Chinese Vendor unlocked bootloader: can I flash new rom to Xiaomi Mi 10? - Xiaomi Mi 10 Questions & Answers

I bought a Mi 10 CN phone version, but it came with bootloader unlocked and global ROM installled. (Vendor used their Mi account to unlock it it seems)
As the bootloader is unlocked Google pay wouldn't work. From what I can read on the Xiaomi.eu version ROM, it seems with that ROM one could use Google pay.
My question is can I use adb and fastboot to install Twrp on the phone and then install xiaomi.eu ROM on the phone without having to enter the Mi account when the new ROM boots up? I had seen that after unlocking the bootloader and installing a custom ROM one had to enter their Mi account that was connected to the unlocking process.

You should not have to sign in to Mi account unless you already signed in before. The vendor who unlock your phone already sign out. I also bought a mi 10 china rom which was installed with global rom and unlocked bootloader. The first time I turn on the phone I had option not to sign in to Mi account.

Awesome, so if I flash xiaomi.eu ROM on to the phone I will be able to boot the ROM without having to put in the passcode for the account that ulocked the bootloader?!
Thank you for the help! @tknguyencsu

That what happened to my phone. I bought it from Giztop with unlocked bootloader and global rom installed. I am now on xiaomi.eu ROM. Your vendor should sign out of the xiaomi account.

I appreciate the clarification. That's exactly what I am trying to do and is the same place I bought it from.
Thank you so much

Delete Mi Account

Hi,
got brand new Redmi 3 Pro from fastcardtech. Fingerprint did not work, so i did update on miui8. I was able to do the Gmail Login and test the fingerprint, all fine now. But on Miui8 my Phone is Locked by MiAccount!
I had long texting with fastcardtech. They test all phone before sending and they forgot to delete the Account. They provided me some Passwords but they dont work.
Is there any way to delete the Mi Account from a phone?
I can send it back but i dont want to wait several weeks again.
Thank you.

Mi unlock password
Assalam o alikum and hello friends.
Jawad here. And in this Post I would like to share a simple trick with you guys,If you are Reading this then its means either your Mi devices is locked or you don’t know the Mi account installed on your device. Things you should know are what are ROOTING, CUSTOM RECOVERY, CUSTOM ROMS and how to do those. This post will be simple but not the procedure and unfortunately will be like this.
First of all let me tell you one thing and that will be If your Mi device is lock you can install CUSTOM roms, BUT its my personal experience that when I changed rom from MIUI rom to other custom rom I was missing My MIUI rom badly. Secondly this process will be long so be have some patience, And At last If you follow all the steps correctly then IN SHA ALLAH you will find your very own Mi account on your device.
1)If your Mi device is lock what should you do first, Things you should do is DOWNLOAD TWRP, LAZYFLASHER, CUSTOM ROM (which ever you like) SUPER USER.
2)Now Install TWRP recovery through Fastboot, For that you will find Many videos on youtube.
3)After that just for few minutes install custom rom. (Flash through TWRP) Look for HOW TO INSTALL CUSTOM ROM THROUGH TWRP for your specific device.
4)Root it (Flash SUPERUSER.ZIP through twrp amd flash lazyflasher too) and install DEVICE ID CHANGER and change your DEVICE ID. In whichever way you like, It can be of your own choice or it can be randomly.
5)After that Flash your desire MIUI rom and go through the process. And now you will find that your device is without any previous Mi account.
My device is Redmi 3s prime, brought it from China. when came back, I couldn't verify my Mi account so had to Flash custom rom Linage Os 14.1 didn't like that at all so shifted to the next and then to the next, And then by chance install Pixel Rom although couldn't root it but found that my device ID was changed so just to try if anything like that can ever work, I flashed MIUI 8 again and was surprised to found that there wasn't any Mi account at my device. So I created my New Mi account.
To confirm this very theory I had to root my device and had to Change device ID and then performed factory reset only and this did work. There wasn't any MIUI verification

How to flash Chinese Developer ROM over Global rom to unlock Bootloader?

I had applied for permission to unlock bootloader officially and i got permission two days back.
When i try to unlock via MiUnlock app, it stuck at 50% and said Couldn't verify the device.
I searched on google and i found something like i should be on Developer Rom to unlock. So i flashed the Gobal Developer Rom through System Updater. Again i tried to unlock the phone, same error. Then i found , i should be on Chinese Developer rom. So again i tired to flash Chinese developer rom but this time it failed when i try to flash through System updater.
Can anyone tell me how to do?
Thanks in advance.
No matter how u try, it all depends on luck. With chinese developer rom I was able to unlock mine but not my friends RN3. The real truth is that xiaomi doesn't want to you to unlock otherwise why to complex a one command process. Its better to flash zxc twrp with miui rom flash method without unlocking or unlock it unofficialy.
Now to your answer if you want it. You can flash chinese developer rom via edl method through mi flash
Just flash via EDL and choose flash_all in MiFlash.
I had 50% problem with unlocking many times and it was always something to do with drivers or bad connection...
i think need sign in account has unlock permision to you phone and wait 1,2 days

Flashed the chinese rom using MIFlashTool. Still no luck.Same error.
Couldn't verify device.
ZXC twrp will help to install Lineage based ROM without any problem?

Help with Redmi Note 3 (BL/TWRP/ROM)

Hey everyone! In the past, I have tried to unlock my Redmi Note 3's Bootloader via the official method (yes I have permission), and also fastboot oem unlock command. Nothing seems to work, and I am going to follow some tutorials to get ZCX TWRP on my phone. Provided it works, I need to know some things:
1. Will those tutorials (they all do same thing; flash ZCX TWRP via Mi Flash EDL) unlock bootloader?
2. If not, will I be able to flash custom ROMs like AEX 5.7 via recovery?
3. Can ZCX TWRP be replaced by official TWRP?
Help with getting rid of MIUI (and my locked bootloader) would be appreciated.
Cheers!
Same thing happened to me... I accidentally locked my bootloader while flashing with MI flash. And now mi unlock tool saying "this account couldn't be used to unlock bl" (I too have unlocking permissions ??)
Now I'm stuck with stock miui rom??

I have this same error! Anyway, I'm now on official TWRP 3.2.2-0... Need to know whether it's safe to allow modification of System, and whether I can flash stuff.
Yes you can, almost 90℅ of redmi note 3 users have unlocked unofficially , just dont flash miui rom with twrp

How u know 90% are unofficial unlocked ?
Update: It works
I decided to try for myself, and successfully flashed AEX 5.7. Gapps is giving me some problems but that's probably because I installed the stock zip. Micro will probably be more stable while retaining face unlock feature. Thanks to everyone who helped, and the awesome community.
Because of error current account cannot unlock this device
