For unbrick phone i have to flash something but bootloader locked, xiaomi account in it belong to me but it says "Please add your account in MIUI's Settings > Developer Options > Mi Unlock Status" i didn't know i must readd account in developer options as well. it was already open bootloader when i get it. i have old xiaomi account as well but when i try that while unlocking showing my new one's ID but new one not added in developer options. So what i can do?
In your current condition (BL locked, phone bricked) you could only search for professional help.
Either in the local service shop (they will ask for papers, why IMEI was changed, etc)
Alternatively, search on XDA (various Xiaomi phones), Internet, Telegram for the remote and paid EDL support.
May not be very pleasant nor cheap

You need to use global developer rom not stable one to be able to bind account with your phone.
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!
Hello, I need help. I can't get to the phone. Earlier removal of the lock code does not work.
I have the latest software version: N975FXXS3BTB9 ::
Please help Thanks:

If it is indeed the FRP lock then you have two options:
Input the last used google account information and password. Then perform a factory data reset to turn off the FRP lock
If you purchased or was given the phone contact the person whom you received it from and get the google account information. After entering the account and once your able to use the device perform a factory data reset to disable FRP lock
Otherwise no other help can be offered because the FRP lock is an anti-theft measure. If it was your google account last used and you don't remember your username/password then contact google for help. If you purchased or were given the device then you need to return it and/or get your back.
It is important to remember that when you sell/buy a phone (or give it to another person) it is important to always perform a factory data reset on the device. By performing a factory data reset you remove the google account information and disable the FRP lock.
Thank you, none of these options come into play. There is no way to get rid of this situation with this software? ;(.. Regards

FRP lock is enabled because a google account was present on the phone. In order to remove the FRP lock you need to input the Google account information and perform a factory data reset after your able to access the settings menu.
Was it your google account information that was last used on the phone or someone else's?
Granted it would be helpful if you put a little more info on what it is your trying to do exactly with the phone and what happened leading up to the issue (example: Are you trying to flash firmware to it, are you trying to root it (if root exists for the model), did you buy the phone, did someone give it to you, etc)
It is plain clear that the device is from an unclear origin, a legally owned device can ALWAYS be serviced ultimately by samsung or carrier, whichever one does it in such or such country, when people says it is "imposible" then for sure, they have no legal proof of ownership
I just found that OP posted a similar situation in the honor 10 section, back in 2018, in which of course nobody offered help, as it looked suspicious

The phone had a google account, I did a hard reset. And the blockade popped out. I can go to the Samsung website but I will have to pay for this service. I wanted to rotate the device. I'm not a layman, I know a little about phones. However, this model had the latest firmware. I am not a thief and I have documents for this device.

The device is legally bought, I just do not want to go to the site and pay for removing the lock, it is an authorized service on this latest Android.

Factory data reset disables FRP lock. If that is what you did then you shouldn't be getting a prompt. Since you can't enter the Google account information it is apparent it was not your Google account last used.
Unfortunately having papers saying you bought it doesn't mean the phone was obtained legitimately. The person you got it from may not have had the right to sell it.
I suspect there is more going on here then meets the eye.
If Samsung said they really can fix it go that route.
The proper ways to get help with FRP lock have been posted.
Recover the Google account and log in as usual, or seek official help from Samsung. Any other means will not be discussed on XDA.
Waiting for Pad 5 to arrive, in meantime was looking around and had few questions.
From what the seller posting said, it is china version with bootloader unlocked to flash global rom.
Since you need to link a Mi account to the device to unlock the bootloader, is there a way to unlink the account the seller used to flash the global rom without access to the account they used? This is just to remove the seller completely from device. (Maybe since it's already unlocked it's not needed? Idk I'm new to most of this)
Even if it's a minuscule chance of seller installing some malicious programs, is a reset through device settings enough to return it to factory/stock or is it better to re-flash global/another AOSP rom.
Thanks in advance.
Received the tablet, will answer my own questions
There was no MI account already logged in like I had thought and someone on reddit mentioned it as well in the comments. But like the store page mentioned, bootloader was already unlocked so I still think seller account was used SOMEWHERE. I think only way to fully check would be to re-lock bootloader (using china rom) then go through the unlocking process using your own account. I'm not that paranoid to do that though.
I did try resetting to factory through the settings app, no asking for password of any sort appeared liked I thought might appear (iCloud lock). In the end, I ended up flashing the latest version of the global rom anyways instead of doing the OTA update. It came with V13.0.4.0 RKXMIXM global firmware.
Now I'm trying out MIUI to see if I like it enough or I might flash ArrowOS/any of the other AOSP roms that support this tablet.

Hi,
Is your device still under warranty? If yes, you can go to the center to get it fix.
mi support via email were not very helpful and suggested i posted in the mi community forum for help.

Check with your credit card company, many of them offer cell phone insurance.
