A big help on my new Max

Hi,all and thanks to read this help request.
I bought a Xiaomi Mi Max 3Gb and 32Gb internal memory from Gearbest, after a few days the device arrived.
And when i turned it on,surprise surprise... the Mi Max arrived with a Miui Account in it.
I 'm able to see the pictures,calls,messages,and is miui account on the smartphone, i don't think that the phone was used,it doesn't any evidence of use,or any thing else.
It apears that they tested the device,and forget to log out and remove the Mi Max from that Account.
I tryed a factory reset,but it ask's me for a password that i don't have, of course.
I talked to Gearbest, that they are taking to long to decide what to do, but even if they say, that i have to sent it back the shipping cost will be high to sent it from Europe to China.
I haven't check yet if the bootloader is unlocked, by adb commands, but i wasn't able to enter in to recovery (pwr+up) it just shows a image of a phone asking to plug it to usb.
And (pwr+down) goes into Fastboot, i have been reading in xda foruns,miui,and in a Spanish fóruns about this and a solution to it.
I know that is difficult to erase the Account, is hard to remove the decide from the Account,and that even that one solution could be downgrade the miui version,enter with a new Account and after upgrade it to miui 8, i have to say that the Max is a Chinese version with multilanguage.
Other solution is if bootloader is unlocked, try to flash twrp, and place a CM13 rom and most probably will not have problem with the miui account.
But how to do it??
And can i in edl mode flash a developer rom even with the bootloader locked, and remove everything so the Chinese guy Account release the Max?
Can someone point me in the right Direction,and if possible to we're i can found a tutorial?
Thanks you

hey buddy u should post ur questions in the q&a forum
anyways

Hard Bricked even after remote session with L2 Technician

Recently, I rooted my op5t 8/128gb successfully and played around with several mods till the problem occurred when i flashed Xposed framework and also some of sauron soundmod after flashing my op5t was rebooting to 1+ screen and freezed there without booting into program normally. I can only access to fastboot mode with screen show bootloader unlocked. Then I followed some advice from xda post to flash recovery again but nothing happened eventhough the recovery flashing was successful. Finally, I contacted op online service and did remote session with it's L2 technician, during the process of fastboot flashing thru msmtool 4.0.3, my op5t bootloader is locked then I was asked to turned off the op5t and turned on again. Then problem is still existed, it freeze at 1+ screen ok only thing I can do is booting into fastboot mode only and not even go to recovery mode. I am very disappointed since the staff told me to send in my op5t to them but I am living in Thailand and so my op5t was purchased from local handcarry store not official store. I decide to post my story here and I hope someone can figure out the way to help solving my op5t problem. Please help.

You need to ask L2 to flash it in 'Qualcomm' mode. You can check whether this mode still works:
1) Turn off your device and make sure it is completely OFF
2) While pressing (and holding) the volume up button connect it via USB to your computer
Check under which name, if any, it shows up in device manager. If it does, they can flash it and fix it.
edit: if they flash with that tool you mention, it looks like they have already tried....It's not fastboot mode though

I had done it during remote session and did the recovery installation thru msmtool but after reboot it is still the same.

Please help me.

when they used the msm_tool and downloaded the files to ur phone, did it show successful and u rebooted? there is no reason why the unbrick tool did not unbrick ur device, it goes towards all partitions. u will have to go through OP again.

Op asked me to send the op5t for service at US official service center which is impossible option for me as I am living in Thailand.

Sorry, but why is that impossible? They apparantly cannot fix it remotely, you'll have to send it in.

I am living in Thailand and they only accept service for local US address only.

Did you try to explain that to them? What about the place you bought it from? Can't return it to them?

The reason is that the seller in Thailand is not the authorized agent and they sell the mobile without warranty. Buyer take own risk.

Have you tried this, looks promising, hope this helps, cheers.

I think u have to have ur bootloader unlocked with that one, his bootloader was relocked I think he mentioned

No offence but why would you root a device in the first place when you know there is no warranty when thing went wrong?

OnePlus does still Warranty the device with unlocked bootloader and rooting, he purchased from a 3rd party which has not return, exchange or warranty, oneplus is willing to fix or exchange the device but he needs to ship from the US.

Correct. This is the reason why I can send in my phone because my address is from Thailand not USA.

Your Device Has Failed Verification And May Not Work Properly

I recently got a 7x from ebay.co.uk. I noticed the opened box states the model is BND-AL10 (Chinese) but in the phone settings it's a BND-L21 (International). S/N and IMEI match.
Out of curiosity I tried Huawei Firmware Finder for Oreo. I used DNS method, picked the top one as seen here (verified): hxxp://pro-teammt.ru/firmware-database/?firmware_model=BND-L21C432&firmware_page=0
It downloaded like 20 patches totalling around 8+GB and then asked to reboot...and failed.
My phone still works but I now get this during boot:
"your device has failed verification and may not work properly.
1) Press power key to continue.
2) Press volume up key up to 3 seconds to enter erecovery to restore your device.
3) your device will stop,start if there is not operation.
I tried Huawei eRecovery: 'Getting package info failed'
What should I do? Noob.

erecovey fails for everybody. dont know why.
the message you see is normal if bootloader is unlocked. You should have had that same message first time you turned it on too.
Attempting to use firmware finder to apply updates , is not possible to unlock bootloader, so it had to have already been that way.

This is known message resulting from of having boooader unlocked. Few people have been trying to make it not show , but no one has made it public if they have been successful at hiding it.
Now you got that phone (used, I assume ).From eBay. Perhaps the previous owner found some way. And attempting to update made his "hack" undo. Don't really know.
You can check if bootloader lock status to be sure if it is unlocked or not.

