Not only you, everyone faced this error. All you need to do is, download fly VPN app from Playstore and connect it, choose Shanghai server, now go to settings > developer setting > mi unlock status > try to bind your account. If you face any error, ignore it. Now wait few more days, do no try everyday, waiting 5 days or so, then try unlocking your bootloader.
Hello everyone, I need a huge hand. I formatted the redmi note 4 MTK but on rebooting I get stuck to a screen telling me that the phone locked because associated with a mi account, the problem is that accessing to unlock the device gives me that the password is wrong even if I'm sure be that. Accessing from mi.com with my data I can access easily and more I noticed that this account is mine is different from the one associated with the device. I tried to flash the rom rom, the global Rom, but nothing. Ah of course I do not have the bootloader unlocked ... heeelp! (Sorry for english)
Apparently I have bought Redmi 5 plus (MPEG7) which was locked with Mi Account or what. The phone works normally, but I cannot add my Xiaomi Account because it gives me some error I don´t remember now.
Tried to update the firmware manually, didn´t help. So I decided to do factory reset, and then, soon after the set up screen I connecet to wifi, my Xiaomi got locked. It says I need to sign in on account which was previously been there.
The guy who sold me this phone, aware me of this, I should not do factory reset because this will happen, but I thought If there is no Mi Account on this phone I am good to go.
Luckily I found local repair shop who helped me to revive this phone by bypassing Mi Account somehow. I can use it with my Gmail account and I still can´t add my Xiaomi Mi Account.
So here goes my question now, how much I can do about that here. Unlocking bootloader and installing custom recovery would help me here. But the thing is I can´t enter my Mi Account on my phone, so that means no unlocking bootloader for me, at least nothing officially.
So my questions goes. Is there any way to unlock bootloader without having MI Account on the phone?
And before I forgot, if I don´t unlock the bootloader, and the phone stay in the same condition, will my phone lock itself again after I update it to MIUI 11, once when the update is available?
For now it is on the latest MIUI available, 10.2 Stable, OEGMIXM
Thanks in advance

Hello!
I have a problem similar to this. And I've been looking for some answers on that. With the current state of the device, I have how to unlock the bootloader, and then install a custom recovery and rom? So far I have not found any answer that is favorable to me. Other than paying for the service.

As far I have did some further research, unfortunately for us there is no solution to this. Basically the phone is connected with the Mi Cloud servers. As there is no alternative to unlock the bootloader, other than the official way, if in any case we got to sign in our account on the phone, the phone will lock itself eventually.
The only solution is the person who owned the phone have to remove the phone from the Mi Cloud service.
I hope at least we will get MIUI 11 and the update will not lock our device again.

Hello!
I am also getting help to solve the problem. But, it has been 25 days that after sending some photos of the device screens nothing happened regarding the unlock. That is, it remains blocked. I tried help from S-Unlock but showed no interest in solving the problem. I need to find another company or someone to unlock the device next to the server. Feel free to help me if you want.
Hi,
I have a redmi note 4x (Snapdragon Version).
Earlier this week, I have flashed the stock firmware of it through fastboot to return from a custom rom to the stock one. But after flashing - wifi, gps, bluetooth was not working. Then I flashed several more times. But after all these nothing happened. And the device remained the same (bluetooth, gps, wifi was not working).
Then I started using it like that as I couldn't find any solution at that point. Then my younger brother wanted that device and I wanna shift to a new one. Then I gave it to him.
My brother is just 11. He opened a new google account in the phone, and removed all others (mine ones). Then 2 days later, he forgot the device passcode, and reset the device through revovery option.
Next, after resetting the phone, it was asking for the previous google account. And unfortunately my brother forgot the password of that google account. (the account had no recovery option).
Finally, we are stuck. Can't bypass the frp because, wifi is not working. (it's bypass works through the wifi setup page in the setting up process) When the device comes to the wifi setup page, it goes blank, the only thing then i can do is to skip it and enable mobile data to continue.
....................Now, can't unlock the frp and can't recover it to enable the wifi gps bluetooth option...............
So, please help me.
Advance thanks.
Hi, I can't help you with your problem but I recommend creating a Telegram account and joining Redmi Note 4 groups. You'll get answers to your questions much quicker there.
hi. a while ago (5 years ago) xiaomi note 5 pro was gifted to me when I was living in volos (Greece), now I live in athens and found my old device which was stored in storage boxes, I charged it and it works! i wanted to install a custom rom on it as I hate miui and when I factory reset my phone it locked up, I worry as I try countless passwords and none work, and the phone number linked to the locked xiaomi account is a very old one which I changed about 3 years ago and don't even remember anymore, after trying to get a receipt from KOTSOVOLOS (tech shop where the phone was bought) they said they couldn't find any receipts for such phone. without it xiaomi wouldn't unlock my phone no matter what. so I took it to a shop to bypass the lock and they did. it now works but they told me to never factory reset it as the lock will come back.
they bypassed the lock by corrupting the lock partition, and disableing 5 services (found out myself after digging into the phone by my computer)
now, I wanted to unlock its bootloader to flash a custom rom. but when I try to add an account (from the mi unlock status section in settings) on the device (with sim) it tells me error 20091, and trying to do it straight from mi flash won't work either, as mi flash detects that the device is still locked up and won't proceed. after calling the repair shop, they told me because of the bypass they couldn't unlock its bootloader.
but I don't want to give up right now.
can anyone please help me? any suggestions appreciated, and I will answer all questions you all might have (if any).
thank you!
