1. Go to i.mi.com
2. Login using your phone number
(But your phone number should be registered first to the mi account)
3 . Click on upgrade account
4. Click on send otp
(You'll get otp to registered number)
5. Enter otp
6. On main page click locate device
(It'll locate your device on map and in top right corner you should see only one device i.e. rn5/p)
Then minimise the browser
Put your phone in fastboot mode and unlock with mi flash tool.

i skipped step 6 because could not find the setting.
Didn't work for me. It still shows the "2xx hours remaining until unlock"
(I had already binded my MI account to the device using the Global Developer ROM, maybe this is why didn't work for me).

For me it worked like a charm with pre installed stock global version of MIUI. Phone received yesterday, followed the instructions (had a mi-account with unlock permission already from my Redmi 3s), phone was immediately unlocked. Flashed RWRP & Dot 2.2 and I simply love it.

Just bought the Redmi 5 plus and is very eager to share with you guys my experience in using this phone.
Having used the stock global rom for about 1 week now, the performance and battery life are ok (thanks to SD625 chip but definitely not Xiaomi), in contrast ram management is utterly horrible (which can be alleviated by turning off ram optimization in under developer options).
One thing that really struck me by surprise is that the latest so called stable rom is still very un-polished, built-in calculator cannot be rotated, Mi player causes the video to stutter, the weather app does not have widgets, changes made to apps that autostart did not save after reboot...... All these poor experience causes you to want migrate to custom roms. But guess what!! Not only the kernel source has not been released, you can't even unlock your phone if you are on global roms (the notorious 86006 error, and thus far there still isn't any legitimate way to unlock devices on global rom.)
Still struggling to get the phone unlocked............

same model and so same struggle...... But I finally made some progress, the key to binding the account seems to be installing global developer version, now my account binds with my phone. For now waiting for 360 hours before being able to unlock the device.... It is so obscure to have such a long waiting time.... Will report later on the progress of unlocking.

You sure bro you're device binded with MEG7 Model? Tell me if yes, I will be glad if that's true and definitely I will try. Just tell me the exact step + screenshoot your device model. cz I already tried installing Dev global with test point method and binding it but no result, still 86006.

Yes, I am sure that is MEG7 model, cannot upload screenshot now as I am redownloading all the apps from playstore..... Flashing a developer rom will result in formatting of internal storage so remember to backup all the important stuff before doing that....

And that's exactly his phone and problem
Did you use a Chinese VPN when binding? I'm on MEG7 and did it yesterday.
I installed global dev ROM by downloading from MIUI, putting on device internal storage and selecting from Updater app.
1) Log into Mi account on phone with existing account that has developer rights (or apply for this)
2) Install any VPN that has Shanghai or somewhere in China and activate (I used Flit VPN)
3) Enable dev and in there OEM Unlock and USB debug.
4) Bind account
I couldn't do this before I switched to MIUI Global Dev 8.3.29
Still have to wait for 15 days but hope this helps.

Exactly as in the video except if you aren't in China have a China VPN running when you hit the unlock request and get the 86006 error.
Also you can use any account that you previously had unlock permission granted on. No need to make another.

Try setting memory optimization to Middle or High. It gives you more zram, and that lets you have more apps in memory. Turn off miui killing apps aswel

Once u bind the account, u don't have to associate again, it should remain associated as long as u don't logout. And just wait for 2 weeks and u should be able to unlock it.
Hi there I have the chance to get two of these good smartphones in China for a good price. The problem is that they have the Chinese rom on it and my parents need the italian language. Will it be possible to flash the global rom or just add the italian language?
Thanks.

Based on my experience b4 unlocking 5A, the only way you can switch from China to Global is to flash it via test point. Unless you've unlocked the phone, you could flash it via fastboot. Is your 5A unlocked yet?

Yep, that's all you need to do. After an unlock, you do have the option to relock your bootloader (which maybe you're already familiar with). The guide is on the miui forums. Good luck!

I recently purchased a Redmi Note 5 , Global Version, I recently unlocked the bootloader, but wasn't for sure what guide method to use to flash twrp and root... I tried the one click root I found here on the forums, but it doesn't detect my device, even with usb debugging etc... So was thinking maybe b/c it was global and not china? Any help appreciated, thanks.
Install it normally via fastboot. For root, flash magisk. No need to complicate things with tools.

Hey there, so I'm confused. I bought the redmi note 5 pro from Amazon and it said unlocked. I have it on T-Mobile. If it's unlocked that means i don't have to go through the xiomi back? On the box it says global room. It the settings it says I have whyred room. So can I flash a rom already ??
Check fastboot oem device-info
in fastboot. If true , you are unlocked to flash custom ROM, recovery etc....

The problem if you do not lock the bootloader, the play store will not be certified, which means that certain apps like Netflix, will not be available, also certain banking apps will not work. The solution being to root and use Magisk hide .
Locking the bootloader is possible provided your phone is not a Chinese version.
All this is useless with a Xiaomi Eu rom (playstore certified without root).
BTW:
Your first link has already been posted.
The second ?.
The third has nothing to do with the subject.
Didn`t have time to read all so i posted what he needs to get the update. Second link is where to get the rom, and third link of video tutorial has everything to do with subject because guy in the video shows how to flash official rom to your phone and what to do if flashing gives error. So it was meant for him to watch, not for others who need netflix. But if he needs netflix he can just ignore most of recommendations here and just root his phone if he knows how and finds some simple way so he doesn`t brick his phone

Anyway, since i posted a question my self with a little problem, if this is the way i might get some answers by explaining every single thing i or anyone else post, then this is not the right place to get answers... Best of luck to Powerhero with updating his phone. I hope he chooses best and easiest solution and enjoy his phone with new software.

After using Mi unlock you will have to wait 168 hours to finalize the procedure.
Then use Miflash to flash the A12 rom, first do not relock the bootloader, check that everything works and that A12 suits you then lock the bootloader if you do not want to try other roms like Xaiomi EU rom.
Mi unlock and Miflash will erase all your data.

one more thing sir and sorry for that. the process with xaiomi phones is a bit different i used to do it with samsung phones.
i did all the steps to unlock the bootloader
and tells me to wait 168 hours to unlock.
now should i use the phone normally and what things not to do untill the 168 hours complete
and finally when flashing the rom.how to prevent re-locking the bootloader and how to lock it if i want to.
thank you best regards
