Here's the full description of my problem.
I wanted to install a custom ROM, so I applied for permission to unlock. I obtained the permission about a month ago, and then the problems began.
First off, I'm not able to bind my account to my device under developer options. It shows error 80612 and some Chinese characters. When I try to unlock, it stops at 99%and says the account is not bound to device. I tried all the solutions listed on mi forums, but to no avail. The only solution left was to install developer ROM and try from there
Here comes the second problem. When I try to install it from updater app, it says I'm only allowed to install stable versions. So I tried to install via recovery. When I boot into recovery, just shows an image of phone and asks me to connect to PC suite. No options are shown, no way to navigate. I can only reboot by pressing power button. So I tried installing PC suite and connecting my phone, but the software refuses to recognise my phone, either says to connect phone via USB(which I did) or tells me to update phone to use suite (phone is on latest stable version)
This is like a roadblock to me. These many problems should not be existing in a ROM, especially when they claim to be developer friendly. It's almost like Xiaomi doesn't want people to unlock their phones. Please someone help me with this. Pics will be provided as requested.
Edit: I tired installing older versions of developer and even tried downgrading the stable version via updater app, but failed, showing error that i can't install anything other than stable and that i can't install older versions respectively
Bro firstly you have to install the developer ROM and yeah it shows the error that you can only install stable ROM
Solution = just download the oldest available developer ROM and then download the newest developer ROM
Flash the oldest zip first with the updater app the developer ROM will get flashed, boot it up but don't set it up completely. After you're in the system again go to the updater app then flash the newest developer ROM
Once all this is done setup all the necessary info on the newest beta build
Go to the MIUI forums , fill up all your info, next go to the MIUI forums on your windows PC and check that if all the info as you filled up in your device is there or not, if it's there then you're on the right track
Next check is the MI cloud services are activated or not, if they are active then go to MI cloud on your PC and just click on find device, if it exactly locates your device then you're all done.
The MIUI forums play a major role in unlocking the bootloader so make sure all your info is there and you browse then for quite a while.
Then just try to unlock your bootloader it'll surely work. ?
Attempting right away
Still the same error
You did all of the things that I wrote right
Got stopped at flashing the oldest developer ROM. It still shows the error that I can't install anything other than stable versions
Blocked at first step itself. Can't flash the older ROM too via updater app. Still shows the error that i can't install anything other than newer stable versions
You tried the oldest available global developer ROM right ?
Yes. I even tried downgrading the stable version. Even that didn't work
Bro try this - Update to the latest global stable ROM then test flashing the oldest global developer ROM . I hope it works for ya
That's what I did in the first step. I'm on the latest global stable. After your suggestion, I tired installing the oldest global developer. Same error
Ok I'll see what I can do to help you now cause your problem is getting pretty strange. ?

I have bought my kenzo from gearbest and now I can't even update using the updater app because when I try to install the global stable rom it says "Can't verify update"!!!
What shuold I do now?
I noticed that if I press volume down and powerbutton it goes into fastboot mode... but I don't know if my device is locked or not... please help me!
What rom is reported in settings - about phone - MIUI version.
See the reddit xiaomi wiki on how to flash official roms with locked bootloader using "Mi PC Suite" or "EDL / Download Mode".
It says: MIUI 7.4 stable 7.4.9.0 (LHOCNDD)
I had the same issue like you but I bought mine from aliexpress. Anyway what worked for me is applying for official bootloader unlocker then I put the phone in to recovery mode ( updater app 3 dots in top corner) .
On your pc you should install mi suit and It will recognize update.
It may delete your gapps it did it for me.
next step is unlocking bootloader through official app ( you may need to wait for approval sms)
Last step is installing the new software http://en.miui.com/a-234.html
I hope that helps
Your right it is a Vendor Rom.
http://en.miui.com/thread-310405-1-1.html
Thanks a lot!! :d
One of my phones came with the same 7.4.9.0 (LHOCNDD), but bootloader was unlocked. Check yours, perhaps you're lucky too
It's a vendor rom, use EDL mode to flash to miui rom. Follow the steps here. No need to unlock bootloader.
http://en.miui.com/thread-235865-1-1.html
mine had the same LHOCNDD (not global), I bought mine from aliexpess, Xiaomi authorized store- phone build date is 2016.7 so I think they come from Xiaomi like this I had to wait 2 weeks for them to get one in stock,
I wish Xiaomi would stop with these strange firmwares, they block OTA updates, have unlocked bootloaders and cause other issues -
why they don't just use the global firmware on en.miui.com is a mystery, it would probably prevent 50% of returns from people bricking their devices.
I have the same 7.4.9.0 LHOCNDD vendor ROM. Bootloader is already unlocked. I want to flash TWRP to use with custom ROM because I don't want MIUI. Which guide should I follow in flashing TWRP?
Hello I am from india and using redmi note 3 snapdragon with Miui global stable 8.1.1.0 [MHOMIDI] .
I got messege from mi that my account is verified now.
Overall...I did all things...to unlock my device officially.
But stuck on 50% ...could not verify device.
I did all things mentioned on each place of internet.
But failed .
1. Now I want to know clearly ...is it possible to unlock my device with global stable rom or not?
Because I do not want to loss my data again...
2. if its not possible to unlock global stable rom...then pls provide me compatible link for developer rom for my device in india ?
3. is it possible to switch from global stable to developer stable without losing any of my data and installed app?
Pls give me clear answers.
You can unlock on global stable rom. But you need to wait for few days (usually 4-5 days) before trying to unlock (applicable for developer rom as well). I was also in a similar situation. I flashed global developer rom, waited for 4 days and then it unlocked successfully.
And regarding flashing developer rom, you can flash the developer rom recovery zip from the updater app. Your internal storage will not be erased, but your apps and their data will be deleted. You can easily restore them if you create a backup from the MIUI backup app.

