I am trying to Unlock bootloader of My Mi Max from last 4 days but always getting an error "Couldn't Verify Device" and on.
First : I want to root my phone as soon as possible and clear this Mi Junk but after watching this drama I am losing my Patient.
Second : any other alternative for Unlocking bootloader for Mi MAX.
If anybody has unlocked there Mi Max with Mi Unlock with there MI ID without any error??
Please Help!
UPDATE:
Bootloader was unlocked using Official method, Thanks @nijel8 and @avi3230 for Replying!
Make sure you are on official miui and on some fake vendor rom. China dev is preferred but not necessary...
Just visit this thread.
No need of unlocked bootloader for rooting.

I am having issues with my mi max (Hydrogen) i have been granted unlocking rights, but the unlock tool alway states my mi device isnt supported??
Initially, i had a few issues with drivers on Windows 10, but i have patlrtially sorted this. And i can now connect with MTP, But i still can't unlock or connect to the Mi Pc suite?
Any help with this would be welcomed.
T.I.A.
I had the same trouble, just look up your windows device manager. Mi Max should be recognized as "Android ADB Interface" while running fastboot mode.
The second problem can be with Xiaomi services. If you still getting verify error, try to use some of their services, like cloud, theme shop etc and than try again to unlock.
I was unlocking my hydrogen on global stable 8.0.1.0 successfully.
PS: the phone goes into recovery 30 seconds in total. On my previous XRN2 it was something like promptly.
I recomend you update to the latest Stable Official Miui Rom before trying to unlock bootloader, and you will find a new option in developer options near to the "Enable Unlock OEM" to asociate your Mi account, now you won't get the "50% error" anymore.
I have finally unlocked the bootloader tonight I signed into the mi unlock tool, with my mi max connected as normal. (not in fastboot mode) After clicking sign in, i got a message to turn off and do the normal vol- and power to enter fastboot mode. I then got the unlock prompt which i was waiting so long for. In the MI forums, they are all saying enter fasboot mode first before connecting to the unlock tool, but i did it after connecting just normally., Hope this helps anyone that is having the same issues connecting.
Still can't sign into my Mi Pc suite though? Device manager is stating in portable devices that MI MAX is connected, but has i yellow triangle! when i enable usb debugging, i get a prompt from pc suite to "connect my device via usb" but im clearly connected? when usb debug is off, i get no prompt from pc suite.
After i right click to update drivers on MI MAX in device manager, i get a massage from windows that " A service installation section in this INF is invalid" and from PCsuite stating "looks like your missing some drivers" Really??
I have tried updating with different ways in device manager, but i get the same results, connected to windows, but no connection to Pc suite which i need for backing up my files before flashing
Any help with this is very welcomed.

It's a known official fact straight from Xiaomi PC sh*t don't support anything after Android 5.x. Quick search would've saved you time and troubles...
Well i didnt know that so i wouldn't have searched for that info, but thanx for letting me know anyway.

Thanks for sharing. Same issue here.
Wondering if anyone is able to help me.
Recently purchased a MI5S Plus and having problems unlocking the bootloader. Followed all instructions and the unlock fails at 50% with the tool stating that "the account on the device is different than current account" (or something like that).
Now here's what I have done so far:
-made sure device and tool are using the same account with phone number login
-made sure "find device" is turned on and phone can be found
-disabled windows 10 driver signature
-enabled usb debugging on the device
-made sure sim card is in slot 1 of device
So far no dice. Phone is on Global Stable (8.0.1.0) but I wanted to move to EU version (which also has the correct UK locale and some other features). I am not new to the rom flashing scene (just moved from iOS to android and had a Galaxy S2 back in the day).
If anyone could help me with this it would be greatly appreciated. No idea what else to try.
Best regards

I think what this means is that your phone is associated to a mi account different than the one you have logged in to unlock it. Make sure your phone has the same mi account as the one you are using to unlock it.
Good luck!!

Yes it's the same account in both places. I double checked that.

