I recently got a redmi note 4 in which i wanted to unlock my bootloader but the miflash tool says "current account is not bound to device". I have unlocking permissions from Xiaomi as i had a Redmi 4a and i unlocked its bootloader , I added my account which has unlocking permissions on my Redmi 4a but it isnt working . Please if anyone could help me with this issue it would be nice of them!

I had this annoying problem for weeks on mine redmi note3. I tried everything (even using a proxy as suggested on miui forum); in the past I also tried old version of Miflash (not working anymore, xiaomi broke functionality of them).
On miui forum (and also on xda) someone suggested to flash Miui Developer, others say to flash the stable one...I repeat, I tried everything...
at the end I used an unofficial method (not working for redmi note 4 Mido)
@qandrav Is it available for Redmi 4A?

u need to wait for 1 month cause same account cannot used to unlock bootloader of other phone..
mi restrictions.its better to get unlock permissions on new account and try unlocking with that..I'm also not sure about 1 month part I read that in mi community
---------- Post added at 06:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:21 AM ----------
Do these things to solve current account not linked to device problem
1.have a single device linked to Ur mi account..
2.enable find Ur device mi cloud option and check whether ur device shows online in i.mi.com
3.Click number of times bind Ur mi account to this device which is under settings--mi unlock status.. Remember keep sync on..
After doing these,try again after 10 days, u will be able to unlock successfully..
Credits go to this thread: http://en.miui.com/thread-3754714-1-1.html and copy the prewritten email and send it to global Xiaomi support!
And participate in the movement, so we can achieve an answer from Xiaomi!!!
"You may have seen my first thread on my email correspondence with Xiaomi customer support and their useless answer here:
http://en.miui.com/thread-3744798-1-1.html
There's an update today with more of the same. I got the other boiler plate about the "server process" and how to "be patient":
>From: service.global [email protected]
>
>Also, I would request you to kindly wait for some
>time regarding the authorization of the Mi Account as
>it is server process so, it may take some time. Till the
>time, I would request you to keep some patience. We
>will try to resolve your complaint at the earliest.
>Please get in touch with us if you need any further assistance.
I don't think we need "to be patient". We must be polite, but persistent.
So, go and ask Xiaomi for a clear and responsible attitude. If you have the bricked phone problem, don't just spend time on the forums. Send an email to the Xiaomi customer service!
Here is how:

Hi. Thousands of users, including myself {MI ID ______} , are facing the ARB-bricked Xiaomi
phones issue.
There are literally thousands of people with soft-bricked phones due to your poorly announced
and poorly executed ARB decision, which is contrary to Xiaomi's past policies and promises
of hardware openness.
The hottest topics on the MIUI forums are about Xiaomi not addressing the issue.
It is literally a flood. Here are some, and some that have been there for weeks.
http://en.miui.com/thread-3612759-1-1.html
http://en.miui.com/thread-3307173-1-1.html
http://en.miui.com/thread-3624876-1-1.html
http://en.miui.com/thread-3495776-1-1.html
http://en.miui.com/thread-3149410-1-1.html
Xiaomi's poor decision bricked thousands of new phones.
Some users did get authorizations, most of us were left hanging.
There are now scammers who post offers to unbrick for money, who ask
people for remote access to their PC and phone. Xiaomi is putting many, many
of its customers at unacceptable risks because of the stubborn refusal to
provide the required access in a timely manner. This is completely unacceptable.
You must not reply with boilerplate excuses, but with a solution.
Please don't stall, and explain your policy and "the server process" fairly to
everyone.
And please authorize my (and everyone else's) account for EDI flashing.
Best regards:"

It's ok to ask Xiaomi for a statement but you cant really blame Xiaomi for the bricks.
They sell 2 kind of devices :
CHINA and Global.
China are supposed to work only in china and you should not "hack" them with unlocking+flashing others rom.
Global is what you are supposed to buy if you want a Xiaomi phone.
It's simple, at least read before unlock/flash things. That's why people have bricks now. It's written everywhere, with china model you CANT relock bootloader if global is on it. Easy. If you are touching bootloader is supposed that you know what you are doing, otherwise dont do it.