It doesn't matter whether you are on stable or beta rom. You get that "couldn't verify device" error because your mi account details have not been refreshed in xiaomi's servers.
Well, regarding wait time, it may vary. Once you give an unsuccessful unlock attempt, wait for 3-4 days before giving another try.
Unlocked today.
Now I can confirm....that bootloader unlock is possible on Global Stable Rom.
We don't need to go through developer beta Rom.
I had unlocked bootloader today on My Global Stable Rom indian variant.
Now What is the main key point to avoid stuck at 50%(could not verify device)...Read this.
1. Apply for bootloader unlock permission....with the same number which you are using in your phone Miui account.
2. Wait some days until you don't receive sms....after receiving confirmation sms...you again need to wait for 11 days.
3. After 11 days ...download unlock tool from Miui and adb driver.
4. Install adb driver....and check your device is showing in device manager on PC.
5. Now in your phone you must log into same account which you verified.
Also one more very important thing is that You must inserted that same sim card in slot 1 ...for which you verified.
if you used another sim card ...while log into same account...but still you will never able to unlock.
So must use same sim card.
6. Also must check mi cloud and log into there and verify your account there.
7. Now run mi unlock tool in pc as admin and log into same account.
8. Enable usb debugging and unlock options in your phone. And shut down.
9. Boot into fastboot mode and connect...unlock...will work successfully.
10. You don't need to remove your fingerprint or patterns before unlock...as I read on various place...it's not required.
Also no any data loss...after unlock it will auto boot...and your all data and will intact...
I was also getting couldn't verify device error. But after few days I was able to unlock it officially via mi unlock tool on 8.1.1.0 MM Stable rom. I am using ZCX TWRP Recovery and inbuilt root.

What do you mean by "global beta"? Global DEV ROM?
Can you please share what version did you use when successfully unlocked?
Unlocking working on Global Stable Rom too....
As I unlocked....
So it's not necessary to flash developer(beta) Rom.
I have Redmi Note 4 MTK, i had my stock ROM MIUI 8 and i wanted to upgrade to MIUI 9. As i did not have official update of it, i downloaded the Global Stable Developer edition for MTK from Xiaomi's website. I flashed it using 'sp flash', since my bootloader was not unlocked earlier. I had to give different 'cust image' file when i had error during flash. I also had to use 'Auto format' before flashing cz i had it stucked without it. But it was then completed successfully. And i had MIUI 9 installed on my device.
The problem was i could not find my IMEI. I kept having error 'Cant get a valid device id'. Even when i checked with *#06# it said 'unable to get IMEI'.
I then unlocked my bootloader to flash with official flash tool of Mi. And i thought i should try another ROM to get it fixed, so i downloaded another latest version of developer ROM and flashed it, this time using Mi's official flashing tool. It didn't help. I thought going back to 'Globle Stable ROM' will fix it so i downloaded that, wiped my phone and flashed again. And it didn't work too.
I am out of options now, guys please. I want to fix it permenantly, don't want to temporarily mask IMEI. Please help guys.
I did it using MauiMETA, found a good tutorial on Xiaomi's forum.
Solved.
I have tried so many different ways, but still can't get GAPPS working on my Mars
I got TWRP working by cajunflavoredbob's thread, successfully installed Google services and flashed OpenGAPPS nano on it, but once rebooted they are nowhere to be found, can't even see app icon of Playstore.
Tried flashing the global rom by johnny886's thread, but failed because my phone is not shown in the Xiaomi tool used in the process at all, also tried flashing the official QPST ROM provided in the thread, but it doesn't seem to support TWRP flashing.
Have been looking for ways to get google play store working on my phone for months, can any expert please help?

Swap to SpanishI have not been able to flash the twrp to the phone it always fails even with the oem on and the unlocked fastboot. But if I could flash the global rom. You have to use the miflash inside the zip no other. When you put the directory where is the folder of images you have to give the button that says refresh and there will be displayed in the com that the phone is connected and you give flash and you wait until the green color comes out. Then you give the power button and leave it tight until it turns on and you will see it turn on and enter a weird menu in there without giving anything to leave the power button tight and three options come out you give the last one that says android and ready.

