device option, enabled oem unlocking & USB debugging from dev settings, 5 days later, plugged in my device and hit unlock, it was successfully unlocked.
Eh, then you know TWRP+custom ROM'd it.
I suggest you to wait few more days, like 2-3 days, do not try to unlock your device in between, just wait.. 3 days later get on pc, use old unlock tool and try unlocking your phone. That's gonna works.
Again, do not try every now and then, give Xiaomi servers to sync up your device's details, as I read somewhere they update their server so slowly.

Use miflash to flash dev china and unlock it, after unlocked bootloader use fastboot flash method to combe back whatever rom you want
you can't unlock on Global ROM although the official guide says yes.
I tried it hundreds of times, changing this, changing that, and all failed
Just flash to China Dev ROM to unlock
I just tried 1 times and instant success

Did you tried to wipe cache from device before procceding to unlock?Did you used multiple accounts on this device?Be sure that you use the same account both device and on browser
I reset the mobile and tried only one account i have..
Have you logged in your miui account in the phone? Because the same thing happened to me, the phone needs to be logged in to your miui account, not only the computer program, but the phone also.
S i logged in and even downloaded one theme..
some people say it got solved by using the Redmi usb cable you got in your box. or using an england VPN.
This is a frustrating issue, I guess lot of people are facing this. I have got the permission few days back but am facing the same issue as OP. I have tried everything mentioned on this forum, MIUI forum and what not. I am currently on China Dev ROM, unfortunately it still does not work. One last thing which might be the actual issue is that even after getting permission from Xiaomi, it takes a few more days to sync this to their servers. I have read many people saying they gave up but when they tried after 5-6 days, it worked. So I am hoping it will work for me too in the next 5-6 days
I am too fed up of unlocking bootloader, i got the permision on starting of april still i cant unlock,.. now i am back global stable rom will try in few days.
On PC try this steps:
1.disable driver signature enforcement permanently
2.disable user account control
3.disable smart screen protection
4.disable any security solution like AV Suite,Firewall,even WIndows inbuilt firewall
5.check if your Windows Management Instrumentation service running
6.right click on MiUNLOCK exe and run as administrator
This is perhaps the most disturbing and irritating thing to have happened to me in my experience of rooting and owing Android smartphones. The process which seems simple is perhaps the most complicated and uncalled for. I have used phones form "Novice manufactures" to Super manufactures like Karbonn, Micromax, Samsung, HTC, Sony, LG, OnePlus. They all have been tricky but yet did the job as promised. Easiest was unlocking my Oneplus2, did it the very day i got my phone. HTC and Sony were tricky and a little complicated but once the process started, they were executed to perfection. I do not understand why Xioami had to screw up this big time. I got the permission but have tried everything possible; however, just not successful. Will wait for a while and get back to unlocking in a weeks time
i did got the permission yesterday tried on global stable rom its not happening will be flashing china stable rom and then moving to developer version via updater app, just wanted to confirm should i follow this guide http://en.miui.com/thread-235865-1-1.html
or is there any other way to go
i have 2 freakin accounts with unlock permissions tried each and every damn step out there on xda and miui forums tried 2 different computers still it says info on the device is different than the current account. god knows what on earth will unlock the bootloader
sorry to revive this old thread, but did you try after 5-6 days and did it actually work to unlock the bootloader with the official way?
This is the most irritating thing with Xiaomi. I've tried every guide and thread on MIUI forums but to no avail. Those idiots at MIUI forums are worthless. They only know to spam forums with "thank you" and "nice" instead of making productive discussion. Many people are facing the same problem with BL unlock and the administrators must be probably aware of the issue. What are they doing for so long? They should have released a new version of mi unlock tool already with the fix or whatever is the issue with their servers, I don't know. I just need to unlock my bootloader officially.
Have you guys checked if "fastboot" command works while in the fastbood mode? Try "fastbood devices" first, does it display the attached device successfully?
I had received the bootloader unlock permission for my kenzo on December 12th, but whenever I try to unlock, the notorious "Couldn't verify device" error appears. I've been repeatedly trying to unlock for the past few days, but in vain. I have only one Mi account, which received the unlock permission, and my device and laptop are logged into it. I have tried all of the following tips prescribed in various forums:
1. Tried signing in to i.mi.com and use find device service.
2. Disabled driver signature enforcement in my laptop.
3. Removed pattern/pin and fingerprint.
4. Bind Mi account for unlocking in developer options, but it shows some 86012 error.
5. Flashed MIUI 8 global developer rom 6.12.22 (currently using it).
6. Emailed Xiaomi India service, which advised me to take my phone to service centre!!
7. PM'ed some mods in MIUI forum about the issue.
8. Tried different versions of the MiUnlock app.
9. Tried doing it on different USB ports and different PC.
10. Patiently waited for many days. :crying:
I have all the necessary drivers installed in my laptop, and of course, I have enabled OEM unlocking and usb debugging in developer options.
So, after patiently waiting for 16 days after receiving unlock permission, I am ultimately about to give up on this. Is there anything else I can do to get my device unlocked?? (PLEASE DO NOT SUGGEST UNOFFICIAL METHOD).

