My phone is locked with a different Mi account - Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers

I unlocked the bootloader of my phone and flashed this chinese MIUI ROM - http://bbs.ydss.cn/thread-935355-1-1.html
My phone worked fine for 2 days but later my phone was locked with a Mi account (108****156) . I dont know anything about that Mi account and when I flash any MIUI based rom I am getting an error that my phone is locked with Mi account . How to fix this anyone please help me

You are unlucky, some chinese moded miuis have built-in malware to lock your phone and ask for money to unlock. Flash custom rom or get contact with the romer.

No current account. i have saving account.:fingers-crossed:
Even i am facing the same issue & nobody is there to help
there is no fix yet, one worthwhile process is to wait, at least 5 days, thats what MIUI says. Try unlock bootloader unofficially
I don't if this is a solution or not but it worked for me. Create another mi account. Then apply permission from that account. Then wait for 4-5 days. And try unlocking from the new account.
I tried contacting MIUI Support on all channels (Global, Malaysia, India etc.) and only Global Support admitted that its a bug. They asked me to post on MIUI Forums so I did. Still no fix. Had to unlock it unofficially.
Can u tell me which unofficial method u used ? I seriously need to unlock mine and there is no success at all
You must inserted SIM card which jou unlocked this device.
Yes facing this issue for the last 1 year and no solution by xiaomi for kenzo.
I was having the same problem. Finally decided to unlock unofficially(lost all of my data)

As far as I know you can´t cross the firmware before to unlock device and in your case when you unlocked it you can flash any of both but you can´t relock it over the crossed firmware or you could brick it.
If you want to wait that someone that tried it can confirm it but I read that some users bricked due to this.

Will I receieve OS updates if I convert China Version Mi 10 to Global Version?

I'm planning on buying Mi 10 from China, then convert it into Global Rom / EU Rom. Does anyone know if flashing global rom will allow the device to receieve auto updates on the OS? Also will I be able to relock the bootloader after flashing the global rom?
Has anyone tried this? Thank you!
If you lock bootloader with Global rom your device will brick.
Flash global rom without lock. You can receive updates without any problems.

Can't update to MIUI 12

Hi,
I am a first time Xiaomi user and just got the Mi 10 Global version. I tried manually installing the official global MI 10 Miui 12 ROM, but the update failed as it couldn't be verified. Please take a look at the screenshots..
I can't update it via fastboot neither, as my bootloader is locked and Xiaomi wants me to wait for 168 hours (7 days!) to try again.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Don't update the **** miui 12

Because it is a Vodafone branding. You have to wait till Vodafone release the update.

So the VF at the end of MIUI version number means Vodafone?
If that's the case I might as well go and unlock my bootloader, flash the unbranded global rom and relock the bootloader.
Do I loose anything by unlocking and relocking the bootloader? I had Samsung phones before, where unlocking the bootloader would trip Knox and invalidate your warranty.

Yes VF is Vodafone branding. If you unlock bootloader you will loose your data. So make a backup.

So in the end I flashed it with Xiomi Tool V2 and I didn't need to unlock the bootloader.

Question How to flash Indonesian recovery rom without unlocking bootloader on global rom ?

I am currently on 13.0.2.0 SKEINXM and i hate global rom , I want miui dialer and messages app to come pre-installed , so I found that Indonesian rom has miui dialer and messages pre installed , so how do I flash Indonesian rom on top of my global rom without unlocking bootloader ?
I found a video on YouTube that is flashing Indonesian rom on global without rooting .
Here is the link -
I don't think there is a way to flash roms without unlocking the bootloader. You need it unlocked for the adb and the fastboot commands to work.
There is a way to install through the ota update system, but I'm not sure how stable or safe it really is.
Why do you not want to unlock the bootloader? You don't need to have a rooted phone for flashing roms, rooting and unlocking the bootloader are 2 seperate things.
For warranty reasons if you really want to have a locked bootloader, you can unlock it and then flash and then lock it back again.