What can i do?
or stay on 12.5.5..or flash with fastboot...
Not sure what official site you're referring to but I have used the following without issue. Double check the file sizes/MD5s are the same in case your original download was cut short or something.
Xiaomi Firmware Updater
The ultimate script that provides firmware packages for Xiaomi devices.
xiaomifirmwareupdater.com
If still not working, it's possible it may require you to have the previous update installed before it will allow the newest. Try installing 12.5.7 first - and if it doesn't allow that then 12.5.6...

One issue I've personally encountered is that the update dialogue stops showing the option to install from local package. If you see this then select the updater settings from the Recents and clear data then try again.

Thanks sn0uts, 2 days ago i did exactly as you explained: choosing that web site and starting to manually updating into 12.5.6, 12.5.7 and then 13.0.4.
Now the phone is up to date, i still don't know why i've encountered this problem but i have a solution also for future.

Actually, with the app:
MIUI Downloader - Apps on Google Play
MIUI upgrade app for Mi users.
play.google.com
searching through Xiaomi Firmware Updater is easier. The app checks your phone model, your current firmware and points you directly to download your OTA from Xiaomi Firmware Updater.
If you don't want the offered OTA, you can search for the other suitable firmwares for your phone
Even more, it shows you Xiaomi.eu Weekly and Stable ROMs, and TWRP (if applicable)
You can also manually change the phone model and search for another Xiaomi phone
Anyway, it makes searching easier and error-free (newbie, by looking at Xiaomi Firmware Updater, may easily pick a wrong firmware, resulting by bricking his phone)

It does look very useful. However if I wasn't reading a recommendation on XDA and only saw it in the Play Store I might not trust an app with this from the look of it. If it's trustworthy then great.

Actually, they have a useful TG news. Too many things, not everything for everybody but eg, useful info about roadmaps which phones will receive further updates to newer MIUI and Android versions, new phones, new ear buds, etc
If using Xiaomi.eu ROMs, you will usually see a (correct!) changelog for the upcoming weekly an hour or more earlier than posted to Xiaomi.eu forum

I had the same problem and FINALLY I CAME UP WITH A SOLUTION. so... I've downloaded the ROM for V12.5.7.0 and installed it through the Updater app on the phone. After that, you can download the V13.0.4.0 and install it as normal.
I made an account just to help you guys because I was really annoyed that I couldn't update and probably you feel the same way.
Good luck and enjoy your mi11 lite
P.S. my battery went ****ty on the V12.5.5.0, idk about you but I had to recharge it often...hopefully it's not a hardware problem...

What exactly do you mean by "Updater app on the phone"? I am stuck on 12.5.5.0 as well and idk what to do with it. I assume the rom you've downloaded was from MIUI Updates Tracker topic on this board? If so, which one, the Fastboot or the Recovery?
Nevermind, figured it out. Downloaded "MIUI Downloader" app from Google Play, downloaded 1 version higher than ive had. Then, I went to settings -> About phone, clicked version, clicked a few times version logo and additional settings have been enabled. Then Ive clicked the button in top right corner and selected downloaded package. The phone accepted it and installed it. Then I've proceeded with other higher versions.

Sorry for the late reply. My solution was slightly different.
I downloaded the recovery rom (so you can install it from the phone) from a website with original miui roms, placed it in the internal storage, created a folder "downloaded_rom" and then I did exactly like you (settings>about phone>clicked the 3 dots>choose update package).
After that I downloaded the latest rom from c.mi.com and that was it.
I noticed that my problem with the battery was caused by the 12.5.5 rom. Now it's good as new.
I'm glad my post helped you and hopefully will help others as well. Take care!
My phone (bought in germany, EEA-rom) was stuck at "V12.5.6.0.RKIEUXM Enhanced" since the only update I received shortly after bying in December 2021. I could resolve the issue as follows:
In the update tracker thread I verified my build version which was EEA (European) in my case. First I tried to download and install v13.0.4 directly which failed (cannot verify stable update bla bla bla). Then I tried to download and install the version that was closest to mine -> V12.5.7.0.RKIEUXM which I successfully could flash. Directly after booting into 12.5.7 I was offered another update to v13.0.4.
Did anyone have similar issues: phone would not update to latest available version? What could be the reason? Regions and Update schedules? But were now in april 2022 and my phone was still not showing any updates.
I am in Australia and have downloaded the latest firmware for the phone, Renoir, but I can't update it because the option to "choose update package" isn't available on my phone...
I downloaded the update as I am getting the problem of not being able to download the package via my phone...keep getting the error that "something went wrong. Wait a minute or two and try again". This is frustrating
I discovered the fix to my problem... If you can't see the option of selecting a package to update under the 3 dots, click on MIUI logo in the updater several times till you see a message that tells you more features have been enabled.
cheers

Didn't read the whole discussion but noticed fastboot and xiaomi.eu options...those are the best IMHO.
xiaomi.eu updates renoir (weekly or stable) with fastboot option / scripts.
There are also fastboot recoveries (not the same as xiaomi.eu fastboot ROMs, but in case something goes wrong this can help out of bad situation) and regular update ROMs on MIUI tracker just make sure to pick the correct phone/ROM version: https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/