Hi, I will share some of my experience.
Myself had that problem too, bought mi5s plus on global 8.x.x and wanted to move to eu version . The problem with this phone is that there's no global dev rom for it just yet, and you can't officially flash the china dev rom, since the installer doesn't recognize the package. So you find yourself in kind of loop, like
==> to open bootloader you need dev rom (only china available) :/
==> to flash china dev rom via mi flash you need to get your phone to EDM ( Emergency Download Mode ) .
But to get to EDM you need open bootloader.
That's kinda sucks, but i kept looking over the internet and found the overall solution that will probably work on any xiaomi device. And that's to make "Deep flash cable". This cable let's you enter EDM ignoring the locked bootloader, this way you can flash the china dev rom, and from there open the bootloader.
The idea is really simple, just need to shortcut any of the middle connectors of the usb with the ground(the outter connector) when plugging the phone into the pc(don't even need to cut the original usb cable), that will prevent the phone from starting to charge and it will enter EDM (pure black screen without any sign of life, but pc will recognize it on COM port as long as you have qualcomm drivers installed.) In this mode the mi flash tool will recognize the phone and you can flash the china dev rom.
If you need more help just ask, and u can find some nice guides on youtube that explain how to make the cable. Good luck!

Thanks makslll, I have mi5s, wondering if the process is different?
I bought my phone with the xiaomi.eu rom (8.0.10.0 MAGCNDH), unlocked bootloader with "MiFlashUnlock_1.1.0317.1_en" and installed recovery following this (https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/6-12-1.36462/). After this I was able to install other ROMs .
Hope this helps

Main problem I'm getting at the moment is the fact I can't get past the 50% on the unlock process. Keeps giving me an account error on the Mi Flash unlock tool. Something like "Account on the device is different from current account".
In any case I was looking at this EDL solution but let me see if I grasped this:
-I can use EDL to bypass locked bootloader restrictions. Could I just flash the EU rom without unlocking the bootloader?
-That not being the case, I'm guessing I would need to flash something like China Dev and the try and unlock the bootloader followed by TWRP flash, etc etc.
If someone could shed any light on this that would be great.
Thanks in advance

Thanks will give this a bash later on after first trying to factory reset the phone.
Thing is I read about a lot of people being successful unlocking their bootloader on Global Stable rom, so no idea why I can't do it. Pretty sure I have all the necessary drivers and I'm following the process as it should. Still getting the account error.
Xiaomi should sort their **** out...
Thanks everyone for your help!

You can't flash Eu ROM with locked bootloader, since you need to use special image files of the supported roms for miflash (Can't use the .zip roms that we flash via recovery), and those available only for the official roms ( global stable, china stable, china dev).
So yeah, unfortunally this would take little longer, but i can assure you this method 100% works and it's not very hard once you've done the tricky thing with the deep flash cable =)

On another note, if a Global Dev rom is released for the Mi5S Plus, are you able to flash it as normal through the updater app?

Yes, on my gf's mi5 i just flashed global dev rom from the updater and unlocked it easy, they really should just remove the global <==> china barrier
Update: there is official Global Dev ROM available now, so no "deep flash cable" is needed anymore, just download the ROM, copy it to phone memory, and flash it via updater, good luck =)
So, quick update.
Managed to unlock bootloader last night by updating to the new Global Dev for the Mi5S Plus.
However a new problem has arisen, as usual. Using ADB, it recognises the phone whilst in normal mode with USB debugging on. The moment I reboot it into fastboot mode (to flash TWRP), it doesn't recognise it anymore. The drivers are installed as I disabled windows driver signature verification, but the phone is just not recognised anymore.
Anyone have any idea how to fix this?
Thanks in advance.
Guys, I need some help to confirm the only solution I found for my problem, or if I can still try other solutions.
I bought a Mi5s that already came from seller with the global stable rom. I asked the official bootloader unlock to Xiaomi and has received authorization by SMS. But the unlock application stucks at 50% saying that the device being unlocked is different from the one authorized on Mi account. I looked for some solutions like deleting all the devices in the page i.mi.com, leaving only the Mi5s, but I did not have success. Other solution is flash chinese developer rom
Another solution is to flash Chinese developer rom, to confirm unlock of the device on the developer screen and then to use the official tool unlock. But I didn't find any way to flash the developer rom. I've tried using Chinese PC Suite, fastboot mode, MiFlash, and all says that the rom I am trying to flash (Chinese) is different from the rom of the device (global).
The only solution I found is to buy a deep flash cable and flash the developer rom in EDL mode. Or hope to launch the global developer rom for Mi5s, which so far we have no prospect in the short term.
Do you suggest I try some other solution? Thanks in advance.
Try logging into mi cloud with your mi5s using the same account you used to asked the request to unlock.