In FASTBOOT&RESCUE MODE:
PHONE Unlocked
FRP Lock
This phone is sold as brand new boxed. However, like I said it was opened. I wasn't expecting to get a Chinese version that has been flashed. I should have just paid a bit more from Amazon. Though, I'm not fussed as long as I get updates and it's stable.

that status is very bad.
that combination of unlocked bootloader and locked frp is often hard if not impossible to get past.
unless you can access developer options menu and enable "enable oem unlock" menu option.

I read that "Huawei is no longer offering bootloader unlock code in 60 days." I tried to request a unlock but I get just get
"If you have any questions about the unlock code application, please contact us."
Nothing happens. I contacted them.
Will I ever need that unlock code given that it is already unlocked? Should I return/refund the phone and buy from Amazon UK or am I wasting my time, since I'll likely be requesting a unlock code and possibly be playing with roms in a few years. I keep phones as long as possible and a basic user which is why I have little knowledge with them.

I would try and get a refund (if you bought via PayPal I think you may get some kind of support).
You can get the 7x from UK retailers for as low as £210. But the current Amazon price of £228 is not bad.
Do you browse HotUKDeals? Always check there before buying anything in the UK or from China.

Yes, PayPal. I contacted the seller on the matter. Will see what they say. After using Firmware Finder correctly I updated to 8.0 Oero. The message during boot also went away... I'll certainly check out hotdeals. But if the phone works should I bother?

i think it is a little suspicious on the bootloader getting unlocked like that, but if its working , and you flashed full ota, then maybe give it a try.

"Dear buyer,
Sorry for bring you any inconvenience and disappointment, the reason we have opened the package is because we need to download a multiplied language system to the phone before sent it out, they it can be use normal in this country. And for the model no, that's a normal phenomenon after rooting the phone.
Anyway, is it affect your use? what can us do for you now?"

Since the bootloader is unlocked I won't need to request a unlock code or ever need that code? As I did read Huawei is no longer offering bootloader soon.

Bootloader unlock and relock
deleted, posted on a new thread

Hi. I'm having an issue with this new phone. It's Wowi Ultra SQ766. On start up interface the 'Red State' notice comes up, goes off for 5 seconds and comes back on. The full message states:
'Red State
Your device has failed verification and may not work properly.
Please download boot image with correct signature or disable verified boot.
Your device will reboot in 5 seconds'.
Could you please help me out with a solution or fix for this.
I'd be happy if you would help.
Awaiting your reply.

Please HELP to unlock BootLoader - nothing works, looking for unofficial method

Hello there,
I've searched through all the googles and i can't seem to be able to unlock my mi 5S
Bought a half dead phone, glitchy screen and bad battery. Purchased new parts and had them installed.
Phone came with unlocked BL and lineage OS, but i f-ed it up by flashing a miui rom that locked the BL.
Then I found out the phone was actually bound to an existing MI account, so I cannot unlock it with the official tool.
Phone is in edl mode, i tried searching for an unlocked emmc_appsboot.mbn but no luck.
Can anyone please advise how to unofficialy unlock the bootloader?
I'm about to sell it for parts as I've been trying to fix it for the past week ... :crying:

Not sure if there is a way, because that way could also be used for a stolen device...
My suggestion is that you contact your seller and ask him for his Xiaomi account or that he deletes the phone from his account.
Weird thing though, the phone does not get locked if you just flash an official ROM. You specifically have to choose "flash + lock" in the official flashing application to have it locked again.

I've been emailing with xiaomi support, gave them all the details. Maybe I can convince them to remove the account.
Before flashing i was checking online on how to do it with miflash tool but i missed the radio buttons and default was clean and lock ..

After a few documents submitted through [email protected] they have removed the unknown mi account.
To conclude, I have not found any way of unlocking the bootloader except for the official way.
Also, be careful when flashing with miflash, don't lock your phone by mistake.

Ah great that it worked!

Sorry to say but thats a hard brick bro. Better take it to a miui service center.

Hold the volume down and power button for ~ 30 secs to see if you can get into fastboot mode.

so weird, it must be no problem when u flash back to stock rom, same rom as the first..
and when u buy the phone, bootloader still locked right.?

It asks for an EDL Authorization so that you can flash with locked bootloader.
just a heads up, don't search online for edl authorization account paid service cause its mostly scam.
the nearest service centers would be in the USA, but email here first [email protected]
to ask for the process

The mistake I see is, you flashed the official global rom with "clean and lock" that means after flashing it factory resets the phone and locks the bootloader. This is a major mistake. Because flashing aren't always successful.
Don't worry Xiaomi is very lenient with it. And the problem occurred on their software.
Next time if you're using mi flash tool, only select "clean all"(sorry I don't have the lastest mi flash tool on me and these are just the old files of my Mi A1. But I do have Poco F3)
edit: after flashing with "clean all" option only, you'll have an unlocked bootloader, and wanted to re-lock the bootloader, you just need to enter "fastboot oem lock" in cmd(in the fastboot+adb file)

for me I never relock my bootloader even if I'm on stock rom, I won't risk the chance that it might brick during OTA and have to send it to service center. Too much of a hassle.

Same.
I've had Mi Pad 4 for 3 years now and can't even count how many times I flashed it with Xiaomi.EU, back to stock and then Pixel Experience.
Never a problem simply because I never tried or had a need to relock the bootloader.
I don't know why so many people have been posting bricked devices in this forum lately, do people not know how to read.
Sorry for being blunt, but on a device worth $500 Canadian I would think people would take proper precaution and read on procedure
details before flashing any rom custom or stock.

I really do not understand too much why these issues occurs.
When you exec flash_all script, the bootloader relock is executed the last instruction of the process, and only if all the images flash ends successfull