Most people buying Xiaomi devices on Chinese online stores don't know that policy and the seller didn't tell anything nor Xiaomi till a few weeks.
Xiaomi should stop selling hijacked devices.

Then fun fact is that. Xiaomi dont officially sell hijacked devices.
Resellers do it.
They buy stock of chinese devices and then "hack" with some EDL or something to unlock bootloader immediatly, flashing global and "advertising" it like a Global Phone. Some tell you that is unlocked+global, others dont.
For example, my case. Mi8 from eGlobal on eBay. It should've been STOCK Cinese Phone, with locked bootloader and just english or chinese language. It arrived with unlocked bootloader and global rom on it.
You can't really blame Xiaomi...
is it possible to unlock bootloader with a authorised Account immediatly? Or do i have to wait the 720h?

Sent from my MI 8 using Tapatalk
I am getting an MI 8 from AliExpress and the phone is a China variant with unlocked bootloader + global ROM on it. I know I can't relock the bootloader as it has a global ROM.
Couple of questions:
1. After I add my MI account to the device, will I be able to debrick it if it ever gets bricked?
2. Since it was unlocked by some reseller's account, it's tied to their account and only they can unlock it if it's bricked?
3. Only way to relock is to flash the China ROM and unlock it using my MI account (after 720 hours)?
1 depends the way u brick...
2 no... after the unlock, they remove the account from the phone.
3 u awnsered your on question. if you flash china rom, u will relock.. if u unlock after that, u will unlock the boot loader again.
Honestly, I also experienced this. My Mi 8 Bootloop into Recovery/Softbrick. I did use someone's services to make My Mi 8 work again without opening the phone. Cause in my country Xiaomi does not provide warranty for non official product.

I think you re-locked the bootloader after flashing Global ROM. You can unbrick it in 2 ways:
1. Unlock the bootloader again and flash Global Fastboot ROM keeping bootloader unlocked.
2. Use MiPCSuite V3 and flash China ROM again.
Thanks,

i had the same issue.
unlocked bootloader - flashed Global miui 10 .. Bootlooped to recovery..
all you have to do is connect to the mi unlock tool and go through the unlock process.. it will boot up into miui 10.
@navin_n, @Dalendra7,
MiPCSuite V3 seems to work !... But it only accepted to flash the ROM that I already flashed via MiFlash and which bricked my phone, which is Global 10.0.2.0
So MiPCSuite V3 works but I can't install either an older global version or a Chinese version, older or more recent.
Except for EDL and test point, what are our options ?
Thanks

EDL and Test Point
Hi I'm stuck with this device is locked with a mi account number that I don't know, the bootloader is locked so I can't flash non-MIUI ROMS, I tried recovering the account and everything failed even sending an email to mi global customer support, there are no xiaomi stores in my country but I saw a lot of online services to bypass the mi account (some claim to completely remove it) by only asking the IMEI number orthers could do it via EDL boot.
So please is there hope for my poor poco F1 to see life again :crying: :crying:

Stolen phones can be easily declared as lost. my device is locked not declared as lost. you can google that before accusing others seeking help.

Mi account and locked bootloader are there for this reason.
No, you can't do anything about it or bypass it. You should focus on getting access to your phone's mi account.
If it is your own mi account you can recover easily .
what do you mean? how did unknown account get logged into your device?

I bought a used phone, I made sure there was no associated mi account, I added my own mi account and it couldn't pass so I decided to flash lineage OS to fix the problem now my phone is locked with another mi account that isn't mine, I tried all recovery options I emailed xiaomi customer service and they replied
"Thank you for contacting Xiaomi Customer Support. I am Gurpreet and sorry to know that your device is bricked.