Already had done it, no success
From http://en.miui.com/thread-482266-1-1.html
Under settings/additional settings/developer options, click Mi unlock status. Click add account and device. Your device will now be automatically added to your Mi account.
Next,enable OEM unlocking and USB debugging under developer options.
Then connect your mobile to the pc or laptop while on fastboot mode. Unlock again. This time, it will be successful!
Same problem. Can't unlock my Mi 5S on Global Stable firmware (V8.0.3.0). And can't flash to China Developer firmware.

Sorry i was on mobile and understood you badly.
According to this:
http://en.miui.com/thread-202290-1-1.html
You should have that parameter no matter you are at global or not, but if you don't you should flash a developer version, instruction at the same page.
Before you say "i can't flash developer rom", did you tried the updater app to flash it?
Force flash your rom using special cable to enter fastboot to install. I dont know its detail, but the installation called Deep Flash using deep flash cable sold on ebay

I had similar problems and I was also trying to figure out what to do to unlock bootloader on Global stable rom. The amount of people having the same problem where unlocking app stops at 50% is overwhelming ,judging from the comments found on google, but the info what is the actual problem is next to none. Suggested solutions looks to me like voodoo and most if not all probably doesn't have any impact on successful unlocking. As the Xiaomi unlock app is just a wrapper for fastboot executable I've checked what kind of commands are being send to the fastboot when you click unlock here they are.
fastboot getvar product
fastboot getvar soc-id
fastboot getvar soc_id
fastboot getvar board_version
So I've checked if I will actually get any info from bootloader if I send those commands manually, and with no surprise I didn't get any. So this was the problem at least in my case. Some kind of connection problem I'm not sure where exactly the fault is, probably drivers but try to issue those commands manually from command line I can bet you will not get any info from the phone. What to do if that's the case remove and reinstall drivers, this is what has worked for me. Good luck
Had the same problem. Got it solved today. the bad news you need a deep flashing cable, good news you can make it yourself.
Here is the guide:
http ://en.miui.com/thread-310325-1-1.html
http ://en.miui.com/thread-299790-1-1.html
I have unlocked 4 mi phones with no difficulty. Some of them with fake/seller ROM. Once you got permission make sure you have done all things right before preceding to Unlock. Usually it's all about loading the right driver for Xiaomi phone. Using default windows driver is not working. As it's not Microsoft signed driver you have to start windows in insecure mode.
You have to login in your mi account both on PC and on phone with SIM card ind.
Check that phone is verified settings/mi account on your phone.
Best luck
Something is with drivers for your phone. I have the same problem...than i delete drivers and than they automaticly reinstall and evarything works.

Follow the guide that I posted to make the cable(first link), install all the drivers and software needed (second link).
After successfully putting the phone in deep flash mode you need to update Qualcomm drivers (under device manager it must appear as com3 or com10 port after that).
Then use Mi Flash tool to flash Chinese dev rom (http ://bigota.d.miui.com/7.1.20/miui_MI5S_7.1.20_229fa68558_6.0.zip). If the flash fails the first time reboot the computer and try again.
After that sync connect your MI account to the device, enter Dev mode and you will find OEM Unlock option.
Not easy but it works.
Good Luck!