Yea...good to know...for some users it gets unlocked without any hassle, even on global stable ROM...it just depends on whether your device details have been refreshed in xiaomi's servers...
Yeh...Global stable Rom can also be unlockable.
It's been 5 days but still no luck

It doesn't matter, just wait for 4-5 days without trying to unlock the phone and try after 4-5 days , your phone will be unlocked..
Older version dont work. Still binding time is too short. Any solution? This process is insane. Wait por 3 days to unlock, xiaomi sucks.
I have applied on mi official site for bootloader unlocking after 2 days i got some message from mi but i accidently deleted message without reading, its been about 1 or 2 weeks since the message,now when i try to unllock bootloader it stops at 50% and says different account on pc and phone and fails..
SO please If someone knows something about it, share it...... It wud be very helpful,

Yo, doesn't matter you still have the message or not.
You got the permissions and it's failing to unlock bootloader every time you try, right?
DL fly VPN from Playstore and run the app, choose shanghai server and go to additional settings > ki unlock status > you'll see an option like bound mi account, tap it and ignore if you get any errors.
Next, do no try everyday, just wait few days, like 5-7 days and try unlocking at the 5th day. Use latest unlock tool.
Every mi users who had unlocked their bootloader faced the same issue, heck even 21 days. I got mine unlocked after 10 days lol
So, do what I said and wait few days, you'll surely get your phone unlocked! :good:
UPDATE : Okay so i finally unlocked the bootloader finally. before the last try, i turned off the password/fingerprint lock and then it unlocked. everyone should try the same thing
I done every possible steps but nothing is happening! the bootloader unlock process always getting stuck at 99% and Account Bound error is coming on the PC and on the phone, "86012:*****" error showing on 'settings-additional settings-dev option-Mi Unlock status'.
I tried with 2 different Mi phone/account.
done with i.mi.com stuffs and find device, tried FlyVPN but there is no server of 'Shanghai"... etc!
Nothing is happeneing! I am a beta tester of MIUI 9 China, and see, i couldn't even unlock the bootloader yet! Wow! What a thing! Its been a week and so, still my bootloader is locked.
No help from Xiaomi.
I need a promising way to unlock. so help me.
See, I have unlocked three RN4 devices, none without the wait.
Had to wait 6-7 days for each one of them. There has been no luck for me in doing anything other than wait for 6-7 days after getting the permission.
But then, maybe something might work out for you.
The steps I tried or know of:
1. Being on the developer ROM is a must. Chances of unlocking bootloader from global stable MIUI are very slim.
2. Use old Mi Unlock tool. A quick google will land you there.
3. Don't change the accounts in the phone. You should be logged in with the account you got permission in.
4. Go to developer options and check "USB Debugging", "OEM Unlock" and one more option something sort of "USB Debugging Security".
5. Try to bind the account. It will yield a response with some code and Chinese text. Ignore it.
6. Use the original cable and use the ports on the back of the CPU.
7. Keep "Find my device" turned on. And log in to your account in your desktop and try locating your phone.
8. Now try unlocking.
I followed all the above steps I could find out from anywhere and I was able to do it.
In your case I do think you are either not in the developer build or you need to use the old Mi tool.

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