After successfully putting the phone in deep flash mode you need to update Qualcomm drivers (under device manager it must appear as com3 or com10 port after that).
Then use Mi Flash tool to flash Chinese dev rom (http ://bigota.d.miui.com/7.1.20/miui_MI5S_7.1.20_229fa68558_6.0.zip). If the flash fails the first time reboot the computer and try again.
After that sync connect your MI account to the device, enter Dev mode and you will find OEM Unlock option.
Not easy but it works.
Good Luck!

I tried all the possibilities described, that do not need flash developer rom using a deep flash cable. I changed drivers and everything, no success.
In time, I already ordered a deep flash cable here in Brazil. For my part, I thank all fellas who tried to help me but gave up trying anything else. As the title of the topic, my device is currently virtually impossible to unlock in the normal way.

Hi, what exactly did you do to succeed? Thanks.
I am stuck on Mi5s with 8.0.3.0. global stable ROM and the unlock blocks on 50%.

I have same problem to unlock Mi5s before but then realize that you need to update driver on your PC from Keadcom (or samething) into Marshall London Bootloader and it success.
Now my Mi5s uncloked officially.
I just use same Mi account which has permission to unlock my previous device which is Mi5.
No need deep flash cable, just normal cable can do.
Hope this help.

Thanks you very much!
Unfortunately this this did not help. My assumption is that 8.0.3.0. Global stable needs ROM-internal permissions, which are currently missing. (In fastboot mode ADB is able to communicate to the phone, so it is not a driver issue.)
Unlocking bootloader

No it doesn't mean it will work with Mi Unlock tool. It is some time ago I have guided one on this forum trough procedure and he succeeded at least. Read his experience: https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...king-beast-t3416088/post67695482#post67695482
Hello,
This morning I received my MI5S, it's a beautifull phone but I have big troubles with, the ROM on it is the 8.0.4.0 for the MI5S Plus, so the fingerprint sensor, the APN and perhaps others thinks aren't working.
I've tryed to unlock the bootloader but the unlock software don't allow me to press the button even if it's recognized with fastboot.
I've also tryed to download the rom and to apply the update via the Update Application but even that don't work I have an error.
When I plug the device (turned on) on the computer it is recognized as a Mi5S Plus.
I have done a authenticity check and this seem to be good.
Do you guy's have any idea how I can pass the Global 8.0.3.0 version on it ?
The biggest trouble is that I can't unlock the bootloader for the moment, when this will be done it should be fine.
Thanks in advance,
I'm just hopping that I don't will have to send it back, waited so long to get it :/
Use China mi pc suite and try to flash the official rom
I have a error message: You need to update your device to use Mi Suite.

Go to the phone updater app and use download update
Thanks for the answer @XMoDuLeSx,
But I already did this and it didn't worked, I think that the update app will only accept the mi5s plus roms because it recognize the device like a Mi5s plus.
I think that the only way is to use a xiaomi deep usb cable to change it, but I don't have the necessary to build one myself for the moment :/
If someone have any idea how I could flash via fastboot another official ROM without unlocking the bootloader or any other idea it would be awesome
use miflash andd flash a fastboot rom.
@xangoch This didn't worked.
I finaly made a engineering cable and it did the trick
Thanks for the answers

You can try this tool.
https://xiaomitools.com/sp-flash-tool-en/
There are also other tools, do a search on XDA and Google.
thx. i tried it, but the problem is that i could not get into edl. the com port is showing up for 1 sec and then it reboots and get into fastboot.
sp tool doesnt accept the scatter file from my rom.
is it possible to flash twrp with locked bootloader and restore it?
or is the only way to get a remote support?
thx

It is not obvious for recent devices if the soc is not supported.
EDL mode is only for Qualcomm devices.

Sorry but this does not apply to your device.

thx,
so i've tried the tools.
i get into preloader state but wihout serial port so mtk stucks. Maybe its windows 11?
i also tried the xiaomi tool v2 but its horrible, cause our phone is not in recovery list (i wrote the developer to import it)
also in sp flash tool i don't get the button to bypass security
If still under warranty, send it.
